A Guide to Raising a Little Human [Vampire Clan]

"Cheers!"

"Welcome, Brother Lin!"

Happy breakup!

Chu Lin paused, startled, and looked at Xiao Bai: "What are you talking about!"

Xiao Bai blinked: "Break up, happy?"

Chu Lin retorted softly, "There are no points."

Xiao Bai: "Isn't that card a breakup fee? I saw you secretly looking at it, and you seemed quite heartbroken."

Chu Lin choked up for a moment: "No..."

Xiaoye offered a way out: "They're just separated temporarily; they'll be together again in the future."

Yu Ci was tearing apart a roast chicken when she heard this and looked up: "No getting back together."

Chu Lin: "I already said there were no points!"

Xiao Bai shook his head and sighed, "Looks like you've grown up and don't listen to your brother anymore... Ahhh, don't pinch me!"

Chu Lin pinched Xiao Bai's face until Xiao Bai whimpered and begged for mercy, calling out "Brother Lin."

Chu Lin asked, "By the way, if you escaped, won't your owner find out?"

Xiaobai rubbed her face: "He's away on a business trip, it's okay. Besides, even if he thinks we're lost, it doesn't matter, he's not our first owner anyway."

Chu Lin: "What?"

Xiaobai: "The one who tattooed me was my first owner."

Xiao Bai took off the collar, and Chu Lin finally saw the words tattooed on his neck.

Written in vampire language—"Exclusive berry."

Seeing the complicated look in Chu Lin's eyes, Xiao Bai put the collar back on: "But that vampire is already dead."

Xiao Bai pointed at Yu Ci: "He did it. Then we ran away..."

Yu Ci nodded: "Because I was quite scared, I chopped it into very small pieces and then left it in the sun to dry into ash."

Xiao Bai shook his head: "That's too uncivilized. But that was just an inferior vampire. Real first-generation vampires are still quite difficult to kill."

After a while, Xiaobai and Yuci took turns cleaning.

Chu Lin sat alone in a corner of the restaurant, holding the silver cross necklace in his hand.

Xiaoye sat down next to him, noticed the necklace in his hand, and asked, "Something from the church?"

Chu Lin: "It was given to me by Ians on my birthday."

Xiaoye asked curiously, "You grew up in church, so do you know how to pray?"

Chu Lin nodded, then, holding the silver cross in one hand and taking Xiao Ye's hand in the other, he said, "Lord, please forgive all the sins of your people, bless your people, eliminate disease, drive away calamity, please open your eyes, know all our suffering, and save our souls..."

"God so loved the world. Amen."

After listening to the prayer, Xiaoye smiled and said, "He really does look a bit like a little priest."

Chu Lin lowered his eyes: "Actually, I've always believed in the existence of gods, but gods have never saved me, nor have they ever saved us, so I don't pray much anymore..."

Xiao Ye thought for a moment, then grabbed Chu Lin's hand: "Not necessarily, come with me."

Chu Lin got up and followed Xiao Ye to a building next to the base that looked like an iron box.

The midday sun was quite intense, but the house was dark and gloomy.

Chu Lin was somewhat surprised to see a vampire nailed to a cross.

He had a mouth guard on, and nails of different sizes were driven into his forehead, palms, and heart.

The walls around the room were covered with silver... instruments of torture?

"This is a first-generation vampire. We captured it here a long, long time ago and it has been here for many, many years. It is considered our family heirloom."

Xiaoye walked up to the vampire, patted his face, and said in her broken vampire language, "Wake up, senior."

Chu Lin: "Wait, what did you call him?"

Xiaoye smiled and said, "They are our seniors, and I've been nourishing them with my blood."

Chu Lin fell silent.

Seeing that she couldn't wake him up using the usual methods, Xiaoye went to the warehouse door and pressed a button.

The roof was slowly opened, and a beam of sunlight fell just on the cross.

"ah--!!!"

The vampire suddenly regained consciousness.

Screams mingled with the smell of burning flesh as he glared at them with hatred, as if he wanted to devour them alive.

Xiaoye's face showed a look of pity: "Senpai, you're so pitiful... but you still can't die..."

Chu Lin broke out in a cold sweat.

"He might not be immortal. Even with superhuman regenerative abilities, if you break him into many small pieces or crush him, he should die..."

"..." Xiaoye said angrily, "You can't treat Senior like that! Senior has helped us a lot; many weapons were developed thanks to Senior!"

Chu Lin blinked and glanced at the vampire who was almost scorched by the sun.

Xiaoye took a silver cross sword from the wall and handed it to Chulin.

"Brother Lin, why don't you try it? Just like you did before, pray, ask for divine help, and then... stab him in the heart and relieve his suffering."

Chu Lin held the sword in one hand and the silver cross necklace in the other, and nodded.

He took a few steps forward, stood in front of the vampire, prayed, and raised his hand.

"sorry……"

As the silver sword pierced his heart, the vampire, like the edge of a burning piece of paper, gradually turned black and crumbled...

Finally, under the sunlight, it turned into a pile of ashes.

Chu Lin stood there, stunned.

Xiaoye looked at Chulin with an appreciative gaze.

Little White appeared out of nowhere: "What are you doing here... Hey? Oh my god, isn't this...?"

"Yes, just like you imagine."

Xiaoye smiled and said, "Our little priest has finally arrived."

Xiao Bai rushed up and hugged Chu Lin: "Brother Lin, you're amazing!! Give me a kiss!!!"

Chu Lin was stiff all over, letting Xiao Bai kiss and cuddle him, making all sorts of noises.

Xiao Ye watched from the side, then turned her head and saw Yu Ci standing beside her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back: "What do you want to say?"

Yu Ci: "What he said before about the 'first embrace,' do you think it's true?"

Xiaoye: "If it's true, that would be terrifying."

Yu Ci: "What do you mean?"

Xiaoye: "Because humans are very afraid of death. When they are young, they may not care much, but when they get old, even if they are seriously ill and can't walk, they still wish they could live one more day. This is the instinct to survive."

"Immortality, eternal life... almost no need to face the torment of aging and disease, I'm even a little tempted, thinking of finding a vampire to transform me."

Yu Ci: "But the price is drinking the blood of their own kind. Can they really be at peace with that...?"

Xiaoye interrupted, "Even if they don't become vampires, they're already drinking the blood of their own kind."

The conversation ended there.

Xiaoye stroked her chin: "Actually, I've always felt that it's more reasonable for something like vampires to not be able to reproduce. What kind of race only increases and never decreases... But if there's something like the Embrace, then I can probably understand it."

Yu Ci: "You mean, some vampires were transformed from humans?"

Xiaoye shook her head and smiled.

"No, I guess, all of them."
