It was cold - this was the first touch Su Yun felt.
Flora's lips were cold, like a shadow, with a hint of chilliness, reminding people of the River Styx and the countless living skeletons beneath it.
The pair of scarlet eyes were so close at hand, alluring and bewitching, like thick blood soaking rotten flesh.
Su Yun couldn't see his own reflection in it, but he subconsciously felt that... these red eyes were very beautiful.
Then there was a stinging wetness, and Su Yun smelled the scent of his blood. Flora was too aggressive. He was like a ferocious beast that only wanted to tear its prey into pieces, or like a vine that wanted to strangle a tree, ferocious and violent, leaving no room for mercy.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yun tasted a fishy-sweet taste. Flora filled every inch of his body like something flowing. She wanted to drown him and wrap him up completely, like water or a shadow.
This feeling is strange...but familiar...
Su Yun lowered his eyes and let Flora do whatever she wanted in the territory he had coveted for a long time. The higher his creations were in rank, the more willful they were. Alice was a teenager who only lay on his lap, while Flora became a wanton and arrogant predator. But no matter what they were like or what they wanted to do, Su Yun...
Su Yun likes them all very much.
After an unknown amount of time, the bloody kiss finally ended, and Flora carefully licked every drop of blood.
"My God, give it to me?"
Su Yun laughed: "You know, you can't."
Flora's arms gradually tightened, and the light in her red eyes became more and more scorching. She stared at Su Yun like a demon in purgatory staring at the priest who sealed it.
Su Yun looked at him gently and repeated firmly: "Flora, no."
After a brief confrontation, Flora slowly lowered her head and buried it in the Father's shoulder. The cold breath tickled Su Yun's neck, and his voice sounded dully, as if vibrating through Su Yun's blood.
"It is true. Your choice has never changed."
Su Yun hugged Flora's waist and back with his backhand, patting her gently as if to comfort a child: "I've already kissed you goodnight... It's late, I want to go to bed too."
Flora: "Then father is not allowed to kiss anyone else in the future."
Su Yun readily agreed: "Okay, I'll only kiss the seven of you."
Flora: “…”
Flora uttered a disdainful interjection, and finally he turned over suddenly and grabbed Su
Yun pressed into the thick and soft bedding.
"Since it's already so late, go to bed. I'll stay here with you."
Su Yun turned his head to look at the man beside him. He had closed his eyes, and his red eyes were also hidden by him - night fell and the sun set in the west.
The arms around her waist were tightening, which seemed to be a proof of this.
The shadows wandered silently, flooding the room in the blink of an eye and swallowing up all the light.

It was dark at night. In the baby's room, the maid was sitting on the sofa next to the cradle, half asleep and half awake.
Among the servants in the Duke's house, there are some who would accept benefits from the noble ladies, and of course there are also some who are loyal. This maid who keeps watch at night is the latter.
The maid's name was Jenny. She was born in a poor family. At the age of ten, she entered the Duke's house and became a maid by a lucky coincidence. Since being appointed by the butler, she has been grateful and swore to God to take good care of the young master. From then on, she worked diligently and conscientiously, and won the butler's praise many times.
In Anne's opinion, the Duke's mansion is the best place in the world, perhaps second only to the royal palace?
But even today's royal family is not as big as the Duke of Syracuse's family. The king has only two daughters, while the Syracuse family has seven sons... although they are all adopted.
In a trance, Jenny seemed to hear the footsteps of the night watch maid, which was of course impossible. The carpet in the corridor was thick, and the footsteps of the night watch maid were very light. The sound insulation effect of the baby room was outstanding. Even if there was a loud noise in the corridor, it would not disturb the interior of the room.
The shameless noble lady did make a scene tonight, but what good was that? The Duke would not decide to marry again. The three ladies who died in succession had already broken his heart.
As she was thinking vaguely, the maid Anne became more and more awake. She felt thirsty, so she lit the soft night light at hand.
In the dim light, the maid quietly drank up the water in the cup. She stood up quietly and walked to the cradle in small steps.
Keeping watch for the young master was a very easy job. Jenny had never seen such a well-behaved child as the young master. He never cried at night and always slept until dawn, just like an angel. He must be sleeping peacefully now, right? His well-behaved sleeping face was better than all the warm and famous paintings collected in the Duke's mansion.
Jenny stopped beside the cradle. She looked down at the baby in the cradle and felt overwhelmed by fear.
There is no cute little boy in the cradle with rosy cheeks sleeping.
There was only one...baby with his eyes open, staring at Jenny indifferently?
He just quietly looked at the maid holding the lamp beside the cradle, as if he was looking at an insignificant dead object, with strong malice and hatred rolling in his blue eyes - this emotion was not directed at Jenny, but the maid instinctively understood this biting hatred.
