I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Seraphin stared expressionlessly at his junior, whose face was becoming increasingly contorted, and then, without any politeness, raised his hand and gave this good-for-nothing a resounding slap.

The female vampire ninja tilted her head slightly, feeling the stinging pain on her face, which made her mind very confused. She covered her cheek, turned her head, and stared blankly at the cold-faced Seraphin in front of her.

"Senior..."

"Shut up! Are you thinking about how to use Lord Halsey's power to revive your clan or resurrect your relatives?"

Seraphine looked at her junior with icy eyes. After she spoke her blunt words, a hint of surprise and panic flashed in the junior's eyes, which Seraphine caught precisely.

Suddenly, Seraph's eyes grew even colder, and a hint of bitterness flashed across them.

A treacherous vampire ninja!

At that moment, it seemed as if Rai Zhe's cold and impolite words echoed in his mind, filled with an undisguised disgust for vampire ninjas.

The words were harsh and something no one wanted to admit, but in Seraph's current state of despondency, she couldn't shake them from her mind.

Look at this, this is the true nature of your self-righteous vampire ninjas!

Lei Zhe's disdainful and sneer-filled expression seemed to appear before my eyes.

Despite all the talk of respecting Xiaoyou, neither the reformers nor the conservatives ever asked for her opinion; they were all just trying to use her power to achieve their own goals.

"I really feel like a traitor now."

Seraphin's face showed a self-deprecating expression, as well as a sense of self-loathing and despair.

After saying that, she didn't look at the expression on the face of the junior in front of her, turned around and walked away.

When Sarasbardi and her companions recovered from their shock, they felt a pang of sadness upon hearing Seraphim's self-deprecating remarks and seeing his dejected and lonely figure.

Recalling how intimately Lei Zhe had held Xiao You's hand earlier, Sarasbadi knew in her heart that Lei Zhe and Xiao You had a special relationship.

Moreover, that adult wasn't even wearing armor to suppress her power; right now, she was like a beautiful girl next door next to Razer.

Recalling the words spoken by their leader, who had previously feigned death—"Young man, you're one of those people around him, aren't you...?"

Sarasbardi also guessed that Reiji, the person who wiped out their vampire ninja village, was Yu's guardian.

So, could it be that Lord Helsaz, knowing what the other party had done, still tacitly approved of Reiji's actions?

They were abandoned by Lord Halsey, weren't they...?

No... should we say they brought it on themselves?

Watching Seraphin leave, and hearing his self-deprecating remark.

Sarasbadi's lips were a little pale. Given what they vampire ninjas had done, what did it matter if Xiaoyou abandoned them?

............

On the other side, at a stall with a large flow of people, Negrelia Nebilos, who had just sold out her doujinshi and was packing up, had a slightly dazed and silly smile on her face, and was looking in the direction where Yu and Reiji had left with a curious and excited look in her eyes.

"Aha~~ Yu-chan~, Yu-chan has a boyfriend!?"

Feeling a mix of excitement and complex emotions, Nini yawned and felt that familiar drowsiness wash over her. She immediately and skillfully pulled out a handful of energy pills from the impressive pair of hearts on her chest, poured them out, and threw them into her mouth.

With a smile of surprise and curiosity on her face, she was extremely curious and shocked about Xiaoyou and Leizhe's situation.

It wasn't just because of their overly intimate behavior, but also because she felt that the familiar Xiaoyou from before seemed to have returned.

She seemed to have lost that sense of loneliness and isolation, if her eyes weren't malfunctioning, given that she was the strongest person in the underworld.

She clearly saw a shy expression on Xiaoyou's face, and her beautiful blue eyes became lively.

"And what's more, Yu-chan's power is actually in Rai-chan's body? What exactly happened between them!?"

Nini has a keen sense of perception and immediately noticed the abnormality in Lei Zhe and Xiao You. The power that distorts the world's phenomena is now in Lei Zhe's body.

