Chapter 192 - 191: Blood Satisfaction
Chapter 192: Chapter 191: Blood Satisfaction
After drinking the blood, Qi Yue’s entire demeanor changed instantly.
Normally, her expression was cool and elegant.
But now, she couldn’t hide the hint of a smile.
The icy beauty’s smile was stunning.
And it was obvious that her complexion had improved greatly.
She looked as if she had just woken up from a restful sleep.
Radiant and refreshed.
Her cheeks were also rosier than usual.
Her lips, in particular, were a more tender shade of red.
It was as if she were wearing light makeup.
Zhao Chi pulled up Qi Yue’s status in the system.
[Name]Qi Yue
[State]Blood Supplement: Energy Limit +33%, Mood +7%
’Is this the limit?’
Zhao Chi smiled. "Qi Yue, how are you feeling now?"
Qi Yue chuckled lightly. "I feel great. I feel full of Energy, and my Mood is exceptionally good."
Zhao Chi said, "Gu Qing, conjure a little more blood for her."
"Mm, okay."
Gu Qing was naturally willing.
It wasn’t painful or itchy for her, after all.
Besides, she and Qi Yue had a very good relationship.
Soon, another pool of fresh blood appeared in Gu Qing’s palm.
Qi Yue was about to refuse, but since Gu Qing had already produced it, refusing now would just be a waste.
Qi Yue smiled gently. "Thank you, Sister Gu Qing."
Gu Qing laughed. "Why are you being so formal with me? Go on, drink up."
Qi Yue cupped her palm and gently drank it all.
[Name]Qi Yue
[State]Blood Satisfaction: Energy Limit +50%, Mood +10%
’Her State changed from Blood Supplement to Blood Satisfaction?’
’Is *this* the limit?’
Qi Yue’s condition changed again.
Her cheeks went from rosy to a brilliant, vivid color.
Her lips went from a tender red to a soft crimson.
If she looked like she was wearing light makeup before, now it was closer to heavy makeup.
But this look was completely natural.
It seemed to be a makeup style that was tailor-made for Qi Yue.
And she seemed a little happier.
Gu Qing smiled. "Qi Yue, you can really save money on Cosmetics from now on. You’re so beautiful right now."
Praised by Gu Qing, Qi Yue became a little shy.
"Sister Gu Qing, don’t make fun of me."
"I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, ask the Lord."
Zhao Chi nodded. "Gu Qing is right. The word ’beautiful’ certainly describes you right now."
Qi Yue chuckled lightly. "Thank you, Lord, and thank you, Sister Gu Qing."
Gu Qing smiled. "No need to thank us. Do you want some more blood? Can you change even more?"
Qi Yue shook her head. "I’m not sure, but I feel a bit full. Not full from food, but full from the blood."
Zhao Chi was also very curious.
"Gu Qing, conjure a little more. You can make a smaller amount this time. Qi Yue, try it again."
"Mm, okay." The two women both nodded.
After she drank it this time, there was no change to Qi Yue’s status Bonus.
Furthermore, both her complexion and her state had stabilized.
’It seems the strongest Effect of Bloodthirst is a +50% Energy Limit and a +10% Mood.’
’But I don’t know the Duration.’
This would be easy to test. Since Zhao Chi could see her status in real-time, he would probably figure it out completely in a day or two.
Zhao Chi said gently, "Gu Qing, I’ll have to trouble you to provide blood for Qi Yue from now on."
Gu Qing nodded. "No problem. You can count on me."
Qi Yue felt a little guilty. "Thank you, Sister Gu Qing. I feel bad for needing your blood every day."
Gu Qing waved her hand dismissively.
"It’s nothing. You don’t drink that much anyway, and I have plenty of blood. Come get some whenever you want."
"Then I’ll be in your care, Sister Gu Qing."
Qi Yue bowed to Gu Qing.
Then she looked toward Zhao Chi.
Zhao Chi felt like there was still an unextinguished Flame in her eyes.
It was just like the look Gu Qing got in her eyes when he had been rushing to craft fashion items and hadn’t touched her for a long time.
And it seemed she really had something she wanted to say.
But it was as if she were hesitating.
Zhao Chi said, "Qi Yue, if you have something to say, you can say it directly. You don’t need to hesitate in front of me."
Gu Qing smiled. "That’s right, the Lord is very easy to talk to."
’Easy to talk to?’
Zhao Chi glanced at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing gave him a coquettish smile.
Qi Yue said softly, "Lord... I... I still want to drink a little of your blood. Is just a little bit okay?"
This took Zhao Chi by surprise.
He asked, "Are you not full? Didn’t you just say you felt a kind of fullness from the blood?"
Of course, Zhao Chi was willing to let her drink.
But his main concern was that if she felt full just now but was hungry again already...
...then her demand for blood would be far too great.
But looking at the system, her Bonus hadn’t decreased.
Qi Yue shook her head. "No, I’m still very full, but I don’t know why... I just feel like your blood, Lord, smells especially fragrant. I really want to have a taste."
As she spoke, she swallowed a large mouthful of saliva.
GULP.
’That’s good, then.’
Zhao Chi breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I don’t know Gu Qing’s method. How am I supposed to get blood for you?"
Qi Yue tilted her head and thought for a moment.
"Um... Lord, could you give me one of your fingers? Would that be okay?"
"Sure."
Zhao Chi held out his hand.
Qi Yue took his hand, curled his other fingers back, and left only the index finger extended.
Qi Yue subconsciously glanced at Gu Qing. Gu Qing was smiling at her but didn’t say anything.
Qi Yue took his index finger into her mouth.
Zhao Chi braced himself to be bitten.
After all, they say the ten fingers are connected to the heart.
It was bound to sting.
But a moment later, he only felt the slick slide of Qi Yue’s tongue.
Then she began to gently suck the blood.
It didn’t hurt at all.
It even tickled a little.
GULP.
GULP.
GULP.
Qi Yue drank for a good while, but Zhao Chi didn’t lose much blood.
The blood vessels in a finger are very fine, after all.
Most of what Qi Yue was swallowing was her own saliva.
GULP.
GULP.
He had thought Qi Yue would really only take a tiny bit.
But Qi Yue’s eyes had already become hazy.
Just like Tang Ruan after Recharging her Energy last night, her gaze was unfocused.
’Looks like she’s hooked.’
But Zhao Chi didn’t stop her.
This was also a form of experiment.
GULP.
GULP.
GULP.
After a little while longer, Qi Yue seemed to regain her senses.
Or perhaps she was finally full.
Her small mouth opened, releasing Zhao Chi’s finger.
"Ahhh~"
Qi Yue let out a long, satisfied sigh.
It was like a thirsty person drinking an ice-cold beverage after a long run.
Or like an exhausted person collapsing into bed the moment after a hot shower.
In short, it was an incredibly satisfying feeling.
Zhao Chi’s fingertip had turned pale.
He didn’t know how much she had drunk, but he hadn’t felt a thing.
"I’s sorry, Lord! I don’t know what came over me just now. I completely forgot I was drinking your blood. I really only meant to have a taste; I didn’t expect to drink for so long."
Zhao Chi shook his head. "Don’t worry about it. Qi Yue, how did you get even more beautiful?"
Qi Yue had changed again.
Her cheeks went from brilliantly vivid to alluringly delicate.
Her lips went from soft crimson to a fresh, bright red.
She looked as if she were wearing the makeup of a bride on her wedding day.
Truly beautiful, truly stunning.
Zhao Chi quickly opened her status interface.
