In The Name Of Fang

After coming out of the collection room, Uncle Si said that they would not be staying for lunch, and told them to take care of themselves, and then left without looking back.

Xia Yuzhou smacked his lips: "Does uncle think we are annoying?"

Si Jun pursed his lips and smiled, and pulled him away from the main house to eat in front.

The Si family has a lot of rules, and what to eat for each meal is planned, basically all Western food, Xia Yuzhou doesn't like it.There are several restaurants in the hotel where humans live in front, all of which taste very good, and they discussed for a long time whether to go to the front to eat.

"Yo Yo Yo, I finally remembered our three uncles and nephews." Zhou Shu sternly condemned this unscrupulous couple, who only cared about playing by themselves and left all the children to him.

"Hey, Zhou Xiaoshu, you took the initiative to take care of the children before you came here." Xia Yuzhou is not a fool, don't think he doesn't know, these three huskies played wildly all night yesterday, without his strict father present, let alone how comfortable they are .

"This is delicious, Dad, you can eat it." Xie Yinyin smoothed things over and picked up a shrimp for Xia Yuzhou.

"Good boy." Xia Yuzhou immediately smiled, poked Sijun with his elbow, and winked to show that he had a caring little padded jacket.

Si Jun peeled the shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent him from saying "it's better to be a daughter" that would hurt his son: "Think twice before saying something, huh?"

Xia Yuzhou ate the shrimp, thinking he understood: "Okay, you are good too."

Si Jun: "..."

Zhou Shu was so tired of these two people that his teeth ached, he picked up a shrimp for his eldest nephew, and put the menu card in front of him to manually type codes to protect minors: "It's not suitable for children, don't look at them."

The son threw the prawns in their shells into his mouth, chewing them loudly.

Zhou Shu: "Why don't you peel the shell?"

Son: "Minors can't watch naked shrimp."

Xia Yuzhou looked at the two fools speechlessly: "The family is unlucky, Yinyin, our family depends on you..."

Before I finished speaking, I saw my daughter also throw an unpeeled shrimp into her mouth: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo , people who don't have boyfriends don't deserve to eat shellless shrimp, they only deserve to shed tears for someone else's love."

"..."

After a meal, Zhou Shu finally started to talk about the serious business after eating and drinking enough.

"Going back today?" Xia Yuzhou was a little surprised, the full moon dance was held only the day after tomorrow, and the three of them originally planned to leave tomorrow.

"Well, something happened." Zhou Shu stroked the red hair on his head, "My mother is acting like a monster again, so I have to go back and deal with it."

Xia Yuzhou frowned: "What happened to her?"

Zhou Shu's biological parents abandoned him in the hospital when he was seriously ill.Later, he was rescued by Xia's father, and he went to look for him after he regained his health, but the family had already moved away, and there was no news of him.Zhou Shu also regarded them as dead and grew up happily with the Xia family. .

However, when he became an adult and became famous for playing e-sports, his mother came to him again, explaining that his life was difficult now, and asked Zhou Shu to give her money.

With Zhou Shu's violent temper, he will definitely not get used to her and drive people away directly.When he was harassed from time to time, he would give her all the living expenses when he was a child, and never gave her a penny after that.

"Her youngest son is useless. He embezzled the company's money to gamble and lost everything. If he doesn't pay the money, he will be arrested and put in jail." Zhou Shu said with disgust.This time the woman went crazy and threatened him directly that if he didn't pay him, she would post the fact that he didn't support his parents on the Internet.

Zhou Shu didn't plan to talk to him at first, but he didn't expect the family to record a video when they asked him for money.He has a bad temper, speaks aggressively, and even threw things. These video clips are posted online, and netizens who don't know why will definitely attack him first.Because of Yinyin's matter, he was on the cusp of the storm. If he made trouble again, he might really be expelled from the club.

Xia Yuzhou frowned when he heard this: "Then you should be careful, and remember to record a video when negotiating with them."

"Uncle, I'll go with you. I know a professional marketing company and ask them to prepare a plan." Xie Yinyin volunteered to solve the problem with her uncle.

Zhou Shu was so moved that tears streamed down his face. He touched his niece's head and said, "Good boy! Uncle loves you!"

Chen Mo swallowed the dessert in his mouth, and took a sip of water: "Uncle, since you are a vampire transformed by your grandfather, one of your parents should be a vampire. You can take this secret and counter-threat to go back." .”

