Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 224 Lingling's Visit
Three poles in the sun.

Ding Yumian rubbed her painful and numb thigh, and was so angry that she stepped on the face of Xu Shen, who was sleeping soundly like a pig.

"Let me sleep a little longer," Xu Shen muttered, pulling down her fair feet and holding them in his arms, making her both angry and amused.

"Big pig hooves!"

She grumbled half discontentedly and half dotingly, breaking free to prepare breakfast.

This girl's learning ability is really terrifying.

The former culinary black hole, after several years of training, has become better than even five-star chefs.

Xu Shen got up because of the smell of food.

The man hadn't fully woken up yet, but he followed his instinct and sat down at the dining table.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Lingling?"

Xu Shen opened the door and looked at the uninvited guest in surprise.

Lingling poked her head under Xu Shen's armpit, and Yangyang said in a weird voice, "No wonder you didn't report to the hunting ground after you came back alive. You reveled every night and never wanted to leave your homeland?"

Xu Shen was a little embarrassed.

We fought too late last night and the battlefield has not been cleaned up yet, so it is indeed a bit messy.

But what kind of lewd words does Lingling say? Is this how the cold hunter king teaches his children?

"Tell me, what do you want from us?"

Xu Shen calmly put away the hemp rope blindfold that was scattered on the chair.

"Ah, you pervert," Lingling pushed Xu Shen away with disgust and sat down at the dining table to take out the materials in her bag.

"I found traces of a vampire."

As she was speaking, Ding Yumian walked out of the kitchen carrying the first dish.

"Wow, Sister Yumian, I love you so much!"

Lingling was very excited. She ignored the information and went straight to the kitchen to find a set of bowls and chopsticks.

Xu Shen was speechless: "You should have eaten by now."

"I haven't had lunch yet!"

Lingling felt justified and picked up the chopsticks to eat with relish.

"You are so lucky," Xu Shen complained, "Eat less. If you get too fat, be careful that no one will want you in the future."

"Hmph, none of your business." Lingling happily swung her ponytails, puffed her cheeks and ate chicken feet while saying, "Take a look at that stack of information."

Ding Yumian smiled when he saw Lingling, and went to the kitchen to get another bowl of soup.

At this moment, Xu Shen picked up the information casually, and his pupils shrank and his heart was shaken.

Nie Dong, an extremely strange but "unforgettable" man.

In the previous life, it was this man who caused Xu Shen and Liu Xian to break up. Since then, Feng Xin no longer loved anyone. He traveled through the world of demons, wandered on the edge of life and death, struggled for several years, and was trapped in that small town of time for the rest of his life.

Because of Isa, he has a deep understanding of the vampires.

In this group, most of the males are experts in hunting for beauties.

They lingered among the flowers, relying on the "Moon Charm" technique to unscrupulously pick young girls.

To be honest, Xu Shen looked down on such guys.

However, the vampires are well versed in the art of survival. They hide in the Magic City but never provoke mages. They even try their best to maintain the underground order of the Magic City. It can be said that they have contributed to the stability and harmony of the Magic City.

Therefore, as long as you don't go too far, the court will turn a blind eye to it.

However, Xu Shen never thought that in his previous life, the man who made him lose his mind and leave his hometown was a vampire.

If this was the case, he felt it necessary to re-examine Liu Xian's so-called "cheating".

He suppressed his excitement and asked, "Is this person a vampire?" "Yes," Lingling said, "His public identity is a forensic doctor. According to my judgment, he has just become a vampire. He acts very roughly and has committed three murders."

"Three times?"

Lingling was enjoying her meal and had no time to explain to him. She pointed at the information and said, "You'll know if you flip through it."

Xu Shen finished reading it patiently.

All three victims were female, the youngest was 15 years old and the oldest was 27 years old.

According to Lingling's investigation, Nie Dong rarely used "Moon Charm" to control women's minds when he was looking for women. He thought this method was too low-level and almost boring.

For him, conquering women is more like playing a game. Every time he completes a level, he throws it away and moves on to the next target.

But most of the time, his charm is not enough to win over these women, and out of shame and anger, he would use the "Moon Charm" cheat to get a taste of the delicacy.

But "Moon Charm" is not a method that always works. He has just become a vampire not long ago, and his abilities are much worse than those of his predecessors. He will not succeed if he encounters someone with a strong will to resist.

At such times, he would become completely enraged and would resort to all means of threats and intimidation, but even so, there were still those who would rather die than surrender.

This was the case with the deaths of these three girls, although according to the police report, their causes of death were sudden cardiac death, car accident, and suicide respectively.

It seems that there is no flaw in every case.

But this seemingly perfect disguise is too easy for a vampire, especially when he is a forensic doctor who often deals with corpses.

Xu Shen thought about how he got the news of Liu Xian's death not long after he left the Magic City in his previous life, and he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

"Where is he now?"

Lingling was stunned: "Who are you talking about?"

"Nie Dong."

The two words were almost squeezed out through gritted teeth.

"Ah Shen, what's wrong with you?"

Ding Yumian brought out the last dish and looked at Xu Shen with some worry.

She had never seen Xu Shen like this. His face looked ugly, even pale, and the anger in his heart was like that of a peerless ferocious beast that would choose its prey to devour.

"I'm fine." Xu Shen took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Lingling, stop eating and come with me."

"I haven't eaten yet..." Lingling said dissatisfiedly. She looked into Xu Shen's eyes, which were calm but contained a frightening power. She changed her words from the bottom of her heart: "Let's go now."

Ding Yumian put down the steaming pottery basin and said, "I'll go with you."

"No need, it's just a general-level monster," Xu Shen said, "I'll be back soon."

Lingling had never seen Xu Shen like this before.

He didn't say a word along the way, but his aura was inexplicably frightening.

"Where is he?"

"North Country Club," Lingling said carefully, thinking carefully about her words, "There's a big fish behind him. I think we should not alert the snake for now."

Xu Shen did not respond.

He walked very fast, and Lingling had to jog to barely keep up with him, but for some reason, she didn't dare to complain.

This man was like a volcano about to explode.

Soon, the two arrived at their destination.

It is still prosperous here, but the people are gone and things have changed.

This is Xu Shen's second visit here since Isa left.

"He's in a small reception room on the second floor," Lingling stared at the red dot on the map on the tablet, and without waiting for Xu Shen to ask, she obediently reported the exact location.

"Wait for me outside," Xu Shen's voice was calm and cold.

Although Lingling really wanted to join in the fun, her intuition told her to nod obediently and stay outside.
