Do you think this world is serious?

Ji Zi chuckled softly, then walked briskly towards the alley on the right, leaving only her light words drifting into Chen Xiuming's ears on the night breeze.

Chen Xiuming chuckled and then stepped into the alley on the left.

Although Canghai City has developed into a first-tier city, there are still many intricate and narrow alleys in the urban area.

As the footsteps rose and fell, the atmosphere around them gradually became heavy.

Chen Xiuming wasn't sure if the alley's atmosphere was originally like this, or if it was because this world bubble had already entered its demise, but his own considerable power gave him strong confidence and assurance.

Furthermore, the presence of Kiana and Janna by his side provides him with a great sense of security.

The streetlights and moonlight intertwine in the narrow alley, casting distorted and magnified shadows that resemble lurking aliens, creating a subtle sense of unease.

Chen Xiuming walked slowly but firmly, completely ignoring the shadows around him that seemed to come alive.

"Meow~"

Anila let out a soft meow, which sounded very faint even in the quiet of the night.

As the cat's meow rang out, the surrounding shadows returned to normal, as if the distortion was Chen Xiuming's illusion.

At the next corner, he saw a weak, white-haired girl lying on the ground, unable to get up.

Anila licked her fingertip and commented bluntly, "It's good to be young, you can fall asleep the moment your head hits the pillow, meow~"

"Anila, if you can't speak properly, then speak less."

"But this is a very popular saying on the internet, meow."

"Learn less of those things, or they'll make you increasingly abstract."

Anila didn't quite understand what Chen Xiuming meant by "abstract," but she still obediently followed his instructions and made a guarantee: "I won't learn those popular sayings anymore, meow."

Chen Xiuming didn't continue speaking. Instead, he stepped closer to the white-haired girl and squatted down in front of her to check on her condition.

Although the white-haired girl was very weak, she was not completely unconscious.

"Haah...haah..."

At this moment, the girl couldn't help but let out slightly rapid breathing, her adorable, tender face filled with lingering pain.

Chen Xiuming bent down and picked up the white-haired girl who was panting heavily. The girl seemed to realize that someone had picked her up and couldn't help but urge him on in a hurried and intermittent manner.

"Quick...haa...go..."

"Get out of here quickly..."

The white-haired girl frowned, her delicate brows furrowed, her eyes tightly shut in pain, and she uttered indistinct syllables between her lips.

"Huh? Isn't that Trillie Meow?"

Anila then saw the white-haired girl's face clearly and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "But it's strange that Beatrice is missing a pair of rabbit ears, meow."

"She is the Trillion of this world, but she shouldn't be called Trillion."

"I see, meow."

Anila lazily licked her fingertips and continued to ask, "What should Master do with her, meow? She's not a normal human, meow."

"Let's help her recover from her weakness first."

As they spoke, Chen Xiuming moved closer to the white-haired girl, maintaining a rather intimate posture with her face pressed against his neck.

The skin on her neck, so close to her mouth, seemed to awaken the white-haired girl's "DNA," causing her to suddenly open her blood-red pupils, which were unlike any human's.

"Blood, blood...give me blood..."

Before she finished speaking, the girl revealed sharp canines beneath her cherry-colored lips, sending a cold and sharp sensation through Chen Xiuming's skin.

Unfortunately, the white-haired girl was too weak, and her sharp fangs failed to pierce Chen Xiuming's neck. She could only make a very cute "meow" sound before losing consciousness while still biting down.

Chapter 128: First Embrace Under the Moon.

Chen Xiuming belatedly realized that the girl had lost the ability to move due to lack of "food" and could not even stay conscious, so she was naturally unable to bite through his skin to suck his blood.

"Anila, remember to heal me later."

"Okay, meow~"

Anila is the "Herrscher of Death," and her Herrscher powers can heal most injuries, which is why Chen Xiuming dared to let the white-haired girl drink his blood without any scruples.

At this time, the white-haired girl does not have the ability to actively drink blood, so he needs to actively cut a wound and feed the white-haired girl fresh blood.

Chen Xiuming picked up the white-haired girl, changed her intimate position where she was biting his neck, and then used Honkai energy to form a dagger, gently slicing open his wrist.

Pain swept through his nerves, causing him to frown slightly, and at the same time, he immediately placed his wrist against the white-haired girl's lips.

The flowing blood soaked the white-haired girl's cherry-colored lips, flowing into her mouth through the gaps between her lips and teeth, causing her body to swallow unconsciously.

As she continued to swallow Chen Xiuming's blood, her condition improved rapidly, and within a few breaths she was able to actively absorb Chen Xiuming's blood.

