"I say... can we sit down and talk?"

"Food shouldn't talk~"

"Honey, hush."

After being unanimously rejected by the monsters, I felt that I didn't even need a gun anymore.

"Sigh... Medusa has turned into a fool now~"

"What use does a creature like humans have, other than being food?"

"Do you still believe in this man's love? Hahaha~"

"I fought humans for seven hundred years, and now I'm the only one left. Yet, you say this human is your husband?"

"Today, you two have done so many rude things. Shouldn't you compensate me?"

I guess those two words mean compensation, but I can't control anything now. I simply sit on the ground and hold little Ao in my arms, listening to the verbal battle between the women.

"Hmph, do you understand anything?"

"My husband is not a human."

Hey hey, why am I not a human again? You can argue all you want, just don't insult me.

"Huh? Medusa, are you really that dumb?"

"That guy isn't a human?!"

My wife is not dumb at all! You're the idiot who came in and challenged us without reason!

"Well... he is a human, but different."

"He loves me, he loves me very much."

Hmm~ I love hearing that. I love my wife dearly~

"Really?"

"Mister human over there~ I heard... you love this Medusa, is it true?"

I really hate being provoked, especially by women, and especially when it comes to questioning my loyalty to my loved one. What do you, a vampire who spends all day in the basement, know? Do you know how difficult it was for us to come this far? Do you know what kind of determination I had to have to hold her hand?

"Of course, I love my wife."

"Who is your wife, huh?"

The vampire with triangular teeth really pissed me off, but I couldn't show my anger.

"My wife, is this beautiful Medusa here~"

I hug my beloved wife from behind, and we share a passionate French kiss in front of the vampire, even though I have no idea what a French kiss is. It's just a lot of kissing.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Hearing the sound of the vampire's world view collapsing is simply delightful.

"You're human, right? You're a human, right?"

"Of course, I'm a human~"

"..."

The vampire covers her face, looking like she's thinking, "Is this guy out of his mind?"

Now we can move on to the next topic. Can you let the two of us sleep peacefully tonight, since we still have a long journey tomorrow? I'm sure you won't leave, and I can give you some money or whatever you want, of course, it would be best if you let us go without asking for anything.

But the vampire clearly doesn't think so. The golden-haired girl, who has regained her proud image, makes a demand.

She wants a bit of my blood.

Damn, this is a request I don't want to agree to. Besides, I've been smoking for 6 years, and I don't know how many years I've been drinking. My blood must be dirty and not tasty. The blood of those young people who have just come of age must definitely taste better than mine.

"Wife, what should we do?"

"..."

My wife shrugs and sticks the machete into the ground. She holds a bow in her left hand and pulls back three arrows, while her right hand rests on another arrow. It seems like she's ready for a fight...

"Wife, it's just a bit of blood, it's okay, don't fight..."

Actually, at this moment, it's not that I value peace and harmony, but I'm worried about whether my wife can overcome the opponent at a very small cost. But judging from the previous attacks, it's almost impossible to win easily. Although Medusa relies on her powerful petrification magic and is skilled in both long-range and close combat, completely unafraid of this vampire, the outcome is still unknown without knowing the opponent's weaknesses and magic. So, I decided to sacrifice myself a little and not let my wife wield any weapons.

"It's very dangerous!"

"With you here, I'm not afraid."

In the end, my wife compromised. I know how risky this move is, but seeing my dearest person bleeding for me, I'd rather let myself bleed for my dearest person.

After a three-way negotiation, it was finally decided that I would cut my forearm and the vampire big sis would catch the blood with her mouth, while my wife aimed her arrows at the vampire to ensure that she wouldn't suddenly bite me.

"Will you hurt me?"

Although I didn't know what the point of asking that was, I still asked.

"Of course not. Although I am a monster, I am not a fraud."

The vampire's smile, full of sharp teeth, couldn't make me feel reassured at all.

I was extremely reluctant to cut my own arm with a knife. It felt like being forced to pay tolls in a bandit's territory. It solved the problem, but it didn't make me feel good.

