Chapter 196 Shouldn't you help me take a bath? (5k)

Seeing that Shen Cheng had made a decision, Tian Xuanxing did not try to persuade him any further. However, she made a request, asking Shen Cheng to lie on the inspection table to fuse the Eternal Blood. She wanted to monitor Shen Cheng's physical condition during the fusion.
After the fusion, she will also draw a tube of blood as a research sample.

Of course Shen Cheng would not refuse such an offer of dedication to science.

After stripping naked and lying on the testing table, Shen Cheng covered his entire body with electrodes and held in his hand a drop of eternal blood wrapped in gel.

Without hesitation, he threw the Eternal Blood directly into his mouth, bit it and swallowed it like eating candy.

He didn't feel anything when he swallowed it, but Shen Cheng could feel this drop of eternal blood flowing down his throat into his abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, all the blood in his body began to boil.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be jubilation.

These source bloods seemed to have their own will. They cheered and rushed towards this drop of eternal blood.

Just when Shen Cheng thought that these source bloods would directly devour the Eternal Blood, he discovered that after getting close to the Eternal Blood, they became quiet and obedient, even motionless, as if expressing submission to a king.

And this proud king looked down from a high place, inspecting his own army.

All the source blood gathered around this drop of eternal blood, and the two slowly merged together until they became indistinguishable from each other.

This scene made Shen Cheng feel frightened, because the source blood in his body seemed to suddenly no longer belong to him, and it had independent consciousness and expressed submission to the stranger.

He originally thought that the Eternal Blood was a higher level of source blood, but now it seems that the two parties may not be in a superior-subordinate relationship, but a master-servant relationship, and the Eternal Blood has absolute control over the source blood.

When this drop of eternal blood merged with the source blood, Shen Cheng could feel that the strength of his source blood was increasing, which was reflected in his body, that is, the values ​​in all aspects were rising rapidly.

Shen Cheng's muscles were tense, his blood vessels bulged under his skin, and blood surged violently in his veins like a roaring river.

Finally, all of the energy flows into the heart, and the strong heartbeat sounds like a war drum, spreading throughout the warehouse.

The strengthening was over in a blink of an eye, but the effect was extremely amazing, equivalent to directly injecting two doses of non-toxic high-level demon blood.

If the demon armor is excluded, there is no essential change in Shen Cheng's combat effectiveness before and after killing Yin Hong.

And now after fusing with the Eternal Blood, his physical strength has reached the limit of the extraordinary level, and he is only one step away from reaching the master level.

If other abilities were added, his combat power under normal circumstances should be similar to that of a master. Add to that the demon armor and true form, and it might have the effect of a dimensionality reduction strike against ordinary masters.

Moreover, the benefits of Eternal Blood are far more than that. It allows Shen Cheng to absorb the source blood of other vampires to strengthen himself. Both Yin Hong and Yu Bi relied on this to successfully strengthen themselves to the master level.

But source blood cannot be absorbed casually. Shen Cheng gained some lessons from the memories of Yu Bi and Yin Hong.

First of all, the source blood represents the life of the vampire, so when absorbing the source blood, the vampire being sucked must still be alive, and the other party's consciousness will enter the body of the absorber along with the source blood.

At this time, the absorber must fight with this foreign consciousness and completely eliminate it before he can digest the source blood.

Under this premise, many rules will be derived.

First, it is best not to absorb the source blood of vampires of the same level, because you may not be able to defeat the other party's consciousness. If you are defeated by the other party, it would be really a waste of your hard work to make things difficult for others.

Second, you can only absorb the source blood of one vampire at a time. If you absorb more than two at the same time, you will have to deal with two foreign consciousnesses at the same time, and the probability of failure is very high.

Third, never absorb a large amount of low-level vampire blood just for the sake of saving a little money, because the cost-effectiveness is too low, and if not handled properly it will lead to mental disorder.

This is how Yin Hong's weakness came about. At the beginning, he was greedy for small gains and absorbed too much blood from low-level vampires, which resulted in a large amount of foreign consciousness that could not be completely eliminated, and instead affected his own spirit.

