"Do you want to drink my blood?"
As Lin Bai's words fell, Akashiya Moka's eyes widened.
The surprise in her heart was evident on her face.
Although surprised by Lin Bai's offer, a sense of longing stirred within her involuntarily.
Her desire for blood grew stronger.
Her rationality was still trying to suppress this instinctive urge.
This made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Why?"
Akashiya Moka looked at Lin Bai with some confusion.
Letting a Vampire drink his blood.
Based on her understanding of humans, she found it hard to comprehend.
"The reason is simple, I want to be friends with you."
Lin Bai smiled sincerely and explained:
"Although we haven't known each other long, I think you are trustworthy."
"And you look quite uncomfortable right now."
"If drinking some blood can make you feel better, Moka, I think it's perfectly fine."
He paused there.
Then, in a joking tone, he continued: "As long as you don't drain me dry."
"Friends..."
Akashiya Moka stared at Lin Bai blankly, her eyes trembling slightly.
'I want to be friends with you.'
This sentence seemed to echo repeatedly in her ears.
Up until now, she had hidden her identity and completed three full years of middle school in a human school.
Yet, she hadn't made a single true human friend.
Therefore, she had always been alone.
She hated this, and even began to dislike humans in her heart.
She had already decided to return to a school founded by Yokai.
There were two reasons why she didn't reject Lin Bai, who was human.
Firstly, because Lin Bai didn't seem to dislike Yokai.
Secondly, she was influenced by the desire for his blood within her.
Her agreement to walk together earlier was also because she had developed a desire to interact more with Lin Bai.
She hadn't expected Lin Bai to want to be friends with her.
This gave her an indescribable feeling of pleasant surprise.
It even temporarily suppressed her craving for Lin Bai's blood.
At this moment, her emotions were complex.
Various feelings intertwined like a ball of yarn.
For a moment, she didn't know how to react.
She just stared at Lin Bai blankly, her eyes seemingly glowing.
Her lips curved slightly, and a smile, which she herself hadn't noticed, bloomed like a flower on her delicate face.
Taking in Akashiya Moka's changing expression, the smile on Lin Bai's face brightened a few shades.
Their eyes met.
A strange atmosphere quietly permeated the air around them.
"Come on, I don't mind."
Lin Bai smiled slightly, tilted his head to the right, and lightly patted the exposed part of his neck with his left hand.
"Lin Bai..."
Hearing this, Akashiya Moka came back to her senses, and her bright emerald eyes gradually took on a wine-red hue.
Her demeanor subtly changed.
As if she had suddenly become a different person.
Without further ado, she lunged forward, pouncing on Lin Bai and wrapping her arms around his neck.
Lin Bai leaned down slightly.
Akashiya Moka opened her red lips, revealing her slowly lengthening fangs, and bit down without hesitation.
Chirp~~~
Lin Bai's eyes narrowed slightly.
He only felt a slight tickle on his neck, with no pain whatsoever.
He could clearly sense that his spiritual energy-infused blood was being rapidly drawn away by Akashiya Moka.
At the same time, he also saw that many of Akashiya Moka's pink hairs had turned silvery-white.
As if they had been streaked.
"This is..."
This made him narrow his eyes slightly.
Could it be that Akashiya Moka, at this moment, was actually in the unique state of coexisting with both her outer and inner personalities?
It didn't seem quite right.
After about ten seconds.
Akashiya Moka blinked.
Her red-tinged green eyes returned to normal, and her silvery-white hair instantly reverted to pink.
"Ah!"
A gasp sounded.
Akashiya Moka quickly released her hands and took two steps back, her face flushed.
She seemed a bit flustered.
Her gaze flickered, occasionally drifting towards Lin Bai.
When her eyes met Lin Bai's, she felt her heart pounding.
As if a little deer was vigorously bumping around inside.
Lin Bai couldn't help but smile at this, and with his left hand, he touched the spot on his neck where Akashiya Moka had bitten him while drinking his blood.
There wasn't a single mark.
Although about five hundred milliliters of blood had been drawn, Lin Bai didn't feel the slightest discomfort.
Even if another five hundred milliliters were drawn, it would still be fine.
The main thing was that his internal spiritual energy had decreased by about one percent.
However, it would recover quickly.
Suppressing various thoughts in his mind, Lin Bai looked at Akashiya Moka.
He smiled slightly and said:
"Moka, we should be friends now, shouldn't we? After all, you've already drunk my blood."
"Are you serious?"
Akashiya Moka was stunned, looking at Lin Bai with an unusual expression.
She couldn't help but want to confirm.
She felt both happy and uneasy.
"Of course, I'm serious."
Lin Bai nodded.
Then he smiled and added: "If you don't want to be friends with me, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
"No, I do."
Apparently worried that Lin Bai might misunderstand, Akashiya Moka quickly explained:
"I was just a little worried that you would mind my identity."
"I've been in human schools for three years, and other humans simply don't believe that demons actually exist."
"They even reject discussions about demons."
"So that's how it is."
Lin Bai looked enlightened.
He then said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not like other people. I don't mind that you're a demon."
"If I minded, I wouldn't have offered to let you drink my blood."
"So, my first demon friend, please take care of me."
As he spoke, he extended his right hand.
He smiled and looked at Akashiya Moka.
"Please take care of me..."
Akashiya Moka's eyes sparkled with joy, and her smile bloomed like a flower as she extended her soft right hand to grasp Lin Bai's.
She finally had a friend.
And her very first human friend.
Their right hands clasped together, and their eyes met.
Looking at Lin Bai, a subtle emotion quietly began to stir in Akashiya Moka's heart, alongside her joy.
After receiving the prompt from the encyclopedia of everything, the curve of Lin Bai's lips also deepened slightly.
The way to light up the encyclopedia of everything was to establish some kind of relationship with the other party.
Either friendly or hostile.
Establishing a friendly relationship required forming bonds such as friends, lovers, or family with the other party.
Any of these would work.
For example, the most basic friend relationship required both parties to genuinely consider each other as friends.
Once successfully established, the encyclopedia of everything would automatically light up.
As for a hostile relationship...
Simply put, it meant being enemies.
It would automatically be established as long as malice was directed towards Lin Bai.
For targets in a hostile relationship, there were two ways to light up the encyclopedia of everything.
One was to transform the relationship into a friendly one.
The other was to eliminate the other party.
Currently, Lin Bai had established friendly relationships with Satania and Akashiya Moka, easily lighting up the encyclopedia of everything.
He didn't rush to check the encyclopedia of everything.
Lin Bai looked at their still clasped right hands, then at Akashiya Moka, and said with a slight smile,
"Moka, although I don't mind, are you planning to keep holding my hand like this?"
He could feel Akashiya Moka's right hand gently pressing, giving him the feeling that she didn't want to let go...
