Chapter 89 Little Vampire VS Vampire Hunter (I) I’m so hungry…
The blinding light left colorful fragments in my chaotic vision, and my head felt like a paste stirred by a spoon, and I kept getting dizzy...
Ruan Chao covered his uncomfortable stomach and resisted the urge to vomit.
His face turned pale unconsciously.
He frowned his handsome eyebrows and looked around cautiously.
The luxurious and bright hall, with a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the intentionally high ceiling, the light was bright and dazzling, illuminating the entire banquet venue like daytime...
All around were bright and beautiful young men and women dressed elegantly. They wore beautiful formal attire, held transparent tall wine glasses in their hands, smiled appropriately, and chatted and laughed with the people around them.
Ruan Chao sniffed inconspicuously.
I smelled a strange sweet smell.
The smell was not bad, but it was inexplicably uncomfortable. He felt that his stomach seemed to have become more uncomfortable and had a strange burning sensation.
It's a burning, primal, hungry feeling.
My stomach contracted, my pupils dilated, my heart beat faster, and my weak body trembled...
hunger.
Very hungry.
I want to eat something... As long as it's edible, it doesn't matter what it is.
The feeling of hunger was eating away at his little bit of rationality step by step, as if he would starve to death here in the next second if he didn't soothe his tortured stomach.
The boy's Adam's apple moved up and down for a moment, and his already pale face seemed to become even paler. He staggered for a moment, and almost eagerly picked up the wine glass on the plate...
He raised his arms...
The bright red liquid in the wine glass was just a little bit away from touching his slightly dry lips...
The next second, he seemed to be stimulated by something, suddenly woke up, and put down the wine glass in panic.
He used a little too much force and broke the base of the cup. The sticky bright-colored liquid flowed down along the damaged area, staining the white marble floor red.
The banquet was lively.
No one noticed the little incident here.
Ruan Chao lowered his eyelashes and stared at the bright red mark on the floor with an unclear expression, and waves of disgust surged in his heart...
He was just a little bit away from drinking blood...
That's right.
The bright-colored liquids in those wine glasses were all drinks containing blood.
However, due to the different blood content, it will show slightly different colors.
Pink, peach, orange, deep red...
Just like the lipstick shades, different shades of red are arranged in sequence...
Ruan Chao felt dizzy from time to time.
…
Ruan Chao's identity in this world is an orthodox pureblood. His father is a powerful prince of the blood clan, and his mother is a well-known S-level blood clan in the blood clan army.
It is very difficult for vampires to produce pure bloodlines of their own. Most second, third, and fourth generation vampires are transformed from humans, or are hybrids of humans and vampires.
Therefore, Nguyen Chao, the child who was born with great difficulty, was held in the palm of his hand and raised delicately since he was a child. The people around him were close to him, loved him, and doted on him. Even if one day he said that he wanted the moon in the sky, they would pick it up without hesitation and give it to Nguyen Chao as a gift.
Nguyen Chao was treated like a treasure and raised up. He had never suffered any hardship since birth, and whatever he asked for was met...
Maybe when God opens a door for you, he will also close a window.
Ruan Chao's parents were both well-known figures in the blood clan. They were first-rate in both physique and strength, but he did not inherit any of his parents' advantages. The physical tests he had taken over the years all showed a pitiful C grade.
Not to mention second and third generation vampires, even those hybrids with slightly stronger physiques can easily suppress him.
He also suffers from anorexia.
From birth to now, I have never drunk a sip of human blood.
Even though he was suffering from hunger every day and his body was getting weaker day by day, he had no appetite for human blood. Just smelling the fishy smell would make him dizzy, nauseous and want to vomit.
If it weren't for the support of his parents' blood, he would have fallen into a deep sleep in the coffin due to physical reasons.
…
After the system transmitted personal information, Nguyen Chao fell into silence for a long time.
The burning sensation in his stomach had subsided a little, but it still lingered strongly in his senses, constantly reminding him that he was hungry.
The Nguyen Dynasty had not been so miserable for a long time.
He moved his eyes and saw some desserts and snacks placed in the corner, but it was empty without any vampires, as if those exquisite pastries were just decorations for the banquet.
The Nguyen Dynasty moved slowly past.
He picked up a small piece of cream cake and put it in his mouth.
He did not feel the softness and sweetness of the cream.
The cake in his mouth was like a piece of soft cotton, sticky and wrapped around his tongue. As he chewed subconsciously, it was evenly distributed throughout his mouth...
The last glimmer of light in Ruan Chao's eyes disappeared completely.
He chewed for a while with an expressionless face, but finally couldn't help it and spit it out on the tissue in disgust.
The sweet smell of cream kept filling my nose, but it didn't stimulate my appetite at all...
He could not accept human food, and for both physiological and psychological reasons, he found food from vampires disgusting and difficult to swallow.
Nguyen Chao felt that his future was dark.
He grabbed the wall next to him in time and did not fall down.
Ruan Chao's eyes turned red, he pursed his lips, and asked the system with some worry whether he would have to endure hunger like this in the future until his body could no longer bear it and until he starved to death.
[I feel like my stomach is about to digest me.] He covered his stomach with his hands, trying to make himself feel better this way, [It felt like there was a fire burning, and I felt like I was going to die soon.]
[I won't let the world's first vampire die of hunger.]
The system comforted him dryly: [No, Chaochao, don't worry. Although vampires will die, they will never die of starvation.]
[Even when their bodies are extremely weak, they will simply fall into a deep sleep to conserve their energy to the greatest extent possible, and wake up when their bodies have almost recovered.]
Ruan Chao asked: [How long do you want to sleep? ]
The system hesitated: [At least... a few months, at most... a few decades, and sometimes even hundreds or thousands of years. ]
Ruan Chao said with an expressionless "oh", as if he had suddenly seen through life: "It would be better to just die."
