Although Akaza's body felt wonderful right now, once his supply of marechi blood was cut off...
He might suffer even more when hunger struck him on the road.
Su Chen felt a little too embarrassed to look at Akaza.
He could only hope the other man would not suffer too much on the road or hold a grudge against him...
Akaza turned his head.
With a friendly expression, he said, "Thank you, Su Chen. Without you, I might not have made it through this."

Su Chen stopped supplying blood.
