My first kiss...!

Ram was speechless, completely stunned by Su Mu's closeness. He could only nod dumbly as their eyes met. "What do you want?" he asked cautiously.

Su Mu uncrossed her arms with graceful, deliberate movements. A mischievous glint flickered in her sapphire eyes. "I need to absorb your Life Energy once in a while," she purred, her voice smooth and inviting.

"After all," she leaned in closer, the scent of a delicate flower filling his senses, "there's no such thing as a free lunch, is there?"

Ram swallowed hard, his throat suddenly dry. But when he heard all she wanted was Life Energy, he responded without hesitation, "Okay!" He might lack many things, but Life Energy wasn't one of them.

Seeing him agree so readily, Su Mu sighed. The evil spirit living inside her wasn't exactly evil, but it was super smart, just like a person.

It had made a deal with Su Mu's family 300 years ago to protect them, and it had kept its promise.

Despite this, she urgently needed Life Energy to maintain the Evil Spirit within her. Su Mu was not supposed to make a contract with it at her current level, but circumstances forced her hand.

Normally, she wasn't supposed to be strong enough to handle such a powerful spirit, but things were tough.

Her sister had been kidnapped by the Shadow Society, and internal family conflicts had stymied any rescue efforts.

Angry and desperate, Su Mu stole the family's most powerful spirit and made a deal with it. In exchange for its help in saving her sister, she promised to release it.

Even with the Evil Spirit's cooperation, the strain of maintaining the seal was too great, causing her to overdraft her lifespan.

Then she saw Ram at the enrollment office, and the spirit inside her sensed something special about him.

It detected an unusual amount of vitality and an extraordinary recovery ability, and it also thought of some pretty awful ways to use it.

Su Mu, being a good person from a powerful family, ignored those ideas but saved Ram from getting hit by a truck anyway. 

After that, she didn't expect to meet him again.

She just felt the presence of a Wraith and came here to look for it; as a Soul Reaper, she just wanted to kill the Wraith.

Now, unexpectedly, she had saved him again and also found a solution to her current problem.

She stared at Ram, waiting for him to do something. But Ram just stood there, confused and trying to slow down his racing heart. "What?" he asked hesitantly, not sure what Su Mu wanted.

Su Mu blurted out, "Let's do it now, I need some energy."

Ram sighed, seeing her serious expression. He thought the ghost was back. He nodded and was about to gather some energy in his hand, but Su Mu surprised him.

She stepped right up to him, cupped his face with both hands and kissed him, locking her lips with his.

Ram's brain froze. Before he could even understand what was happening, she was draining his energy through the kiss.

It felt unlike anything he'd ever experienced. It was like his life force was flowing out of him, but in a weird way, it was also kind of nice.

He felt a warmth spreading through him, mingling with a tingling sensation that coursed through every fiber of his body.

He didn't pull away. He had been about to give her energy the normal way, but this felt way better.

There was a deeper connection, something more intimate. He wrapped his arms around her, feeling her soft body and perfect curves.

Su Mu's eyes fluttered closed as she absorbed the energy, her grip on his head tightening slightly.

She could feel the raw Life Energy flowing into her, replenishing her depleted reserves, sending strange pleasure all over her body.

The Evil Spirit within her stirred, its presence becoming more stable and less restless.

The drain on her lifespan eased, and for the first time in weeks, she felt a sense of relief and exited.

After a few moments, she reluctantly pulled away, her breath coming in soft pants. Her cheeks were flushed, and a light sheen of sweat glistened on her forehead.

She looked into Ram's eyes, her expression a mix of gratitude and something deeper, something she couldn't quite name.

She didn't want to try this method, but the evil spirit inside her told Su Mu that this was the only method she knew of to absorb Life Energy.

"Thank you," she whispered, barely audible. "I feel... so much better now. Ahh, that was my first kiss...!"

Ram still trying to process the kiss and the strange but pleasant sensation of having his Life Energy drawn out, didn't hear clearly what she said, but this was also his first kiss since he was reborn.

"Anytime," he managed to say, his voice a bit shaky. "If you need more, just let me know." he looked at his attribute panel and found that she only absorbed about 40% of his total health, just enough to not cause any damage to his body.

However, if she knew he intended to infuse her with 200 to 300 points, but didn't because he wanted to continue kissing her, how frustrated she would become.

Su Mu smiled a genuine smile that reached her eyes. "I will," she promised. Then, stepping back, she added, "You need to be careful. Extracting Life energy often might cause damage to your body."

"Hahaa,..." Ram laughed, not taking the words seriously, with recovery talent he was not even worried about severed limbs, recovering the extracted life energy is as easy as waiting 30 minutes or simply replenishing the excess Life energy. "Got it," he said. "I'll follow your lead." 

He felt slightly drained, but he was used to having his life energy drained even before his awakening, now it's even easier to handle, he didn't even use the excess Life energy to fill immediately so as not to look abnormal in front of her.

With that, Su Mu turned and began to walk away, her movements still graceful but with a newfound strength.

Ram watched her go, feeling a strange mix of emotions. Looking at her attribute panel again, her life span increased slightly from 23 to 24 years.

After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned back and asked softly, this time her voice was not cold like talking to a stranger anymore, but pleasant to hear "Where to go, I will follow you for now."

He was slightly taken aback, but a thought struck him suddenly, "Yes, you are my personal bodyguard and should follow me all the time."

Creation is hard, cheer me up with power stones!!
