Chapter 129: Saving the Arrogant, Tsundere, Ruthless Blood Hunter 24

"... What conditions?"

Chu Tang subconsciously asked.

Jin Chen walked back to the bedside, the hilt still gripped in his hand.

His aura completely changed, no longer as gentle as before, appearing domineering and strong.

This feeling made Chu Tang feel unfamiliar.

His heart suddenly quickened, wanting to retreat backward.

But he was again grabbed by the chin and pulled over.

"... Price..."

Jin Chen murmured lowly, his gaze fixed on the boy's red lips, a hint of desire flashing in his eyes.

As their gazes rose, they finally locked eyes.

Chu Tang could distinctly feel the sensation of his body hair standing on end.

At that moment, he even felt like he was livestock being eyed by a wild beast.

Panicked and uneasy, he wanted to escape.

The next second, his ankle was seized and he was violently yanked toward the bed.

Chu Tang's sleep robe was already loose; being pulled like that, his chest was exposed in a large expanse.

He was ashamed and indignant, kicking and struggling.

"Jin Chen! Let go!"

"The price is, Tang Tang feeds me."

Jin Chen chuckled lightly, the corner of his mouth curling in amusement, ignoring Chu Tang's struggles, he lowered his gaze and leaned forward, enveloping the much slimmer boy in his arms.

"... Mm!"

Suddenly enveloped by an icy agarwood scent, Chu Tang's lips were bitten; he cried out in pain, the hand he raised to resist froze in the next instant.

How could he... feel Jin Chen's tears?

The tear that slid across his neck was icy cold, stabbing into Chu Tang's heart; his tangled, complex thoughts coalesced into a net, pressing him until he could barely breathe.

Jin Chen was crying...

Chu Tang's eyelashes trembled slightly, a strange color flashing in his pupils.

He stopped struggling, his trembling arm slowly lowered and rested on Jin Chen's shoulder.

This kiss was more intense than any before.

Just as Chu Tang was about to run out of breath, Jin Chen finally released his bruised, swollen lips, trailing down to his collarbone, his fangs extending.

"Mmm..."

Chu Tang turned his head, biting his own finger, the corners of his eyes reddening, his whole body going limp and weak.

As long as the blood clan is willing, when a human is sucked of blood it feels like a union of consciousness, and Chu Tang was about to sink completely into it.

The tense atmosphere in the bedroom finally eased, a hint of ambiguity drifting in.

But just then.

Jin Chen seemed to have had enough, burying his face in Chu Tang's neck, nibbling a small piece of tender white flesh.

A low voice sounded in Chu Tang's ear.

I like you.

At the same time, he pulled his hand toward his chest.

The sound of the blade piercing flesh was especially harsh.

Chu Tang's eyes widened in disbelief as he turned his head, his dazed gaze instantly clearing.

He jerked upright, pulling his hand free from Jin Chen's grip and the hilt.

"Jin Chen..."

"Tang Tang's mission is to kill me; returning empty-handed won't do."

Jin Chen unhesitatingly pulled out the blade.

The wounded chest instantly gushed cold blood.

He casually grabbed a cloth to wipe it away.

And the mechanism of the short dagger was pressed, blood congealing in the groove; Jin Chen placed it beside Chu Tang.

Chu Tang shook his head in panic, trembling fingertips trying to help Jin Chen stop the bleeding, but he dodged away.

You go.

Jin Chen sighed lowly, turned and left the bedroom straight away.

Watching the man's retreating back, Chu Tang's expression was pained, his hands clenched around the dagger's hilt, head bowed as he silently wept.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +15! Total 96!】

——

Jin Chen bore Xi Sen's surprised gaze as he returned to his own room.

0731 was already dumbfounded.

It had been so frightened earlier it didn't dare make a sound!!

Shipping CP was hitting its peak! The Host slammed himself with a knife!!

Scared the wits out of the system!!

【Host, Host…… what's the meaning of you doing this?】

【Breaking the cocoon.】

Jin Chen's palm glowed with a faint Spiritual Power as he pressed it to the wound; his pained expression faded and the bleeding stopped.

If he still followed the previous method, he estimated he wouldn't want to stay before his Heartbeat Value reached full score.

Little Pitiful One has left; you can only wait alone in the castle for him to return, can't you?

I can follow.

Jin Chen changed his clothes, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and overlooked the entire castle.

Suddenly, a hint of faint light flashed across his dark green pupils.

The youth in dark clothes passed through the garden, about to leave the castle.

In the next second, Jin Chen's figure disappeared.

The castle's Main Gate slowly closed.

Xisen watched Chu Tang's departing back, then bowed elegantly.

Waiting for the two masters' return.

——

Chu Tang stubbornly endured his reluctance and sorrow, all the way leaving the Nether Moon Forest and arriving in the human realm.

As he stepped onto the street, he suddenly turned around and glanced into the dark depths of the forest.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had crossed worlds.

When he entered, he held the resolve to face death as if returning home; yet when he left, he left behind the person he longed for there.

Jin Chen stood beside him, following his gaze.

What is my wife looking at? This isn't dangerous either.

Chu Tang looked for a long time, finally sighed, and walked onto the street.

Chu Family.

When the gate guard saw Chu Tang, he initially thought he was a noble young master from some family, about to salute, but then realized this face was somewhat familiar.

"You are... Chu Tang!"

The gate guard was astonished: 'You're actually still alive... and, and still dressed like that!'

He examined him up and down in disbelief, as if seeing a ghost.

"You weren't supposed to have gone to the blood clan? Yet you returned completely unharmed."

After saying that, the gate guard seemed to realize something, his gaze turning strange: 'Oh... I get it, you couldn't have become a blood servant for some noble, could you?'

Chu Tang twitched the corner of his mouth, unwilling to respond, and stepped over the threshold into the interior.

His silence in others' eyes was taken as acquiescence.

For a moment, several gate guards gathered together and began gossiping.

Jin Chen gave them a cold glance, and Spiritual Power shot out.

"Ah——"

The gate guard who had spoken earlier was hit by the Spiritual Power, flying three meters away.

He was in so much pain he couldn't stand, and shouted.

"Someone has intruded—quick, be on guard!"

This shout alerted the others.

Jin Chen instantly withdrew his hand, touched his nose, and followed his own wife.

Chu Tang frowned and looked back, not knowing why the gate guard had suddenly collapsed; when he turned his head again, he saw a group of people rushing forward with weapons.

The leader was the current head of the Chu Family, his great uncle Chu Fangwei.

Chu Tang: '......'

Today is really weird.

"Chu Tang, how come you're back now?"

Chu Fangwei walked out with his hands behind his back, deep furrows forming between his brows, stern and severe.

"Is the mission completed?"

Chu Tang drew his short dagger and threw it at his feet.

Chu Fangwei didn't pay much attention to his attitude; obviously, this hadn't been just a day or two.

His subordinate behind him bent down to pick up the short dagger, pulling the blade out of the sheath, revealing congealed blood inside.

"Got it!"

Chu Fangwei was overjoyed, his eyes appreciative as he looked at Chu Tang: 'You actually did a good thing.'
