Chapter 9

Mary turned around again at his words.

“Hmph!” She pouted.

“If I want to eat it in the future, you have to buy it for me.”

Mary pouted and muttered.

“Okay, okay.”

“As long as you want to eat it, I’ll buy it for you no matter where you go.”

As long as he could obtain forgiveness, anything was fine.

“Good. Then it’s settled.”

“Pinky swear!”

With that, Mary held out her pinky.

“Okay, pinky swear.”

Seeing Mary reach out her pinky, Harlen did the same.

“Pinky swear. This contract will not change for 100 years.”

“The person who breaks their promise will be a little dog.”

“And…. stamp it!”

“Okay, we’re done.”

“Mary forgives Brother Harlen, heehee.”

Mary narrowed her eyes and smiled at Harlen, revealing two rows of perfectly white, neatly lined teeth.

“Good. Come on, let’s go get some clothes. We’ll eat after we’re done.”

“Okay!”

Mary spoke in her baby voice.

Then Mary stopped.

She extended her arms, indicating that she wanted him to carry her.

Looking at the petite and weak Mary, Harlen squatted down helplessly and turned his back to Mary.

“Come on up.”

Mary jumped on Harlen’s back, delighted.

She assumed the stance of a charging cavalryman and shouted, “Let’s go!”

Harlen carried Mary away from the other lane and onto another street.

It was obvious that there were more people on this street than on the previous street. It was even more lively.

“It’s over, we’re going to have to squeeze through the crowd again.”

“Mary, hold tight.”

Harlen was ready to march through the crowd with the Ghost Shadow Track unique to vampires, and he motioned for Mary to hold on tight.

“Shua shua shua!!!”

Harlen moved through the crowd with a brisk pace.

Looking down from above, it looked like a big black rat fleeing in all directions.

Within moments, Harlen was out of the crowd.

They arrived at a slightly empty flat land.

The two of them sat on a stone bench under the shade of a tree and rested for a while.

“Oh Mary, we’d better eat something first.”

“I’ll buy the clothes later.”

Harlen felt a little dizzy.

He sat on the stone bench, rubbing his temples with both hands.

Harlen was short of blood.

As he had not sucked blood for a long time, his body did not have enough blood supply.

It was just like eating. If one did not eat for a long time, there would be nothing to consume in their body. They could only rely on their physical skills to sustain themselves.

Although eating human food could maintain his physical abilities, it was far inferior to the fullness of drinking blood.

Mary immediately stopped eating her candied hawthorn when she saw Harlen looking so sad and dizzy. She quickly stood up and walked behind Harlen.

With her mouth biting onto the hawthorn, she massaged Harlen’s back with both hands.

Seeing how Mary was being so attentive to him, Harlen could not help but praise her.

Mary perked up at the sound and accelerated her massage.

About 5 minutes later.

“That’s it, Mary. You don’t have to massage any more.

Mary stopped when she heard Harlen signal that there was no need to press.

Her mouth watered as she bit on the candied hawthorn.

Slurp. Slurp.

Mary took the candy from her mouth and licked it happily.

Then, she subconsciously wiped his saliva with her sleeve.

“Ah!”

It took a few seconds for Mary to notice.

“I’m sorry, Brother Harlen. I wiped my mouth with the clothes you gave me.”

Mary walked over to Harlen and stretched out the remnants of drool on her sleeve. She kept bowing and apologizing.

“It’s fine.”

“You don’t have to apologize.”

“It’s just a small matter. It just needs to be cleaned.”

Harlen stroked Mary’s head reassuringly.

At that moment, there was a slight change in the spot where the saliva was left on the sleeve.

Only to see the remaining saliva on the sleeve form into beads of water, before evaporating in front of them.

When they looked again at the sleeve, the place where the saliva was originally left was already clean and untainted. There was no strange smell at all.

Harlen and Mary were surprised to see this.

“These clothes have the function of automatically expelling water and evaporating it?”

Harlen scratched his head, looking surprised.

“Eh… I think it does.”

Mary said suddenly.

“When we were on that street over there, Brother Harlen, I was perspiring a lot.”

“My clothes are sticking to me.”

“Now look at me.”

Mary looked around herself.

She realized that there was no longer a single drop of sweat on her body.

“And the clothes seem to have their own drying function as well.”

“Now that my clothes aren’t sticking to my body, I feel very comfortable.”

Watching Mary jump around in front of him had already shown how comfortable she was.

Harlen laughed along.

“Okay Mary, stop jumping.”

“Let me find a good place to eat first.”

Mary heard and quickly stopped Harlen from standing.

“Brother Harlen, you’re dizzy now.”

“And the sun is very bright now. Don’t go.”

“Mary will find it.”

“Brother Harlen just needs to sit here and wait for me to come back.”

Just as Mary was about to turn and set off in search of a place to eat, Harlen grabbed her.

“Silly girl, you’re unfamiliar with this place. How are you going to find it?”

“Come back and sit tight. Look at how your Brother Harlen operates.”

Harlen pulled Mary back to sit on the stone bench.

Then…

Harlen pointed a finger through the air.

A bead of light the size of a glass marble appeared out of thin air.

Three seconds later, the light bead broke.

A small bat the size of a glass marble flew out from the light pearl.

Surveillance Magic: Eagle Eye Bat

Harlen could share his vision with the eagle-eyed bat.

It was suitable to scout the enemy or scout the way.

It could control a range of 500 meters.

“Wow ~”

“So cute.”

“This bat is so small.”

Mary held out her palm so that the bat could stop on it for her to observe.

“This bat is not close to humans. It will not fly into your hands.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by the glass marble-sized bat.

The bat flew into Mary’s palm and stopped as though it was deliberately going against Harlen.

“…”

“Very well.”

“Are you going against me?”

“You value sex over your owner, right?”

“Did I treat you badly at the vampire castle?”

“I’m very sad right now. Very sad. I need comfort.”

Harlen’s heart was filled with all sorts of complicated emotions.

He felt wronged.

Mary, on the other hand, was stroking the little bat gently with her fingers and was very happy.

Alright, back to the topic. Eating was more important than anything else.

Harlen leaned close to the bat in Mary’s palm and threatened:

“Go and find a restaurant nearby that doesn’t have many customers, doesn’t need to line up and is delicious.”

“If you can’t find it, then fly to the sun and fend for yourself.”

The little bat looked unhappy, but it knew it could not refute the orders.

What could it do? It was also in despair.

“Don’t be so fierce!”

“It’s still so small—”

Mary protected the little bat with her hands and turned around. She distanced herself from Harlen and the bat and said softly,

“Ignore him, little one.”

“Although he is fierce, his heart is not bad.”

The little bat peeked through Mary’s hair to see Harlen, who was grinning wickedly behind her. It did not think so.

“But Brother Harlen and I are indeed hungry.”

“We’re not familiar with this place.”

“If we encounter any danger, we won’t be able to handle it.”

“If you really can’t find it, don’t be afraid. Come back boldly.”

“With me here, let’s see if Brother Harlen dares to do anything to you.”

Mary said as she caressed the little bat.

…

‘If you guys are not familiar, do you think I am?!’

The little bat was very unwilling in its heart.

‘Dangerous?’

‘I think the biggest danger is the vampire behind you.’

The little bat was extremely dissatisfied.

…

“Are you done complaining?”

Harlen spoke to the little bat, who was complaining.

“Why do you think I summoned you with reconnaissance magic?”

“What are you waiting for?”

Little Bat had no choice but to go find a restaurant..
