Chapter 159: The Weak Stepson of the Blood Clan vs. the Beautiful and Promiscuous Stepmother 3
Jiang Sheng turned around and was surprised to see a resolute and stern face with sharp edges and corners, slightly raised brow bones, and a pair of blue eyes below, the same as Qi Xu's.
His nose was straight, the corners of his lips were stretched straight, his shoulders were half as wide as hers, and there was an inexplicable sense of oppression that made his whole body exude a sense of sharpness.
Seeing her surprise, Qi Hanwu's eyes showed no other emotions. He just held her waist and said lightly: "You are late."
Thinking of his cruel and ruthless description in the book, Jiang Sheng quickly explained: "I was sending Qi Xu to school, so I'm late. Sorry."
Qi Hanwu lowered his head, glanced at her defenseless face, and nodded slightly.
"Next time, don't be late."
"Got it," she whispered.
The moment everyone saw Qi Hanwu, they all looked at him.
After all, there are too many legends about this man. In the more than 300 years since he survived, a history of his has been written almost every 50 years.
He is also the vampire who has sat on the position of leader of the blood clan for the longest time.
He put his arm around Jiang Sheng's waist and walked to the red seat that belonged to him. Perhaps it was not discussed in advance, but there was no seat prepared for Jiang Sheng next to him.
Jiang Sheng consciously wanted to walk to the other table.
Qi Hanwu said in a deep voice: "Come here."
Jiang Sheng turned around and raised his eyebrows to indicate "Then where should I sit?"
He glanced sideways, and a hint of anger flashed in his strange eyes. Jiang Sheng curled his lips and walked over.
When she was one step away from him, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, then pulled hard, and Jiang Sheng sat on his lap. Because she didn't react in time, her hands subconsciously hugged his neck.
The whole hall let out a cry of surprise.
Jiang Sheng blinked twice in confusion, raised her eyes and saw Qi Hanwu's sharp eyes. She quickly let go of his neck, then forced a smile and smoothed out his wrinkled suit.
"You...are really strong. It would be better if you could remind me next time."
Qi Hanwu glanced at her sideways, put his hand on her waist and lifted her up so that she could face everyone gracefully.
"If you perform well in this play, you will be rewarded with a vampire bracelet."
The blood clan bracelet is equivalent to making the blood clan recognize her identity, so that those vampires who are in urgent need of blood cannot easily attack her. Once they do, the blood clan leader will punish them cruelly.
This is also a friendly move towards humans. Humans who own this bracelet usually make great contributions to the vampires.
So for Qi Hanwu, today's banquet is indeed very important.
Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.
In the original story, Jiang Sheng was in a coma for three days because she drank Qi Xu's blood and missed the banquet. I wonder what kind of accident will happen to her this time.
Qi Hanwu had already sat down, and the highest representatives of werewolves and humans also took their seats one by one.
What surprised Jiang Sheng was that the highest representative of mankind was Fu Jinchuan.
Fu Jinchuan was also surprised when he saw her sitting in Qi Hanwu's arms, but he quickly looked away.
After greeting Qi Hanwu, he sat on the other side.
Jiang Ge came in with him, but was stopped by the bodyguards when he approached this side.
Seeing Jiang Sheng sitting in the main seat, she also wanted to follow Fu Jinchuan, but the bodyguards did not give her face and stood in front of her coldly, ignoring her.
Fu Jinchuan didn't want to attract attention, so he said something to Jiang Ge, and then she reluctantly walked to another place and sat down.
After everyone had quieted down, the werewolf representative Moya stood up and spoke first.
"Today's gathering is for the peace between our three parties for the next ten years. I hope everyone will listen carefully to the speeches and calmly explain their dissatisfaction with the stage and the way they hope to deal with it. Do not leave at will, interrupt the speeches, or lose your temper during the meeting."
Jiang Sheng looked at the person who was speaking. He seemed to have lived for many years. According to the description in the book, Moya was the leader of the werewolves and had existed when Qi Hanwu existed.
However, that person obviously looked too shabby. Although he was not old, he was still a prominent figure among the three representatives.
"According to the rules, our werewolf tribe will speak first this year."
After that, a blond man at the next table picked up a thick stack of speech manuscripts and stood up.
Jiang Sheng took a glance and almost cursed.
That pile looks thicker than her million-word novel. It will take her till dawn to finish it all!
