By lunchtime, Ling Yue actually made braised pork for Feng Ling, and it was especially delicious… so much so that Feng Ling downed three bowls of rice and only stopped when her belly was bulging.
“Was it good?”
Ling Yue asked with a smile.
“It was good… but don’t think this will win me over… If you suck that much next time, I’ll… I’ll…”
Feng Ling said softly.
“You’ll what?”
“I’ll… I’ll ignore you!”
“Oh? Really?”
Ling Yue tilted her head and smiled.
Feng Ling felt a bit guilty under her gaze and said, “R-Really!”
“Then if I don’t suck Little Feng Ling’s blood, whose blood should I suck? Should I buy blood, or find another little girl?”
Ling Yue rested her chin on her hand.
Hearing this, Feng Ling’s chopsticks froze.
“Another girl?”
“I’m just joking~”
Ling Yue picked up her blood cup again and took a sip.
Feng Ling stared at that cup of blood…
And at that moment, she suddenly felt her mouth go dry again…
Even though she had just drunk a full cup.
“What’s wrong? Want some?”
Ling Yue noticed her gaze.
“No…”
“Your eyes say otherwise~”
Then Ling Yue held out the cup and said, “Here, take a sip.”
“I… I don’t want it…”
Feng Ling turned her head away.
“Really?”
“Really…”
With that, Feng Ling quickly lowered her head and started shoveling rice into her mouth.
Ling Yue smiled, then withdrew the cup.
“You know, Little Feng Ling is really adorable~”
But Feng Ling didn’t dare open her mouth now, afraid that if she did, she would blurt out, “Give me a sip right now.”
…
In the afternoon, Feng Ling curled up on the sofa playing a game…
But her character was running around on the screen while her attention was entirely on her own body.
Thirsty…
She was far too thirsty.
Then she secretly glanced at Sister Ling Yue, who was sitting at the other end of the sofa reading a book, not noticing her condition.
So Feng Ling turned her gaze back to the screen.
But she licked her lips again…
So thirsty…
She wanted to drink that sweet red liquid…
She wanted that liquid to moisten her throat…
Once this thought emerged, it grew wildly in her mind like weeds.
She remembered the feeling of drinking that blood this morning…
The satisfaction of every cell in her body cheering…
She really missed it…
She wanted it again.
No, no way!
Feng Ling shook her head forcefully.
She couldn’t become like that… couldn’t lose her mind at the sight of blood…
She was afraid that once the vampire blood inside her truly awakened, she would never be able to leave this birdcage and would forever remain a golden canary deprived of freedom.
After all, Ling Yue was a Progenitor…
And she was currently in a state similar to a half-vampire, not fully under control…
Not yet, in terms of bloodline.
If she became a true vampire, it would mean that on the deepest level of bloodline, she, Xu Fengling, would belong to Ye Lingyue.
“Little Feng Ling.”
Ling Yue’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Ah! What is it!”
Feng Ling quickly turned to look at Ling Yue.
“You’ve been really strange today, spacing out all the time, and your complexion doesn’t look good… Are you feeling unwell?”
Ling Yue asked with concern.
“No, no! I’m fine!”
“Really?”
“Really, really, really!”
Ling Yue stared at her for a few seconds, then came over and said softly, “Open your mouth.”
“…Huh?”
“Open your mouth and let me see.”
Feng Ling hesitated for a moment, then obediently opened her mouth.
Ling Yue bent down and carefully examined her mouth, then sighed, “Just as I thought…”
“What is it?”
“Your two canine teeth have grown about two millimeters longer than before… And your gums are a little red, which means your body is craving more blood.”
“Little Feng Ling, have you been feeling very thirsty all day?”
Ling Yue’s expression turned serious.
“I…”
“Tell me the truth.”
Feng Ling lowered her head and said, “…Yes.”
“Do you want to drink blood?”
“…Yes.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because… because…”
Feng Ling couldn’t find the reason.
