Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 44

“No! No need!” Yushiro refused decisively. “We have plenty of blood we’ve obtained from humans; we don’t need yours.”

"Try it, my blood tastes delicious, completely different from what you've had before. It's a hundred times more delicious than diluted blood, I've tested it."

"No! No need!"

"Don't be so polite..."

Hearing the conversation between Natsuhiko and Yushiro, Tamayo's lips twitched slightly.

She was actually more curious about what Xia Yan was talking about in terms of the experiment.

However, seeing Yushiro being teased by Natsuhiko like a child, Tamayo's lips curled up slightly.

If my child and husband hadn't died back then, this would probably have been the scene...

Thinking about this, she felt a strange stirring in her heart.

"Then I'll just have a little bit, just a tiny bit."

Tamayo made a small gesture with her index finger and thumb, a warm smile on her face that she had never shown before.

Yushiro stood there, stunned, and for a moment became somewhat withdrawn.

Lady Tamayo has never smiled at me like that before...

Could it be because of the blood?! Damn it! I must help Lady Tamayo develop a potion that turns her into a human, so that Lady Tamayo can taste my blood too!

Despite having these thoughts in mind, Yushiro still obediently went out.

When he came back, he was carrying a wine glass.

His face showed an expression of extreme reluctance.

"Why did you only take one cup? Don't you need one yourself?"

"I don't care about your blood! Besides, I drank 807 yesterday and don't need to drink blood for a while."

'If Tamayo asked him to give her a push from behind, he'd probably just strain his muscles with tears in his eyes.'

Looking at his distorted expression, Xia Yan couldn't help but have this thought.

"Demon Hunter! I sense something extremely rude is on your mind!!"

"No, how could that be?" Xia Yan forcibly suppressed the upward curve of his lips.

"Look, by using the cup you brought to collect my blood, isn't it the same as you helping me prepare dinner for Miss Tamayo? If you think about it that way, you can feel a sense of participation when Miss Tamayo drinks my blood, right?"

"?"

Killing someone but also killing your heart?

Yushiro looked at Xia Yan with a grief-stricken gaze, as if he wished he could die with him.

Tamayo covered her mouth, revealing a genuine smile that she hadn't shown in a long time, and her gaze towards Natsuhiko softened even more.

Xia Yan did not notice Tamayo's change. He gently cut open the palm of his left hand with his Nichirin Blade.

Under his control, the crimson blood flowed precisely into the wine glass.

In an instant, an irresistible fragrance, even to ghosts, filled the small reception room.

Chapter 83 No one can resist the temptation of delicious food

Gumbling—

The sound of swallowing saliva was clearly audible.

Yushiro stared intently at the cup filled with Xia Yan's blood, his eyes fixed on nothing else, filled only with an endless longing rising within him.

It's like a traveler who has been walking in the desert for three days and three nights and is exhausted, suddenly seeing a glass of water appear in front of him.

Now he finally realized what Xia Yan meant by "a hundred times more delicious than rare blood".

Even though he had just drunk blood yesterday, and could go a week without it without any problem, he now felt as if he hadn't eaten for three months, and had an indescribable craving for the cup of blood in front of him.

After using all his strength to turn his head away, pinching his nose to force himself not to look at the cup of crimson blood, Yushiro finally snapped out of that blood-thirsty state.

Even someone with a lower blood requirement like myself could barely resist this temptation, I wonder what it's like for the other ghosts...

Ok?

...Other ghosts?

not good!

Lord Jushi! ?

Thinking of this, Yushiro hurriedly turned to look at Tamayo beside him.

Tamayo's originally pale purple, misty eyes had completely lost their luster, revealing a pair of jet-black vertical pupils. Her mouth also revealed ferocious fangs.

Saliva dripped uncontrollably down his face, and the veins and bulges on his face stood out.

That was a side of Tamayo that she had never shown before, a side that she always presented with a gentle demeanor.

Like a real demon.

"Lord Juyo——!!!"

Yushiro let out a gasp.

Before she could finish speaking, Tamayo had already transformed into a blur and pounced on Natsuhiko.

"Hey! Demon Slayer, Lady Tamayo has lost her mind! Get out of the way..."

He had just turned around to warn Xia Yan when he discovered that Tamayo, who had just lunged at Xia Yan, was now pinned down on the tatami mat by Xia Yan.

