"D-drink my blood?"

Floriana Sabina was taken aback by Veia's suggestion.

"Mm! You enjoyed it right?"

Veia nodded full of energy.

"I… okay"

Floriana Sabina was about to say no but when she remembered what she felt when Veia once drank her blood, she couldn't help but yearn for it.

"Hehe, here I go."

Veia walked towards Floriana Sabina. Floriana Sabina closed her eyes as Veia held her shoulder as she bit into her neck.

"..Ah! ..mmmM…"

Floriana Sabina moaned as she felt the pleasure of her blood being sucked by a vampire-succubus demon hybrid. Her body felt tingly all over. It was like she was being caressed all over her erogenous zones.

Rant Valo's little brother raised high into the air after he saw that scene. He looked away but was immediately attracted by Floriana Sabina's lewd moans. In the end, he just stared at them as he gulped his saliva.

"What ish dish.. I-it feels better than before…"

Floriana Sabina felt her mind slowly going blank as Veia slowly sucked on her blood. It was something that she has never felt before. Her mind was slowly succumbing to confusion.

"Ahh! …"

Floriana Sabina moaned loudly and covered her mouth. It was embarrassing hearing herself moan like that.

"Puahh! That was tiring… Hahhh hahh"

Veia released her fangs from Floriana Sabina's neck and panted. Sucking Floriana Sabina's blood became tiring after she started moaning more and more.

"..."

Floriana Sabina looked at Veia with a weird gaze on her face. There was a complicated look on her face.

"Is this what you feel after you get your blood drunk?"

Floriana Sabina turned her head to Rant Valo and asked him. It felt so good that she was still confused by what was what.

"Y-yes."

Rant Valo stuttered as he replied. He suddenly felt guilty. It was like he was caught doing something bad.

"I see… it can't be helped huh."

Floriana Sabina pondered to herself and sighed.

"Grandmaster, can I stay nearer to Master now?"

Veia wiped her mouth and asked Floriana Sabina with excitement on her face. She did something that made Floriana Sabina. She expects her to retract her restriction.

"No. In fact, stay 100 meters away from him."

Floriana Sabina flashed a fake smile to Veia. If this was what Rant Valo was feeling whenever his blood was sucked by Veia then it was better she just stayed farther away from him.

"W-why!?"

Veia shouted back in astonishment. It was totally not like what she imagined this to be. She expected her to allow her to be near her master once again, but it turned to something much worse.

"You're corrupting my disciple."

Floriana Sabina's eyebrows were knit together as she looked at Veia.

"I… but that's unfair!"

Veia replied indignantly. Her master was her lifeline. Just being in his presence makes her happy.

"Hmph!"

Floriana Sabina ignored Veia and snorted. She was the master here. No one would be able to defy her.

"Master Floriana, isn't that a bit too harsh?"

Rant Valo furrowed his eyebrows as he asked her. He felt pity for Veia. She was looking like she just had the biggest setback of her life.

"What is?"

Floriana Sabina asked like it was a weird question to ask.

"Why are you putting her far away from me?"

Rant Valo with a confused expression on his face. This was something that was bothering him.

"Think about it, Disciple. Are you still in love with Zaria?"

Floriana Sabina asked Rant Valo seriously. This was something that he should know himself.

"I am."

Rant Valo replied immediately. There was no hesitation in his words.

"Then don't get too close to Veia. She's slowly making you forget about Zaria."

Floriana Sabina explained to Rant Valo. It was something that she noticed. If Rant Valo loses the thing that drives him to cultivate, e.g. returning to the village and marrying Zaria, it would be the biggest blow to his determination. His cultivation might even stagnate.

"I understand."

Rant Valo was not stupid. If she said it so, he could still look back on what had happened these past few days. It was true that he was really getting slowly more attracted to Veia that he was forgetting his initial goal.

Rant Valo closed his eyes and released a deep breath. This time, he won't let Veia's temptations corrode his determination.

"It's good that you understand, Disciple. I'm trusting your words on that."

Floriana Sabina was satisfied with Rant Valo's response. It was what she was looking for. It was a good thing that Rant Valo was able to understand this. If he didn't, it would mean that he has already lost his way.

Floriana Sabina would have no choice but to cripple him after that and to let him at least, live a satisfactory life. As he won't be able to reach greater heights in cultivation anymore.

As a Mana Dominion cultivator, Floriana Sabina does not want to waste her time on grooming a disciple with a doomed future. Although she already became attached to Rant Valo, it was not enough for her to change her mind if that time truly comes.

"I will do my best."

There was a renewed vigor in Rant Valo's eyes. He looked at Veia and closed his eyes and prepared himself mentally.

He walked towards her with heavy footsteps.

"Veia, starting from now, please stay away from me. When you need to drink my blood, you can only drink it in a bowl."

This was Rant Valo's ultimatum. He knows himself. He knew that if Veia tempted him more, he would surely fall to her side.

"M-master!"

Veia panicked when she heard Rant Valo's words. It was like her world fell to ruins. This is a dream. This is not real. Veia tried her best to deny this reality in front of her.

"You're joking, right? Hahaha. I laughed now Master, so please tell me you were just joking."

Veia desperately tried to hold onto the ropes of hope. She couldn't let it end like this. Her plan of marrying her master and living with him forever would be in shambles.
