Let's work together

As Nero continued to relive the death of his family, Sarah watched him tremble and scream in pain over and over.

She didn't know what to do. There have never been reports of people surviving the 'Dark Soul Stone.' The 'stone' rarely accepted the transmutation of heart. And when it was a success, no matter how strong are the cultivators, they might die in agony.

Sarah took the 'black soul stone' from the Golden Palace's treasure so that no one of her people would try to use it. Many wanted to increase their strength, and one of the four Cursed Relics was tempting.

But she never thought that she would use it. Legends tell that the 'Dark Soul Stone' enters the place of the heart and targets the cultivator. It is a cursed existence that goes against the laws of life and prevents the host from absorbing the Qi of nature.

When Sarah saw that Nero's body could draw blood from others to feed his vitality, she wanted to believe that if 'Dark Soul Stone' accepted him, then he could suck the cultivation out of others and thus grow stronger, even faster than cultivators who take Qi from nature.

"My father would be ashamed of me"

Sarah can't stop thinking like that. She, a dragon princess, was totally against the dark arts.

Sarah's father was the 'Golden King Dragon,' her family ruled the 'Golden Palace' in the Northern Endless Divine Kingdom. The Dragons were peaceful and lived much longer than other races, always seeking knowledge, saw many empires grow and fall.

Sarah was thinking of her family when she felt Nero stop shaking. She was anxious that Nero finishes absorbing the 'Dark Soul Stone' soon. Her body didn't have much more time.

In those few hours on earth, it was like years for Nero. 'Dark Soul Stone' had to amplify all the hatred and suffering of the host. To survive, he would have to be ruthless. Only a road of massacre and terror would be ahead of him.

Two hours later, 'Dark Soul Stone' changed Nero's whole soul. He believed that only by killing humans could he honor his family. It can be said that the 'stone' found the young vampire's body cozy.

An existence that sucks the lives of others, this is the fate of the 'Dark Soul Stone,' and this is the fate of a vampire. Soon they merged utterly, and if Nero died now, one of the four 'Cursed Relics' would be destroyed. No one would believe that, for the strongest existences in history have ever tried to destroy all nine legendary relics, even the five holy ones, and no one has ever succeeded.

Now that Nero and the stone were one, a place was created within his body. It was his Dantian, every living creatures have it, but only those who enter the world of cultivation can awaken and use their Dantians to store Qi and use to fight and reach higher heights than any ordinary person can dream of.

Nero woke up, feeling a considerable weakness, could not move his legs. His whole body hurt, his fangs even more. It looked like he didn't drink blood for months. That was the side effect of waking up your Dantian without any Qi.

Ordinary 'Cultivators' meditated for weeks with the help of herbs and pills to awaken their Dantian. But 'Dark soul Stone' had nowhere to get Qi from, especially here on Earth, which is a low-level world, so much far from the center of the universe.

Nero realized that he was on top of something soft. He squeezed with his hand as he tried to clear his vision. He soon realized that he was squeezing one of the twin peaks of the beautiful exotic woman who gave him this new heart.

"Sarah... she said would be weak, and I would have to suck all her blood and allow her soul to enter my body."

Nero wondered if it would be a good idea to let someone into his body. But he could not come back with his word if she said that they were both in the same body should not have problems.

"I told you to suck my blood, not to touch my body, you perverted!"

Sarah wanted to hit Nero until he regretted harassing her body. But she was fragile from burning her Spirit Qi.

"Vampires have an intense sexual desire, but that was not my intention, not at this moment where I can only think of blood!!"

Nero wanted blood so much that he was losing control of his body, which led him to continue clutching Sarah's fluffy.

When he talked about his bloodlust, along with the memory of her asking him to suck her all over, he couldn't hold back and get too excited. When a vampire sucks blood straight from the victim's body, his emotions intensify. He soon becomes excited as if it is a battle, and he is sucking his enemy. In that case, he will become more violent and want more blood and will attack with increasing intensity and energy.

When a woman offers her blood to a vampire, he is also excited and more energetic for another kind of battle.

"Can... I?" Nero, who could only move his upper body, brought his face close to Sarah's.

His heavy breathing, slow movements, eyes fixed on hers. He was holding back since such a beautiful woman asking him to suck her all was like an aphrodisiac to him. In times past, he would have attacked her mercilessly, but now it was no joke. Both Nero and Sarah were in a terrible state, and he needed blood.

"W-hat do you meee-an???

Sarah seeing Nero's face approaching, can no longer restrain fear that he would take her right here. She never brought any man to her eyes, she was very proud of her strength and beauty superior to all, and no one was worthy of her.

But even she the 'Dragon Princess,' cannot contain herself the first time she saw Nero and his beauty of godly level. Just when she saw him carefully, she thought that in a different world where their families didn't die, she would be very proud and happy to be his wife.

Then she blushed and was embarrassed to think about it at such a critical moment for both of them. But Nero was quick and explained the situation before Sarah died of shame.

"Drinking your blood. Can I even drink it all? It would not destroy your body???

"I'm poisoned, this poison runs all over my body and destroy my cultivation, now there is almost nothing left, I would soon die, but as you became one with the 'Dark soul Stone' you must be able to absorb souls, don't devour my soul and let me be free inside your heart."

Nero was saddened when he saw Sarah's sad eyes as she talked about the poison. He felt strange for caring for her, who was a stranger. Nero always only loved the family, and no matter how nice all people treated him, he never felt affection for others but his family.

