The Girl Who Reincarnated as a Vampire Heiress

Chapter 258

Chloe snapped at him, "If you're not satisfied, go and ask him to change it yourself, quit coming to me and sighing over it."

Upon hearing these words, Daniel's spirit was immediately crushed, "How would I dare to..."

After all, they are nothing more than a group of the lowest-ranked military academy students.

One must bow their head under the eaves. If their performance isn't up to standard, and that person called "White Left" tells Ren Yunying, they probably all will be done for.

"Since you get it, shut your mouth then." Qin Huaibei walked and wiped his long sword with his rag, finally raising his head to look ahead, "Lower your volume. If Chloe gets disturbed, we will all end up in the beasts' mouth."

Daniel immediately became silent.

However, Chloe wasn't affected by them. She habitually carried a piece of candy in her mouth, extending her senses far out to detect danger as early as possible for readiness.

She moved at an impressive pace, making steady strides with occasional pauses for a sip of water.

After progressing like this for about two hours, Chloe let out a tired yawn.

Hearing the sound, everyone's gaze immediately shifted in her direction anxiously.

Anderson frowned and pressed her wrist, "Can you hold on?"

Katherine suggested, "Let me lead the way."

Their concern would make one think Chloe was some kind of precious porcelain doll.

Chloe found it amusing. She shrugged off Anderson's hand declaring, "I'm not that fragile yet, leave it to me."

Hearing her, Katherine hesitated, eventually surrendering to Chloe's assertive gaze.

With the road winding ahead and evening approaching, Chloe paused, “There's a giant water python coming towards us. You two, go kill it and bring it back. We'll have grilled python for dinner."

The ones named, Qin Huaibei and Daniel, immediately moved in the direction Chloe pointed to.

The location of the python wasn't far from where they had decided to set up their camp, Katherine could hear the clanging of Daniel and Qin Huaibei's weapons from where she was setting up the tents.

Occasionally, she could even hear the roars of wild beasts.

As if they were right before their eyes.

Despite its size, a water python is slow and less agile, so it was defeated quickly.

As they finished setting up the tent, Qin Huaibei and Daniel dragged the python back.

"Thud!"

Daniel threw the python on the ground, wiping his hands disgustedly, "Damn beast was tough. If my hammer hadn't hit its head, we might not have been able to bring it back.”

Before he could finish, Qin Huaibei was quick to sarcastically roll his eyes, "Yeah, yeah, of course, you did the most.”

Daniel was defensive, "Well, it was me! You're just a bookish man who knows nothing more than some fancy moves.”

Qin Huaibei clenched his fist, ready to punch, but just then, Chloe interrupted, "Enough, it doesn’t matter who did the most. In my heart, the one who skins and debones this snake is the one who deserves all the credit.”

The arguing instantly ceased.

Qin Huaibei, with a sour face, unsheathed his sword and cut open the python’s rough skin.

Daniel glared at him with anger and started digging for the snake's gall with his bare hands.

Katherine, witnessing all of this, sighed — what a pair of foes.

Who knows what foils they were to each other in their past lives, that in this one they must constantly clash.

Thankfully, there was Chloe to keep them in check.

She glanced at Chloe, not too far away, building a campfire, and went over to help.

The night was thick, and everyone only felt less chilled once the campfire was lit.

In the deep forest at night, the damp was always heavy, and you had to stay extremely close to the campfire to keep it at bay.

The meat of the water python wasn't tasty, but at least it had a decent texture. Chloe frowned as she ate, then turned to Anderson:

"Do you have any barbecue seasoning?"

Anderson was silent for two seconds before reaching into his pocket to reveal several bottles of cumin, pepper, and chili powder.

And various sauces.

Chloe's eyes lit up and she immediately took them to add flavor to the bland water python meat.

The others, finding nothing unusual about this, came over to grab some seasoning.

After all, Anderson was known to produce anything from his pockets, a few bottles of barbecue seasoning was nothing extraordinary.

After dinner, it was time to discuss who would keep watch at night.

Since Qin Huaibei and Chloe had already kept watch when they were at the military camp, it wouldn't be fair for it to be them again this time.

The remaining three, Anderson, Daniel, and Katherine, decided by playing rock-paper-scissors.

The final pick was Anderson.

Daniel excitedly flashed a 'yeah' with his fingers and went off yawning to sleep.

Chloe patted Anderson's shoulders, urging him with an earnest expression: "Do a good job."

Hearing her words, Anderson looked serious. He nodded firmly, indicating he would definitely do a good job.

Every time it was the same, even if the task was ordinary, as long as Chloe patted his shoulders and encouraged him, he instantly became exceptionally serious.

Just like now.

Seeing his earnest little look, Chloe couldn't help but laugh.

She playfully pinched Anderson's cheek. "Why so naive?"

Anderson swallowed, his sight shifted away as he tried to hide his embarrassing blush.

Chloe found his reactions amusing and continued to tease: "We've known each other for so long, still feeling shy just because I talk to you?"

"Hmm?"

While speaking, Chloe completely failed to notice the unusually close distance between them, plus her hand invading Anderson’s personal space.

Anderson had reached his limit, eventually raising his hand and firmly grasping Chloe's wrist. In front of her playful gaze, his Adam's apple bobbed as he lowered his voice and said with no choice:

"It's getting late, Missy. You should go back to your tent and rest."

"Why are you so thin-skinned?"

Chloe grumbled half-heartedly, freed herself from Anderson’s hold, and turned around to enter her tent.

Before she did, she noticed Daniel and Qin Huaibei leaning against the tent, watching them with extremely weird expressions.

Chloe halted, instinctively feeling sick, and finally uttered with a dark expression: "Keep looking at me like that and I'll skin you guys alive."

Upon hearing that, Qin Huaibei immediately surrendered with both hands up, indicating he didn’t dare to cross her.

Late into the night inside a tent, Chloe was about to fall asleep when Daniel beside her kept tossing and turning, thoroughly irritating her. Just when she was about to turn and confront Daniel, she saw two pairs of glowing eyes from a man and a woman next to them.

Chloe: "......"

Alertly, she pulled the blanket up to her chin and said in a stifled voice: "I am a respectable woman."

No sooner had she spoken, than Daniel immediately displayed an exasperated expression:

"Who on Earth would be interested in you?"

Having said this, he cleared his throat and remarked:

"We have no ulterior motives, we just want to know, what exactly are your thoughts on Anderson?"
