In the evening, sensing approaching footsteps, Victor withdrew from his meditation.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Krul standing before him in her maid outfit.
"What's wrong?" Victor asked with confusion.
"I'm hungry."
As if to confirm Krul's words, a growling sound emanated from her flat stomach.
So vampires' stomachs also rumble when they're hungry?
"When was the last time you drank blood?"
Facing Victor's question, Krul was slightly stunned, but still answered, "A week ago."
Vampires didn't need to consume blood as frequently as humans ate three meals a day, otherwise, the humans kept in Sanguinem wouldn't be able to sustain so many vampires.
"Has it been a week since you last consumed blood?"
Although Victor didn't know exactly how often vampires needed to feed, a week seemed about right.
Thinking of this, he formed his hand into a blade-like shape and lightly cut the finger of his other hand.
A wound appeared and blood began flowing from his fingertip.
To prevent the wound from healing too quickly, he deliberately suppressed his powerful regenerative abilities.
"Drink it."
Victor extended his finger toward Krul.
Krul, who had been about to say something, immediately showed an obsessed expression after detecting the unique fragrance of blood in the air.
It was like an alcoholic finally smelling the aroma of wine after centuries of abstinence.
It smells incredible!
Why does his blood smell so wonderful?
Never mind, I'll drink first and ask questions later!
Krul opened her small mouth, took Victor's finger between her lips, and began sucking the warm blood flowing from his fingertip.
As the blood entered her throat, the expression on Krul's face became increasingly intoxicated.
Her sucking speed gradually increased.
But after drinking for a while, she had to stop.
It wasn't because she didn't want to continue drinking.
Rather, Victor's blood contained such powerful energy that she feared she might burst if she consumed any more.
"That's all?"
Victor didn't realize there was immense energy contained within his blood.
He was simply surprised to see that Krul had only consumed such a small amount.
The vampire queen has quite a modest appetite.
No wonder she doesn't grow taller or gain weight.
But her petite size is also part of her charm, I don't dislike it.
Krul licked her lips, and although she appeared unsatisfied, she still nodded.
"Mm."
Hearing this confirmation, Victor shook his hand and the wound healed instantly.
Then he closed his eyes and prepared to resume his meditation.
"I'm hungry."
Krul suddenly spoke again.
"???"
Victor was confused.
"Didn't you just drink my blood?"
Krul tilted her head and said seriously, "That's correct, but blood doesn't fill the stomach."
"You vampires can't satisfy your hunger by drinking blood?"
"That's right, it's common knowledge."
"What common knowledge? Why do vampires drink blood then?"
"Vampires naturally consume blood to satisfy their bloodlust, don't you know that?"
Of course I don't know!
I'm not a vampire!
"So, in addition to drinking blood, you vampires also need to eat normal food like humans?"
"Yes, and by the way, this is also common knowledge."
That's why when Victor had asked her about the last time she drank blood, she had been stunned.
So after all this time, I've shed my blood for nothing.
"Then why didn't you remind me earlier?"
"I wanted to remind you, but your blood smelled so enticing that I couldn't help myself."
"So, what's for dinner tonight?"
Victor jumped off the bed and straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes.
"I'll take you out to eat tonight. We haven't bought any ingredients for the house yet."
"Alright, but I need to change my clothes first."
It was acceptable to wear a maid outfit within the manor, after all, Victor was the only one present.
But she certainly wouldn't want to be dressed like that on the street.
"No need for such trouble." Victor snapped his fingers lightly.
The maid outfit on Krul instantly transformed into a black hooded jacket and ultra-short jeans.
Victor pulled the hood over Krul's head to conceal her pointed ears.
"Perfect! Let's go."
After leaving the manor, Victor brought Krul to the nearest commercial street.
Along the way, Krul observed this strange world with curiosity.
The last time I saw such a bustling street scene was several years ago, before the Apocalypse Virus outbreak.
At that time, humans dominated the earth and were the undisputed rulers of the planet.
During humanity's golden age, even vampires were extremely wary of them.
They possessed powerful technology and special abilities.
It's unfortunate that humans brought about their own destruction.
I wonder if the humans in this world will face the same fate.
Thump.
Just as Krul was lost in thought, Victor, who had been walking ahead of her, suddenly stopped.
Krul bumped directly into him.
"What are you thinking about?"
Krul rubbed her slightly reddened nose and shook her head, "Nothing. Are we there yet?"
"We're here, let's go to this one."
Victor led Krul into a roadside Hunan restaurant with traditional-style decoration.
He had originally considered seeking out Erina Nakiri, but after thinking it over, he decided against it since it was getting late.
An hour later, darkness had fallen.
Victor walked out of the Hunan restaurant with Krul, whose forehead was covered in sweat and whose lips were slightly swollen and red.
"You can't handle spicy food, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Seeing Krul's current state, Victor wanted to laugh.
"I didn't expect the food here to be so spicy." Krul said as she poured milk into her mouth.
As everyone knows, milk is the best remedy for spicy food.
But honestly, although the dishes were spicy, they tasted genuinely delicious.
The main issue was that Krul had always been active in Japan and had grown accustomed to bland Japanese cuisine.
"Aren't we going back?"
Victor didn't walk in the direction they had come from, but continued toward the commercial street.
"Since we finally made it out here, we should go shopping and buy some groceries. Oh, and clothes for you."
The clothes on Krul had all been created by Victor using his spiritual power, but that wasn't a sustainable solution.
In the following period, Victor took Krul around the entire commercial district.
Not only did he buy clothes for Krul, but he also purchased numerous daily necessities.
After all, the Kocho sisters would be moving in tomorrow.
Perhaps more people would relocate here in the future, so such items needed to be prepared in advance.
Time passed quickly, and it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Seeing that it was getting late, Victor decided not to continue shopping and prepared to return home with Krul.
However, just as the two were about to reach the manor, an incident suddenly occurred...
Beep beep!
A shrill whistle suddenly pierced the air.
Victor and Krul instinctively looked back and saw a heavy truck rushing toward a high school girl on the opposite sidewalk at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
When Victor witnessed this scene, he was momentarily stunned, "Is this a portal to another world coming for a discount sale?"
