Join the ServerSu Mian found herself trapped in a dark, sealed room.
The light source had long since flickered out, leaving only an endless, suffocating darkness.
The air hung heavy with dust and the faint scent of disinfectant, yet this was not the abyss that truly terrified her.
That figure stood silently just a few steps away.
Xia observed Su Mian as if she were a prized work of art, his gaze lingering greedily on her body, which trembled slightly from extreme terror.
He did not act immediately, choosing instead to savor the prelude of his prey’s helpless, almost adorable struggles against absolute power.
Su Mian’s breath caught in her throat, her heart pounded wildly, and her mind went utterly blank.
Gradually, within that profound darkness, a pair of eyes slowly illuminated.
They were inhuman, glowing with an ominous crimson light.
Su Mian’s legs completely gave out, leaving her barely able to stand.
She swallowed hard, her throat raw with pain, and mustered her remaining courage, her voice trembling uncontrollably: “You… you’re a staff member here, playing an NPC, right?”
She desperately tried to soothe her fraying nerves with a rational explanation: “I admit, your haunted house is incredibly realistic and fun! After I leave, I’ll definitely give you a great review and recommend you on social media!
So… can you please stop scaring me?”
Those scarlet eyes remained unwavering, fixed solely on her, devoid of any human emotion.
Su Mian felt tears welling up, her fear making her babble incoherently: “I’ll pay more! Can I pay more? Just let me go! I don’t want to play anymore, please, let me out…”
Her tearful pleas sounded incredibly faint in the empty room.
Xia finally moved. He took a single step forward, his pace slow and steady, imbued with a hint of mockery.
Su Mian shrieked in terror, scrambling backward with her hands and feet until her back slammed hard against the unyielding wall, leaving her nowhere left to retreat.
Her foot caught on some cold machinery, and she cried out, falling awkwardly to the ground.
Fear reached its absolute peak.
Almost instinctively, she reached out, fumbling wildly around her. She grabbed anything she could move, throwing it with all her might at the encroaching abyss with the scarlet eyes.
“Go away! Don’t come any closer!”
Xia neither dodged nor flinched. The scattered objects struck him with dull thuds before rolling to the ground.
He didn’t even furrow his brow. Instead, Su Mian’s futile resistance seemed to amuse him, a pleased curve forming on his lips.
He savored the last burst of vitality from his prey in despair, knowing it would only make the final ‘taste’ even more exquisite.
Soon, Su Mian had thrown everything within reach.
Just as she despairingly glanced around, a hand as cold as iron clamped onto her wrist with an irresistible force.
“Ah!”
Su Mian cried out in pain. The hand’s temperature was terrifyingly low, utterly beyond human scope.
Yet, extreme terror ignited a fierce instinct deep within her.
Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall. She lowered her head without hesitation, opened her mouth, and with all her strength, bit down hard on the arm that held her captive!
Even if he truly were human, scaring her like this made him deserve the bite!
Xia finally frowned slightly.
He hadn’t expected this seemingly fragile little prey to retaliate with such… sharp teeth.
His deep voice resonated in the darkness, carrying a hint of unexpected amusement: “I haven’t even taken a bite yet, and you’re already so eager.”
Before his words finished, he merely tugged his arm casually.
Su Mian felt an overwhelming, irresistible force. Her entire body, along with the desperate bite she clung to, was effortlessly lifted from the ground!
Su Mian was stunned, her mind completely blank.
This was not human strength at all!
But at the same time, why did that voice sound so familiar?
Xia also felt a trace of surprise.
The biting force on his arm was astonishing, giving him the absurd thought that it was a pity such a bite wasn’t used by a blood race member.
He wasted no more time. His other hand reached out, precisely grasping Su Mian’s jaw and applying slight pressure.
“Mmph…” A dull ache spread through her jaw, forcing Su Mian to release her bite.
Xia looked down at Su Mian, who sat on the ground, staring up at him in terror. He slowly offered two choices:
“Now, I’ll give you two paths.”
His voice carried a cold, undeniable authority: “First, relax obediently and let me savor you, my long-awaited ‘little cake.’ Afterward, I might be pleased enough to grant you eternal life.
