You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

Vera, who had summoned the [Blood Pact] mark, stared in disbelief at the little boy in front of her who looked seven or eight parts like Shilo, and finally confirmed that his identity was indeed Shilo himself!

However, the shock only lasted for a moment before Vera recognized Shiloh's current condition.

"That's true. After all, there have been three divine descents in a row, so it's normal for the energy supply to be insufficient... But it's really terrifying. Three divine descents are unheard of and defy common sense."

Chapter 204 Elbow, Inside! (Bonus chapter tomorrow)

Vera crossed her arms, rested her chin on them, and leaned over the edge of the bed, tilting her head to look at Shiloh, a hint of amusement appearing in her scarlet eyes.

"Wow, what a peculiar little man!"

Wei stretched out her fingers and gently stroked Xi Luo's chin, a smile playing on her lips.

The miracles Shiro displayed during the battle with Slaanesh confirmed Vera's suspicions once again—he was the key to her destined goal!

Vera eagerly leaned forward and forcefully smacked Shiloh on the neck, savoring the sweetness of his blood through her skin, revealing her gleaming white fangs.

With its fangs pressed against her carotid artery, Vera wanted to go further down, but she stopped herself, resisting the temptation to withdraw her teeth, swallowing hard to moisten her throat.

No, it's not the right time yet.

Vera suppressed her excitement; if she were to drink blood now, Natalia would easily discover it.

If she finds out, it won't be fun anymore, hehe~

Vera smiled silently, then vanished into the night without a sound.

Lying in bed, Xi Luo frowned, sensing a malicious intent even in her sleep.

The next day, Shiloh was woken up by Natalia.

To be precise, I was awakened by the aroma of the food my aunt brought me.

As Xiluo ate the breakfast her aunt fed her bite by bite, she comfortably closed her eyes.

"Auntie, what are we going to do today?"

"Siro asked."

Natalia thought for a moment. The materials for the ceremony weren't ready yet, and she also needed to take care of Shilo's health in the meantime. So, after some deliberation, she handed him a glittering, blood-red agate and said:

"This is a blood crystal stone used to restore your qi and blood. Use it to strengthen your body during this time. Your aunt will complete the preparations for the ritual as soon as possible."

Shilo nodded and took the Bloodstone from Natalia's hand. Crimson energy threads instantly spread from Shilo's palm to his entire body, stimulating his blood and qi, and causing his blood vessels to swell.

"call--"

Xi Luo felt a surge of energy, as if every pore on his body was opening up, and he felt a subtle sense of sublimation within his body.

Surprised, Xi Luo twirled the blood essence stone in her hand, thinking to herself that her aunt was indeed a wealthy woman, possessing such a treasure that could nourish a divinely descended body.

"How about we take this time to revisit the manor's surroundings?"

Natalia asked with a smile.

"Okay, Auntie, you should come out and keep me company as soon as possible."

Xi Luo could tell that her aunt seemed to enjoy her childhood dependence on her, so she spoke in the same tone she used in their old conversations.

After Natalia left, Shiloh stroked the smooth red agate, strolled along the polished jade-like path, and headed towards his aunt's back garden.

However, just as Shiloh reached a small pavilion filled with bright red roses, he suddenly sensed something and looked back with a slight frown.

wow-

Turning around, there was no one there, but Xi Luo's vision was covered by a pair of slightly damp, soft hands, and he felt as if the back of his head was enveloped by a pair of plump fruits.

Guess who I am~

"First Release by ??0??u.com Reading Club"

A deep, magnetic voice breathed softly in my ear, carrying a hint of playfulness.

Hearing the voice, Shiloh asked in surprise, "Vera? What are you doing here?"

Hearing Xi Luo call out her name accurately, Vera giggled, released her hands, and turned Xi Luo around by the shoulders. Looking down at him, she lifted his chin, gazed into his dark eyes, and chuckled half-seriously, "I was thinking that if you didn't recognize me, I'd gouge your eyes out~"

"Anyway, your vampire body can regenerate, so consider this pain a lesson learned."

Upon hearing this, Shiloh twitched his lips, reached out and brushed Vera's wrist away, then gave her a light slap on the buttocks, saying, "Answer me first!"

"Tsk, so unromantic."

Vera crossed her arms, seemingly unbothered by Shiloh's offense.

