Their commission was suspicious.

What other reason could make Vita back down so smoothly, besides a pay raise?

Great! The base salary has increased from 2000 to 3000.

Now the basic daily wage is 100 Paradise Coins. If this continues, 3000 a day may not be a dream!

Chen Luo and Suo Ke are really different; he actually pays salaries!

"...But Vita's identity is also pitiful. She is someone's agent, that is, a tool. Her actions are not from her own heart."

"Although she can't be considered a great philanthropist without external pressure, there is still a difference between intentional and unintentional actions."

“Although a broken mirror cannot be mended—I can do that, but that’s what I mean—you can try to do other things to make up for it. For example, Vita volunteered to join the Hyperion and contribute her share to saving the world,” Chen Luo said, stroking Yuexia’s head.

"You are the same under the moon. Your actions are not of your own free will. No one is born wrong. If the power of evil is used for good, it can save the world. The same is true for the power of corruption."

Comforted by Chen Luo, Yuexia buried her head in his chest without saying a word until Vita made the sound of her shoving the milk tea with a straw, at which point Yuexia raised her head.

“I understand. Come, human, I am ready.” His eyes under the moonlight were more resolute than ever before.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

In contrast, Karen is now almost frantic with worry.

My silly sister, don't do anything foolish.

Under the moonlight, she lifted her collar, revealing her smooth, white neck and collarbone.

Then he showed it to Chen Luo.

"???" by Karen

No, what are you two doing in front of me, your older sister?

What are you planning to do in front of everyone?

Is there anyone going to do something about those two?

Karen was astonished.

Moonlight, what's wrong? Moonlight? Are you planning to experience the allure of adulthood before you disappear?

Karen was incredulous.

Chen Luo looked at Yuexia as if to confirm her determination. He only looked away after their eyes met for a moment, and then bent down.

When Karen saw that Chen Luo's lip wasn't on Yuexia's cheek, or even her lips, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then became even more confused.

Chen Luo opened his mouth and bit down on Yuexia's neck.

Blood suddenly appeared.

Through the gap, Karen, sitting opposite him, saw the "tiger teeth" growing from Chen Luo's mouth...

This kind of toothed Karen has only been seen on one person—Under the Moon.

Those are the teeth of beings called vampires, used specifically to suck blood.

When Karen saw it in Chen Luo, she knew things had gone beyond her expectations.

It is true that Luna Kindred was born from the Key of Corruption, but neither the Key of Corruption nor the Herrscher of Corruption itself has fangs.

Which of you two is the vampire?

The thought flashed through Karen's mind, followed by panic, because Karen heard an ominous sound coming from Theresa's mouth.

"Mmm, um..."

It seemed like pain, yet it seemed like pleasure.

Those who know might think they're here to leech off others; those who don't might think...

Karen was worried about the situation at hand, but her eyes darted around because of the voice coming from the side under the moon.

But it was precisely because of this that Karen discovered that the booth she had created was now surrounded by a faint black mist.

Apart from the two people Chen Luo brought in who were looking this way, everyone else seemed to ignore this strange scene.

This relieved Karen; at least her sister's embarrassing sounds wouldn't be heard by others.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Luo, who had been burying his head in the moonlight, finally raised his head.

As if exhausted, Yuexia fell directly into Chen Luo's arms, her clothes slightly disheveled from the action of pulling open her collar.

Karen asked Chen Luo to let her go, but didn't say when.

After doing all this, Chen Luo snapped his fingers, releasing Karen from his control.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

However, Karen remained motionless, which startled Chen Luo, making him wonder if he had given the wrong instruction.

That's right.

"Miss Karen? Karen?" Chen Luo called softly.

Only then did Karen's eyes gradually become more lively.

Karen gave Chen Luo, the boy who had messed up her sister's life right in front of her, a complicated look in her eyes.

All that had just happened left Karen, a child several hundred years old, somewhat at a loss for words.

"What...did you just do?" Karen asked.

"It's quite obvious. I drank Yuexia's blood, changing my relationship with Yuexia to one of Yuexia and you. In other words, I used a stronger corrosive force to erode the corrosive force within her," Chen Luo explained.

Of course, Chen Luo didn't understand why Yuexia had to use blood-sucking to transform herself, when there were simpler methods.

But what can you do when the task requires it to be this way?

Then Chen Luo gained another member of his family.

Similar to Otto and Klein, they are not puppets and can still receive some of Chen Luo's blessings, but their improvement is not significant.

However, Otto and Klein are followers of domination, while Moonbeam is a follower of corruption.

In fact, Yuexia no longer needs to be strengthened. She possesses both the same super-mutant factor as Kosmo, a Honkai Beast of the End-of-Days level, and the power of erosion, making her a perfect combination of the two... except for the blood-sucking urge.

Aside from this drawback, Moonlit Night's potential is no less than that of Kosmo.

Therefore, what Moonlight needs is not a strengthener, but a chain of constraints.

【Restricted play! 】

[Using tentacles on the older sister and restraints on the younger sister, as expected of you!]

"..."

"But, but..." Karen never expected things to turn out this way.

"Sister, you don't actually think that the self-destructive wish humans mentioned is that I want to die, do you?" Yuexia, who had been transformed into a Familia by Chen Luo, lay weakly in Chen Luo's arms, but still had some strength to talk to her sister.

"..." Karen's eyes darted around.

Theresa was clearly right.

