Chapter 767: The Fateful Reunion

It was a quiet night. Thanks to his exceptional skills, Xiao Luo quickly recovered from his injuries.

By dawn, he was healed completely and all of his injuries, be they bone fractures or lesions, were no more. However, the True Inner Force in his body was still weak. The best he could achieve was probably the level of Great Martial Master in the Arcana Land. He needed to spend another night on the healing process to get back to the peak of his strength.

Although he knew the Silver Wing Mercenary Group was scheming against him behind his back, Xiao Luo needed their protection for the time being. He remembered the encounter with the destructive muscular exotic beast with the three rooster heads and a dog head. After the attack, Xiao Luo realized he had to stay with the mercenaries for the protection they afforded him. His existing strength did not allow him to go around in the deep Dark Forest on his own. Besides, he had the annoying duck for company, and it was simply too dangerous for him.

But fate was a mysterious thing. Xiao Luo ran into Ghost again along the way.

The girl was standing in their path. She was in that strapless black long dress and holding her small red umbrella. In the dim forest, her pretty face and attractive figure made her an extraordinary sight.

She looked surprised to see Xiao Luo. She beamed instantly after a slight frown. “Lil’ Luoluo, I have been looking all over for you,” she cried out to him.

Xiao Luo did not know how to react to her. She sounded like she was complaining.

“We are goners for sure. Ghost will suck our blood, and we will turn into two dry corpses,” groaned the Duck Emperor.

He snuck his head back into Xiao Luo’s pocket and huddled inside it, trembling with fear. He had once watched a vampire movie before, and the scene of vampires sucking blood was terrifying.

“Bro, who is this?” Silver Dragon asked Xiao Luo.

“A friend,” said Xiao Luo.

“A friend?”

Silver Dragon frowned and asked, “Did she come here with you?”

“You can say that. Yes,” Xiao Luo answered with a nod.

“Boss, I have a hunch that something is not right with this chick. She seems to be afraid of sunlight. Could she be a member of the Sucking Blood Clan?” said Camel, who was observing Ghost closely.

The Sucking Blood Clan?

The other members turned pale when they heard. They immediately went into a fight stance, prepared for battle. One after the other, the men aimed their crossbows at Ghost.

“Incredible! You are eagle-eyed and recognized me as a member of the Sucking Blood Clan,” Ghost said as she looked at Camel with appreciation.

Was she a member of the Sucking Blood Clan?

The members of the Silver Wing Mercenary Group panicked.

Xiao Luo had already guessed who Ghost was, so he remained calm.

Silver Dragon coughed dryly, then regained his composure and said, “Miss, are you a member of the Sucking Blood Clan?”

“Why? Do you think I am lying?” Ghost asked.

Then she opened her tiny mouth in front of him. Her canine teeth suddenly became longer and sharper. Those teeth could easily rip a person’s neck open in a flash. With an innocent smile, she said, “Do any of you want me to bite you? You will turn into an immortal!”

“Huh?”

The group of mercenaries gasped. They now knew for certain that the young girl was from the Sucking Blood Clan. She looked like she was entering adulthood soon, and therefore, she had to be as powerful as a Martial King, just like her leader.

“Boss, what should we do?” Camel asked Silver Dragon in a low voice and was in a state of panic.

“Calm down. The girl might be here alone. We do not need to panic at all if she is alone. The money we get from selling exotic beasts is little. If we can subdue and sell such a pretty vampire girl, we will get enough money to spend for the rest of our lives,” said Silver Dragon as he schemed.

Everyone in the Silver Wing Mercenary Group gasped again. Their leader was so bold that he was scheming against the Sucking Blood Clan. After they recovered from the initial shock, they became excited about his plan. The vampire before them looked just like a human teenage girl of about sixteen or seventeen years of age. She would be a rare catch. If they could capture and sell her, they would live a good life from then on.

Xiao Luo heard everything they said. But he was not strong enough yet. So, there was nothing much he could do about it.

“Hey, what are you guys murmuring? You already know I am from the Sucking Blood Clan. Why do you not flee?” asked Ghost, frowning.

Silver Dragon burst out laughing. He looked even calmer. “We respect the Sucking Blood Clan a lot. And I am very excited to see you, Young Missy. I would like to see how great a member of the Sucking Blood Clan truly is.”

“You respect us a lot… you are excited to see me? Are you not afraid of us?” asked Ghost, feeling the situation rather strange.

“Not at all. To us, the Sucking Blood Clan is noble. A beautiful vampire like you looks like a princess. Every move you make, you look so elegant. Young Missy, may I know what your name is?”

“Ghost!”

“Ghost? What a beautiful name. Miss Ghost, did you leave the Dark Castle alone to look for food?” asked Silver Dragon slyly. He released his energy to detect whether there were other vampires around the surrounding.

Ghost nodded and answered, “Exactly. I am here alone. I am picking fruits.”

Xiao Luo felt a headache coming on after he heard her answer. Was she a member of the Sucking Blood Clan? Ghost was just a sweet, silly girl. Silver Dragon was checking her out, but she had no idea and was being so honest with him. She told him she was alone, which meant she did not have any backup. She was so naïve.

A crafty look flashed on Silver Dragon’s face. He said, “Oh, is it? So, Miss Ghost, you are alone.”

The rest of his group gave each other meaningful looks. They were afraid of the Sucking Blood Clan, but it was the adult clansmen whom they feared most. To them, the teenage vampire girl was like a piece of a delicious morsel for the taking.

“Bro, she is going to suck your blood, isn’t she? Do not worry. Let me seek justice for you.”

Silver Dragon shouted at Xiao Luo heroically. Then he waved his hand and said, “Guys, it is time for you to show what you have got. Catch her. We have been with a lot of women, but never with a vampire woman. I will give this opportunity to the first one who can subdue this chick!”

“Boss, that is a tempting offer!”

“Go! I will try the vampire chick first!”

“Haha, haha… we are going to be rich!”

For the mercenaries, Ghost was a golden goose. But she was also an attractive, pretty woman. They surrounded her and threw the thick rope they used to tie exotic beasts toward her. A few of them tied Ghost up shortly after, while the others pulled the rope from different directions.

They captured her as if she was an exotic beast!

“What are you trying to do?” shouted Ghost.

“Capture you!”

Silver Dragon grinned hideously. As he leaped into the air, his energy peaked. Then he charged down toward Ghost, aiming his palm at her.

“You want to capture me? You wish!”

Ghost glared at him sternly then channeled her inner force through her arms, snapping the ropes they used to bind her. When the ropes gave way, the men who were pulling them fell to the ground.

Ghost hurriedly struggled out of the rope and met Silver Dragon’s palm strike without hesitation.

BAM!

The two palms clashed in the air. A thunderous blast resounded in the quiet forest, and the force of the impact sent a strong wind surging through the area like a sea of angry waves.

Silver Dragon was sent flying. Ghost staggered a few steps back before she could steady herself.
