Wang Xiang nodded, gesturing for her to keep the kettle in her hand, before slowly beginning to speak.
"Back then, the eight of us brothers came to the human world together for training. Since we had just taken human form and knew nothing, we made quite a few laughs. Later, we met the young Feng Jingchen and Ji Guixue, and through their introduction, we met Kui Wanchen..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Xiang's eyes were filled with longing for the past.
"Back then, they often helped us clean up our messes, and gradually became best friends. But everything changed after Kui Wanchen had an attack..."
At this moment, the longing in its eyes turned into resentment.
"He was perfectly fine until one day he suddenly went mad and bit his pageboy. If the maid hadn't discovered it, the pageboy would have been drained dry!"
As it spoke, images of vampires biting people's necks flashed through Qin Luo's mind.
She couldn't help but touch her neck.
"Wow, that's terrifying. Did you see a doctor afterward?"
"I've seen doctors, all the well-known ones, but unfortunately it hasn't worked. The biter still bites!"
"Those who serve him must have had a really tough time!"
Wang Xiang sighed as he recalled those people whose necks he had almost bitten off.
"That's right! Later, I don't know where the Kui family found a sorcerer who said that as long as he drank the heart's blood of a hundred people, the disease could be cured. Kui Wanchen was in a lot of pain at the time. He didn't really want to hurt others, but he wanted to live a healthy life so badly..."
Qin Luo seemed to have discovered something important, and immediately raised his hand to interrupt it.
"So this disease of the Blood Eaters was passed down from Kui Wanchen?"
Wang Xiang nodded, confirming her guess.
"That's right. At that time, he was the only son of the Kui family, but he was also diagnosed with this strange disease. In order to save him, the family searched everywhere for folk remedies and finally found this sorcerer!"
"Did you retrieve his heart's blood?"
Upon hearing her question, Wang Xiang shed tears of remorse.
"It was my suggestion at the time. I felt he was too pitiful. Besides, we are demons, so taking some human heart's blood isn't difficult! We can also use magic to heal the wounds of the person whose blood was taken, without harming their life..."
After hearing this, Wu Hua slapped it on the head.
"Are you stupid? Are you stupid? Even though you don't take lives, it still goes against the natural order. You came to the mortal realm to cultivate, how can you harm humans? You will have to bear the consequences in the end!"
Even the elephant regretted it! It was filled with deep remorse.
"At the time, we didn't know, because it was just drawing some blood, and it wouldn't cause any serious harm. But we never expected that this simple act would make the sorcerer suspicious of our identities..."
It cried as it looked towards the crack.
"After we gave the heart's blood we had collected to Kui Wanchen, it had no effect whatsoever. Then the sorcerer said it was because we hadn't collected enough blood, which was why the prescription was useless, and that we needed to collect all the blood from the entire heart..."
Qin Luo suddenly cried out in surprise.
"What? You didn't actually do that, did you?"
Wang Xiang was startled by her shout and quickly shook his head in denial.
"No, no, my elder brother said that doing that would incur divine punishment, so none of us dared to do it. But that's what caused Kui Wanchen to resent us!"
Qin Luo slapped her thigh, rubbing it in pain as she muttered curses.
"He harbors resentment? What right does he have to be resentful? If he's so capable, why doesn't he go and do it himself? He makes others bear the sins while he hides like a coward, and he still has the nerve to talk about resentment?"
Seeing her standing up for him, Wang Xiang's eyes were filled with such joy that they almost seemed to melt into little hearts.
Wu Hua went up and kicked it in the rear.
"You're up to your old tricks again, aren't you!"
Even after being kicked, the elephant wasn't angry. It knew in its heart that these two people were genuinely good to it.
It got up, walked back to the two of them, and continued its story.
"After that, he listened to the sorcerer's words, saying that we were demons, and only demons could take blood without harming humans. He even hired a demon hunter to capture us, and that's when we were exposed..."
"And then? You got arrested?"
"No, not only did he not arrest us, but he also pretended to be a savior and rescued us with his guards..."
Qin Luo listened while cursing inwardly, feeling like she was about to explode with anger. Wu Hua then sprinkled some water on her as well.
"Calm down, calm down, don't get angry, don't get angry, anger will make you sick and no one can take your place!"
Qin Luo was immediately amused by its adorable appearance, grabbed it and gave it a good rub before continuing to ask Wangxiang.
"What about Feng Jingchen and Ji Guixue? What were they doing at that time?"
"They were in love, but their families disapproved, each feeling their child deserved better. So the couple ran away, taking all their wealth and their respective guards, and fled to this desolate place, where they built this city..."
When he heard that, Qin Luo was truly incredulous.
Being able to take all their wealth is unlikely to be a spur-of-the-moment decision; it's probably something they've been planning for a long time.
She had previously suspected that the first city lord was a time traveler, and now she was even more convinced.
"So what happened to them in the end?"
Wang Xiang opened his mouth and took a sip from Wu Hua's small water bottle before answering her question.
"They got married when the city was being built, but their child died young. In a fit of anger, Ji Guixue separated from Feng Jingchen and became the city lord herself. The city, which was originally named after their child, has been nameless ever since!"
"What about Kui Wanchen? How did he get into this city?"
Wang Xiang found it laughable when he recalled how he and his brothers had foolishly protected him and fled for their lives.
"When the Kui family had a second son, he was abandoned and even felt ashamed, sending people to hunt him down! We protected him until we arrived in this city, but he used our secrets as bargaining chips to gain a place in this city from Feng Jingchen and Ji Guixue..."
Qin Luozhen couldn't understand what the three people were thinking, and didn't want to ask everything and seem too stupid.
Then I saw that Wu Hua had stopped watering and was shelling and eating peanuts.
But Wu Hua only wanted to hear stories and didn't want to use her brain, so she immediately turned her little bottom towards her.
Qin Luo slapped its rear end, trying to get it to pay attention to him.
Wu Hua simply moved away and continued peeling peanuts.
Qin Luo had no choice but to continue asking Wang Xiang.
"Shouldn't they be afraid knowing who you are? How dare they leave you here?"
After asking the question, she saw Wang Xiang's ugly face, his teeth clenched in fury.
"All three of them are ill. Kui Wanchen heard from a sorcerer that demon cores can defy fate, so he thought of consuming our demon cores to cure himself. Ji Guixue wants to resurrect her child, and Feng Jingchen is the most insane; he wants to become an immortal..."
Qin Luo was truly incredulous this time.
"What? I can understand the first two, but Feng Jingchen must have been out of his mind. What makes him think that a demon core can make him an immortal?"
