Aaron shouted at the top of his lungs: Run!!! Get Gui Gui and flee!

Wu Xiong and Hebe looked at each other as they registered the message that Aaron had just sent them. They hesitated for a moment before Aaron called out to them once more.

Aaron: Now!

The chaotic situation had made it difficult to think and act. Enemy vampires were everywhere and what seemed worse was the fact that Aaron, George, Xiu, Wu Xiong and Hebe were outnumbered.

The help that Xiu had mentioned did not come and they had to fight alone. Xiu wondered if he had made a mistake in asking for help from Han.

Knowing that Aaron was right about fleeing the scene in order to protect Gui Gui, Wu Xiong and Hebe ran upstairs to Gui Gui, whom Rainie was taking care of.

Rainie: What happened?

Hebe: Didn’t you see this in your prediction? We are outnumbered!

Rainie: I couldn’t. Ella seemed to have placed a bounded spell and I couldn’t read into the near future so long as she is around.

Wu Xiong: All right, let’s get Gui Gui out of here.

Hebe and Rainie nodded and they helped the unconscious Gui Gui up.

----Downstairs in the hall---

The situation worsened with the loss of help from Wu Xiong and Hebe. Aaron, George and Xiu seemed to have a hard time handling all the vampires.

Aaron was battling Ella while George and Xiu were each handling a dozen vampires at the same moment.

Aaron: You improved.

Ella: So did you, Aaron Yan.

Aaron: So where’s your ally, Wu Zun?

Ella: You see, Aaron, unlike you, I learn from my mistake. That is, never to ask for partnership.

Aaron smirked as he strikes ruthlessly at Ella, who did not manage to escape from Aaron’s attack. Wounded on the right hand, Ella retreated a few steps from Aaron, trying to distract him with some talking.

Ella: Well, I guess this fight won’t last any longer.

Aaron: Because you guys are dying out?

Ella: No, because I would be getting what I want soon enough.

At the instance of the statement, Aaron thought of Gui Gui immediately. He attempted to rush upstairs but was hindered by Ella.

Ella: *pointing her daggers at him* We have yet to finish our fight.

With that, Ella threw three daggers towards Aaron but they all missed him.

Aaron: Then let’s end this quick!

Aaron wielded his sword skillfully and forcefully, with each move pushing Ella towards the edge of fear. Ella was unable to fend off the successive attacks from Aaron but she persisted.

Ella threw herself into a corner and she took out another three daggers, aiming at Aaron. However, she did not throw them towards him. Instead, she aimed it at George and Xiu, who were busy battling, not noticing the threat of Ella.

Aaron, realizing that George and Xiu would be wounded if this continues, jumped into the direction of the daggers, trying to fend them off for his teammates.

Aaron was successful in doing it for the George and Xiu but he did not expect the third dagger to fly in his direction so quickly.

Within another instant, Aaron was wounded in his arm by Ella’s flying dagger.

Ella gave a sinister laugh and she rushed upstairs.

Aaron: *retrieve the dagger from his arm* George, Xiu! She’s going to get Gui Gui!

Xiu: Aaron! You all right?! *Aaron nodded* We will take care of everything here, you go get Gui Gui!

With that, Aaron rushed upstairs without further hesitation.

----Upstairs----

Wu Xiong pierced her knife through the vampire’s heart and within a second, it disintegrated into vapor. She then hurried towards Gui Gui and Rainie, trying to continue the path of escape.

However, Hebe was caught up with a few other vampires.

Hebe: Wu Xiong, just go! I will take care of them!

Obeying the logical instructions, Wu Xiong hurried out of the room with Rainie while piggybacking Gui Gui.

However, things were not as smooth as it is. Standing at the doorway was Ella, wearing a smirk on her face that Wu Xiong had once sworn to tear that away.

Wu Xiong: Rainie, hold on to Gui Gui. I guess I would need to fight her first.

Ella: Fight me?! I don’t think you are at that level yet. Well, if you have a wish to end your vampire path, I could give you a hand.

With that, Ella dashed towards Wu Xiong unexpectedly with the speed of lightning and this appeared to have caught Wu Xiong off her guard.

Wu Xiong was thrown across the hallway by Ella, who was still bent on killing Wu Xiong. Just when Ella was about to stab Wu Xiong with her dagger, Ella was suddenly strangled by what seemed to be a long chain of metal pieces that came through the window which was located at the end of the hallway where Ella and Wu Xiong were battling.

With that, Ella was thrown off Wu Xiong and she knocked herself into the wall before collapsing onto the floor.

Wu Xiong got up and was surprised to see her savior- Han.

Han jumped through the window smartly and she turned her attention to Wu Xiong.

Han gave a small nod at Wu Xiong: Are you all right?

Wu Xiong: I’m…fine. Thank you

Just then, Aaron got upstairs and he readily picked Gui Gui up and led Rainie towards Wu Xiong and Han.

Aaron: Han…Xiu’s downstairs.

Han nodded before rushing downstairs. Just then, Hebe came out of Gui Gui’s room with a triumph smile on her face. It seemed like she had really taken care of the vampires.

Aaron: Let’s go!

With that, Aaron jumped through the window while carrying Gui Gui in his hands. Although his landing was painful, he managed to tide through it.

Following Aaron, Wu Xiong, Hebe and Rainie jumped out of the window.

Aaron: Let’s go!

Just when Aaron was about to pick Gui Gui up again, he suddenly felt a sharp jab of pain in his arm. It was the wound caused by Ella.

Aaron knelt down suddenly and he loosened his grip on Gui Gui, who landed onto the grass softly.

Hebe: Aaron!

Wu Xiong: What happened?!

Aaron: The dagger, there must be poison.

Wu Xiong: Poison?! What poison is that?!

Rainie: Let me take a look.

The wound had miraculously formed the shape of a canine and blood trickled down the arm of Aaron. The wound did not seem to heal.

Aaron: What poison is that?

Rainie: It’s….Ella….she made this poison and she would give to the vampire assassins before sending them out for missions.

Wu Xiong: That’s….that’s the poison which would disintegrate the assassins after a period of time?!

Rainie: *Frowned* I’m not sure but it seemed to be that….

Hebe: What should we do now?!

Rainie: It would cause some pain but the effect won’t take place for another three days.

Aaron: If that’s the case, don’t worry about me. Let’s get Gui Gui out of here.

Just before Aaron was able to carry Gui Gui again, Ella jumped from the window and landed right in front of them.

Aaron: Do you think you can stop us now?

Ella: Aaron Yan, you already know you have been poisoned by me. Gui Gui or yourself, you choice. Antidote for your wound and I get Gui Gui.

Aaron: No way!

Ella: Well, even if you don’t agree, I guess Gui Gui’s still mine. *laughs*

Aaron: What do you mean?

Ella: Look at her.

To Aaron’s surprise, Gui Gui was regaining consciousness but she was not the usual her. Gui Gui rolled on the floor, groaning in pain.

Wu Xiong: *grabbed Gui Gui* Gui Gui!!!

However, Gui Gui pushed Wu Xiong away and she stood up slowly.

Aaron walked towards her and looked at Gui Gui.

Gui Gui smiled and what shocked the rest was the fact that two sharp canines was visible upon her smile…
