The hall suddenly quieted down, vampires ceased speaking, and werewolves were silent as well. Xu Yi, as an eavesdropper, felt as if a cat were scratching at his heart.
"I suppose the Progenitor can understand our situation." A vampire suddenly let out a sigh, then cursed out loud, "It's all because of the damned Wasting Disease!"
The werewolves and vampires in the hall made no movements, and Xu Yi's courage gradually grew. He peered into the hall through a gap in the balcony.
Because he was closer now, he saw some details he hadn't noticed before; these werewolves and vampires all looked a bit off.
They were naked, so it was clear to see the condition of their bodies—the female vampires' skin was pale, the female werewolves' muscles seemed more elastic...
Of course, these were not the main point; the main point was that their bodies, more or less, all exhibited signs of emaciation.
