"I'll trust you this time. Where did you learn about Su Xiyan's identity?"
Chen Shuo was more concerned about this. It was their first time in Rong City, and being approached right away couldn't be a mere coincidence.
"Su Xiyan, the Demon Hunter from Su City who slaughtered over thirty Advanced Vampires in one night. This news has spread like wildfire everywhere."
"Moreover, she's caught the attention of the Demon Hunter headquarters in the capital. Even a Legendary Demon Hunter personally sought her out. Such a sensational event - who wouldn't know about it?"
Upon hearing this explanation, Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo couldn't help but exchange glances.
Su Xiyan's eyes held a hint of resentment. If it weren't for Chen Shuo's words back then, there wouldn't have been such a commotion.
As the saying goes, fame brings trouble just as fat brings slaughter to pigs. Once famous, good things may or may not come, but bad things will surely flood in endlessly.
Just like now - they had barely entered Rong City's territory, and Vampires were already seeking them out.
It seemed unlikely they'd have any peaceful days ahead.
However, Chen Shuo now understood why they were approached. It must be because of the Legendary Demon Hunter's visit to Su Xiyan. This person wanted to use Su Xiyan's connection to have the Legendary Demon Hunter turn him back into a human.
"So you found us because you want..."
"I know a group of Vampires like me. They're inherently good, forced to become Vampires. They all want to renounce evil and return to virtue. If you can change us, we'll serve you like oxen and horses!"
Before Su Xiyan could finish speaking, the other party rushed to express his intentions.
This situation was unexpected for both of them. Chen Shuo had thought he was the only one, but there were many others like this?
If that was true, it seemed he wasn't an isolated case after all.
"How many of you are there like this?" Chen Shuo asked, somewhat intrigued by the other's words.
"This many." The hip-hop styled man held up two fingers.
"Two?"
"No, twenty. With me, it's twenty-one. Seven Intermediate Vampires and thirteen Advanced Vampires."
Such a number caught Chen Shuo's attention. Although these people were small fry in his eyes, and he could turn them to dust anytime he wanted, in this world, it's better to have more friends than enemies.
Moreover, their strength wasn't bad among Vampires. If they could all be brought under his command, it seemed like a good deal.
This way, he'd have some helpers. Despite his strength, he didn't really need them, but having extra hands was always good.
Furthermore, Su City was constantly in turmoil, and there were many people around him who needed protection.
No matter how strong he was, he couldn't be everywhere at once.
If they joined, it could ease his burden.
However, there was a difficult problem to solve. The Legendary Demon Hunter wasn't Su Xiyan or her father, but Xu Changjun.
They weren't familiar with this person; he was just sent from above to meet Su Xiyan.
Moreover, this person had an impatient personality and a strong hatred for evil. When encountering Vampires, he would kill first and ask questions later.
Sending them to Xu Changjun would be like sending them on the Path to the Underworld, wouldn't it?
If it was just one, Su Xiyan might be able to find a way.
But over twenty? Even if the Legendary Demon Hunter was powerful, he couldn't turn so many Vampires back into normal humans in a short time, could he?
Besides, the price a Legendary Demon Hunter would pay to turn Vampires back into ordinary humans was unknown.
After so many years, no Legendary Demon Hunter had been seen using this ability, so accomplishing this seemed somewhat far-fetched.
"It's not that we're unwilling, but implementing this might be difficult..." Chen Shuo explained, outlining their current predicament.
He didn't want to deceive them, nor did he intend to. Since becoming a Vampire, he too had constantly wished to return to being human.
It was precisely because of this shared suffering that he couldn't bring himself to deceive them.
Perhaps he could agree now and worry about fulfilling the promise later. But Chen Shuo didn't do that, nor would he.
"I understand that, of course. We just need a promise, and we can wait! As long as you agree, we're willing to serve you with utmost loyalty, sparing no effort."
The hip-hop styled man spoke, kneeling on one knee, his attitude reverent.
The sincerity was evident in his dark eyes.
Chen Shuo turned his gaze to Su Xiyan beside him. If they were to truly help, it would depend on Su Xiyan.
Even he himself was waiting for Su Xiyan to become a Legendary Demon Hunter to help him turn back into a human, so the decision largely rested with Su Xiyan.
Su Xiyan was lost in thought. In her professional career, she had never encountered such a situation.
Although she wasn't an indecisive person, deep down she was still kind-hearted.
Especially feeling the other's sincerity, it moved Su Xiyan to compassion.
"I can promise to try my best to help you, but..."
"Thank you, Miss Su! Thank you, Miss Su!"
Before Su Xiyan could finish, the hip-hop styled man excitedly interrupted.
"Let me finish what I was saying, I..."
"No need to finish. As long as you're willing to speak, nothing else matters. You're the future prodigy. When you become legendary, you'll surely be able to fulfill your promise to us."
Once again, Su Xiyan's words were cut off. The hip-hop styled man seemed afraid she might change her mind, agreeing so promptly.
However, this Vampire was quite perceptive, knowing Su Xiyan's status and understanding the concept of playing the long game.
His calculations weren't bad. Once Su Xiyan became a Legendary Demon Hunter, given how highly she was regarded, it wouldn't be impossible for her to enter the capital and take that seat of power in the future.
It was a gamble, but the wisest gamble.
"Don't agree so quickly. What if I can't do it..." Su Xiyan was conflicted. She wasn't sure if she had that ability, so she dared not make any grand promises.
Otherwise, she might end up hurting not just one person, but many.
"Don't worry, you still have me, right? I'll help you. Since they're being so sincere, wouldn't we seem a bit... you know... if we don't agree?"
Seeing Su Xiyan unable to decide, Chen Shuo took the initiative to agree for her: "We agree to your request. However, words are just words. You need to prove your loyalty first."
"Oh? How should I prove it?" The hip-hop styled man looked puzzled.
Chen Shuo didn't respond. Instead, with a wave of his hand, a blood formation appeared in mid-air, inscribed with profound mystical symbols, emanating a chilling aura.
