"What agreement?"
As Lin's words fell, Akashiya Moka looked puzzled.
She hadn't asked what Shuzen Akua and Lin had talked about last time when they spoke alone.
Puzzled, she blinked her green eyes curiously.
Yotsuya Miko and Tohru were the same, their faces filled with curiosity.
Lin said with a smile:
"I made a seven-day agreement with her, asking if she wanted to become my retainer. She came to see me early today."
"Eh…"
Hearing this, Akashiya Moka, Yotsuya Miko, and Tohru were slightly taken aback.
Their gazes flickered, a strange glint passing through their eyes.
Yotsuya Miko felt a reflexive twinge of sourness in her heart.
But thinking of something, she quickly cast the feeling aside.
Tohru didn't have much of an opinion on the matter.
After all, there was a matter of first-come, first-served.
She had come to join this family.
Not to break it apart.
Besides, not long after she became Lin's retainer, he had already been frank with her about the fact that he would be a philanderer.
For her, as long as Lin cared for and liked her, that was enough.
It was normal for the strong to have many partners.
The law of the jungle is the law of nature.
As for Akashiya Moka, she wasn't jealous either, just surprised that Lin had taken an interest in her Akua-nee.
They'd only met once, right?
So, was it love at first sight?
If Lin knew what Akashiya Moka was thinking, he would surely admit honestly that it was love at first sight (lust at first sight). (Lust at first sight).
"...."
Meanwhile, when Shuzen Akua saw Lin state it so plainly, her gaze involuntarily shifted toward Yotsuya Miko and the other two.
Seeing their reactions, she felt surprised and curious.
They weren't opposed at all!
Did Lin really have that much charm?
She couldn't help but fix her gaze on Lin, sizing him up once more.
His features were exquisite and sharply defined.
His eyebrows were neat, his eyelashes long and thick.
His azure eyes were exceptionally beautiful, as if they held the starry sky within them.
Profound, mysterious, and captivating.
His nose was perfectly shaped, high-bridged and well-defined.
His lips were full and rosy, the corners turned up slightly in a faint smile.
His entire being was like a masterpiece carved by a top artist in a sudden burst of inspiration, looking utterly flawless.
Coupled with that inexplicably alluring, mysterious aura and his immense power, Shuzen Akua found herself a little dazed.
Noticing Shuzen Akua's strange state,
Yotsuya Miko, Akashiya Moka, and Tohru couldn't help but exchange a look.
Yotsuya Miko took the lead, saying with a smile:
"We'll head back to our rooms now. You two take your time talking. Good night."
"Good night, Lin-san (Xiao Bai, Akua-nee)."
Tohru and Akashiya Moka echoed her. The three of them, as if having made some sort of decision, turned and went upstairs.
"Alright, good night."
Seeing how considerate the three of them were, Lin felt quite pleased.
Shuzen Akua also snapped out of it at this, and the thought that she had just been fawning over him brought a flash of bashfulness to her eyes.
Her fair, pretty face flushed slightly.
"What's your answer?"
After watching Yotsuya Miko and the others disappear up the stairs, Lin looked at Shuzen Akua before him and asked again.
"I... agree."
Shuzen Akua's red lips moved slightly. She gently clutched the hem of her skirt, her eyes filled with shyness and nervousness as she voiced her decision.
"Come here."
A triumphant smile formed on Lin's lips as he beckoned to her.
Shuzen Akua's pretty face grew redder.
Her blood-red eyes trembled slightly.
Though she was nervous and shy, having made her decision, she obediently walked toward Lin.
"Sit here."
Lin patted his thigh.
"!!!"
Shuzen Akua's eyes quivered.
After a moment's hesitation, she suppressed her shyness and nervousness and straddled his lap.
Her skirt, which originally reached her knees, now only covered half of her thighs, leaving her soft, snow-white legs exposed.
Lin wrapped his arm around her waist.
With a slight squeeze, he pulled her until she was almost pressed completely against him.
Gazing at Lin's handsome face just inches away, Shuzen Akua's eyes widened, and she involuntarily held her breath.
Her heart was pounding erratically.
Without any hesitation, Lin lowered his head and captured her red lips.
Dominating, direct, and intense.
Shuzen Akua's pupils contracted. Her eyes widened with nervousness and embarrassment.
She was like a stunned wooden doll.
Completely at Lin's mercy.
After savoring her lips for a moment, Lin activated his King's Clansman ability.
Once again, it was the power of the Gold Kingship.
From Nodoka Manabe's feedback, he already knew about the Gold Kingship's unexpected effect of maximizing a person's potential.
Under the influence of the Gold Kingship's power, Nodoka Manabe had vaguely felt signs of her True Ancestor power awakening.
It just needed some time.
Evidently, the power of the Gold Kingship could serve to enhance one's bloodline.
Those who already possessed a special constitution or bloodline would undoubtedly benefit even more.
The specific effects varied from person to person.
According to Akashiya Moka, every vampire actually possesses the special potential to evolve into a 'True Ancestor'.
It was just that the difficulty was immense.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have only been two True Ancestors in the history of the Yokai Realm.
About two and a half minutes later, Lin released Shuzen Akua, who had closed her eyes, her pretty face crimson, and said softly:
"Akua, feel if there are any changes in your bloodline."
"Huh?"
Her mind almost a complete blank, Shuzen Akua heard Lin's voice and slowly opened her eyes, a dazed look in them.
She looked a bit out of it.
Lin repeated himself.
"Oh, okay."
Shuzen Akua came to her senses, nodded with a blush, and closed her eyes again to concentrate on sensing the state of her bloodline.
"Eh?!"
After sensing a certain change, she snapped her eyes open.
A look of pleasant surprise appeared in her eyes.
Looking at Lin, she couldn't help but say, "I can feel the strength of my bloodline power increasing bit by bit."
"Although it's not obvious, over time, my power could very well transform into that of a True Ancestor."
"As long as this bloodline enhancement can continue."
The gradual enhancement of her bloodline power meant that her strength was also growing.
It seemed Lin hadn't lied to her; he could really help her become a True Ancestor!
Though it would be a long process, it was no longer a mere fantasy.
Seeing her delighted expression, Lin smiled slightly. "Because that is a special effect of the power I've given you."
"Your power…"
Hearing this, Shuzen Akua's gaze flickered. She belatedly became aware of the strange sensation on her lower abdomen, and a hint of shyness appeared in her eyes.
Why is it in that location?!
At that moment, Lin narrowed his eyes and said:
"Now you can ask me all those questions you have in your heart."
"After your questions are answered, take me to the Yokai Realm tomorrow."
"To the Yokai Realm!?"
Shuzen Akua was slightly startled.
Lin: "Your grandfather, Alucard, has his eyes on Moka. I need to go and eliminate this hidden threat."
"When there's trouble, it's best to solve it early, to avoid further complications."
Shuzen Akua: "…"
A complicated look flashed through her eyes.
Although she didn't have much affection for him, he was her grandfather, after all.
On one side was her grandfather, on the other, her husband.
Oh, and her little sister was on her husband's side too.
Looking at it that way, this multiple-choice question didn't seem so hard to answer after all.
