Chapter 2344

One mouthful down.

"Ah ya~"

Qi Yue cried out in pain.

Zhao Chi was startled: "Does it hurt?"

Qi Yue said with a touch of grievance: "My lord, how could you really bite me? Do you want to take a bite of my flesh too?"

Zhao Chi asked in confusion: "Don't you usually just bite directly?"

Qi Yue said: "Use the tip of the tongue… It's fine, if my lord wants to bite, I can bear it…"

Though Qi Yue was annoyed, she tiptoed once more.

Zhao Chi thought it over.

Every time, Qi Yue didn't actually use her teeth — she let her tongue glide across, then began to suck.

Zhao Chi tried lowering his head as well.

His tongue slid sideways.

Sliiip~

Siiip siiip siiip siiip siiip siiip~

It really was like that!

Zhao Chi didn't feel any change in his tongue, nor any sharp sensation — so how did such a light glide immediately leave tiny holes in the skin and blood vessels on Qi Yue's neck?

But before Zhao Chi could wonder, an exquisitely fragrant sweetness filled his entire mouth.

How could it taste like this?

Zhao Chi was often injured, and would suck the blood from his wounds for simple disinfection.

His mouth had been injured before too, so he'd tasted blood directly.

It tasted metallic.

Or rather, like rust.

When had it changed into this fragrant sweetness?

"Is it good?" Qi Yue asked, watching Zhao Chi with a smile.

"It's good…" Zhao Chi answered honestly.

"What does it taste like?"

"A fragrant sweetness."

"So that's what I taste like. My lord can try Tang Ruan's — hers is a milky scent, like a child who hasn't grown up."

Tang Ruan laughed: "You're the one who hasn't grown up. The New Year has already passed, I'm already nineteen. You wouldn't let me snatch it just now, and now you're actively letting my lord come to me — Qi Yue, you really are fickle."

"Let my lord taste more of the numbness; once this period passes, he won't be able to taste it anymore."

"Mm, I'm perfectly willing anyway."

Zhao Chi said: "Qi Yue, I'd like to taste yours again — just a small mouthful."

Qi Yue laughed softly: "Of course, no problem. My lord, please enjoy as much as you like. Drinking a little more is fine too — after all, your saliva can heal me instantly."

Then one more sip!

Wow~

The fragrance simply lingered on the tongue.

A lingering aftertaste.

No wonder vampires are so passionate about sucking blood.

Perhaps for them, blood is not only a way to fill their stomachs, but also a pleasure?

Pulling away from Qi Yue's neck, he saw there really was only a very, very small wound — but it had already healed rapidly.

Outside the wound, however, there were two rows of tooth marks…

Those were from the bite at the very start — no wonder Qi Yue had cried out softly in pain. Tooth marks aren't injuries, so they weren't healed, and remained there…

Next… was Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan was ready too.

She had already stretched out her neck, nestling into his arms.

Zhao Chi held her tight and sucked hard.

It really was bursting with milky fragrance.

Blood could actually taste like this?

If he didn't suck from the neck, but from… would the taste be richer?

…Probably not.

This is the taste of blood — only the blood inside the vessels is the most plentiful.

That place wasn't never sucked before either — he sucked it every night for fun — but there was no taste at all.

Finished sucking blood.

Zhao Chi really did feel different.

In a wonderful mood.

Full of energy.

He truly wanted to have a big battle right away.

Whether it was a big battle with Tang Ruan and the other women, or a real big battle with the werewolves, either would do.

Although the matter here was already considered done — clearing the evacuation obstacles for everyone — he couldn't go back yet.

He still had to search for spoils of war.

After the giant tree wins the battle, we still need to go search the Hydra and Storm Titan corpses.

Even without a token, we must extract the Storm Titan's lightning meridians.

Leaving now would really be too much of a pity.

Just wait a little longer.

The giant tree's victory shouldn't take long.

"Let's go, we can get a bit closer to the battlefield."

"Okay!"

One man and two women immediately set off, moving closer to the southern battlefield.

The enormous ancient giant tree was off to the front-left, and further ahead were three Titans closing in from flanking angles.

Four colossal beings rapidly closed the distance between one another.

When they were still several hundred meters apart, the three Titans stopped simultaneously, and massive lightning radiance lit up on their arms.

The next instant, three thick bolts of Bai Guang flashed and vanished.

Immediately after, three thunderclaps exploded at the same time!

Crack! Boom-boom-boom-boom!!!

Deafening!

The entire space seemed to be trembling.

The advancing giant tree stopped instantly.

Thick currents of electricity surrounded the giant tree, transmitting ring after ring around its body, like a dazzling neon light.

Every branch was trembling.

Countless leaves were shaking.

Rustle-rustle-rustle-rustle-rustle—

Immediately after, large amounts of white smoke rose from the giant tree's body.

Vast numbers of leaves fell off, like giant pink butterflies fluttering down in profusion.

"Squeak!!!"

At this moment, a piercing sound of wood grinding rang out, and the giant tree took another step with its tree-legs.

Thud!

Still, the earth shook and mountains trembled.

The three Titans lingered in place for half a second—perhaps in shock—then also began closing in on the giant tree again.

The Lei Guang on their arms was dimmer, clearly having consumed a great deal of energy.

Next, they struck a stance, just like when dealing with the Nine-Headed Lizard earlier, as if preparing for close combat.