【If we reopen now, we can still catch up with the next mission. 】
System: […]
[I can't stand this world where I can't enjoy delicious food and have to endure hunger all the time. I can't stand it even for a second.] Ruan Chao closed his eyes, lying down like he was about to die, urging the system to act quickly and not waste any more time.
[Don't worry, Chao Chao, things haven't gotten to the worst point yet, we still have room for recovery.] The system anxiously persuaded Ruan Chao, wanting him to change his mind, [The missions in this world are super easy, it would be a pity to give up like this.]
[And once we meet the protagonist, you won’t have to go hungry anymore.]
Hearing the word "protagonist", Ruan Chao's eyebrows twitched slightly. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and he showed a bit of hesitation.
He asked softly: [The protagonist...what's his name?]
The system received some kind of message and mysteriously uttered three words: [Lu Xingyao. ]
Satisfied to see the host's expression change slightly, the system continued to speak, almost explicitly, "I think his name is quite nice, especially the word 'star' in the middle... Chao Chao, what do you think?"
There was no expression on Ruan Chao's face, but his mood did seem to be calmer than before. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, as if he was really wondering whether the name Lu Xingyao sounded good.
In the end, he gave a fairly satisfactory answer with a frozen expression.
The system doesn't know how to answer the call.
It paused for a moment, thinking that it should continue to introduce the protagonist's identity and world background. It coughed lightly and continued in a serious tone: [The protagonist Lu Xingyao is a very powerful vampire hunter. He wears a silver-white mask and walks in the dark. He specializes in hunting down those vampires who violate the peace treaty and secretly attack humans...]
There once was a long and protracted war between vampires and humans.
This war lasted for hundreds of years.
The human population has dropped to less than one-fifth of its previous size. Countless young people have died on the battlefield, leaving only some lonely old people and naive children.
The blood clan also experienced a generational discontinuity in strength, with large numbers of second and third generation vampires being reduced to ashes, and even several high-level blood clan members of S and A levels falling into eternal slumber, never to wake up again.
The damage caused by the war to both sides is immeasurable, and continuing it will only result in more unnecessary killings.
The piles of corpses and bones, the reddish-brown color that would not fade away in the soil, and the smell of blood that kept rising in the rivers finally made those in power realize the seriousness of the matter. They sat down to discuss for several days and signed a peace treaty of truce.
The so-called peace treaty adheres to the principles of peaceful coexistence, non-aggression and non-disturbance, and regards vampires and humans as equals. No matter which side attacks the other side without reason, it will accept punishment from the regulatory department.
The treaty has been developed to this day, with deletions and revisions. As humans with special abilities become stronger and stronger, humans have gradually gained more say.
The regulatory agencies further split and formed the Vampire Hunters Association.
The Vampire Hunters Association has supreme power. It can execute vampires who violate the peace treaty on the street without even reporting to the regulatory authorities, and they will not go unpunished in the end.
And Lu Xingyao is such a vampire hunter.
[…Every time Lu Xingyao killed a vampire, he would use the vampire’s blood to leave a five-pointed star at the spot, showing off his identity in a big way.]
[His silent display of power soon earned him the hatred of the vampires. A considerable number of them hated him to the core and tried to assassinate him every once in a while. Of course, they never succeeded.]
Ruan Chao couldn't help but ask: [...He hates vampires?]
System: [Of course, if I wasn’t annoying, I wouldn’t have become a vampire hunter.]
The system realized something belatedly, glanced at Ruan Chao, and stuttered to make amends: [But it depends on the person. He doesn't hate everyone. He will still be kind to those vampires who obey the rules and laws, and won't make things too difficult for them...]
Ruan Chao: […………] Really? I don’t believe it.
The one-man-one-unification exchange lasted only a dozen minutes, and the Nguyen Dynasty's situation became worse.
He sat on the chair with his hands on his abdomen. His originally rosy lips became even paler. He licked his dry lips and unconsciously said twice that he was hungry.
The system could only worry and fly around the Nguyen Dynasty up and down.
[In this world, only Lu Xingyao's blood will not trigger your anorexia.] With Ruan Chao's bloodline, he should be able to hold on for a long time, but the system couldn't bear to see him in such pain, so it made a hasty decision, [So we have to find him quickly and suck his blood.]
Ruan Chao interrupted the system and said, "Let's not talk about where we can find him. Even if we find him, do you think Lu Xingyao would let a strange vampire approach him and suck his blood?"
If it were any other vampire, it would certainly be impossible.
There is no doubt that Lu Xingyao would agree without hesitation to what Ruan Chao said.
Because the missions in this world are very simple, the system's authority is correspondingly low. Not only is the amount of plot information available to you very pitifully small, you can't even determine the protagonist's location.
The system couldn't bear to see Ruan Chao suffer. Looking at Ruan Chao's pale face, frowned brows, and the look of him trying to endure hunger, it wished it could take his place.
The winged cat ball stopped flying around its host, and its little head rubbed lightly against Ruan Chao's soft palm, and the eyes displayed on the electronic display screen wrinkled in worry.
[…Is it very uncomfortable? ]
Ruan Chao touched its head and then its wings. "Fortunately, it has endured the initial shock and is feeling better now."
The system's eyes wrinkled even more, almost forming a wavy line.
This is not a solution.
I still have to find Lu Xingyao quickly, otherwise Chao Chao will just keep starving like this...
Just when the system was getting anxious, the sound of fireworks suddenly rang out in the center of the banquet hall. Countless flowers and colorful ribbons floated in the air. With a burst of noisy applause, the already heated atmosphere was pushed to its climax.
