AST 1771 - Vampiric Empress, a Sacred Demoness?

The Vampiric Queen stood in front of Qing Shui and looked at the man. All of a sudden, she got a bit nervous. This was her first time feeding on a man’s Blood Essence. Actually, prior to this, she has always been feeding on the Blood Essence of Spiritual Beasts. She herself also possessed quite a few Spiritual Beasts and that’s how she basically fulfill her needs for food.

She had the impression that normal demonic beasts and humans were often dirty and so she was reluctant to feed on them. The only exception was the man in front of her… She found him different, he was very powerful and furthermore, she found his blood extremely attractive.

When she came up close, the fragrance became even more intense, causing Qing Shui to feel an urge to nip on her. However, he soon dismissed his intention to do. He continued to look at the beautiful woman who was currently in front of him.

She was the Vampiric Queen!

When the two’s eyes met, the Vampiric Queen felt a sudden, uncontrollable throb in her heart. She also didn’t know why. She quickly lowered her head and said gently, “I am about to start now……”

“Alright then… Be gentle with it.” Qing Shui said in an awkward tone.

The Vampiric Queen actually revealed a smile….. She couldn’t help but laugh because of what Qing Shui said. After that, she nodded, “It won’t hurt.”

When the Vampiric Queen finished speaking, she gently put her lips on Qing Shui’s neck. The gentle yet moist feeling made Qing Shui trembled. It felt very unusual. Qing Shui felt aroused from it.

After that, Qing Shui felt as if he was stung by a needle. Soon after, he could sense a drop of his Blood Essence shooting out of his neck. The Vampiric Queen then opened her mouth and took two steps backward. Her face looked red.

Qing Shui touched his neck which hadn’t been inflicted with any wounds, before settling his sight on the woman. He was surprised to notice a layer of a faint red light substance appearing around the woman.

“Qing Shui! She managed to break through!” At this moment, Muyun Qingge approached Qing Shui and said gently.

Qing Shui hasn’t had the slightest clue and curiously looked at the Vampiric Queen. Following on, a scene, which put him in even more disbelief showed up. A bloody-red colored crown had actually appeared on the Vampiric Queen’s head!

Vampiric Empress!

She had actually transformed into the Vampiric Empress. Qing Shui was frozen in shock, so was Muyun Qingge. Even the current Vampiric Empress was also looking at Qing Shui with a strange look.

Actually, an hour had already passed. Most of the time was spent to observe the change taking place in the Vampiric Empress’ body. Actually, Qing Shui had planned to leave while the change was taking place. But then he remembered Muyun Qingge said that the Vampiric Empress was about to break through.

Hence, he decided to stay behind. Before this, when Muyun Qingge said that the Vampiric Empress was about to break through, she didn’t mean for it to level up to the Emperor level. She was just trying to say that the Vampiric Empress was going to break through from her current strength.

But she never expected for it to be all the way up to the Emperor level. Evolving from a Vampiric Queen all the way up to a Vampiric Empress could be considered as reaching the heaven in a single bound.

The Vampiric Queen wasn’t a significant existence in the Vampiric Tribe. There would be at least one of them in each area. And the Vampiric Tribe was divided up into many areas. The Vampiric Empress, on the other hand, was a different case. It’s like the difference between a kingdom and an empire. An empire was equivalent to at least ten, or even hundreds of kingdoms. The difference was very significant.

Since she was now the Vampiric Empress, there would definitely be a lot of Vampiric Queens from different areas coming here to pay their respect to her. This was the difference pure strength could make.

What Qing Shui, Muyun Qingge as well as the Vampiric Empress were concerned about, was that if she evolved to the Vampiric Empress with the help of the Blood Essence, that would mean that she would be pregnant. Furthermore, the offspring she gave birth to, would certainly be a Vampiric Empress.

Following this logic, it should be a good thing to the Vampiric Empress. But she didn’t seem ready for it…..

