At the residence, in the first-floor living room.
Shuzen Akua was straddling Lin's lap. As she watched him gently knead her thigh, a blush crept onto her pretty face.
Her hands tightly gripped the hem of her skirt.
Her lips were red, her teeth white, and her body trembled slightly.
Suppressing the delicate sensation, she bit her lip lightly and asked:
"Is that Fujisaki Miyabi really my grandfather, Alucard?"
She found this hard to believe.
Although he hadn't admitted it, he hadn't denied it either.
But Fujisaki Miyabi's attitude at the time was clearly a tacit admission.
"That's right, it's him."
Lin didn't stop the movements of his hands, nodding as he leaned back on the sofa.
He then explained with a smile:
"As far as I know, back when the Three Dark Lords defeated and sealed Alucard, he split his soul."
"He created a clone, transferred all his memories and personality into it, and went into hiding to operate from the shadows."
"He took on the guise of the Masked King and founded the organization known as Otogi no Kuni."
"So that's how it is..."
Understanding dawned on Shuzen Akua.
"But how do you know all this?"
She couldn't help but look at Lin with curiosity.
Logically, this was something only Fujisaki Miyabi himself should know.
And it's not like he would tell anyone else.
Besides, the Three Dark Lords probably don't know about the clone either.
Otherwise, they wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.
So how does Lin know about it in such detail?
Lin gave a deliberately mysterious smile. "Have you forgotten who I am?"
"Hm?"
Shuzen Akua was taken aback.
A hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.
Suddenly, the conversation between Fujisaki Miyabi and Lin surfaced in her mind.
Lin had said he was an esper.
And also some kind of 'Kingship wielder'.
He even called himself a 'god'!
She seemed to understand something.
Lin: "Any other questions?"
"None for now." Shuzen Akua came back to her senses and shook her head slightly.
"In that case, it's time for bed."
Lin gave her a meaningful smile.
He then cupped her soft bottom with his hands and stood up.
"Ah!!!"
Shuzen Akua's eyes quivered.
She wrapped her arms around Lin's neck.
Her legs reflexively clamped around his waist.
She clung to Lin's body just like a koala.
Thinking about what would happen next, her whole body began to heat up.
She felt shy and nervous, along with a trace of fear for the unknown.
Lin captured her red lips.
Without even looking where he was going, he left the living room and headed for his bedroom.
With a flicker of his psychokinesis,
all the lights on the first floor went out.
...Ten thousand words omitted...
Night turned to day as the morning light broke.
Before they knew it, the sun was rising in the east.
Lin placed the exhausted Shuzen Akua on the bed.
He cast Sky Magic on her.
"Mmmph~~~"
Shuzen Akua let out a moan.
The somewhat lifeless look in her eyes gradually regained its brilliance, and vitality quickly returned to her sore and weak body.
Soon, she was full of life and vigor.
She was a powerful vampire; not only was her yokai power immense, but her physique was also among the top tier of yokai.
Thus, her regenerative ability was astonishing.
Shuzen Akua blinked.
She sat up in bed, pulling the blanket up to cover herself.
Lin sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Shuzen Akua, and asked with a slight smile:
"By the way, Akua, why did you come looking for me early?"
He actually had a faint guess in his heart.
After all, he was the one who had cast the bait.
Hearing Lin's question, Shuzen Akua was startled, then her pretty face flushed red, a look of shame appearing in her eyes.
She hesitated for a moment before saying sheepishly:
"Actually, it has something to do with that tomato juice you gave me..."
Before, when she was touring the Yokai Realm,
she couldn't resist and drank half the bottle in one go while on the road.
She tried to ration the rest.
But the bottle was still empty by the third day.
On the fourth day, with no tomato juice, she picked up a blood pack she had from before.
But she had no appetite for it at all.
She tried to force herself to drink it.
But the moment she brought it to her lips, her whole body trembled in rejection.
It was like trying to eat very plain food after having feasted on the finest delicacies; she couldn't muster the slightest bit of appetite.
After 'starving' for two days,
her entire being seemed to be screaming 'I want it'.
After one last moment of hesitation, weighing the pros and cons, she finally couldn't take it anymore, left the Yokai Realm, and came to the Human Realm to find Lin.
"So that's why."
Hearing this, the corners of Lin's mouth couldn't help but lift.
It was just as he had planned.
He had given Shuzen Akua the tomato juice with precisely this goal in mind.
He had successfully caught a fish with his bait.
Lin smiled faintly. "Actually, I added a drop of my blood to that tomato juice. That's why it was so different."
"Your blood?!"
Shuzen Akua's eyes widened slightly.
A look of surprise and understanding appeared on her face.
No wonder she tasted a hint of blood when she drank the tomato juice, and an extraordinary one at that. So that was the reason.
She had actually suspected it.
After all, she had long since discovered her craving for Lin's blood.
"Do you want to drink my blood?"
Lin asked softly, a smile on his lips and a hint of temptation in his voice.
"Yes, I do!"
Shuzen Akua's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she looked at Lin with anticipation.
A wave of warmth instantly filled her heart.
"Then come."
Lin patted his neck.
They were his retainers, and as he had said before, he treated them all equally and wouldn't show special favor to any one of them.
As long as they 'knew their place'.
He didn't like it when someone was tactless and caused discord in his harem.
"...Okay!"
Shuzen Akua looked at Lin, her gaze filled with tender affection, the love in her eyes so thick you could almost see it drip.
A certain Ms. Zhang was right.
After a night of such intimate discovery, her feelings for Lin had involuntarily deepened into something more.
She had come to see Lin as her 'anchor'.
Now, Lin's willingness to let her drink his blood was, in Shuzen Akua's eyes, undoubtedly a form of doting on her.
It also represented his true feelings.
After all, their first meeting hadn't been very pleasant.
Overcome with emotion, Shuzen Akua wrapped her arms around Lin, took a deep breath, and opened her red lips to his neck.
There seemed to be a 'smack' sound.
As Lin's blood was drawn in by her fangs, Shuzen Akua's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, a tingling numbness spreading through her.
It was as if a long-parched land was finally receiving sweet rain.
An unprecedented sense of satisfaction filled every cell in her body.
Her bloodline within her seemed to be cheering.
After drinking for a full minute, Shuzen Akua finally came to her senses and contentedly moved her red lips away.
Lin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, teasing Shuzen Akua:
"Drinking so much at once... Woman, thy name is Greed."
"!!!"
At his words, Shuzen Akua's face instantly flushed red, her beautiful eyes filled with shyness.
But she quickly thought of something.
She looked at Lin with some concern. "Oh, right, are you okay?"
She wasn't sure how long she had just been drinking, only that it was a lot.
"I'm fine. Let's get up."
Lin smiled and stroked her neck, which bore no marks, then stood up and said:
"After breakfast, we need to head to the Yokai Realm."
