Chapter 99

Sure, here is the translation:

---

Sure enough, the girl's scent was light, with a hint of fragrance, like the herbal aroma slowly evaporating from pine wood heated by the sun, which Qianye found very appealing.

Without thinking, Qianye said, "Sit down!"

The girl looked somewhat panicked but neither refused nor struggled. Instead, she turned her head to look toward the bar.

The man behind the bar glared fiercely at the girl, nodded forcefully, and then tilted his head, gesturing toward the bottle of alcohol beside him.

Qianye saw everything and understood without much thought.

"Another bottle," Qianye said, and a silver coin flew from his fingertips, drawing an arc and landing on the bottle on the bar. It then spun in the air above the bottle, creating a small silver glow.

The muscles on the bar owner's face twitched. This trick required not only skill but also a deep foundation of primal energy.

He turned around, took out a bottle of strong liquor, opened it, and then waved his hand, sending the bottle rolling over the crowd and landing steadily on Qianye's table with a thud. Throughout the process, not a drop of alcohol spilled. This was quite impressive, but it couldn't compare to Qianye.

The girl, with a stiff smile, sat down and began helping to pour the drinks. She then accompanied Qianye in drinking, and finally, she relaxed and leaned against him. In the bar, this was all very natural, and the loud noise made people lean closer to hear each other, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to understand what was being said.

From the first drink, Qianye entered a strange state of mild intoxication. This feeling made him very comfortable, and his tense nerves completely relaxed. The initial gloom and irritability seemed to melt away like spring snow. The girl's body, which was pressed against him, was warm, and every touch felt elastic and full of vitality. Her scent made Qianye very comfortable, and gradually, it seemed that each breath was filled with a refreshing fragrance.

Naturally, desire arose.

Qianye now felt that whatever he said or did was as he wished, for example, this sentence: "Will you come with me?"

Alcohol was indeed a very magical thing.

The girl, lost in thought, suddenly blushed and then nodded almost imperceptibly.

Qianye didn't waste any time and took the girl out of the bar. However, he didn't notice that two pairs of eyes in a corner of the bar had been watching him. In his semi-drunk state, Qianye ignored many things, but his instincts remained alert, keeping him sensitive to danger and killing intent.

At a small table in the corner, Yu Yingnan and Er Ye were sitting.

Yu Yingnan had a few fresh scars on her face and body, the result of the two traps Qianye had set. The female hunter was already in a bad mood, and this made it even worse. So, she went back and insisted on dragging Er Ye out to drink.

Perhaps this was an inexplicable fate, as they happened to enter the same bar and saw Qianye. Yu Yingnan didn't go over to greet him because another unfamiliar girl was at his table, a gentle and shy girl who was tightly leaning against Qianye.

Er Ye wanted to leave, but Yu Yingnan held him back and found a secluded corner to sit down.

Qianye didn't make any extra movements; he just drank in silence, occasionally looking around blankly. Yu Yingnan felt several times that Qianye's gaze had turned toward her, but his expression didn't change, and he ignored her.

Finally, she saw Qianye get up and leave with the girl. They passed through the crowded and noisy hall. The young man's tall and slender figure was full of strength, and he easily parted the crowd with his left arm. The small, delicate figure of the girl clung to his arm as if it were her only support. Soon, the two figures disappeared into the dimly lit street, where the night was still long.

Yu Yingnan downed a full glass of strong liquor, refilled it, and then tilted her head back, pouring it all down her throat. When she was about to pour herself a third glass, Er Ye held her hand.

"This is men," she said unexpectedly calmly.

"It's not a big deal," Er Ye said, then took the glass from Yu Yingnan, poured it into his own mouth, and sighed contentedly, saying, "It tastes good."

After a glass of strong liquor, Er Ye's mood improved significantly. He said, "Men sometimes get impulsive, especially when they drink too much. When he sobers up tomorrow, he won't be interested in that little girl anymore. Tsk, tsk, what's the point of her having no chest and no hips!"

"Are you saying Qianye drank too much?"

"Obviously! Just look at him."

Yu Yingnan laughed, her smile tinged with a bit of sarcasm and bitterness. She didn't believe that a few bottles of alcohol could make Qianye drunk.

Yu Yingnan snatched the empty glass from Er Ye, poured herself a small half-glass, and drank it slowly while watching the women in the bar who were vigorously moving their waists and hips.

Qianye would risk his life to save her by using his body to block a shot from a Sky Snake, but he never thought of seducing her to bed.

"Sure enough, no man wants a woman like me..."

Qianye, of course, didn't go to Yu Yingnan but returned to his small house by instinct. Surprisingly, it was clean, with no mess, and even the bed was neatly made.

Qianye waved his hand, and the girl fell as light as a feather, pulling him down with her. Her skin was pale with a hint of green, lacking color, but it was firm and smooth, like touching a piece of silk.

