章節 9: Little fox
"Look! The beast?" Nero asked the henchman after leaving the sight of the rest of the group.
"Huh? Wh-" The poor man did not understand when Nero in front of him turned and asked. He tried to go on guard, but Nero vanished from his sight in less than a second, then he felt his feet leaving the ground.
"On here! You fool..." Nero didn't have to work hard. Using far less than half his maximum speed, he grabbed that henchman's neck and lifted him off the ground.
"Oh, fuff!!!" The man thought as his vision turned upside down. At first, he believed that Nero had thrown him away, but soon he realized that he no longer felt his own body, then he saw in slow motion his body falling in a shower of blood and veins.
"Tsk... What a waste of blood..." Sarah said after seeing how Nero broke and split the henchman's neck.
"I have to release Fox-girl soon. There will be plenty of opportunities to suck these idiots until death. And it was very theatrical as this shit's head spun in the air as he watched his body fall." Nero commented to Sarah as he quickly returned to Marie and the other two who would soon join their friend in the same 'bloody act.'
"The beast! Behind you!" Nero ran from behind a tree and shouted at the two henchmen who turned their heads back, trying to see the 'beast.'
"Crack!" Before they finished turning their heads, Nero had already reached them and hit their heads from one to the other, breaking them both instantly.
"Not that 'behind' ah..." Nero sighed as if disappointed by the ease of killing these idiots.
"Hahahahaha ... What? Wasn't that funny to you?" Nero started to laugh, looking at the fox-girl, but she didn't look pleased but gave him a questioning look.
"Don't you speak this language or sympathize with humans?" Nero tried to talk to the fox-girl again because she still didn't answer him.
"Aren't you human?" The fox girl's voice was soft but deep as she was very hurt.
"How many white-haired, red-eyed humans do you know?" Nero asked, but the fox-girl answered quickly. "This is not impossible, you know."
"And now?" Nero opened his mouth wide and let his fangs grow to reveal a captivating predatory glow.
"Whoaaaa, what beautiful fangs!" Marie spoke with her mouth wide open, which allowed Nero to see that she had slightly more extensive and sharper canine teeth than those of humans. It was expected her to be charmed with Nero's fangs. In the non-humans world, better fangs mean strength and nobility.
"Ah, you speak little fox. Nero. Is the name of that honorable vampire who saved your ass." Nero now felt very theatrical, which earned Sarah many laughs in the red world.
"Marie. That 'little fox' that could turn you inside out with a tied hand if I wasn't so hurt. Marie never liked people who thought much of themself, but she knew Nero was theatrical. She didn't know if it was the beautiful fangs or the fact that he was all beautiful that made her like him so quickly.
"I bet so, but now you're hurt, and I don't wanna expose myself, so you have to save yourself. All I could do was give you this opportunity." Nero spoke as he bent down to check the bodies of the henchmen.
He hadn't checked if the other two he killed had anything substantial, but Sarah warned him that he would find some convenient on the Cultivators he kills, even if it's useful resources to him, can be given or trade with others.
"Uh?" Nero found a small bottle with a green liquid. "Must be a healing potion. Give it to the fox-girl should be useful for her." Sarah spoke neutrally. She didn't feel anything about Marie, but she knew Nero wanted to help her, so It's not a problem to giving a low-quality potion.
"Take it and go. Do not worry about the others, and I will kill them, but only when it will not disturb me." Nero spoke kindly to Marie but at the same time spoke of the death of humans as if he killed them is the right way for things to be.
Marie loved that. It was how she thought non-humans should act if humans treat them like beasts; they must treat them as prey.
She was very hurt now and still had to continue her mission. She wanted to stay and talk with Nero, but that was not a good time. And he seemed to be very busy. She thought she was fortunate to be in his way.
Marie took the potion Nero threw at her, even with the wounds Marie still had energy. "Thanks. Thank you very much! I owe you more than my life because you saved me from death without honor."
"You owe me nothing, little fox. We non-humans have to take care of each other." Nero gave Marie a friendly smile as he turned and walked away.
"Ahem! Wait. At least answer me. Are you from the Dark Elves Clan?" Marie had heard of people with very pale skin and white hair. They were the Dark Elves. A banished Elven Clan who was now considered corrupt and evil to most non-humans.
"I do not know about them. I am a 'Vampire,' and you will not see others because I think I am the last." Marie was confused by the term 'vampire' as she had never heard it but was more impressed with the fact that he talked about being the 'last of them.'
Marie couldn't even imagine how bad it would be to lose all of his race and how lonely Nero's life must be. She felt very sorry for him and wanted to hug and comfort him.
"I will remember you, 'honorable vampire.'" Marie used 'honorable' just like Nero before to try to change the course of that sad mood.
She gave her best smile and turned to walk away while drinking the healing potion.
