Chapter 711: Chapter 0712: Midnight Screams in the Castle [Update 28]

Because they had been touring all morning, Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting decided not to go out in the afternoon, and Louise had some matters to attend to and left earlier.

When Zhou Wenting returned to the room she shared with Louise to rest, Ye Qiu returned to his guest room, and after asking a young maid to bring him a cup of black tea, he closed the door, sat at the desk, and continued perusing the medieval religious book.

Yesterday, Ye Qiu didn’t understand much about the content of these religious books, but last night, after assimilating a large amount of Soul Consciousness, he had come to understand the true religious identities of Earl Charley, the Archbishop, and Viscountess Louise.

It was past five o’clock in the afternoon in Paris when he noticed that the sunlight outside the window suddenly became dim. This was different from back home where it could still be very bright at seven o’clock in the evening in the summer, almost like daytime.

To his surprise, here it was getting dark just past five in the afternoon.

Ye Qiu sat inside, continued to read the book, and planned to attend Count Charley’s evening banquet before visiting his Eastern Castle and the ten-thousand-square-meter estate. Then he would buy some items in Paris and fly back to Jinling.

However, Ye Qiu still didn’t know when Count Charley’s evening banquet was going to take place!

Around seven in the evening, there was a knock at the door. When Ye Qiu opened it, two other young and beautiful maids were there to escort him to bathe and change before descending to have dinner with Count Charley.

He might have disliked this custom for that reason.

Eating a meal required a bath, seeing Count Charley for treatment also necessitated a bath. All told, he bathed four times in a day. If the weather had been hot, bathing four times a day wouldn’t have been an issue.

But the weather here was not hot, rather it was quite cool.

Still, knowing he wouldn’t stay long at Earl Charley’s place, Ye Qiu didn’t mind too much.

Following the two young maids to the bathtub, Ye Qiu stood there as they stripped him of his clothes and let him into the tub. The very comfortable hot spring water cascaded over him, and by then the two young maids had already shed their skirts, revealing their large breasts.

Compared to people from the East, those from the West seemed to be naturally larger and, moreover, these two young maids did not seem to mind at all if Ye Qiu made any inappropriate moves toward them.

But Ye Qiu didn’t touch them at all.

When Ye Qiu was done bathing and came outside, Zhou Wenting was already waiting for him.

At night, alone in the castle, Zhou Wenting would feel scared.

Just now was the same. With Louise having left earlier on some errands, she was alone in her room, and thoughts of the skull in the master’s room and those pairs of red-eyed bats made Zhou Wenting feel scared. Fortunately, she could have the two young maids join her inside for company.

Seeing Ye Qiu now, she hurried over and said, "I’m still scared."

"What will you do tonight then?"

"I, I want to sleep in your room!"

Zhou Wenting whispered.

"A man and an unmarried woman in the same room, aren’t you afraid I’ll take liberties?"

Ye Qiu had shared a suite with other beauties before, but this was his first time sharing just one room.

He wasn’t worried about anything, just concerned that Zhou Wenting might mind.

"What’s there to be afraid of? You wouldn’t dare to take liberties!"

Zhou Wenting said with a blush.

She learned from those young maids that while they bathed him, Ye Qiu didn’t even glance at them once, leaving her wondering what he was thinking.

As the two of them went down to the dining room on the first floor, Earl Charley was already waiting for them.

Having been completely cured by Ye Qiu, Earl Charley looked much better, but his complexion was still somewhat pale, as if he rarely spent time in the sun.

"Dr. Ye, Miss Zhou, tonight let’s keep it simple, and have the chefs prepare your favorite Huaxia Jiangnan cuisine!"

This was the first time Count Charley had treated guests in such a manner.

After all, when other distinguished guests came over, they were served whatever was being prepared in the kitchen.

But this time, Count Charley, fearing that Ye Qiu was too accustomed to French cuisine and wouldn’t feel comfortable, had specially invited two Chinese chefs from Paris’ Chinatown at great expense to cook Jiangnan cuisine.

"That’s great."

After Zhou Wenting translated, Ye Qiu replied.

Once they sat down, Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting discovered that these were indeed very familiar Jiangnan dishes, complete with color, aroma, and taste, which was a welcome change for Ye Qiu who had grown tired of eating French bread and now found the rice to be really quite nice.

After the meal, which was finished around ten at night,

Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting did not go out to the manor again but went straight up to the seventh floor to his guest room in the castle.

After Ye Qiu closed the door, Zhou Wenting sat directly on the big bed.

The bed was very wide, big enough for four or five people to sleep on, so it was not at all cramped for two.

That night, Ye Qiu was preparing to continue practicing the "Primordial Five Emperors Technique"; he wanted to see if he would still feel discomfort during cultivation, or even experience absorption of large amounts of Soul Consciousness.

"You go to sleep first!"

"What about you?"

Zhou Wenting asked, puzzled.

She had just changed into a loose robe, indeed ready to sleep, as she was in the habit of taking naps and hadn’t done so today, now feeling truly sleepy.

"I’m going to meditate and cultivate!"

Zhou Wenting did not know what Ye Qiu was cultivating.

Yet after Ye Qiu turned off the lights in the room and sat cross-legged on the mat, Zhou Wenting at first watched him, but gradually, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Unaware of how much time had passed, suddenly, both Zhou Wenting and Ye Qiu seemed to hear a scream. When they opened their eyes at the same time, Zhou Wenting saw a swarm of bats with red eyes and white fur flying in and out of the window, frightening Zhou Wenting so much that she clung to Ye Qiu.

"I just heard what seemed like a scream."

Zhou Wenting said.

Ye Qiu had heard it even more clearly than Zhou Wenting, but he simply said, "You might have heard wrong."

"I’m still very scared."

Especially upon seeing those dense groups of bats, pairs of red eyes seemingly staring at her as if they wanted to devour her, Zhou Wenting felt afraid.

As Zhou Wenting clung tightly to Ye Qiu, he could only go and drive the bats away, then, after closing the window, when he lay down on the bed, Zhou Wenting quickly clung tightly to him.

Now she wished to leave this castle as soon as possible because it felt so different from everything she had experienced in France before.

The body temperatures of men and women differ; sometimes, men’s body temperature is higher than women’s, and at other times, women’s is higher than men’s.

At the moment, Zhou Wenting didn’t know if it was fear or worry, but a chill ran down her back, making her break out in a cold sweat, until Ye Qiu took the initiative to embrace her and let her nestle in his arms, which finally made her feel less frightened than before.
