Chapter 217: The Return of Spiritual Power
The annual celebration in Yueqin Village made the villagers continue to revelve until late, but in the early hours of the morning, they were accustomed to sunrise and sunset, and finally dispersed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The small square was quiet, and the statue on the altar had already been taken back by the village chief of Banku, but the jar of horse blood was still neatly placed in its place.
Lucia tiptoed over and picked up a jar of blood. First she smelled it, it was sweet and fragrant, more tempting than fine wine, she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then couldn't wait to pick up the jar.
"Aren't you afraid of being exposed for acting so recklessly?"
The cold words behind her made Lucia shudder, and she almost fell on the jar in her hand. She reluctantly turned to face Xuanyu's rosy face and his increasingly pale lips.
"Reckless?" Lucia clung to the jar, "nothing but horse blood." ā
"What's the difference between horse blood and human blood?" Xuanyu asked calmly.
Lucia knew that Xuanyu was testing her again, and at this juncture, she didn't want to go willful, but she didn't understand that there was ready-made blood in front of her, why couldn't she use it?
"Of course it's the same, in the eyes of our blood demons, they are all high and low in life, and there is no distinction between high and low. Lucia thought her answer was very standard, but Xuanyu shook her head after hearing this.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong!" Xuanyu said continuously, "Of course, human blood is much more expensive than horse blood, have you forgotten? Sucking out one person's blood replenishes far more spiritual power than the blood of five horses, so in this way, it is more cost-effective to suck human blood." ā
Lucia smiled, she never expected that her thoughts still couldn't keep up with Xuanyu's rhythm: "Are all blood demons like this?"
"It may be different, but it's only a fraction of a difference. Xuanyu said.
"Well," said Lucia, "I'll give you two more reasons. First, horse blood is ready-made, and if I don't drink it, I'll throw it out tomorrow, so why waste it?Second, Xuanyu, you're holding on, I don't care how long you can suffer, I don't want to die with you. ā
The corners of Xuanyu's mouth rose slightly: "This is for sacrificing to the gods." He smiled and walked over, snatching the jar back from the other's arms and putting it back on top of the altar, "What if they find the blood gone?"
"It's been used by God. Lucia half-jokingly said, "Probably the gods they worship have something to do with Xuanyu." ā
Xuanyu smiled lightly: "It turns out that you also found out." ā
Lucia jumped, sat down on the altar, and then shook her legs leisurely: "So obviously how can you not find out, but I still want to ask you." ā
Lucia blinked, paused, and then lowered her voice preoccupiedly, "That god really isn't you?"
Xuanyu's eyes wandered, and then he said something unclear: "Is it or not?"
"Whether you admit it or not, the gods in this village can at least be determined to be blood demons. Lucia thought for a moment and said, "The big bird on the shoulder of that idol must be a bloodthirsty beast." ā
"After all, it was a long time ago, so what does it matter if it is or not?" but if you are interested, I can remind you......" Xuanyu said softly, "Do you remember that when you talked to Sennao in Crescent Moon Manor, she revealed that a blood demon once visited Emerald City, and since they have all arrived in Emerald City, it is not impossible to go to this Elysium Island." ā
Lucia nodded in contemplation, and then laughed again: "If it weren't for you, I would still be interested in him, you blood demons are rare to see, if I can see the two of them, I will not be in vain!"
Xuanyu sighed and touched Lucia's head dotingly: "Idiot, if you let you see other blood demons, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"
Xuanyu's meaningful words made Lucia feel a little uneasy, but when his warm fingers stroked his hair, there was endless comfort and comfort, Lucia enjoyed the moment, and then picked up the jar next to her, and drank it down.
Lucia's unexpected move was seen by Xuanyu, he didn't stop it, as Lucia guessed, now he is just holding on, and now no matter what kind of disaster Lucia will cause after drinking the blood of the gods, it can only be like this. Standing quietly and watching Lucia drink all her blood from jar to jar, his eyes became as gentle as water. The ruddy faded, and the complexion turned a sickly snow-white. At the same time, the pale lips were like cinnabar, like a blooming red rose, and the petals were stained with blood, which was extremely enchanting.
Getting along with such a Xuanyu, Lucia still has some resistance in her heart. But it's a good thing that life is okay after all, she was mentally prepared to meet his intimidating eyes, and at that moment, her heart beat faster. In front of her was the Xuanyu who had not appeared for a long time, beautiful and lonely, without any warmth, and even the warmth that had been passed on to Lucia before was dispelled by the cold air like wind and snow, making her body tremble and shiver.
I have been dragging my heavy and weak body, anxiously enduring the pain caused by every inch of my skin. Between breaths, the return of energy made Xuanyu like a spring breeze, he took a deep breath, all the pride and indifference instantly occupied his brain, and when he opened his eyes again, he met Lucia's eyes, seeing the hesitation and fear in her eyes, and her trembling shoulders. For some reason, Xuanyu was a little overwhelmed, this feeling had never been felt before, when the energy was ingested, he would not care about Lucia's mood, but this time it was a little different.
The long breath turned into a sigh, the corners of his mouth rose, and the smile was extremely enchanting in Lucia's eyes, but Xuanyu unloaded the spiritual power around her body after this smile. After a moment of light, the gentle Xuanyu returned to Lucia, and he sneered and pinched her stunned face: "Why did you really become an idiot?"
"What are you doing?" Lucia said quietly, after half a sound, "Why did you unload your spiritual power?"
"Idiot, the bloodthirsty beast is not easy to use, of course the spiritual power must be stored. Xuanyu said, pinching Lucia's face harder, "Didn't I do this before?"
Lucia blinked, as if she understood, and suddenly she exclaimed, "It hurts!"
Xuanyu instantly covered her mouth: "Idiot, are you trying to wake up the people in the village so loudly to arrest us?"
Lucia, who realized it later, rubbed her face and said, "Who made you pinch so much!"
"I've been pinching for a long time, and I almost thought your skin was so thick that the pain couldn't reach your little head. Xuanyu half-jokingly mocked Lucia, thinking that the other party would lose her temper as usual, but Lucia kept her head down and was silent, and suddenly the whole person rushed into Xuanyu's arms, burying her face underneath, and couldn't hear the sound of crying, only saw that under the red curly hair, the slender shoulders were shaking violently.
Xuanyu didn't interrupt Lucia, just stroked her hair, and waited silently for her to adjust her state of mind. After half a ring, her head was raised, and although she could faintly see the tear stains, she was now full of smiles.
"You've been deceived! She smiled, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth that she hadn't seen in a long time.
"Well, I was deceived by you this time. Xuanyu said softly.
"Xuanyu, let's go. Lucia suddenly said this, which made Xuanyu a little confused.
"Where are you going?"
"Rixian Village!" said Lucia, "Jasmine said to take us there, and it will be the appointed time soon." As for these......" she glanced at the empty jar, "leave it alone!"
"Good ......" Xuanyu echoed a warm smile, like the rising sun behind him.
