Chapter 377 Shocked Dracula
Chapter 377 Shocked Dracula (Daily Life)
Hotel Transylvania.
Just like yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, and countless other nights, a late-night party for the monsters was being held here as usual.
In the hall, the lights were dim but colorful, casting all kinds of strange shadows.
Among them, the main group are the first batch of old customers who migrated with the hotel from the mysterious island. There are about a hundred of them, mainly vampires, werewolves, mummies, zombies and gargoyles.
They were either tasting red wine elegantly or tearing into the barbecue. Many of them were dancing on the dance floor. From time to time, an arm or a leg would fall off and they would pick it up and put it back.
Skeleton waiters carried trays and nimbly moved among the monsters, while ghost receptionists floated in the air, occasionally passing through walls or ceilings to serve drinks or snacks to guests.
In a corner of the hall, an octopus monster was using its eight tentacles to simultaneously operate the guitar, piano, bass and drum set, playing a strange but dynamic piece of music.
Well, let’s not worry about why octopuses can stay on the shore. After all, penguins can live in Africa…
But among all the monsters laughing and playing, there was one monster that seemed very out of place.
The camera turned to the bar, where a lonely figure was lying alone on the table.
Dracula was like an abandoned old bat at this moment, staring at the blood-like cocktail in front of him, exuding strong negative energy.
Many monsters around who had just arrived in New York today and were visiting the Hotel Transylvania for the first time originally wanted to come up and say hello to the host, but when they saw the low pressure from Dracula, they all backed off.
They looked at each other, then tacitly moved away from him, fearing that someone would be implicated if they made him unhappy.
Not to mention those old monsters who are familiar with Dracula.
As soon as they saw Dracula’s condition, they knew that the old bat must be missing his daughter again.
They all tiptoed around him, afraid of being caught by him accidentally, and listened to him chattering about how obedient and cute Mavis was when she was a child, and then crying about how rebellious his daughter was now and how she didn’t come home to see him once a month.
Especially the old monsters like Werewolf Wayne who have a close relationship with Dracula, they have heard it so many times that their ears are calloused. So now whenever they see Dracula, they will just avoid him.
Dracula shook the glass in his hand, secretly lamenting the fickleness of the world.
Unexpectedly, since coming to New York, not only his precious daughter, but even those old friends are no longer close to him.
For some reason, an idea suddenly came to him: why not find a girlfriend for himself?
“Oh no, no no!”
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he quickly shook his head to dispel it.
After all, Mavis would be angry, and he didn’t want anyone else to share his love for his daughter.
Dracula shook his head guiltily. He was thinking about whether he should secretly go to the murder house like he did before to see what Mavis was doing, when his face suddenly lit up and he turned excitedly to look at the hotel door behind him.
But then, his brows frowned again in dissatisfaction.
“boom–!”
The door was suddenly kicked open by someone from outside.
Rango swaggered in with Mavis in his left arm and a document in his right hand.
“It’s late at night, during business hours, why are you closing the door so tightly? Don’t do that again next time. People who don’t know would think we’re running a scam shop!”
As soon as Rango came in, he started pointing inside the hotel.
“And the Piranha plants at the door, too. Please, get this straight. The hotel is a business. It’s ok if you don’t put two lucky cats at the door, but why do you have so many Piranha plants? Hurry and transplant them to the garden. If I see them again next time, I’ll pluck them all!”
“And you guys!” Rango pointed at a few skeleton waiters, “You are waiters, but have you ever seen a waiter who is a skeleton with a lisp? You can’t even speak clearly. Do you think you can be waiters? Change it! You will be in charge of room service from now on.”
“Starting tomorrow, all the waiters will be replaced by bunny monsters or cat monsters. Oh, and I’ll ask Lucifer to get a few hundred succubi. Bunny girls plus succubi will be the only way to attract customers!”
“Well, this chandelier also needs to be replaced.”
Rango pointed at the green will-o’-the-wisp chandelier on the ceiling and said unhappily, “I felt uncomfortable when I saw this kind of green light in Mysterious Island. This light directly made my head green. This is not a good sign. I will change it to an LED one tomorrow!”
