Zhi Rui nodded. "Sweety, can I get some alcohol? that one made from barley will do. Two cups."another wide plate with two iced transparent gla.s.s mugs came with a yellow drink inside.
She smiled at Zhun Xuing, "Taste it, it"s quite different."
Zhi Rui took a big gulp and nibbled on an olive that came along.
Zhun Xuying was still frowning but still drink it and widened her eyes.
"This is good!" She exclaimed.
Zhi Rui nodded, "I knew you"d like this kind of sour drink."
they drink it until the end. not both more relaxed, Zhi Rui looked at Zhun Xuying.
"So ho that come to be?" She asked.
Zhun Xuying tried to look stern again, but after the sixth mug filled to the brim, she was gently swaying. They both chose not to wear off the effect of the drink.
"That girl is crazy. The day you left, Izumy said she disappeared for the night, and only appeared in the morning. She told a story about walking to her housing when suddenly everything chilled and she woke up in the middle of a cave. She talked to a voice and inherited an ancient legacy."
Zhi Rui couldn"t hold back and laugh at Zhun Xuying trying to sound serious while swaying with a drunken blush.
The woman blushed, even more, her neck and entire face became complete red. She tried harder to remain stern in that way. but her straight back swayed from side to side.
"I"m serious Zhi Rui. hic, that girl is trouble."
"Ahahah!" Zhi Rui lied down on her back and laughed.
Zhun Xuying tired of it just pounced above her.
Zhi Rui stopped and smiled. Zhun Xuying came down and kissed deeply.
"Good," Zhi Rui said and embraced the woman. they fooled around for a good long hour.

Inside a cla.s.sroom on the community center, Zhi Rui sat in front of a slightly timid Ren Zu
"She changed completely." Zhi Rui thought. "She has a completely different aura. The way she carries herself, small habits, it"s like she"s another person altogether"
"So, how did this happened?" Zhi Rui asked with a smile.
Smiling brightly Ren Zu talked in detail about everything.
She felt a col in the middle of her forehead and woke up on a cave with red waterfall it parted for her to enter. A crystal coffin with a chalice filled with blood was in the middle of the room.
A voice told her it was the place of rest. Of the last descendant from the great vampiric lineage. ancient blood manipulators. from a time so old, that no records of their existence existed.
She was told it was her destiny. since she found the cave.
The chalice floated to her. An instinct rose and the thought of being able to serve Zhi Rui took possession of her and she opened her mouth.
The salty and metal flavor of blood never felt so good on the tongue.
through the night she stayed unconscious. But when she woke up She was at the first level of cultivation,
Information about her core, abilities, and skills flooded her mind.
Listening till here Zhi Rui looked a the in the eyes.
"Is that necklace from there too?" Zhi Rui asked"
"Oh?" Ren Zu tilted for a second and looked down, her eye opened wide, a collar she had never seen before her life was hanging there, she couldn"t even feel it on her skin.
"Ah- w-when?"
Zhi Rui"s eyes glimmered
"It"s a storage necklace."
Ren Zu was surprised, She guided her inner energy in and took everything out.
Small crystal cases filled with blood, a book with human skin as cover and two scrolls.
Ren Zu was astounded. The voice had disappeared after explaining to her what was inside, but not once did it mentioned the necklace.
It told her that to truly help Zhi Rui, she can"t raise her suspicion.
So she only spoke briefly, never mentioning l.u.s.t and the story of the beginning of existence.
The voice said that as long as he has Zhi Rui"s well being in mind, and doesn"t directly lie, then Zhi Rui wouldn"t suspect her. So she lied by omission. even though she didn"t tell vital part it didn"t matter as she didn"t feel guilty about it, hence she didn"t alert Zhi Rui" senses.
She looked as Zhi Rui gently touched the book.
Zhi Rui opened a bright smile "Can I take a look?"
Ren Zu immediately nodded even if it was her legacy, her life form now on was Zhi Rui"s so was her property.
Zhi Rui read the book fast, the ancient language was one of many that the old man inside of her had learned, she forced it out of him instead of letting him read it. She instantly learned. with lightning speed she memorized everything on the book, she revises everything from memory later.
(You"re not supposed to be overburdening your mind like this.)
Zhi Rui ignored the old man. And gave the book back to Ren Zu.
