Red, gem-like eyes.

It coincided with the pair of eyes that Lan Qi remembered not long ago.

If he hadn't had that experience, he would have thought that this was a prank on her part, and that she had deliberately worn colored contact lenses.

But he still remembered that vague memory, and now it seemed as if the fog had been cleared and it was gradually becoming clearer.

It must have been her who appeared there that day.

Maybe he already knew this subconsciously.

Lan Qi didn't feel the slightest bit surprised now, but just lost consciousness for a moment, staring blankly into her eyes.

...looks very good.

I didn't think of anything else.

When he came to his senses, he remembered to reply to her, but he didn't know why she asked such a question.

"No..." Lan Qi answered frankly, with some doubt in his eyes, and did not avoid her gaze.

"You didn't faint from fright." Tingqiao pinched his chin lightly, feeling surprised by his reaction.

When White Snake showed her tail, Xu Xian fainted. How could he not be afraid?

Isn't that scary enough?

Lan Qi: "...Why did you faint?"

Tingqiao glanced at the bird lying on the ground, bleeding miserably. This scene clearly looked like a murder scene, but he wasn't panicking at all?

She pointed at Youniao. "You see he's dying, and then—"

Tingqiao smiled at him, opening his eyes and slightly revealing his sharp teeth.

"That's it."

“…Not scary.”

Lan Qi was not disturbed at all... No, his heart skipped a beat.

If you ask me why, it’s probably because I’m touched by how cute she is.

Youniao silently turned his head away, feeling depressed.

I always feel that he shouldn't be here now.

But the wound was so painful that he couldn't help but speak, "Your Highness, how can I heal this injury?"

My arm has not grown back and my body still hurts.

Tingqiao pulled Youniao up from the floor, then cut his finger and tapped him on the back, "The stuff that was spilled on you was made mainly of Fulins' blood. Her blood was not absorbed by you, but was fighting against your blood, so it suppressed your recovery."

"Okay, go wash your clothes now, you should be back to normal in a while."

The method she used was very simple, which was to use her own blood to suppress Florins' blood.

Youniao relaxed when he heard that, "Then I'll go first." Then he left quickly.

Apart from anything else, there are no clothes for him here, so he can't come out naked, right?

As for how he left, he still didn't go through the main door.

This time, Lan Qi finally understood why Zhou Jueming said that he really didn't see anyone coming out of the door that day.

But now, he doesn't care much anymore.

Tingqiao walked back to his original seat and sat down, "Your reaction is different from what I expected."

Lan Qi also sat down and said softly, "I've seen him in the stairwell..."

Tingqiao blinked. She didn't expect that he could still remember so much, even though the method she used was not very sophisticated.

"So now you know that I'm not a human?" Ting Qiao suddenly moved to the side until she was close to him, and she deliberately raised her head to get closer to him.

They were so close that they could even hear each other's breathing.

Every move seemed to be exchanging breath.

...like a kiss.

There was a sudden dull pain in the chest, and Lan Qi felt that he could no longer control his body.

"Your face is so red," Tingqiao laughed, "Why don't you answer my question?"

She raised her hand and poked his shoulder lightly.

"You are... a vampire." Lan Qi replied mechanically, but he didn't dare to look her in the eye. However, at such a close distance, he had no way to avoid it.

Tingqiao laughed again. She felt that if he remained in this daze, they would not be able to continue the conversation properly.

She moved a little further to the side, leaving an empty seat between her and him.

Lan Qi felt relieved but also felt regretful.

Seeing that his expression had finally calmed down, Tingqiao asked, "You actually know about the existence of the vampire race?"

Lan Qi explained: "It was also after that stairwell experience that I asked a friend..."

The existence of the blood clan was not made public, and his friend did not say it explicitly, but only hinted at it. Later, he learned that there was such a department...

"I see," Tingqiao shook his legs, "In that case, what do you want to ask me now? I can answer you."

Lan Qi lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at her, "So you have nothing to do with Lin Ji."

Did you ask it several times?

Tingqiao pulled the corner of his mouth, "Yeah, it's okay."

She deliberately added, "I am related to your ancestors."

Lan Qi: “…”

My mood took a sharp turn for the worse.

After appreciating the changes in his expression for a while, Tingqiao said leisurely, "It should be considered a superior-subordinate relationship."

Lan Qi was in a daze after seeing this up and down movement. "Is this so..."

Seeing him like this, Tingqiao knew that he had missed the point, so he stretched out his hand and pulled his cheek to emphasize: "Your ancestors are vampires."

Really, shouldn't we pay attention to this first?

Lan Qi: “…Uh.”

He really didn't notice that.

Tingqiao thought that she should not ask him any more questions, so she decided to just say it herself.

"Your ancestor was called Severin. He was one of the vampires who followed me to fight against the lich. After the war, he fell in love with a person and decided to become a human for her... He did it, and then he left the vampires and lived with humans."

"Afterwards, I fell into a deep sleep to recuperate. In order to prevent my kind from disturbing me, Jin Yi and his companions sent me to Severin... He also instructed his descendants to guard my coffin until the being inside wakes up."

"When I woke up, the descendant I saw was Lin Ji, and I made a wish for him."

Tingqiao paused here and looked at Lanqi. He did not continue what he just said, but talked to him about the bloodline issue. "Although he became a human, Severin's bloodline did not disappear. His descendants still inherited his blood and have the possibility of awakening... In other words, his descendants have two paths to choose from. One is not to awaken the bloodline and continue to live as a human. The other is to awaken the bloodline and return to the vampire clan."

The previously cut finger had healed, so she cut it again, then moved closer to Lan Xi and touched his forehead with her index finger, which was bleeding.

Lan Qi was stunned for a moment. He felt his body become illusory and the scene around him changed. He seemed to have come to someplace.

He quickly looked to the side, but did not see Tingqiao.

Just then, he heard a cough.

Lan Qi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lin Ji lying on the bed.

His face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted. No one would treat someone who wanted to kill him well.

He instinctively turned around and was about to leave, but he saw the door was pushed open and Tingqiao, dressed in bright clothes, walked in. She seemed not to have seen him and walked past him and sat directly on the comfortable chair.

Lan Qi suddenly realized that this happened in the past.
