The black smoke gradually dispersed, and the demon was no longer on the balcony. The atmosphere turned heavy and cold.
“Samuel, let’s leave this place,” Sean said.
“Alright.”
Wei Xicheng didn’t dwell on the last words Elvis had spoken before leaving. Sean’s face was calm, showing no hint of any unusual emotions.
The two of them returned home swiftly, one after the other.
“Sir…”
Sean’s voice came from behind him. Wei Xicheng paused mid-way on the stairs and turned to look at him. That title—it had been a long time since he’d last heard it.
The boy standing at the bottom of the stairs had a strong, athletic build, his bare arms revealing smooth, muscular lines. Wei Xicheng felt a momentary daze.
“What is it?” He quickly snapped out of it. A vampire staring at a hunter rarely led to anything good.
“Are you… really going to leave? After my coming-of-age ceremony?” Sean’s tone carried a hint of uncertainty, and if one listened carefully, there was almost a pleading undertone.
He had deliberately reverted to the formal address, placing himself in a vulnerable and humble position, hoping to stir some sympathy in the cold-blooded creature.
“I’ll remember to give you a gift before I leave.” Wei Xicheng hurriedly turned away. He couldn’t let irrelevant matters sway him from two lifetimes of emotions and commitment.
Mavis was already dead. If he couldn’t find his lover, it would be impossible to obtain more energy in this world. Still, he wanted to stay a little longer. He had a feeling that person was deeply intertwined with the rules of this world.
Sean’s eyes darkened as he fixed his gaze on the retreating figure. A beast within him seemed to stir, growing harder to restrain.
He placed a hand on his chest. Just a little longer, Sean. It’s almost time.
With one last glance at the tightly closed door upstairs, he slung his greatsword over his back and stepped out the door.
No matter how much Sean didn’t want it, time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, his coming-of-age ceremony arrived.
As a hunter with vampire blood in his veins, Sean would awaken part of his vampiric abilities after this ceremony. This awakening might manifest as enhanced physical attributes, heightened intelligence, or, for the exceptionally gifted, unique abilities.
On this day, Sean didn’t go to the training grounds. Instead, he lay quietly in bed, waiting for the awakening.
Suddenly, a wave of intense pain struck him. Sean felt his vision blur, and his mind was flooded with foreign sensations as though someone had forcefully poured something into him. His bones felt like they were being shattered and reassembled.
He quickly turned his head to bite down on the pillowcase, veins bulging on his forehead and trembling slightly, his expression showing excruciating agony. When he realized the ribbon in his hand was slipping, he clutched it tightly, his fingers and knuckles turning pale.
Samuel… Samuel… Samuel…
Calling out Samuel’s name over and over in his mind, Sean found the pain somewhat more bearable. Just a little longer, and he would—he could…
The pain gradually subsided, replaced by a surge of energy and seemingly endless power.
Sean sat up, gazing at the sweat-soaked ribbon in his hand. He smoothed out its creases and carefully tucked it under his pillow.
The sky outside the window was already bright with dawn. It seemed that the person in the next room hadn’t stepped out the entire night, and this realization gave Sean a sense of relief.
He quickly took a shower, then walked to the wardrobe. The same transparent, beautiful wine glass, the sharp little knife, his healing wound, and the sweet blood were all there.
This time, he didn’t gently kiss the glass wall. Instead, he couldn’t wait and took large strides toward the room next door.
“Samuel!”
“Come in.”
The exchange was just like countless other days and nights before, except one person’s tone had become urgent.
Wei Xicheng looked up at the freshly adult young hunter, his short hair still damp, and his eyes were brighter than usual.
Today, he had thought that no one would bring him breakfast.
“Samuel!” Sean extended the cup forward. Every morning, he would personally hand this “gesture” to the person in front of him. “Try it!”
Wei Xicheng looked at the beautiful, fresh red color and didn’t take it.
Sean’s eyes gradually darkened.
“I’m leaving today, Sean,” Wei Xicheng said, carefully fastening the button on his collar. “You know.”
“Yes, I know…”
“Then, you shouldn’t have come this morning.” Wei Xicheng threw on his cloak and tied it. “You should be out looking for your target.”
This pureblood hunter had awakened. Wei Xicheng should have left last night, but his soft heart made him stay because the awakening process was usually accompanied by weakness and danger.
