Otherworldly Gem Merchant

Yan Xiu stood in the corridor for a long time that day, until his body became a little stiff before he returned to his room, and opened his eyes until dawn.

Dewey's reaction caught him off guard. He did intend to stimulate Dewey, but he didn't expect Dewey's reaction.

Yan Xiu was so stimulated by Dewey's reaction that he couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, and he woke up the next day with a very ugly face.But no matter how ugly his face was, he never thought of going to Dewey to make him explain clearly, or having a proper talk with Dewey.His pride won't allow it.

What he said, what he promised, he will definitely do.

Yan Xiu thinks that he has no other advantages, the only advantage is that he sticks to his promises, keeps promises, never says what he can't do, and will definitely do what he says - no matter in what way.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to bow his head to Dewey.

After straightening his somewhat messy hair, Yan Xiu walked towards the restaurant with a sullen face. After he sat down under the surprised gazes of Ke Da and Na Lian, he found that Dewey was standing behind him again at some point.

Holding the fork tightly, Yan Xiu ate calmly.

Even Na Lian, who had been on Hughes' side all the time, couldn't help but cast a sympathetic look at Dewey.

The coldness of Hughes' attitude was completely beyond her imagination. As a woman, she couldn't bear to watch Dewey just follow Hughes silently.However, from the perspective of Hughes' companion, such a person who can disappear at any time is not worthy of Hughes' trust.

Therefore, Na Lian also has a big head.

She was struggling between [should I persuade Hughes] and [this has nothing to do with me, she doesn't need to get involved].

"What are you looking at?"

Hearing the cold voice, Na Lian raised her head and saw Hughes sitting on her right looking at her, which made Na Lian suddenly a little embarrassed, "No, it's nothing..."

"Poor appetite?"

"Uh..." Na Lian answered Hughes' question that sounded like "concern" against Dewey's gaze, but she was actually suffering in her heart. She really wanted to put down the fork and leave immediately, but she couldn't..."No, no Poor appetite."

Yan Xiu looked at Na Lian's expression of "I'm so miserable, can you stop asking me?", and slowly turned his eyes back to his dinner plate, and stopped talking.

He stopped talking, and both Nalian and Koda breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, they are not afraid of Dewey, but it is not worthwhile to confront Dewey for this reason.

Yan Xiu didn't intend to embarrass Na Lian and Ke Da - he didn't think it was embarrassing them at all.

After lunch happily, Yan Xiu's mood improved a bit, food can always make people feel better.

Yan Xiu is from S City in the 21st century. There is always a saying in his family that if you eat, you will be saved. If you don't even want to eat, this person is going to be fast.

Although the words are quite biased, they are not without some truth.

After drinking the water in the glass, Yan Xiu got up and was about to leave. At this moment, an attendant walked into the restaurant and politely stopped at a distance from Yan Xiu, "Mr. Hughes, good day."

"Good day." Yan Xiu glanced at the attendant, who seemed to be the person next to Augustus. "What's the matter?"

"Lord Augustus asked me to tell you that the matter of choosing your bodyguard has been completed, and you can go to jjj to find him at any time." The attendant bent over and spoke respectfully, but he felt another strong feeling Eyes fell on him.Can't help but look up slightly, the attendant immediately lowered his head even lower.

That human being is horrible.

"j□j?" Yan Xiu has lived here for a while, j□j is the back garden behind the main house, usually he only drinks tea in the atrium, and rarely goes to j□j.

"Yes."

"Tell Augustus, I understand." Yan Xiu picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth.

"Hughes, you want to pick a bodyguard?" Na Lian turned to look at Hughes in surprise, and put down the knife and fork in her hand.She has never heard of this incident, it should be Hughes' impromptu idea.

"Yeah." Yan Xiu didn't want to say more about this matter, he put down his napkin after wiping his mouth, and he was about to leave the restaurant to have a look at j□j.

