Chapter 39

As the furious blow of the light axe came down, the creature nimbly dodged it. To him, the movements of the light axe were too slow. Facing the attacks of the light axe, he felt as if he were toying with a gorilla.

This sense of superiority immediately brought about his downfall. After all, even if the light axe was not at its best, he was still a elite warrior selected from tens of thousands of vampires. His rich combat experience was enough to make up for some of his shortcomings, including the sluggishness in his actions and thoughts.

Before the large hammer hit the ground, the light axe had already forcibly twisted his body and, with a reverse swing, struck the creature's chest with the other side of the hammer. The other side of the hammer was a square, four-sided iron mace. As soon as the iron mace hit the creature's chest, a clear sound was heard, the sound of tendons and bones being completely torn and crushed.

Struck by such a heavy blow, the creature immediately fell to the ground as if struck by lightning. The light axe took advantage of the situation, pulled out the hammer, and struck the creature's chest again. The entire chest bone immediately caved in, and the creature twitched slightly, then became completely still.

Seeing the creature finally die at his hands, the light axe put away the giant hammer and finally took a deep breath. Out of a long-formed habit, he squatted down and began to examine his trophy.

This habit allowed him to better understand his prey, and sometimes it brought unexpected rewards. Don't think that vampires don't need money; to enjoy a sufficiently comfortable life in this world, even if you are God, you need money.

Perhaps because the hammer was not as handy as the previous giant axe, the light axe did not place the hammer within easy reach but left it standing casually to one side. He squatted down, first examining the ugly and strange appearance of the creature, then reached out to dip his hand in the liquid flowing from the creature's shattered chest cavity and brought it to his nose to smell it carefully.

A pungent smell like ammonia instantly rushed from his nose to his brain, and the nauseating odor made the light axe feel a strong urge to vomit. After finally shaking off this uncomfortable feeling, the light axe vigorously shook his hand and spat at the creature's corpse in disgust.

"Filthy, disgusting monster!"

He then stood up, unwilling to look at the corpse behind him again. Clearly, the strange odor had thoroughly disgusted him.

And just as he turned around, the creature, which had been lying on the ground, immediately revived and pounced on the unprepared light axe with abnormal speed.

The movement behind him caught the light axe's attention, and he immediately turned around, but it was too late. By the time he turned around, the creature was already in front of him, and he had no way to avoid it.

The light axe only managed to use his arms to prop up the creature's body, creating a slight gap. The creature, like an old ape climbing a tree, clung tightly to the light axe.

His fingers, like iron nails, were firmly embedded in the light axe's back. The force of his fingers was so great that they almost shattered the light axe's shoulder blades. At the same time, his mouthparts opened, and his tongue, like a snake, wriggled and drooled, presenting a terrifying sight. Clearly, the creature was eager.

This scene naturally frightened the light axe. He desperately tried to push the creature off with his arms, using all his strength. But it was useless; the creature on his body was more tenacious than he could imagine.

The creature's chest wall was already shattered, and under the light axe's push, his internal organs had already touched the light axe's arms. But he remained unmoved, stretching his neck as far as possible, even tearing his shoulder blades completely out of the muscle.

This was a pain that no ordinary person could endure, a scene that was unimaginable. In this mad hunt, the prey ultimately did not escape the hunter's grasp. The creature, as it wished, attached its tongue to the light axe's neck, and its mouthparts began to close, injecting venom while tearing the neck's artery. Blood began to flow into the creature's body.

The light axe felt his strength begin to fade, and he knelt on the ground. His weak body could no longer stop the creature from feeding. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, someone came.

The person who came was Virene, his lover. Virene rushed in and, due to her position, only saw the creature on top of the light axe, who was still resisting. Realizing the urgency of the situation, Virene immediately started shooting at the creature.

The creature, already full of blood, clearly did not want to waste more energy. He roared and released his prey, leaping away through the kitchen exit.

Virene immediately ran over, helping the light axe up and looking at his most severely injured back with concern. "Dear, how are you?"

The light axe's weak voice came through. "My back, my back is injured."

Virene quickly began to tend to his back. At this moment, the light axe quietly pulled at his sparse clothing, covering the not-so-obvious wound on his neck.

Downstairs, a fierce battle was taking place, while upstairs, a passionate encounter was unfolding.

