"Of course, there’s nothing more important to than your great-aunt!" Jiang Nuo said, gazing affectionately at Mu Qiuniang.
Mu Qiuniang returned the gaze, her eyes full of tenderness.
This café offered many special dishes, and since Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang were not familiar with them, most were recomnded by Mu Feng.
Of course, Mu Mingyu also contributed, even though he was Mu Qiuniang’s butler, he was also an elder to Mu Feng.
Just as everyone was chatting happily and the atmosphere was harmonious, Mu Qiuniang suddenly asked, "Did you start dating?"
Mu Feng was taken aback. Although he didn’t know how the great-aunt had found out, as this matter was still secret and not yet public, he nodded.
"How did you know, great-aunt?"
"You’re not living at school; you have an apartnt outside, right?"
Mu Feng nodded, "When I moved here for school, the family arranged it and also provided a butler for ."
"I an your other apartnt."
"How did you know about that, great-aunt?" Surely she didn’t investigate before coming?
"I calculated it!"
Mu Feng wanted to laugh, "Great-aunt, you’re really joking!"
"I’m not joking with you!" As she spoke, Mu Qiuniang raised her hand, and a white light shot from her palm onto the wall of the booth, forming a pale blue barrier.
Mu Feng incredulously reached out to touch it, feeling sothing as ripples spread out from where his fingertips touched the pale blue surface.
"What is this?" he asked in astonishnt.
Mu Qiuniang replied, "I thought you already knew."
"Didn’t you know your great-aunt is a Cultivator?" Jiang Nuo also asked with a smile.
Mu Feng shook his head, "I didn’t know, no one ever told about this."
Mu Mingyu explained, "Great-aunt, great-uncle, and great-aunt decided not to announce that you and she are Cultivators to the Mu family’s descendants without your permission. Currently, only a very few people know."
"Well done!" Mu Qiuniang praised. If they had announced it to the world without her consent, she’d be displeased.
"You all have done a great job keeping it secret, quite unexpected. I thought most people in the family already knew."
After all, from Jiang Nuo’s impression, very few people in the Mu family he had interacted with seed unaware.
Upon hearing their conversation, Mu Feng asked, "So, most of the family knows, but I’m just one of them who doesn’t?"
"You could say that. However, in your generation, most in the first and second houses know, but your third house family, since they’re not often ho, likely have no way of knowing," Mu Mingyu said.
"Then why suddenly tell now?"
Jiang Nuo was also quite puzzled, "Why, dear?"
"He has the aura of a vampire on him," Mu Qiuniang said.
"Are there really vampires in this world?" Mu Feng couldn’t believe it.
"What’s the big deal? Both I and your great-aunt are Cultivators, so why couldn’t there be vampires in this world?" Jiang Nuo laughed.
Mu Feng nodded, "That does make sense, but great-aunt, I’m at school every day; how could I possibly encounter such a thing? Surely vampires haven’t infiltrated our school?"
"Impossible? You’ve already been bitten by one, and it hasn’t even been three days; otherwise, you wouldn’t have such a strong scent of blood on you." Mu Qiuniang frowned slightly, now very displeased.
Because the aura on Mu Feng showed that his ti with that vampire was still very short.
Otherwise, he would have been drained, and wouldn’t have lasted until now.
Moreover, during Old Master Mu’s recent grand birthday celebration, she had clearly checked Mu Feng’s body and found no issues, nor detected the presence of a vampire.
Which ans this happened after Old Master Mu’s birthday.
"It... Can’t be, right? I haven’t been with any strangers recently."
"It doesn’t have to be a stranger, it could also be soone familiar!" Jiang Nuo said naturally.
Just like him, if he doesn’t say, who would know he’s a Cultivator?
Of course, except for those like his wife, who can see through others with just one glance.
"Not... possible, right?" A figure flashed across Mu Feng’s mind because he had been with her these days.
She was a very seductive, charming blonde woman, definitely not lacking pursuers, yet she ultimately chose him, even actively pursuing him.
He had asked her why she chose him with so many excellent pursuers.
She said, "Because you’re Mu Feng!"
"Huh?"
"Because you’re Mu Feng, so I’ll only like you!"
...
"Have you never suspected her?" Mu Qiuniang’s voice continued in his ear.
Mu Feng had his suspicions, even though she claid to be from the sa school as him, she never attended with him, nor told him which departnt she was in, and he never visited her departnt.
All their etings were outside sowhere or at so place on campus, sotis by chance, sotis at agreed tis and places.
After they got together, they moved into the apartnt his father had arranged off campus, never returning to the Mu family estate.
She seed to have ample free ti to spend with him, always able to wait for him at the door or halfway ho whenever he finished school.
Moreover, whenever they were intimate, it was always with the lights off, and he could never recall how he fell asleep. The only impression was that intoxicating feeling, as if he’d consud so addictive drug from which he couldn’t extricate himself.
"If you had suspicions, why not verify them?" Mu Qiuniang asked him.
"Great-aunt, did you specifically co to find for this?" Mu Feng asked.
Mu Qiuniang shook her head, "Recently, the Mu family’s descendants haven’t been very peaceful, and as I’m in the area attending an event, I decided to co see your living environnt."
She didn’t say that she’d already vaguely known there was a vampire by his side before, but since it seed to hold no malice, she hadn’t done anything.
But now, it appeared this vampire had indeed fed on Mu Feng’s blood and marked him—this was its prey!
Therefore, even if other vampires targeted Mu Feng, they’d have to consider the existence of this vampire, unwilling to act rashly. Otherwise, it would have to be confident it could defeat this one.
However, the number of modern vampires wasn’t large, and they were internally prohibited from killing each other. Without absolute certainty, they wouldn’t provoke trouble.
Thus, usually, vampires wouldn’t snatch prey marked by others.
"Not very peaceful?" Mu Feng was puzzled.
"This hasn’t been announced to the whole family yet, but," Mu Mingyu explained, "great-aunt appeared this ti because the family is facing a crisis, especially in your generation. Many have been targeted by strange people or events, and we can’t handle it alone."
"Why have I never heard of this?" Although he had always lived abroad, he was quite concerned about family affairs.
After all, that was where his father was born and raised, and it was also the most wonderful place in his childhood mories.
Although he had no mother and was brought back by his father to the Mu family, the elders there never treated him as an outsider, and those siblings didn’t shy away either, teasing and amusing him like he had been living with them from the start.
