Cheng Xiao's mind popped up with a big "?" and he looked at the senior sister in front of him with a strange expression.
"You, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean it like that," Ding Yumeng quickly explained.
"Vampires need blood to maintain life and enhance their bloodline. The blood on your body is very special. I want to regularly consume some of your blood.
"Of course, in exchange, you can ask me to do anything, and you can also... do anything to me."
"Anything is fine?"
Cheng Xiao suddenly lowered his body, bringing his face close to Ding Yumeng's face, their eyes meeting.
Ding Yumeng was already flustered, and startled like this, she subconsciously took a step back.
But halfway through the step, she pulled it back.
She nodded gently.
"Yes, as long as you are willing to let me drink your blood, I am willing to do anything you ask."
After saying this, she closed her eyes nervously.
She waited for several seconds, but didn't feel Cheng Xiao touch her body.
Instead, she heard Cheng Xiao speak very softly.
"Stand up."
There was no reaction. Cheng Xiao seemed a little confused and called out again.
"Stand up!"
Ding Yumeng slowly raised her beautiful eyes and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"It seems that vampires, being living dead, cannot extract shadows immediately. They still retain characteristics of living people and must be completely dead first."
Cheng Xiao's experiment was fruitless. Then he said to Ding Yumeng, "Okay, I agree to feed you blood regularly, and you will also help me with things."
Upon receiving the reply, a look of joy appeared on Ding Yumeng's face, and she asked cautiously.
"Can I... drink a little of your blood first?"
Cheng Xiao rolled up his sleeve and gestured for her to drink the blood from his arm.
At this moment, Ding Yumeng could no longer suppress her vampire nature, revealing her sharp fangs and those crimson blood race eyes.
Zzzz~~~
The fangs bit down lightly, but only pierced the skin.
What a tough physique... Ding Yumeng bit down hard again. Her teeth ached from the impact, and only then did her fangs pierce Cheng Xiao's blood vessels.
After tasting the fresh blood, Ding Yumeng's crimson pupils became even more scarlet, as if some kind of transformation had occurred.
"Thank you, Mas... Master," Ding Yumeng said, looking a little shy.
"You don't need to call me that. We have a cooperative relationship. I give you blood, and you help me with things," Cheng Xiao said.
Ding Yumeng was startled, let out a slightly regretful "Oh," and then asked.
"Then Mas... Then what do you need me to do?"
"Your current strength is too weak. We can talk about it after your strength improves," Cheng Xiao paused and added.
"Oh, right. Don't tell Xin Xia about this matter or your identity."
"Understood!"
...
In fact, after Cheng Xiao learned about Ding Yumeng's purpose, he already had a plan in mind.
Vampires need to regularly consume powerful special blood to establish their strength.
With the Shadow Monarch bloodline that Cheng Xiao currently possessed, it was definitely top-tier special blood for vampires.
Otherwise, Ding Yumeng wouldn't have sensed something unique about him.
Using this point, Cheng Xiao could cultivate Ding Yumeng and thus take charge of the entire massive Dark Circle in Shanghai.
Just right, Leng Qing was in charge of those dark areas, which included the Dark Circle. It could be said that it was a perfect fit for her expertise.
...
The two returned to their seats, and the concert continued as usual.
The Scaly Mother Demon's corpse would be quietly handled by the hunters, so as not to disturb the order of the scene.
If it caused panic among the thousands of people at the scene, it would be very troublesome.
In the audience seats.
Ding Yumin saw her sister's joyful appearance and instantly understood everything.
She didn't ask further and spoke to Cheng Xiao using Mental System sound.
"Thank you for agreeing to Ding Yumeng. Her matter is on me. If you need anything from me in the future, you can come find me."
"Okay, I've noted it down," Cheng Xiao agreed with a smile and then asked curiously.
"Do Dean Xiao and Fu Yuanzhang know about her identity?"
"Yes, they do. After she unexpectedly became a vampire, I went to ask Dean Xiao and Fu Yuanzhang. After investigating Ding Yumeng's condition, they agreed."
Ding Yumin explained.
"Ding Yumeng's physique is a bit special. After becoming a vampire, while mastering blood magic, she can also cultivate orthodox magic like a normal mage."
"This is also why she was able to enter Mingzhu Academy. As long as she doesn't actively expose her identity as a vampire.
"Or have her mental world investigated, she looks no different from a normal mage, and no one can discover it.
"Dean Xiao and Fu Yuanzhang are very tolerant. As long as she doesn't do anything harmful, they won't interfere. And these years, I have been the one managing her."
Cheng Xiao looked a little surprised after hearing this.
This pair of sisters is not simple. One is a Mental System Calamity, and the other is a combination of a vampire and an orthodox mage.
No wonder they are sisters.
"Anyway, thank you."
"I also have things I need her to help with. It's just mutual help."
...
Ding Yumin smiled and kept this favor in her heart.
No wonder Dean Xiao wanted her to interact more with Cheng Xiao. Now it seems Dean Xiao was right.
Cheng Xiao, this man who could change her life.
...
The Scaly Mother Demon incident was jointly announced by the Hunter Union officials and Mingzhu Academy.
This crisis lurking in the dark almost caused a sensation throughout Mingzhu Academy.
However, what was unexpected was that the person who finally resolved this crisis turned out to be Cheng Xiao.
This king of the undead, who had just challenged over three thousand freshmen, caused a sensation with his reputation once again.
Cheng Xiao's originally not-so-good reputation underwent a dramatic turnaround for the better.
Of course, there were still quite a few people who resented Cheng Xiao.
However, these groups were mostly driven by jealousy, unwilling to admit Cheng Xiao's excellence and strength.
This also led to Cheng Xiao having extremely polarized positive and negative reviews.
As the person involved, Cheng Xiao naturally couldn't be bothered with these things.
He just focused on cultivating, and when he had free time on weekends, he would go out to take on a few requests to hunt some small demons and expand the forces of the Shadow Legion.
Soon, this semester ended.
In the previous semester, staying on campus was mandatory, but in the next semester, students were in a free-range state.
Whether they continued to stay on campus or moved out of the Academy to live, the Academy would not interfere.
Cheng Xiao naturally moved back to the villa he rented with Xin Xia, which was both quiet and free.
But what he didn't expect was that on the second day after moving back home, acquaintances came knocking on his door.
Cheng Xiao looked at Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu who came to visit, with a puzzled expression.
"You guys are...?"
"Mu Nujiao, you say it!"
Ai Tutu pushed Mu Nujiao forward and stood behind her with a smug smile.
Mu Nujiao was pushed in front of Cheng Xiao, her face hesitant, finding it a little difficult to say.
But after hesitating for two seconds, she still raised her red lips.
"Cheng, Cheng Xiao... Ai Tutu and I want to move into your villa."
As if afraid Cheng Xiao would refuse, before he could say anything, Mu Nujiao quickly added.
"We won't live for free, we can pay rent, can we?"
