Chapter 2742: To Work, Not to Party
Her face would be half-concealed, tempting whoever laid eyes on it.
After paying for them, Ning Shu took the clothes she purchased and went back.
Mina had already come back after shopping all day. There were two dresses on her bed. When she saw Ning Shu, she quickly pulled her over and asked, “Molly, which one do you think I should wear? I couldn’t make up my mind, so I just bought both of them.”
Ning Shu looked at the two sets of clothes on the bed. One was a strapless dress with an open back. The other was a pink-laced, puffy dress with a strong girlish style.
Mina couldn’t decide whether she wanted to go the sexy route or the cute route.
“I don’t know either. Depends on which style you like,” Ning Shu simply said.
“Clothes are worn for other people to see. How can I decide based on my taste?” Mina swung Ning Shu’s arm. “Help me decide please~”
“Mina, we’re going to the masquerade to work, not to party. You should be focusing on the convenience of the outfit,” Ning Shu couldn’t help but remind her.
“You’re pretty young, but why do you act like those old and old-fashioned blood hunters? You’re so boring.” Mina carried her two dresses and walked out.
“Where are you going?” Ning Shu asked. “We have to go to the masquerade soon.”
Ning Shu looked at her watch. They had less than two hours before the masquerade began.
“I’m going to the salon. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make it in time.” With that said, Mina left with her dresses in her arms.
Ning Shu: …
She must really think that she was going to a party. She even called Ning Shu ‘old-fashioned’. Countless blood hunters died under the claws of the vampires every year, with their blood sucked dry to the very last drop.
Not everyone had her luck, to not encounter such a terrible thing.
Ning Shu put on her dress. She brushed her short hair, which only reached her ears, then put on her mask. She took a look in the mirror.
She looked fine.
Ning Shu lifted up her skirt. She took the garlic water, holy water, cross, and gun from the suitcase and attached them to her legs with tape.
Since she was going to a masquerade ball, she would definitely not be allowed to bring that suitcase in.
Plus, when she went in, she might be searched too.
After Ning Shu finished preparing everything, she lifted her wrist and glanced at her watch. All that was left was to wait for Mina to come back, then go to the masquerade with her.
Ning Shu cultivated as she waited for Mina. From time to time, she raised her wrist and looked at the time.
Mina was seriously unreliable.
When there was barely any time left, Ning Shu was about to call Mina when Mina finally came back.
She was wearing her girlish dress. Her soft hair was slightly curled. Although she hadn’t gotten her makeup done, her lips were pink.
At first glance, she looked like a young, lively child.
She was very beautiful.
“Why are you only here now? Get ready. We’re leaving,” Ning Shu said.
Mina nodded and put on her mask.
Ning Shu: …
“Aren’t you going to prepare? Or even bring a weapon?” If she didn’t bring anything, what would she do if she encountered a vampire? Who knew if Perry would be the only vampire at the banquet, or if there’d be a flock of them?
Perry might never hurt Mina, but that didn’t mean other vampires wouldn’t.
Mina had been a crappy blood hunter since she was a child and had never shown any improvement.
Who knew if she ever even tried at all.
“I can’t. I have no space for those things,” Mina said.
“Tie them to your legs. What if you run into danger?” Ning Shu said. They were partners, and their performance would be evaluated as one.
Anyone forced to become a partner with Mina shouldn’t bother asking about how strong she was. It’d already be great if she didn’t drag them down.
A blood hunter’s performance was directly linked to their wages and benefits. It was even more impactful to their status within the organization.
Only the strong would be respected. The more vampires they eliminated, the higher their status would be. A blood hunter’s status was earned through hard work and effort.
