Dark Blood Path - Chapter 87: Slime Advancement
After a few rounds of lovemaking.
Han Kexin lay softly in Xiao Yu’s arms, her breathing slightly hurried, her face slightly flushed, with a satisfied and happy expression. Her eyes were narrowed, with a hint of tingling in her beautiful eyes. Her plump and straight legs were slightly bent, like a gentle kitten.
Xiao Yu gently stroked the stunning beauty in his arms, and after a while, he spoke. He tried to change his usual cold and plain tone to make his voice sound a little more gentle. “Kexin, you should go back now.”
“No, I want to stay a little longer.” Han Kexin pouted like a little girl, hugging Xiao Yu tightly, making her ample bosom press against him even tighter. Her voice was soft and gentle as she said, “I never knew what it felt like to truly fall in love with someone. But these days, you’ve let me experience this feeling… I don’t know when it started, but I’ve become dependent on you. Whenever I see you hurt, especially when you get hurt for my sake, my heart aches. Unconsciously, I can’t help but guess what’s on your mind. Every time I see you frown, I feel so sad, and I really want to share some of your pressure and worries…”
Xiao Yu remained silent, listening quietly to Han Kexin’s words.
Suddenly, Han Kexin smiled and spoke in a soft and gentle voice, “Even though what happened yesterday was an accident and I lost something that had been precious to me for over 20 years, I didn’t feel unhappy at all. In fact, I felt incredibly happy, like I’ve never felt before. It feels so good to be your woman, Xiao Yu.”
Xiao Yu felt a bit at a loss for words. He had very little experience with matters of love and relationships. Hearing Han Kexin express her feelings so openly, he wanted to say something sweet to make her happy, but he couldn’t find the right words and hesitated to speak, so he remained silent.
“You…” Han Kexin seemed to sense Xiao Yu’s embarrassment and couldn’t help but laugh coyly. Then she continued, “No wonder Xiaowen said that you’re like a goose and don’t know how to make to impress girls at all. But I like you just the way you are. Speaking of Jiang Xiaowen, how do you plan to handle your relationship with her?”
Xiao Yu furrowed his brow slightly and said with a helpless tone, “Let’s put this aside for now. We shouldn’t let Xiaowen know about what’s happening between us. Our upcoming adventure will be very dangerous, and I don’t want it to emotionally affect her. If something goes wrong because of this, it will be terrible. Xiaowen’s abilities are not inferior to ours, and she will become a strong person in the future. However, she still lacks experience. After we leave the forest, I will find the right opportunity to talk to her and tell her about our relationship.”
“You big idiot!”
Han Kexin exclaimed with frustration, but there was also a sense of relief and happiness in her tone.
After all, no matter the era or the woman, no one likes a man who embraces them while still thinking about other women. Although Han Kexin had the heart to accept Jiang Xiaowen, she was glad that Xiao Yu had prioritized her safety and emotional well-being.
” Han Kexin deliberately wore a stern expression and spoke in a low voice, “When it comes to fighting, you are an undisputed genius, but why are you so clueless in other aspects? Xiaowen is such a good girl, can you bear to let her leave with a broken heart and tears? Even if you can be that ruthless, how can I face her in the future? Am I really the kind of person who steals someone else’s sweetheart from them?”
Xiao Yu furrowed his brows but remained silent.
Han Kexin continued, “You may hate me in the future, and I’ll carry a burden in my heart as well. So, in my opinion, you should take Xiaowen as well.”
Xiao Yu couldn’t help but imagine Jiang Xiaowen’s cute and adorable appearance, and he let out a sigh, saying, “Let’s talk about this later. Regardless, it’s not the right time to think about these things given the current situation.”
“Stop acting helpless, you’re going to have the advantages anyway,” Han Kexin said with anger. “I, Han Kexin, have always been a proud woman. I cannot bear to share a man with other women. I would rather die than do such a thing.”
She embraced Xiao Yu and sighed, “But then I met you. You are calm, strong, and wise, and you have fascinated me. You have also saved me many times, even at the risk of your own safety. We have a special relationship, and my heart will always belong to you. No one can change that.”
“Kexin, you actually don’t have to do this,” Xiao Yu said, feeling touched. He once again questioned whether the person in his arms was really the cruel and ruthless Bloody Queen from his past life.
This was clearly a fairy who could melt even iron men!
Han Kexin raised her head, her beautiful eyes shining with a unique brilliance. “I believe that with your abilities, you will accomplish great things in the future and become a renowned and legendary hero. Of course, only such a man is worthy of being loved by Han Kexin, and deserving of my wholehearted devotion! But at that time, I’m sure there will be many women around you. I don’t want to interfere with how many women you have in the future, but please don’t neglect me.”
Xiao Yu hugged Han Kexin proactively and spoke softly, “I never thought of becoming a hero, but I will never allow anyone I care about to be hurt. Now, let’s go to sleep. You’re thinking too much.”
Feeling the strong embrace, Han Kexin’s heart was overwhelmed, and her eyes became slightly moist. “Xiao Yu…” she whispered.
