You're Talking Nonsense Again!

There was a relationship of adaptability and compatibility between human bloodlines and Phantasmal Demon Bloodlines.

Just as mentioned before, only after consuming a Phantasmal Demon Elixir, when one's body could adapt to the power of the elixir, claim the power of the Phantasmal Demon Blood within it, and completely integrate it into oneself, could a human become a Hunter possessing Phantasmal Demon Power.

Under such circumstances, the blood of humans with extremely high adaptability and compatibility with Phantom Demons would naturally hold tremendous allure for creatures that fed on blood and regarded it as the source of their power.

Xu Qianqian had inherited a Phantom Demon's craving for blood, so naturally, she had become the same way.

Now, according to Xu Qianqian, Su Ming's blood seemed to hold a certain degree of attraction for her.

In other words—

"Your blood probably has extremely high adaptability and compatibility with both me and my family's Phantasmal Demon Bloodline."

Xu Qianqian told Su Ming this.

"That's why, after meeting you, the bloodline within me began to stir."

That was why Xu Qianqian had noticed Su Ming and begun paying attention to him.

After learning the truth, the corner of Su Ming's mouth twitched slightly. He felt terrible all over.

So this vampire girl had started paying attention to him because she was coveting his body?

Xu Qianqian had no idea what Su Ming was feeling at that moment. She merely glanced around herself.

"That night, I bit your wrist and unconsciously drank a little of your blood. Not only did all my injuries recover, but I also felt an unprecedented satisfaction, along with a faint sense of familiar desire and restlessness."

At this point, the reason Xu Qianqian had realized that the person who appeared here that night and clashed with her while she had lost her mind was Su Ming became obvious.

She had recognized Su Ming through the taste of his blood and her craving for it.

That was why Xu Qianqian had said this.

"Others might have been fooled by you, but I'm different."

That was because Su Ming's blood held extraordinary significance for the Campus Belle.

"Honestly, I'm quite surprised." Xu Qianqian said to Su Ming, "I never expected that you, whom I thought was just an ordinary, unremarkable student, would possess that level of strength."

Even though she had somewhat lost her mind, Xu Qianqian still remembered very clearly how Su Ming had toyed with her that night.

Even if she had been seriously injured and in poor mental condition at the time, the fact that Su Ming had defeated her with an utterly basic move still proved his strength.

Because of her status, Xu Qianqian had dealt with many Warlocks since childhood and had even fought them many times. There had been no shortage of extremely powerful Warlocks among them, and she had lost to quite a few of them. Yet being defeated so miserably by someone her own age had undoubtedly been a first for her.

Therefore, Xu Qianqian initially estimated that Su Ming's strength was probably like hers—enough to place among the top three in a department.

Xu Qianqian herself was a top student who could reliably rank among the top three in the Hunter Department.

And Su Ming likely had the strength to compete for a top-three spot in the Sorcerer Department, perhaps even more than that.

This greatly surprised Xu Qianqian, who believed she understood Su Ming and had been watching him for a long time.

But at the same time, Xu Qianqian also felt somewhat puzzled.

"Since you have that level of strength, why are you willing to remain ordinary and become an unknown nobody at the academy?"

Xu Qianqian clearly did not understand much about social etiquette. She voiced the doubts in her heart without reservation.

"What strength do I have?" Naturally, Su Ming would not admit anything. Having figured out why Xu Qianqian had noticed him, he immediately began brushing her off. "If you hadn't been out of sorts that night, I definitely couldn't have done that much."

"Is that so?" Xu Qianqian narrowed her eyes.

"Of course." Su Ming nodded forcefully and said with utter sincerity, "Otherwise, why did I only use Spiritual Arts with such low sequence numbers that night?"

What he meant was that he had not deliberately held back; he truly could only use Spiritual Arts of such low sequence.

Since he had used Spiritual Arts with such low sequences, he was obviously a rookie, right?

That was the hint Su Ming was dropping, intending to eliminate Xu Qianqian's curiosity.

Unfortunately—

"I don't believe you."

Xu Qianqian's attitude was always so blunt and straightforward.

"There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."

Su Ming wore a smiling expression.

After realizing that Xu Qianqian did not have an accurate grasp of the extent of his strength either, Su Ming was completely relieved.

As long as his true strength was not exposed, he could brush this off.

After all, he had not used high-sequence Spiritual Arts that night and had used practically just one move from beginning to end.

That was proof that he was weak!

Sure enough, he was such a clever little genius!

Xu Qianqian stared fixedly at Su Ming, trying to see through him, but naturally failed.

However, Xu Qianqian did not mind.

"If you don't want to admit it, there's nothing I can do. But I'll keep watching you."

