Chapter 131: Saving the Tsundere, Ruthless Blood Hunter 26

The Elder now only wanted to be freed; his breathing gradually stalled, yet no matter what he could not pass out, nor could he die.

Others wanted to come to his rescue, but were stopped by Jin Chen, who remained invisible, preventing them from approaching Chu Tang.

Thus, the Elder was isolated and helpless; to be freed, he still spoke of the place where the spirit tablets were hidden.

"In... in the East Wing Room."

As soon as he finished saying that, Chu Tang immediately delivered the final blow, completely taking the Elder's life.

Jin Chen knocked the others unconscious and followed Chu Tang to the East Wing Room.

The East Wing Room was dilapidated; it had originally been where Chu Tang's parents and he lived as a child, but now it was used as a storage room, filled with all kinds of trash and discarded items.

Among a pile of discarded items surrounded by cobwebs, Chu Tang saw those two damaged spirit tablets.

His tears instantly rolled down.

His parents had no intact corpses, and the Chu family did not permit a memorial tomb; the only proof of their existence in this world were these two spirit tablets, now so faded that even the characters could not be made out.

Chu Tang disregarded the dirt and held them in his arms, just as he had been held by his mother when he was young.

"Over there! The traitor is over there!"

From outside the door came the voices of the Chu family guards.

We cannot stay here any longer.

Chu Tang wiped away his tears, clutched the spirit tablets, and intended to leave through the back door.

"Stop!! Don't run!"

"Chase him!"

"He killed the Elder and the family head, and injured many others! Hurry and capture him!"

The number of pursuers behind him grew, and by the time Chu Tang reached the back door, he was already completely surrounded.

He held the spirit tablets in one hand, drew his blade, and his eyes were fierce.

"Get out of the way!"

Chu Tang shouted coldly.

He feared that recklessly attacking and fighting so many people would damage the tablets, so he could only try to intimidate the guards with his aura.

However, they seemed to understand this as well, not fearing Chu Tang's ferocity at all, and they all swarmed forward to attack.

Just then.

Jin Chen suddenly struck out, his strong spiritual power surging forth; in an instant, he overturned the guards who had rushed forward.

The remaining people were incredulous, their intention to act beginning to hesitate.

"Who's in there! Come out at once!"

The leader shouted loudly.

Jin Chen also had no need to remain hidden.

To create a better intimidating effect, he bared his fangs, his green pupils turning dark red, and revealed himself before everyone.

"Huh..."

He grimaced at the crowd, eyes wide open, looking extremely ferocious.

"Aaaah—"

The leader was the first to drop his weapon, shouting as he ran backward.

"Run!! It's a vampire!"

"Run, run!"

The guards scattered like birds and beasts, completely forgetting that they were blood hunters.

Jin Chen happily retracted his fangs.

Scaring people is still quite fun.

Chu Tang stood there, dazed.

It was Jin Chen...

The mysterious person who had just helped him was Jin Chen.

He had saved him once again.

{Host! Character setting! Are you still angry now! }

0731 saw Jin Chen having a blast and hurriedly reminded him.

"Cough cough..."

Jin Chen hastily restrained his smile, gave two low coughs, seeming extremely weak.

"Jin Chen!"

Chu Tang was indeed frightened by him, quickly supporting Jin Chen's arm, "Are you alright?"

"Not good, it hurts to death."

Jin Chen answered with a cold face, expressionless.

He snorted coldly and turned away.

"I'm not afraid you'll get hurt, not at all! I just wanted to come and have a look at the human settlement!"

{... }

What a classic case of "there's no silver here, three hundred taels".

0731 sighed in admiration.

Chu Tang listened, and his sorrowful mood also spilled out a bit of amusement.

He tilted his head, seeming not to understand.

"But don't you think humans are all smelly? Why would you voluntarily come to a human settlement?"

After asking, he still carefully grabbed Jin Chen's collar.

If I don't try, how would I know? Maybe I can still find a human who doesn't stink.

Jin Chen said seriously, "Then I can take you back to the castle as rations."

No way!

Chu Tang immediately retorted upon hearing that.

