Chapter 613: Who Is She
Two hours later
After a profound and heart-to-heart exchange, touching the bone and tendon…
"This is a master key with the bloodline curse imprint on it."
"Without this curse imprint, trying to open the door will result in being entangled by curses."
"Not only will it bring bad luck, accidents, disasters, and bloodshed, but it will also directly lead to baldness, so just open the door honestly, don’t go through the window."
"I don’t have many private houses in the Ming Country, only about five personal bases, and I can’t tell you more."
"I only have some overseas assets, I can’t give them all to you. This is a privately operated credit card, but it dates back half a century, opened in a private bank account at the highest level of secrecy, no one can trace it."
Sasha crossed her arms and arrogantly lifted her chin.
"That’s all."
"Take it and go."
The tone was poor, but the attitude was very straightforward, giving without delay, no nonsense at all.
Bai Wei himself didn’t expect it to be borrowed so easily, he said, "Thank you, Eggplant."
Sasha waved her hand disdainfully, "At least it’s also at the Martial Saint level, living like a beggar, aren’t you embarrassed? I feel embarrassed for you… I didn’t lend it out for nothing, you have to pay it back."
Bai Wei clasped his fists, "I will definitely pay it back… but it’s not right to say beggar, I don’t trust anyone else to borrow from, only Sasha, I feel more at ease."
Blood Noble’s eyes twitched when she heard the words, "Are you scolding me again?"
Bai Wei, "I didn’t."
"Oh right, I might be a bit silly and have a lot of money!" Sasha lifted the blood spear, "But you’re tough!"
Ah, the little girls of the past were still cute, blushing and puffing up their chests when praised.
Nowadays, praising you is like stepping on a landmine, with every touch causing swelling, like a pufferfish.
"Farewell!" Bai Wei bowed and immediately retreated from the shards of heaven, the distance between them suddenly lengthening.
When Sasha came to her senses, she found herself standing on her own balcony, the sun still shining brightly outside, and it was already lunchtime.
She lazily stretched, happily moving her muscles and feeling good, except for one thing…
"Did I give too much?"
"What if this little demon rubs his nose on his face?"
Sasha became more and more worried. She believed she was not someone who acted tough but was actually kind-hearted. Would she soften up just because someone asked her to?
"No matter what, next time he comes looking for help, I won’t help him!"
"Absolutely will not pay attention!"
"If an old person like me gets caught, it’s very disrespectful. People in the Ming Country nowadays lack manners."
Determined Sasha was full of confidence for the next meeting. She was determined to reject firmly.
She shouldn’t have paid attention this time. It was all because of a moment of soft-heartedness, as if she was under a spell.
How did this unexpected good feeling come about? It shouldn’t have happened.
There must be a problem, maybe a curse or some kind of mystery.
She angrily took off her earring pendant, opened the drawer, and threw it inside.
"Useless jewelry… none of them work anymore. After all, they are all old antiques. I’ll send you to the museum for retirement someday."
Legendary jewelry:…
If it could feel emotions, it would surely be sobbing in great distress.
…
"Do you actually have somewhere to stay?"
"Isn’t this house too old?"
"It appears like it hasn’t been touched for at least several decades."
Initially, Xue Hanlei didn’t believe it. She knew most of Bai Wei’s situations inside out. Where did he come up with such tricky plans?
The slap came quickly.
The next day at noon, Bai Wei took Xue Hanlei with him and arrived at a suburb near Luzhou, where a ancient mansion was located.
The architectural style of the Ming Country combines modern and ancient art styles, featuring unique combinations of deep courtyards, garden villas, and more.
The scene before them even had a small garden, clearly a reproduction from later times. While it might have been a replica a century ago, a century later, even replicas were not much different from the real thing.
What was even more surprising was that buildings, when left empty, would age rapidly with time. Neglected houses would deteriorate even faster, but despite its age, this house showed no signs of decay. The exterior was covered in green ivy, yet the interior remained old but sturdy.
As Bai Wei used the key to open the iron gate, he noticed that there was a special array set up inside the house.
"Feng shui, and… burial grounds."
Bai Wei sensed that there were two additional levels below the building, understanding its design intent.
Chinese architecture emphasizes feng shui and the avoidance of negative energy. When renovating a new house, even the direction the front door faces must be approved by a feng shui master.
And burial is also part of feng shui. Descendants place themselves in coffins when they sleep, with the bottom lined with ancestral soil. In a sense, vampires are also corpses, and sleeping naturally is a form of burial.
By combining Eastern and Western mysticism, it is to choose a good resting place for oneself to sleep here. It is very beneficial for dark races, but it may be too gloomy for ordinary people.
While staying temporarily in the house, Xue Hanlei couldn’t help but ask, "This house isn’t yours, is it?"
"No, I borrowed it from a friend, and this card too," Bai Wei produced a credit card.
"Your friend is really generous."
"Absolutely."
"The price must be high, right? Is it payback in flesh?" Xue Hanlei asked curiously.
"Why do you always think along those lines?" Bai Wei teased. My friend can’t be a guy…
Xue Hanlei expressionlessly pointed to the wall, where decades-old photos left by Sasha were displayed in the window, dressed in Chinese clothing like an old photo from the Republican era, framed and hung on the wall.
"The paintings are all of the same woman," Xue Hanlei said. "And you can tell by the decoration style that this is a place for one person to live. There are no couple rooms or baby rooms, only a single bedroom."
Bai Wei stared at the photos in the shop window for a while, feeling a sense of history and time passing by. His personal feelings towards Sasha hadn’t changed, but five hundred years had passed. Of course, she would have changed, and even in the photos she no longer looked carefree.
"These photos were taken a long time ago."
"It seems the other person is also a very old wealthy lady," Xue Hanlei joked. "With white skin and bright eyes, no mistake, she must be of European descent… Lucky indeed, to meet such a high-quality wealthy lady."
Bai Wei turned suddenly and playfully poked Xue Hanlei’s forehead, saying, "You’re thinking dirty thoughts again."
"I’m not," Xue Hanlei dodged the poke and protectively held her hand in front of her forehead. "But I also don’t believe in pure friendship between men and women!"
"It exists," Bai Wei insisted. "How can you doubt others so easily!"
"Alright, if that’s what you say, then if you have a wife in the future and say you’re going out to eat and travel with your male friend for seven days without contact, don’t get jealous!" Xue Hanlei challenged playfully. "Can you do it?"
Bai Wei didn’t respond directly and asked. Which man can do that?
Xue Hanlei sat down, crossing her right leg over her left leg and leaning slightly forward.
"My husband~"
"Is it true? Is my best guy friend Avi?"
The air inside the room quieted down a bit, a touch of vivid greenery quietly blooming outside the window, ivy even climbing all over the windows, turning the glass green.
What she said made so much sense that Bai Wei was speechless for a moment.
My best guy friend is actually me? I am the brave one. Everything is fine now.
"So, I had to elope, don’t you think you should explain it to me?" Xue Hanlei pointed at a picture of a beautiful woman in the cabinet.
"Explain what?" Bai Wei said calmly, "You just need to know that it’s absolutely safe here."
Xue Hanlei persisted and threw out that soul-searching question.
"Who is she?"
And the question she really wanted to ask was – is she the one you hold most dear in your heart?
…
"Ah-choo!"
At the dining table, Sasha sneezed.
"Do you have a cold?" Alena asked.
Blood Noble nodded confidently, "It seems like someone is talking behind my back…"
"Bad things?"
"Doesn’t seem like bad things." Sasha swirled her drink, sounding puzzled. I don’t know why, but my mood is strangely uplifted, so odd.
