When The Silver Bell Of Charlotte's Pharmacy Rings (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 163
Willow’s voice was as flat as if she were evaluating the taste of yesterday’s bread, yet it sounded all the more frightening precisely for that reason.
Charlotte and Matiel, rendered speechless, quietly gazed at Willow. Among those gathered around the fireplace, only Whiskey appeared calm.
“Do you two know why Machi keeps coming to my house?”
Charlotte glanced sideways at Matiel and spoke.
“Vampires have a kind of homing instinct. Right after becoming a vampire… when they haven’t yet developed enough intelligence to be fully aware of their own existence, they seek out easy prey.”
To everyone’s astonishment, Willow burst into laughter at those words.
“So that kid’s gone and gotten stupid after dying and coming back to life? He was sharper than anyone I knew. He keeps showing up here even though he knows I’ll give him a proper thrashing.”
“Willow, this isn’t the time for such remarks. He won’t give up easily. He’ll stop at nothing—using increasingly desperate means and methods—to entice you and achieve his goal. If we have no way to defend ourselves…”
At that moment, Willow suddenly wore a self-assured expression, carefully set Whiskey down on the sofa, and rose from her seat. She then opened a low shelf in a corner of the kitchen and rummaged through it for quite some time.
“What could she be looking for?”
Matiel murmured to himself, and Charlotte shook her head.
“I don’t know. I just hope it’s not water she’s claiming is holy water from some river. Or maybe she’s about to present cheap sapphires or peridots as talismans.”
However, what Willow pulled out from under the shelf was neither holy water nor cheap trinkets sold in tourist towns. Both Charlotte and Matiel’s eyes widened in shock as they saw the hunting rifle and the leather bullet pouch she held.
“Miss, I offer prayers of thanks to the land, the farmers, and God before every meal—but I’m no fool who believes water scooped from a village stream is holy.”
Had she overheard their whispered conversation? Charlotte’s ears turned slightly red. Despite her advanced age, Willow seemed to have keen eyesight—and, as it now turned out, hearing as sharp as any young person’s.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.

Matiel is behaving childishly regarding Willa & her ‘using tricks’ to survive. Staring away from his host and refusing to engage in conversation? That’s ridiculous behavior.
Could someone be trying to frame the crown prince?
Yes, kill the vampire before it reveals it’s secrets. This guy is still suspicious. The easiest way to avoid being seen as a suspect is to become a victim.
