Upon hearing him mention compensation, Qiao Yingying's face instantly turned ashen, and the disgust in her gray eyes was impossible to conceal.

"You didn't succeed at all this time, why should I compensate you? Get out of my way, I need to rest. I've been busy all day with the birthday party, I'm exhausted!!"

Qiao Yingying pushed Lai Tan away to get her clothes, and when she saw that he didn't follow, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But to her surprise, after she had filled the bathtub with water and gone in, he still barged in.

Disgusting tentacles filled most of her bathtub, and the sticky touch made her scream.

Seeing how much she disliked his true form, Lai Tan's eyes flashed with annoyance, and he had no choice but to retract his tentacles and transform them into human legs.

This calmed Qiao Yingying down a bit, but her face was still deathly pale; she was quite frightened.

Lai Tan moved closer to her and forcefully pulled her into his arms. His long black fingernails on his right hand cut a small gash on her shoulder like a knife, and a few drops of blood gushed out instantly.

As he smelled the fragrance emanating from it, Lai Tan's vertical pupils, hidden within his dark eyes, suddenly turned purple.

He opened his mouth and bit down, sucking on it as if he were enjoying some delicious food.

As blood intake increased, Lai Tan's mental state gradually improved.

Correspondingly, Qiao Yingying was as pale as paper due to excessive blood loss, and a series of severe dizziness attacks made her unable to sit up straight.

Taking this opportunity, Lai Tan pulled her into his arms. Looking at her extremely weak state, barely able to lean against him, he felt a mixture of pity and satisfaction in his eyes.

He loved the feeling of leaning against her like this, feeling her body heat.

The blood of a woman of destiny has a unique flavor.

She was also more ruthless than the average woman.

However, he likes it.

The man looked down at her as her breathing grew weaker and weaker, and she looked like she might die if he didn't help her soon. But he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he looked at her as if she were a withered flower. He lowered the long black nails on his right hand and used the pad of his thumb to caress her lips.

Qiao Yingying was not completely unconscious and could clearly feel Lai Tan's every move and action towards her.

When she realized he dared to touch her mouth, she instinctively opened her mouth to bite him, hoping he would know better.

But to her surprise, because she was too weak, she opened her mouth and put a section of his finger in her mouth. She tried to use her teeth, but she couldn't get them out at all.

She couldn't even make the faintest bite mark, which made her eyes red and her breathing rapid, making the dizziness in her head even worse.

Her actions surprised Lai Tan. After a moment of surprise, he suddenly smiled and stopped teasing her.

Otherwise, if this continues, she could lose her life.

The man took out his thumb, which was covered in Qiao Yingying's saliva, and put it in his mouth without any disgust. Then, he pressed his lips to hers and transferred a small portion of his energy to her.

With the help of this energy, Qiao Yingying's face visibly regained its color, and her mind gradually became clear.

But she still had little strength, much like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness and was still unable to get out of bed and walk independently.

After the energy was transferred, the one who became weak this time was Lai Tan.

However, this didn't affect him too much. He was still able to calmly help Qiao Yingying wash her body, then dry her off and change her into pajamas.

He didn't like himself in his human form.

They were not very skilled at using their legs.

Even so, he was still willing to walk on the bathroom floor for Qiao Yingying, pick her up by the waist, and carry her back to the bedroom.

Once in bed, he remembered that Qiao Yingying was a germaphobe, so he cleaned himself up first.

With everything ready, he looked at the girl who was still struggling to open her gray eyes and making slight movements. He lifted the blanket and crawled in himself, leaning close to her ear and asking, "You've taken so many benefits from me, and all I'm asking for is a little blood. Are you really that unwilling?"

Qiao Yingying wanted to say that it wasn't just a little blood.

This pervert wanted to taint her with all his strange aura, and he even stole her first kiss. He always found various opportunities to molest her. How dare he question her?

But she had no energy to argue back. Feeling frustrated, she simply closed her eyes and stopped looking at him.

Seeing this, Lai Tan wasn't annoyed. Instead, he pinched her chin, rubbed his nose against hers, and, like a seductive siren, whispered in a soft, enticing voice, "Qiao Yingying, just give up on that Xu Heyu. Be with me, and I can give you anything you want. Isn't that good? What can that good-for-nothing do for you?"

So far, he has solved all the problems, big and small, that Qiao Yingying has encountered.

What makes Xu Heyu so special?

Why is it that just by standing there, he can attract all of Qiao Yingying's attention?

Qiao Yingying was too weak to speak and too lazy to pay attention to his wild ideas.

What a joke! How could a princess of the royal family be with a lowly fallen beast? He has no value other than helping her temporarily.

Only Xu Heyu could satisfy the things she wanted!

But of course, she wouldn't tell Lai Tan any of this.

Lai Tan knew she could hear him. Seeing that she didn't react, he felt uncomfortable but didn't say anything. He just continued to press his body closer to hers, ignoring her trembling body, and released several tentacles to wrap around her body.

Then, like a venomous snake, he climbed his head up to the back of her neck, his warm breath spraying on her skin, and continued to chuckle, "It's okay if you don't say anything, anyway, you can't be separated from me now, and I believe that given enough time, you will change your mind one day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lai Tan buried his face in Qiao Yingying's neck and started to breathe. Qiao Yingying was so scared that her body stiffened, and her eyes were even more wet than before.

Inside the room, a suffocating and helpless atmosphere enveloped her, forcing her to sink into the boundless swamp along with Lai Tan.

........

After Qiao Mei arrived home, at Xu Wenfeng's insistence, she underwent a comprehensive medical examination along with Xu Hui.

As for Xu Hui, because she was initially lured into entering the fault zone, Li Chonghua still wasn't reassured and conducted three tests on her.

Only after confirming that there were no problems did I ask her in detail what exactly happened back then.

"I felt something sticky crawling on my leg. I initially thought it was a fish and was about to touch it."

"But before I could even touch it, I felt dizzy and then lost consciousness."

After listening to what she said, Li Chonghua looked at the two bluish-purple bite marks left on Xu Hui's right calf and his expression turned solemn.

Qiao Mei had also been crawled on by that thing and knew what it was, so she directly told the puzzled Li Chonghua.

“It was a tentacle. I’ve been crawled on before, but because of Cangcang’s reverse scales protecting me, it couldn’t do anything further to me.”
