Can I Have a Little of Your Blood?

Some people feel very insecure when sleeping, so they usually lock the door and avoid deep sleep in unfamiliar places. Even if they do fall asleep, they immediately notice if someone approaches them.

Fang Li was exactly that kind of person.

Thus, when Fang Li sensed someone approaching him, his hazy consciousness gradually sharpened.

Then, Fang Li slowly opened his eyes.

The moment his eyes opened, his gaze trembled abruptly.

That was unavoidable.

No matter who it was, waking up to suddenly find a face right in front of them would startle anyone.

If that face was exceptionally cute, the feeling only grew stronger.

As Fang Li opened his eyes, a delicate face as lovely as a doll appeared before him.

The distance was close enough to feel the other's breath.

"---!"

Fang Li was severely startled.

There, Mumei had somehow crept up to Fang Li, crouched down, and was staring at his shocked expression, a guileless smile gradually spreading across her face.

Her crimson eyes flickered with an eerie light.

She carried a somewhat sinister aura.

In that state, Mumei parted her lips and said this.

"Hey, can I have some of your blood?"

Those words made Fang Li's heart tighten, and he calmed down extremely quickly.

The feeling was less like being doused with cold water and more like being suddenly thrown into a freezer.

Moreover, Fang Li was certain that anyone in this situation who heard Mumei's words would feel the same way he did.

After all, a being caught between human and Kabaneri had personally said it to him.

She wanted some blood.

"You..." Fang Li looked at Mumei, his brow slowly furrowing.

"I want your blood." Mumei didn't avoid Fang Li's gaze, staring straight at him, her childish, cute face still wearing that innocent expression, her tone utterly matter-of-fact. "I'm hungry. If I don't drink soon, I won't be able to hold on."

There was no need to guess what Mumei wanted to drink.

---Blood.

Mumei wanted to drink blood.

Because she was hungry.

Only then did Fang Li remember something important.

As beings between human and Kabaneri, Kabaneri needed to eat to survive, just like anyone else.

However, perhaps because their entire body except the brain had turned into a Kabane, Kabaneri didn't eat human food. Instead, they consumed Kabane food—that is, fresh blood.

Kabaneri needed to drink blood to survive.

If they didn't drink blood in time, after a period, a Kabaneri would lose their humanity and turn directly into a Kabane.

So Mumei said that if she didn't drink soon, she wouldn't be able to hold on.

Understanding this, Fang Li's furrowed brow gradually relaxed. He looked at Mumei, who was staring straight at him with crimson eyes, and sighed.

Then, Fang Li drew his Dagger.

"Puchi---!"

The sharp Dagger sliced across Fang Li's wrist, instantly cutting his hand open.

Blood welled up from the wound.

Seeing the blood flowing from Fang Li's hand, Mumei couldn't look away.

The next second, without needing Fang Li to urge her, Mumei hugged his arm and pressed her small lips to the wound.

"Gulp..."

A swallowing sound echoed softly in the carriage.

It was the sound of Mumei drinking Fang Li's blood.

Mumei clung tightly to Fang Li's arm, her small mouth drawing in the fresh blood, her throat constantly moving as his blood flowed into her body.

Whether because Fang Li had been too harsh on himself, cutting the wound too deep, or because Mumei was sucking a bit too hard, crimson blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, staining it.

Fang Li felt the softness of Mumei's delicate body pressed tightly against his arm, and the lips clinging to the wound on his arm sucking at his skin, bringing a slightly ticklish sensation that overshadowed the pain of the injury.

"This..." Fang Li was speechless.

Was this girl doing this on purpose?

Isn't this just a roundabout form of seduction?

Wasn't he afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back and turn into a wolf?

Well, she really didn't need to be afraid.

After all, purely in terms of strength, even ten more Fang Li probably wouldn't be enough for Mumei to take on alone.

"Such a sin..." Fang Li could only endure this itch that burrowed deep into his heart, lamenting inwardly.

However, for a third party, this scene wasn't very amusing.

And so, the next moment, a voice that was both shocked and angry rang out.

"You... what are you doing?!"

The owner of the voice was, naturally, Ikoma.

Having woken up at some point, Ikoma watched Mumei holding Fang Li's hand and drinking his blood, his expression a mix of shock and fury.

As for the existence known as Kabaneri, Ikoma was already half-doubtful, not even fully understanding why he himself had become such a being—a half-baked state.

Naturally, Ikoma also didn't know that Kabaneri didn't need to eat human food, but instead needed to drink blood.

Thus, seeing Mumei sucking Fang Li's blood, Ikoma naturally misunderstood completely.

"What Kabaneri! You're just a Kabane! Let him go right now!"

Shouting this, Ikoma charged straight over.

"Wait..." Fang Li hurriedly spoke up.

Unfortunately, before he could even finish a single sentence, Mumei moved before Fang Li could.

Without even turning her head, as if she could see Ikoma coming from behind, Mumei swung one arm back like a hammer.

"Thud----!"

A dull sound rang out as Ikoma, who had rushed forward, was struck directly in the face by Mumei's blow, his whole body crashing heavily to the ground.

The miserable sight made Fang Li shudder in sympathy, unable to bear watching further.

Mumei finally stopped, releasing Fang Li's hand, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, then licking her fingers clean.

Looking at Ikoma, who was lying on the ground clutching his nose and rolling around, Mumei said somewhat discontentedly, "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing?" Ikoma held his reddened nose, glaring at Mumei. "That's what I should be asking you!"

"What?" Mumei tilted her head in confusion, muttering, "How ridiculous."

"You're the ridiculous one!" Ikoma glared at Mumei, demanding, "What were you just doing?"

"What else could it be?" Mumei answered without any hesitation.

"I was drinking blood, of course."
