Vivian did not believe it. She squeezed out another drop of blood and smeared it on Hao Ren's hand. Both of them stared at Hao Ren intently to see what would happen. Even Lily came up to them out of curiosity.
The drop of golden-red blood squirmed and spread on Hao Ren's skin for a few seconds. Then, like a drop of water touching a soldering iron, it shrunk and disappeared before the three of them.
"I think I absorbed it." Hao Ren scratched the back of his hand curiously. To be honest, he was shocked to see the drop of blood squirming on his skin like a living thing. If he did not know that Vivian meant him no harm, he would have flung it away. He did not notice it the first time, but now he could see that it was real. "I don't feel anything. Just a little itchy and a little cold."
"The body temperature of the Blood Clan is a little lower than you humans. It's normal." Vivian hesitantly looked at her finger. The small wound that she had made was almost invisible. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out the last drop of blood as if she had made up her mind. "This … this is the last time. I can't take any more. My heart aches."
Lily immediately found an opportunity to mock her. "Look at your stingy face. It's just a drop of blood."
"So what if it's just a drop of blood? A drop of blood is still blood! " Vivian slammed the table and stood up. "When I was still not used to human food, I relied on sucking blood to survive. I was so unlucky that I was targeted by demon hunters every time I hunted. I couldn't even afford to keep a few blood slaves on my own. When I was at my poorest, I couldn't even bear to have my period. You don't know how expensive oil and salt are. You'll know when you experience hardship …"
Hao Ren could not stand it anymore. He quickly stood up and tried to smooth things over before the topic got out of hand. "Alright, alright. Let's not talk about the past. Vivian, be careful. We're talking about the same age. Also, don't go into details about your miserable life. I'm too soft-hearted to listen …"
Lily was suddenly happy. "Then, Mr. Landlord, can you give me a month's rent?"
"… What does it have to do with you that I'm talking to Vivian!"
After the three of them were done messing around, Vivian finally remembered what she wanted to do. She tried it again, and this time, she used a strange tone to chant an ancient incantation while smearing the blood. Hao Ren felt the cold and bloody atmosphere around him again, but the blood that came into contact with his skin was still the same as before. It squirmed a few times and quickly lost its power. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.
"His connection with his blood has been severed." Vivian furrowed her brows. "This has never happened before. The Blood Breeds have a fixed connection with their blood. Unless they voluntarily 'discard' part of their blood, the connection will not be broken."
"What should we do now?" Hao Ren scratched his face. "I'm counting on your blood to ward off evil spirits."
"Why don't we try Lily's blood?" Vivian turned to look at the werewolf maiden. "Her blood should be able to ward off evil spirits."
"Eh? A werewolf can do it too? "Lily was even more surprised." So I'm that powerful?! "
Vivian chuckled. "No, I've heard from the old folks in China that black dog's blood can ward off evil spirits …"
Then, the two superwomen started tearing at each other in the living room. Hao Ren was unable to stop them, and neither was he in the mood to. He could only sit on the sofa in a daze as he watched a vampire and a werewolf jumping up and down in front of him. When he could not hold it in any longer, he shouted, "Hey, be careful. If you break anything, you have to pay for it. Lily, remember that you still owe me a coffee table. Vivian, think about your wallet …"
The effect of his words was obvious. The two superwomen instantly quietened down and began to play rock-paper-scissors to determine the winner …
Hao Ren lowered his head and looked at his ordinary hands. He did not understand how they could absorb the vampire's blood. He had read about it in various movies and novels. The vampire's blood was extremely powerful to ordinary people. Sometimes, it could even corrode flesh and bones. However, to him, not to mention the special effects, it was not even comparable to normal blood. How could he absorb it? Even though Hao Ren was now certain that the descriptions of vampires in movies and novels were mostly unreliable, the fact that the blood of the Blood Clan possessed special powers could not be wrong. At the very least, human blood would not tremble or crawl around on its own …
"Looks like the Blood Clan's mark won't work," Vivian and Lily bickered for a few minutes before they finally got down to business. She looked at Hao Ren from head to toe. She did not give up. "You have to trust me. I'll try using the Blood Clan's spells. I'm a high-level Blood Clan member, so I can cast spells without a blood medium. Without a medium, it won't be absorbed, right?"