Na Lian watched Hughes get up, and looked at Hughes hesitantly for a long time, and could only watch Hughes walk out of the restaurant.And the person who was following Hughes looked back at her when he left the restaurant, and just one glance made her weak.

"This is really bad..."

Naturally, Yan Xiu couldn't hear Na Lian's words, he walked towards j□j step by step, and Dewey who followed behind him didn't stop him.Yan Xiu naturally became more unscrupulous, besides, he himself didn't need to be afraid of anything.

It should be mentioned here that the main house of Augustus is very beautiful. There are three courtyards alone, and there are countless rooms. Each room seems to have a different function.As a guest room for guests, it is incomparable with other rooms in number, and there is only one master bedroom—of course Augustus lives there.

There are three courtyards in the front, middle and back, with beautiful scenery and completely different plants.Plants are as precious as gems in Brandt, and the barren Brandt has very few green plants.However, here in Augustus, it seems to be no different from other continents, and it can't be more beautiful to decorate the house.

There is only one road leading to the back garden, and there are different flowers planted beside it, either blooming or withering, or budding or just green, the scenery is very elegant.

Most of the plants planted in the back garden are more powerful than the plants in the vestibule and atrium, and some of them are alive. Simply beside the path leading to the interior of the back garden, these living and powerful plants have not been planted yet.

"Hey Seuss, you're finally here." Augustus stood at the end of the passage and waited for Seuss. He turned around when he heard the footsteps, but his eyes paused for a while when he passed Dewey, and then He greeted Hughes again, "I found a lot of personal guards for you, you can pick two that you like and take them away."

"Thank you." Yan Xiu walked up to Augustus, and then followed Augustus to the back garden.

Presumably those vampire guards must still be inside.

Dewey looked up at the back of Hughes, and the latter followed Augustus into the back garden. Behind Hughes, who was almost invisible, Dewey raised his foot and followed.

"Hughes, how do you want to choose?" Augustus asked Hughes curiously on the way to the gathered vampire guards.He was indeed curious about how Hughes picked people, after all, this was the first time Hughes picked someone himself.It was assigned to him before and he accepted it without saying anything.

"It depends on your mood." Yan Xiu's words are true, he does many things based on his mood.After all, to make others comfortable and happy, his own comfort and happiness is the most important thing.

"..." Augustus was speechless for a while.

The two people's pace was not fast, but they rushed to the place where the vampire guards gathered.

It was the first time for Yan Xiu to see so many vampires.

The empty space in the back garden was full of vampires. The gathering of vampires with different looks but quite good-looking made Yan Xiu a little confused.The beautiful vampire is standing next to the beautiful scenery. This scene is a kind of enjoyment for Yan Xiu, who has not seen such a beautiful scenery for a long time.Everyone likes beautiful things, and appreciates them more.

"Hughes, you seem to be very satisfied with them?" Augustus' tone was smiling, even a little joking.

"Yeah." Yan Xiu didn't deny it. He really thought these vampires looked good standing with the flowers in the back garden. This was a fact, and there was nothing undeniable.

"Then do you have a fancy?" Augustus asked with a smile.

He had greeted these vampires long before gathering them. He was a personal guard for human beings.He was looking for personal guards for Hughes, not turning himself into Hughes' enemy. He has already been watched by those who have a bad temper.

Hearing Augustus' question, Yan Xiu touched his chin.

The vampires standing in the garden are all good-looking, but what he needs are personal guards. Of course, the higher the strength, the better. "Which one is stronger?"

Augustus smiled, "Kral, Zeya, Tov, you three come here."

The three vampires walked out from all the vampires, and they were still unmoved by the many gazes on their bodies.The three vampires stood in front of Augustus respectfully, "I have met Lord Augustus."

"Do you have anything fancy, Hughes?" Augustus nodded at the three vampires.

Yan Xiu looked at the three vampires standing in front of him. They were all slender, and their muscles could not be seen in their clothes, but since Augustus had selected them, their strength must not be too bad, right?Looking at the handsome looks of the three vampires, Yan Xiu felt that half of today's work was done, and he had to do the other half by himself.