This was clearly a fairy who could melt even iron men!
Xiao Yu took the initiative to kiss those two warm and soft red lips, and Han Kexin was already deeply moved. She closed her eyes and responded to Xiao Yu, and after a moment, their bodies intertwined with each other.
It was just before dawn.
Han Kexin put on her clothes and left Xiao Yu’s tent sneakily. Two hours later, people started to come out of their tents one after another. Han Kexin’s face was rosy, her eyes shining, and she looked energetic and full of vitality. After a few intimate encounters, the shine between her eyebrows became more and more florid, and she occasionally sent signals to Xiao Yu. Jiang Xiaowen, relying on her keen intuition as a woman, noticed the changes in Han Kexin’s temperament and appearance… as if she had become even more beautiful than before. She couldn’t help but scrutinize her with a suspicious look, but no matter how she tried to speak, Han Kexin remained silent, leaving Jiang Xiaowen no choice but to give up.
Xiao Yu glanced at Han Kexin, and she winked at him in return.
Jiang Xiaowen approached them and warmly greeted, “Xiao Yu, good morning! How was your night?”
Xiao Yu met her pure and clean gaze and suddenly felt a little guilty upon hearing the question. “Uh….it was alright, I guess,” he replied with his usual calm tone.
Behind Jiang Xiaowen, Han Kexin made a silly face before quickly returning to her usual composure and politely greeted Xiao Yu. Taking advantage of everyone’s distraction, she secretly threw a flirtatious look at him.
Xiao Yu couldn’t help but feel amused, but he couldn’t show it. Instead, he said calmly, “a whole night had passed, I wonder how my mutated slime has been doing. Follow me and let’s take a look.”
Jiang Xiaowen nodded eagerly and exclaimed, “With so many first-order monster corpses around, I wonder how much progress it has made! I’m really looking forward to it!”
Xiao Yu led the group to the spot where the monster corpses were piled up, not far from their camp. As they approached within 200 meters, they came across the corpse of a wolf. This wolf was not killed during last night’s battle, and it was still quite a distance from where the monster corpses were piled up. However, there were no visible wounds on the wolf’s body. Instead, blood flowed out of its mouth, nose, ears, and all seven orifices, indicating that it had died suddenly due to a powerful mental attack.
This wolf was a strong elementary level monster, and it was likely drawn by the smell of blood during the night. Unfortunately, it was killed by a mental attack before it could reach its intended target.
As they continued walking, they stumbled upon over a dozen monster corpses along the way, with more than half of them being beginner monsters.
It must have been the mutated slime!
As they arrived at the site where the monster corpses were piled up, a surge of excitement filled Xiao Yu’s mind. He could feel a spiritual connection between him and the mutated slime, and as they drew closer to each other, they could sense each other’s presence. The mental fluctuations of the mutated slime were filled with excitement and joy.
The corpses of various monsters were piled up like a hill, creating a gruesome sight before their eyes.
The corpses of several first-order monsters in the middle were already missing, and the Mutated Slime’s body, like a red gemstone, had expanded several times over, and in its semi-transparent body, one could faintly see a large amount of bone fragments that had not been completely digested.
Mutated slime, first-order trait: physical attack immunity. Skills: 1, mental shock. 2, mental sting. 3, toxic acid spray. 4, water bullet. 5. Transformation: Frost Slime.
It really advanced!
And it had now a total of five skills!
The first three skills are the ones it originally had.
The fourth skill “Water bullet” evolved from the elementary skill “Water Arrow”.
As for the fifth transformation skill, that was something Xiao Yu didn’t know about. “
Mutated slime, transform!”
Xiao Yu commanded it with his mind.
A rush of cold air burst out of the body of the mutated slime, and its red, semi-transparent body underwent a slight change. It slowly differentiated its limbs and head, transforming into a humanoid form about 1.5 meters tall. Its body was smooth, without features, and then a surge of cold air spurted from within. Its gelatinous body instantly solidified, and a thick layer of light blue ice wall appeared on the surface of its body, enveloped in a cold mist.
Frost Slime, first order, skills: 1. Cold breath, 2. Poisonous ice spear, 3. Transformation: Liquid Slime.
The Frost Slime raised its right arm and slowly extended a crystal-clear blade from each hand. The Frost Slime had no arms; these two weapons grew directly from its body. A purplish-red liquid flowed along the smooth blade and dripped off one drop at a time.
Strong!
Very strong!
Xiao Yu’s eyes brightened. He knew that this time he had hit the jackpot. The potential of this slime was truly incredibly strong, and he could foresee that, given time, it would undoubtedly become his most capable and loyal ally.
Han Kexin took out a whip from her storage ring, and with a hard flick, it cracked loudly and extended out, leaving a long mark on the ground. She winked at Xiao Yu and volunteered, “Let me test its strength, shall I?”
Xiao Yu took two steps back and said, “Be careful.”
Jiang Xiaowen looked at Xiao Yu and then at Han Kehin. She pouted her lips, feeling like something had changed between them.