The vampire girl, as soon as she reached the upper floor, pulled Zhou Yi into a small compartment. She forcefully pushed him into the corner, raising her toes.

At the same time, she placed Zhou Yi's large hand on her slender waist, guiding him to move slowly.

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised by the girl's initiative, but he had to admit that her technique was not as good as it seemed.

She was too forceful, using her teeth more than her tongue, clearly giving a vampire's bite. Her movements were also too stiff, and despite her initiative, she lacked the momentum. Eventually, it was clear that Zhou Yi was leading her.

Clearly, this was a young girl who had not yet understood the ways of the world.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi pulled the girl closer, making their hands hold more tightly. The coldness of the girl's body could not resist the heat of Zhou Yi's body, and in his embrace, she softened like water.

Zhou Yi's fingers were very agile. Every time he moved his fingers, the vampire girl's body would tremble as if electrocuted, making Zhou Yi feel a growing sense of tenderness.

His actions made the girl's pale face flush with a dreamy red. This was all a beauty she had never experienced before.

The vampire girl barely managed to break free. She extended her hand, her slender fingers caressing Zhou Yi's face, not missing a single detail, as if admiring her most perfect treasure.

Her sky-blue eyes were filled with honey-like moisture and deep affection, and she lowered her head onto his shoulder.

"You belong to me now, forever mine." In the next moment, the vampire girl revealed her sharp fangs and bit into Zhou Yi's neck.

She wanted to grant him eternal life, to have him stay by her side forever, to protect her and pamper her. The young vampire girl, who had just opened her heart and was still somewhat rebellious, made the most important decision of her life: she wanted to make the man in front of her her own.

As a vampire, the girl had undoubtedly hunted humans before. She knew what it felt like for a vampire's fangs to tear through human flesh. But she had never experienced this feeling.

Her fangs seemed to be tearing through a fine, soft metal, not making any significant progress. She even felt a slight wear on her fangs.

The vampire girl raised her head in confusion, examined the position of her lower fangs, and then lowered her head again, changing the spot.

This strange confusion and stubbornness made Zhou Yi genuinely amused. Had this silly vampire not noticed anything wrong?

He touched the girl's hair, and the rebellious little braids gave him an unpleasant feeling. He frowned slightly, but his movements remained steady and gentle.

Feeling Zhou Yi's actions, the vampire girl stopped her vigorous biting and raised her head. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she asked, "Why can't I bite through?"

Her words were filled with委屈, like a child who couldn't get what they wanted.

Zhou Yi reached out and pinched the girl's exposed fangs, his fingertips rubbing the tips of the fangs, making the girl feel an itchy sensation in her bones.

"Why do you want to turn me into a vampire, my girl?" Zhou Yi's voice was gentle and soft, making the girl's body shudder involuntarily.

She looked up at Zhou Yi timidly, like a child who had done something wrong, and then quickly lowered her head. She was somewhat afraid but still explained, "I like the feeling of you protecting me, and I want you to always be by my side to protect me."

"Why do you think this way?" Zhou Yi continued to question, driven by a desire to understand her.

"Because I am a vampire outcast!" the girl began to explain.

As a vampire, she was the offspring of a pureblood and a half-breed. Her pureblood father died in a factional struggle, and she and her mother went through the hardest years of their lives until her mother was killed by other vampires.

Half-breeds had no status, and as the product of a pureblood and a half-breed, she was neither accepted by the purebloods nor able to stand among the half-breeds. In a sense, she had had enough of discrimination.

Fortunately, she had enough luck and strength to grow up slowly. Although her situation did not improve, she could barely maintain her life. Ironically, this blood nest, which was like hell for humans, was the best place for her to get food for free.

She didn't have to risk hunting humans or work for others to get blood. Although she was bullied by some people here, like those who were beaten to a pulp, she could enjoy almost self-service food. For her, this was heaven.

Zhou Yi's appearance was extremely special for the girl.

After her mother's death, the girl, who had not received any care from others, chose the most rebellious way to protect herself. But she never expected to receive warmth from a human. This warmth made her yearn and even hesitate to let go.

But she knew that once the sky brightened and the sun came up, the two of them would have to part ways. So she chose to protect the warmth she had received in her own way.

Listening to the girl's story, Zhou Yi continued to stroke her head, but his movements became more restrained. This was a girl worthy of pity, and he didn't know what he could do for her. Perhaps the fate of a vampire was too cruel for her.
