Chapter 110: Saving the Tsundere, Cruel Blood Hunter 05

How could the Blood Clan dislike the taste of blood?

Chu Tang didn't understand.

"Yeah, smelling human blood makes one feel it's stinky."

Jin Chen also didn't hide it from him, sighing as if regretfully.

But this morning, his expression didn't look like he found it stinky.

Chu Tang ate while thinking.

To verify his idea, he gently moved his hand holding the bowl downward, pressed on his chest, and the unhealed wound again spilled fresh blood.

Until he could also smell the bloodiness.

Afterwards, he carefully observed Jin Chen's expression.

A faint sweetness came to the tip of his nose, and Jin Chen's arm raising the cup paused slightly.

"Your wound split open again?"

He frowned, puzzled, got up, walked to Chu Tang's side, his tone worried and gently coaxing.

"Let me see."

Chu Tang pressed his lips and pulled open his chest's collar a bit.

For some reason, when Woerk approached him, he felt only disgust, but Lansiluote...

He lightly fluttered his eyelashes, discarded strange thoughts, and focused on probing.

Indeed, when Jin Chen looked at the boy's chest fresh blood, a golden light flashed in his eyes—that was the desire to feed.

He suppressed the urge to pounce and suck, extended his fingertip to lightly touch, the wound split open more severely, and he must stop the bleeding immediately.

"Are you full?"

Jin Chen asked him, his tone gentle.

Chu Tang nodded.

"Then let's go to the side hall; I'll have the physician come in," Jin Chen took the boy's hand and rose, fearing that large movements would aggravate his wound.

"Blood Clan physicians are all from the Moon Phase Clan; they don't need human fresh blood and won't harm you."

Jin Chen's voice even became somewhat hoarse.

His Adam's apple kept rolling.

Chu Tang saw all of this.

Lansiluote not only didn't dislike his own blood, but was forcibly restraining himself.

Why?

Wasn't he supposed to have captured him back as reserve rations?

Chu Tang, who grew up in hatred, had no concept of tenderness.

To understand, Chu Tang bluntly asked.

"You look like you really want to suck blood; don't you dislike my blood?"

"Then that just confirms your misunderstanding of me."

Jin Chen helplessly shook his head, stroked the boy's soft hair top, saying, "Don't think too much; heal your body."

How come even his personality changed?

What about yesterday's icy coolness?

Chu Tang simply couldn't figure it out.

He arrogantly snorted, "Who's overthinking? You're the one who's sick."

After saying that, he shook off Jin Chen's hand, strode forward on his own, and after a few quick steps, encountered a corner hallway.

Chu Tang then realized he wasn't familiar with this castle.

Hearing the light laughter from behind, he felt embarrassed, his face flushed red, and he said nothing.

"Esteemed guest, the side hall is to the left."

Jin Chen again took the boy's hand, smiling helplessly.

"Do you need help preparing a map?"

Hearing that he was teasing, Chu Tang angrily glared at Jin Chen, "Shut up!"

Chu Tang considered this glance ferocious.

In Jin Chen's eyes, however, it was cute and coquettish.

He couldn't control himself, let out a low laugh, the laughter hearty.

This person is really annoying!

Chu Tang brooded.

Yet he didn't realize he had already lost all rejection and disgust.

Side Hall

Originally, upon hearing that today was for treating a human, the physician was already shocked—knowing that Your Highness Lansiluote rarely meets humans even after hundreds of years.

He wished he could stay as far away as possible.

He actually let a human reside in his castle?!

If it weren't for Steward Xisen personally summoning him, the physician would probably think it was a lowly nobody who'd never seen a prince's blood clan, just a ridiculous joke.

But when he saw the noble Your Highness Lansiluote actually holding a human boy's hand and walking in, the physician was already shocked, sucking in a cold breath.

Yes, this human boy is indeed very handsome; even placed in the Blood Clan's aesthetic, he is extremely exquisite.

But this cannot change the fact that he is human! This is the species Your Highness Lansiluote despises most, without exception!

"Respected Your Highness Lanseluote, good day."

"The physician placed his right hand on his left chest, bowed, and performed the salute."

"Hmm."

"Jin Chen regained his icy demeanor, took Chutang's hand, and sat on the jeweled soft chair at the head."

"I won't sit here."

"Chutang tried to pull his hand away, saying, 'Aren't you going to treat me? Let go of me.'"

"Be obedient, I need to watch."

"Jin Chen wrapped an arm around the youth's shoulders to prevent him from moving."

"Your chest wound is too deep; if not properly treated, it will leave aftereffects."

"That won't do; I still haven't found my enemy."

"Chutang gritted his teeth, stopped struggling, and sat down obediently, though his expression was quite unwilling."

"The physician broke out in a cold sweat from their exchange, unable to stop wondering who this human youth really was."

"On the surface he could still remain calm, focusing on examining the wound."

"During the wound treatment, even though Chutang's whole body trembled from pain, he never made a sound, merely biting his lips tightly, his face turning pale."

"Jin Chen frowned, placed his palm on the youth's face, and with his thumb applying slight pressure, the coolness from his palm cleared Chutang's mind a little; he opened his eyes and glared at him."

"If it hurts, bite me."

"His thumb gently stroked the lips, finally rescuing the lower lip that had turned white from being bitten."

"A strange feeling rose in his heart, but the next second pain surged again."

"Cleaning a wound inflicted by the blood clan is not that easy."

"Chutang instinctively bit down, not holding back; cold sweat began to bead on his forehead, his hair stuck to his cheeks, and he unconsciously clenched Jin Chen's lapel."

"How much longer?"

"Jin Chen felt heartbroken, holding the youth in his arms, gently stroking to comfort him, his gaze toward the physician urging haste."

"The smell of blood kept stimulating him, and violent emotions began to surge."

"Almost there, almost there, Your Highness."

"The physician was somewhat curious; this human youth looked as if the blood clan's blade had cut him and drained much blood, yet Your Highness Lanselote... doesn't he not drink human blood?"

"\"Your Highness, how much blood has this... guest been given over the past three days? \""

"\"Even if Your Highness has just started drinking human blood, you can't keep drinking from one person. \""

"\"... Ten bowls. \""

"Chutang answered in a trembling voice."

"This answer surprised both Jin Chen and the physician."

"\"Was it Volke who did this? \""

"His eyes narrowed slightly, and Jin Chen's mind churned with killing intent."

"\"Hmm... \""

"Chutang's vision went dark; just uttering a sound made him feel utterly exhausted."

"\"Your Highness Volke? How come there's still something about him! \""

"The physician kept complaining inwardly, but finally managed to treat all of Chutang's wounds, big and small."

"\"All right, Your Highness; this guest must not be bled again for at least the past seven days... Finally, give him more blood replenishment—unripe blood fruit, which humans can also eat. \""

"Jin Chen waved his hand, dismissing him with a cold warning."

"\"Today you came to have me examine my body. \""

"\"Yes, Your Highness, of course. \""

"The physician repeatedly agreed and left the castle."

"Chutang gradually regained consciousness, but his gaze remained unfocused and his body lacked strength."

"It was ultimately the aftereffects of excessive blood loss, aggravated by the pain."

"\"All right, it's fine now. \""

"Jin Chen soothed him gently, lifted the youth into his arms, and said, \"Let's take you to rest. \""

"Chutang rarely offered no resistance, weakly leaning into the embrace filled with agarwood, and drifted into a heavy sleep."
