Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

With that, Vivian ran away as if escaping.

Hey...what does "overworked" mean?

The corners of Lor's mouth twitched slightly.

"Hehe, don't worry, at least it won't happen tonight." Isabella looked at the back of the innocent girl and added this sentence.

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with the complacency of victory.

"Okay, stop being so proud, let's go!" Lor, who had no chance to interrupt the whole time, hurriedly pulled Isabella away. After all, this was the main entrance of the church and it was not advisable to stay here for long.

……

"Huh, your female colleague is nothing big."

On the way home, Isabella jumped and skipped, as happy as a little girl who had just finished school.

"In terms of strength, she's not good enough, and in terms of beauty, she's not even one ten-thousandth as good as me! That's all, you made me nervous for nothing!"

"Then why did you go to the church door and put on such a show?" Lor sighed.

"Of course." Isabella raised her chin slightly. "You are my dependent. You are mine. Whether I like you or not is not the point. Anyway, my things must not be taken away by others. Even coveting them is not allowed!"

What a domineering female president’s speech.

As a guy who lives under someone else's roof, eats for free and sucks my blood, do you have the right to say such things?

"By the way, why did you go to the scene of the incident today? Don't you know it's dangerous?" Lor scolded. "Luckily, Vivian had already fainted and didn't notice you at all, otherwise it would have been very difficult to resolve the situation!"

"I'm not stupid. Of course I calculated the timing perfectly before going in." Isabella rolled her eyes at him. "Come to think of it, isn't it all your fault for lying to me? You said you were on duty at the church, but you ended up with this beautiful female colleague!"

"When a mission arrives, of course I have to go out and investigate... No, why should I explain so much to you?"

"Besides, if I hadn't intervened at the critical moment, wouldn't you all be completely doomed? Why don't you thank the master and repay me?"

...It wasn't that I was completely finished, after all, I still had a backup plan.

But it really helped a lot.

"Well, thank you." Lor looked into her eyes and nodded seriously. "How do you want me to repay you?"

"Eh? This..." Isabella didn't expect that Lor would actually thank her seriously. She was a little at a loss for a moment and her face flushed.

"I'll let you smoke to your heart's content tonight?" Seeing her reaction, Lor suddenly found it very interesting.

"No way! Didn't I agree not to suck your blood for three days? I'm a person of my word!" Isabella turned her head away. "Um, I... I want to eat pancakes, pancakes with syrup and cream! Buy them for me!"

In fact, when she was shopping in the morning, she saw a store selling this thing and she was very greedy.

Unfortunately, she had already spent all the money that Lor gave her, so she had to bear it.

"Muffins? That's it?" Lor raised his eyebrows.

Ok.

As a demigod-level warrior who could easily crush a mid-level devil, she was really easily satisfied.

25. I just want to taste it

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Isabella's deliberate appearance may not be a bad thing.

Now that she lives with me, it's impossible to keep her existence a secret; my colleagues in the church will find out sooner or later.

The identity of "fiancée" is indeed a good cover.

Could it be that Isabella also took this into consideration and that is why she behaved so extravagantly today?

After returning home, Lor thought so and looked at Isabella.

At this moment, the vampire lady was humming a little tune and pacing back and forth in the living room. Sometimes she would stand by the window to look at the scenery, sometimes she would fiddle with the roses in the vase... Every one or two minutes, she would pass by Lor intentionally or unintentionally.

The careful thought is obvious.

"The new clothes look great." Lor said.

"Huh? Really?" Isabella was overjoyed. She pirouetted on her toes and turned around like a model on stage. "Well, of course I look good. I'm a natural beauty. Everything looks good on me... I even bought two more sets of clothes, and some pajamas. Do you want me to wear them for you to admire?"

"Go ahead, go ahead. Don't forget to close the door when you change your clothes." Lor waved his hand and dismissed him.

After spending these two days together, he felt that he was becoming more and more confused about Isabella.

She feels extremely oppressive during battles, but at other times she seems like just an ordinary girl, sometimes innocent and sometimes with the little thoughts that are only reserved for young girls.

It’s completely different from the vampires that Lor had in mind.

Logically speaking, shouldn't long-lived races like the vampires be pure, unfettered, and expressionless old monsters? Furthermore, as a high-ranking vampire, Isabella should be quite senior among her kind, at least a few hundred years old, right?

Why does she really act like a little girl?

Can't figure it out.

Lor sighed and shook his head.

He stood up, carefully closed the windows and drew the curtains, and stopped for a moment to make sure there was no unusual movement. Then he carefully took out the dark blue crystal from his pocket and examined it carefully.

That is the piece that exploded from the mid-level devil.

Although this is a relic condensed from the death of an evil creature, Lor did not feel any "unclean" breath from it at this moment... Whether it is the appearance or the inside, it gives people a clear feeling, like a natural high-purity mineral.

This is the condensation of extraordinary power.

"Solidified" spiritual power.

"If I can find a suitable buyer, I should be able to exchange it for a lot of gold coins..." Lor thought.

As for how much it can be exchanged, it is really difficult to estimate.

The demon that appeared today was probably at level four, a formidable monster rarely seen. Condensed objects of this level of extraordinary power rarely appear even on the black market. Just like the "Sun Nova" charm used by "Cleanup Man John," it's not something you can buy or sell at will.

"If I can successfully infiltrate the 'Dark Moon Society', maybe I will have a chance to sell this thing..." Lor said to himself.

According to the information revealed by Captain Roninna, the so-called Dark Moon Society is simply a more secretive and high-end illegal supernatural gathering, whose members can exchange supplies and intelligence in incredible ways.

