Chapter 53: Confessions and Blood

“Hey! No way? So am I going to be killed by that Knight Lady with her super powerful move?”

She gave a disgusted look. “No, no. If she really wanted to kill you, a normal sword strike would be enough. She wouldn’t use that move.”

“…”

“Oh, right! The box I gave you earlier contains a magic item that’s beneficial to you. Make sure to ask the Young Master to return it!”

“What kind of magic item?”

“It can mask your physical traits so you don’t look like a vampire on the surface. Hmm… it’s like a male enhancement pill! It raises your body temperature and lowers your vampire aura.”

“Hmm! Sounds good. Male enhancement? …Wait, if my identity is exposed, why would they give me something beneficial?”

“Well… maybe because they pity you? Or maybe they think you’d make a good bride for the Young Master…”

“You’re doing it again…” I said with a hint of irritation.

But she just looked at me with a grin and let out a “hehe” laugh.

“Hehehe… Okay, nothing else.”

She turned around and gradually faded from my sight. Didn’t this girl have some mission? Like returning to the divine realm or something… probably.

A powerful suction pulled me back into my own body.

I slowly opened my eyes, pushed open the coffin lid with some effort, it creaked loudly.

Squinting, I stood up and lifted a corner of the curtain. Seeing that it was already night, I groggily pushed open the door. There was no one in the hallway. I didn’t know the exact time, but it should be when humans and demi-humans are asleep.

I leaned against the wall in a daze, rubbing my eyes. For some reason, I couldn’t see the path ahead clearly. Suddenly, my legs gave out and I collapsed to the floor.

What’s going on? I have no strength. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of me. I couldn’t see clearly, who was it?

“Chuye? What’s wrong? Why are you sitting here?”

I recognized the voice. “I don’t know why, but I have no strength…”

The person in front of me sounded like Xiao Linlin. At this hour, only a demon like her and I would be awake…

“Huh? Are you hungry? I’ll get you some blood!”

“Mm…”

I didn’t know the cause, but hunger was a real possibility.

Her footsteps faded away, then returned after a while.

“Here! Let me feed you!”

“No need.”

I took the cup she handed me. I could smell it was blood from that tree.

I downed it in one gulp. Gradually, my vision cleared. She looked at me, then sat down against the wall next to me.

“I remember when you had a fever in the past, I fed you medicine like this. You absolutely refused to let me feed you, downed it all in one gulp, then chugged water because it was bitter. Hahahaha.”

“That’s because the first few times you fed me without any sense of temperature control, it scalded my mouth and made it swell. That’s why I wouldn’t let you feed me anymore!”

We both burst out laughing.

“But I still want to thank you for taking care of me. Whether in the previous world or this one, thank you!”

She suddenly fell silent, tilted her head to look at me, her eyes glistening with tears.

“But Chuye, you’ve never been that good to me!” she said, her voice trembling with sobs.

“I…”

“I know the Young Master likes you, but I… I also like… like you. I’ve always liked you since the first time we met. So… so can you… give me a share of your tenderness? Eighty-percent done is fine!”

“Eighty-percent done? Actually, I… but… how about a hundred-percent done?”
