“I know~”
Kiri Eda reluctantly accepted Su Rui's reprimand, adjusted her skirt, came to Su Rui's side, and leaned her small head on his arm: “So? Did you find anything?”
“There aren’t any particularly powerful evil spirits here, only some ordinary vengeful spirits wandering around.”
Su Rui surveyed his surroundings, golden spiritual energy flashing in his eyes as he scanned the entire building, but he didn't find anything amiss.
“Let’s go check over there.”
Su Rui looked towards another building. This construction site had several tall buildings currently under construction, and it would take a thorough check to be sure.
However, since he was already here, even if there were no actual evil spirits, he couldn't have come for nothing.
As Su Rui headed to the next building, he casually threw out several balls of golden flames. The vengeful spirits floating in the air quickly burned to ashes like a chain reaction, transforming into pure spiritual energy that Su Rui absorbed.
“Your power is a bit too exaggerated, isn’t it?”
Kiri Eda watched the dazzling fireworks of the burning vengeful spirits, a look of surprise flashing in her blue eyes as she once again marveled at Su Rui’s strength. Then, she instinctively gripped his wrist: “Can I be as strong as you in the future?”
“I don’t know.”
Su Rui lowered his head to glance at Kiri Eda, whose golden eyes were becoming increasingly obvious and could no longer be concealed. He said casually that whether she was in her Vampire form or disguised as a human, Kiri Eda’s connection to him was becoming more and more apparent.
It was like some kind of psychic link; Su Rui always felt he could control Kiri Eda to do many things.
Like making her perform a cheerful dance.
As Su Rui's thought flashed, Kiri Eda, who was originally holding his wrist, suddenly couldn't control her body. She bounced to Su Rui's front, did a cat stretch, then bounced again, made a V-sign with her fingers, and showed a vibrant smile.
Then, Kiri Eda, who had come back to her senses, immediately blushed. Her golden-blue eyes stared straight at Su Rui, filled with dissatisfaction and resentment: “Su Rui~ Even if I am your dependent, you shouldn't tease me like this!”
“I just wanted to test it. Sorry.”
Su Rui walked past Kiri Eda, gently ruffled the girl's hair, and then headed towards another building: “I’m getting a bit impatient. Checking building by building is a bit slow. Don’t move around.”
With that, before Kiri Eda could react, Su Rui reached out and directly wrapped his arm around her waist, lifting her up.
Subsequently, golden wings bloomed from his back. Since the workers weren't here anyway, there was no need to worry about being discovered.
Soon, Su Rui arrived at the second building. Finding no abnormalities, he used his spiritual energy to purify the vengeful spirits there into his own spiritual energy, then carried Kiri Eda in his arms and flew to the next location.
“Su Rui, your spiritual energy seems to be getting stronger?”
Kiri Eda, held in Su Rui’s arms, asked with a mix of confusion and delight. Su Rui lowered his head, looked into her eyes, and nodded: “Your connection with me is already so deep that you can feel these things.”
“So, can you give me another drop of your blood?”
“Is there a connection between these?”
Su Rui was momentarily stunned by the somewhat disjointed conversation, but he simply looked down at Kiri Eda, inspected the building, and then continued to the next one.
“Because, that way, my connection with you will deepen, and... since your power is growing, feeding me a few more drops of blood wouldn’t make much of a difference, right?”
As she spoke, Kiri Eda instinctively licked her lips. Su Rui looked down and saw her eyes had turned golden-red. He paused: “You just want to drink my blood, don’t you?”
“After I drink your blood, our connection deepens, doesn’t it? And you can already directly control my body, isn’t that a good thing for you?”
Kiri Eda, whose little scheme had been exposed, huffed, then began to act shamelessly, directly wrapping her arms around Su Rui’s neck: “I don’t care, I want to drink your blood~”
“We’ll talk about it after we get back. I don’t want to get my clothes wet again.”
Su Rui glared at Kiri Eda in exasperation, then tightened his hold on the girl in his arms: “Now, behave yourself, or I’ll leave you here alone.”
“Got it.”
Kiri Eda responded unhappily, then immediately went limp in Su Rui’s arms, curling up against him as if asleep, not moving at all.
Su Rui didn't mind. After checking, he found no abnormalities other than ordinary vengeful spirits. He then quickly flew to the first building they had entered, and walked out holding Kiri Eda in his arms.
“Lord Su Rui, did you find anything?”
Seeing Su Rui appear, Yukinoshita Haruno quickly came before him, asking somewhat eagerly.
“...You said there were evil spirits here before. Do you have any concrete evidence?”
Su Rui looked at Yukinoshita Haruno, not answering her immediately, but instead turned his gaze to the foreman beside him, staring intently into his eyes.
There probably wouldn't be any vengeful spirit issues; it was likely just a malicious tactic of ordinary business competition, but Su Rui still wanted to confirm.
“Yes, it’s like this.”
The foreman, being stared at by Su Rui, wiped the sweat unconsciously trickling down his forehead, trembling as he explained under Su Rui’s powerful aura: “Our workers have recently noticed some building materials and tools moving by themselves. We all saw it; no one touched them, but those things moved on their own. We also confirmed there were no ropes or anything like that on them.”
“Lord Su Rui, could it be that...” Yukinoshita Haruno beside him realized something from Su Rui's question and wanted to ask, but Su Rui spoke first: “I haven't found any evil spirits or vengeful spirits. Moreover, if there really were evil spirits at work, generally speaking, it would be impossible without a few deaths.”
Su Rui’s calm words made both Yukinoshita Haruno and the foreman beside him nervous. Yukinoshita Haruno was fine; looking at the handsome young man in front of her, the pressure in her heart wasn't great. But the foreman of the construction site was already sweating profusely.
Even in front of Su Rui and his boss, Yukinoshita Haruno, the foreman was so nervous that he couldn't help but pull out a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his voice clearly trembling: “Then, Master, what happened here?”
“I said there are no evil spirits here, it won’t affect normal construction.”
Just as Su Rui spoke, he noticed some unusual energy fluctuations.