When these words came out, everyone was taken aback.

Zhou Shu frowned and thought about it carefully: "Those two people don't look alike."

Si Jun opened the management interface of the blood alliance app with the authority of the lord: "What are their names?"

Zhou Shu: "Zhou Jianguo, Zhao Huizhen."

Si Jun typed it in and checked it separately: "It's not a blood race."

At least, not the registered western species.

"Then that father is probably not my real father," Zhou Shu said indifferently, "every time Zhou Jianguo spoke, he stood far away, as if it had nothing to do with him. Zhao Huizhen seemed to be taking it for granted, and she probably gave Zhou Jianguo a cuckold. ... Tsk, this is also a handle."

Xia Yuzhou: "...you are really talented."

Zhou Shu said triumphantly: "That is! However, this is an even more important trip, I need to know who my real father is." It is probably a romantic debt left by some meat-eating blood family. Gotta get a solid beating.

As soon as he said he would leave, Zhou Shu was so irritable, he went back to pack his luggage after dinner, and took the two children to the car in a hurry.

Before leaving, Chen Mo stuffed Xia Yuzhou with a miniature video recorder, which can be so small that it can be pinned on the collar: "Dad, you remember to record the whole process of the full moon dance, so that we can learn the customs of the blood race. When the next dance is held, It will be ready."

Xia Yuzhou felt that it made sense. With his current memory, he definitely couldn't remember it completely. It's better to record it, so he readily agreed.

The next day, all the guests in the front B&B were emptied and the hotel door was closed.Alger led a group of people to search every corner of the hotel to make sure that there were no humans staying behind secretly.

Then, he opened the gate of the backyard to welcome the blood nobles who came one after another.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Full Moon Ball, Xia Yuzhou got up early and got dressed.

"What dress did you prepare?" Si Jun saw Xia Yuzhou dragging out a suit box with great interest, and silently put the dress he had prepared into the cabinet, and asked him with a smile.

"Hey hey hey, it will definitely blind everyone's dog's eyes!" Xia Yuzhou pulled out the dress and shook it in the air, "Qing, qiang, qiang!"

Si Jun: "This is... a dress?"

It was a long black cloak, the outside of which was embroidered with intricate patterns with golden silk threads.Inside is a bright red lining and an exaggerated stand-up collar.The traditional vampire count dress, wearing this cloak, he is the most beautiful cub in the audience.

"How about it, handsome!" Xia Yuzhou put on his cloak, stepped on the coffee table, and greasyly lifted his bangs.

"Very handsome, but my dear..." Si Jun pulled him to the corridor outside, and looked at the situation in the hall on the first floor through the railing. Some people who came earlier were already drinking tea and chatting in the hall, "We are not in makeup What about the dance?"

The people on the first floor were all dressed in modern dresses.The men wear suits and the women wear long skirts. The colors are different depending on the family, but generally speaking, there is nothing too out of the ordinary, and they are all regular and normal dresses.

Xia Yuzhou was stunned for a while: "Then what should I do? Do you have a suit that is smaller, lend me to wear it."

The Western species is really boring. Shouldn't people wear traditional costumes for a traditional party like the Full Moon Ball?If he is allowed to hold it, he will definitely require everyone to wear wide-sleeved robes.

Without saying a word, Si Jun helped him take off the large cape with a stand-up collar, and took out two suits from the closet.The two sets of clothes are exactly the same in style and cut, but the colors are different.The larger set is black and the smaller set is blue.

"Are you ready?" Xia Yuzhou was overwhelmed with surprise, hugging Si Jun and kissing him fiercely.

Si Jun didn't move, and said reservedly: "I was afraid that you would forget, so I made a spare set. Your family didn't set a family color. I saw that you often wear blue, so I decided on my own. I don't know if you like it or not. "

"I like it, I like it so much!" Xia Yuzhou put it on happily, "This is a couple outfit!"

Si Jun put on his suit with red ears and asked Ron to take a photo for them.

"It looks like a wedding photo," Ron said with a smile, "I'll wash it out and put it on the young master's bedside tomorrow."

Si Jun looked down, and replied softly "Yes".

The ball was held in the banquet hall of the main house. The magnificent door of the banquet hall was five meters high.

