The girls started quarreling and Xia Yan found himself in an awkward position. He quickly said, “Once my friend arrives, I’ll leave, and if that vampire ever comes, I will rush over here.”
“Why don’t you stay here, too?” Anna rolled her eyes around and said in an alluring voice, “In any case, Wang Yi has gone home and we have an empty bed. You can sleep over there.”
Even though Xia Yan was aware that Anna was only teasing him, his heart still started beating wildly and he could only say, “No, thanks. That won’t be appropriate.”
“It’s really a pity, it just so happens that my back is itching and I can’t even find anyone to scratch it for me,” Anna said in an alluring voice.
Xia Yan couldn’t help but imagine some outrageous scenes and his blood started boiling.
“Anna, is teasing him so amusing?” Fortunately, An Xiaoru stood up for him and came to his aid, and Xiaoyu had also said, “Sis Anna, that’s scandalous.”
Anna observed the black-robed man, who stood there quietly with his head lowered, and a faint smile appeared on her face. [This guy is so bashful, he must be a student.]
Xia Yan stayed here restlessly for a whole hour where he was teased repeatedly by Anna during this period, while An Xiaoru and Xiaoyu offered him water and snacks and questioned him repeatedly. Moreover, these girls had also constantly tried to peek under his hood, and they would have seen his face long ago if he wasn’t endowed with quick reflexes.
In the end, Xia Yan just turned off the dorm room’s lamp in order to stay here at ease, after which he got teased a lot by Anna due to this and he ended up with a flushed face and red ears.
“Thump!” A knock on the door echoed out.
An Xiaoru quickly went to open the door, and she was surprised by the person standing outside. “A fellow student? What business do you have here so late in the night?”
The person who knocked on the door was Zhang Shufen. She tied her hair into a horsetail and didn’t put on any makeup. She was wearing camouflage pants, a pair of combat boots, and a black skin-tight vest resembling the one worn by female soldiers in movies. She was also carrying a full knapsack on her shoulder and it was unknown what she put in it.
The girl’s outfit completely illustrated the words ‘valiant and heroic’, and if she carried a rifle on her back and attached knives to her pants, then she would look like a female mercenary. This was why all of the girls in room 504 stared at her in awe.
“Beauties, I got hired to protect you,” Zhang Shufen put her hand against the door frame, raised her head, and spoke.
An Xiaoru turned her head around and looked at Xia Yan. The latter stood up and nodded at Zhang Shufen. “You finally came!”
“The black-clothed man?” Upon seeing him, Zhang Shufen’s eyes lit up and she laughed loudly. “I have come, so Mister. Beauty Guard can leave.”
“I’ll trouble you with this task,” Xia Yan nodded and walked to the balcony and jumped off it.
“This lad, tsk, tsk…” Zhang Shufen shook her head and sighed before she kicked the door behind her and closed it. She said, “Beauties, where am I gonna sleep?”
Xia Yan didn’t know Zhang Shufen’s capabilities and power, he only knew that she managed to stay in Hearthcreek Apartments’ haunted room for a long time, and only skilled individuals could achieve this feat.
In addition, the male dormitory wasn’t too far from the female dormitory located in Building 8, and if any issue arose, Xia Yan could rush over quickly upon receiving a call from Zhang Shufen. She only had to hold the vampire for a while, and Xia Yan was sure that the confident Zhang Shufen could achieve this.
After he left the building, Xia Yan went to the grove and took off the magic robe over there. His head was already dripping with sweat, and this wasn’t due to heat or the magic robe, but rather due to Anna, who teased him ceaselessly.
Xia Yan took a stroll on the campus before he went back to the dormitory, took a bath, and laid on the bed. He first ordered another black magic robe online and then bought two masks that could cover half of his face in a different online store.
Later, he just planned to sit in meditation, but he suddenly recalled Daoist Desireless’ business card, so he took it out and downloaded Weibo’s app and made an account in it. When the app asked for his real name and info, he hesitated for a moment, but he still filled up everything.
Nowadays, it wasn’t possible to hide your status online without adequate skill in this domain, and it would be better to just use his real info bluntly. In any case, he didn’t plan to divulge any secrets on the net.
After he made an account, it suggested to him a large pile of Weibo accounts, but he just ignored them and clicked on ‘pass’. He wasn’t interested in those online celebrities.
After he searched around for a while in the app and understood its ins and outs, he searched for the old daoist’s account and started following it.
“F*ck! This old daoist is an online celebrity and he has five million followers. He’s 120 years old, yet he still made his way on the net. He’s really so talented!”
Xia Yan took a look at the old daoist’s latest post and he was stunned by its content.
@Desireless Daoist: “Oh gods! Tonight, I killed a western vampire, but two managed to get away. Fellow daoists from Chengdu City, you should be more careful upon venturing out.”
The old daoist still uploaded his pic and attached it to the post. He was ridiculously handsome!
Xia Yan could only express his admiration. [He has published this affair, but obviously, none will believe it.]
Even though this post got published at night, it still got shared a hundred thousand times.
@Pure Wind Daoist: “Desireless Daoist has executed a demon and made another contribution!”
@Bright Moon Daoist: “Desireless Daoist is so mighty and formidable, since Western zombies dared to visit Chengdu and run amok in it, they will all get buried here.”
Xia Yan suspected that those accounts belonged to Desireless’s disciples. They were both fawning over him and singing his praises.
@Wei Xia: “Daoist bro, my husband isn’t at home tonight. What will happen to me if vampires come after me? Please protect me!”
@Miss Feng: “Daoist bro, are vampires as handsome as you?”
@Lil Li: “Daoist bro, please protect me! please bless us!”
@Fu Rong: “Daoist bro…”
…
Xia Yan was stunned by this sight. Many lonely elderly and middle-aged married womens’ accounts were commenting on the post, and they all addressed the daoist as ‘Daoist Bro’. They were either asking for his protection, his blessings, or flirting with him, and Xia Yan was astounded by this sight.
This old lecher was… Popular among elderly and middle-aged women!
However, there were also many people in the comments cursing him, but the old daoist didn’t even have to deal with them, as a group of married women assaulted them and cursed them back viciously.
Xia Yan had also shared the post conveniently and sent a private message to the old daoist. “Daoist priest, you are so amazing!”
When Xia Yan was about to close Weibo, he received a private message, and upon opening it, he found out that it had just a common skeleton head emoji.
“F*ck! This old daoist surely has investigated me and knows my real identity,” Xia Yan got shaken up. He had created this account with his real name and the skeleton head emoji sent to him by the daoist represented the skeleton soldier.
[Why is it so difficult to hide my identity?]
Xia Yan shut off his phone out of frustration, but he immediately turned it on. Room 504’s people might give him a call at any moment to ask for his help, and he must keep his phone open all day long.
Thereafter; Xia Yan meditated for three hours before he stopped. He couldn’t sleep at all, and as he listened to Zhao Qiang and Qin Jiang’s steady breathing, he suddenly envied people who could sleep.
But his envy lasted no more than a moment. He was the one and only necromancer in existence, and it was other people who should envy him.
Xia Yan lamented for a while before he took out an ebony skeleton head and started crafting the fourth Horcrux, the Bone Horcrux.
