Those Days of the Month...

Lucifer did not leave with the Spirit Hall Soul Masters. He remained in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.

At dusk, Ah Yin went out alone, seemingly to purchase supplies.

Lucifer cornered her in an alley.

"Who are you..." Ah Yin immediately went on high alert.

One look was enough for her to decide that Lucifer was not a good person!

And something seemed off today!

"My name is Lucifer. You may address me as Lord Lucifer!"

"..."

Ah Yin inwardly grumbled. This man seemed rather narcissistic.

"May I ask what you want? If there is nothing else, please do not block my way!"

There was indeed a small matter!"

"Oh?"

"There is a child at home going through a growth spurt, so I would like to ask you for a small favor!"

Hm?

Ah Yin's expression turned strange.

What sort of favor did he need from her?

Could he be asking her to be a wet nurse?

She lowered her head and examined herself. Mm... she could not see her feet.

Perhaps, in other people's eyes, she really did have a talent in that regard.

"What small favor?" she asked curiously.

"I hope you can..."

As he spoke, Lucifer suddenly felt his Soul Power consumption sharply increase!

"Wait a moment!"

"Let me replenish some energy first!"

Ah Yin only found him even stranger.

A goblet suddenly appeared in Lucifer's hand, half-filled with a red liquid.

He has a Soul Tool? Ah Yin thought.

In truth, Lucifer had taken it out of the System Space.

The System Space allowed him to store items that were not from the System Shop.

Moreover, items placed in the System Space remained frozen in time.

Lucifer raised the cup and drained it in one gulp!

"Mm... that hit the spot!"

Ah Yin's expression became extremely bizarre.

She smelled blood!

This man actually drank fresh blood straight from the cup. He really was a weirdo!

But at least, it did not smell like human blood!

After drinking half a goblet of Ghost Tiger Blood, the faint sense of insubstantiality that had just appeared around Lucifer immediately vanished.

Lucifer thought to himself, Ten Thousand Years Ghost Tiger Blood really is effective. It works even from this far away from Qian Renxue!

"Let us continue!" Lucifer wore a gentle smile.

Yet in Ah Yin's eyes, that gentle smile paired with his blood-red lips was rather frightening!

"I hope you can provide me with some blood, so I can nourish the child at home!"

"..."

Ah Yin glanced at Lucifer's lips, unsure where to even begin criticizing him!

Putting aside why he wanted her blood!

Was he sure it was for nourishing the child at home, rather than nourishing himself?

Noticing Ah Yin's gaze, Lucifer thoughtfully explained:

"Do not worry. I only drink Soul Beast Blood with the Dark Attribute. Your blood does not meet the requirements!"

Upon hearing the latter half of that sentence, alarm bells went off in Ah Yin's mind!

My blood!

He really did want my blood!

Ah Yin did not know whether Lucifer was aware of her identity.

After all, she was unsure whether he meant that her blood did not meet the Dark Attribute criterion, or the Soul Beast Blood criterion.

Ah Yin forced a smile. "What do you need my blood for? Who nourishes a child's body like that?"

"Have Blue Silver Grass's properties not been uncovered recently..."

Lucifer's expression remained calm.

But Ah Yin's heart suddenly sank.

"...I thought that rather than using ordinary Blue Silver Grass juice, it would be better to use the most effective Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Blood!"

In that calm tone, Lucifer exposed Ah Yin's identity.

Ah Yin's heart lurched, and she almost fled at once!

But she restrained the impulse.

He was being so polite, and there was no killing intent!

She found it very strange and needed to observe him a little longer.

"How did you learn my identity?" Ah Yin knew there was no point in denying it.

"Very good! You did not immediately try to run. That saves me some trouble!" Lucifer nodded in satisfaction.

"As for how I learned your identity, that is not important!"

"What matters is whether you are willing to accept my proposal!"

"And if I refuse your proposal?" Ah Yin's expression was grave.

"You would not want the entire Douluo Continent to know that you are a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor in human form, would you?"

Lucifer brought out that impossible-to-refuse line.

Ah Yin: "..."

Needless to say, she certainly did not.

Lucifer smiled. "I only want some blood. That should be easy for you, should it not?"

"After all, your regenerative abilities are so strong!"

Ah Yin was actually rather surprised.

After learning her identity, Lucifer had not summoned a group of Soul Masters to hunt her down for her Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone!

He only wanted some blood!

"You are very different from ordinary Soul Masters!"

Ah Yin narrowed her eyes. "Who exactly are you?"

"I am not human!"

"..."

Ah Yin felt that communicating with Lucifer was incredibly difficult!

Suddenly, an idea struck her. "Could it be... you are also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form?"

"No!"

Ah Yin frowned, becoming even more confused.

She watched Lucifer warily, trying to find a flaw in his expression. Yet he maintained that faint, ambiguous smile, as though everything was under his control.

"Do not overthink it! Just tell me whether you agree or not!"

"If I agree, will you truly keep my secret?"

"Lord Lucifer has always kept his word!"

"Besides you, who else knows my true identity?"

"As far as I know, only me."

"Fine! I agree! I hope you will keep your promise!"

"You made the right choice!"

A dagger and a bottle appeared out of thin air in Lucifer's hand.

"Catch!"

Ah Yin caught them and efficiently let some of her blood into the bottle.

Without needing Lucifer to say anything, she conscientiously filled an entire bottle.

Then, she handed the bottle to Lucifer.

The moment Lucifer took it, he saw that the wound on Ah Yin's arm was healing at a visible rate!

"As expected of the Blue Silver Emperor! Your recovery speed really is impressive!"

Ah Yin did not respond.

"All right! Thank you! You may pretend nothing happened today!"

Lucifer turned and walked away.

The tension Ah Yin had been holding onto finally eased.

Suddenly, Lucifer stopped and turned back around.

"Is there something else?" Ah Yin's heart tightened again.

"I suddenly thought of something!" Lucifer looked as though inspiration had struck him.

"What is it?"

"Do you also have those few days every month, like human women do?"

"You..." Ah Yin's pretty face reddened slightly. "Why are you asking that?"

Then Ah Yin suddenly understood. "You do not mean..."

Lucifer nodded. "Mm... exactly what you are thinking!"

"Dream on! I will never agree to that!" Ah Yin's face was filled with shame and anger.

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, even that kind of blood possessed extraordinary effects!

"Sigh! You already gave me your Essence Blood, so what is the problem with that blood?"

"No!"

"It would be better than letting it go to waste!"

"Get lost!"

"You would not want..."

"I surrender!"
