Chapter 316 Competition Over
In almost that split instant, the air froze. Jiang Yu and Katherine both got a scare. Everyone did not think that humans would initiate a sudden attack. They were all at a complete loss as they faced a strong enemy.

Tang Xia stood rooted to the ground for a long time, immersed in her thoughts. Suddenly, she turned towards Chu Tiankuo and Carl’s direction.

“Is this the big thing he said was going to happen?” Tang Xia could not help but mutter. Standing at one side, Jiang Yu’s sharp ears heard it loud and clear. She quickly grabbed her arm.

She asked nervously, “What do you mean? You already knew long ago that the humans would suddenly attack us?” When Katherine heard it, her gaze at Tang Xia changed instantly.

Tang Xia was taken aback. She quickly waved her hands and explained, “No, I just found out. I didn’t expect them to come right after I found out.”

After understanding the situation, Jiang Yu then let go of her. She turned to look at the two parties who were at swords’ points and could not help but frown in frustration. Their numbers this time around was way larger than the previous special forces.

The people at the ball slowly started to panic. Everyone was actually very afraid and their conversations grew louder gradually.

“Oh my god, what are we gonna do? So many of us were just injured badly and even the King suffered a great injury the last time. Are we all gonna die this time?”

Tang Xia heard a cry from the crowd and her gaze darkened. Suddenly, while everyone was in extreme panic, a thick and powerful voice rang throughout the entire hall. “Enough.”

The crowd all searched for the source of the voice. They saw Chu Tiankuo slowly walking out of the crowd in full confidence. There seemed to be not a single bit of nervousness in his gaze, as if he had already predicted all of this and have already made a decision.

The vampires were very cooperative and made a way for him. Everyone started to calm down as they saw his expression that seemed like everything was under control. Meanwhile, when walking past Tang Xia, Chu Tiankuo did not even give her an extra glance.

This caused her to be shocked and she quickly grabbed onto him. He then turned towards her but without saying anything, he pushed away her hand and continued walking towards the human police.

After coming to a stop, he scanned the crowd with a sharp gaze before saying slowly in a low voice, “I want to speak to your commander.”

Everyone was taken aback. The human police quickly lifted their guns and pointed at him. Tang Xia gasped in shock and when she was just about to step up, someone walked out slowly from the crowd of policemen.

That person had confident footsteps just like Chu Tiankuo. One glance was enough to tell that he was the commander of the human police.

That person lifted his hand for the rest to put down their guns. He glanced at Chu Tiankuo with a cold gaze. “You’re looking for me?” After saying that, he even took out a cigarette.

Chu Tiankuo was not bothered by how casual he was. “I think there’s no point in us continuing to fight. Why not we both take a step back?”

“We promise to not hurt the humans again and you guys will promise to never disturb the vampires. From today onwards, we shall never interfere with each other and walk our own paths. How’s that?”

After these words were spoken, the vampires and the police were all shocked, especially Tang Xia. She would have never thought that Chu Tiankuo would try to negotiate.

The human police then looked up and glanced at him. He almost dropped the cigarette in his hand. He started laughing in disbelief. “Are you trying to negotiate with me? But you vampires have always been cunning, things that come out from your mouth are not convincing!”

The human police behind him also shouted loudly as if they were against coming to a consensus. Chu Tiankuo lowered his gaze slightly.

Indeed, the two species’ grudge dated back a long time ago. It was an accumulation of hatred between their ancestors, how could it possibly change because of him?

“Then…have I failed at negotiating?”Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com

Chu Tiankuo suddenly laughed coldly. Tang Xia felt her whole body trembling. She clenched her fists tightly. Her palms and forehead were covered with cold sweat. This war was probably going to break out soon. The tension between the two parties became very stiff instantly.

However, Chu Tiankuo did not seem like he was close to fighting a battle. On the contrary, he smiled calmly and suddenly turned around and dashed towards Tang Xia.

Tang Xia was taken aback. She looked at him full of confusion, unclear of what he was trying to do. He came to a stop in front of her and stood still. He lifted his hand and gently caressed her cheek.

Everyone was shocked. They did not expect him to show his affection in such an inappropriate setting.

Just when Tang Xia was about to flare up at him, he suddenly smiled at her gently. This smile caused her heart to waver. His charming, deep cello-like voice sounded in her ears.

“Goodbye, my Tang Xia.”

This sentence caused her to feel uncomfortable for some reason. She looked at the smiling Chu Tiankuo with a blank look. “What are you talking about? Are you saying goodbye because you’re certain that we will lose?” The war had yet to begin.

