Chapter 205 The Poor Vampire is the Real Boss 28
In Brewster's mind, the concept of emotion was vague, almost nonexistent. Ni Qing silently comforted herself before escaping his control when he was off guard.
"Is there something you need from me?" She looked up at him, slightly puzzled.
"Fuck you."
The boy's words were like a thunderclap, almost shattering Ni Qing's jaw.
They thrived in the first seven worlds, but were horrified in the eighth.
The black-haired girl's undisguised blank stare amused Brewster, whose eyes curved into crescents and whose bloodless lips curled slightly, his low, magnetic laughter echoing in every corner.
"Do I need a reason to see you?" he countered.
Ni Qing remained expressionless, her fists clenched at her sides.
The male protagonist of this world has suddenly become very wicked, extremely wicked, and utterly wicked. He is no longer the adorable little guy she remembered who was easy to fool.
Perhaps this is his true nature being revealed; this is the first time he has encountered such a straightforward and explicit male protagonist in all his worlds.
Perhaps the joke had gone too far; he was in a great mood, and in a moment of distraction, he was already sitting on the throne. He looked down at her, his eyes swirling: "Tell me, why did you keep that woman here?"
“I just felt sorry for her.” Ni Qing paused, then continued, “Besides, I also think Your Highness acted a bit impulsively today. No matter what, you shouldn’t have insulted a foreign prince so directly.”
Not a single word he said was true.
The boy remained silent for a long time. Behind him was a giant arched window, with ornate and intricate patterns winding their way up the windowsill. The silhouettes of tree branches swayed and grotesque, like menacing monsters.
The blood-red moon and Brewster's eyes were exactly the same color.
The air suddenly went quiet. Ni Qing was now completely defiant. Even if she angered the male lead, she was going to die anyway, and death meant she would finally be ending this world that hadn't been updated in so long.
The imagination is wonderful, but the reality is abrupt.
His Highness the Prince asked thoughtfully, "Were you really that kind before?"
Ni Qing: "Yes."
He could tell she wasn't telling the truth, but he figured even if he pressed her, she wouldn't reveal the reason. After a moment's thought, he skipped the topic and said calmly, "Don't get involved with... that woman. She's up to no good and wants to take advantage of you."
The girl retorted, "Am I that stupid?"
"some."
"103, do I really have to take this job today?" Ni Qing asked expressionlessly.
The system was momentarily confused: "A knife hangs above the character for 'tolerance'."
The male lead paused for a moment before speaking, and she seriously doubted whether he even knew the female lead's name. It was best not to test him; her fragile heart couldn't bear the pressure.
"Get out of here and rest. Don't even think about running around. Do you know how dangerous the outside world is?" he said, glancing at her.
Whether he saw through her thoughts or was extremely insecure, he vaguely felt that this alone wouldn't keep her, and that he could only try to make her stay obediently in the castle through this weak and ineffective threat.
Ni Qing casually hummed in agreement, then opened the door and left.
She had thought that Lina would still try to get close to her in the next few days, but perhaps because of what happened last time, she had only come to see her a handful of times and could only stay for a few minutes before she couldn't stand it anymore.
Amin now wields a lot of power, managing everything big and small. She's always in a rush, and even her initial gentleness has completely disappeared.
At first, many pure-blood servants looked down on her and were unruly, but in the end, under Brewster's deliberate guidance, she decisively killed the provocateurs.
Ni Qing learned all of this from the servants around her. Amin would still get excited when she saw her, but they usually couldn't talk for very long.
Bored out of her mind, she finally decided to go find Amin to find out everything that had happened in the castle while she was away, so that she would have a better understanding of the situation.
She wore a long black silk dress, her dark hair contrasting with her snow-white skin, and her lips were scarlet. She dodged the fluttering bat chicks and arrived at Amin's room.
Just as she was about to knock on the door to say hello, a familiar female voice came from inside the house.
Through the door, she couldn't hear what was being said inside. Lina looked down on half-vampires, so why would she approach Amin? She frowned slightly, alarm bells ringing in her mind.
"Amin, are you there?" She deliberately raised her voice.
There was a moment of silence in the room, then the door opened: "Ni Qing! It's rare for you to come see me, come in quickly." Amin's cheerful voice rang out, completely different from the coldness she had shown on the night of their reunion.
The girl hesitated for a moment: "Wouldn't that be inconvenient? Do you have other guests?"
Amin waved her hand: "I can let that noble lady from the neighboring country go."
Lina, who was eavesdropping inside, turned green with rage.
She clutched her skirt. It was alright; there was plenty of time. She couldn't leave any flaws. So she stood up and gracefully performed a noble vampire greeting: "I apologize for disturbing you; I'll take my leave now."
Elegant yet casual, it's hard to tell anything about her.
Ni Qing absentmindedly made way for her to leave.
After she left, Amin continued, "Why do you seem so listless? Come in and sit down. We don't need to drink blood clotting agents anymore. I have some fresh animal blood here. Would you like a cup?"
As she spoke, she took out a wine glass, poured a glass of red liquid, and handed it over.
Ni Qing was somewhat resistant. After all, she was still human, and her conscience prevented her from accepting drinking blood so quickly. She could only take a small sip.
She put down her cup and asked casually, "Has Lina been looking for you a lot these past few days?"
Amin nodded: "Yes, I was quite surprised when she first started chatting with me. I remember she used to look down on our status, but she's suddenly become much gentler these past few days and even said that you're good friends."
"You're my good friend?" Ni Qing raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, and have you noticed…” Amin looked at her with great interest, “she looks just like you.”
The girl in the black dress paused, "Like?"
Indeed, in the original story, she was the male lead's ideal woman, while the female lead was her substitute. After she left, he imprisoned Lina to alleviate his longing and hatred.
However, Lina refused to give in and kept going against the male protagonist. Over time, she gradually developed feelings for him.
Ni Qing seemed to be deep in thought.
