117 Want your blood in return (1/2)

”Lady Huang, do you want to drink mine?” Though there's a solemn look in his eyes, the corner of his lips curls up into a mellow smile.

”I don't…” Huang Qiuyan resists the urge. As Fu Sheng's mate, she shouldn't bite someone else. She can endure it.

”You rejected the king, right?” Kai sits beside her. ”Before he formally accepts you again, there won't be any repercussion if you drink my blood.”

Xiao Chun Dan holds her hand again, trying to go back inside her mind. He can't get inside or see what's going inside her body. She is showing a pained expression. He can't even tell where she is hurting. Why can't he go back inside her mind?

Hesitant and silent, she touches her throat again. The intense burning in her throat is torturous. She doesn't know how long she can bear it. When will Fu Sheng come back? She doesn't want to drink another vampire's blood.

Wondering whether she can resist the scent of blood or not, Kai leans closer to her. He whispers in her ear, ”We can keep this a secret from him if you want.”

”Hey!” Xiao Chun Dan yells. From the start, he's been feeling that something isn't right with this man. ”Why does it have to be a secret? She's not doing anything wrong.”

She gulps. She can hold back. If she waits for a little longer, Fu Sheng will be back. She eyes his pale throat. Can she hold back? The thirst inside her is growing stronger. Her mind is falling into a haze. She bends down her head, inhaling his scent. Her soft breath tickles his skin. He fists his hands and closes his eyes, waiting for her. All of a sudden, she pushes him away. Hard.

Panting as if she had run for miles, she looks at him with furious eyes. ”What do you want from me?”

He smiles. She's quite intuitive. ”I want your blood in return.”

”Why?” Xiao Chun Dan wraps his arms around his host, shielding her from the man's view. All the purebloods are strange. That's why he doesn't like this place. The boy looks at him with distrust. ”What are you going to do with her blood?”

”I will run a few tests.” Kai grins at the pair of host and system. ”Lady Huang is special. I want to know where her abilities come from. Blood for blood? Fair deal, isn't?”

He could have taken her blood when she was unconscious. But, he can't forget the fact that she's the king's mate. Spending his future in the torture chamber doesn't seem like a good idea. He's been waiting for her to wake up, hoping to become her friend and ask for some of her blood later. Alas! He might have underestimated her. Even if she's not clever, she has strong instincts.

”No.” Xiao Chun Dan refuses. He can tolerate Fu Sheng drinking his host's blood since that man is her mate. This person? No way! His host already went through a life and death situation. She doesn't need crazy people who ask for her blood around her.

”What kind of tests?” Huang Qiuyan stares at Kai.

”Xiao Chun Dan, I am not a child.” She frowns at the boy. The fear and worry are clear on the boy's face. Why is he like that? ”Fu Sheng's people won't hurt me. But, I do appreciate honesty.”
