Chương 263: Yang Cheng wants Luminas's first embrace!

"It's that guy Rimuru who's been developing cities and trying to trade with humans."

Moreover, after the attack by Falmus and the Holy Church, I think he should have realized that forcibly reconciling the relationship between humans and monsters is not such a simple matter.

Even if you are high above the church and are the goddess Luminas, if those who believe in you knew that your true form is a vampire, they would probably find it hard to accept and might even raise a knife against you.

Even if you did not do evil, and even protected many humans from being harmed by monsters.

But sometimes prejudice is like a mountain, and most humans possess this inherent flaw.

Luminas, who has lived with humans for so many years, surely understands what they are like.

After Yang Cheng had rambled on for so long, Luminas, being a smart person, naturally understood the true meaning behind his words.

That means cooperation is possible, but more money is required!

The implication is that human trust is worthless because humans are creatures who will do anything for money, and there's no way they can get something for nothing by being a propaganda ambassador!

Seeing how troublesome Yang Cheng was, Luminas's expression turned somewhat angry.

She even regretted that she shouldn't have gone to Yang Cheng to discuss these matters, but instead went to Rimuru, the leader of the Jura Great Forest.

At least that slime looked much easier to fool than Yang Cheng.

However, what Luminas didn't know was that if Yang Cheng disagreed with what Rimuru had promised, the latter would likely choose to go it alone immediately.

Although Yang Cheng's subordinates and their families are fewer in number than Rimuru's, they are slightly better in quality.

To put it bluntly, if Yang Cheng were to take Ultimar, Akagami, Shuna, and Shion with him, the overall strength of the Demon Kingdom Federation would likely decrease by about half.

Even after leaving the Demon Kingdom Federation, Yang Cheng wasn't without options. Don't forget, he was still the "Queen" of the Heavenly Wing Kingdom.

Conversely, Rimuru usually doesn't refuse things that Yang Cheng agrees to.

Therefore, being able to persuade Yang Cheng would be far more effective than persuading Rimuru.

"In addition to the conditions I mentioned before, I can arrange ten church saintesses for you every year."

Upon hearing the additional condition that Luminas had discerned, Yang Cheng was clearly taken aback for a moment, then his lips twitched as he said, "Hey you, have you misunderstood something? Are you taking me for a pervert?"

"Our Holy Church has its own intelligence channels, so I have heard that when the vice leader of the Jura Great Forest went to the Beast Kingdom to establish diplomatic relations, he asked Carion to arrange a hundred or eighty monster girls to serve him. He can be called a lustful glutton."

There are also rumors that you have a fetish for young girls who look rather naive.

I didn't believe it before, until I saw you stand up for the Primordial Purple — Hearing Luminas's words, Yang Cheng's expression grew increasingly dark.

Damn, this is a complete disgrace! Admittedly, he's surrounded by beautiful women, but the only one he's officially dating so far is Frey. When did he become such a lecherous freak?

And being a lecher is one thing, after all, it's normal for men to be a little lecherous, but as for being a lolicon, he's really not that kind of pervert!

"I have to say, the intelligence department of your Western Holy Church is really not good. The intelligence it collects is not accurate at all."

I have absolutely no interest in your Holy Church's saintesses. Let's be frank, what I want most right now is the power of a vampire.

That's right. After saying so much, what Yang Chengkai has been coveting for a long time is actually the ability to regenerate and recover, which is also what he needs most right now.

Despite his current status as a powerful awakened demon king, his ability to regain regeneration has always been his weakness.

Rimuru's absurd "super-speed regeneration" and Luminas's ability to revive on the spot are things that Yang Cheng can't rely on. But as a Demon Lord, one should at least have a strong enough recovery ability to ensure the sustainability of battle.

He does possess regenerative abilities, which originate from the slime monster Yang Cheng in the One-Punch Man universe.

Yang Cheng's main abilities are mimicry and biological modification; regeneration is just one of his characteristics, and its effects are not strong.

Yang Cheng can indeed regenerate and heal from ordinary sword wounds, but when the injury reaches the level of losing a hand or foot, this level of regeneration ability is no longer effective.

To put it simply, Yang Cheng felt that this "slow regeneration" ability was no longer worthy of his status as an awakened demon king.

Yang Cheng knew that vampires were among the most resilient of all monsters, and they also possessed extremely strong self-healing and regeneration abilities.

Luminas is the true progenitor of vampires, so helping her gain the regenerative abilities of a vampire shouldn't be too difficult, right?

"You want to become a vampire?"

Luminas was taken aback. She had thought that Yang Cheng's rejection of her conditions meant he was preparing to make exorbitant demands.

But I never expected that the conditions they proposed would be just this?

"My current race is the Netherworld Race, a superior race of the Undead Race. The characteristic of this race is that it can freely change its state of life and death."

In other words, I can transform into a spirit or an ordinary human body at any time, depending on my own needs.

So if I transform into a human body and you bite me, I should be able to gain vampire abilities, right?'

Since he was already a demon, Yang Cheng had no objection to becoming a vampire or anything like that.

Rimuru, a slime, was later transformed into a dragon-demon sticky star god due to Veldora, demonstrating the strong racial tolerance of this world.

If slimes can possess both dragon and star god attributes, then it's quite reasonable for an undead to acquire both winged and vampire racial attributes, right?

"You want my 'first embrace' to become a vampire?"

Upon hearing Yang Cheng's conditions, Luminas's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

If Yang Cheng simply wants to become a vampire, Luminas has many ways to do so. As the progenitor of vampires, she naturally has high-ranking vampires under her command.

Ke Yangcheng made him bite her, which clearly meant he wanted to become her "first embracer".

Unlike ordinary vampires, the Embrace is an important ritual for vampires to develop their kin.

By absorbing each other's blood and replenishing their own, they will share the same blood, meaning they will become like family and take lifelong responsibility for the adopter.

Luminas has never performed an "embrace" on anyone in all these years, so she was naturally a little confused when Yang Cheng suddenly said he wanted to become her family.

Yang Cheng, on the other hand, clearly did not understand the meaning of the so-called "first embrace". Due to the influence of some movies and anime, he simply believed that being bitten would turn him into a vampire. At this moment, he thought that Luminas was being too slow and stingy.
