Chapter 1937: A Glimpse
"Power merely passes through their bodies; the residual Divine Power can increase their strength several times over, but this bit of strength isn't enough to make you feel fear, is it?"
"Fear? Not quite." Chen Yu grinned: "It's nothing more than a few oversized Werewolves coming to die. Other than that, I feel no pressure at all."
"Among the Wolf Clan in the Snow Plains, unless those six High Priests make a move, there aren't many who could make you feel fear. Of course, the Wolf King is different; he is much stronger," Jinsang said leisurely.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. This young lady is my friend; she wants to see the legendary Werewolves." Chen Yu pointed at Tang Qing.
Tang Qing was a bit displeased. She deliberately puffed out her chest, thinking to herself: Who is young? Where am I young?
But of course, she wouldn't say these words to his face. She just glared at Chen Yu and then said with a smile: "Mr. Jinsang, I have always liked reading novels."
"In novels, the Blood Clan are romantic and loyal, and the Werewolf Clan are brave and fearless of death. So, I am very curious about these two races and want to see if they are the same as in the legends."
"If you believe those romantic love stories in novels, you've already lost." Jinsang shook his head: "Most of the Blood Clan are despicable and shameless fellows."
"They are insidious and cunning. If you are ever lucky enough to encounter them, please stay away from them, and definitely do not believe their ghost stories."
"This..." Tang Qing felt a bit awkward; the Blood Clan she saw in novels were not like this.
However, the person before her was clearly more persuasive.
She nodded and said: "Alright, thank you for the reminder. If I ever encounter them, I promise I will stay far away from them." Tang Qing nodded heavily.
Then she asked curiously: "What about the Werewolf Clan? Are they the same as in the legends?"
"They are not the same either." Jinsang smiled: "Regarding the Werewolf Clan, no one understands them better than we do."
"Call them loyal and brave? They are only loyal to their own race, and for the sake of their race's survival, they are capable of doing anything that defies heaven and angers the masses."
"And toward ordinary people, they will only show you their brutal side. If you encounter them, run as fast as you can, because no one can guarantee whether they will suddenly fly into a rage the next second and tear you to pieces."
Tang Qing was slightly stunned. She said with a wry smile: "If you put it that way, is everything I read in novels inaccurate?"
"Things in books are just for entertainment. To attract people, they only describe beautiful things to you." Jinsang sneered. He picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip: "But the truth is not as they say, so you must learn to distinguish it yourself."
"Alright, I will learn to distinguish it. Then... can I see these two races here at your place?" Tang Qing asked.
"Yes, Mr. Chen has come at just the right time. I have an Underground Arena, and today there will be members of these two races fighting hand-to-hand." Jinsang grinned: "In my bar, only VIPs are qualified to watch."
"Mr. Chen is my honored guest, so today I can give you free admission tickets. When the time comes, you can observe up close what is different about these two races."
"Really? That's great, thank you." Tang Qing was delighted. She felt that her trip today was not in vain after all.
"I will go prepare for today's fight first. You two please rest here for a moment." Jinsang stood up, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Chen Yu, is this Jinsang the half-Werewolf you mentioned? He looks refined and polite to me, quite nice. He doesn't seem like the type to fly into a rage as you described?" After Jinsang left, Tang Qing asked curiously.
"That's because you haven't seen what he looks like when he transforms." Chen Yu glanced at her and said: "If you saw what he looked like after transforming, you wouldn't say that."
"Alright, his bar actually has a program like Dark Creature fighting; that's pretty interesting." Tang Qing thought about the upcoming program, and she felt vaguely expectant.
"Is this what you're looking forward to?" Chen Yu asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Seeing Chen Yu's expression was a bit strange, Tang Qing became even more curious: "Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just... are you sure you want to watch? This kind of fighting is equivalent to underground black-market boxing, only more cruel." Chen Yu said: "It's a bloody spectacle staged between Blood Clan and Werewolves who were caught after accidentally entering the human world."
"The level of bloodshed far exceeds your imagination. If you want to watch, I won't stop you, but I think with your psychological endurance, you probably won't be able to eat for three days and three nights."
"Don't look down on me like that, okay?" Tang Qing was a bit unconvinced: "I've been learning Traditional Chinese Medicine from my grandfather since I was a child."
"And sometimes Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners have to use scalpels too. Cutting flesh, scraping bone, and removing foreign objects from the throat—I've done these minor surgeries before."
"Alright then, you can stay and go watch, but you must be mentally prepared, because the cruelty in the fight is much bloodier than when you hold a scalpel."
"Don't you worry about that, put your heart at ease." Tang Qing said with a smile: "My psychological endurance is still quite good."
As time passed, the number of people in the bar gradually increased.
The area where the Vampire Bar was located was itself a lawless zone.
Here, one could see bloody violence and crime every day.
When a fight with weapons broke out in the bar and someone's head was smashed open to reveal a bloody hole, the nightlife could be considered to have officially begun.
The riot ended. Tang Qing saw a few people lying on the ground and wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by Chen Yu.
"Why are you stopping me? Someone is injured over there." Tang Qing asked, puzzled.
"There will be people to handle their injuries; don't go meddling in other people's business." Chen Yu said.
"But I know Medicine; why shouldn't I help?" Tang Qing did not understand Chen Yu's reasoning.
"Your medical skills are good for saving people, but saving people in here will bring you a lot of trouble." Chen Yu felt a headache coming on.
"They are all bleeding; if the bleeding isn't stopped, they will die." Tang Qing still tried to go over.
"Listen, things like this are only considered minor scenes here. If you insist on going over, then I can only say you are inviting trouble for yourself."
Chen Yu said helplessly: "You are a flower planted in a greenhouse, almost never seeing the sunlight, so you don't know how terrifying the dark side of this world really is. Believe me, don't go over; someone will handle it soon."
"Then... alright." Tang Qing looked at Chen Yu's warning gaze. She seemed to understand something, nodded slightly, and no longer insisted.
