Chapter 198 The Poor Vampire is the Real Boss 21
She carefully examined the person in front of her again. The appearance was still very similar, only the emotions in the eyes had become lighter, and the corners of the lips were slightly pursed.
The other person remained calm and composed in the face of Ni Qing's unbridled scrutiny, his long eyelashes slightly lowered. Even when he was in a bad mood, he seemed much calmer than Brewster.
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell.
"Presiding Judge?" she looked up and asked softly, but her tone was certain.
As the moon sank lower, he slowly raised his chin and nodded calmly.
Ni Qing: "..."
"How did you end up here..." She heard her own strained and embarrassed voice. She had just used the same way she usually did to coax a child on Yue Jianchen.
Not long ago, the two were at odds.
Didn't her dear idiot boss say that such a thing only happens once every few centuries?
The moon grew lower and the silence deepened, bypassing the question and clearly indicating she didn't want to answer. Why was he here? He could come and go as he pleased in any space; how could this have come from her mouth—
It seemed as if they didn't want to be there.
He struggled internally, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation, but at the moment, he couldn't.
When did I have to go to such lengths to lie? Thinking of this, he felt a strange sense of annoyance.
"I don't know." He could only awkwardly utter this clumsy lie. Ni Qing had been through so much in his life, he naturally had to be a little perceptive, like giving his boss's boss a way out.
She arched her eyebrows slightly, and said without much emotion, "Then you'd like to rest? I'll take my leave now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy's delicate features calmly looked over, his tone indifferent: "In a hurry to leave? I need to check the progress of this world's plot."
Ni Qing: "!!!"
This chilling, goosebump-inducing feeling was just like the suffocating feeling of a teacher giving a surprise quiz; memories of punishment flashed through her mind.
The thought of a sickly yet obsessive and morbidly beautiful young entertainer, along with all the NPCs filled with madness, was enough to make her extremely irritated.
Her pretense had been dropped, and she became impatient: "Sir, there's been a bit of an unexpected situation in this world. I'll handle it, so please don't trouble yourself with such trivial matters."
Yue Jianchen paused slightly, then pursed her lips, casually propped herself up on the edge of the bed with her long, slender hand, her tall figure almost looking down at Ni Qing.
The girl took an uneasy step back, not out of fear, but because she was afraid he would suddenly lean in and kiss her, and also because his eyes were too lifeless, as if he had completed some task and there was no emotion in them.
It gives people a weird feeling.
Is she someone he can kiss whenever he wants?
Ah.
The two remained locked in a stalemate until he finally said calmly, "Be mindful of your boundaries. Don't develop unimportant feelings for anyone in this world... You should leave."
Ni Qing: "?"
Although his words came out of nowhere, she still understood the last three words, so she turned and left without hesitation, a complete contrast to her previous attitude towards Brewster.
After she left, he curled his fingertips slightly, then sat back down on the edge of the bed, seemingly unconcerned. His eyes were clouded, and for some reason, a sudden wave of sadness overwhelmed him.
Before I met this person, I was perfectly normal, but why...?
He tried to recall his blank mind, but couldn't remember anything. He hadn't thought much of it before, but now he felt increasingly lost. What had he forgotten?
Ni Qing had already returned to her room, washed up, and rested. The next day, she was summoned to the prince by the servants as usual.
As the door slowly opened, the boy, still with silver hair and bloodshot eyes, looked at her with a unique emotion in his eyes.
The moon gradually set and the person left was Brewster.
Based on her experience last night and her keen observation skills, she quickly realized what was happening, and then gave a calm and composed smile and bowed: "Good morning, Your Highness."
Brewster stared intently at her, a rare, pleased smile playing on his lips. The servants stood on either side, somewhat embarrassed by the current atmosphere; it was definitely not a good sign.