This little girl seemed determined to lock horns with Su Ming.

Su Ming's smile immediately became strained.

Damn it, was she planning to keep an eye on him forever?

Wouldn't that mean he could no longer secretly do any embarrassing things in the future?

That would not do!

At once, Su Ming prepared to have a proper talk with this vampire girl and make her quickly abandon this dangerous idea.

However, Xu Qianqian changed the subject first.

"Why were you here that night?"

Xu Qianqian asked abruptly.

"What about you?" Su Ming's attention was successfully diverted, but instead of answering, he asked, "Why did you suddenly appear here?"

"I followed that suspicious group here." Xu Qianqian did not conceal it as she said, "I've been tracking them for a long time."

Why?

Su Ming nearly asked that.

But after thinking carefully, Su Ming stopped himself.

After all, he had deliberately chosen to ignore what happened that night and that suspicious group in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. Since that was the case, why would he voluntarily involve himself in this now?

It was better not to ask anything and not to know anything.

"This actually has something to do with my mission—"

At that moment, Xu Qianqian was already preparing to explain.

"Stop!"

Su Ming immediately cut her off.

"What is it?"

Xu Qianqian froze for a moment.

"Nothing." Su Ming said decisively, "I just think that since this is your mission, it must involve important secrets and confidential matters. It's better not to tell something so important to an insignificant Side Character like me, right?"

Upon hearing that, even someone as calm, composed, and blunt as Xu Qianqian could not help but choke up.

"But I—"

Xu Qianqian furrowed her lovely brows, seemingly wanting to say something more.

"Don't say it!"

Su Ming immediately interrupted her.

"But—"

Xu Qianqian still wanted to continue.

"I'm not listening, I'm not listening, I'm not listening! (>_<)"

Su Ming directly covered his ears, acting like a little girl throwing a tantrum.

Xu Qianqian was dumbfounded.

This lofty young lady probably never imagined Su Ming would react like this.

Seeing that Su Ming even seemed ready to take the opportunity to slip away, even someone as cold and elegant as Xu Qianqian became a little anxious.

"I need your help!"

Xu Qianqian could only grab Su Ming's arm to stop him from running away.

However, Xu Qianqian had underestimated just how shameless Su Ming could be.

"Ow! You're hurting me!"

Su Ming cried out like a little girl being grabbed by some brutish man.

"I-I'm sorry!"

Xu Qianqian thought that she, a strong Hunter, had truly hurt Su Ming, a delicate and powerless Warlock. She instinctively apologized and let go.

"It's fine. I forgive you."

Su Ming immediately changed his expression, then turned and ran.

"???"

Xu Qianqian had a pile of question marks in her head and did not know whether they should appear.

She only knew that Su Ming had tricked her.

"You—"

Even someone as formidable as Xu Qianqian could not help becoming angry now.

Thus, Xu Qianqian moved, abruptly vanishing from where she stood.

Su Ming, who was running with his head down, only saw a figure suddenly flash before his eyes. By reflex, he gathered his Spiritual Power.

Who would have thought that before Su Ming could do anything, Xu Qianqian, who had suddenly appeared before him, made the first move?

"Swish!"

Xu Qianqian lightly brushed her slender waist and actually untied the sash of her dress, flicking it out like a whip.

The scene was like a fairy dancing gracefully while undressing, utterly pleasing to the eye.

And seeing such a sight at close range without warning naturally made Su Ming's heart stir.

That brief distraction slowed Su Ming's movements by a fraction, and when he came to his senses the next second, he inwardly cried out that this was bad.

"Whoosh!"

Amid the whistling wind, the dress sash lashed out like a whip and coiled around Su Ming at the instant his movements stalled.

The sash truly seemed to transform into a rope, winding around Su Ming several times before finally binding him.

"Damn it!"

Su Ming's expression changed drastically as he cursed at Xu Qianqian.

"You actually used a honey trap to plot against me, Xu Qianqian! You're really something else!"

His condemnation was so righteous that anyone unaware of the truth would think Xu Qianqian had truly used some kind of honey trap.

"I didn't!"

Xu Qianqian gripped the sash in one hand and retorted as though she had been angered.

"You did!"

Su Ming sounded utterly certain, as if he intended to pin that accusation on her for good.

"I didn't!" Xu Qianqian continued to refute him, adding, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll drain you dry!"

This time, Su Ming was left speechless.

The moment she said that, wouldn't it become a honey trap even if it was not one?

If this girl did not have a grudge against him, Su Ming really wanted to say, "Come on, then."

The famous School Belle of Demon Hunter Academy wanted to drain him dry?

Just thinking about it was exciting!
