In the Ten Thousand Mountains, at a small earthen grave on Bamboo Mountain, a hand reached out from the mound. Then a nearly rotten corpse burst forth. In life, the corpse had apparently been a handsome young man, but now most of his handsome face had rotted away, revealing ghastly white bones, tendons, and sinews.
“How did I end up here?”
Qin Hao muttered to himself, looking around in confusion. Before he could even consider his situation, an intense craving for blood flooded his mind!
It drove him nearly mad, and he shouted, “Blood, blood! I need blood!”
Just as Qin Hao was delirious, a mechanical notification sounded in his mind.
“Notification to host: the current body is in a state of collapse and requires a large amount of blood to maintain normal bodily functions. Otherwise, in one day, the host’s body will collapse, resulting in immediate death!”
The voice briefly cleared Qin Hao’s mind, but only for an instant. In the next moment, he fell into a frenzy once more.
“Aura! Human aura! The aura of blood!”
Qin Hao raced forward, following the sweet scent he sensed, like a cheetah running at full speed.
Soon, Qin Hao arrived before a cave.
“There are two people’s auras inside. What an exquisite scent of blood!”
Driven by his intense craving for blood, Qin Hao charged inside without the slightest hesitation.
Inside the cave, a young man in a cyan daoist robe was leering maliciously at a stunning young girl in a blue-and-white dress, her face flushed.
“Su Meng, you never imagined this, did you? As the Supreme Elder of the Daoist Sect, you’re being ambushed by me today. In a little while, you’ll lose your chastity to me!”
The young man laughed loudly. The Su Meng before him was no ordinary woman!
She was the supreme elder of the Dao Sect, one of the Seven Great Sects of the Ten Thousand Mountains. Her strength was unimaginable!
If she had not been in the process of rebuilding her cultivation level, with all her cultivation gone and her strength lost, he would never have dared harbor any improper thoughts toward her, much less drug her with an aphrodisiac!
“If you leave now, I can pretend none of this happened. Otherwise, once my cultivation level is restored, I’ll make sure you regret being born!”
Su Meng panted heavily. Today was the crucial moment for her cultivation technique to break through, but she had never expected to be ambushed by this hypocritical zhengyi sect disciple before her—and drugged with an aphrodisiac!
“It’s worth dying beneath a peony, even as a ghost. Let me taste the legendary Primordial Spirit Sacred Physique!”
Naturally, the young man remained unmoved. With such beauty presented before him, if he let her go now, he would hardly be worthy of being called a man!
“I never thought my chastity would be lost here.” Su Meng bit her lip tightly, resisting the desire in her mind. The effects of the aphrodisiac had already begun to take hold. With her cultivation level completely gone, she could barely resist.
“Does it feel difficult? Let me help you.”
The young man stepped forward and grabbed her clothing. With a ripping sound, a large expanse of her skin was exposed.
Before the young man’s lust could flare further, Qin Hao suddenly rushed out and sank his teeth into the man’s shoulder. He then began sucking greedily.
In only a moment, most of the blood in the young man’s body had been absorbed by Qin Hao.
“Why can’t I move!” the young man screamed in agony, only to discover that from the instant Qin Hao bit him, his body had become nearly immobile.
A while later, Qin Hao had drained the young man into a dried corpse!
Qin Hao’s originally rotting body had returned to a state indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person. His face was extraordinarily handsome; if not for the two fangs at the corners of his mouth, dripping with blood, he would have looked exactly like a refined young gentleman of the mortal world.
“What have I done?”
Qin Hao regained consciousness. Looking at the young man before him, now reduced to a dried corpse, he could not help taking several steps back. Then he clutched his head and recalled what had happened earlier!
“I killed him!”
When he realized that he had drained the young man’s blood, Qin Hao retched violently. He had actually become such a monster!
He had clearly been nothing more than an ordinary university student in Huaxia. Why had he become like this—a blood-drinking monster?
It was the first time in his life he had killed anyone, and the intense discomfort overwhelmed Qin Hao. Dizzy and retching, with fear and regret surging into his heart, Qin Hao collapsed onto the ground as tears trickled from the corners of his eyes.
Nearby, Su Meng’s eyes were already hazy with desire, and the flames of lust consumed her. Completely ignoring Qin Hao’s condition, she rushed over, pounced on him, and kissed him.
Qin Hao was at a loss. He had not yet recovered from the discomfort of his first killing when this happened. Yet the soft, fragrant beauty in his arms and the virgin’s scent from her body filled his nose, leaving him somewhat intoxicated. Qin Hao did not resist, allowing Su Meng to move against him. He wanted to rely on Su Meng to escape the shadow of his first killing!
After a bout of passion, a smear of crimson.
When everything was over, Qin Hao actually fell into a deep sleep. Su Meng rose with a calm expression, put on her clothes, and looked at Qin Hao speechlessly.
“In the end, I still lost my chastity.”
Her gaze was somewhat cold. Looking at the young man who had become a dried corpse, she struck out with her palm, transforming the dried corpse into dust from across the air.
“Whether you did it intentionally or not, you killed that villain for me and helped me vent my anger. You were also my first man. So although you are of the Corpse Clan—and a corpse king rarely seen even once in ten thousand years—I will not kill you!”
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts, not to mention a corpse king who will inevitably bring disaster to a region whenever he appears in the world!
But when she looked at the young man’s handsome face, felt his steady breathing, and recalled the tenderness they had shared, Su Meng could not bring herself to strike.
“But our fate ends here. The next time we meet, for the sake of the human race, I will kill you without hesitation!”
Su Meng seemed to have made some decision. After giving Qin Hao one last look, she formed a sword seal. A flying sword appeared beneath her feet, and she flew ten thousand miles away, vanishing without a trace.
After a long while, Qin Hao slowly awakened. The first thing he did was look around. When he saw no one, his heart felt strangely empty.
“Has she left?”
She had been his first woman. Although they had only met by chance and shared a brief affair, the tenderness between them had still carved an eternal mark into Qin Hao’s heart. He feared he would never be able to forget it for the rest of his life!
“Perhaps she was afraid of me!”
Qin Hao recalled the scene of draining the young man’s blood, and the urge to retch surfaced once again!
“What kind of monster am I now?” Qin Hao murmured blankly.
“The host is currently a corpse king!” the mechanical voice sounded once again.
“Who are you?” Qin Hao asked.
“I am the corpse king System. I can help the host grow into an unrivaled corpse king who will dominate a region and become the strongest beneath heaven and earth!”
“I don’t need that. I only want to be an ordinary person!”
Qin Hao did not want to become some corpse king. He only wanted to be an ordinary person!
An utterly ordinary university student living in Huaxia.
