Su Duan paused, not declining this enrollment. Viji was still ill, so he wasn't at ease with Viji attending school alone.

Just as Vigter worried other Luotas would target Su Duan, he was equally concerned Viji's illness would flare up out of his sight.

The jump in Vigter's recovery value from 20 to 60 after he suddenly matured that day in the snow both shocked and delighted Su Duan. So the slow increase before was because Viji secretly stored energy from the blood, not because the healing effect was decreasing.

But 60 was still far from enough. As long as the recovery didn't reach 100, relapse was possible.

Su Duan raised his eyes and sincerely thanked the emperor. "Thank you, Viji and I will... study hard together, please don't worry."

To be honest, Su Duan never had the experience of attending school. In the first world, he was tutored at home. In the second world as a slave, he had no chance for schooling.

The prospect of going to school made him feel a bit of novelty.

The emperor took a sip of tea, adjusted his posture in the chair, leaning forward slightly. He calmly said, "It's fine, no need to be so tense. I don't have strict requirements for grades, but you do need to pass... otherwise, the principal might call me in for a talk."

Even as the imperial emperor, when it came to his children's education, his identity was no different from other parents. If his kids failed, he would also receive urging emails from the academy's professors.

Su Duan blinked and slowly made an "en" sound. He picked up a cookie from the plate in front of him and took a bite.

At some point, Vigter had come over. His head stretched out from behind, mouth accurately biting the half-eaten cookie in Su Duan's hand. He swallowed it in a few bites and licked Su Duan's fingertips.

Su Duan blanked for a moment. "..."

After finishing the cookie, Vigter squeezed next to him, chin resting on his shoulder. He discreetly glanced at the older Luota across from them, the implication of declaring his claim more than obvious.

His Majesty the Emperor was quite calm towards this black-haired fellow tribesman who suddenly rushed over. Without changing his expression, he poured a cup of tea for Vigter and pushed it in front of him, "Here, have a taste. If you like it, bring some with you when you go to school."

It's just that when he lowered his eyes, a hint of amusement leaked out from his light golden eyes.

...What a possessive little kid.

......

The next day, after the access permission to the study was transferred over, Su Duan took Vigter to the study.

This was actually Emperor Aiberta's private study. Because this emperor had been raising children for many years, a considerable portion of the books here belonged to the education category, fully capable of meeting Vigter's needs.

Looking at the map, Su Duan walked for a long time before finding the area for school education.

This study was very spacious, built according to the physique of adult Luota people. The spotless white ceiling hung high overhead, out of reach. Each bookshelf was over a dozen meters tall. Su Duan craned his neck until it was sore, but still couldn't see the very top, let alone go up to get books.

Fortunately, because the owner would sometimes come here to read in human form, it was equipped with a lift. After Su Duan checked the library system and determined the locations of several books like "How to Disguise Yourself as a Herbivore", "Capital Comprehensive College - Admission Guide" and others according to the book list provided by His Majesty the Emperor, he was about to step onto the lift.

As a result, he was held back by the black-haired youth following behind him. Embracing his shoulders, Vigter sat him down at a desk on the side, "I'll go get them, wait for me here."

Although the lift looked very safe, he still didn't feel at ease letting his little prey climb to such a high place.

After saying that, without waiting for Su Duan to react, Vigter had already stepped onto the lift to find books upstairs.

...He didn't even ask where the books were located.

Su Duan was stunned for a moment, then helplessly sent the locations of those few books to Vigter.

After receiving the location message, the black-haired youth poked his head out from the edge of the lift, his ice-blue eyes revealing a hint of embarrassment as he looked at his little prey.

Su Duan waved at him, curving the corners of his eyes slightly, and reassured him, "No need to rush, I'll wait for you here."

He said there was no need to rush, so Vigter really didn't come back for a long time.

