Chapter 40 Bait
"Forget it, I don't have the strength anymore."

Jiang Xia pretended to have sore muscles and returned the red compound bow and arrow in his hand to Kurasawa Mami.

"Yes!" Kurasawa Mami just realized it now. It was almost evening and Jiang Xia had been practicing archery for an entire afternoon. If he continued practicing, he might cause permanent damage to his arm.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier! Come with me." After saying that, Kurasawa Mami quickly packed up her things, pulled Jiang Xia, and left quickly.

"Get in the car, I'll take you somewhere." Kurasawa Mami opened the door of her red car and let Jiang Xia get in.

"Muscle soreness after strenuous exercise is very normal, but professional athletes have people who will deal with it in advance. This time I was negligent and your injury has just healed. I am really sorry."

While driving, Kurasawa Mami apologized to Jiang Xia.

"It's okay. I really gained a lot from this archery practice." Jiang Xia said feeling a little embarrassed.

Although his injuries were indeed just right, his physique was no longer human.
Even if he were to exercise without restraint for a whole day, he would not suffer from muscle soreness like ordinary people.

"Don't force yourself to feel uncomfortable in the future. Over-exercise can be very painful," advised Mami Kurasawa.

"We're here." Kurasawa Mami personally opened the car door for Jiang Xia.

"Massage parlor?" Jiang Xia looked at Kurasawa Mami in confusion.

I originally thought that Kurasawa Mami would take me to the hospital or just let him rest.

But he didn't expect that Mami Kurasawa would bring him to a massage parlor that looked full of lights and wine. Is this a decent place?
He had never been to such a place, or rather, he had never participated in any professional sports.

Before hunting vampires, his physical fitness was even below average among ordinary people. After his evolution, he had even less reason to come to such a place.

"Well, I often come here for massage. After every game, I come here to relieve stress.
And this place can also ease my inner fear." Kurasawa Mami said with a hint of nostalgia.

So that's it, a place for professional athletes to relax... But what is she afraid of? Vampires?
Jiang Xia asked with a hint of doubt: "Competition, what competition, archery?"

As if sensing Jiang Xia's doubts, Kurasawa Mami smiled and said, "I am a professional archery athlete who participated in the Olympics."

"It's really amazing." Jiang Xia exclaimed.

I didn't expect that an ordinary person could represent the country in a place where vampires exist.

It seems that humans are also capable of fighting against vampires.

Perhaps, he had already noticed that there were problems with Taiya's company, but the time was not right yet.

Or maybe the vampire race still has value, so they are kept.

Jiang Xia then realized that human power might be even stronger than he had imagined, but it was just not manifested.

"Of course, otherwise how can I teach you this genius?" Kurasawa Mami said with a smile.

"Come on, lie down. You have a nice figure, and that perverted voice is really presumptuous."

Kurasawa Mami looked at Jiang Xia with her upper body naked and smiled.

"..."

Even the masseuse who came to give her a massage envied Jiang Xia's skin. She didn't have such good skin.

When the fingers gently touched the skin, the warm hand had a moderate force.

She pressed on Jiang Xia's back slowly and steadily, and the muscles relaxed under her fingertips.
Jiang Xia clearly had no muscle fatigue, but now he felt a sense of relaxation.

A feeling of pleasure spread throughout my body, my muscles gradually relaxed, and my body sank into tranquility and comfort. The night passed slowly in a peaceful and reassuring mood.

Let the sun rise gradually the next day. Jiang Xia, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

After he finished his massage last night, Kurasawa Mami and he each had a room and went straight to rest there.

Mami Kurasawa is a frequent visitor here, so there is always a room available whenever she comes.

And this place is not what Jiang Xia thought, it is quite formal here.

Apart from necessary massage, all employees here are not allowed to have any other contact with guests.

Moreover, every employee comes to and from get off work on time. This is basically the most upscale of all hotels.

Feeling the cool air in the early morning, Jiang Xia suddenly showed a relaxed smile on his face.

I was originally waiting for the vampire to hunt Kurasawa Zhenmei, but I didn't expect to relax at the same time. However, the vampire that left the scent hasn't come out yet, so I have to wait a little longer.

The battle against Rook kept Jiang Xia on edge. He thought anyone approaching him was in the same situation as the Lionfang Vampire.

There are two possibilities for the smell. The first is that Kurasawa Mami is a marked food, and the second is that Tian himself is a vampire.

No matter which one it is, Jiang Xia will follow her, but Jiang Xia prefers Kurasawa Mami as the marked food. With this ready-made bait, he doesn't have to look for people on the streets.

What happened to Rook was really just a special case. It would be basically difficult for a second vampire to escape Jiang Xia's perception.

"Knock, knock, knock!" A rhythmic knocking sound came from the heavy wooden door.

Kurasawa Mami, looking at the familiar life energy approaching, Jiang Xia instantly knew the identity of the person behind the door.

In the eyes of vampires, every human life is different, some are delicious, while others are extremely disgusting.

The gap is huge, which is why vampires only absorb humans of the same type.

Jiang Xia walked to the door, gently turned the handle and opened it.

"Did you rest well yesterday? Are you still hurting? Do you want to relax again today? Don't leave any pain on your body, otherwise..."

Kurasawa Mami stood at the door and looked at Jiang Xia and said.

"Thank you, Sister Zhenmei. I had a good rest." Jiang Xia softened instantly, nodded and smiled.

Kurasawa Mami didn't say anything, she just drove the red car and took Jiang Xia to an archery practice range.

There was a red compound bow and arrow hanging at regular intervals, and Jiang Xia just sat on a chair nearby, watching Kurasawa Mami practice archery.

In Kurasawa Mami's eyes, Jiang Xia is not suitable to continue training today, but she needs to go through some high-intensity exercise every day.

Keeping yourself in peak condition may be the habit of being a professional athlete.

Looking at Kurasawa Mami who scored ten rings in one go, Jiang Xia who was standing aside was also slightly thoughtful.

The target of that vampire couldn't be athletes or people who exercise regularly.

He has been observing Kurasawa Mami for some time. She is a professional athlete, female and loves sports.

This also allowed Jiang Xia to roughly guess the diet of this vampire, who was a picky eater like the rhinoceros vampire.