However, Chu Tiankuo’s smile deepened. However, there was a tint of apology between his eyes. Tang Xia naturally caught it well. His hand fell onto her gown slowly and he gently caressed the cold texture.

After staying silent for some time, he said slowly, “Actually, I haven’t told you all this while but the mission of this competition is just to find the Vampire’s Cloak.”

Once these words were spoken, standing at one side, Katherine, Jiang Yu, and Tang Xia all froze in shock. Tang Xia lowered her head in dumbfoundedness and looked at her gown. At this point in time, she could not help but flared up.

“Chu Tiankuo! How dare you lie to me! I told you not to help me and yet you still…”

She could not finish her sentence as she was pissed to the extreme. Chu Tiankuo looked at her unwillingly. He smiled helplessly, “I’m sorry, I just want to give the best to you. I said this before, I cannot help myself from helping you all the time.”

Even though he did not want to end this competition, he had no authority to prolong the competition. He suddenly turned around and announced to everyone, “The competition is over.”

At the next instant, a system prompt suddenly flashed before Tang Xia: [Congratulations on gaining victory]. Tang Xia froze. She quickly lifted her head and wanted to grab onto Chu Tiankuo. She had too many things to say, how could she possibly let him go?

However, it was all too late. In the backdrop of the white light that was slowly eating everything away, she saw Chu Tiankuo’s last gentle smiling gaze filled with apology.

Even though she was aware that the smile was for her, she still could not hold back the urge to blame him. When she opened her eyes again, she was already logged out of the system and had returned to Aqua Crystal Stadium.

All of the fans erupted into chaos instantly. No one had expected this ending and even the MC did not know what to say. July quickly went up to help Tang Xia. “Are you alright?”

Tang Xia recovered after some time. Suddenly, she saw Ye Yifan standing not far away, looking at her worriedly. At that instant, she felt devastated. At this moment, the reporters all flocked towards her and started throwing questions at her with their microphones pointing at her.

“What do you think about Chu Tiankuo helping you to win this competition?”

“Do you think that the competition is fair?”

“What do you feel about eliminating Ye Yifan and then gaining victory?”

“…”

All of these questions were critical and pierced at her heart. July could not hold back her urge to scold them but Tang Xia kept a straight face and walked past them without saying a word.Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com

The reporters were reluctant to let her go just like that. They quickly followed after her and continued to do so even after she got into her car.

When she reached home, she finally felt peace and quiet. Looking at the spacious room, she felt extremely peaceful. She took off her shoes and plumped herself onto her bed.

She buried her head in her blanket but the scene of Chu Tiankuo’s last smile kept appearing before her and his ‘sorry’ kept repeating in her ear.

Her phone was buzzing non-stop. Feeling annoyed, she picked it up and glanced at it. She had missed more than 10 calls from July and more than 20 from Ye Yifan.

After staying silent for a while, she finally opened her texts. She saw that they had sent her many voicemails, but she did not want to hear any of them. She placed her phone down right away.

She thought about it again after a while. Eventually, she still mustered the courage and opened her Weibo. Without exception, everyone was questioning the results of the competition. The company’s official account was also under fire. Most netizens were questioning if the company was deliberately helping Tang Xia.

Although these were all expected, Tang Xia still felt attacked. In that split instant, all the comments came crashing on her like a giant wave.

In the following few days, Tang Xia did not pick up any calls. She stayed at home and refused to come out. Alone at home, she just stared into space all the time and cut off connections from the world. She did not even turn on the TV.

All of the news about her was negative. After an unknown number of days, someone knocked on her door one day. Tang Xia dragged her tired body towards the door and she took a peek at the peephole. It was Ye Yifan.

She became flustered instantly. Listening to the banging on the door, she did not know what to do and leaned against the door with her back facing him.

She really did not have the courage to see him now. She could not help but slowly crouched onto the ground lifelessly. Her hands were wrapped around her body tightly like a helpless child.

After an unknown period of time, the knocking finally stopped. While Tang Xia heaved a sigh of relief, she still felt reluctant.

After a short while, the knocking resumed again. Tang Xia pondered for a while before standing up slowly. She took a deep breath and placed her hand on the door handle. Perhaps she must still face what she had to face.

As if having made a decision, she opened the door with great strength. However, she only saw a sack coming at her.

Tang Xia only felt everything before her turning black. She quickly started screaming and struggled to break free. She felt someone coming at her and picked her up. At that instant, she was turned upside down and her heart was full of panic.