Hao Ren chuckled. "Why don't you trust me? Go ahead and try."
"Most people don't trust us." Vivian spread out her hands. "You're one of the few people who are as easygoing as you are. Unless they're stupid, why would they accept our spells so readily? Three hundred years ago, the people in Europe refused to obey my blood magic. I don't know why they're so stubborn."
Hao Ren mumbled to himself, "Has this vampire lady been with humans for too long that she's forgotten how normal vampires use spells against humans?"
Vivian asked Hao Ren to sit still. She then used her finger to draw strange and distorted runes in the air. Hao Ren's eyes widened. This was the first time in his life that he had seen the so-called "magic". Needless to say, he was curious and excited. Moreover, it was quite an eye-opener to see someone using her finger to draw a bloody trail in the air. However, after a while, he realized that it was rather boring. Vivian just kept drawing lines of words in the air. As she wrote, she waved her hand to disperse what she had written. In other words, it was a high-end, elegant recitation. Apart from the special effects of drawing the bloody words … Hao Ren did not feel any special power or spectacular phenomenon.
On the other hand, Vivian's brows were slightly furrowed. Her writing speed was getting faster and faster. She was erasing what she had written earlier. Hao Ren said that she must have reached a critical stage of the spell. At first, he did not dare to say anything. However, after waiting for a long time, he could not help but ask softly, "That … Is it not done yet?"
"Wait a minute. I might have written it wrong. I'm correcting it …"
Hao Ren was speechless.
So, this guy had written it wrong just now! Was there anything wrong with this vampire lady?
"Something's not right." Vivian did not notice the subtle expression on Hao Ren's face. She finally stopped after changing the runes a few times. She shook her head in confusion and said, "Logically speaking, this should not be wrong. I've already changed the effective sentence patterns three times, but there's no reaction at all … Mr. Landlord, do you feel sleepy? You feel especially calm? Or do you feel relaxed? "
"No." Hao Ren moved his arms. "My mood is quite calm, but it has nothing to do with your words."
"That big dog over there." Vivian turned to look at Lily. "Don't move."
As soon as she finished speaking, Vivian waved her hand and dispersed the blood-colored words into a trembling mist. The mist drifted past Lily, and the latter plopped down on the table with a thump. Then, a series of even snores could be heard.
"… The effect is a little too strong. How low is this guy's resistance?" Vivian frowned and then looked at Hao Ren. "I don't know what's going on, but my blood magic doesn't seem to work on you."
Hao Ren was immediately energized when he heard that. He looked at his hands in disbelief. "Could it be that I'm actually a very powerful person?! Is the hidden setting that I'm immune to magic or something? "
Vivian told him the truth. "Maybe it's because I'm too slow. For example, an idiot is immune to all mental confusion magic …"
Hao Ren coughed. "Ahem. Be careful. You owe me money."
Vivian stuck her tongue out awkwardly. "Alright, I'm not joking. But I don't think it's possible that you're immune to magic. I'm very sensitive to living things. You're probably just a normal person. Besides, you're not immune to my air-conditioning. You can ask Raven 12345 about the exact reason. I have a feeling that your agreement with the so-called God isn't that simple. Maybe you've changed since you came back from her. As for now … I think it's better if you use my amulet. "
The final development was just as Hao Ren had said: all the spiritual blood and magic were nonsense. Hao Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry as he received a magic item from a vampire. It was said to be the Eight Trigrams Plate from Mount Wutai. It could ward off evil and clear one's heart …
When Vivian handed the Eight Trigrams Plate to Hao Ren, she warned him repeatedly that her treasure would be damaged. It was evident that the weird vampire lady treasured her treasure. Hao Ren was touched.
But did that thing really work?