"I won't forget you too little fox... If we meet again on a happy occasion, I'll delight in caressing those sexy and cute ears of you." Nero thought to himself, why saying that would only cause trouble with Sarah.
"Do you seem to like those ears a lot?" Sarah asked in a cold tone that would make Nero know he was already in trouble.
"I just don't have much contact with non-humans, so I may have looked a bit like it was the first time I saw something like this, but that's not a big deal." Nero spoke calmly, but in his mind, he thought things like 'To hell! How could she have noticed???'.
"Okay, then. But now, what is the plan? 'Honorable vampire'?" Sarah wouldn't let him get out so easily after this lot of flirt with the fox-girl. 'What flirt???' Nero would think if he could hear Sarah's thoughts.
"Well. Are we back to plans to find Sects or Clans that you talked about?" Nero was not sure what to do. In his mind now only had 'fox ears' and 'Dark Elves.' He was intrigued by that name. Nero had always loved the elves, and now, with and mention of Elves and Dark Elves, he didn't know if he should go south after them.
Surely his place was the South. He knew about the world division of henchman's memories. But he felt he needed to increase his strength now. Sarah was always talking in his mind that things weren't as simple as killing these Dai Zhi henchmen. She said that this region was inferior and remote, so the dangers here were almost non-existent, but it would not be so everywhere.
He needed blood, needed to get strong by drinking blood full of Qi. He didn't want to have to kill every non-human that appeared in front of him, but he could do that to humans and still have pleasure. So, for now, the best place for him was on the human side of the world.
"Yes, I think like you, the best place to grow up fast is this side of the world. Your human appearance and the fact that you can prevent your nails from growing and hide your fangs help keep this act of being human. But that white hair and red eyes still get a lot of attention." What was most striking about Nero was his beauty, but Sarah would never complain about it.
"Do you want me to shave my hair and go bald?" Nero asked worriedly.
"Bah, I don't think so. Stupid! Just keep a history of a family disease or whatever." If Nero could see Sarah now, he would see her rolling her eyes.
Yes, such a thing should work. Nero was already thinking of a story of how his mother died giving birth to him and so his hair turned white with sadness. Something quite dramatic because he wanted to be more theatrical.
"What about these gothic clothes???" Nero has always worn black vampire suits. It looked good on him, but Sarah knew it would draw a lot of attention in this world. When he was strong to overcome any challenge in this world, he could use anything. But now it was a miracle that Dai Zhi, Xun Lan, and the others did not find the clothes of the Earth strange. Did living at this end of the world make them very naive?
"I'll tell the girls my grandfather wasn't a good couturier and ask them for new clothes." Nero thought of using Dai Zhi and Xun Lan as much as he can before tearing their necks and drinking some blood.
"It goes that way, and soon you will become a little friend of humans." But Sarah could not contain her jealousy and had to make clear her displeasure.
"Aw Sarah, don't be like that! I do not become horny with humans." Nero spoke with disgust. He had a body very similar to humans, but something emotional inside him broke when humans killed his family, and now he could only feel hate and disgust for them.
"It's good that you are like this."She still wanted to say something like, 'what about your little fox?'. Not even Sarah knew how she ended up as a jealous wife.
"Whatever. I have to find the girls soon and find out more about the city of Abun. In the memories of the henchmen, there was something about a competition to have a better chance of entering this so-called Black Sword Sect." Nero wanted to know what Sarah was thinking before planning anything.
"From what you tell me, they want to be taken as an apprentice to that Elder Xiong. Perhaps it is your best way out of this valley as we have no information about the dangers in the mountains." Sarah understood well that a resource-poor region would be bad for cultivation. In Nero's case, this was also true since he sucks Qi from the blood of his victims. He needs victims with large amounts of Qi, or his cultivation will be slow too.
"If you enter that Black Sword Sect, you will have many multi-level cultivators to suck. And in that kind of sect, the competitiveness is huge, so there is no shortage of people killing themselves to climb internal ranks and gain better resources." Sarah saw a lot of sects like that in the Endless Divine Kingdom, and she thought it would look the same here just with much fewer resources.
"After you join a sect, you can also go on quests or things like that. With the sect name protection, you can venture out free and suck a lot of blood for many places. Of course, you can't leave live victims to tell your secret." Sarah only thinks of blood that even looks like a thirsty vampire.
But all of Sarah's words make a lot of sense to Nero. He thinks the same as her now; he needs to put these plans into action. "So my focus is to be chosen by the Black Sword Sect's Elder as a disciple. It doesn't seem hard, Sarah, but you know the people closest to that Elder Xiong are Dai Zhi and Xun Lan." Nero had a provocative smile when told about the girls.
"And about the fucking damn Elder's assistant??? You playboy!!!" Even though Sarah knew he was teasing, she couldn't hold back even half a second before exploding in jealousy.
