24 Mother, I am sorry (1/2)

Fu Sheng clutches his heart. He suddenly feels like his heart is being burned. Each cell has been poisoned by a smoldering fire. He knows this familiar sensation. He has touched the enchanted wood once. Accidentally. That was around three thousand years ago, but he never forgot how it felt like. No vampire can ever forget that.

His insides are scalding and on the verge of turning into acid. The mother and son look at their daughter's husband. They start calling his name. Huang Wei Yi tries to grab his shoulder. Fu Sheng pushes him away before the hand can touch him. In the next moment, Huang Wei Yi is in the air. He slams onto the wall and collapses on the ground. Mother Huang screams and runs to her son.

It's only been a few seconds. It is enough to turn a pure vampire into smoke and ashes. Fu Sheng is surprised that he is still alive. The pain is not any less.

Far away, the eight other vampires can also experience the pain. They fall on the spot and writhe on the floor. They gasp for air. It's like something is choking their throats. Though they can't die if their vampire king is killed, they will feel the pain. There is no question. The vampire king has been stabbed by the enchanted wood.

Fu Sheng manages to walk to the kitchen. Huang Qiuyan is standing straight. She is looking at her sister in law with pain and tears in her eyes. She doesn't seem affected by the enchanted wooden dagger on her back. Meng Su Yin is more shocked than anyone in the house. She looks at the creature in front of her. What is she? Why can't she die when she stabbed her with the enchanted wood?

”Why aren't you dying?” Meng Su Yin steps back. ”Don't come close to me. Don't hurt me. Go away, Monster.”

[System: Dear Host, can you slap her for stabbing you in the back literally?]

[Host: She is scared of me. In the past, she always laughed at me for being stupid and weak. Now, she is scared. Why I am upset?]

[System: Dear Host, it is because she can no longer see you as a weak human. You are a monster to her. You are a monster to all humans. You cannot live with them as a family.]

[Host: My family isn't my family anymore.]

Fu Sheng grabs the dagger. It burns his hand, but he doesn't let go. Huang Qiuyan is shocked. She tries to turn around. Fu Sheng grabs her shoulder with his left hand to keep her unmoving. His right hand is turning black. The smell of flesh burning is in the air. He pulls the dagger out of her heart and throws it far away. The dagger disappears in the air and goes back in its owner's hand.

Before he collapses the ground, Huang Qiuyan holds him in her arms.

[Host: What's wrong with him?]

[Host: Hearts are linked? What are you saying?]

[System: Dear Host, something changed in your body when he bit you in the woods during sex. Your bodies and minds are linked. If one of you dies, the other will also die.]
