Chapter 198 It smells so good, can I drink your blood?
"Damn it! I'm so angry!!"
Lin Shuwan stormed in, holding a large black umbrella, then threw it aside and sat down with a flourish, grabbing a cup and gulping down water.
Tronos put down his book, glanced at the cup in her hand, and said in a nonchalant tone, "You seem quite comfortable using my things."
Lin Shuwan then noticed that there was only one cup on the table, and it was placed next to Tronos...
She pretended to be naive and said, "Hehe, I don't mind."
Tronos looked at her, speechless, but the disdain in his eyes was clear.
"You look down on me, but I look down on you too, what a problem."
Lin Shuwan covered her mouth with her cup, muttered something under her breath, then put down the cup and called out to the wooden puppet that was waiting in the kitchen, "Xiao Mu, pour two more cups of water."
Upon receiving the instruction, the puppet silently carried out a kettle and two cups, refilled them with water, and then quietly left again with the cup that Tronos and Lin Shuwan had shared.
"This puppet is really useful. Where did you get it?" Lin Shuwan asked, holding the new water cup with great satisfaction.
"You really want to know?"
Tronos's tone was normal, but Lin Shuwan inexplicably sensed a sinister undertone in it.
"Haha, no need, I'm not actually that curious."
Thinking back to the various bizarre or bloody methods of wizards described in the book "The Witch Clan" last night, I feel that the way this lifelike wooden puppet is made may not be so mortal either.
A strange image suddenly popped into my head:
Before a large, bubbling cauldron, Tronos, dressed in a black robe, held a book in one hand and threw a large pig's heart, two tufts of hair, and several shriveled, strange skins into the cauldron with the other... and then the puppet jumped out of the cauldron on its own...
The scene was terrifying yet strangely funny.
Lin Shuwan quickly shook off the strange thoughts in her mind and changed the subject, saying, "Let me tell you about what happened to me today..."
When Lin Shuwan woke up in the afternoon, she had intended to hunt for food, but then she remembered the vendors selling live animals she had seen in town the day before, so she turned around and went to town again.
As for the money to buy wild game, hehe, before she even asked last night, Tronos left three more money pouches.
She counted them; there were a total of 237 gold coins in the three bags!
She only used 3 gold coins for a brooch, which means that she made a net profit of 234 gold coins by reselling it!
This deal is such a great deal!
It's just a brooch, she's sure she can find one that's a perfect match for Tronos today!
ヾ(＄???＄)
She happened to have thought of a few other clothing styles, and she could go and order another batch today.
That way, once I've worn all the styles I ordered yesterday, I'll have new dresses to change into.
*:??(?′?`)??:*
However, Tronos only took the furniture from the two carriages yesterday; he left the horses and carriages behind.
She went to look for it today, but the horse had bitten through its rope and run away, leaving behind two carts.
When we pass by the Massimo store later, we'll tell them to come and pick it up themselves; she can't carry it.
Lin? Vampire? Shu? In reality, he could lift two cows with one hand. He pinched his fair and slender arm, his mind racing with inner monologue.
But she can pay them half the price of the horse.
After all, they were the ones who promised to come back soon, and then they never returned. They bear half the responsibility for the loss of the horse!
Although she has more money today than yesterday, no one can make her spend any more money unnecessarily!
Lin Shuwan clutched the money bag and nodded heavily.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped into the market, the townspeople seemed to have seen a ghost. Some closed their doors, some closed their windows, and some pushed their carts away. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.
Only one cattle seller remained, sweating profusely as he pulled at two stubborn oxen that refused to move from the spot.
"Hey, are you selling this cow... for sale?" Before Lin Shuwan could finish her question, he abandoned the cow and ran away.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you doing business?"
Puzzled, Lin Shuwan passed by Massimo's furniture shop from the day before.
There was even a sticker on the door:
The store is closed, and the reopening date is uncertain.
? ? ! !
Great, that saves us the cost of a horse!
Lin Shuwan turned around happily and went to the store where she had bought clothes and accessories yesterday.
She said yesterday that I could just knock on the door, as she's usually home.
"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom."
"Hello, is anyone there?"
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong -"
After knocking for a long time, the door finally opened.
Lin Shuwan casually complained, "Why did it take you so long to open the door? My hands are about to hurt from knocking."
The tailor, Emily, was deathly pale. Hearing Lin Shuwan's seemingly reproachful words, she trembled uncontrollably: "My lord, I...I was busy making your custom-made dress and didn't hear you for a moment. Please, please don't be offended."
"How's it going?"
Lin Shuwan simply asked a question, which startled Emily so much that she broke out in a cold sweat: "It's not done yet. Don't worry, I'll definitely finish it for you the day after tomorrow, no, no, I'll definitely finish it for you tomorrow."
"So fast! Then I'll be able to wear them very soon."
Lin Shuwan's eyes lit up, but after glancing at the dark circles under Emily's eyes, she still said arrogantly, "Fine, it's agreed to be ten days. I'll come back to pick it up in ten days. You'd better do a good job."
“Yes, yes, yes, definitely, definitely.” Emily quickly agreed.
"Oh, right, I've thought of another batch of designs. Here's the deposit. I'll go inside and explain in detail." Lin Shuwan spread out her hand and handed over five gold coins.
"You evil demon, we don't want your gold coins, get out of our house right now!"
A little boy suddenly rushed out of the room and knocked the gold coins out of Lin Shuwan's hand.
Emily grabbed the little boy, took several steps back, covered his mouth, and knelt down hastily: "Sir, children speak without thinking. He is just a child. Please don't blame him. If you want my soul, take mine instead, sob sob sob."
"Mmm, mmm, mmm (Mother, no, you can't!)!" the child cried out as his mouth was covered.
"A demon? A soul? You didn't believe that rumor too, did you? I'm so beautiful, how could I be a demon!" Lin Shuwan pointed to her face in shock.
"Yes, yes, oh no, sir, we misspoke, we misspoke." Emily held the child, tears streaming down her face in fear.
The little boy in her arms was still staring at Lin Shuwan with wide eyes.
"You guys, forget it." Lin Shuwan felt as if she had been doused with cold water, and her good mood was completely gone.
Too lazy to explain further, he left with the words "Come back in ten days to pick up your clothes," feeling both dejected and angry.
……
"Just tell me, how do I, who am so beautiful, resemble a demon?"
After recounting what had happened, Lin Shuwan was so angry that she gulped down another large glass of water.
Seeing that Tronos was still flipping through the book without any reaction, he angrily slammed his hand on the table in front of him.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? I got this title thanks in part to you, you have to compensate me."
Tronos didn't put down his book: "Don't forget who you are now."
“I…” Lin Shuwan was like a punctured balloon, momentarily short of breath, but immediately retorted, “But I don’t drink human blood.”
"As a vampire, to even attempt to live normally with humans is naive."
"Hmph, I was human before, so why can't I get along with humans normally? Just you wait and see! I'll explain it to them sooner or later." After saying that, Lin Shuwan left Tronos and went upstairs.
