"Tronus, Tronos, look, I've caught two rabbits!"

Lin Shuwan ran home at top speed.

The puppet following behind her carried a bamboo cage containing the two rabbits she had caught that morning. Surprisingly, it was just as fast, trailing Lin Shuwan by only half a step, keeping pace with her.

"I never thought I'd be this powerful. They didn't even have a chance to run away before I caught them all." Lin Shuwan put her hands on her hips, her eyes full of pride.

“This isn’t enough for one meal,” Tronos replied lazily.

"Who said I caught them to eat? I have other plans for them." Lin Shuwan said calmly with her hands behind her back, "As for the food, Xiao Mu and I have already set a trap, just waiting for the prey to walk into the net."

"Okay, I'm going out for a stroll again, I'll be back later~" Lin Shuwan went to the kitchen, and when she came out, she had a basket in her hand. She also took the cage from the puppet's hand and ran out again.

"Hi~, do you want to play with my little bunny?"

Lin Shuwan ran to the south side of the Misty Forest, which was the town's favorite place to spend the summer.

It's cool, and there's a shallow stream, only an inch deep, where you can play in the water and catch small fish and shrimp at will, so adults can rest assured.

"Wow, it's a little rabbit!"

The three-year-old girl spoke in a soft, sweet voice, one hand holding onto her older sister's trouser leg, the other excitedly pointing to the two rabbits that were obediently eating grass at Lin Shuwan's feet.

"I want to play! I want to play!" The older little boy, like a firecracker, rushed straight over.

Unfortunately, after only two steps, an eight or nine-year-old boy grabbed him by the collar.

"None of us are allowed to go. She has a black umbrella; she must be that devil trying to lure us in and devour us." The boy restrained his younger brother, who was fluttering around like a moth, and looked at Lin Shuwan warily.

Lin Shuwan hid the umbrella behind her back and retorted, "Demons live in the west of the Misty Forest, but I came from the south. Besides, have you ever seen a demon as beautiful as me?"

As she spoke, she narcissistically touched her smooth face.

"Demons can use magic, so of course they can transform into whatever they want, and they can come out from the south whenever they want. You can't fool us!"

The six-year-old girl in the floral dress peeked out from behind her brother, made a face, and retorted eloquently.

"But the devil could not make such fragrant and delicious candies and cookies."

These were made by the puppeteers overnight after I instructed them to do so yesterday. They are diverse in variety and exquisite in design.

As for the taste, neither she nor the puppet had a sense of taste, but judging from its appearance, the taste couldn't be too bad.

Lin Shuwan took out two large plates of candy and cookies from the basket, brought them close to her nose and pretended to smell them. "Mmm, they smell so good~ If you don't eat them, they're all mine."

"I want it! I want it!" the little boy, still being grabbed by the collar, shouted and lunged forward.

"Sister, I want some too!"

"I want it too, I want it too."

"Eat, eat." The little boy, who couldn't speak much yet and was sucking his thumb, couldn't stop drooling as soon as he opened his mouth.

"No, we can't go there!"

The boy in the lead was also drawn to the exquisite candies. He managed to turn his head away with great self-control, but his eyes kept glancing in Lin Shuwan's direction.

"Brother, I want to eat."

"I want to eat! I want to eat!!"

The boy swallowed hard and conceded, "Unless, unless you can prove you're not a demon."

"How can I prove it?" Lin Shuwan was a little tired of squatting, so she sat down directly under the shade of a tree.

"I know, I know, demons are afraid of the sun. Go and sunbathe for a bit to prove you're not afraid, and then we'll believe you're not a demon." The girl in the floral dress was also craving the food, and quickly came up with a plan to get it.

Lin Shuwan made a suggestion: "How about I take a walk in the sunlight?"

“Okay,” the boy in the lead agreed.

Since becoming a vampire, she has indeed started to hate the feeling of being in the sun.

Although the sunlight couldn't hurt her, it inevitably caused her some stinging and discomfort.

However, it won't take long, so it's still okay.

Lin Shuwan stood up, took a step forward, and stepped into the sunlight.

She did feel a little uncomfortable, and quickly turned around, returning to the shade of the tree. She looked at the group of little devils and said, "How about it? Now you believe I'm not a demon, right?"

"Hmm." The boy nodded with some doubt, and loosened his grip.

The little boy, who had been grabbed by the collar, was freed and ran over with a cheer: "Yay, candy!"

"Candy, candy, candy!"

The other children also rushed forward and surrounded Lin Shuwan (Candy and Biscuits).

“Wow, it’s delicious!”

"So sweet, so fragrant, so delicious!"

"So delicious!"

"Mmm, little bunny." The girl, with a candy in her mouth, didn't forget to stroke the bunny's fur with her free hand.

Great, the first step was a success.

Lin Shuwan nodded smugly, then casually asked, "Why do you all think I'm a demon?"

"Mmm (I know), mmm (I know)."

The most mischievous little boy swallowed the candy with difficulty and blurted out, "Everyone says that demons like to carry big black umbrellas, and you have a big black umbrella."

"I... I was just afraid of getting a tan."

“But Uncle Massimo almost got eaten when he went into the Misty Forest that day. He even moved house overnight after he came out. He said he saw you turn into a demon and try to eat him as soon as you entered the Misty Forest,” the little girl with braided pigtails continued.

Lin Shuwan angrily put her hands on her hips: "Who said I turned into a demon? It was just too dark. He saw wrong and scared himself."

"And Aunt Emily, you went to her house yesterday, and she fell ill after you left. Everyone says it's because you took a part of her soul."

"She just happened to be sick. I didn't do anything. You can't slander me!"

Lin Shuwan scratched her hair in frustration: "Look, you've eaten my food and nothing's happened to you. Doesn't that prove I'm not a demon?"

The little boy rolled his eyes, raised his palm and said, "Who knows if you've poisoned us, unless, unless you bring us candy and cookies again tomorrow."

Good, a little wary, but not much.

“Okay.” Lin Shuwan gave him a high five. “We’ll meet again at the same time tomorrow. If you’re still fine after eating, remember not to call me a devil again.”

"it is good!"

"See? Wasn't I clever?" Back home, Lin Shuwan savored the blood prepared by the puppet and proudly recounted the day's events to Tronos.

"This is just the first step. Next, I'll do this... and then that... and then the people in town will accept me again."

“Naive,” Tronos replied, wiping his mouth and taking a sip of red wine.

"Hmph, you'll find out how childish it is in the future."

"Is that so?" A flicker of emotion crossed Tronos's eyes, but it was quickly masked by indifference as he replied indifferently.

"Of course!"