For the time being, even Qing Shui didn’t know what he should do. And before this, he was still concerned if the Vampiric Queen would give birth to her next generation using his Blood Essence. He could tell that she didn’t have such intentions, but for many things, God's plans tend to supersede our own.

Muyun Qingge had a very strange look on her face. Nevertheless, she remained silent.

“The things here are done. I think it’s time for you to leave.” The Vampiric Empress who came back to her senses said gently.

The aura of the current Vampiric Empress was stronger than ever before. The pressure she was exerting now was many times stronger than how it used to be. She turned around but tried to avoid eye contact with Qing Shui, as even she didn’t know what she should do now.

Qing Shui extended his hand and rubbed his Tai Yang Acupoint. He then said to Muyun Qingge, “Let’s go!”

“Alright!” Muyun Qingge responded.

Muyun Qingge actually wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back. Qing Shui was feeling very upset. In ancient times, the Vampiric Demoness was also a Demon King Tribe. It’s a being that stood equal to the Battle God.

After moving about two steps, Qing Shui turned around and looked at the Vampiric Empress, “If possible, please stop sending your people to the Sacred Mountain to suck human’s blood.”

“I promise. But it’s only limited to the Sacred Mountain. Also, you will be the first, and also the last man whom I take the Blood Essence from.” The Vampiric Empress said.

Qing Shui didn’t know what the Vampiric Empress meant by that. From Qing Shui’s perspective, he found it even more difficult to accept the Vampiric Demoness Tribe than the tribe with the Demon Lord Inheritance.

He has never intended to be involved in any of the affairs regarding the Vampiric Demoness Tribe, nor has he ever thought about how it could happen. But today, it could be considered that he has finally learned about it…

“This is for you!”

Qing Shui tossed a bag of Interspatial Silk Sachet to her. After that, he disappeared immediately along with Muyun Qingge.

The Vampiric Empress instinctively took the Interspatial Silk Sachet which Qing Shui tossed to her and looked towards the direction where Qing Shui disappeared into. She then moved her hand to her stomach. At the moment, her stomach was totally flat, without any excess meat on it. But she knew that soon, a new life would be born from it.

……

Qing Shui was feeling very upset. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have gone to the Vampiric Demoness Hill. At the moment, he didn’t want to continue staying here for even one more second.

“Qingge, let’s go greet Sheng Jun. I have made up my mind to leave today.” Right now, both Qing Shui and Muyun Qingge were already at the bottom of Sacred Mountain.

“Why are you in such a rush?” Muyun Qingge looked at Qing Shui and said.

“I don’t want to stay here longer than it needed.” Qing Shui shook his head and said while making his way up the hill.

“Qing Shui, frankly speaking, you needn’t be in such a bad mood. The Vampiric Empress is a good person. Look at her closely, do you think that she is similar to any of the normal Vampiric Demoness?” Muyun Qingge spoke with caution.

“Let’s stop talking about this matter. The more I think about it, the more upset I become.” Qing Shui was feeling very upset. It was mainly because the baby the Vampiric Empress would soon give birth to was his own blood-related daughter.

“Are you concerned that she may give birth to a Vampiric Demoness?” Muyun Qingge asked gently.

Qing Shui admitted it with his silence.

“If that’s what you are concerned about, you needn’t worry about it. For Vampiric Empresses, especially emperors who broke through with this method, the daughter which they give birth to would be a Sacred Demoness that only show up once in every thousand of years. They will be different compared to the ordinary demonesses. Furthermore, they are set to accomplish immeasurable achievements in the future. In ancient times, the Sacred Demoness had once battled the Dao Saints of the Immortal Sects before. The story didn’t just stop here, it’s said that she alone faced off against multiples of them.”

Qing Shui wasn’t clear about this. He couldn’t help but began to question deeper, “So in other words, does that mean that she doesn’t have to consume any fresh blood?”

“Of course not. The Sacred Demoness can be considered as a human. She possesses an incomparably powerful talent that’s a lot stronger than the Vampiric Demoness.”