Jiang Sheng moved her butt impatiently, and Qi Hanwu glared at her angrily, so she could only sigh and continue peeling her nails.
Fu Jinchuan next to her glanced at her and raised his hand before the werewolf spoke.
Moya was obviously a little unhappy, but since it hadn't started yet, he was allowed to speak.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I need to remind you that the vampires must leave before dawn, so please keep your speech brief."
Then the vampire representative who took action also nodded in agreement.
The representatives of the werewolf tribe looked at each other with some reluctance.
At this time Qi Hanwu finally spoke.
"One hour."
Moya got angry when he heard this, slammed the table and said, "This is a three-party meeting, why do you have the final say?"
Jiang Sheng was so frightened by him that he almost split his nails, and immediately looked up.
Didn’t this person just say that one shouldn’t lose his temper? It hasn’t even started yet and I don’t know who the rule is meant to govern.
Qi Hanwu lowered his eyes slightly and nodded at the table impatiently.
The rest of the people held their breath and dared not make a sound.
"If you don't want to talk, let's adjourn the meeting."
After saying that, Qi Hanwu hugged Jiang Sheng and stood up, pretending to leave.
Fu Jinchuan smiled slightly and began to persuade him kindly.
"It happens once every ten years. It's hard-earned. Everyone calm down. This one hour is not just for the werewolves. We and the vampires will also abide by this time."
Moya was so angry that his face turned red, but after thinking about his next plan, he took a deep breath and sat down.
"One hour is enough."
Jiang Sheng waited for Qi Hanwu's next move like a tool.
But he suddenly lowered his head and asked her: "What do you think?"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall suddenly looked at her, even more shocked by Qi Hanwu's intimacy with her than before.
Jiang Sheng's body went numb. She thought, how could she feel? There was no rehearsal in advance and no hints.
She smiled awkwardly and looked back, her eyes met Qi Hanwu's, blinking again and again, waiting for an answer.
However, the other party just looked at her indifferently, without any intention of reminding her.
Mo Ya at the main table was getting impatient waiting. Jiang Sheng had no choice but to bite his lip and whisper, "I think Mr. Fu is right. It's not easy for us to get together. Let's... listen to it first."
"Listen to you."
Qi Hanwu nodded, then hugged her and sat down again.
The whole hall was in an uproar.
Except for the people at the main table, everyone else began to cover their lips and whisper.
Jiang Sheng suddenly understood.
Qi Hanwu was waiting for someone to give him a way out.
Fortunately, she didn't say what she was thinking: Don't hold the meeting, you're all going to break up tomorrow anyway!
After listening to the werewolf representative's speech, Jiang Sheng knew why they had such a thick stack of speeches.
Every incident expressed strong dissatisfaction with the vampires.
Also, he is jealous of the good relationship between vampires and humans in recent years.
And for each complaint, there will be a five-minute condemnation.
But looking at the scene, it seems that except for the werewolf who expressed his agreement, everyone else is just watching the fun.
It took an hour, and not a second was wasted.
Mo Ya raised his hand with satisfaction, motioning the spokesperson to sit down, and then squinted at Qi Hanwu and said:
"I hope the vampires can rectify what I said today."
Qi Hanwu glanced at it and ignored it.
His indifference made him look more noble and more presentable than the werewolf's undisguised hostility.
The following speeches by humans and vampires were relatively brief.
Most of them are about the principle of peaceful coexistence, but as for werewolves, there are a few complaints.
For example, the werewolves have become more violent in recent years, and they often beat humans or rob human property.
The provocations against the vampires became more and more brazen, and violence was bound to occur almost whenever they encountered them.
The werewolf added another half hour of justification to this.
But it's of no use.
After re-signing the peace agreement, the three parties shook hands.
Then comes the real banquet time.
Qi Hanwu let her go after the agreement was signed.
Jiang Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Why do you need me to act with you?"
He looked back expressionlessly, but there was a hint of contempt in his eyes, which was completely different from his previous intimate behavior.
"The succession of the Blood Clan Lord requires the support of some humans. You are usually useless, but you are still very useful in voting."
Jiang Sheng suddenly understood that he was treating himself as a tool to make friends with humans.
She chuckled, "If you can keep preaching peace, then I'd be happy to serve you."