Alger acted as the captain of the security and led the other knights to line up in front of the gate.He is wearing a retro knight outfit today, with a decorative saber on his waist. He is tall and handsome with blond hair and blue eyes. Xia Yuzhou seems to have seen the Marquis of Ma'anshan who first arrived in the Central Plains thousands of years ago.

"Alger is a bit like your ancestor." Xia Yuzhou whispered.

Si Jun shook his head helplessly: "It sounds like you are scolding me."

"Is there? Your ancestor? Hahahaha..." Xia Yuzhou carried him with his elbow, "You answer the conversation really fast now, if we let everyone perform their talents later, let's go up and talk about cross talk, okay?"

Si Jun ignored him, bent his arms for him to hold, and walked into the banquet hall together.

It was quite different from the expected scene of toasting and drinking. There was no one in the banquet hall, and there was a wooden staircase leading directly to the ceiling when entering the door.That's right, right up to the ceiling.

The ceiling is flat and unadorned, and the furniture is firmly fixed to it: sofas, chairs, tables, and the floor is a huge mirror.

"Please be careful of the steps and your steps." Ron greeted the guests inside the door, standing on a small carpet with a smile on his face.The silver lyre logo has been drawn with blood on the mirror, and if the blood race comes into direct contact, it will fall off.

Xia Yuzhou held Si Jun's hand tightly and stepped onto the mirror with him.

The scene in front of him was instantly reversed, the ceiling became the ground, and the ground became the ceiling.The wooden stairs happen to go straight down, and the furniture fixed on the ceiling outside, reflected in the mirror world, is just a usable positive item.

"This design is really wonderful." Xia Yuzhou sighed, holding a banquet in the mirror world is not afraid of human beings entering by mistake, and it is also very bloody.

Si Nian, the patriarch of the Hanshan family, who was dressed grandly, had already taken the throne.He held a gentleman's cane carved with a silver harp in his hand, surrounded by Si family members.

"Uncle." Xia Yuzhou went over to greet him.

Si Nian nodded, seeing that the Si family was basically all there, he lightly tapped his cane to the ground.

The silver moonlight rippled from the end of the cane like water ripples, expanding circle by circle, gradually expanding to the entire banquet hall.A silver crescent moon rises from the dome, covering the entire room in hazy moonlight.

The powerful ones in the blood family can bring changes with family characteristics to the mirror after entering the mirror world.This scene was not uncommon in Xia Yuzhou before, so he didn't make a fuss, but he was surprised when other families came in one after another.

Bai Shu came in with a few juniors, and the monotonous and smooth walls were quickly covered with double-petaled white roses;

The Di family pushed the head of the family in a wheelchair, and the plain floor suddenly turned into desert yellow sand, which was a little soft to step on;

The He family brothers came with their beautiful mother, and there were beautiful red roses emerging from the long yellow sand, like a golden carpet woven with red patterns, and suddenly it was not so desolate;

In the end, Gu Ji, who was alone, hung upside down, and a group of black bats huffed and turned into a dynamic decoration around the silver moon after three circles, flying up and shuttling from time to time.

"Finally, there's a blood party atmosphere," Xia Yuzhou's mouth twitched, pointing at the wrapped Gu Ji, "You still said it's not a masquerade party, what is that?"

Gu Ji was wearing a very retro long tail jacket, tightly wrapped with a long cape with a stand collar, and mysteriously went to say hello to the head of the Si family.

Si Jun: "... His family's home clothes are tuxedos. As for the cape, it should be added by Gu Ji himself."

"Master, I'm hanging on the ceiling, call me if you need it." After Gu Ji said hello, he ran over.The Gu family maintained the primitive bat habits and never liked to socialize. The Patriarch appointed Gu Ji to come over, but no one else was sent.

"Ah? What ceiling?" Before Xia Yuzhou had time to ask, he watched Gu Jiping take off and hang upside down on the ceiling, "I'll go, hang up, you?"

Si Jun: "This is the ability of the Gu family. You can fly in the mirror world."

Xia Yuzhou looked up at the guy hanging upside down: "What's the matter with your cloak?"

It's okay for people to defy gravity, but the cloak also defies gravity, and it didn't fall off, and it stuck to Gu Ji's body obediently.

"This is my new self-closing artifact." Because it was the master who asked, Gu Ji answered every question, and showed his artifact along the way.Opening his hands and closing them again, the cloak was like bat's wings, enveloping him completely without revealing a single gap, even the shiny diamond lip studs could not be seen.