But now, it was because of his damn rare soft heart that he had gotten into this passive position. Who knew the kid would complete his awakening so quickly? And with no idea what abilities he had awakened, this was practically suicidal.
You want to be the good guy, but you’re naturally enemies. Wei Xicheng knew very well how much a pureblood Vampire’s head would attract a pureblood hunter eager for fame.
In his view, Sean was extremely eager to become a great hunter. Over the years, Wei Xicheng had never seen the kid slack off. This diligence and perseverance had unknowingly turned this non-vampire into someone who had unwittingly raised a deadly problem for the vampire clan.
Wei Xicheng chuckled bitterly. If the vampire clan found out he had raised this kid, they would probably hunt him down worldwide.
“Samuel, I won’t kill you. Believe me.” Sean turned his back to Wei Xicheng as he began to leave. Just before stepping out the door, he turned back again, “I just want to do something for you, one last time.”
He stubbornly extended the cup in his hand to the vampire, still holding it up.
“I think you should try it. It should taste even better now.”
Yes, it definitely tasted better. From the moment he had been outside the door, Wei Xicheng had already smelled it.
Wei Xicheng looked into Sean’s eyes. Initially, it was these pure and transparent eyes that had moved him, and for some unknown reason, he had taken the cup from Sean’s hand.
“Alright, Sean.”
After drinking it all, Wei Xicheng only felt a warm current swimming between his limbs and skeletons, which made him want to moan comfortably.
What’s more shameful was that he found that his legs were weak because of a cup of a daily drink.
Having no choice but to put his hand on the table, Wei Xicheng tried to maintain his calm surface. He attributed it all to physical reasons.
Vampires have desire when they eat, so most of the vampires lived a debauched life. But the higher the level of blood, the more picky they are about food. Naturally awakened pure blood like the original Samuel has higher requirements for blood quality.
Ordinary blood can only make them full, but not mobilise their desires.
But now, Wei Xicheng can’t care about these things, because what he drank now was equivalent to feeding himself a cup of spring medicine, which is still the highest level…
“Samuel?”
“Get out of here, Sean.” Wei Xicheng felt that his teeth were chattering, and his body shaking when he said this sentence.
“Get out of here!” Noticing that the figure was motionless, Wei Xicheng overturned the table, but he himself collapsed on the ground because he had lost the support.
Fuck!
Wei Xicheng wanted to kill himself at this time. What the hell!
He turned out the energy panel of the system and was slightly relieved after seeing that he can cross the world. He couldn’t do anything…
Warmth came from his arms and shoulders, and his eyes on the system panel told him that the energy bar was growing.
Wei Xicheng suddenly looked up at Sean, who was close at hand.
The face is as perfect as a sculpture, the facial features are clear, and those clear eyes show unfalsified care.
Fucking hell!
Fortunately, this man is still his lover…
…Wei Xicheng didn’t know how to describe his mood.
Under this double pressure, Wei Xicheng’s thoughts became trembling, and he accidentally clicked the energy similarity test of the system twice.
[100% similarity, suspected of being the same body], both times….
“You need to rest, Samuel.”
Sean picked up the slightly slender vampire and carefully put him on the bed, and then was hooked by the man on the bed before stepping back.
“You say…” The body of the man on the bed, which has always been slightly cold, has also become a little warm.
He tore off the tie of the cloak by himself, and even the buttons of the neckline have been torn off a few times, revealing the beautifully shaped collarbone.
“You won’t kill me, will you?”
“Never.” Sean’s eyes were deep, and he thought his goal may have been achieved.
When the person under him heard the answer, he tried to raise his head, left a mark on his lips, and then fell on the soft pillow. The long black hair scattered around him, which made his fair skin and red lips more enchanting.
Sean heard every cell all over his body, drumming. He looked at the Vampire lying on the bed and squinting at him, as if he was dreaming.
“Samuel, do you know what you’re doing?”
Sean didn’t look like his age at this time. Perhaps his strength had bought him confidence and momentum. He put one hand on Wei Xicheng’s ear and stroked Wei Xicheng’s lips with the other hand.
It was here that he kissed him just now.
“Sean.” The person under him seemed to have lost his mind and twisted his body a few times unbearablely. In the past, the calm and indifferent eyes were stained with lust, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were indescribable.
After hearing him calling his name, Sean couldn’t help lowering his head and gnawing the man’s lips, sighing in a low voice:
“Samuel, I’m never going to leave you…”