In addition to the above, eternal blood has one biggest benefit for vampires - if a servant possesses eternal blood, he can forcibly absorb the master's source blood.

This gave all vampires a chance to defeat their superiors.

Moreover, eternal blood is not affected by the curse of source blood. If eternal blood accounts for a certain proportion in the body, it may be possible to get rid of the curse of source blood.

Shen Cheng opened his eyes, got down from the testing table, and tore off the electrodes on his body.

He was now eager to try it out and wanted to find a vampire right away to try out the effect of absorbing the eternal blood.

However, remembering Yin Hong's lesson, he forced himself to give up the idea. Even if he wanted to absorb vampires, he had to absorb some extraordinary vampires so that the cost-effectiveness would be high enough.

After drawing a tube of blood and leaving it to Tianxuanxing, Shen Cheng said goodbye and left.

He originally wanted to go and see how Madam Yan Rui was doing, but thinking that she must be very busy right now, he decided not to cause trouble and would go see her later.

After returning home, Yan Qiuli, who still had few customers, lay down on the front desk bored.

Seeing Shen Cheng coming back, she immediately perked up and raised her arms high: "Brother, someone sent you a letter."

Shen Cheng asked curiously: "Who sent it?"

"I don't know. There's no name on the envelope."

Yan Qiuli took out a letter from the front desk drawer and handed it to Shen Cheng: "When I opened the door early this morning, this letter was outside the door, and it said the recipient was you."

Shen Cheng took the envelope, and there were indeed three words "Shen Cheng" written on it, but there was no sender's name, address or zip code.

"Another one from Feng Ling?"

Feng Ling used the same method last time to send a letter to Shen Cheng, informing him about joining the masquerade ball.

He tore open the envelope and took out a piece of paper.

There was only one sentence on it - See you at Dongyanglou Teahouse on May 15th.

The signature is Si Han.

The sender was not Feng Ling, but a name that looked familiar.

Shen Cheng thought about it in his mind for a while, and finally remembered who this Si Han was.

Yan Qiuli's master Pei Mu made a deal with Shen Cheng before his death, asking him to give a copy of the Stargazing Club's research materials to this man named Si Han.

But the other party was elusive, so Pei Mu could only ask Shen Cheng to try his luck at the provincial capital. Whether he could find him depended on fate.

Because he had experienced a lot during this period of time, Shen Cheng almost forgot about this matter.

I didn't expect that before I went to look for him, Si Han came to me on his own initiative.

This is a good thing, as it saves Shen Cheng the time of looking for the other party.

Yan Qiuli came over curiously: "Brother, who sent this letter to you?"

"A new friend."

Shen Cheng put the letter away. There was still a long time before May 15th, so there was no need to rush.

……

Shen Cheng didn't want to disturb Madam Yan Rui, but the news about Madam Yan Rui still reached his ears.

When night fell, he was about to take a shower when Ruan Qingsha came back.

"Do you know how much trouble Yin Hong's death caused?"

Ruan Qingsha happened to see Shen Cheng who was about to enter the bathroom, so she called out to him, "You, the culprit, are actually in the mood to take a shower."

Her tone was not accusatory, but rather teasing.

"Not only am I in the mood for a bath, I'm also in the mood for a back scrub."

Shen Cheng looked down at the clothes in his hands, then looked up at Ruan Qingsha, and suddenly said: "As my exclusive maid, shouldn't you help me take a bath?"

Ruan Qingsha opened her eyes wide in surprise, as if she didn't expect Shen Cheng to make such a shameless request.

"You are dreaming, get out of here."

ten minutes later.

In the steamy bathroom.

Ruan Qingsha, wearing a maid uniform, looked at Shen Cheng with his back to her, and her mind was a little confused.

She began to wonder if she had been brainwashed by Shen Cheng again. Why did she suddenly agree to help him take a bath?

However, the conditions offered by Shen Cheng were impossible to refuse - after helping him take a bath, she would no longer have to force herself to be his exclusive maid.

Moreover, Shen Cheng would wear underwear when taking a shower, so there was no need to worry about seeing something you shouldn’t see.

After careful consideration, Ruan Qingsha didn't know why she agreed to it, so she wondered if she was brainwashed by Shen Cheng.

