Chapter 157: Chapter 151 Banquet

The banquet was a necessary part of the gathering and one of the most cherished segments by the sisters, for they were to taste the "Grandmother’s fresh blood" here.

For some sisters, this was indeed the true reason they enthusiastically responded to the gathering.

The banquet was set up in the mansion’s backyard,

seemingly in an open environment, but actually enveloped in a dense fog that was impervious to breeze.

An uncle-corpse had placed a Chinese round table here, only the height of the table was twice that of a normal table, and without any chairs around, it was evident the banquet would be attended standing.

No dishes were served on the round table yet, only seven porcelain bowls, each corresponding to a sister.

The class monitor had been standing in front of her own bowl ever since stepping into the backyard, motionless.

Grandmother had directly killed the companion brought by Hua Yuan, a rarity in the past.

Such a "variable" was one of the worst scenarios, and although she trusted in her own Disguise and that Luo Di could handle it smoothly, she still had some worries.

Suddenly,

two seemingly delicate but actually extremely aggressive hands wrapped around from behind,

a tongue like a live snake directly licked the class monitor’s cheek; despite the barrier of a leather jacket, she could still feel this licking, a strong sense of Invasion that reached directly to her brain.

The comer was none other than Hua Yuan.

"Are you nervous, Isabella? Worried that the man you finally found will be killed by Grandmother?"

"Yes."

"Don’t worry, my dog has already been killed anyway. If your man gets killed too, we could keep each other warm as ’widows’. I’ve even brought some quite special props, how about coming to my room tonight?"

"Okay..."

"Such a good girl, you haven’t changed a bit!"

Hua Yuan gently caressed the class monitor’s head, her tongue slowly retracting from the cheek, then she brought her lips close to her ear, whispering something only the two of them could hear:

"Listen, just in case your companion is not killed, just in case he gains Grandmother’s acceptance.

I’m talking about just in case!

I believe you wouldn’t be stingy, right? You wouldn’t leave your sister lonely, right?"

Hua Yuan’s hand slipped from the back of the class monitor’s head, down the Spine, finally giving a firm touch at the hips before turning and walking away, back to her position.

Time-wise, Grandmother should also be arriving soon.

The class monitor still stood numbly at the same spot,

without any signs of liveliness, dissatisfaction, or Fear and dread, remaining in her original state, quietly waiting.

Softly, the sound of the mansion’s back door opening could be heard, and the sisters no longer conversed but stood straight in front of their respective porcelain bowls.

Amidst the dense fog.

The towering figure under Grandmother’s cap, gradually emerged, walking towards the head of the round table, but a familiar silhouette also appeared beside her.

Furthermore,

that silhouette was somehow connected to Grandmother,

Grandmother exceptionally stretched out her hand from under the cap, holding a rough and strong male hand, their skins touching extensively.

The silhouette beside Grandmother also emerged from the dense fog,

it was Luo Di.

Not only was he not killed, but Grandmother personally led him to the banquet, a sight never seen before.

Previously, those companion sisters who were accepted by Grandmother,

would either come to the banquet area ahead of time,

or walk one by one at the back, only after Grandmother was seated and gave permission could they slowly approach like servants.

There had never been a situation like this—being personally led by Grandmother.

And Luo Di’s treatment was not just about being "led over,"

but holding hands that even the sisters could barely touch—Grandmother’s hand, that very special and deadly hand capable of killing all the sisters.

Even the class monitor was stunned; this scenario had not crossed her mind, unable to comprehend what was happening.

Although she felt Luo Di had a good chance of passing, she did not expect him to arrive at the banquet in such a manner.

Whereas Hua Yuan on the opposite side, her pupils flashed a momentary crimson, meaningfully watching the youth led by Grandmother, seemingly having a special plan in mind already.

As Grandmother arrived at her position, maintaining the handholding stance, she announced publicly:

"Mr. Di has passed my test and is now officially a member of the sisterhood. From now on, he will work together with Isabella to strive for advancement towards the Corner."

Uncle Corpse, go fetch another bowl."

*Mr. Di is Mr. D’s Chinese designation.

