"This... is this my brother?" Xie Luo widened his eyes, staring at the small black bat in Wen Ze's hand with confusion, his heart full of disbelief.

He couldn't help but reach out his hand, wanting to touch this seemingly ordinary yet somewhat familiar little creature, but just as his fingertips were about to touch it, Wen Ze swiftly retracted his hand, successfully avoiding Xie Luo's touch.

Xie Luo's attack was in vain, but he did not become suspicious. Instead, he eagerly asked, "What did you do? Why did my brother become like this?"

Facing Xie Luo's barrage of questions, Wen Ze's face remained calm. He simply replied, "Children shouldn't ask too many questions about matters between adults. You just need to tell me if there is any way to restore him to his original state."

Xie Luo couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He ignored Wen Ze's previous words. At this moment, all his attention was focused on the little bat in front of him.

Generally speaking, if they are normal vampires, even if they temporarily transform into bat form under certain circumstances, they can still change back to human form at will.

Not only that, when they are in bat state, their body size is no different from that of adult bats. They will never be like Xie Qi, who looks exactly like a newly born bat cub.

What is even more worrying is that Xie Qi seems to be in an extremely special condition at this time. Not only can he not restore his human form on his own, he also seems to have lost his memory and consciousness.

Xie Luo stood there, frowning slightly, thinking seriously. After a moment, he slowly said, "My brother's current state...why does it seem a bit like the atavism described in ancient books?"

Wen Ze, who was standing by, heard this and said, "Reversion to one's ancestral roots? Xie Qi did mention before that there was a possibility of awakening some kind of princely bloodline, but he didn't elaborate on the specifics."

Xie Luo's eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment, and he asked anxiously, "What bloodline?!"

Seeing Xie Luo so nervous, Wen Ze took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to explain to him what Xie Qi had told him before.

However, Wen skipped the details of how it became like this.

At this moment, Xie Luo's heart was still filled with confusion. After a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his head, as if he had thought of something important. He looked straight at Wen Ze and asked, "After my brother became like this, did you feed him blood? If it's really caused by atavism as we suspect, then blood might have played a role."

"No…"

Wen Ze then realized that he had forgotten such an important thing, so he quickly turned around and carefully put Xie Qi on the bed, then quickly walked to the table in the room.

Wen Ze reached out and picked up a sharp dagger from the table. Without hesitation, he lightly scratched his left index finger, leaving a small, bright red cut. Blood quickly seeped out of the wound and dripped down his fingertips.

Wen Ze ignored the pain in his hand and hurried back to the bed. When he put his injured and bleeding index finger close to the mouth of the drowsy little bat.

The little bat, which had originally closed its eyes, suddenly opened its big round eyes as if it had felt something intensely stimulating. It hugged Wen Ze's fingers tightly, opened its mouth impatiently, and began to greedily suck the blood flowing from the wound.

After a long five minutes, the little bat finally seemed to be satisfied with drinking enough blood, and slowly let go of Wen Ze's finger, which had been sucked white by it.

At this moment, the little bat's originally thin body expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a blink of an eye, it became a circle larger than before, but it was still much smaller than an adult bat.

Moreover, in the next second, Xie Qi's body began to emit a strange light, and there seemed to be signs that he was about to transform into a human form.

Seeing this, Wen Ze, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, reached out and pulled open the quilt on the bed, quickly covering Xie Qi tightly underneath.

After all, Wen Ze wasn't the only one in the room. If Xie Qi really transformed into a human form and appeared at this moment, it would be like running naked.

As expected, the quilt, which had seemed a little flat just now, suddenly bulged up high. As the person inside the quilt slowly peeled back the quilt, Xie Qi's familiar face was finally completely exposed before their eyes.

However, when the three of them looked at Xie Qi, everyone's eyes widened involuntarily, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

It was simply because Xie Qi, who appeared before them at this moment, looked like a child who was only about ten years old.

Xie Qi, wrapped in a blanket, blinked his large, clear eyes as if covered with water, staring at the three people in front of him. He asked in a childish voice, puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xie Qi was stunned for a moment. Was this sound coming from him? Then he lowered his head and cast his gaze on his palm. That small palm clearly belonged to a child.

"Why did I become so small?" Xie Qi asked 948 in his mind.

948, who was finally able to communicate normally with the host, immediately replied: "Host, this is normal. If you drink some blood every day, you will be able to return to your original appearance in three days."

After hearing this, Xie Qi felt relieved. As long as he wasn't a child forever, it would be fine.

At this time, Wen Ze, who had been standing by, quickly walked to the bedside and sat down. He looked at Xie Qi with concern and asked, "Do you feel any discomfort?"
