Chapter 158: Chapter 152: Night Visit

The banquet was over.

Each sister received their own bedroom key from Uncle Zombie, using one night’s time to properly absorb grandmother’s fresh blood.

Even though half of the sisters had already reached the limit of a Pseudo-Person, almost incapable of any further improvement, the fresh blood still provided them with a significant boost, preparing them for the selection and promotion process.

As "having a partner" was a special condition, the monitor was allocated to the [large bedroom] on the third floor.

To be exact, only sisters who obtained partners could stay in the third-floor rooms, while the others were on the second floor.

Most of the time, only Hua Yuan lived here,

but this time was different,

the monitor, holding Luo Di’s hand, climbed the stairs to the third floor, stepping into the large bedroom she had never been to before.

The huge round bed was set in the center of the bedroom,

Special pink candles were placed around the room, waiting to be lit.

There was also an equipped bathroom large enough to accommodate several people, with excellent soundproofing.

And a dressing room stocked with various props and special garments of different types.

The entire large bedroom had only one exit—the door, with windows that appeared to be there but could not be opened, nor allowed anyone to force them open.

Click! The door was closed and locked.

Since there were no chairs in the room, the two could only sit around the soft round bed.

Shzzz~

The zipper at the top of the rubber clothes was swiftly pulled open, stopping completely just at the chest area.

Encased within, the monitor was unbearably hot, sweat covering her skin.

After all, the monitor had been away from the Sisters’ Association for several years, not attending the last two gatherings. Tasting such rich blood after a long separation, her body reacted quite intensely.

Luckily, the monitor had improved her abilities or else she might have exposed her identity due to the intense reactions internally.

"Water... get me a cup of water..."

Just like during the initial school exams, Luo Di poured a cup of water to her lips, one cup after another until nearly two liters were downed before she finally stabilized.

After stabilizing, the deep nourishment from grandmother’s blood came into effect; the pituitary gland in her brain swelled up like a fertilized seed, readying itself for sprouting.

Even the "flesh seams" could be seen vaguely pulsating under the skin of the monitor’s face, as if breathing.

The monitor’s "negative emotions" were thoroughly stimulated, filling her brain.

Colloquially known as being [intoxicated].

She couldn’t help but strip off the rubber clothes, dancing on the round bed, and constantly touching her body, trying to tear off her skin to reveal her true self.

"Grandmother’s blood is still so wonderful! When I go to the Corner Depths and meet her true self, I must personally suck all her blood..."

At that moment,

a set of clothes was draped over her, also pulling her thoughts back to reality.

Luo Di found a set of the most normal sleep robes for her to wear from the dressing room.

The monitor also realized her loss of composure, "I should take a cold shower to cool down my mind. It’s been a long time since I drank grandmother’s blood; my reaction was a bit excessive."

"Hmm."

Luo Di didn’t find anything amiss; after all, the monitor’s nature is that of a Pseudo-Person, and this was a very normal physiological reaction.

Wrapped in a sleep robe, when the monitor reached the bathroom door, the magnified negative emotions in her brain compelled her to look back at the silhouette of Luo Di sitting at the edge of the bed, intending to say something, but reason swallowed the words back down.

With the pouring of extremely cold mountain spring water, her thoughts cooled down, negative emotions gradually dispersed, and her curiosity overflowed immediately.

She was very curious about what Luo Di had done to receive such regard from grandmother. As soon as this thought crossed her mind, she quickly dried her body and stepped out of the bathroom with still-damp feet.

As the bathroom door opened,

the words accumulating at the throat got stuck, for the scene before her had changed since before the shower.

The round bed, which should have been occupied by only Luo Di, was now seated with two people.

Pure white short hair,

a fit figure wrapped in bandages,

the white-haired girl’s arm nearly pressed against Luo Di’s, the two’s muscle profiles surprisingly similar, obviously of the same kind of people.

"Shea, how did you get here?"

The newcomer was Zombie Shea.

As Luo Di’s scrutineer, she initially just recognized Luo Di’s talents in combat, and that was all. In her opinion, Luo Di might be acknowledged by grandmother, but certainly wouldn’t receive such special treatment.

Curiosity filled her heart as well, so she came over as soon as she returned to her room.

After all, Shea and Isabella both belonged to Mingwang City, and their private relationship wasn’t too bad either.

Seeing the monitor coming out of the bathroom, Shea turned her head and cast a pale gaze.

"Don’t worry, I am only interested in combat aspects when it comes to your man.

I am just curious about how he did it, to be recognized despite grandmother having killed the previous Preparatory Partner, even holding hands with grandmother and breaking the rule to drink blood.

