Zhiyuan chuckled while watching her frightened expression, "Don't worry, even if I bite you, you won't turn into a Gǎnrǎn.."

Yu Yan: "..."

"Why....?" Yu Yan woke up from her fear, but her voice sounded scared.

He smiled sweetly while enjoying Yu Yan's adorable face, "Because you're special."

"You... know something... about me?" Yu Yan tried hard to calm her voice.

"Oh, you're not aware?" Zhiyuan chuckled while he looks at her cute curious face.

Yu Yan shook her head while despondency surfaces on her eyes. "Can you tell me everything you know?"

Zhiyuan is reluctant to answer her question, however, watching her pitiful face he sighed. "I don't think I'm the right one to tell you, it's hard to explain but I will try..."

"Please... I want to know everything." she said faintly.

Zhiyuan rouse his eyebrows, he tries to think of a simplified explanation. "You have a body of a human, but your blood is mixed with a blood of Xuè shòu, but you are not a Xuè shòu... Does that make any sense?"

Yu Yan: "..."

How is it possible?

Right after listening to his explanation Yu Yan's face shows bewilderment. It was out of her imagination that it is possible to mix a human and Xuè shòu's blood without turning into a Gǎnrǎn, what is worse is that it is running through her veins.

Knowing that Xuè shòu are a powerful beast, there are no other information about their kind, and not even where they came from.

Therefore, Yu Yan still did not speak, she open her mouth, but she doesn't know what to ask or how to understand what he was saying.

Fortunately, Zhiyuan understood that Yu Yan is still confused, he continues to smile while adding more details about his kind. " You should know that a Xuè shòu are blood drinking beast, but I can't tell you where we came from."

Yu Yan: "..."

Drinking blood?!

With disbelief, there were no words came out from Yu Yan's mouth that made Zhiyuan continue. "Don't worry, you are not a (1)Bàn xuè shòu... I never heard of a Xuè shòu succeeded to have a child with a human, unless..."

An idea came up to his Zhiyuan's mind, he continued while smiling mischievously. "We can try to make one."

Bàn xuè shòu are half human and half xuè shòu, this kind of combination never happened. Aside from a human turning into a Gǎnrǎn whenever they meet, it is a prohibition in their nature.

Listening to his explanation, Zhiyuan's last words made Yu Yan's face turns dark like a pot, even if she has no idea how to make a child, she knows it's something that only a husband and wife can do.

Finally, Yu Yan speaks after ignoring Zhiyuan's last sentence, she took a deep breath, but she can't continue to finish what she wants to say. "Then how did you know that I....." .

"The fragrance of your blood..." he interrupted with a thirst on his words.

Yu Yan: "..."

"Fragrance of my blood?" she murmured while in daze.

Zhiyuan chuckled, "Surprised? Don't you know that your scent is very tempting?.."

"It feels like I will go crazy when I smelled your blood, just like the night when I saved you." he continued.

Not hearing a response from Yu Yan, Zhiyuan suddenly asked, "Did you ever meet a Gǎnrǎn?"

Zhiyuan's question took Yu Yan's attention, she nodded after remembering the night she met Li Fu Jin. "It immediately attacked me right after he sees me.."

"That's because your blood smells tasty, and your body scent is different, it might be the effect of combining a human and a Xuè shòu's blood."

Tasty?

Wait... Blood?

Yu Yan suddenly remembered the times that she have a taste of blood in her mouth when she wakes up. "Do I.... drink blood?"