She didn't believe that Reiji had taken it; although Reiji was ruthless towards his enemies, he didn't seem like a bad person in other situations.

There might be something she doesn't know about, and judging from how intimate Xiaoyou and the other person are, it doesn't seem like that's the case.

It's very likely that Lei Zhe took the initiative to shoulder that burden for Xiao You, but that's what surprised and intrigued Nini even more.

Even if Xiaoyou's power could be transferred to that Lei Zhe, given Xiaoyou's personality, she wouldn't let someone else bear this burden for her.

Curiosity, she was just so curious. The changes that had happened to her best friend Xiaoyou surprised her immensely and ignited an irrepressible curiosity within her.

Some were for Xiaoyou, and some were for Leizhe.

"Ah~~ I think if I see you again, Yu-chan, you won't avoid me anymore, right?"

The positive changes in Xiaoyou made Nini extremely happy. She blinked her beautiful eyes and lowered her head to think.

Lei Zhe's surprise for her was too great; she sincerely wanted to thank him for turning Xiao You into this person.

It seems that Lei Zhe really takes good care of Xiao You, but the fact that the two of them could develop into lovers is so shocking that Nini is a little stunned.

After regaining her senses, she felt a desire to meet Xiaoyou, to have a good chat with her, and to see for herself the changes in Xiaoyou.

"However, as for Ariel, Brother Rezer has already made an enemy of her. If... no! No one can disturb the two of them right now!"

Nini, or rather, now she should be formally called Negrilia Nebilos, her lazy and sleepy look had vanished.

With her eyes filled with coldness, she glanced at the direction Xiaoyou and Lei Zhe had left in with a gentle look, then quickly packed up her things and left.

She would not allow anyone to interfere with Xiaoyou now. Lei Zhe's surprise for her was too great, and she would not allow anyone to ruin everything that Xiaoyou had achieved.

She had a premonition and a strong expectation that Razer's existence might bring about more positive changes in Xiaoyou.

Therefore, we cannot let other guys interfere in Lei Zhe and Xiao You's affairs.

As for Ariel, with whom I have some connection?

Sorry, from now on we're not close anymore. I'm siding with Lei Zhe.

I'm not interested in your so-called "breaking the wall and rebelling" plan. If you're going to overestimate yourself and bother Yu-chan, it won't just be Raiji who wants to kill you.

Anyway, because Verie once invaded the living place of the underworld people, although Nini had some relationship with her, it wasn't as good as Yu-chan's.

............

After leaving Shirogane Miyuki's side, Rai Zhe checked the situation at his company location and, seeing that Xiao You had lost the desire to continue shopping and was feeling hungry, Rai Zhe took the girl to the park and gave her a bento box he had prepared.

He also cast a spell to disperse the onlookers, leaving the two of them alone.

"Zhe, just give the power back to me. You've already taken on this burden for me for quite some time."

Sitting on a park bench, after happily finishing the bento box that Lei Zhe had carefully prepared, Xiao You wiped her mouth with a tissue and looked at Lei Zhe, who was making her a drink.

Looking at Lei Zhe, who was bearing the burden for her with a blank expression, Xiao You also felt that it was time to take back the power that belonged to her, and not let Lei Zhe support her forever.

"Wait a little longer. I'm working on removing the hidden dangers from your power. I don't want you to suffer like you did last time."

Lei Zhe, having prepared the drink, condensed three small ice cubes with one hand and dropped them into the glass in his hand before handing it to Xiao You.

Lei Zhe politely refused when the girl beside him wanted to take back her power. Now, just thinking about Xiao You's painful appearance last time, he felt a little resistant to returning this power that still had hidden dangers.

They should delay as long as possible. Lei Zhe shouldn't keep trying to help Xiao You resolve the hidden dangers of the power day by day. Even if he can't completely resolve them, he should at least ensure that this power doesn't backfire on Xiao You.

"But, Zhe..."

