Chapter 314 Celebratory Ball
Facing Tang Xia’s harsh accusation, Chu Tiankuo could not find the right words to say. He gently held the hand that was pointing towards the coffin. Just when he was about to say something, she swung his hand away agitatedly.
There was a tint of devastation in her gaze as she said harshly, “Didn’t you say that it was just an illusion? Why was he eliminated all of a sudden?”
There was some doubt concealed in her tone.
Chu Tiankuo stared at her for a while and she slowly regained her consciousness from the sudden seriousness in his eyes. Chu Tiankuo finally had the chance to open up.
“I also don’t know why this happened, but I can swear to god that I didn’t cause this to happen. Although I don’t like him, I will never do anything that will make you unhappy.”
Listening to his convincing explanation, Tang Xia’s heart wavered. She knew that Chu Tiankuo had never lied to her.
She became more settled with his assurance. She turned around and looked at the dust in the coffin. She still could not let it go. “I can’t believe Ye Yifan got eliminated so easily. This cannot be.”
She slowly clenched her fists. Chu Tiankuo knew that it was normal that she could not accept it at that moment. He could only go up to her, pull her back and force her to look at him in the eyes.
Her eyes were sparkling like stars. He felt that he could see a faint spark.
He became serious and put on a solemn expression, saying in a lowered voice, “Tang Xia, no matter what, you have to believe it. The system had already prompted that Ye Yifan had been eliminated. There’s no way to bring him back, nor will anything change.”
“Accept the reality. Let us continue the game and live his part as well, alright?”
Tang Xia’s tightly-clenched fists began to loosen as if she was calming down after hearing what he said. Her gaze also began to settle down. She closed her eyes with disappointment.
Unknown to them, the broadcast room in the reality was in complete chaos. All of the audience did not understand why such a thing happened. None of them knew why Ye Yifan got eliminated.
“What the heck? What’s going on? My Ye-Tang Couple cannot be separated!”
“How can Master Ye be eliminated without reaching the end?”
“There must be a bug in the game!”
“Tang Xia’s recklessness caused my Master to be eliminated!”
“…”
Seeing the fans outside get even rowdier, July also did not know what to do. At this moment, the eliminated Ye Yifan exited the broadcast.
He saw that all of the fans felt outraged at the unfairness and most of them were picking on Tang Xia. He quickly went to grab the microphone and calmed them down.
“Everyone, please don’t be too worked up over this. I also feel helpless over being eliminated, but this has nothing to do with Tang Xia. Please continue watching the broadcast as a logical audience.” Seeing that Ye Yifan had already spoken up, the fans then calmed down.
Meanwhile, in the broadcast, Chu Tiankuo picked up the Vampire’s Cloak and passed it to Tang Xia. “Since we had gone through so much to gain this, you should keep it.”
After saying that, he wanted to put it on for her. However, Tang Xia frowned in disgust and smacked it onto the floor. She stared at it coldly as if she wanted to tear it apart.
“Why would I want something that is exchanged using Ye Yifan’s life!” She basically roared this sentence. She was so emotional that her voice was slightly trembling. This time around, Chu Tiankuo was a little upset. His gaze deepened and his aura became stiff and cold.
“Look at how you’re behaving. Do you still expect to win? What a joke! It’s more practical if you go back home to sleep.”
After saying that, he slowly picked up the cloak from the ground and shook the dust off. Hearing this, Tang Xia became upset. She looked up at him in disbelief.
“What did you say!”
Chu Tiankuo was trying to trigger her to wake her up. However, she became even more angered. Feeling helpless, he kept the cloak in his hand and looked at the enraged Tang Xia with a cold gaze.
“You can’t even treasure the thing that your partner sacrificed his life for and you’re still so indecisive. I thought that you were different from other women, but in the end, you’re just the same as those emotional creatures. You’ll never be a winner.”Read More chapter on our Webnovel Club
She stared at him wide-eyed as his thin lips spewed out those words that hurt her more and more. They were like knives stabbing into her heart.
Even though she agreed with his words, she would definitely not cave in on this matter. When Chu Tiankuo saw the stubbornness in her eyes, he knew that what he just said was useless.
Indeed, Tang Xia suddenly gave a peal of cold laughter. She pointed at the cloak in his hand as if she was looking at something dirty.
“No matter how logical you may be, I have my principles too! I will never step on my partner’s corpse, especially one who had fought side by side with me, just to gain victory!”
“Even if I want to become a winner, I want to do it proudly by my own efforts and no dirty tricks!” After saying that, she swung her hand harshly and turned around to leave.