After saying this, Rango still felt unsatisfied and began to give advice on the food in the hotel.
“And the same goes for the kitchen. You guys are guilty of letting a rat cook.”
He was halfway through his speech when he suddenly remembered that Ratatouille had been kidnapped home by Teddy a long time ago and was now the official chef of Murder Manor.
So Rango changed his tone and started criticizing everyone’s attire.
His attitude as a host stunned all the guests present.
Many new monster guests curiously asked the old guests beside them: “Hey, I just came from Zootopia and I’m not familiar with New York. Who is this human? Why is he so arrogant and treating the Hotel Transylvania like his own home?”
“Shh~ keep your voice down.” The guest next to him was obviously a familiar customer of the hotel. He explained in a low voice: “We can’t afford to offend this human. Do you know Winchester? This guy is the legendary Rango Winchester who killed Satan and killed Jupiter with his own hands.”
“Of course, although he is terrifyingly powerful, Dracula and his group of old monsters may not be afraid of him if they are combined. But the most important thing is that this human is Dracula’s son-in-law!”
“Did you see the woman he’s hugging? That’s Dracula’s precious daughter. Just think about it, a human being with such strong power married Dracula’s daughter. In the future, this hotel will most likely belong to him. How can he not be arrogant?”
“I see…” The monster from Zootopia nodded in sudden enlightenment.
But then, another voice interrupted from behind.
The one who was speaking was a gargoyle. Unlike this group of monsters, he was the first group of monsters that migrated from the mysterious island with the hotel, and he had a more thorough understanding of the hotel’s affairs.
He sneered at first, then said in a muffled voice: “Don’t think that this human being can inherit the hotel just because he is Dracula’s son-in-law. As old-timers in the hotel, we all know that Dracula has always looked down on Rango’s human identity. If it weren’t for Mavis’s love for him, and if Rango’s strength was not strong enough, I’m afraid Dracula wouldn’t even let him in! And he wants to inherit the hotel? Dream on.”
The monster from Zootopia nodded in understanding, and then an excited expression appeared on his face.
After all, human society is interesting. Monsters can marry humans. Why don’t you find a human wife yourself?
“Rango——!”
Just as the monsters in the hotel were daydreaming, an extremely sharp roar suddenly rang out.
Many monsters with weaker strength even covered their ears in pain at this roar, and all looked behind them in horror. Dracula rushed over from the bar with a gloomy face.
He pointed at Rango and asked angrily, “What do you mean? Taking my daughter away is not enough, are you so impatient to come and rob my hotel?”
Rango, who was about to tell the old man the good news, felt a little embarrassed when Dracula pointed at him. He scratched his head and explained, “Old man, I’m just pointing out the areas that need improvement in the hotel. Look, the carnivorous plant at the door is so scary, what if it scares the guests? And those skeleton waiters can’t even speak clearly, how can they serve the guests well?”
“Old, old man?” Dracula was so angry that his beard stood up. He said angrily, “This is my hotel! I can decorate it however I want! It’s not your turn to tell me what to do!”
Seeing this, Mavis quickly interrupted and said, “Dad, Rango is also doing this for the good of the hotel. Look, the problems he mentioned do exist.”
When Dracula heard that his beloved daughter was also speaking for Rango, he felt aggrieved and angry.
He waved his cloak, turned around and prepared to go back to the house to complain to the portrait of his dead wife.
However, just as he took the first step, Rango suddenly stood in front of him, staring at him with a strange expression on his face.
Dracula was stunned, and then his brows immediately frowned.
In his opinion, this kid Rango was most likely a man whose mentality had become inflated after killing the God King recently. He wanted to practice a few moves with him and shatter the image of his father as a great and invincible person in front of Mavis.
“Okay, okay, I’m going to kick you out of the hotel in front of Mei today!” Dracula raised his hand angrily, ready to strike first and turn Rango into an animal to make him look bad in public.
But in the next second, a color ultrasound photo was suddenly taken out of the file bag by Rango and stuffed heavily into his arms.
Rango showed a strange smile on his face and said, “Old man, don’t be so grumpy. Take a look at what’s on it first.”
