Chapter 784 - Mu City Academy (1/2)
“Of course not. I’ve been living well, haven’t I?” Ghost denied immediately.
Her answer made Duck Emperor at ease. It thought, “Fortunately, they don’t need blood every day. That’s acceptable for me.”
On their way to Mu City, Xiao Luo kept talking with Ghost, and he got to know more about the Sucking Blood Clan.
They were scared of the sunlight, but they liked the moonlight. If they were injured, their wound could heal faster if it was exposed to the moonlight, which was quite similar to bathing in fresh blood. In addition, fresh blood was not a necessity for the Sucking Blood Clan.
If he had to compare fresh blood with something, he would compare it with drugs in the Original World. It would be a lot better if the Sucking Blood Clan stayed away from fresh blood. However, as long as they used it once, it would be very difficult to stop using it. They would go through a blood withdrawal at intervals. That pain was unbearable, and they would be like in a living hell. When that happened, they would have to suck blood to get over the blood withdrawal.
Ghost was only Louis and Lester’s half-sister. They had the same father but different mothers. Ghost would tell Xiao Luo everything. She never hid anything from him. She told him her mother was actually human.
It tumbled to Xiao Luo the reason that Ghost could restrain the bloodthirsty nature of the Sucking Blood Clan. Half of her was human, but she also got that freaky composition of the Sucking Blood Clan.
“Your mum! What about her? I didn’t see her around,” Duck Emperor inquired curiously.
Ghost was dumbstruck. Sadness flashed in her eyes. Then she broke into a smile. “My mother had a difficult labor. She died shortly after the delivery.”
Feeling it had asked her a sensitive question, Duck Emperor apologized, “Well, I’m sorry, girl. Your mum… I didn’t know she…”
“It’s all right. Life must go on. I always try to look on the bright side.” Ghost was kind of optimistic.
Giving Duck Emperor a poke on its back with the sheath of his Dragon Saber, Xiao Luo said helplessly, “Would you stop saying ‘your mum’? Don’t you know the word mother?”
“Mother ducker, don’t they mean the same thing?” Duck Emperor said, rolling its eyes at Xiao Luo.
“Your mum!” Xiao Luo repeated.
Duck Emperor flipped out immediately. “G**damn j*rk, why did you swear at me?”
“Your mother!” Xiao Luo corrected himself.
“Mother ducker, again? Believe it or not, I’ll stop flying and let all of us fall from here!” Duck Emperor threatened, irritated.
Xiao Luo closed his eyes. He did not want to argue with it.
Titter.
Ghost was so amused that she giggled. Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed into two new moons. “Handsome Luoluo, Duckling, you two are adorable.”
“Adorable my foot. By the way, girl, would you stop calling me ‘duckling’? That sounds awful to me. Didn’t I tell you I’m more than 500 years old? You should call me Grandpa Duck,” Duck Emperor said.
“Okay, Duckling. Yes, Duckling!” Ghost teased Duck Emperor, nodding.
Puff.
Duck Emperor foamed at the mouth secretly.
There were horses that could gallop 1,000 miles a day in the world, whereas Duck Emperor was a duck that could fly 10,000 miles a day. Of course, to do that, it did not have to exert itself at all. If it tried its best, it probably could fly four times the distance.
It flew north after leaving the verdant Dark Forest. About half an hour later, they saw a huge city standing down there through the clouds and fog and cranes fly over it from time to time. That was certainly Mu City.
