Chapter 333: Shipped It!
Tang Linlang, returning victorious, received Adele’s admiring gaze as she wished. Of course, she knew that Adele was deliberately putting on a little fan-girl act to amuse her. But Tang Linlang accepted it all. After all, this kind of unspoken understanding was what made life interesting. The two girls walked into the “couples’ theme” experience center, under the envious gazes of everyone around. For the Eastern Capital, where social customs weren’t as open as in the Vampire territory, their actions were considered quite brave.
But Adele’s bravery instantly crumbled when she saw a large spider suddenly descend from the wall. Like a deflated balloon, all her courage escaped with a scream.
“Ahhh!”
Tang Linlang embraced her and, after a moment of panic, realized it was just a toy spider. The girl couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling that it was different from what she had imagined. Initially, Tang Linlang thought Adele would bravely protect her, and she would just whimper in her arms. Later that night, she could pretend to be shy and use a kiss to stop Adele from teasing her, followed by a wonderful, indescribable night.
But in reality, Tang Linlang felt like she was the calmer one. As for Adele, it was already good enough that she dared to open her eyes during the transition between scenes. However, this gap moe was also very cute. Timid and adorable during the escape room, not even daring to open her eyes, but at night, she would transform into a lustful queen, sending Tang Linlang to cloud nine again and again. Wasn’t that great!?
Tang Linlang seemed to have settled into her submissive role. This was probably related to her personality. Linlang was inherently obedient and passive, while Adele was a cunning, aggressive, and greedy girl.
“Just kidding, welcome, esteemed guests,” a young staff member greeted them.
Adele’s expression said—I don’t find that funny at all!
The staff member, realizing his joke fell flat, laughed awkwardly and began to introduce the experience center’s couple-friendly projects. The first recommendation was naturally the horror haunted house with a beautiful and romantic love story. But Adele didn’t think horror and romance went well together. This was just a script designed to trick couples into spending money!
Next was the puzzle and adventure escape room. This one was more conventional and less scary, but unlike the first one, where couples stayed close together, this escape room had sections where they had to separate.
Finally, there was a fantasy-themed story-driven escape room! It mainly told the story of the emotional entanglement between a vampire and a vampire hunter, requiring players to find a series of clues to piece together the beginning and end of this touching love story.
Tang Linlang’s gaze was immediately fixed on this option. The attentive young staff member asked, “This is our newly launched escape room, would you two like to try it?”
Adele thought for a moment. Compared to the first horror escape room, this one was more acceptable, less scary. And compared to the second pure puzzle-solving one, it was more interesting and engaging. More importantly, Adele clearly saw the interest in Tang Linlang’s eyes! After all, the story of a vampire and a vampire hunter…wasn’t that about her and Tang Linlang!? It would be a pity to miss such a fitting theme.
So Adele readily decided, “We’ll take this one! How much?” Adele was never vague when it came to paying.
“We have several packages. The original price is 399, but we have a special offer at 288, and a premium couple’s experience upgrade package for 599, originally priced at 599.”
“Which one would you like?”
“Do you have a 998 ‘So Good You Can’t Breathe’ package?”
“Uh…” Adele stunned the staff member. A 998 ‘So Good You Can’t Breathe’ package? That would have to include an overnight stay at a love hotel. But Adele’s suggestion wasn’t bad. The staff member would report it to the boss. They just needed to reach a cooperation agreement with a nearby hotel. After finishing the escape room, they could seamlessly transfer the excited couples to the hotel, opening up a new battlefield.
Adele’s casual remark had actually revealed a great business opportunity.
“Just kidding, the 599 package is fine, Linlang, let’s do this one!” The girl said enthusiastically to the girl beside her.
Tang Linlang blushed, pursed her lips, and softly replied like a shy little woman, “Okay.”
Next, the escape room opened, and Adele and Tang Linlang entered hand in hand. Because it was a story-driven puzzle escape room, it wasn’t really about escaping. Adele and Tang Linlang had to play the roles of a vampire and a vampire hunter respectively, to reenact the story and find a way to break the curse of their forbidden love. The setting was that vampires and vampire hunters couldn’t be together, but if they completed the task, they could be together! There would be some NPCs playing villain roles, and Adele and Tang Linlang needed to use puzzle-solving, intelligence, or other methods to defeat them.
At the starting point, they needed to choose their respective roles. Tang Linlang seemed a bit stunned, as if she hadn’t expected that they needed to choose roles. Adele, on the other hand, looked excited.
“I want to play the vampire hunter!” Hearing this, Tang Linlang instantly blushed. She felt like Adele was implying something… Was this “play” vampire hunter the real kind of “play”? But Adele actually chose to play the “vampire hunter.” This role reversal was quite interesting. After all, Tang Linlang was a descendant of vampire hunters, and Adele was half-vampire, the prototype of a vampire.
The staff members of the experience center probably never imagined that the roles they were playing were fake, but these two were the real deal!
Adele received the weapon representing the vampire hunter, a Desert Eagle made of mithril. Don’t ask why it was a Desert Eagle, it was just cool! As for Tang Linlang, she received the ability of immortality.
The first chapter of the story was set in the Wild West. After a bloody battle, the vampire hunter Adele successfully killed her nemesis and rescued a girl who was being used as blood food by the vampire. But that girl was actually the vampire herself, Adele’s nemesis, the vampire Tang Linlang, known as the Flower of Mourning.
Tang Linlang, playing the vampire, disguised herself as an injured human girl and traveled with Adele. But in reality, she was constantly thinking about regaining her strength and killing the vampire hunter before her. However, the fastest way to regain her strength was to drink blood. And Adele, the powerful vampire hunter…was she the best blood provider? Moreover, did Adele really not notice her vampire identity? Or did she actually know, but was tired of the past hostility, so she pretended to be oblivious, wanting to just…be with Tang Linlang?
This plot, I’m totally shipping it! Adele exclaimed internally.
