Chapter 6: Saving People, Sucking Blood

Yes, it's quite strange. I feel a bit guilty; my grandfather shouldn't notice the inconsistencies in my explanation

"What is your name?" Seeing that his daughter had escaped the danger of death, Uncle Xu also breathed a sigh of relief and had time to chat with me.

"Yang, Yang Yun, what did you just do?" Uncle Xu said in disbelief

I owe her too much. Promise me, Yang Yun, to try not to tell her about my death. In the future, when she grows up and understands, and has become accustomed to your company, then tell her. That way, her sorrow will be minimized.

I know what Uncle Xu is thinking; he must be shocked by my method of "cremation." I smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, you are now a ghost; you shouldn't be surprised by anything strange you see, right?"

You are a good person, with a commendable character and disposition. Just now, you were busy helping to save my daughter and did not mention the 10 million I promised you. This shows that you have not been blinded by money, which makes me even more at ease in entrusting Yalin to you

With a soft sound, Uncle Xu's body turned into a pile of ashes, which were scattered by the wind

This, this... Xu Shu was choked by me, what kind of ridiculous cremation is this? I haven't read much, so don't you dare deceive me!

Of course, it was to take Yalin out; only by passing through this dense forest could one exit the cliff valley

The situation is not very good; there is a 5-centimeter wound on the forehead, a dislocated right shoulder, and a 7-centimeter cut on the abdomen. There are bruises of varying degrees all over the body. However, fortunately, these injuries are not life-threatening

Holding Yalin, I returned to the mountain village. Early in the morning, the houses in the village had already begun to light up one after another

Uncle Xu did not respond to me. Damn it, now that I think about the madness from earlier, I feel so embarrassed. Well, in Uncle Xu's eyes, he wouldn't think that I was being lewd towards his daughter, would he

Yalin was placed at her grandfather's house, entrusted to his care. In the afternoon, I took a bus to our home located in the suburbs of Nanjing. Upon seeing me, my parents were once again filled with a mix of surprise and joy, and a heartfelt scene of embracing and crying ensued.

I arrived at my grandfather's house, and upon seeing me, he was naturally taken aback. I set down Yalin and carefully explained to him how I had woken up. Of course, I did not tell him that I was now neither human nor ghost.

I have a heart full of passion

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah... With Uncle Xu's consent, I no longer suppress the bloodlust within me. I let out a roar that is entirely beyond human capability, a terrifying sound that can shatter gold and split stone, causing those who hear it to feel weak in the knees, more chilling than the howls of wolves or the roars of lions. This is a roar of rage that resonates to the very core of my being

"By the way, Uncle Xu, I have taken care of your body to prevent it from being devoured by wild wolves in this desolate wilderness." I suppressed my bloodthirsty desire

Yalin struggled to open her eyes, surveyed her surroundings, and finally fixed her gaze on me: "Sissy."

Even when Uncle Xu is speaking to me, his eyes do not leave Yalin

Even the calcium and sodium in the bones have been consumed by me, and in the end, only carbon elements remain in the corpse, which are also elements that cannot be absorbed. When the wind blows, they simply disperse

Then I will go get the bank card now! I pulled out a wallet from the pocket of Uncle Xu's shirt, and surprisingly, there was only one bank card inside; the rest were various membership cards. It seems that wealthy people enjoy collecting these.

In the forest, only the sound of my footsteps through the grass can be heard, occasionally accompanied by the chirping of birds, creating an atmosphere that is both tranquil and sorrowful

Grandfather, what are you saying

"How is my daughter's condition?" Uncle Xu asked after a moment of silence

Xiaoyun, you should hurry home later. Your parents will be even happier to see you alive than I am. Fortunately, we did not spread the news of your death. In the future, we will all forget about this matter. You should continue to study steadily and not act foolishly over a girl again

Good. A string in my heart was touched; even though I am dead, I still think of my daughter wholeheartedly, without considering myself.