Now in the bathroom with Shen Cheng, looking at his naked back, she suddenly felt a little regretful.

"If you regret this, get out."

Shen Cheng suddenly spoke up: "I won't laugh at you for going back on your word."

"Do you think provoking me will work?" "Then why don't you get out? I will never tell others that you are dishonest."

"..."

Shen Cheng waited for a while, but did not hear the sound of Ruan Qingsha pushing the door and leaving. Instead, he heard a cold little hand touching his naked back.

A triumphant smile appeared on his face, and then he felt the hand suddenly reach down and grab his underwear.

With a ripping sound, the underwear was torn into two pieces.

The naked Shen Cheng's face changed.

Damn, when did Ruan Qingsha become so fierce?

"Turn around."

Ruan Qingsha's mocking voice sounded from behind: "Aren't you quite brave?"

Shen Cheng was not fooled: "If I turn around, you won't arrest my men, right?"

Ruan Qingsha remained silent.

Shen Cheng was shocked: "No way, are you really going to do this?"

Ruan Qingsha gnashed her teeth and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Will you turn around?"

Whenever she fought with Shen Cheng before, she always lost because she didn't dare to catch Shen Cheng's weakness. On the other hand, Shen Cheng dared to attack any part of her body, and the difference between them was obvious.

Ruan Qingsha has now completely figured it out and has decided to go for broke.

Isn’t it just conscripting men?
As an expert in appreciating pornographic texts, is there anything I dare not catch?
As long as Shen Cheng dared to turn around, she would catch him and show him.

"I don't want you to wash me anymore, please get out."

"Haha, it's too late for you to regret now."

Ruan Qingsha grabbed a large ball of shower gel, slapped it on Shen Cheng's back, and then rubbed him vigorously.

The force was so strong that it didn't feel like he was giving Shen Cheng a bath, but rather like he was trying to peel off his skin.

After quickly washing the back, Ruan Qingsha said to Shen Cheng, "Turn around."

Shen Cheng was a little surprised at first, but now he is completely calm. He turned around and looked at Ruan Qingsha.

Ruan Qingsha had an expressionless face as she began to rub Shen Cheng's front with shower gel. Her cold and soft little hands kneaded his neck, shoulders and chest, creating bubbles.

But Shen Cheng discovered that Ruan Qingsha's eyes were fixed on his upper body and she didn't look down at all.

Moreover, her whole body was tense and her eyes were determined as if she wanted to join the party. It was obvious that she was nervous.

Shen Cheng was really afraid that Ruan Qingsha would do something to him in her nervous state, so he had to speak to ease the tension.

"You just said that Yin Hong's death caused a lot of trouble?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ruan Qingsha seemed to relax from her tense state all of a sudden.

"The Scarlet Dinner has thousands of members in the state capital. After the news of Yin Hong and the deputy ministers' deaths spread, these vampires became restless. From this morning to tonight, they have caused dozens of large-scale conflicts. The Public Security Bureau has to work overtime to stop them."

Ruan Qingsha rubbed her hair while saying, "Besides, Yin Hong's death has also invalidated the peace agreement signed with the government. If civil unrest breaks out within the Red Banquet over the position of the new minister, the government is very worried that it will cause a larger-scale unrest."

The reason why this group of vampires did not attack humans was because the Scarlet Dinner had been providing them with food.

Once the Scarlet Party is paralyzed, these vampires will bite people everywhere like mad dogs for food.

Thousands of uncontrolled vampires, this is no joke.

The government signed a peace agreement with the Red Dinner because it needed to restrain them.

In addition, the top level of the Scarlet Dinner has now been almost cleared out, and the source blood extract cannot be provided in the short term, which makes some people within the government very dissatisfied, and they are also worried that they will not be able to provide it in the future.

Ruan Qingsha said with some relief: "Fortunately, the murderer who killed Yin Hong was you, the Star Sea Ranger. If the government finds out that Zhao Zonghan and I were involved, then we will definitely be in big trouble."

Shen Cheng frowned slightly: "Could it be that Madam Yan Rui can't control the situation?"

"she?"

