Feeling his body growing colder and colder Ye Gui Feng feels an impending crisis. If this girl continues to drain his blood he will surely die a horrific death.

Quickly Ye Gui Feng releases the full might of his Ghostly Spirit Body.

*WRAAAAAAWR!!!!!* explosively baleful spirits wail as they emerge from Ye Gui Feng's body!

The mouth of the girl separates from Ye Gui Feng's neck and Ye Gui Feng quickly backs away.

At the same time from behind Ye Gui Feng an alligator bursts out of the waters and heads right towards him with its long jaws open!

Without turning around Ye Gui Feng flicks his arm back towards the alligator causing ten vile spirits to charge at the alligator.

The alligator that abruptly lands onto the ground from its leap trembles in pain due to the ghost's invasion of its body. It didn't last all that long under this torment before it falls onto the ground wailing till it faints.

"You..."

Ye Gui Feng naturally recognizes the girl in the red dress before his eyes. It is the girl that the red chrysanthemum had possessed.

"..."

Expressionlessly the girl wipes the blood from the corners of her mouth.

It was then that the words of the voice that Ye Gui Feng had heard in the fifth trial grounds come to mind.

(Those who cultivate in the Xié Xuè Lǐngyù (邪血领域 Translation: Evil Blood Domain) are considered bloodthirsty vampires. They experience unimaginable pain until they complete their cultivation of this vile art.)

"..."

A pitying look appears on Ye Gui Feng's face once more as he looks at the girl that he doesn't know the name of.

"Why? Why is it that even when you're alive you feel like nothing more than a corpse?"

"..."

Without replying the girl stomps the ground and crushes it. Her late stage cultivation base of the Nascent Soul realm erupts with a bloodthirsty killing intent that seems hellbent on destroying any traces of life!

With a single step the girl teleports right in front of Ye Gui Feng.

Her glossy nails become covered in blood as she creates a claw of blood and slashes at Ye Gui Feng.

The speed of her attack is far too quick for Ye Gui Feng to keep up as he backs away a little too late.

Fresh blood flows and splatters onto the girl's face as Ye Gui Feng's clothes and chest had been easily cut through by the claws of blood!

"..."

With cold red eyes the girl continues to attack and Ye Gui Feng continues to evade.

Evil Blood Princess, this is the title given to Yao Xue Hua for her cultivation of the Evil Blood Domain. Upon immortal ascension this blood art will transform one into an Evil Blood Immortal, one of the most fiendish immortals to ever walk the cultivation world.

Yao Xue Mei had been one such immortal. Prior to her acquiring true immortality she had suffered through indescribable pain.

It was said that without drinking the blood of living practitioners Yao Xue Mei couldn't relax at all. Thousands had fallen in her hands as she stands above their corpses as one of the strongest ancestors of the Yao family.

"..."

The expressionless face of Yao Xue Hua that shows no hints of emotions is because she has grown numb to the pain that she experiences on a daily basis.

This pain has made Yao Xue Hua forget the joys in life and made her a cold hearted blood demon.

Although Yao Xue Hua may have grown numb to the pain that is caused by her cultivation method she still has her limits. When that limit is reached she becomes a bloodthirsty monster that will seek out targets to slate her thirst.

"Uh!"

Ye Gui Feng continues to dodge Yao Xue Hua's attacks while being pushed back little by little. His clothes are already in tatters.

Yao Xue Hua naturally knows that the respects that she is shown from others is truly just fear. Her own clansmen fear her and the servant disciples of the family does as well.

As for Yao Xue Hua's father and mother... Her father as the clan chief is far too busy dealing with the affairs of the Yao family to spend time with her. While her mother had died in the midst of her birth so she is foreign to the idea of a mother's warmth.

Deep down in the eyes of others Yao Xue Hua is seen as nothing more than a monster that's out for blood.

In actuality Yao Xue Hua should have been locked away from the masses but her father had used his authority as clan chief to prevent that.

But within Yao Xue Hua's own heart she felt like that would have been better for everyone else. If she is not around then they won't feel fear. If she is dead then no one would have to worry about having her around.

"Kuh...!"

Ye Gui Feng who has numerous lacerations on his body is backed to the edge of the lake. Just one more step and he would fall right in.

Although Ye Gui Feng doesn't know about the kind of pain and suffering that Yao Xue Hua goes through he does care for her as it was her death that allowed him to live to this day.

(I am an outsider to the Yao family's affairs but...)

Despite being an outsider Ye Gui Feng has already been acknowledged by Yao Xue Mei on the contract that he helps this girl.

Owing a life debt to this girl it goes without saying that Ye Gui Feng wants this girl to truly live in the present and in the future.

This is the contract between Ye Gui Feng and Yao Xue Mei. As a clansman of the Yao family through bloodline recognition he is to save the suffering soul of this pitiful girl who views herself as a monster.

"This is far too sad..."

Ye Gui Feng lowers his hands and ceases the rotation of his cultivation base completely as he walks towards Yao Xue Hua.

"..."

Yao Xue Hua stares at Ye Gui Feng coldly as she teleports and brings her head close to his neck.

"..."

*Bite!* without resisting at all Ye Gui Feng allows the girl to bite him while retaining the same look of pity.

"If this will satisfy you then drink..."

As his blood is drained through the opened neck wound Ye Gui Feng raises his hand and pats the top of the girl's head while his other arm wraps around her waist.

Softness and warmth is transmitted to his hands while his body temperature drastically drops.

"Even if you act coldly on the surface you're actually quite warm, warmer than anything I've known."

"...!"

The girl blinks her eyes in a manner that is similar to a person that just realized their mistakes as sweet blood flows into her mouth and down her throat.

As more and more blood is sucked out of Ye Gui Feng's body the fat that he's accumulated over the past few weeks gradually vanish.

The insane amount of blood loss makes Ye Gui Feng feel lightheaded as he faints.