Xia Yuzhou gave a thumbs up.

Although the Full Moon Ball is a family gathering, the heads of each family are usually reluctant to leave the territory, and usually send their heirs.Only the head of the Di family came here in person, because now the power has been handed over to the acting head of the house—Di Hua, an otaku who is obsessed with coding.

Patriarch Di was an old man, sitting in a wheelchair with a gloomy face, and there were two tall knights standing beside him, looking very difficult to mess with.

"Why is he staring at you all the time?" Xia Yuzhou asked Si Jun in a low voice.

Si Jun glanced at Patriarch Di, held the champagne in his hand and raised his glass from a distance: "Because I caused him to be in a wheelchair."

Xia Yuzhou: "...Oh, you should stare."

The territory of Yanjing was snatched by Si Jun from the old man.At that time, Si Jun was seriously injured and lay in bed for three full months.As for the old man who lost the duel, it is conceivable that he was injured more seriously, and he still has to use a wheelchair.

The ball started, and Si Nian, as the host, said a few words.The general meaning is that this is a rare gathering, and I hope everyone can communicate well and increase mutual feelings.As a special ethnicity that struggles to survive in the human world, blood races should help each other and treat each other as family members.

Xia Yuzhou lost his mind when he heard it. Anyway, there was a small camera on his chest to help him take notes, so he let himself be distracted and watched the blood clans present one by one.

In addition to the nobles of various families, some people also brought knights.The Bai family are all green shirts, with white roses embroidered on the chest, standing by the wall and almost blending into the flower-filled wall; the Di family are all high-profile golden yellow Tang suits, at first glance one might think they are wearing dragon clothes. Robe, with the expression of the old man blowing his beard and staring, he looks like a gangster in Chinatown;

The He family wore all kinds of burgundy dresses, tailored to fit, making sure to highlight everyone's good figure.

The Si family members were all in silver shirts and black suits. The junior he knew well, Si Hengheng, stood with the other juniors, each holding a musical instrument, acting as a band to play music for the banquet.Seeing him look over, waved to him slightly to say hello.

After looking around, he didn't see anyone suspicious, Xia Yuzhou sighed, and Si Jun turned his head to look at him.

Xia Yuzhou leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I don't see who is the bad guy, you have to protect me."

Si Jun's ears turned red from his breath, and he quietly squeezed his hand tightly.

Uncle Si finished his speech and announced the beginning of the ball.Si Hengheng's juniors sat down and started playing. The smooth dance music lit up the moon on the dome, and dyed the flying bats with a romantic silver light.

The Full Moon Ball is actually a traditional blind date meeting of the blood clan.Although it is not opposed to combining with humans, it still encourages vampires to be together with vampires, especially nobles.The purer the bloodline of the marriage partner, the greater the probability that the child will have powerful abilities.As soon as the music started, young men and women couldn't wait to find their favorite dance partners and walk onto the dance floor together.

A glamorous woman in a slim red dress came towards them with champagne in one hand.She looked to be in her early thirties, and the expensive dress was sprinkled with shiny diamonds, which made her even more radiant, and she spoke tenderly: "I heard that you have a fiancé, I'm so sad."

The light-white fingers painted with bright red nail polish poked Si Jun's shoulder, and then looked at Xia Yuzhou with scrutinizing eyes.

Xia Yuzhou was furious when he heard that.

Si Jun said lightly, "Auntie was joking."

"Auntie?" Xia Yuzhou was taken aback, why did this person speak so viciously all of a sudden.

"People don't even look down on me, can they look down on you at such an age?" The girl in the little red dress taunted in a sharp voice.

The woman gritted her teeth and turned her head: "Which family's little bitch? How do you talk to the elders?"

"Let me introduce you," He Yu in a suit and leather shoes came over, stood beside Xia Yuzhou, and said softly, "The little bitch you are talking about is your youngest son, He Qing. I am your second son, He Yu."

This woman is the mother of the three He family brothers, Miss He family.The current head of the Nanguo clan is her father.

Mother He is a flirtatious and fun-loving woman who doesn't stay at home all day. Her three sons are left to the family to raise, and they don't see each other once a year.When He Yu said it so bluntly, he suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and pointed at his youngest son who was disguised as a woman: "Did I emphasize yesterday that I told you to wear men's clothes, and you dressed like this again, it's embarrassing!"

After all, he walked away without looking back, and went to chat with others.