I know that saying this at this moment is the greatest comfort to Uncle Xu

I also ignored Uncle Xu, rummaged through the Jeep, and found some food and a military knife to carry with me. Returning to the riverbank, I sprayed some insect repellent on Yalin, picked her up, and walked towards the dense forest at the exit of the canyon.

"Oh, I have cremated the body for you." I smiled broadly, yet felt somewhat guilty in my heart, as it seemed rather ungrateful to have cremated Uncle Xu's body like this

"Aside from the fact that I can hardly recognize the appearance, everything else remains the same. It seems that divine intervention has truly occurred." Grandfather laughed heartily, feeling very pleased. At his age, he was too lazy to ponder how I had come back to life; it was enough that I could stand before him and call him grandfather.

"You go to the trunk of the jeep and take out my first aid kit." Uncle Xu seemed to be concerned for his daughter and wanted to quickly tend to her wound

Uncle Xu's voice still sounded somewhat awkward; anyone who saw their own body being "tormented" in such a manner would not feel at ease.

Grandfather patted my shoulder

There are still 4 days left to be by Yalin's side, and I must return home before the Night of Returning Souls. If I cannot make it in time, I will become a wandering ghost, unable to be reborn for eternity

In the dense forest, where sunlight was blocked, Uncle Xu emerged from my shadow, floating beside me and silently gazing at Yalin in my arms, his eyes filled with affection

I have transformed from an extremely unattractive person into a handsome and charming gentleman This is a remarkable turnaround

The wealthy are truly privileged, even when traveling they carry a medical kit with them. It's really unfair. I looked at the various medications in the medicine box, feeling a sense of indignation in my heart

I could sense a great turmoil rising within him, as my shadow noticeably flickered.

The most fundamental component of all human organs is carbon. Because my body is too weak, and coupled with the fact that it was my first time indulging in the consumption of humans, I could not restrain myself and ended up devouring the blood and the essence of the flesh of Uncle Xu, absorbing all the nutritional elements.

"Well, that's good. It's rare for you, Yun'er, to be so thoughtful," Xu Shu said comfortingly, feeling greatly relieved that his daughter could be entrusted to someone like me

Oh, Xiaoyun, I said that your survival is a good thing, no matter what. Grandfather smiled broadly, continuously examining me

Uncle Xu, I will soon arrive at my grandfather's house. Under my grandfather's care, Yalin's injuries will heal quickly, and I will fulfill my promise to raise Yalin.

This is the most sumptuous meal in the world, whether it is congealed blood or freshly spilled blood, I lick it clean, and I frantically sweep away every drop and every trace of blood from her body

My eyes, pierced by human blood, have transformed into a crimson hue, with terrifying blood vessels spreading to the corners of my eyes. Within the blood-colored pupils lies a vast sea of blood, with crimson waves surging and roaring.

I have returned to normal, my fangs have retracted into my mouth, and the crimson hue of my eyes has returned to their natural state. I wiped the fresh blood from the corner of my mouth, feeling quite satisfied; at least now, when I see blood, I no longer feel a surge of impulse. I refer to this phenomenon as "being sated"

When I opened the medicine cabinet, I saw Uncle Xu's corpse; the heavy, square aura of blood almost caused me to lose control once again

Having met my parents and reassured them, I returned to my grandfather's house in the mountain village, but I could not stop worrying about Yalin

"But how can you suck blood and eat people? Your appearance has also changed?" Uncle Xu was at a loss for words, speaking somewhat incoherently.

Although it is only a small amount of blood, it is human blood, originating from my own body. As soon as it enters my abdomen, the blood transforms into a raging torrent within me, a deluge that violently washes over my hardened organs

Rest assured, I have also died once, and I will not make the same mistake a second time. I nodded repeatedly

Under the guidance of Uncle Xu, I clumsily assisted her in treating the wound, stopping the bleeding, and for the time being, there is no immediate danger to her life

Hmm. Uncle Xu responded with a sound and then fell silent; his time was limited. After seeing that his daughter Yalin was safe, he was able to leave in peace.