Rather, seeing such a tiny creature like Shilo dare to be so rude to him was rather...pleasant.

Vera suddenly shuddered, then, as if nothing had happened, solemnly recounted the whole story of how she had lived there.

Shiloh hadn't expected such a coincidence. He then looked Vera over and asked, "So, you really have been 'resurrected'?"

"In a broad sense, yes, that's true~"

Looking at Vera's smiling face, Shiloh was a little confused. Logically speaking, the power of the tyrannical chosen gods should not be able to do these things. With the power of those evil gods, what they "resurrect" is just a puppet made of abyssal energy. How could they possibly create a beautiful woman like Vera?

"Hey~ I'm telling you, what's your relationship with Natalia?"

Vera knelt down, cupped Shiloh's face in her hands, and gently rubbed and kneaded it.

Shiloh looked at Vera with displeasure, knowing that his current appearance was too imposing, which made this woman so presumptuous.

A woman like Vera, unless you subdue her, will always talk to you with this condescending attitude, which is extremely disadvantageous in the competition within the [Blood Bond].

So, instead of answering Vera's question, Shiloh took her hand and dragged her into the house.

Looking at Shiloh's small, stubborn back, Vera's cold and beautiful face revealed a "so cute" smile.

Vera was aware of what Shilo wanted to do by dragging her along. After signing the contract, in order to win over Shilo's heart, Vera researched a lot of relevant information and gained a general understanding of the matter.

According to the biological development process, at this stage, Shiloh is probably just like a small insect, so what can it do?

Hehe~

Vera laughed gleefully, not wanting to let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by. She was determined to take advantage of Shilo's carelessness and crush his psychological defenses with the absolute force of a cart crushing a child!

thump

Upon entering the room, Vera was somewhat roughly thrown onto the bed by Shiloh.

Vera relaxed and stretched out her body, watching with interest as Shilo climbed up the edge of the bed, and laughed, "Oh dear~ little brother Shilo, what do you want to do to your big sister~?"

"Oh dear~ Naughty children get punished, don't blame me for not telling you beforehand!"

Shilo didn't say much to Vera's rude behavior. He simply knelt on her arms, looked down into her bloodshot eyes, and sneered, "Vera, are you feeling pretty smug right now?"

Chapter 205 Vera (4k5, Bonus Chapter)

Despite Shiloh's displeased expression, Vera maintained a composed smile.

If Shiro in his grown-up form still has some intimidating presence, then his boy form is like an adorable little tiger; no matter how much he hisses, he's just cute and fierce.

Vera curled her lips into a smirk, humming twice, her eyes brimming with undisguised mockery, her entire face radiating an air of "What can you do about it?"

Seeing Vera's audacity, Shiloh sneered, then reached out and roughly grabbed a strand of hair from her forehead, lifting her up.

Although Vera felt no pain, the act itself was somewhat humiliating, and she naturally resented the reversal of her position (in her own perception).

However, the next moment, Shiloh's words interrupted Vera's attempt to counterattack.

"I've given you so much time, have you figured out how to 'tame' me?"

Shiloh tore open the fabric at her chest, revealing a scarlet rose mark on her heart that shimmered red, reflecting in Vera's eyes and making her bloodshot eyes even more crystalline, full of elegance and wildness.

Unexpectedly, Xi Luo actually activated the mark of the [Blood Bond] on his own initiative. Vera frowned, momentarily stumped by his question.

To be honest, Vera had absolutely no clue about matters of love and romance.

These complicated things were still too advanced for someone like her who only enjoyed the thrill of combat.

Sniff sniff~

Suddenly, Vera's delicate nose unconsciously sniffed twice, and she smelled a rich, warm scent belonging to Shiloh. Her eyes suddenly lit up.

She had smelled this scent before; it was the scent she sensed when she found Xi Luo on the train after her rebirth and made a contract with him.

In short, it's the scent that Shiloh has when he's aroused.

Shiloh's personality is such that he enjoys conquering others, and Vera knows this, so the "battle" between them is the difference between conquering and being conquered.

Once this point is clarified, the subsequent strategy becomes clear.

All those complicated things like dating can be completely ignored. Let's get straight to the point and have a thrilling, head-on battle of conquest against our wild side!

Vera's mind was racing at that moment, and she felt like the smartest person in the world!

