21 Responsibility

"Haha! Only a small gift! No need to thank me!" The old man stroked his silver beard and smiled warmly.

"Hmm!" Since the other party was so direct, Hei Wang just nodded and did not stay on ceremony.

"Hehe! Well then, I only expect one small thing from you! I know that you are going to abduct my granddaughter. This old man only requests that you never ever bring her back to our plane after that. It would be even better if she could lead a peaceful life." The old man looked expectantly towards Hei Wang as he stated his wishes.

Hei Wang did not promise anything. A complicated look appeared on his face when the old man mentioned 'her'.

He was not ready to face her yet! He was not ready to believe the truth yet!

...

Hei Wang tiredly knocked on his room's door. His thoughts were muddled when the door opened and a young girl welcomed him inside.

Hei Wang dully looked up and saw the indifferent Feng Xue'er. Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms which brought a sudden yelp from the young girl.

But the expected torture did not come, and Feng Xue'er slowly opened her eyes to see an unconscious Hei Wang. She gently pulled him inside and placed him down on the bed, but Hei Wang refused to leave her body even while he was like this, and this forced Feng Xue'er to sleep on the bed along with him.

Soon, she too fell asleep against his body. She felt warm and protected and she let go of all her worries at this moment.

...

Hei Wang was first to wake up. He saw the peaceful Feng Xue'er cuddled against his body and his eyes turned red with sorrow.

'In a way, he had lost both of them in his past life didn't he?'

Thinking up to this, Hei Wang suddenly had a great urge to protect this girl. He had already lost her once, he could not bear to lose her once more.

"Hai! It seems like I don't have another choice." Hei Wang softly kissed Feng Xue'er cheeks and got up reluctantly. If possible, he wanted to go all the way with this girl, but he saved it for an important moment.

After that moment, he doubted that she would ever forgive him.

Little Fish ran into his arms as soon as he reached the living room and bit his neck like a vampire. She then sucked his blood which Hei Wang allowed.

"How is your bloodline evolution?" He asked while she was still sucking on his blood.

"It's okay! I should be able to acquire a bloodline in about hundred years this way." She answered sincerely.

Hei Wang frowned. In his past life he had the patience to wait hundred years but in this life he did not want to wait. "Is there a faster way to acquire the bloodline?"

"Sex." Little Fish answered straightforwardly.

"Hmm!" Hei Wang considered it for a minute but he shook his head in the end.

"Don't try to fool me! We had sex many times in the past, but I have never seen you acquire my bloodline!"

"Hehe! I got busted!" Little fish stopped sucking blood from his neck and moved towards his lips. she softly sunk her teeth inside his delicate lower lip and stuck her little tongue out to slowly lick the blood that was dripping down. She then went ahead and pushed her soft and sweet tongue inside his mouth and what followed was fierce exchange of mouth fluids between the two.

"Would having sex really reduce the time you acquire my bloodline?" Hei Wang suddenly stopped and asked seriously. His eyes were filled with lust, but also hope. He was hoping that she did not lie to him.

Unfortunately, Little Fish shook her head. "If your bloodline has awakened, then having sex would have given me a part of your bloodline, but your bloodline is still unawakened, so there is no difference!"

Even though Hei Wang already knew the answer, he still felt depressed to have his hopes shattered. If he awakened his Transcended Bloodline, then Little Fish would be able to easily acquire his bloodline, if she acquired a bloodline, then she would be much stronger as her clan's unique traits would unlock.

Awakening his bloodline also brought benefits to the other women he would have sex with. These women would see an improvement in their own bloodline quality.

This was the reason that Hei Wang had still not taken Feng Xue'er. His Primal Yang from their first sex session would vastly increase one's potential, and Hei Wang was forcing himself to abstain until he awakened his bloodline, which along with his Primal Yang would increase the effects gained to the maximum.

"Master! What are you thinking?" Little fish snuggled into Hei Wang's arms and rested her head against his broad chest. She was still 9 years, but Hei Wang knew that 9 years was too long for their clan.
