120 The moment her blood comes in contact with you (1/2)
”Mommy.” Fu Mian runs toward Huang Qiuyan with sparkling eyes. She raises her arms up, wanting to get picked up by her mother. She's been missing her father. But her mother is here. She beams at her and asks with a chirpy tone, ”Will you read this book to me?”
Smiling, Huang Qiuyan bends down to pick up Fu Mian. The scent of sweet peaches wafts into her nose. Fu Mian has always smelled like that. It's nothing new. She sits down on her knees, leaning closer toward Fu Mian, wanting to hug her daughter all of a sudden. The gentle smile on Huang Qiuyan's face turns wider. Her eyes gleam green. A low growl escapes her lips.
”No!” Xiao Chun Dan shouts and pulls Fu Mian by the back of her shirt's collar. Fu Mian's body falls on the floor. Huang Qiuyan grabs Xiao Chun Dan and bites his shoulder. He cries out in pain. ”Host, get a grip.”
She doesn't let go. Her teeth sink deeper into his shoulder. Xiao Chun Dan isn't flesh and bones. His body is made up of a special element that's only found in the advanced world of the system developers. Huang Qiuyan can't taste the blood. Her eyes begin to gain clarity. The boy is shaking. Why did she bite Xiao Chun Dan? She moves away and looks at him with horror. Fu Mian is staring at her with an ashen face. The child's eyes are full of fear. Huang Qiuyan touches her canines. Did she try to bite Fu Mian?
”What did I do?”
”Host, you --” Before Xiao Chun Dan can finish his words, Huang Qiuyan's eyes turn green again. She pounces toward Fu Mian who covers her face with her hands and screams. Xiao Chun Dan steps between her and Fu Mian. Huang Qiuyan pins him down on the ground and crushes his shoulders. His painful cries rouse her awake. She looks down at him with shock
What did she do again? Why can't she remember it?
”Host, please control yourself.” Ignoring the pain, Xiao Chun Dan begs her, ”You shouldn't drink Fu Mian's blood. You will die the moment her blood comes in contact with you.”
She inhales and exhales. What did he just say? She looks at Fu Mian who is still on the floor and quivering like a frightened rabbit. Huang Qiuyan's heart drops to her stomach. Did she attack Fu Mian?
The scent of Fu Mian's blood drifts to her. Huang Qiuyan's nails dig into her palms. Fu Mian's elbow is scraped. She looks at Fu Mian with a creased forehead. ”Fu Mian, let me see.”
”Mommy, you are also like them,” Fu Mian utters with a tearful face. She doesn't want to get close to Huang Qiuyan. At the moment, Huang Qiuyan's face is as white as alabaster. Her slightly opened mouth exposes the canines. Just a few moments ago, her eyes had a feral look. Fu Mian has seen the same feral look in those lost converts who always tried to hunt her for her blood. Her mother is the same. She also wants to drink her blood.
”I-I didn't…” meant to. She stutters, unable to finish her words. Her eyes become wet when she hears Fu Mian's bawling in fear. Noah lifts the princess in his arms. He doesn't wait and whizzes through the air.