Password? Just as Uncle Xu was about to ask again, I quickly interrupted him

I turned the little girl in my arms over, examining her from top to bottom, touching her all over, almost taking off all her clothes. My actions caused Uncle Xu to cough repeatedly.

Fortunately, although the dense forest is fraught with dangers, based on my experience, I did not disturb any insects or beasts and safely traversed the forest, reaching the mountain ring road, which is only 1 kilometer away from the mountain village

I do not disturb Uncle Xu, I merely carry Yalin as we traverse through the quiet forest

It is rare to encounter such exquisite human blood; I have no intention of stopping midway. My enormous mouth is like a bottomless pit, endlessly consuming blood. The flesh and essence of the corpse are being absorbed by me, the body is rapidly withering, while my own flesh is continuously strengthening

Um, this, this, I... I stammered for a long time, "Oh, I saw that she was covered in blood, so I helped clean her up, look."

Yang Yun. I wiped the sweat off my brow vigorously, I am completely exhausted, busy with this and that, and you still leisurely ask me these questions

As I spoke, I exposed the girl in my arms to the sunlight, showing Uncle Xu her "purity".

Although I lost control, deep within my heart, I still retained a sense of clarity, and did not reveal my fangs to harm her; I merely frantically licked the blood from her body.

Hmm. My mood suddenly became very heavy, perhaps influenced by the impending separation between the father and daughter. I thought of my parents, my grandfather, and how they would feel in their sorrow when burying me

The vascular blockages caused by excessive consumption of animal blood have all been resolved, and my sallow skin is gradually recovering

"Little brother, what were you just doing?" At that moment, Uncle Xu, who was hiding in my shadow, spoke up, his tone quite unnatural

I called out! I licked all the blood from her body, stopping just in time, letting out a long breath of foul air. I remained rational and did not harm her. After being nourished by human blood, my skin improved significantly, yet I was still not satiated. Seeing the deep red of her wound, I could not help but feel the urge to bite through her throat.

I removed the clothes from Uncle Xu's corpse, revealing sharp fangs that pierced his carotid artery, wantonly devouring the vigorous flow of blood. Under the nourishment of this pure and rich human blood, my body was reborn, ... every cell was reorganizing, with both hardness and density increasing ...

"You also do not know why you came back to life? Moreover, you encountered this injured girl on your way back to the village?" Grandfather said with a frown

Uncle, how much longer do you have? I sighed

For instance, how I managed to open the copper coffin under the pressure of the soil, and why my appearance has changed so drastically, along with a significant transformation in my demeanor. Additionally, how I encountered this girl in such a bizarre manner.

"Where are you going?" Uncle Xu spoke from within my shadow

"Uncle Xu, I can see ghosts, so I am not an ordinary human. In addition, I have some special abilities, and what you just saw is one of them." As I spoke, I took off my dirty and disheveled clothes and changed into the clothes that Uncle Xu had removed from his body.

The most significant change is undoubtedly in my appearance; my originally sallow skin has transformed to be more lustrous than white jade, with a delicate pinkish hue.

The originally unremarkable appearance is quietly undergoing changes; the flat nose has become more prominent, the exaggerated facial contours have softened, the spots and acne marks on the face have vanished, and the skin has become delicate and flawless

Because a weak ghost like Uncle Xu cannot come into contact with humans, he can only watch me save Yalin, only able to see Yalin sleeping peacefully in my arms

Under the care of her grandfather, Yalin woke up the next day, and Uncle Xu also stayed by Yalin's side, but apart from me, no one else could see him

Perhaps it truly fulfills the fortune teller's words, the copper coffin harbors vitality

"Nonsense, if I were to take your bank card from your pocket, I wouldn't be able to help but drain your corpse dry"

However, it seems he has forgotten the most important point, I cannot suture wounds

Hello, after putting on this set of mountaineering clothes, I feel quite spirited. My appearance has changed, and my demeanor has completely transformed. If I used to be an absolute loser, then now, I embody the aloof elegance of a noble.