Chu Tiankuo frowned and looked at her back view. He squinted his eyes and heaved a long helpless sigh. His thin icy gaze was filled with helplessness. He could only murmur softly, “Tang Xia, Tang Xia, what should I do?”
When facing this stubborn Tang Xia, he was always helpless.
He could only quicken his footsteps and follow after her. They left behind an empty extravagant palace, a lonely crystal coffin lying in the middle, and a room full of silence.
Tang Xia walked back the path where they came from. This time around, she was really triggered. Along the way, she spoke not a single word to Chu Tiankuo and did not even glance at him. She treated as if he did not exist.
Even though Chu Tiankuo was like a cat on a hot tin roof and could not contain himself, he still could not do anything to her.
Their trip back was quite peaceful. They arrived at the castle not long after. Meanwhile, Chu Tiankuo had already ordered them to rebuild the castle before leaving. When they arrived, even though part of it was still not done, the main structure was completed.
Seeing the castle looking just like how she had left it, Tang Xia halted her footsteps. She quickly opened the door and entered. It looked just like before.
When the people in the castle heard that Chu Tiankuo was coming back, they all ran out quickly, stood in two rows and bowed to him.
After all, they only managed to survive because Chu Tiankuo had gone out to deal with the humans alone. The respect towards him came from their hearts.
Chu Tiankuo gave them a slight nod and gestured for them to get up. Tang Xia said plainly that she wanted to return to her room but Chu Tiankuo grabbed onto her. He slowly lifted the other hand that held onto the cloak.
Everyone was curious as to what it was. Chu Tiankuo announced in a low voice, “I’ve already acquired the Vampire’s Cloak. In order to celebrate getting such a powerful item, I’ve decided to host a ball!”
The crowd was surprised and in that instant, whispers began to fill the room. Within a short while, everyone settled down and congratulated him uniformly.
Standing at one side, Tang Xia witnessed the whole scene with a cold eye. Although they knew that they had retrieved the hope of defeating the humans, they did not know the price paid for it.
She swung his hand away coldly and said in an icy-cold voice, “You’re done announcing, I can go now, right?” She did not even wait for him to reply and turned around to leave without turning back.
When the crowd witnessed this scene, they were filled with curiosity but no one dared to comment about it. The silent hall was filled with Tang Xia’s footsteps as she went upstairs.
Chu Tiankuo looked at her back view with a faint gaze as she went upstairs. His gaze was like a dead sea, it encamped the calm before the storm.
He then turned to give a few orders for the arrangement of the ball. He also turned around and went upstairs. Upon receiving their orders, everyone started to get busy with their own tasks.
In the next two days, Chu Tiankuo did not find Tang Xia. She remained in her room and did not come out of a daze. No one took the first step to break the silence, they went on their ways and did not disturb each other.
However, the butler noticed that Chu Tiankuo had been doing something in the past two days. He was kept busy in his room doing something. He did not allow anyone to enter, which made the whole situation mysterious.
Chu Tiankuo only left his room when the day of the ball came. The first thing he did, however, was to look for Tang Xia.
In the past two days, Katherine and Jiang Yu came to ask Tang Xia what happened. Although she did not want to talk about it, she could only tell them the whole story.
On this day when Chu Tiankuo went to knock on her door, she thought that it was the girls again so she opened the door without paying much attention.
However, when her gaze caught sight of Chu Tiankuo, a tint of unhappiness struck across her eyes instantly. She then tried to close the door.
Chu Tiankuo quickly struck out his leg and stopped the door from closing. Tang Xia could not close it no matter what. She knew clearly that she would not win him so she let him be. Feeling like she got nothing to lose either way, she turned back and sunk onto her sofa.
Chu Tiankuo gently passed her the box in his hand. “I’m sorry. I’ve taken the past two days to think it through. Back then I didn’t think about your feeling carefully so the words I said and the attitude I used were not very good.”
“I’m here to apologize with a gift. Would you be willing to forgive me? I made this myself.”
Tang Xia raised a brow. She looked at the gift box in his hand suspiciously. She did not expect him to make her a gown on his own. Just this point alone already reduced her anger by half.Read More chapter on our Webnovel Club
In the past two days, he had thought a lot. That day, he was indeed a little too agitated. Just now, he was just trying to regain his pride.
This time around, Chu Tiankuo’s attitude when apologizing was good. Tang Xia would be deemed a little childish if she still harped on it. “I also went a little overboard the other day. Let’s call it even.”
She took the gift box from him. Chu Tiankuo’s lips curled happily.
After opening the box, she realized that it was a small gown. Although it looked like it was just a gown, the design was very casual. It kept the elegance while allowing for free mobility. A tint of surprise flashed across Tang Xia’s eyes. “You made this?”
