Shota is surrounded by monsters!

"Brother!"

"Humph!"

Accompanying the Snake Princess's tense cries was Isayama Yomi's cold snort. She wished that Taotie would be drained dry by the vampire in front of her, so that she would be free.

However, Xin seemed oblivious to Shota's change and continued to cry. She showed none of the demeanor of a queen among vampires.

But who exactly did this to her?

Once he got closer, Shota finally had time to look at the wounds on her body. In her condition, she had basically been turned into a human skeleton... no, the wounds on her limbs were all different, so it seemed that it wasn't the work of one person.

Even so, it's almost impossible to seriously injure an S-class monster like that—only a monster could seriously injure her. If humans had a way to deal with her, she wouldn't be an S-class monster.

Could they be the legendary hermit immortals who live in seclusion?

Moreover... I did indeed sense the fluctuations of battle. Could such a powerful human have appeared in this city?

From any perspective, this is not a good thing. If those people can severely injure someone's heart, they can certainly severely injure or even kill him, and they can also severely injure the Nura Clan...

Were they drawn here by the recent Sesshoseki incident? Or by the Nura Clan's battle? Or were they simply tracking this vampire?

No, there's another possibility: that group of people has been hiding in the city all along, and only makes their move when a monster like Heart of the Blade appears that disrupts the balance.

After I saved her, I knew I would inevitably be attacked by the person who had hurt her so badly.

If you try to save her, she might drain you dry and kill you; if you do save her, you could be surrounded and killed by others at any time.

Even if Shota were an idiot, he wouldn't do such an unprofitable deal. But strangely enough, Shota is actually preparing to do it. The closer he gets to the edge of the blade, the more outrageous a certain impulse in Shota's heart becomes.

Could this guy be a relative?

Having vampire blood in one's own veins, it's not so strange to have a vampire relative.

Sister? Aunt? Maternal aunt? Even her own mother, maternal grandmother, or paternal grandmother could be involved.

It doesn't matter what happens, let's save them first. Do you think monsters act on instinct or use calculators to perform trigonometric functions?

Shota looked at the bloody tears sliding down her cheeks again, sighed, and just like when he fed Rea, he pulled down his collar a little and tilted his neck to make the veins on it more visible.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Renxia Xin still didn't open her eyes to look at Shota; instead, she was still apologizing.

"Stop crying!"

Shota interrupted Shin's crying and said, "Here, take it and suck it."

"..."

Renxia opened his eyes, staring at the neck so close to his own, and didn't react for a moment.

"Let's make this clear first, you can only drink one person's worth of blood."

Shota's full-body weight is about eight times that of an average person, and his blood volume is roughly one-eighth of that of an average person. While not enough to kill him, it is enough to weaken him.

"One serving?"

Yes, one serving.

It's quite amusing to see such a beautiful and noble queen display such a vulnerable expression. Perhaps she really doesn't want to die... well, who would want to die anyway?

"bring it on!"

Shota patted his neck. Since he was being sucked blood every day, it didn't matter if he was sucked a little more. Besides, in his current weakened state, the other party was obviously no match for him. If he felt it was too much, he would just escape from her mouth.

"Really...is it okay?"

For yokai, blood is extremely precious. Unlike Rea, who drinks blood simply to feed, the quality and quantity required for Heart of the Blade are on a completely different level.

"Ok, Ok."

"After I've sucked you dry, can I eat you too?"

"Can't!"

Seeing the vampire queen timidly making her request, Shota rejected her suggestion without hesitation.

"First, don't suck it dry; second, don't eat it."

"..."

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. The vampire queen didn't say anything more, just whispered a thank you.

Then she opened her mouth and bit Shota's neck, which he was extending towards her.

The sharp canine teeth pierced through Shota's thicker skin than normal and penetrated his blood vessels.

"Tsk..."

Shota frowned. Although at first it felt no different from Rea's usual biting, her blood-drawing speed was significantly faster than Rea's, and the feeling of blood being drawn out all at once was hard for him to get used to.

Not gentle at all. Instead, she's like a greedy child.

"You idiot!"

"Brother!"

The Snake Princess tried to rescue her yogurt supplier, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pry the two apart. Shota's hand had already wrapped around the back of the Blade Heart, allowing her to safely suck his blood.

However, Huang Quan's sudden appearance surprised Shota.

"Only I can kill you!"

Huang Quan's eyes revealed hatred. Although she was weak and powerless, she tried to remove the head that was about to fall from Shota's neck.

"Don't be nervous, I can control it."

Shota shook his head.

"Who's nervous!" Huang Quan said angrily, then stepped back a little and said, "Scum like you should just die."

Shota smiled nonchalantly...

"Glug, glug..."

Beneath the blade, greedily sucking Shota's blood, was not as calm as she appeared.

This taste...this aroma...

Oh, I see...

Oh, it's you.

A strange emotion welled up in Renxia's heart. She never expected that she would encounter him so unexpectedly at the end of her life.

Is fate playing tricks on me? I came here simply to find a place to belong...

However, he was indeed the most suitable partner he had been looking for.

"Hey, we're almost there."

"Glug—"

Shota patted Shin's back, reminding her that she'd reached her limit. Shota felt his steps were becoming unsteady. If she kept whipping him, he figured he'd pass out soon.

At that point, I really couldn't rely on myself anymore.

but……

Shota was startled because he discovered that the limbless blonde woman who had just bitten him had suddenly turned into a blonde girl around ten years old.

She wrapped her slender little hands around Shota's neck, her legs wrapped around his waist, and her tattered dress had become a very ordinary dress.

What's going on? Is it because they can't regenerate their limbs, so they're simply shrinking their size to preserve their strength?

No, no, that's not the point!

The important thing is that this guy is still inhaling!

If she keeps sucking like this, Shota will be completely drained. Although the rate of absorption has slowed down now, she is definitely still sucking...

"Your regenerative ability may not be as good as mine, but it still deserves some praise."

Even her voice had changed to a cute, girlish tone. Even though her teeth were still biting Shota's neck, she could still make sounds.

"..."

"What I mean is, if you don't want a big chunk of flesh to be torn off your neck, then use your intelligence to overcome your current predicament."

It's stuck again! How long will it take to remove this setting?! Seriously, why is my regenerative ability so abnormal?! Even my dad isn't this abnormal; he can insert something and then integrate it into his body almost instantly.

"Don't worry about my sharp teeth; your body is much more fragile than they are."

With blood right in front of him, even if he didn't drink it in large gulps, he would still have to sip it every now and then, like a snack. He knew that this amount of blood wouldn't be fatal; at most, it would make the guy dizzy and slightly weaken him.

"Bro?"

The Snake Princess looked at Shota; things had taken an unexpected turn.

When something like this happens, the great human lubricant slime, Comrade Mashiro, is needed to step in!

Then hurry home! If we drag this out any longer, this guy will really beat himself senseless.

"Let's go back. Snake Princess, help carry that ghost..."

"I'll go by myself."

Without saying a word, Huang Quan turned around and walked towards Xiang Tai's house. Since she couldn't escape for the time being, she might as well go home quietly rather than suffer any more humiliation.

"Fine." Shota had no choice but to stand up, letting the vampire loli hang on him.

But there's something off about being hugged like that. Or is it just that her loli form feels a bit jarring?

"Big sister, slow down. I hope I can stay sensible before I get home."

After muttering something, Shota prepared to rush home.

"Don't call me 'Big Sister'!"

"What's that called?"

"..." Blade Heart seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "It's up to you. Calling me master is also a good option."

"K".

"what is that?"

"The first letter of your name".
