Remya's foot injury was actually related to the kidnappers of Xiao Miao, although Miao herself was indeed kidnapped. But Remya didn't know about it at the time. She thought she was just separated from Xiao Miao, but when Remya went to look for Xiao Miao, she found someone cleaning up the traces on the beach, which immediately made her suspicious.

Although Remia was a little scared, she finally plucked up the courage to step forward and ask, but was counterattacked. Although Remia escaped in time, her feet were hit by the opponent's spell and suffered severe burns.

But this was certainly not a problem for Ai Li. She just took out the medical glue and shot it at Remya, and her injury was healed immediately. Seeing that her foot injury was completely healed, Remya was also very surprised, not to mention that Ai Li and others helped her find her daughter. So Remya and her family also warmly invited Ai Li and others to stay here, and held a grand banquet to celebrate Xiao Mu's return. Especially after learning from Xiao Mu that she was rescued from the auction site by Ai Li, Remya was even more grateful to Ai Li. She couldn't imagine if her precious daughter was really bought by someone and what kind of terrible treatment she would suffer...

Because of this, the banquet was held quite sumptuously and everyone enjoyed a great meal.

"Wow...it's so comfortable."

Back in the guest room, Irena stretched and happily lay down on the bed. When she first came to this world, she was a little uneasy because she had lost her memory. She didn't expect to encounter such a good thing. Not only did she get paid, but she even had a sumptuous and free meal to enjoy... If she could recover her memory, it would be great.

“Boom boom boom.”

Just when Irena was about to take a rest, there was a knock on the door. Hearing the knock, Irena stood up curiously, walked to the door and opened it.

"Excuse me, is it...ah, Miss Ellie?"

To Irena's surprise, the person standing outside the door was none other than Ellie.

"What can I do for you?"

"Well, there is something going on. It is related to your commission."

As she spoke, Ellie walked into the guest room, and Irena tilted her head in confusion.

"Commission?"

"That's right."

Seeing Irena close the door and look at her curiously, Ellie smiled slightly.

"Actually, I'm a little hungry."

"Hey? Miss Ellie, you're still not full after such a sumptuous meal just now?"

Hearing this, Irena was shocked, while Ellie shook her head.

"It's a little different. Strictly speaking, the previous meals were just for taking in food to sustain life."

"Does eating have any other use besides maintaining life?"

"certainly……"

As she spoke, Ai Li slowly walked towards Irena. Perhaps sensing something was wrong instinctively, Irena also slowly backed away - until she leaned against the hard, cold wall.

"Well, um... Miss Ellie? You're a little scary, aren't you? Are you trying to eat me?"

"Don't worry, Miss Irena, I don't intend to eat you."

Although she said this, Ellie still moved forward slowly. Then she suddenly stretched out her hand and pressed it on the wall behind Irena.

"As for me... I just want some of Miss Irena's blood."

"……Why?"

Hearing this, Irena was stunned.

"Blood?"

"Yes, I am a witch, but I am also a vampire, or a half-vampire. Although I don't need to thirst for blood like a vampire, occasionally consuming some blood is very useful for my magic power and my familiars - strictly speaking, it should be my familiars."

"Um... I'm sorry, Miss Ellie, I don't quite understand what you are talking about..."

"Then I'll explain it to you from the beginning."

Afterwards, Ai Li explained to Irena about the fourth true ancestor and the beasts raised by the true ancestor. After listening to Ai Li's explanation, Irena was also quite surprised.

"That is to say, Miss Ai Li, you have a beast in your body, and the beast needs to absorb blood to restore its strength..."

"That's right."

"But, but why did you come to me?"

"Because my beasts like it very much."

As she spoke, Ellie stared at Irena and licked her lips with her tongue.

"I don't know which one it is, but the beast in my body seems to like your blood, Miss Irena. Don't worry, it won't hurt, it's just a small bite."

“No no no no…!”

Seeing Ellie getting closer and closer to her, Irena waved her hands hurriedly.

