He lowered his eyes to look at her and smelled the scent of blood flowing under her skin, sweet and thick, like mellow blood-colored milk, which could arouse the deepest desire in his body.
His teeth were itching, his heart was beating, and every cell in his body was clamoring - bite her!
He inserted his fingers into her hair, forcing her to raise her head, revealing her slender white neck. He only needed to lean over slightly to taste the ultimate delicacy.
But he didn't move until she pulled away.
Xue Huan had no idea that in just a few seconds, she had been on the brink of life and death several times.
She helped him put on his baseball cap, adjusted it, and pushed the brim down.
"alright."
Pei Ji stood up, took a step forward, and arrived at the car door. His speed was so fast that it left an afterimage.
Xue Huan: “…”
"etc!"
Pei Ji had already grasped the door handle. He turned around when he heard the words, and his pair of dark pupils shone brightly in the sunlight.
Xue Huan's heart skipped a beat, and she was stunned for a moment before regaining her composure. "I'm planning to bake some cakes. What flavor do you like?"
"I like everything you do."
Xue Huan stared at the car door that opened and closed. Was she... being teased again?
Pei Ji's words of "I'll be back soon" turned out to be true. Xue Huan had just taken the cake out of the oven when she heard a knock on the door.
Xue Huan looked over and saw him leaning against the window with a relaxed body. When he looked up at her, there seemed to be a smile in his eyes.
She opened the car door and let him in. Something was thrown over to him. "Food money."
She caught it accurately in her hand, took a look, and was shocked.
It was a blood crystal as big as a ping-pong ball!
It is crystal clear and shining, reflecting a breathtakingly bright light under the slanting sunlight.
The size of the blood crystal corresponds to the level of the blood demon. The blood crystals in the lowest level blood demon are only the size of mung beans, the second level is the size of soybeans, the third level is the size of lotus seeds... and the blood crystals are as big as ping-pong balls, only the eighth level blood demon has them!
There is only one ninth-level blood demon, who is the boss among all blood demons, and that is Pei Ji in front of her. There are more eighth-level ones, but never more than 5!
Except for Pei Ji, who is a natural ninth-level blood demon, the rest of the blood demons are initially at the lowest first level. If they want to upgrade, there is only one way, and that is to continuously devour blood crystals of their own kind!
When the amount of blood crystals swallowed reaches a certain level, you can upgrade.
In order for a first-level blood demon to be able to upgrade to the eighth level, the number of blood crystals that need to be devoured is a huge number, and the number of blood demons is limited, and is even continuously decreasing, so a maximum of 5 can be supplied.
This is not something Xue Huan said casually, but it is set up like this in the novel.
It's just another form of conservation of energy.
In fact, there are not actually five eighth-level blood demons, maybe not even three, because five is an ideal state. It is assumed that all humans on the earth are transformed into blood demons, and then these blood demons continue to devour each other. Only in this case can five eighth-level blood demons be born.
Of course, this is not the case in reality.
There is only one active eighth-level blood demon in the novel, and that is the second villain who took up the banner of villain in the first half of the novel. He is also the one who indirectly drugged Pei Ji and sold him to the underground auction house of the human base.
Xue Huan looked at the blood crystal in her hand that seemed to still be warm, and her heart trembled a little. Could this eighth-level blood crystal belong to the second villain?
The novel does mention that after Pei Ji turned evil and massacred the city, he went back and killed the second villain, dug out his blood crystal, and then crushed it into powder.
As expected, the one in her hand was the one that was originally going to be crushed to pieces.
No matter what, getting an eighth-level blood crystal for free is an unimaginable good thing!
Only Pei Ji, a natural ninth-level blood demon, could be so generous as to use eighth-level blood crystals as food expenses, but she very much approves of this behavior!
Xue Huan washed the blood crystal, dried it, and put it in her pocket as a treasure.
At a glance, she saw that there was only one cake left on the plate of cakes she had just taken out! And Pei Ji's hand had already reached out!
"Don't move--" Xue Huan rushed over.
As a result, Pei Ji took the small cake in his hand first, stood up, and took a bite of half of it.
Xue Huan was filled with grief and indignation. She reached out to grab it, "Asshole, at least leave one for me!"
Pei Ji raised his hands casually, looked down at her jumping in front of him, and said in a bad tone: "I bit it."
Xue Huan: "...I don't mind!"
She worked so hard to make the cake, she couldn't possibly not even taste it.
Pei Ji seemed to have a change of heart and put his hand down. Xue Huan quickly hugged his arm and hung most of her body on it, trying to use her own weight to prevent him from lifting his hand.
Then she stretched her neck to bite the half cake in his hand.
Just as it was about to take a bite, another hand came down from the sky, took the cake away, and slowly put it into the hateful mouth of its owner.
He glanced at her lightly, and that look made people so angry that their teeth could be ground off!
Xue Huan got hot-headed and jumped up to snatch the food from the devil's mouth!
Chewing the small piece of cake she took from his mouth, Xue Huan gave him a proud look in return.
Pei Ji narrowed his eyes and the smile on his face disappeared.
Xue Huan realized belatedly that the person in front of her was the Blood Demon Boss! How dare she challenge him like this!
A dangerous aura enveloped her, and she stepped back, her back against the table, while Pei Ji was approaching.
"Haha, well, let's talk it over nicely. I..."
Pei Ji pinched the back of her neck, "Are you scared now? Weren't you having a lot of fun fighting just now? Huh?"
Xue Huan immediately admitted her mistake, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have snatched food from your mouth. I regret it. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me, okay?"
Pei Ji leaned down, his nose almost touching hers. Stared at by his eyes, Xue Huan felt like she could hardly breathe.
He pinched her face and snorted: "Are you just going to confess verbally?"
Xue Huan blinked, and an idea suddenly struck her: "I'll go make you another plate of small cakes right now, how about that?"
Pei Ji said "hmm" compassionately, "Go ahead, I want to eat blueberries this time."
Still want blueberries? Do you want me to give you a whole burst of blueberries as well?
Of course, Xue Huan only dared to complain about this in her heart, but on the surface she had to serve the boss comfortably. After all, he had just paid her a sky-high amount of food expenses, right?
An eighth-level blood crystal!
At night, Xue Huan lay on the bed, took out the blood crystal, and rubbed it reluctantly for a long time. Finally, she made up her mind to sell it to the system.
Ding-a-ling!
Listen, that's the sound of gold coins falling from the sky.
Immediately, a string of zeros appeared after the deposit balance, too many to count. Not only did she have the money to buy high-level gene optimizers, she also didn't have to rent storage space anymore. She generously bought a 100-cubic-meter space ring.