He softened his voice, "Jin Chen, don't do this,"

Jin Chen ignored him.

Chu Tang moved to face Jin Chen again, changing his grip from the collar to the sleeve, his almond eyes slightly red, lashes trembling, a pitiful look.

He didn't want to see Jin Chen drink someone else's blood.

Just thinking about it makes him unhappy.

Jin Chen really wanted to keep ignoring him.

But it was obviously impossible.

"Jin Chen..."

Chu Tang had never acted coquettish before; not knowing how to calm Jin Chen, he could only repeat his name over and over with a trembling, weak voice.

Suddenly, Chu Tang's cheek was pinched, and he looked up in surprise.

It happened to meet Jin Chen's accusing gaze.

"You're really bad."

Jin Chen pinched the youth's soft cheek but couldn't bring himself to press hard, "After staying in the castle this long, you never even thought of telling me the truth."

"... I don't dare."

Chu Tang lowered his eyes, the corner of his mouth turning further down.

He feared that if he spoke early, he wouldn't even have time to choose to leave.

"I'm going to take you back and tie you up."

Jin Chen snorted coldly, "Don't ever let yourself out again! Look how dangerous the outside is!"

"You can still go back!"

Chu Tang's almond eyes brightened, "No need to tie... let me bury my parents' spirit tablets, then can I go back with you?"

"No! I'm going to tie you up and take you back."

Jin Chen's tone was no longer as cold and hard as before; it rather felt like he was saying one thing but meaning another.

"Where do you want to bury them?"

"Not far, just the mountain behind."

Chu Tang looked up into the distance, his eyes glimmering.

"There, they have their favorite camellias."

Then he heard Jin Chen sigh behind him, the familiar embrace wrapping around him again.

"Come on, I'll go with you."

Chu Tang finally broke into a smile through tears.

He softly sniffed, actively rubbing against Jin Chen's embrace.

—

Jin Chen and Chu Tang together buried the spirit tablets under the camellia bushes without damaging the roots.

Snow-white camellias stretched in patches, pure and flawless.

Just like Chu Tang's parents' feelings and their determination to protect humanity.

After doing all that, Chu Tang was covered in dirt, his clothes torn a bit, but his cheeks were exceptionally clean and delicate; standing in the jungle, he looked like a little elf who had just rolled in the mud.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -25! Total 0! Yay!】

Jin Chen pulled a soft rope from his bosom.

【!!!】

0731 instantly got excited.

It really is a captivity story!

"If you don't obey, I won't just let it go."

Jin Chen, in front of Chu Tang, bound his hands, then wrapped the rope around his back and tied a knot.

Chu Tang blinked, his wrists bound behind him twitching slightly.

No wonder he felt no pain; it was just a loose loop, easy to break free at any time.

He suppressed a smile, stood obediently still, and looked up at Jin Chen.

"I won't leave, never again."

"Jin Chen, will you give me your first embrace?"

Now the only person he cares about most in the world is left as one.

He stands right before his eyes.

The identity of the Blood Hunter, the rivalry between the Secret Party and the Demon Party—all have vanished like smoke.

Jin Chen licked his fangs, the boy's words stirring his heart into turbulent waves.

He bent down, lifted Chu Tang horizontally, and instantly teleported.

"I won't let you go again."

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +9! Total 100! Yay!】

Inside the castle.

Xisen sensed Jin Chen's aura, somewhat surprised, looking toward the door.

Your Highness moves so fast, no wonder it's him!

After straightening his cravat, he led the servants forward to greet.

A competent and excellent steward, even upon seeing his own Highness bind the young master and hold him in his arms, would still not show surprise, bowing with a smile.

"Welcome home, Your Highness and young master."

Chutang, who had curled up into Jin Chen's embrace out of embarrassment, heard those words.

A warm current suddenly surged in his heart.

From now on, this is his home.

The Chu Yong ceremony went smoothly; the two fooled around for three full days, and by the time Houston in the palace discovered Chutang's identity, it was already a done deal.

He had already transformed into an excellent blood clan member.

Houston, furious, fought with Jin Chen, ending in a crushing defeat, and finally accepted this former blood hunter's sister-in-law.