The momentary satisfaction and relaxation made Qianye feel incredibly happy, especially the fulfillment from nothing, which stimulated him into a state of confusion! That pleasure was comparable to the deliciousness of fresh blood when his energy was depleted!

Qianye closed his eyes and let his instincts guide him, as if the entire world and the stars were spinning. Throughout, the pine-like fragrance filled all his senses, and the girl's suppressed moans were like a light song, flowing up and down.

The pleasure was like a tide of primal energy, wave after wave, finally reaching its peak! When unimaginable joy crashed down like a wave, Qianye's last bit of consciousness was submerged.

Suddenly, a warm, sweet liquid flowed into his mouth, mixed with the girl's fragrant scent!

Qianye suddenly opened his eyes!

He had bitten the side of the girl's neck, and a trickle of blood was flowing into his mouth. Qianye was shocked and sprang up from the girl.

"Don't move!" Qianye held the equally panicked girl and looked at the wound on her neck. Fortunately, the cut was shallow, only breaking the skin and not damaging the artery. Moreover, after Qianye woke up, he instinctively reined in his blood energy, and the dark blood hadn't had time to contaminate her.

Qianye broke out in a cold sweat, feeling lucky. He immediately got out of bed, fetched the medicine he had stored, treated the girl's wound, and then bandaged it.

Throughout the process, the girl just hugged herself, trembling, and let Qianye do as he pleased.

While treating the wound, Qianye recalled everything that had happened tonight, not knowing what to say. However, since it had already happened, there was nothing to be done, and the girl's fragrant scent was indeed very attractive to him. Fortunately, he hadn't contaminated her; otherwise, if his blood energy had entered her body, it would have been unclear whether it was a first embrace or just contamination.

Qianye wrapped the girl in her clothes and asked softly, "Scared?"

Hearing Qianye's gentle voice, the girl dared to look up. She gazed at Qianye, and for a moment, she even showed a hint of infatuation. Qianye's unaltered face and aura were as dazzling as a star in the sky in the lower levels of Dark Blood City.

The girl silently put on her clothes.

Qianye walked to the table, then returned to the bed, holding a money bag. He tilted the bag, and dozens of silver coins fell into his palm, which he offered to the girl, saying, "For you."

The girl was startled, her body shrinking back, and she murmured, "Too... too much."

Girls in the bar usually received one silver coin for spending the night with a guest, and a few very popular girls might charge regular customers two. Qianye's offer was more than ten times the normal price.

Qianye took the girl's hand, opened it, and let the silver coins fall into her palm with a clink, smiling and saying, "Take it, it's what you deserve."

"Also, I really like your scent," Qianye added.

The girl subconsciously clutched the silver coins, her face showing a mix of relief and lingering fear.

"What's wrong?" Qianye asked.

"I... I thought you were a vampire. You scared me just now," the girl patted her chest and exhaled. Since Qianye had given her so many silver coins, he couldn't be a vampire.

The common people's understanding of dark races was limited, with some exaggerated, like the possibility of infection from close contact with blood slaves, and some ignorant, like the belief that vampires couldn't touch silver. In reality, silver was toxic to the bloodline, but since it was a poison, there were ways to resist or detoxify it. After Qianye's bloodline advanced, as long as he didn't see blood, he was no longer afraid of ordinary silver, let alone the low-silver-content imperial silver coins.

Qianye smiled, not dwelling on the issue, and asked, "Is this your first time accompanying a guest out?"

The girl's face immediately turned bright red, and after a moment, she nodded almost imperceptibly, saying, "I really needed the money, and also because... it was you."

Qianye thought for a moment, shook the money bag, and a gold coin rolled out from the inside. He directly handed the gold coin to the girl and said, "This is yours. If you don't need to, don't accompany guests out anymore."

The girl clenched her fist, not taking the gold coin, and instead looked up at Qianye, mustering the courage to ask, "Will you come back to see me?"

Qianye smiled and said, "I'll be leaving soon and may never come back."

The girl lowered her head and said softly, "Then I don't want the gold coin. This money is enough, and I won't go to the bar anymore. I can probably find a job as a hotel attendant or something."

Qianye pushed the gold coin into the girl's hand and said, "If you're willing, you can help me clean this house when you have free time. This gold coin is your pay for a year. If I haven't returned after a year, you don't need to clean anymore, and you can do whatever you want with this place."

"Will you die in battle?"

The girl asked a question that surprised Qianye.

Qianye thought seriously and then said gently, "I am a warrior, and fighting dark races is the responsibility of every human warrior. As a warrior, dying on the battlefield is our innate destiny, and I can't avoid it."

The girl suddenly hugged Qianye, kissed him on the lips, and said, "I can't do much, but if... if you ever come back to Dark Blood City, this place will always be clean!"

With that, the girl ran out and disappeared into the night.

Qianye sat quietly for a few minutes, remembered something, took his gun, and followed the girl.
