System 057 finally gave in, and Gu Qingqiu returned to the standby space station as she wished. After petting the kitten for an hour, she was teleported to the next world.
When she opened her eyes, she felt a pain in her neck, but it wasn't pure pain. Instead, it was accompanied by a tingling, itchy, and pleasurable sensation. She couldn't help but tremble. The skin she touched was cold and smooth, like jade without warmth, making her hesitant to touch it.
She turned her head and saw a pale yet handsome face. His eyes were a deep, blood-red, like red wine in a goblet, full of strange charm. They were slightly narrowed, revealing his current mood of pleasure. His ears were pointed, like those of a little elf.
Such features and appearance could never appear on a normal human face; they were both terrifying and dazzling. His aura was both evil and captivating. Based on Gu Qingqiu's preconceived notions and his current actions, Gu Qingqiu judged him to be a vampire.
Seeing that Gu Qingqiu was staring at him, the vampire narrowed his eyes. "What? You regret being embraced by me so soon?"
Gu Qingqiu shook her head, a surge of uncontrollable craving for blood welling up within her. So she opened her mouth and bit down on the vampire's Adam's apple, but her teeth weren't sharp enough to break through the vampire's skin.
"What a gluttonous bastard." The vampire chuckled softly, grabbed Gu Qingqiu by the back of her neck, and brought his side of his neck to her mouth: "Bite here."
Satisfied, Gu Qingqiu was as happy as a child who had received candy. She licked the blood that remained on her lips, then licked the skin she had just bitten. After thinking for a moment, she actually licked it again.
The vampire chuckled merrily: "Alright, good boy."
Gu Qingqiu rubbed against the vampire tenderly, calling out sweetly and seductively, "...Daddy?"
A flicker of shock crossed the vampire's eyes: "What did you call me?"
"Am I wrong?" Gu Qingqiu shrank back fearfully, like a child being lectured by his father. "Isn't it said that the vampire who first embraces you is the one who gave you a new life? That's what everyone calls you..."
"You know quite a lot," the vampire said cryptically. "Then do you know why I embraced you for the first time?"
“I know…” Gu Qingqiu laughed: “You like the taste of my blood, and you want to make me your blood slave.”
Gu Qingqiu's body still retained human warmth, which made the vampire somewhat greedy for her warmth. "Since that's the case, then I can tell you that I have other purposes. I want you to belong to me forever."
A cool kiss landed on warm lips, and the two bodies, already very close together, pressed even closer.
When Gu Qingqiu woke up, it was still pitch black around her. She felt a little crowded. She was embraced by a vampire and slept in a small but safe coffin.
It should have been daytime by now, but this was precisely when vampires were least active. Gu Qingqiu was also feeling tired from a night of activity. She yawned silently and asked in her mind, "System 057, what's the current progress of the experience bar?"
[…100%]
"Oh, does that mean I can leave again?" Gu Qingqiu rubbed the vampire's chin listlessly. "Then send me away."
You don't like vampires?
"I like it." Gu Qingqiu seemed a little confused. "But wasn't the mission completed? Shouldn't we be leaving?"
[...]
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qingqiu returned to the standby space station. She picked up the cat crouching on the ground and petted it a few times, then suddenly asked, "System 057, what are you doing neglecting your duties? What about the report from the last world? What about the health points and gold coins I received? Did you swallow them all?"
System 057: [...Both worlds are A-level in difficulty, totaling 2755 days of gold and life points.]
Gu Qingqiu commented, "Hmm, not bad. So you guys can be quite generous after all."
System 057: [...]
Gu Qingqiu: "Let's go, keep going, don't waste time."
In a flash, Gu Qingqiu found herself in a new world. She instinctively felt that System 057 was unhappy, even though it was trying its best to control its "emotions".
A system cannot have emotions; the only ones with emotions are the people behind the system.
Gu Qingqiu's imagination became clearer and clearer. She began to observe her surroundings discreetly, as if she were in a forest.
Could it be that she's participating in a camping activity or something in the wild?
As the background information of the world was introduced, Gu Qingqiu's expression changed from surprise to understanding. She walked forward for a while and finally found a clear stream. She squatted down by the stream and looked at her reflection in the water.
Even though the stream wasn't as clear as a mirror, she could still see her own bloodshot eyes. But this wasn't because she was a vampire or had stayed up all night; it was because she was now a rabbit spirit who had recently taken human form, wearing clothes made of leaves, and seemed to still feel a little ashamed.
This is actually an animal documentary, which is quite interesting. So, the male protagonist is probably an apex predator, like a tiger or lion?
Gu Qingqiu lowered her head and bent down, cupped some stream water in her palm and drank it; it was surprisingly sweet.
Just then, the surrounding silence was suddenly broken, and the ground beneath her feet seemed to shake as if an earthquake had struck. Gu Qingqiu turned around and saw a large number of animals running toward her, including sika deer, elephants, monkeys, and all sorts of other animals.
This scene is like a great migration. I don't know what happened, but following along should be the right thing to do, right?
Gu Qingqiu hurriedly followed the main group and ran in the direction ahead. However, perhaps because her true form was a rabbit, although Gu Qingqiu's running speed was not slow, she still hopped forward even in human form, and after a while, she felt some soreness in her lower limbs.
The main force, however, showed no sign of stopping and continued running endlessly.
Why am I even running after her?! Gu Qingqiu is tired. It's not like she's being chased. She's a "human" who has successfully transformed into human form. Why should she act like an animal?!
Thinking this, Gu Qingqiu slowed down, leaned against a tree stump, exhaled heavily a few times, and closed her eyes.
A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, creating a pleasant sound. Gu Qingqiu was just about to take a nap when she felt as if the light in front of her was being blocked by a shadow.
Has the sun already set so quickly? Gu Qingqiu was about to open her eyes when she felt goosebumps rise on her skin. It was an animal's instinct, a feeling of danger.
The unease in my heart grew stronger, especially the feeling of being stared at.
Gu Qingqiu gritted her teeth and slowly opened her eyes, but the moment she opened them, she was so frightened that she fainted.
