Chapter Forty-Four: The Ugly Face
The moment the hand was grasped, the body that had been separated from it slowly opened its eyes. The dense eyebrows parted to reveal pale pink eyes like cherry blossoms. A strange thing happened - Akane Maria and Shizuku were wearing the same expression, their eyes half-closed as they smiled eerily. Holding hands, they spoke in unison: "The way to save Zero is very simple, that child just needs to drink my blood."
Hong Malia's body went limp and fell into a bundle in his arms, while still hanging that strange smile.
"Blood..." Yuji swallowed hard, her beautiful face pale as she stared at Xian.
"That's right, if she had sucked the blood of Master Akane Tsuruga, Zero wouldn't have become a Level E. She would probably have become one of the true vampires." Tsuruga didn't look at her, but simply gave a faint order to Maria who was standing by her side. "Take Maria's body back to her bedroom."
"Yes." A thread picked up Red Maria and headed straight for the door. For him now, Zero was no longer a nuisance as his idol had accepted him. On the contrary, he would also bless him to be with Sakura-sama, even if it was among many men.
Yuji propped herself up, covering her swollen face, and saw that Akane was still sitting on the sofa, her eyes shooting out intense jealousy and malice. But Zero hated this woman to the bone! If she knew that drinking Akane's blood was the only way to obtain redemption, with Zero's temperament, she would rather die than drink Akane's blood!
After the figures of Waita and Red Maria completely disappeared into the house, Shizuku smiled again at Yuuki's shocked face. "This is a promise, just provide blood for the sorrowful me, I'm being chased, need more power."
I flashed with doubt, being chased? Is it the Senate and the Hunter Association? Because of the wedding between Hime and Lito, Hime was disowned by the Sakuraba family. Since Hime is a powerful pure-blooded, the Senate won't let this threat go, so they'll use finding Hime as an excuse to eliminate him and frame the Hunter Association. The reason the Hunter Association is after Hime is because he annihilated the Tsurugi family. Looks like Hime can't take on many alone, when I get back I'll have Sabas-chan give him a good training session. As they say, it's better for women to be protected by men, a man who can't protect his woman isn't a real man. (Aoi Sakuraba, is this really what people say?)
"Can you guarantee Zero won't drink your blood?" Yuuki asked uncertainly.
"I sneered at Yuuki, who was standing not far away, and said 'When did I ever agree to let Rei drink her blood? I only agreed to tell you the method to save Rei, how foolish.' I jumped off the sofa, stretched out my hand, and suddenly hugged Izuru's face, which was gradually changing color as he smiled at Yuuki, and rubbed it."
Silver hair entwined with brown hair, pale pink pupils facing brown red pupils, we gazed at each other quietly, and the pale pink pupils rarely showed a hint of pampering.
"What's going on with you two?! What is your relationship?!" The sharp cry broke the peaceful and warm atmosphere, making me frown involuntarily.
"Why can't I be with Yatsume?! It's none of your business!" Yuuki pouted, still tightly hugging Yatsume.
"How is that possible... Clearly at that time... The look in his eyes at that time... It can't be wrong, it's the look of someone who wants to kill." Youki muttered to herself, as if she had been struck by lightning.
"What's wrong with you, Hime? Have you gone mad?" A puzzled expression on her face as she looked at Hime, who was gazing coldly at Yuuki with an unaccepting attitude, as if looking at a dead person. "At that time, the look in your eyes... actually, I wanted to kill you."
"It turns out that's the case, I didn't think Yuuki's brain was still so bad. It's impossible for her to be on par with Jurai Yuuki for her entire life, it would only insult the Jurai family." I don't want this kind of girl to become my substitute at all! My brain is much better than hers, and I don't want to be as stupid as her, plus she's still so arrogant.
"What did you just say?! I'll have you know, I'm going to send this little tramp to the Western Heaven right now!! You're just a short, ugly thing, and yet you dare to go after Kaito and Zero? Don't you have any shame?! It's not like having a cute face is anything special! Just wait, I'll cut up that trashy face of yours and see if Kaito and Zero will still look at you twice!! That person gave me power stronger than the Purebloods, and she said that as long as I kill you, Black Rose, I can have Kaito and Zero for myself!! And it's not just them - she told me that if I kill you, I'll get even more handsome men than they are!! What's so special about having a Pureblood woman by your side?! Just wait, I'll send her to the Yellow Springs with you!!"
"...... You think she's too desperate for a man? Wanting a man to the point of this degree." Tian Naively raised her head, pulled at Xian's kimono, but her tone was extremely disdainful.
"You!! Go to hell!!" Yuuki's anger burst through her brain, and with lightning speed, she drew out the Goddess of Hunting from her sleeve and charged forward. In that instant, the Goddess of Hunting transformed into a blood-red scythe-like shape, filled with an evil color.
I swiftly pulled out the 'Blood Princess Scythe' that God had handed me from the Blood-colored Poinsettia, blocking her attack with a scythe of the same blood-red color. Let's see whose scythe and strength are more formidable, Yukina!
Waving the sickle in her hand, she slashed at the grotesque face of Yuuki like a rainstorm, with each collision of blades sparking fire. Using the power of pure blood to quickly flash behind her, she pressed the sharp blade of the sickle against her neck. Even though Yuuki's strength surpassed that of pure blood, it was impossible for her to grasp its true extent in such a short time, because only one who possessed the power of pure blood knew what it truly was. "Speak! Who gave you this kind of power? And why did you appear in this world ten years ago?"
