Luo Xingquan felt his vision go black, almost fainting on the spot.
"You, how did you get out?"
Luo Xingquan forced himself to stay upright and asked the question.
Chen Xiao continued to smile at him, not saying a word, because Chen Xiao disdained to explain anything to a piece of trash like Luo Xingquan.
"You, what do you want? I'm warning you, don't do anything rash. If you dare to touch me, Commander Song will never let you go."
Luo Xingquan said with a show of bravado, though his voice trembled.
He had no other recourse but to threaten Chen Xiao this way.
"Heh, kill you? If I wanted to kill you, would you still be alive?"
Chen Xiao had no intention of killing Luo Xingquan for the moment. He turned his back to Luo Xingquan, leaving him with a parting statement.
"Come with me!"
With that, Chen Xiao truly walked away.
Luo Xingquan thought for a moment, then dejectedly followed him.
Even though he didn't know what Chen Xiao intended to do, he knew that if he dared to disobey Chen Xiao now, he would face severe consequences.
Chen Xiao walked directly to the second floor and stopped before a room.
Luo Xingquan's eyes narrowed, and he was stunned.
This, wasn't this the vampire's cell? How did Chen Xiao know he was imprisoned in this cell?
Without time to think further, he quickly said, "Mr. Chen, I'll open the cell for you right away..."
However, before he could even take a step, Chen Xiao had already delivered a punch.
The door, which Luo Xingquan claimed could withstand the force of an atomic bomb, was instantly shattered into pieces.
Chen Xiao glanced provocatively at Luo Xingquan, as if to say, you thought this piece of junk could stop me?
Luo Xingquan was dumbfounded. It was only then that he realized he had severely underestimated Chen Xiao's strength...
And even more terrifyingly, perhaps even Song Anbang wouldn't be his match.
Thinking of this, Luo Xingquan felt that he was definitely doomed this time.
This cell was almost identical to the room Chen Xiao had just been in.
A pale-faced, extremely weak young man was slumped in the corner, looking as if he was about to die.
If it wasn't Chi Hao, who else could it be?
As if hearing something, Chi Hao weakly lifted his heavy eyelids.
"Chen, Brother Chen..."
Chi Hao's voice was faint, and there was no excitement on his face. "It seems I'm really going to die this time. I'm already starting to hallucinate."
"..."
Chen Xiao was speechless. "You're not dead yet. Don't worry, I'm here to save you. You won't die!"
"Brother Chen, it, it really is you..."
Chi Hao finally showed a hint of excitement.
It was clear that he desperately wanted to stand up.
But after several attempts, he failed.
"You're too weak, don't move!"
Chen Xiao said calmly, about to infuse Chi Hao with spiritual energy to help him recover.
Just then, Chi Hao suddenly said, "Brother Chen, I'm so hungry. Can you get me something to eat?"
"Hungry?"
Chen Xiao's expression changed, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face. "That's easy. Today, not only will I fill your stomach, but I'll also let you have some meat!"
As he spoke, Chen Xiao's divine sense moved slightly, and Luo Xingquan was uncontrollably thrown to the ground in front of Chi Hao.
"Eat."
Chen Xiao gestured with his chin towards Luo Xingquan's neck.
"Brother Chen, I can't..."
Chi Hao meant to say that he couldn't drink human blood, and he worried that if he started, he would crave it forever.
But when he saw that it was Luo Xingquan lying before him, his eyes immediately turned red.
"It's you!"
With that, he bared his fangs.
"No, don't, don't drink my blood... Ah..."
Luo Xingquan was so terrified he was about to wet himself. Extreme fear had driven him to the brink, bordering on hysteria.
But Chi Hao had sworn that if he could leave this cell alive, he would drain every drop of blood from this perverted old man!
Now, he didn't even need to leave the cell to fulfill that oath.
He bit down, and with a gulp, gulp, gulp...
After a few hearty drinks, Chi Hao felt as if he had opened a new door to the world.
The taste of human blood was indeed different from drinking the blood of other animals; it was so damn delicious!
It was just a little scarce. Before his stomach could even be partially filled, Luo Xingquan had already turned into a dried corpse.
"Not enough?"
Seeing Chi Hao looking unsatisfied, Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask.
"Mmm..."
Chi Hao nodded somewhat shyly. After all, it was his first time drinking human blood, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"No problem!"
Chen Xiao placed his hand on the dried corpse and infused Qingmu spiritual energy into Luo Xingquan's body.
The withered corpse visibly plumped up at a rapid pace.
Luo Xingquan's complexion also changed from sallow to pale, and then back to ruddy.
"Ah—"
Luo Xingquan cried out and woke up, gasping for breath.
He had just had a dream where he died, his blood drained by a vampire.
The sensation had been agonizing, as if his soul had been ripped from his body.
Then he saw Chen Xiao, and then he saw Chi Hao with a blood-stained mouth.
This made him realize that everything that had just happened was not a dream.
And that what had just happened was about to repeat itself...
Meanwhile, Liu Yu muttered worriedly, "Mr. Chen has been gone for so long, why hasn't he returned? Has something happened?"
Chu Qingluan said calmly, "Chen Xiao will naturally be fine. Instead of worrying about him, you should worry more about your own Deputy Commander."
Liu Yu pouted. Worry about him? She wished something would happen to him!
Just then, Xiao Hei, who was nearby, suddenly twitched his nose and frowned, muttering, "What's that smell?"
Chu Qingluan was slightly taken aback. "You can smell it?"
Xiao Hei stared at Chu Qingluan and immediately became vigilant. "You can smell it too?"
Chu Qingluan neither admitted nor denied it. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and asked Xiao Hei, "May I ask who you are? And what is your relationship with Chen Xiao?"
Chu Qingluan could feel that this handsome young man harbored a trace of hostility towards her... She had even suspected at one point that the young man's orientation might be an issue.
That was why she asked Xiao Hei about his relationship with Chen Xiao.
"Chen Xiao is my father!"
Xiao Hei said righteously. "Although my mother hasn't won over my father yet, I see you haven't succeeded either!"
Chu Qingluan: "..."
Considering the young man's age, his mother must be at least forty years old... There was no need to worry.
"I haven't asked you yet, who are you?"
"Don't you already know? You guessed it, I'm your mother's love rival!"
"You woman, how can you insult people?"
"..."
Listening to the two of them bicker back and forth, Liu Yu's head was spinning.
Just then, a loud voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire camp of the Tian Ce Army.
"The Tian Ce Army has achieved a great victory in its expedition! Welcome Commander Song back triumphantly!"