Qi Hanwu sneered and said calmly:
"You are just a servant who provides blood for my son. You should recognize your own identity. If your father hadn't taken the initiative to send you to me, any human being would serve me and they would be grateful for it."
Jiang Sheng curled his lips: So arrogant!
It is considered as turning against someone.
The tables in the hall were removed and melodious music began to play.
Jiang Ge saw them talking and pulled Fu Jinchuan over.
Jiang Sheng was just thinking about letting this man die when a voice suddenly came from the side: "Shengsheng!"
Qi Hanwu and she both turned around in the direction of the voice.
Fu Jinchuan still maintained his gentlemanly smile and nodded to the two of them.
Jiang Sheng frowned, and then she heard Jiang Ge coming forward and hugging her arm again.
"Why are you ignoring me? Aren't we family?"
Family, the kind of family that steals a man?
She curled her lips and sneered, then she put her hand away and looked at Fu Jinchuan: "Mr. Fu, please take good care of your wife and don't recognize relatives casually."
Fu Jinchuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly to Qi Hanwu somewhat embarrassedly.
Qi Hanwu said, "Come to me later," and left.
"Shengsheng, I am sorry for this matter, but please don't take your emotions out on your sister. After all, you are family."
After Qi Hanwu left, Fu Jinchuan also threw away the serious and distant look he had in the meeting, and his tone of voice became much gentler.
Jiang Ge bit her lip and clung to Fu Jinchuan's arm, her eyes red with grievance: "It's all my fault. If I had stood up for Shengsheng, Shengsheng wouldn't be angry with me..."
Damn, I hate white lotus the most!
Jiang Sheng tutted impatiently, and suddenly said with disgust: "It's a bit disgusting, how about you compensate me with some money."
As she spoke, she had already stretched out her hand, as if asking for something.
Fu Jinchuan frowned, "How did you become like this?"
Jiang Sheng was full of questions: "What about me?"
Jiang Ge sniffed, frowned and said:
"Sister must be having a hard time in the Qi family, right? It's okay. I know that the blood race always thinks of themselves as noble and look down on humans. If you are wronged, just tell your family. Dad will not ignore you."
Jiang Sheng raised his hand to check the time, and raised his eyes impatiently: "You've said so much, don't you have no money? If you don't have money, why are you pretending to be a root? You're wasting my time."
Jiang Ge was stunned, then frowned: "Shengsheng, how can you say such vulgar words."
Fu Jinchuan frowned even more, took Jiang Ge's hand and said:
"I didn't expect she was such a person. I still feel like I owe her something. Let's go. Since she doesn't want to acknowledge you, don't have any contact with her anymore."
Jiang Ge's lips curled up inadvertently, and he pretended to be sad again: "I didn't expect that Shengsheng would be so heartless now..."
Jiang Sheng glanced at the two of them, cursed them as "idiots", and went back to Qi Hanwu's direction.
“…Jiang Sheng!”
She was too lazy to listen to what was said next. After all, every world would have a few weird supporting characters who were there to make up the word count. She no longer cared at all.
Sunrise is in two hours, and Qi Hanwu has to leave before that. So the person who attacked him should also leave before that.
While looking for Qi Hanwu, she looked through her reward card.
"The only cards that can be used in this world are probably Agility and Strength."
System: Tip: In this world, werewolves will create their own weapons. They are different from human weapons and some of them are invisible to the naked eye.
"In that case, then we have to use that perspective card."
System: The perspective card can identify all objects that cannot be seen by the naked eye, but it is a consumable card and is only valid for thirty minutes.
"Okay, that's enough."
System: Okay, the Strength Card and Agility Card are stage cards and can be used continuously in this world. Do you confirm your use?
"Use it."
System: Reward card in use.
After searching for a long time, I finally found Qi Hanwu in the last rest room on this floor.
At that time, he was discussing something with other vampire representatives. When he saw her come in, he just glanced at her and continued his discussion.
Jiang Sheng accidentally glanced at the ceiling and screamed in fright.
The others all looked at her with frowns, obviously thinking that she was disturbing them.
However, Jiang Sheng didn't have the courage to explain.
The ceiling was filled with people standing in the room, each holding a variety of weapons pointing directly downwards.
When he looked down again, he saw a room full of people under the floor, also holding weapons and pointing them upwards.
Then look at the door she had just closed.
There was a group of sneaky people standing outside the door, holding... dynamite!!
