It turns out that everything is... Is that so? Liao Qi, who was walking side by side with Zero on the village path, stopped.

He looked at the maid beside him with a complicated expression.

The words that just came out of Zero's mouth completely subverted his perception of the eldest lady of the blood clan.

"So you're saying... Erin coming to our side soon? Liao Qi repeated the information that had just been revealed to him by Zero.

"Yes, Lord Liao Qi." The maid nodded.

"And the purpose of her coming... You just don't worry about me, and you want to help me rectify Liwei in the village? Liao Qi continued to ask in disbelief.

"Yes, Lord Liao Qi." The maid continued to answer in the affirmative, with few pauses, not even the sentence structure.

“...”

Liao Qi finally stopped talking, the mere fact that Erin would stoop to the human gathering place was enough to exceed his expectations, but the reason why the eldest lady would come over made Liao Qi even more dumbfounded.

I was in the bottom of Irene's heart... Is it taking up such a large position?

No, wait a minute...

Liao Qi came back to his senses from his surprise, and he suddenly realized one of the strange points.

"No, Zero, if it's really like you said, but why didn't Erin come with you directly, but instead had to separate from you, let you come first, and then let herself arrive?"

“...”

The maid finally didn't use the standard sentence structure anymore, and this time Zero was silent under Liao Qi's question.

"Zero?" Liao Qi saw that the maid suddenly closed her mouth, so she was even more confused in her heart.

It seems that pretending to be stupid and silent can't be perfunctory after all, and a touch of helplessness slowly emerges on Zero's paralyzed face.

Sure enough, was it noticed by Lord Liao Qi...

Case...

Miss, I'm sorry...

In fact, in the final analysis, Liao Qi can detect this anomaly, and he has long been in Zero's calculation, in other words, Zero is waiting for Liao Qi to ask.

After all...

She was able to say a lot of things logically.

I saw that the maid sighed first, and then a faint voice sounded in Liao Qi's ears.

"Because the eldest lady doesn't want Lord Liao Qi to know, she cares so much about you, Lord Liao Qi."

"Miss also said, otherwise, it sounds like she is in a hurry to paste Lord Liao Qi, so in this way, in the end, she is the master, or you are the master."

Zero not only told Liao Qi the facts, but even gave an extra gift, imitating Erin's tone at that time and learning what the eldest lady said from Liao Qi.

There is no way, the maid can only help her own young lady to this extent.

And at this time on the opposite side of zero.

“...”

"Then why are you telling me this?" Liao Qi looked at the maid who directly "betrayed" his eldest lady.

But on the other hand, even if she was stared at by Liao Qi like this, the maid's face was still the same as usual, and she didn't feel any sense of remorse.

She even glanced at Liao Qi with a little dissatisfied, and then said lightly:

"There's no way, it's all forced by Lord Liao Qi."

"So, if you can, I hope that Lord Liao Qi can know it in his heart, and when the eldest lady arrives in a while, he still has to pretend not to know."

"Otherwise, when the time comes, the eldest lady will blame her, and Zero will hate and be distressed."

The maid was still expressionless as she spoke.

However, it seems that Zero also noticed that her own context and expression did not match, so Zero paused in place and slowed down, and in front of Liao Qi, she added a distressed frown.

"You..." Liao Qi wanted to say something about Zero's clumsy acting.

You... You don't look like you're going to be distressed at all, right?

Zero, she is clearly just...

Did you deliberately tell him this?

Fortunately, Liao Qi did not reach the point of being hopeless, he immediately understood the meaning of what Zero wanted to express, and did not continue to ask, but Liao Qi didn't know what to say all of a sudden.

Could that be...

Erin's most realistic idea?

As if she had seen some kind of change in Liao Qi's heart, at this time, the maid suddenly took a few steps closer to Liao Qi, and she let herself come to a very close position under Liao Qi's nose.

"Zero?" The maid's sudden body made Liao Qi subconsciously take half a step back, wanting to keep the distance between the two sides.

But the maid didn't explain anything to Liao Qi, she even frowned at Liao Qi's evasion, and then, under Liao Qi's surprised gaze, I saw Zero slowly reach for her collar.

"Zero, what are you going to do, you..."

Liao Qi's words to stop stopped abruptly halfway through.

Because the maid gently pulled her collar down, revealing a small patch of white skin on her neck.

And on top of it, there is a faint bite mark that is not conspicuous, but can still be seen at a glance.

"This is..."Liao Qi frowned and looked at the bite marks.

can leave a mark on the maid, of course, he already has the answer in his heart, but for some reason, Liao Qi can't say it.

"It's the eldest lady."

In the end, Liao Qi, who opened his mouth but didn't make a sound, was added by Zero.

There was a moment of silence between the two.

"Why?" It was Liao Qi who spoke first.

"Because the eldest lady overate too much inferior blood in order to improve Lord Liao Qi's magic power, in the end, only relying on zero blood can make up for the potential of the body's overdraft."

Zero's voice remained the same flat as it was.

But when he heard Liao Qi's ears, it was different from before, he suddenly felt stuffy in his chest, and many words were stuck in his throat for a moment, and he couldn't say it.

No wonder...

Liao Qi finally understood why the "experience points" he had gained from Erin had increased by leaps and bounds every day.

Whether it is the level increase of skills such as "Picking Locks" or "Shadow Walk", Liao Qi almost all of them rely on the "magic" that Irene provided to him, that is, "experience points" to upgrade.

This was originally a headache for Liao Qi, because he had been staying in the castle before, and there were very few ways to obtain experience points, and Erin's powerful "feeding" helped Liao Qi solve this problem.

But who would have thought...

That Bloodline girl relied on...

It turned out that it was not Liao Qi's imagination, a talent as against the sky as eating and drinking, but just a simple ....

Overdrawing your potential?!

"So before I left last night...", taking his eyes off the bite marks, Liao Qi's voice suddenly became much lower.

He thought of something else.

Reaching out and flipping through it, a delicate small glass bottle was taken out of the backpack space by Liao Qi.

The bottle contained a drop of crimson blood, the color was very beautiful, condensed and clean, and people would be immersed in it at a glance.

However, at this moment, Liao Qi no longer had the slightest look of appreciation in his eyes when he looked at the blood in this bottle.

He's just that his face is more complicated.