If I can’t dispel this curiosity, I won’t be able to focus on my physical training tonight."

The class leader didn’t object; Shea, in her opinion, was a good person, so she wiped her hair and walked over to the bed.

"I also want to know exactly what’s going on, okay~ let’s both listen to the story then.

But, listening to the story comes with a fee! What benefits can you give us, Sister Shea?"

"If Mr. D ever needs to practice fighting skills in the future, I can spar with him once as a training partner."

"Okay, my dear at home does need to toughen up his body."

After hanging the towel, the class leader sat down too.

The two sisters sat on either side of Luo Di, sandwiching him in the middle as they listened to the story on the round bed.

They thought they were about to hear a complicated and fascinating story.

Yet Luo Di finished his story in just three sentences.

Shea looked puzzled, "That’s it... pain? Does Grandmother enjoy this kind of physical pain experience?"

But the class leader froze, obviously realizing the problem. She clearly understood that the pain Luo Di could deliver was anything but ordinary, a kind of suffering learned from Hell’s Torture Room, and possibly something even the Corner Depths might not have experienced before.

Besides, she and her sisters rarely interacted with their grandmother, at most through physical touch and verbal communication.

Their understanding of Grandmother stayed on the surface, knowing only that the better they grew, the happier Grandmother would be. As for Grandmother’s personal preferences, basically no one knew.

"Can you try it on me?"

Shea extended her zombie arm, wanting to experience for herself what Grandmother liked, thinking she might also enjoy it.

Just as Luo Di was about to begin,

Thump~ thump.

A soft but grating knock sounded, interrupting his movement, accompanied by a magnetic voice that invaded from the gap beneath the door, even feeling like a tongue lingering near the ear.

"Isabella, you haven’t gotten to that yet, have you? Open the door quickly, I need to talk to you."

Hua Yuan!

Shea was a person of principle and didn’t want to deal with Hua Yuan, nor did she want to be seen in this place, as it would be difficult to explain later.

But the master bedroom had no other exits,

The only option was the ’bathroom’.

Shea had been very cautious since her arrival here, not leaving a trace of her scent around, a characteristic related to her zombie nature.

After giving the class leader a signaling look, she quickly hid in the bathroom.

Click! The door opened.

Hua Yuan walked into the room in her little leather shoes, looking puzzled at the two of them.

"You really hadn’t started yet? I even waited a while before coming up. I planned to barge in while you were ’in the middle of it’—that would have been interesting.

Since nothing happened yet, then I’ll go first.

Isabella, we agreed on this, right? You wouldn’t secretly tell Grandmother, would you?"

As she spoke, Hua Yuan’s eyes gradually turned blood-red, and she lightly pinched the class leader’s chin with her fingers.

"No... I won’t."

"Good! Don’t worry, after all, this is your partner. I’ll definitely return him to you after I’m done, with no intentions of keeping him for myself.

Maybe an hour, no... two hours should suffice? You can stay in the room and watch, but you mustn’t make a sound or have any contact with us.

If you can’t take it..."

Hua Yuan twisted her fingers on the chin, turning the class leader’s head towards the bathroom.

"Hide in there, but be aware that we’ll be quite loud."

"Mhm."

The class leader had anticipated this and accepted it... she didn’t even glance at Luo Di before turning and walking into the bathroom.

Now only two people were left in front of the round bed.

Hua Yuan sat directly on Luo Di’s lap, hooking his chin, her red lips nearly touching his.

"Don’t be nervous. You must have your unique strengths to get Grandmother’s approval. Up next, make sure to work hard and let me thoroughly feel your ’distinctiveness’.

If we click better than you do with Isabella, both physically and mentally, then I can request Grandmother to change partners.

You’re the first male who has come close to me and remained unfazed... I’m starting to like you more and more."

Hua Yuan’s palm pressed on Luo Di’s abdomen, moving slowly downward, almost reaching the most intimate area, when—

Thump!

A standard knock interrupted everything.

Hua Yuan, frustrated and interrupted at the peak of excitement, let out a fierce invasion aura that instantly filled the entire bedroom.

As far as she was concerned, whichever sister dared to disturb this delightful moment would not be spared.

But as she turned to glare at the bedroom door, she felt something, sweat beading up all over her, swallowing her saliva, retracting her invasive aura back into her body.

"Don’t tell them I’m here! Or I’ll kill you!"

Quickly wiping away any residual scent on Luo Di, ensuring not a single trace was left, Hua Yuan grabbed her leather shoes and dashed into the only available hiding place, the bathroom.