SHe then gently touched the woman" forehead with her finger and closed her eyes. Like the old man did with her, she transferred the entires ancient language to Ren Zu.
She opened her eye to see Ren Zu"s moving eyes.
"Why spread it? vampires are a kind of being that"s heavily guarded against. If the people here get wind that a vampire is in the country, every major for around would send people against you. some for your body and some simply wanting to execute you. although not as much as the necromancers, vampires are quite shunned."
Ren Zu looked to the side shyly.
"I-I wanted to be more useful for you, so I-I didn"t think, and went straight to Izumy about it, hoping that she would tell you."
Looking at the woman"s shy behavior, you couldn"t see any problems but Zhi Rui knew deep down this woman was damaged and broken by the things that happened to her. She might claim the serving Zhi Rui is purely out of grat.i.tude and duty. And she genuinely might believe it.
But Zhi Rui looked deeper, Serving Zhi Rui who seemed like her savior is clinging on to hope. Is trying to keep the last flame from disappearing.
A despairing being trying to find something, anything to hang on to.
And she just turned out to inherit an ancient lineage. Something more strong and pure than any vampiric descendants of today...
"Congratulations, your wish was granted." Zhi Rui said sternly.
Ren Zu froze and looked at Zhi Rui with wide eyes.
"From now on you"ll follow me. Together with Zhun Xuying, Hilda, Izaya. Those are the ones bound to me.
Zhi Rui ceased her stern act and leaned in, she caressed her cheeks and kissed her forehead affectionally. Her voice softly reached REn Zu"s ears.
"Now follow me to meet them." Zhi Rui said. Go up, and left.
With tears streaming down, Ren Zu bowed down and mumbled some kind of grat.i.tude.
Out of the cla.s.sroom, Zh Rui suddenly felt an aggressive pressure from behind like a beast staring down at the prey. A chill crawled down her spine, and she grinned. She knew exactly who it was.
Before she could turn around a sudden gloomy wine red aura spread around like a fog.
"Stop, Ren Zu." She said softly.
Ren Zu was staring at Izaya, her hair grew long, she grew taller and her bust and hips enlarged, she looked devilish.
Her dark red eyes stared at Izaya, her canine teeth clearly showing.
Izaya looked amused.
A second later the woman fell unconscious. Zhi Rui held her and looked at Izaya, licking her lips.
"Later let"s give it a go again to test out that fourth level strength. Maybe this time you can actually amount to something. quite frankly the last time I thought I was in bed with Hilda."
Zhi Rui laughed and jumped away towards the forest.
Izyaa snorted.
"She"s similar to mother right? I remember how when your two fought mother always called you half a man." Izumy"s voice came to him.
"Humpf, Finding the men"s b.u.t.tons and pus.h.i.+ng it nonstop, is just innate ability women are born with."
"Blaming it on the woman, how ~"
A slap came down as fast as an eagle"s pounce.
Izumy Jumped to the side rapidly covering her b.u.t.t
"Old man! I"m too old for b.u.t.t smacking! are you crazy!?
"Humpft If it"s my daughter I"ll slap her a.s.s to correct her actions even if her husband is in the room!"
He said while jumping after her.
"Azula, you"re my guard, help me!"
Azula that was ahead of the air looked at Izaya and said: "If you let me spank her little b.u.t.t once, I"ll grab her for you." She said with a grin.
"Azula!" Izumy panicked.
"Hehe" A vein bulged on Izaya"s forehead and he chuckled menacingly. "On the day of your sleepover, I visited, and guess what kind of sound my beastly hearing sense caught from my little girl"s bedroom?"
Izumy"s face turned from deathly pale to a burning red, she moved every bit of energy she had and used Hilda"s ability to runway away and disappear.
Izaya stood towering over Azula. She was trembling with cold sweat at his malevolent grin.
"From what I heard, you had your fair share of spanking my daughter"s b.u.t.t."
Azula paled. Her mouth opening and closing like a fish, but no words came out.

From a building far away from then Bianca watched, amused.
"Is this necessary? Complete vigilance?" A deep voice resounded behind her.
Bianca nodded "I underestimated that girl, I won"t anymore."
The level five servant whose name changed according to Bianca"s whim sighed and disappeared.
