Gradually, he let go of his guard and truly integrated into that family.
The one who impressed him the most was probably his cousin Mu Bai, who was a few years older than him, lively and mischievous, but very protective. She could bully them rcilessly, but never allowed outsiders to do so; otherwise, she would run to the elders to complain.
Her way of complaining was also very special. She would always make herself appear pitiful and run to the adults of the other kids: "Boo hoo... Why does your child always hit ? I’ve moved away so far, yet they still run over to hit . It’s too much. I’m going to tell Grandpa..."
A soft and timid little girl, even when bullied badly, is still adorable, making the adults feel very protective.
Or perhaps it was her last sentence that was crucial — I’m going to tell Grandpa, making these adults wary. My goodness! Of all people, never offend the only little Princess of the Mu family. Doesn’t everyone know that Old Master Mu doesn’t spoil his sons or grandsons, only this one granddaughter?
So, the "kid" who bullied the little girl would be severely scolded by the adults and brought to the Mu family’s door to apologize.
"The other party is acting very discreetly, and we have no evidence. To avoid alerting them, we’ve been pretending not to know," Mu Mingyu continued, "Last ti, it was during a mission when Ah Cheng was in danger; soone secretly intervened. Including your cousin Qing Tang, who is now followed by a malicious ghost, constantly engaged in a battle of wits, pretending to know nothing to confuse the enemy."
"A malicious ghost? Is cousin Qing Tang okay?" Mu Feng was startled. He was dealing with a vampire, while cousin Qing Tang was dealing with a ghost?
How did cousin Qing Tang manage to endure it?
"No problem! Your great-aunt not only gave him a dagger for protection but also multiple amulets. The last ti he got in trouble was because he gave the amulet to soone else. Do you rember the amulet? Last ti on Old Master Mu’s big birthday, your great-aunt gave each of you Mu family boys one." Jiang Nuo said.
"That milky white jade ring?"
"Yes, that’s it."
Mu Feng felt a bit embarrassed: "It was the first gift my great-aunt gave . I was afraid of damaging it by wearing it, so I put it away when I got back to school."
"Didn’t I tell you, you must wear it?"
"Should I go back and wear it now?"
"Yes!" Mu Qiuniang nodded, "Besides, I’ll give you a silver-made dagger for self-defense. When you encounter danger, just take it out, and it will work if you drip a drop of blood on it."
The dagger Mu Qiuniang took out was small, just a finger-length long, easily attachable to a backpack or a keychain as a decorative item.
Although he had been fascinated by magic films as a child, seeing this made Mu Feng feel impossible to associate it with a weapon capable of harming vampires.
Jiang Nuo seed to see through his thoughts and said with a smile, "This is its dormant state. Until it’s activated with blood, it remains sealed like an ordinary decoration. It’s easier for you to carry this way."
"Thank you, great-aunt and great-uncle!"
"Don’t thank . I can’t even handle this stuff. It’s all your great-aunt’s doing. She has many good items in her hand, and only you silly person doesn’t wear it imdiately but treats it as a collectible, losing its original purpose."
"Great-uncle, this ti I will definitely wear it." Mu Feng promised.
Although his great-aunt didn’t ntion his girlfriend, Mu Feng had already realized she might really be a vampire!
It’s just that she poses no imdiate life threat to him; otherwise, with his Mu surna, his great-aunt wouldn’t just sit by!
Besides, Uncle Mu Mingyu hadn’t said anything.
Mu Feng felt a bit heavy-hearted.
He didn’t know what it ant for his girlfriend to be a vampire, but he knew—they no longer belong to the sa world!
Mu Mingyu also gave him an example, saying his cousin Mu Bai t a very special suitor, a cultivator. However, since Mu Bai couldn’t cultivate, they belonged to different worlds and couldn’t end up together in the end (not ntioning many details in between).
Cousin’s suitor is a cultivator, and even his great-aunt couldn’t do anything; then what about his vampire girlfriend?
Is there hope for them?
When he returned to his residence, it was already late. He looked up and saw the villa lights on, warm and orange.
He knew she must have prepared a delicious al, waiting for him to return.
Once, orange light was the color he longed for and found the warst, but now...
"You’re back?"
A blonde girl in a backless rmaid dress enthusiastically threw herself into his arms.
"Luna!" Mu Feng held her, his lips curving slightly.
Before, whenever he saw her, he would be very happy, but this ti...
"Feng, today I made your favorite sweet and sour ribs. It’s my first ti, so it might not taste great, but I hope you’ll like it." Her arms wrapped around his neck, almost hanging on him, pouting tenderly.
Her chest was voluptuous, her waist slender as a willow, and her fair thighs revealed through the high slit of her rmaid dress, seductive.
Mu Feng, a normal man, couldn’t help but swallow hard, turning his head away, avoiding looking at her: "Oh! Since you just started learning Chinese cuisine, I don’t dare to have high hopes, but since you made it, I’ll definitely try so."
"Feng, don’t you think I look pretty today?"
"Yes! You look very pretty!" He wasn’t blind; such an obvious style, how could he not notice?
The small romances and surprises she ca up with, he was already used to.
Normally, he would not only praise her beauty but probably get handsy, starting to flirt.
But today, he wasn’t in the mood.
"But Feng, why aren’t you looking at ? Do I look strange today?" Luna wondered.
"It’s not your problem."
"Are you troubled? Sorry, I didn’t notice just now." Saying this, Luna climbed off him, poured him a glass of water, "I think you might need a drink right now."
"Thank you!" Mu Feng took it and drank it in one go.
He placed the cup on the table, feeling unsettled because he had no idea how to bring it up.
"Can you tell ? Maybe I could be a good listener!" Luna said gently, without prying into his matters.
"It’s about you!"
Luna froze for a mont. "You don’t like anymore?"
This was her first reaction because apart from this, she couldn’t think of anything so serious that he couldn’t speak.
"If you’ve t soone else you like, I won’t mind. You just need to tell clearly. I won’t make things difficult for you..."
Although she said this, as she spoke, Luna’s eyes reddened, and tears began to fall.
