Upon hearing this, Mu Yanxiu's mind conjured up that terrifying image. She screamed in fear, threw herself into the little dumpling's arms, and burst into tears.

The little boy hugged her tightly, looking at his brother in surprise.

She never expected that the bloodthirsty demon child would be like that, both frightening and strange.

Seeing the two little ones' reaction, Mu Jinnian clapped his hands and burst into laughter.

"I was just kidding! Look how scared you two cowards are!"

"That bloodthirsty demon child isn't a monster at all. He looks just like a normal person, with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth!"

"However, I don't know if it's because I haven't seen the sun for a long time, but my skin is much whiter than normal people."

Mu Yanxiu glared angrily at Mu Jinnian, wiping away her tears as she said plaintively:

"Uncle, you're so mean! Why did you scare us like that!"

The little dumpling also put her hands on her hips angrily, "That's right! Fourth brother, you're such a bad guy!"

Mu Jinnian touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly and reached out to pull the two children to his side.

"I'm sorry, I went too far! I was just trying to joke with you. Please forgive me, my two little darlings, since I'm already injured."

The little dumpling and Mu Yanxiu exchanged a glance, and then decided to forgive Mu Jinnian.

The little dumpling looked up at Mu Jinnian and asked, "Brother, since the bloodthirsty demon child is just like a normal person, why does he drink blood?"

Mu Yanxiu nodded and asked curiously, "Yeah! Yeah! Is human blood really that delicious?"

"Uncle, have you ever drunk it? Can you tell us if human blood tastes good?"

Mu Jinnian's lips twitched a few times. "I'm not a monster, why would I drink human blood!"

"Who knows why he bites people and drinks their blood? Maybe we'll find out after Uncle Zhen interrogates him tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay!" The little dumpling nodded obediently and turned to walk into the house.

She felt that Qiuqiu might know the answer to this question, so she wanted to go back and ask Qiuqiu.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Mu Yanxiu quickly stepped forward and grabbed her.

"Auntie, can I sleep with you tonight? I'm still a little scared!"

The little dumpling took her hand and happily agreed, "Okay! My bed is big enough for both of us to sleep in."

So the two little radish heads held hands and walked towards the little dumpling's house.

After being bathed by the maids, the two put on clean nightgowns and lay down together, head to head and foot to foot.

Mu Yanxiu played with the little dumpling's hair and asked, "Auntie, do you think the Bloodthirsty Demon Child won't come looking for us in the middle of the night?"

The little boy patted her, "No, Uncle Zhen is watching over him."

"What if Uncle Zhen is asleep?" Mu Yanxiu's mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts.

"It's okay, I'll sleep outside. When he comes, he'll bite me first. But once he's had his fill, he won't bite you anymore," the little dumpling comforted her.

Mu Yanxiu quickly shook her head and hugged the little dumpling tightly.

"No, no, don't bite my aunt!"

Mu Yanxiu looked at the ball on the ground, which was biting a rabbit plush toy.

She whispered in the little boy's ear, "Let him bite the ball first. After he finishes biting the ball, he won't bite us anymore!"

One second Qiuqiu was playing carefree, the next second he felt a chill down his spine.

The fluffy little dog's head was full of question marks.

Huh? Why does he feel like someone's talking about him?

Qiuqiu looked up at the bed with curiosity and saw two pairs of big, round eyes staring at him with an ambiguous expression.

"Woof woof!" What's wrong with you guys?

Qiuqiu barked at the two of them a few times.

The two little ones quickly covered themselves with the blankets and pretended to be asleep.

Qiuqiu nestled on her rabbit plush toy, looking puzzled: What's wrong with these two?

They become mysterious after just one trip out!

After Mu Yanxiu fell asleep, the little dumpling rolled off the bed and sat next to Qiuqiu.

She told him about the bloodthirsty demon child.

Qiuqiu instantly bristled: "So you guys wanted the Bloodthirsty Demon Child to bite me first!"

The little dumpling quickly picked him up, "No, I'm here. I'll protect Qiuqiu and won't let him bite you!"

Qiuqiu gratefully licked the back of the little dumpling's hand.

"Let me go to the Hundred Doctors Space to check the ancient books; maybe there will be some clues." Qiuqiu didn't know why that person drank blood, so she could only go and look through the books first.