“Second,”
A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his scarlet eyes, “you can continue your futile struggles. In that case, I will drain every drop of your blood, leading you to death in exquisite agony.”
Su Mian’s eyes widened in horror, almost believing she was hallucinating.
Savor?
Eternal life?
Draining blood?
Was the world mad, or was he speaking some crude slang she didn’t understand?
She choked back a sob and tried to make one last clarification: “Bro-brother! If this isn’t part of your haunted house’s script… then I must emphasize again! I, I’m a man! Look closely! We are both men!”
Xia’s wild and eerie smile deepened, as if he had heard something immensely amusing: “Yes, I know. You will be the first male I taste. For that, you should feel honored.”
Su Mian’s last shred of hope was utterly shattered.
A pervert! This was definitely a deranged pervert!
In the next moment, Xia lowered his head, his face slowly approaching Su Mian’s pale, delicate neck.
At such close proximity, he could almost feel the tantalizing, exhilarating scent of blood in the veins beneath that thin layer of skin.
The scarlet light in his eyes flared brightly. The long wait and meticulous planning had finally reached the moment of harvest.
He could finally indulge in this unique ‘little cake.’
It was only a pity that he wasn’t interested in the male body itself.
Otherwise, the prey’s blood would become even sweeter when extreme desire was satisfied.
He slightly parted his lips, revealing the faint glint of sharp fangs at their corners…

Meanwhile, in the chaotic passageway of the haunted house.
Xiao Moyuan abruptly halted. The faint aura he had been meticulously tracking—Su Mian’s aura—had vanished!
Not only that, but in that very instant, he had clearly perceived a cold, though not intense, yet inherently sinister demonic energy fluctuation. Although it was fleeting, there was no mistaking it.
And it was definitely not Su Mian’s demonic energy.
Just then, several dedicated NPCs once again leaped out from the shadows, emitting piercing screeches, attempting to startle the players.
The two girls, guided by the faint glow of a green indicator light, finally found their cherished Xiao Moyuan.
“Oh, big brother, it’s so scary here!”
One girl exclaimed, her voice deliberately trembling.
“Big brother, you absolutely must protect us!”
The other girl was not to be outdone.
Before their words even faded, the two, with remarkable synchronicity, each tightly hugged one of Xiao Moyuan’s arms, almost pressing their entire bodies against him.
Lu Yang, who followed behind, stared wide-eyed, his face a mask of envy, jealousy, and resentment. He muttered softly:
“No way… my arm was extended so obviously just now, and those two girls didn’t even glance at me… Damn it! Does being handsome really mean you can do whatever you want?”
Qin Xuan, beside him, pushed up his glasses and offered a dispassionate, observation-based conclusion:
“Theoretically, in certain specific situations, physical attractiveness can indeed translate into practical benefits, including but not limited to acquiring food and gaining preferential attention from the opposite s*x.”
Lu Yang touched his own face, trying to regain some confidence: “I feel like I’m pretty good-looking too, right? And my physique isn’t bad either.”
Qin Xuan’s gaze swept over Lu Yang, his tone still flat:
“Self-perception bias is a common phenomenon. Furthermore, based on visual assessment, Xiao Moyuan’s body proportions and muscle definition are at a level most popular with women, not inferior to yours.”
Lu Yang rolled his eyes, choked by the retort, and grumbled: “Xuan! Whose side are you on anyway? Can we even be happy roommates anymore?”
Qin Xuan calmly replied: “I stand on the side of objective facts.”
During their brief exchange, Xiao Moyuan’s expression abruptly darkened.
He didn’t even bother to look down at the two girls clinging to him. Instead, he ruthlessly, almost violently, shook his arms with force!
“Scram!”
One chilling word, laced with undisguised disgust and irritation.
The two girls shrieked, flung several steps backward by his immense strength, and tumbled to the ground, their faces etched with shock and grievance.
Xiao Moyuan didn’t spare them another glance. His figure instantly vanished into the darkness ahead, speeding toward the direction where he had last sensed the demonic energy fluctuation.
Shen Zhixia, who had been distracted, constantly wary of her surroundings and worried about Su Mian’s condition, realized in a mere flicker of attention that Xiao Moyuan had also disappeared.
