Chapter 106 Vampire Duke

The call came from Ren Songfei. Chen Xiao gave Song Anran an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I need to take this call first."

"Go ahead, I'm not stopping you."

Song Anran muttered, clearly emotional.

Chen Xiao couldn't be bothered with her little mood and answered the phone.

"What's wrong, Lao Ren? Why are you calling me? Did something happen..."

No one spoke on the other end; only the whistling of wind could be heard.

"Where's all that wind coming from? Lao Ren, where are you?"

Chen Xiao frowned. Ren Songfei should be on the way to escort Edward right now.

"I'm on the roof..."

In the wind, someone finally spoke on the other end.

However, it wasn't Ren Songfei. Judging from the voice, it was clearly Edward.

"Oh? Which rooftop are you on?"

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked. He didn't bother asking the pointless question of what the other party had done to Ren Songfei.

"Heh heh, I'm on the rooftop right above you, little guy. Want to come up and play with me for a while?"

Edward's playful voice came from the other end.

"Very well, you wait for me. I'll be right there."

Chen Xiao sneered and hung up the phone.

"You're leaving already?"

Song Anran heard Chen Xiao's phone call and naturally knew he was leaving.

"Yeah."

Chen Xiao nodded, didn't explain, and strode towards the window.

Song Anran pointed to the door, "The door's over here!"

"This way is faster!"

Chen Xiao opened the window and jumped straight out, scaring Song Anran, who quickly ran to the window.

Looking down, there was no sign of Chen Xiao. Looking up, she saw Chen Xiao stepping on the air conditioner unit by the window. After a few leaps, he was already almost at the top of the building...

Song Anran smiled wryly, "What kind of monster is the man I like?"

On the rooftop, Ren Songfei knelt at Edward's feet, like a little lapdog.

Chen Xiao wasn't surprised that Edward had escaped. After all, he was a Duke of the Vugula clan; relying solely on the Eight Gates Great Lock (a type of restriction) would probably be difficult to restrain him.

However, Chen Xiao was a bit surprised that Ren Songfei was so spineless.

He was about to burst out cursing, but suddenly remembered that Ren Songfei might be under Edward's control.

"Little guy, I didn't expect you to be able to do this."

Edward looked at Chen Xiao with amusement. "How did you know our Vugula clan is sensitive to cilantro?"

Chen Xiao said coldly, "I don't like being called 'little guy,' even though you might be hundreds of years old!"

"Heh heh, you're wrong. Just last month, I celebrated my one thousand one hundred and eighteenth birthday."

Edward laughed heartily. In the sunlight, he was so pale he seemed to glow.

Chen Xiao said calmly, "Coincidentally, we Chinese have an old saying: 'a thousand-year-old tortoise, a ten-thousand-year-old turtle...'"

"Damn it!"

The smile disappeared from Edward's face. "Do you think I don't know that in your China, 'tortoise' is an insult?"

Chen Xiao smiled playfully. "You're wrong again. I'm not insulting you; I'm cursing you, cursing you, you old tortoise, you bloodsucker!"

"You rude bastard! I thought you had some skill, and I was even considering turning you. Now it seems you've really disappointed me. I'm going to crush your head bit by bit!"

In the sunlight, Edward's nails slowly grew long and sharp, purple-black veins popped out on his face, and when he bared his teeth, he revealed eight sharp fangs.

"Eight fangs? Looks like you're not much stronger than Ava and Schmidt..."

Chen Xiao counted Edward's fangs and said nonchalantly.

"You bastard, how many vampire secrets do you know?"

Edward was surprised that Chen Xiao could distinguish vampire ranks by the number of fangs.

Chen Xiao thought seriously for a moment, then said, "That's about it."

"That's enough for you to die a hundred times over! Prepare to die, bastard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Edward's body left an afterimage in the air. In an instant, he was in front of Chen Xiao, reaching out to grab Chen Xiao's neck.

The incredibly sharp black nails were about to slash Chen Xiao's throat.

But at the last moment, Chen Xiao grabbed Edward's hands and twisted them hard!

Half of Edward's sharp nails were snapped off by Chen Xiao's twist.

"Ah—"

A roar echoed on the rooftop.

Edward's speed and strength were much faster than the likes of Ava, but in front of Chen Xiao, he was still lacking.

After his nails were broken, he quickly retreated, looking at Chen Xiao in disbelief. "You, you, how are you so fast? What exactly are you?"

He was shocked. Even the werewolves, vampires' natural enemies, didn't have Chen Xiao's speed.

"Heh heh, since you dare to invade China, haven't you heard of cultivators (xiuxian者)?"

Chen Xiao asked mockingly.

"Cultivator? You're a cultivator?"

A look of shock and fear appeared in Edward's eyes.

Before he set off, the elders of his clan had warned him that he must not provoke cultivators in China. They were a group of reclusive monsters with unfathomable strength.

But those super-powerful cultivators usually hid in the deep mountains, living in seclusion. Why could he encounter one in the city?

Chen Xiao didn't even bother answering his question. He flashed in front of Edward and punched him...

Bang!

Edward was dizzy and saw stars.

He swore that even a speeding train didn't have the power of that punch!

"Despicable bloodsucker, daring to come to my China to act wild! If I don't beat you until thousands of trees bloom with peach blossoms, you won't know why the flowers are red!"

Chen Xiao punched harder and harder, soon unlocking a new achievement.

That achievement was that he had beaten a vampire until he was bleeding from the head.

Edward was both fearful and resentful. Since becoming a vampire, he had never been beaten until he was bleeding from the head. He had even thought that vampires couldn't bleed...

"Didn't you want to play with me? How is it? Are you having fun?"

Chen Xiao became more and more frenzied as he fought. The feeling of fist-to-flesh was so satisfying that his hair stood on end.

But at that moment, a blue light flashed in Edward's eyes...

And Chen Xiao's mind suddenly went blank, and he lost consciousness.

"Damn it, almost capsized in the gutter..."

Only then did Edward breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, he looked at Chen Xiao angrily and roared hysterically.

"You filthy Chinese, how dare you beat me, the noble Duke of Vugula! I will make you pay a terrible price!"

Edward spat wildly, venting the anger in his heart!

Even though he knew that Chen Xiao couldn't hear his roars...