A brand new porcelain bowl was fetched by Uncle Corpse, who typically only gives these to the sisters; every new sister receives her own porcelain bowl.

But now, the bowl ended up in Luo Di’s hands, a non-sister male member.

"Mr. Di’s body harbors a remarkable pituitary, and since he is already a member of our sisterhood, he too will have the privilege of dining at the banquet, though his portion will only be 1/5 of everyone else’s.

Alright~ take your bowl and wait over there."

"Thank you, Grandmother."

When Luo Di returned to the squad leader’s side with the porcelain bowl,

apart from Miss Kui, the sisters all looked at him with different expressions.

Everyone had never seen such a situation and were immensely curious about what kind of outstanding performance Luo Di had shown to receive such special treatment from Grandmother.

No sooner had Luo Di returned to the squad leader’s side than smack! His palm was tightly grabbed, and voices transmitted through their limbs.

"You... forget it, let’s talk when we return to the room at night."

Even the squad leader could hardly contain her curiosity, but considering Luo Di could not respond verbally, she had to hold back for the time being.

Next came the most important moment of the banquet.

Grandmother walked clockwise around the round table, and whenever she reached a sister’s back, she would extend her hand, aiming her wrist towards the porcelain bowl on the table.

Next, it was up to the sisters to ’wrist-cut’.

Not just a simple cut, but using their own abilities to slit their wrists to draw blood.

Through this, Grandmother could also evaluate the capabilities of her granddaughters, with particularly outstanding ones perhaps receiving special care at subsequent gatherings or even promotion arrangements.

Naturally, the sisters used various methods, having practiced thousands of times before coming to the gathering.

Whether by cutting, tearing, or breaking.

When it was the squad leader’s turn, her method was different,

she separated a syringe made of bone material from the palm of her hand, inserting it into Grandmother’s vein to draw blood.

"Isabella, you have made great progress this year, and you have also found such a good partner, I am very pleased! Draw an additional 1/5 to share with Mr. Di."

The squad leader, praised by Grandmother, trembled all over, and even felt something flowing out of her body, though it remained unseen due to the rubber clothes.

"...Yes."

After finishing drawing blood, Grandmother didn’t leave but stood behind them watching the process of distributing the blood and actively reminded:

"Mr. Di, since you are not a Pseudo-Person, drinking my blood directly can be very dangerous. There’s no need to drink it, you just need to place your pituitary-implanted palm into the bowl."

"Thank you, Grandmother."

"Savor my warmth."

Once all the sisters had finished their wrist-cutting, Grandmother returned to her position and delivered the final speech of the banquet.

"Very good, you are the best batch in over a decade. Thus, the blood I grant you tonight contains more essence blood, let the banquet begin!"

As soon as she finished speaking,

the sisters, unable to restrain themselves any longer, immediately picked up the porcelain bowls in their hands and drained them in one gulp.

Luo Di also placed his right palm into the bowl.

Despite the limits imposed by the restraint device, the pituitary inside the back of his hand was inexplicably active, bursting through the surface of the hand in a gap, hungrily sucking through this crevice like a mouth.

During the sucking process,

Luo Di could distinctly feel the pituitary growing, and his right hand’s fingers were twisting and turning, even feeling as if some spiritual body fingers were about to emerge externally.

When the sucking ended,

a voice from inside the pituitary was received by Luo Di.

⟪Thank you...⟫

This pituitary, taken from Death Row Inmates, did not resist due to growth; instead, it became more submissive to Luo Di, its master, and it seemed that their synchronization rate had improved somewhat.

The dexterity, precision, and penetrative power of the fingers all increased.

An outline related to the middle finger of the spiritual body also faintly emerged.

Once Luo Di fully adapted to the changes in his hand and shifted his attention back to the tabletop, the scene before him momentarily stunned him, almost revealing his Killing Intent.

The sisters around the round table were dancing gracefully.

Having drunk Grandmother’s blood, they gained a fundamental enhancement, with some individuals’ pituitaries self-activated, completely unleashing their inherent Fear-nature.

Even the squad leader lay on the round table, opening her legs as if giving birth, exhibiting the form of a Reproductive Mother.