"Um... please spare me the blood sucking. I understand what Miss Ai Li means, but I still can't accept letting others suck my blood..."

"Really..."

Hearing Irena's objection, Ellie stopped and sighed in disappointment.

"In that case... then please... return half of the reward to me, Miss Irena."

"……Why?!"

Hearing this, Irena quickly covered her pockets subconsciously.

"W-why?"

In response to Irena's question, Ellie smiled again.

"Ms. Irena, do you remember why I hired you?"

"this……"

"I want you to travel with us and to help me along the way."

“That’s right… wait…!”

At this point, Irena seemed to have reacted.

"Do you mean...?"

"That's right. For me, the most important thing during the journey is to absorb blood. But I can't just go and find someone to suck blood from. Miss Irena and I are both witches. You have a good physique and abundant magic power, so I chose you."

"Well……"

"But if you don't want to, there's nothing I can do. But in this case, I can only deduct half of your compensation."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Hearing this, Irena jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Even if I can't let you suck my blood, I'm still a witch. I can be very useful in battle!"

"I admit that you have some fighting ability, Miss Irena...but can you beat me?"

“…”

Irena stopped talking at this moment. Strictly speaking, among these four witches, she could probably only defeat Xiaobai.

As for Yazisa?

After watching her smash a boulder the size of a small mountain with her bare hands, Irena gave up the idea of ​​competing with her.

Oh my god, what world is this witch from! She can break rocks with her bare hands! If this punch hits me, I will be broken in two! ! Irena thought that her magic ability was quite strong, but compared with Azisa, she felt that she was not as strong as Azisa - if the other party rushed up and punched her, she would kneel on the ground and beg for death the next moment.

So the question is, who is this pitiful, fragile, and powerless young girl?

That's right, it's me.

In fact, the reason why Ai Li brought Irena along was to use her as a blood bag. After all, Yue herself is also a vampire, and there is a limit to the amount of blood two vampires can suck from each other.

If Irena didn't allow herself to suck blood, just as Ellie said, her value would be reduced by more than half.

After all, Irena's strength is only stronger than Xiaobai and on par with Yue. Xiaobai has a system and the special skill of [Identification], so his importance is much higher than Irena. So if Irena doesn't let Ai Li suck blood, then there is no point for Ai Li to spend so much money to find her.

However, Ai Li remained calm, after all, Fang Zheng already knew what kind of person this scumbag was.

"Ms. Irena, we have signed an agreement. As a witch, you should understand the importance of signing an agreement. We signed an agreement, and I paid you, so you have the obligation to provide services for me. If you are unwilling, then I will have to deduct your payment and ask you to compensate me."

"Eh? Wait, although I did sign the agreement, you didn't say you wanted to suck my blood! And why do I have to pay compensation... huh?"

I don’t know why, even though I had lost my memory, Irena suddenly felt that this scene was familiar, as if she had had a similar experience somewhere.

"And, Miss Irena, only when I recover my strength can we conquer the Great Labyrinth as quickly as possible, obtain the magic of the Age of Gods, and leave here to return to our own world..."

"Ugh...but..."

"Don't worry, Miss Irena. I just took a small bite. It won't cause any adverse effects on you."

As she spoke, Ellie held Irena's hand, and then Irena found that there was a cold and hard object in the palm of her hand. She subconsciously looked down and saw that what was placed in her hand was an exquisitely crafted ring inlaid with bright red rubies.

It's worth a lot of money at first glance!

“…”

Looking at the ring in her hand, Irena swallowed, and then somehow put the ring in her pocket.

"Just one bite?"

"Just one bite. Don't worry, even if I suck your blood, I won't turn you into a vampire or a monster. Other than needing to rest, you will be no different than usual."

"but……"

"How about this, every time I suck your blood, I will give you, Miss Irena, a gold bar?"

Hearing this, Irena seemed to have finally made a decision.

"Then... just a small sip."

...So you see, even if you lose your memory, your nature won’t change.