“You little fool, you’re a vampire. Thirsting for blood is a normal physiological phenomenon, just like humans needing to eat when they’re hungry… If you hold it in and don’t drink, you’ll only make yourself more and more uncomfortable.”
Ling Yue said helplessly.
“But I already had a cup and a half this morning…”
“That’s not enough. Your body is growing rapidly, so you need more blood now. That cup and a half only maintained your basic functions, far from enough to support your growth needs.”
After saying this, Ling Yue used her fingernail to cut a line on her wrist, letting the tempting fresh blood seep out from the wound.
Feng Ling’s pupils instantly contracted… And in that moment, her mind went completely blank…
Leaving only one thought.
“Come on, drink.”
The next second, Ling Yue brought her wrist to Feng Ling’s lips.
Feng Ling’s bright red eyes stared fixedly at the wound…
That sweet and delicious nectar was slowly flowing down Ling Yue’s pale wrist, making her pant heavily, her fangs growing rapidly.
“No… No way…”
She wanted to retreat, but her body wouldn’t listen.
Her hand lifted on its own, quickly grabbed Ling Yue’s wrist, and Feng Ling pressed her lips against it.
“Mmm—”
The moment the blood flowed into her mouth, Feng Ling felt something explode in her mind…
It was so delicious!
An earth-shattering, peerless delicacy, hundreds of times better than human blood!
At that moment, she drank greedily…
Completely unable to control herself.
Ling Yue’s Primogenitor blood flowed rapidly down her throat, the burning sensation vanishing instantly, replaced by unprecedented satisfaction.
“Drink slowly, don’t choke.”
Ling Yue’s other hand stroked her head.
But Feng Ling couldn’t hear it.
All she knew was to gulp down this supreme delicacy…
And she wanted to drain all the blood from the person before her… to make everything about her belong to her…
“Enough.”
Then Ling Yue withdrew her wrist.
Feng Ling instinctively reached out to grab…
But the next moment, Ling Yue said coldly, “I said enough.”
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Feng Ling’s head, snapping her back to reality.
Now she found her lips covered in blood, and both hands stained with blood…
The wound on Ling Yue’s wrist was healing at a visible rate.
“S-Sorry… I… I couldn’t control myself…”
“It’s fine. After all, Primogenitor blood is a huge temptation for vampires.”
Ling Yue finished speaking, then smiled and pinched her nose.
“Alright, how do you feel now? Still thirsty?”
Feng Ling took a moment to feel, then said, “Not thirsty anymore…”
“Good. From now on, if you’re thirsty, tell me. Don’t hold it in… I can’t give you Primogenitor blood often, but I have plenty of regular blood. You can drink as much as you want.”
Ling Yue said softly.
“…Why can’t I drink Primogenitor blood often?”
“Because the power is too strong… You can’t handle too much yet. If you drink too much, you’ll die from your body exploding.”
“Huh? Die from explosion?!”
“Just kidding.”
“Is that true or false?!”
“Guess.”
After that, Feng Ling glared at Ling Yue angrily.
Ling Yue looked back at her with a smile.
After they stared at each other for a few seconds, Feng Ling backed down first.
“Fine, fine… Asking you won’t get me anywhere… I won’t ask anymore…”
“But Little Feng Ling, the way you drank blood just now was really adorable~”
“How is that adorable?!”
“The way you endured the blood thirst so painfully but kept holding it in… That look of suppressing yourself was truly adorable…”
She then pressed her lips close to Feng Ling’s ear, “But don’t hold it in next time.”
“You are my belonging, so of course your body is also mine… You must tell me anything that happens to you, because taking care of you is my responsibility. Understand?”
Her voice was very gentle now.
But it still made Feng Ling’s body stiffen…
Because what Ling Yue said—”You are my belonging”—reminded her of the previous cycle…
That Sister Ling Yue who laughed while thrusting her finger through her heart…
The terrifying Sister Ling Yue.
“I understand…” she whispered.
“Be a good girl~”
Then Ling Yue bit her ear again.
“Ah! It hurts… It hurts so much…”