But Karen felt she shouldn't be blamed, because her behavior under the moonlight had misled her.

Judging from Yuexia's tone and expression just now, it seemed like she didn't want to live anymore.

"I haven't lived enough yet. I haven't lived the life my sister and I wanted to live. I haven't seen all of this world. I haven't given back the three chances to make a wish to humanity. If we can live, who would want to die?" Yuexia covered her chest and smiled easily.

Because Yuexia no longer feels the urge to suck blood.

This is Yuexia's wish: rather than entrusting her actions to the vampiric desire that could spiral out of control at any moment, she would rather hand the other end of the chain to Chen Luo.

Although she hadn't known Chen Luo for long, Yuexia trusted the boy who had helped her in the alley.

At least Yuexia knew that the other person wanted to control her and didn't need to care about her feelings at all.

"Phew, that scared me to death. Next time you make a decision like this, remember to tell your sister."

"But if I tell her, my sister definitely won't agree, right? She'll definitely shoulder all the burdens herself and try every means to obtain the corrosive energy from humans to prolong my life. But I don't want my sister to work so hard."

"So I can only use this method that solves the problem once and for all."

After her body recovered its strength at an extremely rapid pace, Yuexia propped herself up from Chen Luo's embrace.

"Theresa... are you experiencing any side effects right now?" Since the matter was already settled, Karen had nothing more to say and could only turn her concern elsewhere.

"There are no side effects. Except..." Yuexia looked up at Chen Luo.

"Besides what?" Karen pressed.

"Besides knowing that I can actually do good with this power."

While Yuexia was being infused with corrupting power by Chen Luo, Chen Luo, in order to prove that what he said was true, also told Yuexia about the Holy Grail of Sin.

Knowing that her power could even save the world, Yuexia no longer felt aversion to this power.

This power can not only hurt people, but also save them, and protect those who are important to you!

A concept instilled by Chen Luo gradually came to Yuexia's agreement: power may not be used, but it cannot be absent!

"Sister, I plan to make up for my past mistakes," Yuexia suddenly said.

“I’ll go with you,” Karen said immediately.

"Thank you, sister." Yuexia revealed a delicate and beautiful smile.

"Well... since you two want to do good deeds, would you like to come to my Hyperion?" Looking at Moonlit and Karen, who had already decided on their future aspirations, Chen Luo extended an invitation to board the ship.

Yuexia glanced at Karen subconsciously, and only after Karen nodded trustingly at Yuexia did Yuexia speak in a clear voice.

"Then... I'd like to ask humans to take care of me a little longer."

“No problem. But then again, I feel like I’ve forgotten something…” Chen Luo frowned.

At the same time, a red figure passed by the Houmu Restaurant and came into view of Chen Luo, Karen, and the others who were sitting by the window.

Ms. Himeko, a vigilante in Canghai City responsible for apprehending the serial bloodsucking case in Canghai City, scratched her head in frustration.

"Where did that despicable criminal go? And that boy who said he'd help me solve the case... could something have happened to him?"

Chapter 2147 Under the Golden Moon: Human, Do You Prefer the Stars or the Moon? (9k)

"Oh, you mean Himeko. I should have reminded her after this was resolved, but I forgot," Kallen said apologetically.

Although the suspect in the serial bloodsucking case in Canghai City was "subdued" yesterday, the normal time for sisters to get together was far too short, and Karen became so engrossed in her sweet moments that she forgot to remind Himeko about it.

Himeko is probably still busy searching for the suspect.

Each world bubble is a complete world (but some are large and some are small). As the saint of Schicksal, Kallen's status is exceptionally noble, even if she is not fully resurrected. She can be considered Himeko's superior, and they have a good relationship.

So, after learning that her younger sister Theresa had come to this city, Kallen had considered whether to seek help from Himeko, the local bigwig.

Now that the crisis is over, it's time to remind her not to keep running around.

“Then… how about I go out and chase after them first? I’ll be right back,” Karen said.

“Okay, go ahead, I’ll keep watch over Yuexia for you.” Chen Luo nodded.

The corrosive power within Yuexia's body was being eroded by Chen Luo's corrosive power into a higher level of corrosive power, equivalent to a bone-cleansing and marrow-refining process.

The level increase caused a temporary feeling of weakness in the body, but in reality, one punch could kill a bull.

As long as there is enough magic to replenish it, rapid recovery will not be a problem for Yuexia, who has been tainted by Chen Luo's SSS-level corrosive power.

Moreover, vampires have naturally high regenerative abilities.

"Vita, bring the Holy Grail over here." Chen Luo watched as Kallen, who was about to leave, dispelled the corrosive energy near her seat, allowing Kallen to depart. Chen Luo then went to find Vita.

"Oh." Vita tossed the Holy Grail she had been holding to Chen Luo.

Vita was so ambitious that the Holy Grail in her possession almost never stopped growing.

However, the desire to improve oneself can be considered a form of greed, but it is not pure, so the growth rate is somewhat slow.

Chen Luo placed the Holy Grail on the table, then straightened Yuexia, who was leaning on his shoulder.

"Clang!" Chen Luo's fingers flicked the Holy Grail, the crisp sound echoing in the restaurant but attracting little attention.

In a restaurant, it's normal for cups to get bumped.

But what was abnormal was that a scarlet liquid gradually began to emerge from Chen Luo's golden Holy Grail...
