"And I don't accept rejection," she added again in a voice so cold, absolute, and undeniable.
Instantly everyone was silent, even Xue Ning. For some reason, their voices seem very heavy to be issued.
"Miss, how about you?" Zhou asked breaking the silence.
"I will follow you after leading them into the forest," Fu Xie Lan replied.
"Okay, then you shouldn't get hurt, Miss. Be careful," Zhou replied.
Fu Xie Lan didn't reply to the man's words again and just nodded in approval.
Rising from her position, the girl tore off the dress she was wearing, making it look like someone who had been the victim of a beast, and it managed to expose some parts of her smooth skin.
During their journey in the forest, they often encountered several wild animals that seemed to be sleeping. The beast that Fu Xie Lan had also encountered in her previous life.
"Xie-Xie Lan, what are you doing?" asked Xue Ning.
But Fu Xie Lan only glanced at the source of the voice without giving any explanation. "You guys prepare to enter the tunnel," she said and didn't wait any longer, she slowly walked towards the parapet, with only Hao perched on her shoulder, gazing warily around.
The other six people tried to shorten the distance from Fu Xue Lan by jumping onto a tree branch to take a closer look at what the girl was going to do.
Everyone seemed to be holding their breath as if what Fu Xie Lan was doing was something very dangerous.
While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan was walking leisurely. She knew that by now her presence had been sensed by several Vampires, because from her vision, those who were far away, were all heading towards her at this time with lightning-fast movements.
Until there are only a few steps left to get out of the thick trees.
"Stop!!"
And it managed to create a smirk behind the cloth covering her face.
By now she was being surrounded from all directions. Even those who were guarding the edge of the parapet had also gathered around her.
All the figures in red robes stared at her intently, with their fingernails already lengthening on both hands.
Fu Xie Lan was taken aback, "W-who are you?" she stammered looking like a genuinely frightened person.
"Miss, what are you doing in the forest like this?" asked one of them, seemingly noticing Fu Xie Lan's appearance.
"I-I'm lost, Sir."
The Vampires glanced at each other. All of them are grown, men.
"Where's your cloak?"
"Why are your clothes like this?"
"I can't feel any race aura wafting from your body," said one of them again.
"Which race are you from?"
"Hey, hey. Don't scare her like that. She's a woman," said another, then stepped closer to Fu Xie Lan, his sharp nails seemed to have been pulled again, his red eyes had also turned normal.
"By the way, Aren't you cold?" asked the man as he circled Fu Xie Lan's body and gently stroked the exposed skin on her back.
At the same time, Fu Xie Lan's body stiffened. The girl immediately turned around and shifted her body to the side.
"Ah, sorry for my impudence," said the man again then chuckled.
"Do you know where you are now, Miss?"
Fu Xie Lan just shook her head, her current appearance truly depicted someone as helpless.
"Don't be afraid, Miss. You are lucky to meet us," said the man with a smirk.
"Where is your robe?"
"Ah yes, why did you get here?"
"I-I don't know, Sir. I-I was just trying to find a way out and it took me to this forest. And because I was attacked by some wild beasts," replied Fu Xie Lan in the weakest possible tone of voice.
"Which family clan are you from?" the man asked again.
Fu Xie Lan shook her head, not answering the slightest made the man raise one of his eyebrows.
"Hmm okay, none of that matters."
"You know what kind of punishment one would receive when one wanders the Jun family clan territory right?"
"D-don't punish me, please."
"I don't know anything about this territory. Please let me go," said Fu Xie Lan in a pleading tone.
"Too bad, Miss. Punishment is not given by us. We are only assigned to catch the intruders," said the man again.
"Unless..." he said, and the man openly looked at Fu Xie Lan's body from top to bottom.
"W-what is it, say it. As long as I can get out of here, sir."
While the six figures hiding not far from Fu Xie Lan were able to hear all the conversations. Everyone was confused and still couldn't guess what the girl's plan was, except for Ju Xian. Yet they remained in place and watched closely.
Previously they had thought that Fu Xie Lan would immediately attack the Vampires, beating them to the point where they couldn't move. But what do they see now? That girl acting shy and scared?
Ju Xian who saw Fu Xie Lan's actions could only pray for the safety of the Vampires. He understood, the girl was playing.
Ju Xian had followed Fu Xie Lan for a long time, he had more or less understood what the girl's character was like.
"Is that true?" the man asked Fu Xie Lan then looked around, signaling to the others.
Fu Xie Lan only nodded faintly with both hands hugging her own body. Looks like a really scared person.
"What if we wanted your body?" said the man again clearly.
Fu Xie Lan froze, this was not the previous plan. But since she had come to this point, why didn't she continue?
Fu Xie Lan shook her head in fear.
"Come on, Miss. Don't be afraid like this. You only need to serve us one by one. Easy isn't it? Instead of receiving the death penalty?" said the man again as if he was bidding.
Xue Ning almost got up from her spot, wanting to teach that dirty mouth a lesson, but her attempt failed, one of her arms was held by Wan Lie making her unable to move. "Just shut up and watch," the man whispered.
"It's really easy, Miss. After that we will take you out of the Jun family clan territory without receiving any punishment," added the man again gesturing to his friends.
They all knew that no intruder should be allowed to escape, whatever the reason. If they meet the intruder first if it's a woman in their territory, wouldn't it be better if they took advantage of her first before sending her to prison, waiting for the sentence to be handed down?
And this is what they are doing now. Only focused on Fu Xie Lan and subconsciously forgot the few figures they were looking for earlier.
"N-no, Master. Don't," Fu Xie Lan tightened her arms around her own body.
The man wanted to put his arm around her shoulder.
However...
AAAAAHHHHHH....!!
Right then and there, Hao bit the man's hand until it bled.