This adult Luota beastman seemed to have no talent for finding things. Even though Su Duan had sent him the locations, a full twenty minutes passed. By the time Su Duan had gotten bored enough to take a beastman version storybook from the bottom of the bookshelf next to him and start reading, he finally heard footsteps coming from behind.

Before Su Duan could put down the book in his hand, the footsteps abruptly stopped, accompanied by the dull thud of books hitting the ground and the rustling sound of pages scattering.

Having a vague bad premonition, Su Duan hurriedly turned his head, only to see a scene that made his heart race-

A few books were scattered messily on the ground. The black-haired youth who had been holding them was lowering his head, his figure unsteady as he leaned against the table beside him. The exposed neck and forearms had hideously bulging veins, broken groans escaping his throat, as if suppressing some impulse.

As Su Duan walked forward, he summoned the system, "System - what's wrong with him?"

The system said, "The system has detected that the healing target has fallen ill! Please be careful, host!"

Just as he was about to reach the black-haired youth's side, Su Duan suddenly hesitated and stopped, not daring to casually touch the obviously abnormal youth. He anxiously asked in his heart, "System, what should I do now? Will feeding him my blood help?"

The system said, "The host can try. As the 'medicine', your blood can suppress the illness to some extent. But to avoid the healing target losing reason and threatening the host's life safety, it is recommended that the host use tools to provide blood, and not personally take action."

As the system was speaking, Vigter's body suddenly spasmed violently. His waist slammed hard against the desk, his fingertips gouging deep furrows into the tabletop. He tilted his head slightly, revealing beast pupils that had completely turned feral, as if frigid rivers were flowing within them.

However, the edges of these originally pure and beautiful beast pupils were now invaded by bright red blood streaks, like an ice layer stained with fresh blood, looking extremely eerie.

Seeing Vigter on the verge of collapse like this, Su Duan didn't bother preparing tools to draw blood. He simply stepped forward and hugged the black-haired youth's body.

As soon as he touched the other party's skin, he realized Vigter's body temperature was terrifyingly high, his muscles tensed to a horrifying degree. His whole being was like a hard, scalding rock. Su Duan's heart ached. He softly called his name, one hand soothingly resting on his back while raising the other wrist to his lips, "Vigter, be good... Open your mouth..."

However, to his surprise, the adult Luota who could no longer speak, the moment his lips touched his wrist, unhesitatingly turned his head away and forcefully pushed him away from his body.

Su Duan was blankly pushed back two steps, the back of his head hitting the bookshelf behind him, unable to hold back a moan.

Hearing his pained cry, the adult Luota slowly turned his head, his beast eyes filled with even more blood streaks, staring intently at him. His lips moved slightly but made no sound.

But Su Duan understood. He said "Go".

The adult Luota had realized that his body and reason were starting to spiral out of control. Although he didn't understand what exactly happened or what the consequences would be... The first thing he remembered was to get the fragile little prey away from himself as quickly as possible.

Because as reason faded, the suppressed hunger also began to awaken.

However, the little prey had no idea about avoiding danger. Not only did he not obediently leave quickly, but he also opened his pure black eyes and stubbornly approached again, taking the initiative to pull open his collar, exposing a large area of bare neck on the left side.

The skin on the side of his neck was fair and delicate, glowing with a pearly luster under the light.

The adult Luota's gaze uncontrollably fell on the little prey's neck that looked so slender it might snap with a twist. His Adam's apple reflexively rolled as he swallowed.

The next second, the back of his head was held by someone and forcefully pushed down-

Thus, his entire breath was enveloped by the scent from the little prey's body. The tender, alluring skin before him emitted an irresistible scent, with even more tantalizing blood flowing slowly beneath. Merely pressing his lips against it seemed to allow an overwhelming flavor to slip through the seams of his lips, devouring the last remnants of clarity in his mind.

As his little prey once again actively rubbed the delicate skin of his neck against his lips, he let out a heavy breath, unable to restrain himself any longer. He parted his lips and precisely pierced the fine blood vessels with his sharp fangs.