"Hehe~ I've already thought about such a simple thing~"

Vera licked her lips, a savage glint in her scarlet eyes. With a twist of her waist, she forcefully broke through Xi Luo's restraints and, with the force of a cart crushing a child, suppressed him.

call--

Vera leaned closer to Shiloh, looking at his humiliated expression of "unyielding defiance," and giggled merrily, "What? Isn't this what you've always wanted to do?"

"Conquest and being conquered...you think so too, don't you?"

Vera leaned close to Shiloh's face, breathing soft, warm breath into him, her tone enigmatic and alluring, concealing a seductive, ghostly charm.

Vera activated the [Blood Bond of Love] on her body, amplifying her connection with Xi Luo, making the mark on his chest even more vivid, his dark eyes gradually turning crimson, and fangs faintly visible at the corners of his lips.

The energy of the "Blood Bond" permeated the body, enveloping the entire room like a blood-red cocoon.

Seeing this change, Vera nodded in satisfaction. She had thought of this when Shiloh activated the power of the contract.

By using the power of their contract to seal the room's atmosphere, they could do whatever they wanted without being detected by Natalia.

Vera placed Shiloh's arms over his head, then mockingly extended a jade-like finger and lightly traced his neck with her smooth nail. The subtle stimulation sent goosebumps up his skin. Shiloh instinctively wanted to pull away, but his willpower forced him to stop without showing any fear.

"Hey~ hey~ I'm telling you, your relationship with Natalia must be a little something, right~?"

Vera buried her face in ecstasy, her white fangs pressed against his artery, her lips parting and closing, her tone revealing dissatisfaction and threat.

This isn't the jealousy between lovers, but rather a kind of guarded vigilance, more like protecting one's food.

Shiloh lay on his back gazing at the sky. Vera's figure was broad-shouldered and rounded, a standard gas-guzzling vehicle. Her provocative actions only fueled his anger, making him wish he could immediately recreate the scene of "Three Battles with the White Bone Demon."

However, now is not the time.

Clearly, Vera misjudged her current strength, believing she could take the opportunity to crush Shiloh's confidence.

Shiloh, wanting to go along with her mistaken belief, pretended to be powerless and guided her to discover the terrifying, invincible "truth" herself.

"If you stop now, you won't lose as badly as you thought."

Hearing Shiloh's stubborn words, Vera burst out laughing, and then she laughed heartily.

"Hehehe~ Xiluo, Xiluo, you're still being stubborn even when you're about to die. You weren't like this before~?"

After Vera finished laughing, she suddenly leaned down and pressed her forehead against Shiloh's, feeling their breaths mingling beneath their touching noses. She chuckled softly, "Alright, alright, I understand your desire to win. How about this, call me 'Nanny,' and I'll go easy on you later, okay?"

A question mark flashed through Shiloh's mind, then he frowned and looked at Vera, asking, "Have you lost your mind?"

Vera's enthusiastic appearance reminded Shilo of when they first met, in the realm of [Forbidden Divine Ritual - The One Who Lives], the meaning behind her smug expression.

Seeing Xi Luo's face full of resistance, Vera's expression stiffened, and she frowned with some dissatisfaction, saying, "Tsk, then call me sister, calling me sister is fine too."

"You too?"

Vera was so angry she laughed.

Unexpectedly, Shiloh is still so unruly and rebellious.

Vera gritted her teeth with a forced smile, grinding her teeth against Shilo's small body, and straightened up, saying, "Tch, I'd like to see how long you can keep up this stubbornness... Children who don't listen to adults will be punished very badly, you know?"

wow-

A series of overlapping sounds of bats flapping their wings rang out, and Vera's classic dress fell away, revealing her slender, powerful, and fair body to the air.

Vera was in no hurry to drink Shiro's blood; that was a victory to be savored only at the decisive moment.

As for Shiloh defeating himself and tasting his own blood, Vera had never considered that.

Besides Shiloh's current boyish state, Vera has also recently advanced to the [Eclipse Realm] level. The difference of an entire realm makes her even less convinced that she will lose.

Of course, if we lose... it doesn't seem like a bad deal?

Shiloh stared at Vera with a defiant look, which fueled her sadistic desires, but this expansion of desire suddenly froze the moment the curtain was lifted.

wow-
