"Heeey~ You up yet?"
Shanshi poked Ackster's enviously smooth cheeks. They had regained their color and luster a while ago. But this new master of his had yet to wake up.
Shanshi had tried to take some blood to regain at least a little strength. He could tell he had already succumbed to the effects of the Deal, so he wouldn't be able to do anything against Ackster. But the feeling of being strong and Ackster's blood were addictive.
Moreover, it was horrible to instantly become so weak again in an instant after regaining his peak strength.
However, without Ackster's permission, Shanshi couldn't take any blood.
Shanshi noticed a couple of living beings in the tunnel Ackster had come from. But they were both covered in Ackster's scent. Shanshi didn't dare touch them. He could only wait and hope Ackster would be a generous master.
