Chapter 38: Fang Cheng’s Rejected Feelings

As a virgin, Fang Cheng’s final demand before dying was merely to touch a charm, without any other outrageous ideas.

This proved it was just a harmless yet pitifully humble little request.

Kanzaki Rin nodded tearfully, then grabbed the specially elongated silver sword and forcefully stabbed toward Fang Cheng’s chest.

Fang Cheng dodged sideways in panic, rolling away to create distance. “Damn! You woman got no conscience? Just finished beating the boss and now killing your teammate?”

Kanzaki Rin aimed her sword at him, furious. “You think this joke’s funny? Want to touch my charm? Why don’t you die?!”

She’d truly believed Fang Cheng was dying earlier, only to get fooled by this bastard and become his laughingstock.

Fang Cheng dusted himself off. “Just lightening the atmosphere! What’s wrong with touching charms? Don’t they exist to be touched?”

Kanzaki Rin found herself speechless against this guy’s warped reasoning.

Fang Cheng added, “At least I asked politely. Unlike when you dragged me into labor without asking last time. I didn’t complain then – not that I’d agree even if you asked. Men care about chastity too…”

He stopped talking as Kanzaki Rin’s gaze turned murderously cold. Continuing might make her stab him again.

Having just cooperated to defeat the boss, more infighting seemed unwise.

Fang Cheng approached Heishi Youto’s corpse, plunging his hand into the chest cavity to grasp the heart.

Nothing mattered more than looting corpses. Fang Cheng had followed Kanzaki Rin all this way precisely for this.

Upon contact, warmth surged through his fingers.

Fang Cheng realized previous heart-touching attempts failed – apparently needing to kill targets first. He wondered if personal execution was required.

Text appeared in his vision:

[Energy absorption…]

[Life+1]

[Short-distance dash+1]

[Steel Blood+1]

[Life Fragment(1/3)+1]

[Crazed Blood(Fragment1/5)+2]

Shock turned to elation. Heishi Youto, the vampire who’d consumed his kind, gave far better harvest than Yagawa Ryouka.

Yagawa Ryouka’s heart only granted complete ‘Advanced Smell’ ability plus useless fragments. Heishi Youto’s offered two complete abilities, one life restoration, one Life Fragment, and two Crazed Blood fragments.

Earlier, Fang Cheng had let Kanzaki Rin stab his heart to kill Heishi Youto, reducing his lives counter to 1. Now it reset to 2 – two Life Fragments meant one more would create another life.

Most crucial was Steel Blood. The red crystals that tortured them both now flowed in Fang Cheng’s veins as instinctive knowledge.

Kanzaki Rin watched Fang Cheng touch Heishi Youto’s corpse with visible delight, making her frown.

She now felt certain Fang Cheng could survive without drinking blood or eating his own kind.

But did he have some weird obsession with corpses? Why did he always look thrilled when handling dead bodies?

Luckily, Fang Cheng soon withdrew his hand from the corpse. If he’d kept groping it, she might’ve dragged him to see a Doctor.

“You really aren’t scared of silver weapons.”

Kanzaki Rin glanced at Fang Cheng’s chest. The fatal wound had fully healed, leaving smooth skin without any scars.

She looked down at the silver sword in hand.

After struggling with her short dagger against Yagawa Ryouka, she’d specially ordered this longer blade. It had been blessed by a Countermeasures Department Onmyoji and soaked in holy water by a priest.

It worked well—it took out Heishi Youto, the vampire who’d devoured his own kind, in one hit.

But Fang Cheng remained completely unaffected.

“Guess I’ve got strong immunity to silver.”

Fang Cheng tossed out an excuse. He’d considered claiming to be a superpowered individual instead of a vampire.

But after reading Kanzaki Rin’s documents, he abandoned that idea. Pretending to be a vampire felt safer.

This world’s natural superpowered individuals could barely move paper scraps. All government-trained ability users—including Kanzaki Rin—had detailed records.

An unregistered immortal like him would become thousands of times more valuable than any vampire.

He wasn’t scared of dissection, but the Area 11 Government would definitely restrict his freedom.

Better to stay “vampire”—even if exposed, nobody would care much.

Kanzaki Rin didn’t push when Fang Cheng avoided the truth. Their cooperation kept improving, and she wouldn’t jeopardize it.

Their teamwork clearly worked—this was their second vampire kill.

Neither could’ve beaten Heishi Youto alone.

Kanzaki Rin finally relaxed, a faint smile appearing.

She imagined achievement awards coming her way.

Then her face stiffened—the shredded car and broken rapid condensation device came into view.

“I’m paying for this.”

She groaned.

Fang Cheng asked, “Didn’t you buy these?”

“Money can’t buy everything!” She glared.

The laser device alone was military-grade hardware. She’d only borrowed them from the Countermeasures Department thanks to her Yagawa Ryouka mission credit.

At least only one machine broke. Total destruction would’ve bankrupted her.

Fang Cheng waved airily. “Money comes and goes. You can’t take it with you when you die. We’re alive—that’s what matters.”

“Then help pay!”

Fang Cheng nodded seriously. “Okay!”

Kanzaki Rin blinked. Since when did this cheapskate open his wallet?

He fished out a crumpled five jiao coin from his torn pocket. “My daily food money. Use it wisely.”

She crushed the coin and threw it back. “Screw you!”

Crouching head in hands, she moaned: “Why did I expect anything from this bastard?”

Her head throbbed. They’d won the fight, so why did she feel gut-punched?

Fang Cheng pocketed the coin. “Tired? Need a piggyback?”

“No!”

“Then carry me. I’m exhausted.”

He flopped against her.