‘Damn it, Xiao Moyuan got away…’
Lu Yang’s mouth hung open as he watched the direction Xiao Moyuan had vanished, then looked at the two disheveled girls on the ground, his face full of disbelief:
“Xuan! This doesn’t make sense! When Mianzi was clinging to his arm sleeping before, he wasn’t like this!
How could he be so cruel to two beautiful girls? He has no understanding of cherishing beauty!”
Saying this, he felt his opportunity had arrived.
He quickly put on what he believed was his most gentlemanly and reliable expression, stepped forward, and extended a hand to help the two girls: “Two beauties, you didn’t get hurt, did you? Let me help you up…”
However, the two girls glanced at Lu Yang, their expressions of disdain completely undisguised. They struggled to their feet independently, brushed the dust from their clothes, and completely ignored his outstretched hand.
Lu Yang’s hand froze in mid-air, his smile also congealed, and the scene became incredibly awkward.
Qin Xuan shot a glance at Lu Yang and delivered a precise two-word evaluation: “Clown.”

Elsewhere.
Su Mian was firmly pinned against the wall by Xia’s invisibly emanating power, unable to move even a single finger.
Feeling his cold breath ghosting over her neck, a wave of intense nausea and terror swept through her.
“You pervert! You lunatic! Don’t come any closer! Let me go!”
Her voice was filled with uncontrollable sobs and desperate trembling.
She had a natural aversion and discomfort towards such intimate physical contact, let alone when the other party clearly harbored malicious intentions and wanted to do something far more terrible to her.
Just as Xia’s cold, inhuman fangs were about to touch Su Mian’s neck—
An abrupt change occurred!
The necklace Xiao Moyuan had given Su Mian, resting on her neck, suddenly erupted with a strong, pure white light!
The light was almost tangible, forming a searing beam that mercilessly shot directly at Xia, who was mere inches away!
Xia was completely immersed in the immense joy and greed of finally getting what he desired, his guard down. He had utterly failed to anticipate that this seemingly helpless little cat possessed such a protective item!
By the time he realized the extremely threatening power contained within that light, it was too late for any effective evasion.
“Waaah—!”
Like a red-hot branding iron searing ice, the beam of light struck Xia squarely in the chest!
In an instant, a heart-wrenching burning sensation spread throughout his entire body!
He could even smell the charred scent of burning flesh.
“A spiritual artifact?!”
Xia roared in a mix of shock and fury.
And judging by its power, it was no ordinary item!
He had never imagined that Su Mian would possess a spiritual artifact refined by an exorcist!
Blindsided by this heavy blow, he felt a wave of weakness wash over him. His internal power was in disarray, and he urgently needed fresh blood to replenish his consumption and heal his injuries.
The intense pain and the anger of his broken plan nearly drove him mad, but he knew this was not the time to continue savoring his delicious meal.
He glared viciously at the still-shaken Su Mian, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
Then, his figure flickered, as if melting into the shadows, and he swiftly submerged into the deeper darkness of the room, vanishing from sight.
Almost the very second Xia disappeared—
“Bang!”
The heavy door of the room was violently pushed open from the outside.
Xiao Moyuan’s tall figure appeared in the doorway. He swiftly scanned the entire room, instantly locking onto Su Mian, who was curled up in the corner, hugging her knees and trembling.
He keenly sensed the residual, nauseating blood race aura and the pure spiritual energy fluctuations left after the spiritual artifact’s burst, confirming that the creature had fled.
He immediately strode forward, crouching before Su Mian, his voice deliberately softened compared to his usual cold tone: “Su Mian? Are you alright?”
Hearing that familiar, deep voice, which now sounded like heavenly music bringing boundless security, Su Mian’s nerves, stretched to their absolute limit, finally snapped.
She didn’t even have time to think. Almost out of instinct, she abruptly lifted her head, and once her tear-filled eyes confirmed it was Xiao Moyuan, she threw herself into his arms without hesitation.
Her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, burying her tear-streaked face into his chest, and her suppressed sobs finally burst forth.
“Wuwu… Xiao Moyuan… there was, there was a pervert… he scared me to death…”
“It’s alright, I’m here now.”