"What do you usually like to do?"

Yan Xiu looked at the three vampires who were stunned after hearing his question. Among them, Zeya reacted faster. He glanced at the other two vampires and then at Augustus, as if he was not sure why he asked such a question. .

"...I like reading books." Zeya said.

"Drink blood." Claire said.

"I love stalking people!" Tove.

Interests and hobbies are really special, especially Krall's interests.

"Hughes, what are their interests?" Shouldn't you be asking what attacks they are good at?

There was a sudden fault in Augustus' thinking.

"Ask whatever you want."

"..."

Yan Xiu pondered for a while, "Just the three of them."

Augustus nodded understandingly, looked at the three vampires, and looked stern, "Since Hughes chose you, you have to protect Hughes well, you understand?"

"Yes!"

Waving to make the rest of the vampire guards retreat, Augustus led Hughes out of the back garden.Neither of them noticed that Dewey had disappeared at some point.

Augustus frowned, he didn't know when Dewey disappeared, it was very dangerous for him.

"What's wrong?" Yan Xiu walked halfway and found Augustus stopped.

"It's nothing."

Yan Xiu glanced at Augustus who said he was fine, then continued to walk away.

That night.

Yan Xiu was lying alone in his room. He had just sorted out the numerous gemstones in his head, and he breathed a sigh of relief as soon as the heavy sorting work was completed.

When I opened my eyes and looked out the window, it was already midnight.At least at this time, only the maid here is active outside, and everyone else is resting.

After arranging his clothes, Yan Xiu was also ready to go to bed.

But at this moment, he smelled a faint smell of blood, which was not obvious but lingered.This made him sit up a little uneasy.

The faint moonlight shone into the room through the window, leaving a large block of shadows condensed around the walls. In the quiet room, there was only the sound of his breathing, nothing else.

Yan Xiu frowned, this is not a good sign.

Yan Xiu obviously felt that something was wrong, but no matter what, he couldn't see anything wrong with the room, and he became more and more anxious.After looking at the room for a long time, Yan Xiu didn't see anything wrong, so he decided not to look.

Just as Yan Xiu was lying down, his pupils contracted violently where he could see.

Under the closed door, a puddle of water-like liquid slowly spread towards the room.

Sitting up suddenly, Yan Xiu almost stared at the pool of slowly spreading liquid.

The calm breathing became shortness of breath, and the swelling in the chest was the tension. Yan Xiu almost focused all his attention on the door.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement at the door.

Yan Xiu knew that he shouldn't wait any longer, maybe he should go and see what's going on outside.If Augustus's family was hunted down, the enemy would have no reason to let him go in this room, how could it be possible that they didn't come in after killing them all the way to the door.But what is certain is that someone died at his door.

Slowly stepping on the ground, Yan Xiu walked towards the door.The beating of the heart was very clear, thump, thump, and with the beating of the heart, he put his hand on the door.

Yan Xiu's knuckles are slender, with clear bones, very beautiful.He gently put his hand on the door, and the door was pushed open without him even trying.This can only mean one thing -

The door was open, and the person outside had asked him to open it on purpose.

As soon as he realized that Yan Xiu didn't even have a chance to escape, what he saw made him speechless.

Blood, blood everywhere.

The scarlet liquid flowed slowly on the ground, and some of it had even solidified and dried up.

Three familiar corpses fell in front of his door, Krall, Zeya, Tove...

"...what are you doing, Dewey."

Looking up, it was Dewey standing silently at the door of his room.He was dressed in black and covered in blood, but Dewey didn't seem to care much about the scarlet liquid.

He is looking at himself.

"The seat next to you can only be mine." Dewey stepped on Krall's body, his dark purple eyes were dark.

Yan Xiu stood there silently, "What's your intention in doing this?"

"I will protect you."

"The person who disappeared suddenly before was you." Yan Xiu raised the corners of his mouth mockingly, and looked at Dewey with his arms crossed, "I don't believe you."

"..."