As soon as He's mother left here, a playboy posted up, holding a lock of Nurse He's long hair: "Oh, this beautiful girl, can I invite you to dance?"

He Qing rolled his eyes and turned his head, switched to a youthful voice and said roughly: "Brother, are you sure?"

The person who came here was the eldest of the three brothers of the He family, Brother He who had inherited his mother's romantic attributes.

"Damn it!" He Da found out that it was his younger brother, his face turned livid and he vomited, "You must be sick. It's really disappointing to pretend to be a woman at the full moon dance!"

Brother He turned around and left, leaving the two brothers in embarrassment.

"I'm laughing." Professor He apologized to Xia Yuzhou as gentle and calm as always.

Young people from other families noticed the conflict here and gathered together to discuss in a low voice.

"Who is that? It's so beautiful."

"Hey, isn't it just the third child of the He family, that freak who likes to wear women's clothes, I feel sick without seeing his elder brother."

"Tsk, does he want to find a male dance partner? It's really whimsical. Those tricks are nothing more than deceiving human beings. Which blood race would like this."

He Qing hung his head listlessly, his fingers tightly clutching the hem of his skirt.A self-confident and arrogant person, it doesn't matter what others say, but he just can't stand the ridicule of his mother and elder brother.After so many years, I'm still not used to it.

As a boss, he couldn't see his employees being sad, so Xia Yuzhou pushed Sijun: "Go and dance with Nurse He."

Si Jun frowned, shook his head and refused: "I can't leave you."

"Oh, it's okay, I'll just stand here." Xia Yuzhou raised his hand to promise, and pushed Si Jun in front of He Qing.

Nurse He raised her head in a daze, and seeing Si Jun stretching out his hand to invite him to dance, her eyes lit up immediately: "Ah, is it really possible?" Happiness came too suddenly, you know, Si Jun is the most handsome in this life , The male god that no one dares to touch.

The two walked to the dance floor, and the young people who were talking ill just now shut up.Men are not as capable as Sijun, so they are not qualified to talk about him; women are envious.

He Yu looked at his younger brother who was smiling again, and whispered to Xia Yuzhou, "Thank you, can I ask you to dance?"

"Hey, come on," Xia Yuzhou waved his hands again and again, "I don't know how to do that. If you want me to show you a big sword trick, it's fine."

He Yu was amused by him.

"Mr. Xia," Argel walked over with the steps of a knight, and bowed respectfully to salute, "Patriarch, please go over here."

Xia Yuzhou turned his head and looked over. Uncle Si, who was sitting in the sofa area and chatting with Patriarch Di, seemed to sense his gaze, looked up and smiled at him.Since it was uncle who called him, then he had to go.After saying hello to He Yu, he followed Alger to the sofa area.

From where they were standing to the sofa area, the distance was only 20 meters.Alger has long legs, and he can cover a long distance with one step, so Xia Yuzhou had to hurry to keep up.

After taking two steps, Alger stopped suddenly. Xia Yuzhou almost bumped into him. He hurriedly hid to the side, but bumped into an invisible wall with a "boom", and his hair stood on end.The surrounding space was blocked by some kind of force, turning into a square well with walls on all sides, and he was the flying insect trapped in the transparent glass cover.

Alger suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and slashed at Xia Yuzhou's neck.

"Ah—" The people who saw this scene suddenly screamed, and Si Jun immediately rushed to this side.

However, it was too late, the sword wind had already touched his neck.Xia Yuzhou drew out his cuffed sword, and blocked the sharp edge with a "bang".Confined to this one-meter-square space, Xia Yuzhou couldn't fight back.Alger squeezed the saber tightly, bent his knees, and a sharp blade popped out from the knee of the knight uniform, and went straight to Xia Yuzhou's waist.

At the very moment, a black shadow flew down from the air and hit Alger directly on the head.

"Boom!" The square well shattered, the saber fell to the ground, and Argel was knocked to the ground by Gu Ji who was wrapped in a cloak, his eyes filled with disbelief.Gu Ji wrapped his little cloak tightly, and that cloak turned out to be a refined mirror weapon, extremely strong and indestructible.

Si Jun and the two brothers of the He family had already rushed over and suppressed Alger effortlessly.

Uncle Si was extremely shocked, he was stunned for a while before coming over, looked down at the great knight who had followed him for many years, and said in a hoarse voice: "Alger, it's you, why?"