Nero didn't know, but when Sarah burned her Spirit Qi to help build his new heart, she let that Qi mark all over Nero's body. Share Spirit Qi is a taboo, but many lovers in history have done it because the person who received this Qi will always have the best feelings for the one who gave their own Spirit Qi to save the other.

Now Nero's whole body instinctively trusts Sarah. She would never talk about that to him. Sarah has always been a very proud Dragon. But she knows he couldn't help but sympathize with her, and it makes her feel cheating to get his help in her revenge. But it was the only way to make sure that 'Dark Soul Stone' didn't control his mind.

Sarah has sworn to herself always to treat Nero with all her dedication so they can avenge their families,, and one day has some peace.

Looking at Sarah's beautiful face, Nero was impressed, and he could not believe how he felt so much affection for her now. He thought it might be because she was so cute blushing. Whatever she will give him all the blood, and live in his heart, so there's no way to be more intimate than that.

Nero stopped thinking so much since time was something they didn't have now. He opened his mouth to reveal those white fangs growing with excitement as he approached Sarah's beautiful little neck.

Sarah thought it would be disgusting and painful to have her blood sucked. She braced herself with all determination. She closed the eyes and thought about the revenge on those who killed her father. And she waited for the pain. The pain never came but a warm sensation. She looked at her neck, where Nero gently kissed her skin.

"Uhm~~mm...uh...W-what you...ahhh..."

Sarah could not contain herself but began to moan when Nero kissed and licked her neck with such affection. She wanted to know why he didn't suck her right now. When she had the strength to ask Nero, he bit, and she felt like she was floating out of her own body.

Sarah, for a while, forgot everything. Her brain went blank, and she felt like a pleasure that she never thought was possible. But it wasn't Nero's fault, and he didn't know that when a vampire sucks a much-loved person, they release subsistence that dramatically enhances their partner's pleasure.

Nero always had unloving relationships with his female partners and never sucked on his beloved family members. He didn't know it was Sarah's Spirit Qi fault that she was already so important to him. So also he drank the best blood he had ever tasted.

The blood was so good for Nero for two reasons: First, he had an eternal connection with Sarah, and second, she was a cultivator. Nero was unknowingly sucking the last of the remaining Cultivation in Sarah's body. He was filling his empty Dantian with this Qi.

Nero was amazed by the sense of power flowing from Sara's body to him. He felt the whole body getting stronger, his vision improving, he could hear birds over two miles away. His Dantian was filling up so fast with Qi, Nero already felt it was full, and the more he sucked, it seemed like it was going to explode.

Soon Nero's Dantian broke the first barrier of 'Qi Refinement,' the first kingdom of cultivation. His Dantian had grown over and over, and that amount of Qi, formerly too much. Now only filled a small part of the bottom.

Nero was in the first layer of the Qi Refinement. But he kept sucking on Sarah's delicious blood. His Dantian began to refill, even very fast. It could be seen that it had a bit slower compared to the first seconds.

Soon Nero broke another barrier and went to the second layer of Qi Refinement. The sense of power was several times greater. The more blood Nero sucked, the more excited he became.

But then the absorbing speed of Qi slowed a lot until it stops. Of course, with each layer of a Realm, it is often harder to pass. And for other Realms, it's hundreds and thousands of times harder than the previous ones. A cultivator's life is full of hardness and hard work. But for Nero, who is a vampire, it will only be full of blood and victims.

Nero could feel Sarah's blood running out. Sarah felt no pain, just the sweetness of Nero's touch. At some point, he didn't even realize that Sarah hugged his head with her arms tightly; she didn't want him to stop to suck since she never felt such great pleasure.

But Nero knew they had to focus now. He pulled out his fangs from Sarah's neck and licked the two tooth marks so as not to let any of that wonderful blood leak.

Sarah felt every action of Nero, and she saw how he treated her like his most precious lover. His every move was full of affection and care. She wanted to stop in time and live this moment forever. But life was not that sweetness that they could caress as long as they wanted. She knew she would soon have no more body, and only her soul would live inside Nero.

As Sarah lost herself in thought, she felt another of her first feelings in life. She felt an enormous heat on her lips, that soft texture of Nero's lips pressing against her own.

Sarah wanted to say something. But when she tried to open her mouth, Nero's tongue invaded her smallmouth and began to explore as if it were his new summer home. Every soft, warm movement that she could not contain herself and her tongue soon warred with his. A war she didn't care about if it lasted for years. So why to breathe? When that feeling was the best, she wanted that sweet taste in her mouth forever.

Nero was not so different from Sarah. He felt a whirlwind of feelings: Fury, anger, sadness. Then Sarah brought new feelings for him, such as affection, hope, fear. He wanted to protect Sarah from all evil and feared something would happen to her.

But wasn't it going to happen? She would lose her body and reside within his own heart. Well, if she can get in, there must be a way for her to get a new body one day? Nero didn't want to think much now. All he can do is do his best for Sarah.

"Sarah, let's work together from now on and fight against everyone in our way."

Nero broke their kiss to make another promise with Sarah. One he wants to do on his own. Maybe a little bit influenced by Sarah's Spirit Qi. But that cannot be helped.

Sarah, who no longer cared how her influence is on Nero's actions. She gladly accepted that promise as he drank the spittle that bound their lips and added her own words to the promise.

"Yes, Nero... let's work together now and forever."
