110 To raise a proper princess (1/2)

She resolved it nicely. The corners of his lips curl up. She's going to be a good mother. He walks toward her. ”Why are you here?”

”I wanted to read.” Huang Qiuyan returns his smile and takes his hand. From the sidelines, Xiao Chun Dan and Fu Mian watch them. They already look like husband and wife. Xiao Chun Dan pouts while Fu Mian squeals in happiness. This is what she wanted to see. Her father is finally happy.

”I didn't know that you like reading.” He pulls her by her arm and coils his arm around her waist. He looks into her eyes. ”Read something to me next time. I like hearing your voice.”

”Mommy, I also want to hear you read.” Fu Mian runs toward her. ”Read it to us every day.”

Huang Qiuyan isn't much of a reader, but she doesn't mind doing this. She smiles at Fu Mian. ”Princess, I will read a story to you every day.”

Xiao Chun Dan rolls his eyes. He notices Fu Sheng's eyes on him. He shrugs and looks away. He mumbles with a faint voice, ”I won't make trouble.”

He won't do anything only if it isn't against his host's survival.

”Let's go.” Fu Sheng holds Fu Mian's hand with his other left hand and walks out of the library with Huang Qiuyan. Xiao Chun Dan follows them with a grumpy face. No matter what, he just doesn't like this. He can't say anything either. His host seems to forget about her predicament in this passing happiness. She's easily swayed by emotions. He sighs. He checks on her vitals. So far, there are no abnormalities.

With dark circles around her eyes, Sung Na-Mi sighs when she looks at the meal. She doesn't have the appetite. They are immortal beings. Do they need to eat?

”You don't know when you will eat next time.” Sung Se-Yong takes a bite of the artificial meat. He is amazed that they have the technology at the castle. The meat almost tastes real. ”Eat, my idiot sister. Though that place is closest to this castle, we don't know how long it will take before we come back.”

Holding a silver glass of blood, Klyn leans forward toward the table. His eyes are full of sparkle. ”Miss Sung, your brother is right. Even if you are an immortal, your constitution is mostly human.”

She hasn't chosen a path yet. She doesn't want to choose either. As an immortal, if she takes the path of light, she will either end up as a sage or a god. The path to godhood is difficult. If she takes the path of darkness, she has to give up heaven's blessing.  Whether it's the path of light or darkness, she finds both paths unsuitable for her. She's fine being only immortal. Her parents and brothers are also okay with her choice.

Se-Yong gives Klyn a look. Klyn turns his head away and finishes his drink. Seeing him lick the blood on his lips, Na-Mi wonders why she dislikes looking at this guy. Is it his sparkling eyes or that annoying smile? She has this urge to launch a kick on that face. Why does she want to do that?

Despite noticing Klyn's starstruck gazes toward his sister, Se-Yong isn't least worried. Fu Sheng did worry him, but flies like Klyn are common. He's sure that someone like Klyn can never attract his perfect sister.

”Is something on my face, Miss Sung?” Klyn cocks his head with a slow smile.

”There's blood here.” Sung Na-Mi points at her lips. ”Clean yourself properly.”

A red hue appears on the bridge of Klyn's nose. He wipes his lips, embarrassed in front of her. Even if she likes women only, he doesn't want to act in an unmanly way in front of her.
