Chapter 2741: A Masquerade Ball
Mina was a little upset. “We finally have a chance to go out, so don’t be frowning all the time like those old-fashioned blood hunters.
“Let’s go get our dresses. I’ve never attended a masquerade ball before. I heard that everyone will be wearing a mask, and no one will know who we are,” Mina changed the subject.
Ning Shu indifferently hummed. “You go ahead. I still have something to do.”
Mina was a little disappointed, but only said, “Okay.”
Mina packed up her things, washed up, and left the motel.
As soon as Mina left, Ning Shu sat cross-legged on the bed and started cultivating again. Even if this was just last-minute preparations, it was better than nothing.
That way, at least she’d have slightly more of a chance against Perry when the time came.
It was inevitable that Perry and Mina would fall in love.
Mina would also definitely end up becoming a vampire.
Truth be told, Mina’s heart had always been yearning for this noble, mysterious, and dangerous species.
Her body might be in the human camp, but her heart was far on the other side.
Then, after the blood hunter order sentenced her to death, she no longer felt any remaining ties to this side.
By noon, Mina had yet to come back. Instead, she sent Ning Shu a message, telling Ning Shu that she was still shopping and asked Ning Shu to eat by herself.
Ning Shu didn’t care. She pulled out a suitcase from under the bed. Inside the suitcase were some vampire-killing tools: a cross, garlic water, and holy water.
The holy water was given to them by the blood hunter order.
Ning Shu smelled the holy water, but couldn’t figure out what exactly it was. It had no smell but was full of yang energy.
Vampires were creatures of yin energy. Weaker vampires could be directly reduced to ashes by the sun.
Only powerful vampires were not afraid of the sun.
Vampires also had their own set of restrictions.
She would bring all of these things to the masquerade later. There, Perry would try to drink a woman’s blood and Mina would jump in to stop him.
However, she’d be the one who got her blood drunk in the end.
Ning Shu really found people like Mina annoying. She didn’t ask for Mina to be like the Virgin Mary and bless the world with her grace, but at the very least, she should look after herself and clean up after her own messes.
However, the original host always had to clean up after Mina’s messes since they were partners.
Anyway, because their performance had always been subpar, Mina and Molly didn’t have a great status in the blood hunter order.
This time, they had been tasked by their superiors to monitor the masquerade ball. They couldn’t fail this mission.
Otherwise, it’d really be hard for them to explain things in their report.
Ning Shu left the motel, got some food at a small noodle restaurant, and then went back to cultivate.
Mina still hadn’t come back. She was probably prancing about somewhere.
She was still at such a naive age.
After practicing until the afternoon, there was finally a distinct shape of spiritual energy in Ning Shu’s dantian.
Ning Shu clenched her fist. She felt that it was full of strength. Even if she couldn’t beat Perry yet, she could still throw a mean punch.
She would also be able to quickly escape Perry’s attack. This way, at least she wouldn’t end up with the fate of being torn apart like in the original storyline.
The blood hunters were just human beings, after all. They had to rely on tools to kill vampires. They were unlike the vampires, who were given all sorts of natural gifts.
The vampires could teleport, fly through the air, and they could also grow sharp fangs and nails.
The blood hunters could at least still put up a fight against the vampires. Ordinary people, however, could do no such thing.
Ning Shu went out to get her dress. She found a skirt that allowed for agile movements.
Although a skirt was nowhere close to being as convenient as pants, at least she’d be able to tie things on her legs and hide them beneath the skirt.
Ning Shu took a while to choose her dress and mask.
The mask she chose was made of rich black feathers, making it look luxurious. It covered her nose and eyes and left only the lower half of her face exposed.