Ruan Qingsha chuckled, "From what I know, your Madam Yan Rui has run into a lot of trouble. Many vampires are not convinced by her, and she has also been flirting with you, the murderers who killed Yin Hong. This makes her even more unconvincing. She must be extremely worried now."

Shen Cheng realized that he might have been inconsiderate.

I thought Madam Yan Rui could control the situation, but now it seems that with her prestige, she has no way to convince the people, not to mention that she is suspected of killing the previous minister.

Ruan Qingsha looked at Shen Cheng's expression and smiled with a bit of gloating: "You feel bad, don't you?"

"What does the internal affairs of the Red Dinner have to do with me? I don't feel bad, but you're rubbing my chest so hard that it hurts."

Shen Cheng said something stubborn, and then reminded her: "When you take a shower, do you usually just wash your upper body?"

Ruan Qingsha kept rubbing Shen Cheng's upper body, rubbing it three or four times in a row, without even looking at his lower body.

Hearing Shen Cheng's words, the smile on Ruan Qingsha's face disappeared: "You are the only one who talks too much."

With a snap, she slapped the foam in her hand directly onto Shen Cheng's face, making him unable to see anything.

Shen Cheng was about to reach out to wipe it off when he heard Ruan Qingsha's sudden low voice.

"do not move."

Then, Shen Cheng felt Ruan Qingsha's hand moving down his chest and began to help him clean the rest of the body.

Shen Cheng didn't move, nor did he open his eyes.

Because he knew that once he opened his eyes, Ruan Qingsha would definitely run away immediately.

So he just sat there motionless, quietly enjoying Ruan Qingsha's maid service.

After a while, Ruan Qingsha stuffed the shower head into Shen Cheng's hand.

"Rinse it yourself."

After saying this, she hurriedly turned around and ran out of the bathroom, as if she was escaping.

Shen Cheng opened his eyes and sighed with some regret.

What a pity, it was just an ordinary bath and nothing pleasant happened.

……

As if to verify the news brought back by Ruan Qingsha, Shen Cheng only stayed at home for two days before he received a call for help from Madam Yan Rui.

"Sorry, I let you down."

Madam Yan Rui's voice was weak and tired, completely lacking her usual shrewdness and strength.

Shen Cheng asked curiously: "Why did you disappoint me?"

Madam Yan Rui blamed herself very much: "You asked me to handle the situation at the Red Banquet properly, but I messed it up. I can't control the situation at all now."

Shen Cheng just remembered that when he parted with Madam Yan Rui two days ago, he did tell her to work hard.

I didn't expect that she took my words so seriously. Is this the power of love?
"Tell me, what's the situation now?"

"No one wants to listen to me, it seems like everyone is against me."

Although Madam Yan Rui has a long career and is now a veteran of three dynasties, her own strength and prestige are not strong, otherwise the power she inherited from her husband would not have been shrinking.

And this is all Yin Hong's fault. In order to make Madam Yan Rui submit to him, Yin Hong has been suppressing and weakening her power, and eliminating those vampires who dared to speak to Madam Yan Rui and sympathize with her at the Red Dinner.

After all the operations, now in the entire red dinner party, except for Madam Yan Rui's own subordinates, there are no vampires who have good intentions towards Madam Yan Rui.

So after the death of Yin Hong and a group of senior executives, when Madam Yan Rui stepped forward to clean up the situation, she found that there were voices of opposition everywhere and no one was willing to obey her.

There are also rumors that Madam Yan Rui and the killer Yin Hong's vampire are in cahoots.

Although this was not a rumor, it gave some people an excuse to get angry, and many ambitious people jumped out and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power.

At the bright red dinner, Madam Yan Rui is not the only extraordinary vampire. There are also many guys who are not in high status but are quite powerful. The death of a number of high-level officials has made them see the possibility of rising to the top, so the open and secret struggles are very fierce.

Madam Yan Rui struggled for two days to fulfill Shen Cheng's request.

Just now, she received a notice from the state government, asking her to clean up the mess as soon as possible and control the chaotic situation at the Red Banquet, otherwise the state government would not rule out the use of special measures.

Madam Yan Rui really had no choice but to call Shen Cheng for help.