However, it is still unknown when the rally will start and whether he can successfully sneak in.

"Sell it? Why would you sell it? Wouldn't it be better to use it yourself?"

Just then, Isabella, who had changed her clothes, walked out of the bedroom.

This time she wore a light green off-shoulder dress, a straw hat with a bow on her head, and her long silver hair was simply tied behind her head, looking quite summery.

"How is it?" asked Isabella.

"Not bad." Lor nodded and praised, "As far as disguise is concerned, it's perfect. Dressed so brightly, who would have thought you were actually a vampire?"

"Who asked that? I was asking if you look good!" Isabella pouted.

"It looks good, of course it looks good."

"So, which one looks better, this one or the one just now?"

"Each has its merits," Luo Er thought for a moment and answered seriously, "The white one is more approachable, with a gentle and soft feeling, while this one is brighter and more energetic... Both suit you very well."

"Hey, you're quite good at praising people."

Isabella blushed slightly, obviously, she was very satisfied with Lor's answer.

"So, what did you mean by 'use it yourself'?" Seeing that she was in a good mood, Lor took the opportunity to ask.

"Don't you understand this? Then let the master teach you!" Isabella took the crystal from Lor's hand and glanced at it. "It contains a lot of spiritual power. As long as you absorb and digest it, this spiritual power will be yours... If you succeed, your spiritual power limit will be greatly increased!"

"'If it succeeds'?" Lor frowned. "Does that mean it might fail?"

It sounds dangerous.

At least in the Holy Light Church's ability development system, this is definitely not the right way.

There are many types of supernatural powers, and each has a different "origin". If you rashly absorb power from other sources, you may not only fail to strengthen yourself, but may also suffer backlash.

It is similar to the "devilish obsession" in martial arts novels.

"Don't worry, I'm here to watch over you, so nothing will go wrong!" Isabella assured him, patting her not-so-plump chest. "Such a pure, impure spiritual energy condensation is rare, and the possibility of backlash is almost zero! This is a great opportunity for you to quickly improve your strength!"

Ok……

If the same lines were spoken by the "voice in my head", I would never try it.

Lor thought.

Isabella was right, this opportunity was indeed rare.

Although the simple increase in spiritual power cannot allow him to be promoted to the second level, nor will it bring new extraordinary abilities, but with more spiritual power, the effectiveness of the existing magic will also be improved, and the endurance in battle will also be enhanced.

...It's definitely worth a try.

"There's nothing to hesitate about. I'll be watching from the side. If I see any bad signs, I will interrupt you immediately!" Isabella urged excitedly. After all, when Lor became stronger, she would be able to absorb better quality blood.

The "roots" of the vampires are very special, and simply absorbing spiritual power is meaningless to her.

If you want to restore your original strength, you have to rely on sucking blood.

"Okay then." After carefully considering the situation, Lor made up his mind. "What should we do specifically?"

"Close your eyes and hold this crystal in your hand," Isabella instructed. "First, pour your spiritual power into the crystal and feel it carefully... If your spiritual power can merge with the spiritual power in the crystal, open yourself up and let the spiritual power flow back into your body..."

This feeling is not comfortable.

The strange spiritual power with a strange feeling surged into his body, making Lor feel uncomfortable all over and he instinctively wanted to resist.

But Isabella didn't interrupt, which meant nothing was wrong.

Lor decided to believe her.

Soon, the initial discomfort gradually disappeared, replaced by a burst of heat and a feeling of swelling that was almost exploding... Lor took a deep breath and tried to harmonize the sudden increase in spiritual power in his body.

The heat gradually subsided.

"It seems... successful?" Lor opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and felt his whole body was unblocked.

"Yes, it worked." Isabella nodded.

As the "master," she could clearly sense changes in her "follower's" physical condition. Just by looking at Lor, she could feel the rhythm of his heartbeat and the blood flowing through his veins.

That blood contained a more vigorous vitality than before.

It should be delicious...

Isabella stared at Lor's neck and swallowed unconsciously.

"...Are you greedy?" Lor said with a wry smile.

"No, no!" Isabella turned away proudly. "Besides, I already said I wouldn't suck your blood for three days, and it's only been a day and a half!"

"You're quite calculating... It's okay, go ahead and inhale." Lor unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, exposing his neck. "After all, you helped me a lot today. I'd feel bad if I only gave you dessert as a reward."

"Since you said so... then fine!" Isabella finally couldn't help herself, "I'll just taste it, I won't inhale too much!"

26. Constitution

Late at night, the Mystic Association.

A laboratory located in an inconspicuous corner.

In the dim candlelight, a disheveled young mystic wearing a monocle drew an intricate magic circle on the ground with chalk.

On the left and right sides of the magic circle, there were glass jars filled with turbid solutions, and there were vague shadows moving inside.

There are living things in there.

"There's only one last step left... As long as today's experiment succeeds, my theory will be proven correct!"

The young man muttered to himself rather feverishly, the candlelight reflected from his monocle.

"Three years... three whole years! No one is optimistic about my research. My advisor has questioned my theories more than once, and even refused to approve my research funding... But it doesn't matter. After tonight, I will prove myself once and for all and slap everyone in the face with facts!

"Although I've been stuck at the 'Second Level' for three full years, as long as I produce this achievement, those rigid old men will be forced to acknowledge my intelligence and talent, and I can be promoted to a Third Level Transcendent!"

Tonight is the time to prove the truth!

"call--"

After everything was arranged, the young man wiped the sweat from his forehead and threw the chalk in his hand away.

"The formation is constructed without any problems... The experimental materials are also fine... There's no spiritual disturbance in the environment... Okay, let's officially begin the experiment now!"
