BXBX NOVEL Chapter 152: What Are You Barking At
Chapter 152
Soon, they saw a girl stumbling and running towards them.
Behind her was a vampire.
The vampire seemed to be toying with its prey, not flying through the air but walking leisurely behind her, with a mocking smile on its face.
"Damn, I hate show-offs!" Bai Shuwen cursed.
"You mean you hate show-off vampires," Gu Wanyin corrected.
She waved at the girl, saying, "Quick, come here! Come to us!"
The girl, in her panic, saw that they appeared to be humans and there were quite a few of them. Without thinking, she rushed over, scrambled onto the carriage on all fours, and fell right into Bai Shuwen\'s arms.
The vampire stopped leisurely in front of their carriage, not far from them.
"So many humans..." A greedy light flashed in his eyes. "I\'ll capture you all and present you to Lord Julius!"
Gu Wanyin: "What are you yapping about?"
The vampire: "?"
Before the vampire could react, the Merciless Iron Hands appeared again, and this time it could extend, delivering a direct punch that sent the vampire flying.
Everyone: "Awesome!"
The carriage continued for a while longer and encountered a middle-aged couple hiding in a hole in the ground.
Having completed the task of finding five hotel guests, and with the carriage nearly full, Gu Wanyin began heading back.
On the return journey, they came across two more humans.
Gu Wanyin thought that since the hotel had so many rooms, it would be good to accommodate two more guests, so she let them squeeze into the carriage to return to the hotel together.
The return journey was smooth, with no vampire encounters.
However, the people in the carriage were in low spirits.
The wife of the middle-aged couple even began sobbing quietly.
When asked, they learned that her younger sister had been taken by a vampire a few days ago and was still missing.
Someone wanted to comfort her but didn\'t know what to say.
Though they said "missing," what good fate could await humans captured by vampires...
The others also had relatives who had died at the hands of vampires.
A gloomy atmosphere enveloped the carriage.
Seeing this, Bai Shuwen quickly said with a smile, "Everyone, we\'re almost at our castle. The castle has many rooms and food. You can exchange Blood Element Pearls or gold and silver jewelry for points to check in."
Her words successfully diverted several people\'s attention.
They began asking questions all at once.
"Really? What kind of food is there?"
"How many people can stay in one room?"
"Is it safe? What if vampires find us?"
"Isn\'t a castle too obvious a target? Vampires will surely discover it!"
Gu Wanyin smiled and said, "Don\'t worry, everyone. My castle is absolutely safe."
The first few people who had boarded the carriage had witnessed the Merciless Iron Hands sending vampires flying.
So when they heard Gu Wanyin\'s words, they found them quite credible.
But those who boarded later hadn\'t witnessed this.
So they remained very doubtful, believing that such a place couldn\'t possibly exist.
Even the strongest cities had fallen to vampire attacks.
How could a mere castle withstand vampires?
Nevertheless, when the carriage stopped at the castle gates, they couldn\'t help but gape in amazement.
"What a huge castle!"
"Is this even bigger than where the king lives?"
"I don\'t know, I\'ve never seen the king\'s castle."
"Look, there\'s even a sign! Peace Hotel... what does \'hotel\' mean?"
Knowing that the concept of "hotel" probably didn\'t exist in this era, Gu Wanyin explained, "You can think of it as an inn."
"Oh, I see."
"Everyone, please follow me inside."
After Gu Wanyin spoke, she led the way into the castle.
Those who had witnessed the Merciless Iron Hands followed her without hesitation.
However, the remaining few hesitated.
The castle was indeed huge and looked tempting, but...
"How could someone build such a large castle in times like these? How did she manage it?"
"Could this... could this be vampire territory?"
"Are there vampires waiting for us inside?"
With these thoughts, several people were ready to leave.
Bai Shuwen, who hadn\'t gone in yet, quickly said, "Dear guests, don\'t misunderstand. This castle was given to our boss by the gods. We\'re humans too, how could we have any connection with vampires?"
Being beautiful and knowing how to appear approachable, she made these people hesitate about leaving.
Meanwhile, in the castle\'s great hall, Gu Wanyin was preparing to check in the guests who had followed her inside.
Of the seven guests who had returned in the carriage, three had followed her in: the siblings from earlier and the girl who came later.
The siblings\' surname was Olton; the brother was named Bruno and the sister Joshua.
The other girl was Janet Ferguson.
As soon as they entered, they couldn\'t stop marveling at the castle\'s great hall.
"Brother, I\'ve never seen such a spacious and luxurious castle!"
"Neither have I..."
"There will be plenty of time to explore the castle later. Let\'s check in first, or you won\'t be able to stay here," Gu Wanyin said gently.
"How do we do that?" Janet asked timidly.
Gu Wanyin went behind the front desk and took out a small box.
She had felt the hotel\'s previous machinery was too modern for this era, so she had the system modify it into this wooden box.
"What do you have with you? Blood Element Pearls, gold and silver jewelry can all be exchanged for points, but before checking in, please review the hotel rules first."
She pointed to a sign hanging nearby.
The rules were similar to those of the previous hotel.
Aliali: 67358286d72ede9349450622After reading them, all three nodded to show they understood.
"Also, the hotel has single rooms, double rooms, family rooms, king-size rooms, and presidential suites. Which type would you like? Single rooms are for single occupancy only."
All three indicated they would each take a single room.
Bruno was the first to take out a pen.
"This pen is made of pure gold," Bruno said sadly. "It was a birthday gift from my father, so I\'ve always kept it close, carried it with me..."
"Place it in the box," Gu Wanyin said.
Bruno put the pen in the box, and after a moment, Gu Wanyin opened it.
The pen had vanished, replaced by a wooden room key.
"How magical!" Bruno exclaimed. "Beautiful lady, you must be a witch, aren\'t you?"
"Not exactly..." Gu Wanyin said with an amused smile as she picked up the room key and handed it to him. "This is your room key."
