31 Bloody Kiss (1/2)

-Fan Daiyu-

[I really thought that I would be loved in this life but it appears to have been an unanswered wish. I'm sure my mother loves me for now but she hasn't had the time to be with me and soon her love will dwindle too. I'm almost two years old but I feel like no child would want to go through a life like mine. I'm trying my best to work hard for my parents but I'm not sure If that's what they want from me. Ercan am I the one who's in the wrong? Am I not doing something right?]

{I don't think it's you. I think it's you father. He seems… different.}

[I noticed too but isn't that just the lack of love for me now?]

{Maybe.}

Ercan could feel her loneliness and disappointment, so he tried to cheer her up.

{Remember. You still have Bambi and that lower grade dragon kid.}

[He has a name you know. Long Wei.]

{Yeah. Whatever. He's just a lower grade dragon. I'm more powerful than him. I might look small but that's only for now. Haven't you seen my growth. Look at me! I'm already this big! I'm a mighty dragon snake.}

Fan Daiyu giggled at the little guy's jealousy.

But it was true. It had only been a year and the hand sized fellow was already up to her waist. He was around a foot and four inches.

[You're a little too big for my taste]

{I can change size you know. I am amazing after all.}

She laughed.

Seeing her mood brighten two dragons sighed in relief.

-May 17th-

Early in the morning a commotion began. Nuwa Yenay was screaming from pain. She was about to give birth. Fan Ying paced the house back and forth in impatience and his back filled up in nervous sweat.

Fan Daiyu woke up with a knowing smile.

[My sibling will be out and my mommy won't be so busy. They will love me and daddy will forgive me for whatever I did]

She changed quickly with the help of Bambi and ran to get Long Wei. She walked speedily and pulled Mallory with her.

”Missus, calm down. We can walk there.”

”Bambi you need more energy. My little sibling will be born, it's a joyous day! Come let's hurry. Oh and I already told you not to call me missus or miss or anything like that. We are friends okay.”

She smiled brightly and Mallory felt blinded by her brightness.

[Miss. You saved me. You are my savior. I owe you my happiness. I owe you my life. I have to at least give you my respect.]

She was the oldest yet she felt like Daiyu had lived beyond her age. She was so wise, strong, and independent. She was spoiled and quickly abandoned for a new child and yet she never complained. She always gave out her best smile and prayed for the best even though she would cry at times when she thought no one was listening.

[My little miss is so strong.]

She was dragged along and soon reached a familiar door. This was where they would all meet up at night. Long Wei had found an underground room so they would always meet up at his room whenever they were at the brink of breaking through. However, they didn't know that he hadn't found it. He made it just for Daiyu. They opened the door and sure enough, he was waiting there like always. Moreover, like always he seemed tired out for some unknown reason.

If only Daiyu knew that he was tired because he left her side to climb up his room through the window so that no one noticed, what would she have said? He couldn't use his wings since it was a secret and he wanted to be cautious and he couldn't use his cultivation because it would reveal his level. He thought that reaching the eighth level too quickly would bring about suspicions but he had yet to know that when he only climbed up two levels, Daiyu had already reached him by climbing up four.

Fan Daiyu ignored his tired state and took his hand along with Mallory's hand and both of them looked at each other in annoyance.

[It's him again. He is always taking my missus' attention away from me.]

[Ughh. Her again. Always trying to hog my future wife away from me.]

Despite their mutual rivalry, they still cared for each other like normal childhood friends.

Fan Daiyu pulled them both and ran to her mother's room.

She ran but on her way there she bumped into her father and fell backwards.

”Ouch~”

She rubbed her small red nose and looked up at her father. Her eyes widened and her mouth gaped open. However, when she blinked his expression was normal again.

[E-Ercan. Did you see his face. I bumped into him and I I I saw hatred. Hatred directed at me.]

{I know. I'm sorry.}

[M-Maybe I can f-fix it. Maybe he'll forgive m-me.]

She kneeled her way to him.

”F-Father. I-I'm s-sorry I wasn't looking, I-It was an a-accident.”

She reached out to grab his hand but he pushed her away.

”Take her away. She's getting in the way.”

Long Wei and Mallory could only look at Daiyu's shocked expression as they carried her away. Each took one of her arms but the moment they did they felt a heart breaking. It wasn't theirs. It was Fan Daiyu's.

They knew their miss wasn't normal so they could only look at one another and share their worries.