The vampire sister tidied up her soft golden hair and knelt beneath my arm like an animal, opening her mouth wide, waiting for what seemed to her to be the most delectable blood.

My wife, on the other hand, stood a step away, drawing her bow and aiming at the vampire's head.

"Huh..."

Cutting a few centimeters on my body with a knife was quite painful because all my focus was on the wound, intensifying the pain many times over.

"Ha... ah~~"

Blood started dripping into that terrifying mouth, and the woman made a satisfied sound.

...

Then the problem came, after a dozen seconds, the blood stopped flowing...

Could it be that I had a special physique? Can I stop bleeding quickly? No, no, no, in a dozen seconds, with such a small cut, there couldn't be that much blood coming out. Although I really wanted it to end there, the vampire was obviously dissatisfied. Licking her lips, she slowly reached out to grab my arm. My wife immediately held her head at arrowpoint.

"It's okay, wife."

Signaling my wife not to worry, I made a bold decision.

"I'll trust you once, for ten seconds."

I took out my pocket watch and waved it in front of her. I thought that such an advanced monster like a vampire should have a sense of time.

"Hmm!"

The woman obviously swallowed the blood in her mouth and nodded eagerly, like a dog yearning for dog food.

"Let's get started."

The warm mouth pressed against the wound, and although the sharp teeth didn't bite down, the needle-like sensation was still very apparent. The rate of blood loss was extremely fast, and there might be anticoagulants in the monster's saliva! Ten seconds might be too long! For this creature that drinks blood like water, five seconds will do!

The most dangerous ten seconds passed, and because of my experience donating blood, my body told me that I had lost at least a hundred milliliters of blood. The woman released my arm, her face flushed, as if she had experienced the happiest moment of her life.

To blush after drinking blood, there's really no one like her.

And after being sucked by a vampire, I didn't turn into a vampire myself, it seems that vampires in this world are not contagious. She had mentioned before that she had fought for seven hundred years and was the last one left, indicating that vampires might also need a reproduction method similar to humans, right? In a sense, she had it pretty tough.

"Here."

The vampire tossed a white handkerchief to my wife, meaning to help me bandage the wound.

"I didn't deceive you, did I?"

The woman wiped the corner of her mouth with her fingertip and said to me.

"Ah... no."

"Oh, right. Your blood, it's really, very delicious~"

"Heh, I really don't want to hear that..."

I chuckled and complained. With the help of my wife, we wrapped up the wound and moved my arm a bit to make the blood-deprived area feel better.

"Do you want to stay here?"

The alluring jewelry on the beautiful vampire's body sparkled under the lantern light, but I really didn't know what was tempting about this guy.

"Heh, forget it."

I pointed to my own teeth, meaning, "Look at how your teeth are like saw blades." Even though my wife also had sharp teeth, at least she had incisors. Your incisors are triangular, and when you smile, you look like a ghost from a horror movie.

Holding my wife in my arms, I watched the golden-haired vampire slowly walk back to the small palace, followed by those winged humanoid monsters.

"Hey, what's your name?"

I suddenly remembered that I should ask the name of this advanced creature.

"Heh, forget it."

The ethereal female voice sounded again, and the forest returned to silence.

I threw the bodies of the two monsters on the ground and in a tree a bit further away from the tent. Finally, I could sleep peacefully, and my wife yawned and packed up the bow and axe. Maybe it was because of blood loss, but my eyelids were fighting, so I held on, carried Xiao Ao back into the tent, and fell asleep without knowing whether my wife came in or not.

The next morning, when I woke up, I realized that I had fallen asleep with Xiao Ao as my pillow, with my hair wet and sticky.

"Sigh..."

The small palace under the sunlight was quiet and calm. Everything from last night seemed like a dream, except for the wound on my arm that reminded me of the existence of a very strange vampire in this world. Unfortunately, the name of this creature could probably only be recorded as "the golden-haired beauty vampire".
