Chapter 2121 - 564: Of Course Hot Spring Peak Has Hot Springs (4)

Erin lifted her head and met those deep purple eyes, this time her gaze did not evade. The shadows in her heart seemed to dissipate a little, and a serene smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you, hearing you say that makes me feel much better."

Luo Yan nodded with a smile.

"You're welcome."

Erin looked at Colin sitting across from her.

From the first day they met until now, he seemed to always appear at the crucial moments, extending a helping hand to her who was in distress.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, she buried her chin and gaze back between her knees and said softly.

"You always show up when I need it, whether on the battlefield or... elsewhere. Sometimes I really don't know how to thank you..."

"No need to thank me."

Luo Yan smiled gently, his tone warm as he spoke.

"You've helped me a lot too, it's just that you haven't realized it yourself. For instance... as I just said, your light illuminates those around you, and I am one of them."

These words made Erin's heart skip a beat.

She blinked, water droplets hanging on her long eyelashes, making her look particularly enchanting, and suddenly said impulsively.

"Then... could you do me another favor?"

Luo Yan smiled slightly.

"I'd be happy to serve you."

Erin didn't immediately speak out, instead blushing, hesitating in the water for quite a while, as if she needed to borrow courage from her next life.

"I want... to try it."

"Try it?"

"Hmm... I've never tried it, I want to know what it feels like..."

Hmm?

Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, looking at her shy yet bold appearance, feeling his own heartbeat skip a beat involuntarily.

What's going on?

"Don't, don't misunderstand..."

As if realizing the ambiguity of her words, Erin was startled by her own boldness, blushing as if blood might drip from her face, hurriedly adding another sentence.

"It's just... blood, sucking blood..."

Saint Sis above...

She was definitely not that kind of casual person, hoping Prince Colin wouldn't misunderstand, she was just curious about what vampirism was all about.

This had always been her confusion, something she had never discussed with anyone, not even Theresa who knew the inside story.

Ever since becoming part of the Blood Race, Colin has exuded a fatal attraction that made her involuntarily swallow.

Especially at night.

Every time she's next to him, she had to endure for a long time to suppress the urge to pounce and bite him.

After that night at Glanton Castle, Erin reflected carefully, perhaps it wasn't because she was drunk that she acted so rashly, but because of some instinct of the Blood Race.

She had researched a lot, but the library at Thunder City didn't have much on Hell, the Encyclopedia barely mentioned it.

However, one thing she could be sure of, if just a bite and not drawing too much of life's essence, it wouldn't cause any substantial harm to the other party.

She initially wanted to forget about it, but Colin's previous statement kept echoing in her mind—

'If you're really hungry, you can borrow my neck.'

Hmm, no other meaning.

Erin just wanted to know whether he was serious or just coaxing her.

"You... you said..."

Erin dared not look Luo Yan in the eyes, her gaze wandered near his collarbone as she softly swallowed a gulp.

"If really hungry, you can borrow your neck... actually, the arm is fine too."

In this silent night, that clear "gulp" sounded exceptionally loud, also exceedingly enticing.

Even Taufu, lurking underwater watching secretly, couldn't help but join in the anticipatory "gulp," golden vertical pupils flashing with expectancy.

What's going on?!

So the hairless monkey's heat period is in summer?

Hurry up!

Looking at Miss Brave whose breathing became increasingly rapid and cheeks ever hotter, soaking in the hot spring, Luo Yan momentarily didn't know what to say.

Then... gently?

But saying this himself, wouldn't it seem a bit strange?

Just as the atmosphere between the two gradually heated up, a sudden "clang" shattered this enchanting tranquility.

It was the sound of a wooden tub slamming hard against the rock floor.

Luo Yan and Erin turned their heads simultaneously.

Behind the swirling White Mist, stood Vivian with her hair tied in a bun, wrapped in a white bath towel, staring dumbfounded at the hot spring side.

"Vivian?!" Erin exclaimed, her eyes appearing momentarily flustered, though she didn't understand what she was panicking about.

"What are you doing here?!" Vivian seemed like a squirrel having its tail stepped on, her already sharp voice rose another octave.

Her crimson eyes darted between the two, pupils filled with shock, as if hit by an earthquake.

A blushing Erin was just about to explain, but Vivian didn't give her a chance to speak, with a "plop" she jumped into the hot spring.

The purple projectile landed precisely beside Luo Yan, quickly gliding and soon hanging onto someone's arm.

"What are you doing?!"

Erin stood up with a splash, gripping her towel red-faced, staring in surprise at the little rascal forcing herself beside Colin.

Vivian wiped water from her face, gave Erin a smug look, masking her own embarrassment at that moment.
