"How did you find out about my identity? Do vampires have some special way of communicating with each other?"
Su Xiyan said as she turned her gaze towards Chen Shuo beside her.
It seemed like she was seeking confirmation from Chen Shuo, which left him momentarily speechless.
Although he was a vampire, he had never mingled with other vampires, so he wasn't quite sure if they had any special communication methods.
However, in his opinion, it probably wasn't the case.
After all, vampires also had their own system, much like Demon Hunters.
There was no inherent connection between cities, especially among vampire groups, where strength was the ultimate authority.
As long as one was strong enough, they were the boss of that place.
Of course, this also applied to Demon Hunters, but humans were different from vampires. They had additional factors like seniority, experience, and so on.
These factors, along with seniority and combat experience, would influence whether they could become the leader of a city's Demon Hunters.
But for vampires, strength represented everything.
"It's a long story. If you're willing, please follow me to a place, and I'll explain everything there."
After saying that, the hip-hop man made an inviting gesture.
This left Su Xiyan at a loss, as it was her first time encountering such a situation.
Su Xiyan first looked at Chen Shuo, wanting to see what his opinion was.
Initially, Chen Shuo had some hostility towards this person. But after their conversation and seeing the other's sincerity, Chen Shuo felt that it wasn't impossible to talk things out.
Besides, communicating with the other party might yield some information he wanted.
After all, this person wasn't their match, so Chen Shuo had nothing to fear.
Chen Shuo nodded at Su Xiyan, who then stopped hesitating and said, "Lead the way."
Under the hip-hop man's guidance, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan arrived at a residential building in a bustling area.
Although the location was lively, the environment here was cold and damp, which was a good place for vampires to stay.
Before going upstairs, Chen Shuo, for safety reasons, activated his system to carefully investigate the surroundings.
He found that apart from this vampire, there were no other vampires nearby.
This meant there were no ambushes.
After leading Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan into the room, the hip-hop man finally removed his disguise, revealing his hideous face.
However, for someone who had seen the true form of vampires before, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan didn't show much emotional fluctuation.
"We've come as you requested. Now, can you tell us what you want from us?"
"And how did you find out about my identity?"
Before the other party could speak, Su Xiyan voiced her doubts.
The hip-hop man didn't rush to answer. Instead, he brewed tea for the two before slowly explaining, "The story is complicated, so I'll make it brief. I wasn't always a vampire; I was... a normal person. But one day, I encountered a female vampire, and that's how I became like this..."
Hearing this, Chen Shuo felt a sense of familiarity.
This... wasn't it the same as his own experience? Originally a normal person, but by a twist of fate, he became a vampire.
Listening to the other's story, Chen Shuo felt some sympathy.
After all, they were in the same boat. Compared to him, Chen Shuo was luckier because he had a system and met Su Xiyan.
It was Su Xiyan's presence that helped him achieve what he is today.
But this person wasn't so fortunate. After becoming a vampire, he had to evade various pursuits every day. Unwilling to drink human blood, he could only rely on animal blood to sustain his life.
His abnormal behavior made him a disgrace among vampires, ridiculed and ostracized.
He was completely isolated.
The meaning of his existence was to regain his humanity.
He knew there was only one way: to undergo the baptism of a legendary Demon Hunter. Only this method could turn him back into his former self.
His purpose for finding Su Xiyan was to use her connections to transform back into a human.
Su Xiyan was deeply touched by the hip-hop man's story.
She wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish between good and evil. In fact, she believed that not all vampires were bad.
Just like when she met Chen Shuo, she believed that he was different from ordinary vampires, which was why she spared him.
Now, this person was very similar to Chen Shuo at that time. If she had the chance to help him, she would naturally be willing to lend a hand.
But Su Xiyan was easy to persuade, Chen Shuo was not.
From the other's words, he found many inconsistencies.
"Wait, there are many problems in your story. The biggest one is, if you only drink animal blood, how did you become a Half Ghost King?"
As a vampire, Chen Shuo knew best what vampires needed to improve.
It was blood, endless blood. From a low-level vampire to a high-level one, one had to drink the blood of hundreds or even thousands of people.
A Half Ghost King required an even more exaggerated amount; otherwise, they couldn't grow and might even starve to death.
Just like him back then, if it weren't for the nutrient solution provided by the system, he would have died.
But this person only relied on animal blood to reach such strength? That... was impossible, unless...
Unless he also had a system, but systems weren't common.
How could one just have it? Besides, if he really had a system, he wouldn't need to seek help from them.
"This..."
At this point, the hip-hop man hesitated.
Seeing his reluctance to speak, Chen Shuo was about to leave with Su Xiyan.
"Wait, I'll tell you. Actually, I became a Half Ghost King because I accidentally drank the blood of my kind..."
The hip-hop man's voice grew softer and softer, and if not for the quiet surroundings, it would have been hard to hear him.
But his words shocked Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan.
Blood of his kind? This... was possible?
As a Demon Saint, Chen Shuo had never heard of such a possibility.
Although examples of vampires killing each other were not rare, drinking each other's blood was something he had never heard of.
"But you can rest assured, the vampires I drank the blood of were all wicked and deserved it!"
Facing the hip-hop man's words, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan found it hard to accept.
However, since the other party was willing to be honest, they decided to trust him once and continue listening.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