Xia Yan grabbed Tamayo's two wrists with one hand, pinning them above her head, and put his other hand around her neck, pressing his entire body against hers, as if he were about to defy the woman's will.

"Oh my~, is it really okay to throw yourself into someone's arms like this?" Xia Yan said with a hint of teasing in his tone.

At this moment, Tamayo had clearly lost consciousness and was struggling to attack Natsuhiko.

Her previous elegance and beauty have all vanished, and she looks as if she has been infected by a zombie virus, except that she is much more attractive than a normal zombie.

Despite losing her mind, Tamayo's power increased considerably, but she was still firmly held down by Natsuhiko and unable to move an inch.

Although demons are beings whose bodies rely on their spirits, and they will not die as long as the connection between their spirits and bodies remains, they are different from blood demon arts, which symbolize spiritual power. Demons can only become stronger by consuming people.

Tamayo hasn't eaten a human for hundreds of years and only relies on blood to maintain her sanity.

Therefore, her physical strength is only equivalent to that of a girl with slightly greater strength.

"Oh dear, I can't do anything with you. Since you want it so much, here you go."

Xia Yan released his hand from Tamayo's neck and moved in front of her, gently clenching his fist.

Crimson blood flowed again from the freshly cut wound, precisely drenching Tamayo's lips and staining her originally delicate red lips with a bewitching color.

Having received the blood, Tamayo stopped struggling and obediently lay down, letting the blood drip into her mouth.

With the powerful life force contained in Xia Yan's blood replenishing her, her originally pale complexion began to turn rosy.

Her eyes were slightly unfocused, making her look like a flower ready to be picked.

If it weren't for the presence of that white-haired brat, Xia Yan could probably test right now whether humans and demons can actually create a child together.

Fortunately, Tamayo's alluring demeanor did not last long.

Just as Natsuhiko was hesitating about whether to find an excuse to send Yushiro away, Tamayo, who had been satisfied, regained her senses.

The black vertical pupils disappeared again, and the hideous veins and bulges on his face also faded away.

However, those once misty, light purple eyes now had an extremely empty look in them.

"You're awake, huh?" Xia Yan teased in a flippant tone. "Miss Tamayo was more like a ghost just now."

Tamayo did not respond to Natsuhiko's teasing, or rather, her thoughts had already returned to hundreds of years ago.

The night I was tricked by Muzan Kibutsuji and turned into a demon.

That moment is exactly like this moment.

When she regained consciousness, her hands and mouth were covered in blood, and her husband and child lay mutilated corpses on the ground.

She hated herself for becoming a demon, but she hated Muzan even more for deceiving her and turning her into a demon.

Harboring such hatred, Tamayo infiltrated Muzan's inner circle.

Until he met that man who was like a god descended to earth, Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

He thought his life would end that night, but Yoriichi Tsugikuni not only did not kill him, but also comforted him.

And he said, "I believe in your desire to defeat Muzan."

From then on, this sentence took root in Tamayo's heart like a belief, becoming her motivation to live.

Whenever she felt she was about to lose control of her appetite, she would silently repeat this phrase to herself.

They would only resort to scavenging animal or human corpses to survive when they were so hungry they couldn't stand it anymore.

It wasn't until she successfully modified her body that she completely suppressed her cannibalistic instincts and reached a point where she could maintain her sanity by consuming only a small amount of human blood.

But now, even though his body has been modified and he has a strong belief in eliminating Muzan.

The moment he smelled Mr. Xia Yan's blood, he lost his mind and attacked the humans once again.

I have failed Mr. Yoriichi's trust.

This looks really bad...

Is it really impossible to overcome the instincts of being a demon?! (Is this a threat?)

Having researched for hundreds of years, and even failed to eliminate the demon's desire to eat people, can he really develop a medicine to eliminate Muzan?

Thinking of this, a trace of despair flashed in Tamayo's empty eyes, and two lines of clear tears appeared.

"Hey, why are you suddenly crying? Did you taste something incredibly delicious and get so moved that you cried?"

As he spoke, Xia Yan gently wiped away the tears that had slipped from the corners of Tamayo's eyes.

Feeling the touch on her face, Tamayo came back to her senses and looked at Natsuhiko, who was pressing down on her, with a very complicated expression.

There was guilt, but also relief.

After a long pause, she said something in a low voice.