The white-haired girl's saliva seemed to have an anesthetic effect, quickly relieving the pain in Chen Xiuming's wrist, leaving only a slight numbness.

Chen Xiuming's blood has excellent effects.

The white-haired girl not only recovered her physical condition quickly, but the physical pain caused by hunger also disappeared.

Before long, a strong feeling of fullness overwhelmed her body, allowing her consciousness to regain control and making her aware of what had just happened.

The pink tongue gently licked Chen Xiuming's wrist, licking away the constantly overflowing blood while also making Chen Xiuming feel a tingling and slippery sensation.

Upon seeing this, Anila immediately activated her Herrscher powers to heal Chen Xiuming's wrist cut and replenish the blood he had lost.

Kiana stood beside Chen Xiuming, her golden eyes reflecting the complex expression of the white-haired girl, who seemed to be deep in thought, contemplating whether or not to kill the white-haired girl who had injured Chen Xiuming.

Janna sensed Kiana's thoughts, reached out and pressed her shoulder, and shook her head slightly at her.

Kiana stared at Chen Xiuming silently for a few seconds before choosing to remain silent and not make a move rashly.

Only after licking the remaining blood off Chen Xiuming's wrist did the white-haired girl look at Chen Xiuming with a complicated expression.

"...Humans, why?"

"Do you mean why we feed you blood?"

"..."

The white-haired girl remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded without a word.

Chen Xiuming fell into deep thought, devising a reply to the white-haired girl.

The white-haired girl's name is "Theresa," but unlike the characters in [The Original World], she doesn't have the surname "Apocalypse."

In Chen Xiuming's memory, the girl had another well-known name, "Moonlight Embrace".

“I don’t want you to attack other people, and…”

Chen Xiuming paused for a moment, then continued, "I know a girl who looks exactly like you."

"what……"

Under the moonlight, Chu Yong sighed softly, a smile suddenly curving her lips. "What a lame excuse, but... human, I don't smell any 'lie' on you."

As if she had thought of something, Yuexia Chuyong suddenly revealed a numb expression like a doll, yet a hint of hope quietly emerged.

"Human, would you like to know the story of a girl connected to these events?"

"Appreciate further details."

There is still a long time before the investigation ends, and even though Chen Xiuming already knows about the experience of "Moonlight Embrace," he doesn't mind learning about it again.

Under the moonlight, she nodded gently, still held in Chen Xiuming's arms, and spoke in a low voice, filled with deep sorrow and melancholy, as she recounted her experiences.

In her words, her own experience became "a friend's experience," while inadvertently revealing simple, ordinary, and heartbreaking wishes.

—I simply wanted to understand this world that I had never been exposed to before.

If circumstances allow, she also wants to experience the world firsthand with curiosity and anticipation.

This is actually a wish that cannot be called a "wish," yet the moonlit embrace clumsily denies that it is her own wish and pushes it onto a "friend" who never existed.

The Moonlit Embrace is a "doll" created by "Grandpa".

From the moment she was born, her life had no meaning.

My daily life was monotonous; there was nothing but a room filled with books that resembled a cage.

She could only communicate with her "grandfather," who created her, and her "sister," who rarely woke up.

Day after day, year after year...

Moonlit Embrace has always been fulfilling "Grandpa's" expectations without feeling the slightest dissatisfaction, because this is the reason she was created, and it is also proof that she is needed.

Although her sleeping sister rarely wakes up, every time she does, she gives her a very gentle smile.

Only at times like these can she feel the meaning of her existence.

Even so, Moonlit Embrace still has a small wish: to go out and see the world described in books.

Later, with the help of her "older sister," she escaped the "cage" she had been unable to leave since birth.

The canary, freed from its cage, should have been soaring freely, but instead it jumped into an even bigger "prison".

Having no knowledge of the outside world, Luna Harpie oversimplified everything; "vampires" cannot integrate normally into human society.

No matter how hard she tried to suppress it, the vampire's physical instinct to crave human blood was uncontrollable.

The closer she got to humans, the less she could control her body.

Whenever she regained her senses, only the blood remaining at the corner of her mouth would replace her memory and tell her what had happened.

……

The story of "a friend" that Yuexia Chuyong had just told her ended there. She quietly gazed at Chen Xiuming, her face showing no emotion commensurate with the weight of her words.

This kind of calm can create an extremely oppressive and dull atmosphere, and it can also easily make people feel that "any words of comfort will seem insignificant."

However, Chen Xiuming did not attempt to comfort Yuexia Chuyong with words.

"Would you like to consider staying at my house for a while? Although my house isn't big, it will at least keep you from going hungry."

"Human, do you know what you're saying?"
