Madam Jade

Chapter 324 Ancient Castle Terrors Part 24

With the werewolves driven off, the safe house seemed to lose its purpose.

Zhu Yilian said to Wang Jing, "Your room is like a crime scene. Why don't you sleep with me? My bed is clean, there's just a horribly mangled corpse in the bathtub."

"Can we share a room now?" Yuan Yuan's room also had dismembered limbs. While they had gotten used to it, they would obviously choose cleaner rooms if available.

Ning Wei nodded, "My room is also clean. You can come sleep in it."

"No need. Zhu Yilian's and Tang Tang's rooms are clean. Tonight, the four of us will share two rooms. As for Teacher Mei and the others, we won't worry about them."

The four girls had arranged their rooms. After receiving Ning Wei's consent, they immediately went inside.

"We should sleep separately. The werewolves won't be coming back tonight anyway," Song Zhi said.

Ning Wei walked to her room door, "Arrange it however you like. I'm so tired I could fall asleep standing up. Just shout if you need anything."

As fast as they had experienced the thrilling night, everyone fell asleep as soon as they lay down in bed.

This was the third night in the castle, but the first one where they felt most at ease.

They had fought with the werewolves for two hours, and now everyone's snores were as loud as wolf howls.

Once truly asleep, time passed incredibly quickly.

Before they could get enough rest, the morning clock chimed.

Ning Wei's team opened their eyes and doors with synchronized yawns, walking downstairs with tired expressions.

They were late. Sheng Kaiwei's team was already gathered in the lobby.

Tang Tang and the others felt immensely proud seeing the astonished looks on their faces.

However, they hadn't forgotten that the fierce fighting sounds from last night had not attracted the attention of this group.

While they understood, it didn't mean they didn't care.

"Were all of you out last night?" There were three werewolf bodies on the floor. It was impossible for one person to have achieved this, so Sheng Kaiwei asked.

He primarily couldn't believe that this group would actually leave the safe house to protect their teammates.

Seeing the scene in the lobby, one could guess how brutally they had fought the werewolves last night.

"Didn't you hear anything last night?" Ning Wei asked Sheng Kaiwei with a cold gaze.

Sheng Kaiwei was very guilty and couldn't meet Ning Wei's eyes.

He had been trying to convince himself that it was just a cooperative relationship and there was no need to risk their lives.

"How many werewolves were there last night? Just these three?" Sheng Kaiwei continued to probe for information.

However, Ning Wei had no intention of engaging with him. To expect to gain the fruits of others' hard work without contributing anything? No one was a fool, were they?

As for Tang Tang and the others, they were even less likely to bother with Sheng Kaiwei.

Their willingness to protect their teammates last night, disregarding their own lives, was something Sheng Kaiwei and his group could never reach.

Through last night's ordeal, their bonds had grown stronger, and they were no longer willing to associate with Sheng Kaiwei's group.

In any case, Sheng Kaiwei's group was inferior to them in both intelligence and strength. Now, Sheng Kaiwei's group should be the one begging for their cooperation and protection, not acting as if they were still on equal footing, as Sheng Kaiwei had implied.

No one even spared them a glance. Bai Yang and the other girls felt awkward.

To say they hadn't heard anything last night would be too hypocritical.

Especially Bai Yang and Lian Yun. One was an old acquaintance, and the other was a girl Ning Wei had helped. Yet, facing the situation last night, they had chosen to feign ignorance.

In the face of mortal danger, they had chosen to retreat, thus severing ties with Ning Wei's group.

Just then, Wu Qing appeared, exclaiming dramatically, "I didn't expect you to be so capable, to actually kill werewolves. We can add three more sofas now."

It turned out that each sofa represented a werewolf hide. Currently, there were only two sofas in the lobby, meaning previous teams had only killed two werewolves.

For ordinary people, this was a very good achievement.

"I wonder who killed the werewolves. I'm really curious." Wu Qing's gaze swept over everyone. Others lowered their heads, but Ning Wei met her gaze directly, silently answering her question.

"I knew you could do it," Wu Qing praised.

Ning Wei smiled faintly. She couldn't ascertain Wu Qing's relationship with the werewolves, so she decided to speak less and err on the side of caution.

"Can we eat now?" Ning Wei's stomach was rumbling. Last night had consumed a lot of her energy.

"Of course." Wu Qing clapped her hands, and a group of beautiful maids walked out.

Perhaps to celebrate the death of three werewolves, this morning's breakfast was the most lavish they had ever had.

"Are you sending us off?" The food was so abundant that Ning Wei couldn't believe it. Was it a final meal before execution?

"Isn't this our way of thanking you for adding new furniture to the castle?"

"In that case, may I make another request? It shouldn't be too much to ask, right?" Ning Wei seized the opportunity to make a request.

Wu Qing extended her hand, "Please, guests, make your requests. I will try my best to fulfill them."

Ning Wei smiled faintly, "It's actually very simple. As you can see, we are all injured. To thank us for killing three werewolves, could you have the maids bring a medical kit for us to treat our wounds? Of course, if you have any special medicines that can help heal wounds, we would be very grateful."

Their injuries would affect their future actions. If another attack happened tonight, lives might be lost.

Therefore, while it was daytime, Ning Wei wanted to secure more benefits for her teammates.

A medical kit was a small request, as Lian Yun had used one before.

The difficult part was the special medicine Ning Wei desired. It wasn't that it didn't exist, but it was quite precious.

The bodies injured by werewolves naturally required werewolf ingredients for medicine.

Besides their hides, the werewolves' insides contained even more valuable treasures.

Items like their hearts and livers were rare and valuable.

Under the rules, only guests could harm the werewolves. Wu Qing, with all her abilities rendered useless, was also very frustrated.

"This request is a bit difficult. How do you intend to thank me?" Before the matter was settled, Wu Qing began to haggle.

After Wu Qing appeared, Ning Wei had watched her for a long time. She was certain that Wu Qing was not angry about the werewolves' deaths. On the contrary, there was a hint of undisguised joy and relief in her eyes.

Therefore, Ning Wei boldly guessed that Wu Qing also wished for the werewolves to die.

With this thought in mind, Ning Wei immediately replied, "There are still four nights left to fight werewolves. We can take care of three in one night. Don't forget how many guests there are here. If they all join the fight, how many werewolves do you think will die?"