As she took the icy-cold drink, Xiaoyou's delicate, fair eyebrows furrowed slightly. Although she no longer felt overly worried about Lei Zhe, she didn't want him to continue bearing the burden for her.

She could tell that Lei Zhe wanted to drag things out as long as possible, and she knew that he was doing it for her own good.

As their past experiences led to a closer relationship, Xiaoyou not only cherished Lei Zhe, but also felt a vague and restless emotion within her, making her unwilling to burden Lei Zhe with any trouble.

However, a slight smile appeared on Lei Zhe's face, and a hint of gentleness appeared in his usually calm eyes.

He gently extended his index finger and placed it in front of the girl's pink lips, stopping Xiaoyou from saying anything more.

As long as the emotional fluctuations aren't too great, he can still manage to change his facial expressions based on his abilities.

"excellent..."

With a gentle call, and seeing the girl's flustered and shy eyes, Lei Zhe, filled with affection and wanting to say a thousand words, gently pinched the girl's smooth, fair chin and pulled it forward slightly, then pressed his lips to Xiao You's smooth, fair forehead.

"Well......"

The sudden intimate and doting gesture made Xiaoyou's pupils shrink slightly, followed by a cute whimper. Her fair and delicate face flushed a lovely blush again, and her hands holding the beverage cup trembled slightly.

A kiss on the forehead signifies a strong desire to protect; he truly wants to protect the girl in front of him now and in the future, especially after seeing the Night King's memories.

Lei Zhe isn't some blockhead; he kissed her last time, and Xiao You wasn't the only one whose heart was in turmoil.

Thanks to the boy's initiative and his previous vow, Lei Zhe could sense that Xiao You no longer had that conflicted feeling.

He had realized his own feelings; he didn't want the girl to disappear from his sight and craved a life with her in his sight.

I don't want... this tenderness to leave.

Having confided their feelings to each other, their relationship underwent a slight change, and his feelings for Xiaoyou gradually warmed up to an intimate level.

Gently reaching out to smooth Xiaoyou's furrowed brows, and looking at the girl before him with her cheeks flushed a beautiful pink, Lei Zhe spoke:

"In those carefree moments when you're relaxed, don't let your brow furrow. Helping you resolve any potential issues with your strength is also part of the agreement."

dong dong dong...

Xiao You's heart was pounding. Looking at Lei Zhe in front of her, whose eyes held a hint of gentleness and doting affection, she truly no longer had the idea of ​​asking Lei Zhe for her power back.

It's more accurate to say that besides expressing an overwhelming sense of shyness and joy, there was no room for any other thoughts.

Xiaoyou's fate was now tied to Raiji's. She believed in Raiji's future and knew that Raiji was someone she could rely on.

However, Xiaoyou has never experienced dating in her life. She doesn't resist Lei Zhe's intimate actions, but she just can't calm down.

Moreover, when she was with Lei Zhe, her ability to control her emotions became increasingly worse.

"Zhe..."

She murmured something and lowered her head. The shy and cute Xiaoyou finally dared not look Lei Zhe in the eyes anymore, and the pink atmosphere between the two became more and more intense.

The girl took small sips of the icy drink in her hand, trying hard to focus her attention on her tongue and savor the refreshing sensation.

Doing this can help dispel some of the inner turmoil.

Seeing that Xiaoyou's attention had been diverted, Lei Zhe smiled inwardly, stretched out one arm to encircle Xiaoyou, and hugged the girl's slender and soft waist, making the two lean tightly together.

The boy felt a strange sense of satisfaction after embracing the girl; the peace of mind he felt was so real.

Feeling Lei Zhe's unilateral and forceful actions, the girl trembled slightly and lowered her head even further in embarrassment.

Although she was shy, Xiaoyou didn't resist at all, and gently rested her head on Lei Zhe's shoulder.

The boy gently pressed his cheek against the girl's head, and the fragrance emanating from her hair made Lei Zhe squint his eyes slightly.