The pain was like a knife stabbing into my spine.
No, this is not a human baby, it is a monster, or a devil, observing the world through its tiny body.

The next morning, Su Yun opened his eyes to the sound of birds singing.
The windows of the room were not closed tightly. The duke's manor had flower gardens that were no less than those of the royal palace. The manor also directly encompassed the entire hill and the lake behind the hill, with an astonishingly large area.
The scenery in the flower garden is also extremely delicate and beautiful, and the small animals are not afraid of people and run around everywhere.
The heavy curtains were opened a little, and a thin beam of light came in faintly, splitting the darkness in the room in two. Su Yun rubbed his forehead and sat up. The shadows that spread throughout the room had already silently shrunk back into the quilt.
Su Yun pushed the arm that was still pressing on his waist: "It's morning."
The shadows silently overflowed from the bedding again, they quickly climbed under the curtains, and closed the curtains again as if to cover up their mistakes, so the whole room fell into darkness again, as if it had returned to night.
Su Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Flora, you should go back - you still have to go to college."
Flora supported his body with his right arm, and the bones on his back undulated like mountains. His left hand was still around Su Yun's waist, but it didn't matter, because he immediately took advantage of the momentum and pressed down on Su Yun.
"Yes, my father does not allow any rebellion, so I have to live in another desolate continent."
Su Yun was helpless: "No, I am happy to have an enlightened identity. This is mainly because there is something wrong with your script chain, and that continent is not barren. It is about to become the center of the world."
Even if the facts were the same as what Su Yun said, Flora would not reason with Su Yun. He lifted Su Yun's messy long hair and came up to him: "Father, you should give me a good morning kiss."
This sentence was not a question but a notification. Flora's actions would never be slower than his words. He repeated the greeting before going to bed.
At this moment, the door of the room opened, and the morning light from the corridor illuminated the closed room and split the darkness on the bed.
Su Yun's vision was completely blocked by Flora.
He tried to block it, but he sensed Jasmine and Theresa. He pressed Flora's head and tried to push him away first, but the bastard's arms were stuck on his waist like cast iron and didn't move at all.
Two young children stood outside the quaint wooden door. They were both wearing pure white nightgowns. The blond boy was holding a heavy book as big as his upper body. He looked at the bed in the dim room with his eyes slightly widened. The other boy, who was taller, had a head of messy dark red hair. He grabbed the wooden door with one hand, and the heavy door cracked in his hand...
Su Yun: ...
His two younger sons saw with their own eyes that their eldest brother was forcibly kissing their father. Although it was all fake, it sounded so exciting - no, in a way, it was not entirely fake.
"Father." It was Teresa who spoke first. She asked very calmly, "A new day has come. Can I pray with you?"
Su Yun finally pushed Flora away and sat up straight: "Of course, wait a moment."
Theresa stood obediently holding the book, but Jasmine was not so obedient. He slammed the door and rushed over, nimbly dodged the shadows all over the floor, and fell directly on the bed.
Su Yun subconsciously hugged this small body: "Be careful."
Jasmine reached out and wiped Su Yun's lips, accusing loudly: "Father! He bit you!"
The bite was indeed very strong, but this time Flora didn't bleed. This willful creature didn't want the Father to bleed in front of those damn creatures.
Su Yun rubbed Jasmine's head, turned around and said to the dog thing beside him: "You should leave, the butler is already in the corridor around the corner, you can't let him see it."
Flora smiled softly, "As you wish."
After saying this, the man sank into his shadow. At this moment, all the shadows spread throughout the room rushed over, condensed together, and disappeared at the same time, like water flowing into a leak.
Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief, then hugged Jasmine and wanted to get out of bed: "Theresa, come and sit too, don't stand. That book is very heavy... We are going to the palace today, right? Wait for me to put on my clothes first."
Theresa nodded softly, and he walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, placing the thick book beside him. Jasmine was placed in the quilt by Su Yun. He changed his sitting position and threw away Flora's pillow.
The housekeeper's heartbeat and breathing were close at hand. Su Yun looked up at the door of the room. The heavy door that was strong enough to withstand bullets was now covered with cracks.
I don't know if it was pinched or corroded.
Jasmine then noticed the small damage he caused, but shrugged it off: "It's okay Father, that human won't notice."
Just at this moment, a small white shadow flashed through the curtain and accurately wrapped around Su Yun's calf. Su Yun picked up the thing and found that it was Anita's little snake.
The little creature was trapped by the shadow at the bottom of the pool all night.
A terrifying thought suddenly emerged in Su Yun's mind. At this point in time, there are only two children in the family who can move freely, but in the future, Alice will grow up, and the three children who go to public school will graduate and return home one after another...
Three of them were enough to form a world-famous painting, but what would he do when all seven of them got together?
Su Yun fell into philosophical thinking.
