Chapter 202 It smells so good, can I drink your blood?
Since that day, Tronos inexplicably developed some new habits.
He casually let the clouds block out the glare of the sun, which was affecting his reading.
Also, while you're at it, clear out the overgrown weeds and branches in the Misty Forest that are likely to prick you.
And, he would drive the wild animals that had multiplied too much and were running around in the forest all day, causing him trouble, into the traps.
Aside from that, it's probably just that, incidentally or occasionally, I'll catch a glimpse of a vampire who spends all day playing happily with human children.
Even though he was already an adult before becoming a vampire, he could still lead a group of children with an average age of less than 8 years old to run wild and run around the forest.
After they finished running, they put on their adult airs and scolded this person for tearing their clothes and that person for getting mud on their face.
Ha, if it weren't for his help, she wouldn't be in much better shape.
After the fighting was over, the children were made to say nice things to each other.
Whoever speaks the best gets the most candy.
I guess all the words of praise she learned in school were used on her.
……
Life went on as usual, and Tronos endured two more full moons during that time.
These two times, he didn't deliberately cut his hand.
Lin Shuwan was no longer tempted by his blood to wake up in the middle of the night to soak in the pool.
However, even without bleeding, Lin Shuwan is finding it increasingly difficult to control herself whenever she passes by him.
The distance between us at the dining table is getting further and further.
Recently, he has even locked himself in his room and only sends a puppet upstairs to deliver blood.
Blood intake is increasing day by day, but there is little feeling of fullness.
It's like a hungry person drinking several large glasses of water all at once; they feel full, but the emptiness is even stronger.
In Tronos, Lin Shuwan was no longer around, which should have been a good thing.
He was happy to have some peace and quiet now that there was no one constantly chattering in his ear.
But something inexplicably felt off.
He had never seen a vampire act like this before.
Today was a rare occasion; after the puppet took away her empty cup, Lin Shuwan followed it downstairs.
However, she wore a veil on her head, and the lower half of her face was also covered with a veil.
Lin Shuwan stood at the top of the stairs, ten meters away from Tronos, and greeted him from afar: "Uh, good morning."
"Going out?" Tronos looked at her.
It smells so good, I really want it.
Lin Shuwan gripped the railing tightly, her nails almost digging into the wood: "Yes, we made an appointment to pick up the clothes today."
"This little thing can make Xiaomu..."
Tronos casually used the term Lin Shuwan usually used to refer to the puppet, and coughed awkwardly, "Ahem, I mean, if the puppet is going to do it, your current condition isn't very good."
Lin Shuwan hesitated for a moment, but still refused his suggestion: "Let's not. There might be some things that need to be revised. It would be better if I went to take a look myself. Besides, I promised Lunette that I would bring her some strawberry-flavored candy."
"Suit yourself." Tronos frowned and ignored her.
Lin Shuwan quickly walked past Tronos, but before leaving, she turned back to explain, "Actually, you don't need to worry. I just couldn't control myself when I smelled your scent. When I'm with other people, as long as I don't smell blood, I'm fine."
"I didn't..." Tronos denied it outright, but Lin Shuwan had already disappeared.
Tronos, seemingly in a fit of pique, ignored the sunlight outside, picked up a book, but couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.
After a long while, he threw the book aside in frustration, shielded himself from the not-so-bright sun, and then retrieved a mirror from a distance. The image of Lin Shuwan at that moment appeared in the mirror.
(You can see it directly while you're in the Misty Forest, but if you're a little further away, you'll need a medium (like a mirror) to display the image.)
Just as she said, she is doing much better now that she is away from him.
"Add another layer of lace to the hem of this outfit."
"I would also like a matching blue veil and sheer gloves for this outfit."
"Oh, right, there's also this pink one and that white one. The pearls on the skirts aren't enough; they need more."
"I'll just wear this outfit I'm wearing. As for the rest, just wrap them up."
Lin Shuwan removed the veil from her face, stood in front of the mirror, and looked at herself from left to right with great satisfaction.
The tailor Emily noted down Lin Shuwan's request and replied, "Alright, it's only because Miss Aurora is so beautiful that the dress didn't overshadow her. Anyone else would not have been able to pull it off."
"I love hearing that." Lin Shuwan happily cupped her face, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons.
"Alright, I'll be going now. I'll come back to pick up the altered clothes the day after tomorrow. It should be ready in two days, right?"
“Of course,” Emily readily agreed.
“My little shop doesn’t usually have many customers. These days, I’m so grateful for your frequent visits. Otherwise, I would only be able to take odd jobs, and I don’t know how I would raise Kailan and Alice by myself.”
Lin Shuwan's expression darkened for a moment, a flicker of unknown emotion flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "Hmph, I just thought your cooking skills were pretty good."
Emily smiled gently. Having spent some time with her, she had long since discovered that Miss Aurora was all bark and no bite.
She escorted Lin Shuwan to the door and was about to hand over the clothes when she was horrified by what she saw.
She hurriedly threw off her clothes and ran towards Lin Shuwan, shouting, "Kailan, get out of the way!!"
Lin Shuwan turned around and saw that the horse, which had suddenly gone out of control, was charging forward like a madman, knocking over many shops' goods along the way, but its speed did not decrease.
Emily's eldest son, Kaylan, happened to be walking in the middle of the road when he tripped over something and fell to the ground. He tried to run away but was so frightened that his limbs went weak and he couldn't get up for a long time.
"Kailan—"
Emily was far away from Kalan, and it looked like Crazy Horse was about to trample over Kalan without a care in the world.
Lin Shuwan disregarded everything else and, just before the horse's hooves were about to step on her, quickly grabbed Kailan, rolled a few times on the ground, and dodged away.
However, despite her careful protection of Kailan in her arms, Kailan's arm still scraped against the ground, drawing blood.
"So hungry."
Lin Shuwan's fangs grew out uncontrollably.
"Ah, a monster, a monster!"
"A demon, she is a demon!"
The townspeople were shocked. Kailan, who was in Lin Shuwan's arms, was directly confronted with Lin Shuwan's change and cried out in fright, "Waaah, Mommy, I'm scared!"
Emily took a half step back, both shocked and frightened by this unexpected turn of events, but her maternal love for her child outweighed everything else.
"Kalan, Kailan, my child, you demon, please let Kailan go."
She squeezed through the fleeing crowd to stand in front of Lin Shuwan, forcefully pulled Kailan from Lin Shuwan's arms, and retreated while looking at her warily.
With the "food" so close at hand snatched away, Lin Shuwan, somewhat losing her mind after smelling blood, looked up and glared fiercely at Emily.
"Ah, her eyes have turned red!"
"Run! Run! The demon is going to eat people!"
"Help me."
"Run."
People who had been hiding behind windows and doors to watch the commotion in the houses along the road suddenly slammed their doors and windows shut and braced themselves against them.
"Demon, get out!" In the attic to Lin Shuwan's left, a little boy took the opportunity before his father closed the window to throw the apple he had just taken a few bites at straight in Lin Shuwan's direction.
Just as the apple was about to hit Lin Shuwan, it was swung away.
Tronos appeared just in time, blocking Lin Shuwan's path. He glanced at the closed window with a gloomy look in his eyes, then picked up Lin Shuwan and carried her back to the Misty Forest.