Dracula looked down at the color ultrasound photo in his hand, and his body froze in place.
After a long while, he raised his head cautiously and looked at Mavis expectantly: “Mavis… could this be…”
Mavis smiled happily. Before she could say anything, Rango answered first: “That’s right! Mavis is pregnant, and she’s having twins. Do you see those two little balls? They are a combination of all the good looks of Mavis and me.”
Rango put his hand on Dracula’s shoulder, raised his brows and asked, “Well, buddy, do you still have an opinion about my actions just now? I prepared the hotel for my son, your grandson, in advance. Just think about it, this hotel is full of skulls and ghosts, and there are also carnivorous plants. What if my son is scared?”
But Dracula seemed to be still in shock and had not reacted. He was frozen in place like a statue under a spell.
After a long time, he suddenly shook as if he was electrocuted, and his face, which was as unshakable as thunder and looked as if everyone owed him millions, became lively again.
The old bat’s eyes were as big as bells, and his mouth was stretched almost to his ears, revealing an unprecedented, exaggerated and hilarious smile.
“Hahahahaha…”
He was as excited as a little child. He picked up Mavis and spun her around like when she was a child. He lifted her high into the air and shouted excitedly, “Mavis! My baby girl, you are pregnant! Oh my God! I’m going to be a grandfather! Hahaha…”
Mavis was so amused by his move that she could only helplessly watch the man in front of her who doted on her and gave her all the fatherly love since she was a child, jumping up and down in the hotel like a madman, announcing to everyone the good news that he was going to be a grandfather.
“Hey, did you hear that, Wayne? I’m going to be a grandfather!” Dracula shouted excitedly to the werewolf Wayne.
Wayne looked at his old friend’s happy expression and curled his lips in disdain.
He has been a father thousands of times and has long been immune to this feeling.
But…Grandpa?
He has never had this identity before.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look at his little daughter Winnie, who was lying on the sofa, her chin supported by her hands, a pacifier in her mouth, and her eyes never moved away from Rango.
Well, no, no, Winnie is too young.
Dracula then showed off to his other old friends, like a child who had just got a new toy, and told everyone he met: “I’m going to be a grandfather! Twins! Hahahaha…”
His voice was so loud that it almost blew the roof off the hotel.
Rango scratched his head in confusion.
How come this old bat forgot about me once he found out his daughter was pregnant?
He didn’t even think about the fact that if it weren’t for him, how could Mavis have gotten pregnant? He was the biggest contributor.
So he coughed lightly, ready to steal the old bat’s limelight and say something.
But Dracula got there first and kicked Rango right on the butt, kicking him out of the Hotel Transylvania like a ball, cursing, “Damn human boy, you dare to mess around before you even get married! Now go back and prepare for the wedding!”
A hole appeared directly above the inn, and Rango’s figure disappeared from the sight of many monsters like a meteor.
His screams echoed in the air: “Hey! Old man! I’m the child’s father!”
Dracula excitedly put his daughter down, and then like a curious child, he put his head on Mavis’s belly, as if he wanted to listen to the baby’s heartbeat.
His ears were almost pressed against Mavis’ belly, and his face was full of anticipation and excitement.
But Mavis pushed her father unhappily and said, “Rango is the father of my child. Dad, you are not allowed to treat Rango like this again. Rango has always been very kind to me.”
When Dracula heard this, he suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart.
He couldn’t help wanting to scold his daughter: Are you okay? Are you so okay that you keep so many women at home?
But when he thought about his daughter who had just become pregnant, he didn’t dare to say anything to anger her. He could only follow his daughter’s wishes and force a smile.
“Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll listen to you.”
Then he turned around and excitedly shouted that he would hold the biggest party to celebrate becoming a grandfather!
Many monsters cheered, and the entire hotel was instantly plunged into a sea of carnival.
———-
At the same time, in Yellowstone Park, unknown kilometers away from the hotel.
Deep in the volcano, magma is rolling and hot air is rising.
A giant winged snake slowly opened its eyes in the darkness, and the surrounding magma instantly exploded, as if welcoming its awakening.
