Tang Xiu was very confident since he believed that a living vampire was much more attractive to Gui Jianchou than the Demihuman’s arm remains.
As he expected, Gui Jianchou’s tone turned a bit heavier and he nearly replied without hesitation, “Tell me the place and I’ll immediately rush over. I’ll join your research if you’re telling the truth.”
“Shanghai’s Paradise Manor. I’ll be waiting for you here,’ said Tang Xiu with a smile.
Just as he hung up, a look of fear lingered on Shanjenna’s beautiful face as she said with a long face, “Did you just invite someone else, Mr. Tang? Why? He… he won’t do the same thing as this black-hearted old Mo and take my blood every day, right?”
“Well, he probably will,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
Hearing it, Shanjenna’s voice immediately increased several octaves, “I REFUSE! I don’t wanna be the first vampire of Bloodkin in history who died after having my blood taken too much!”
The Bloodkin sucked others’ blood to live, not the other way around.
If she were to become the first vampire in history who died due to having her blood taken by others, a huge tempest would surely quake the entire Bloodkin clan. It would be recorded as a shameful event in the annals of history of the vampires. Her name would definitely be there and such a ‘title’ was not something to be proud of.
“It won’t be that bad, you can rest your worries about that!” Tang Xiu waved and said, “Anyways, would you like to go back and have some rest, even though it’s not that late now? You can take medicinal pills I just gave and see its effect, right?”
Shanjenna stared blankly before she immediately nodded, “That’s right. Right, I’ll have some first, you go tend to your business.”
Having said that, she dashed out in a flash and her figure instantly vanished from the room.
Mo Yi came over and asked with a worried look, “Will your medicinal pills give a good effect to Shanjenna, Tang Xiu? I mean, it will be quite troublesome if she’s unsatisfied with it and then quit. That will make all the previous efforts go down the drain.”
“Relax! I guarantee that she won’t quit,” said Tang Xiu with a confident smile.
Mo Yi nodded and looked relieved, yet still hesitated since he curiously asked, “Can you tell me in advance about the origin of this Chinese medical practitioner you just invited? Can he cooperate with me to do the experiment?”
“He’s Divine Doctor Gui Jianchou,” answered Tang Xiu slowly.
Mo Yi looked vacant with a sudden shocked yet excited change in expression, as he then spoke with a shivering voice, “Y-you… you are able to invite Divine Doctor Gui Jianchou? Damn! He’s a miracle-working doctor who’s like a divine dragon whose tail and head are nearly impossible to catch! I’ve heard about his very resounding name and reputation for a long time!”
“Well, keep your excitement at reasonable levels, though.” Tang Xiu said, “Divine Doctor or not, he’s still a human. I hope his arrival will be helpful to you and that you can research what I need sooner.”
“Don’t worry! As long as there are any medicinal herbs that can substitute the substance I need, I’m certain I can research the stuff you want in the shortest time,” stressed Mo Yi with a heavy nod.
“Alright, then!” Tang Xiu nodded.

Time fleeted by and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
In a western-style building in the depths of Paradise Manor, Han Qingwu lied on the bed inside a spacious bedroom. Her eyelashes contracted a few times as her eyes slowly opened. As her sight recovered, two tears slowly slid down from her eyes. The glittering tears were unable to conceal the interweaving emotions of pain and remorse. Vaguely, the love that had been imprinted deep down in her bones and inscribed in her heart roamed inside as her innermost feelings.
‘Soul Returning Grass.’
Han Qingwu slowly sat up. Her vision was still obstructed with the vague tears as the name of the herb came to her mind. She once believed in the past and even firmly believed that it was absolutely necessary to take that Soul Returning Grass. Yet now, she began to hate this herb and she would never think about taking it again if possible.
It was a debt she had in her previous life—a debt she still had to pay in this current life.
The pain she felt inside was way too deep and painful, so much so that she was afraid that she would never be able to pay it off.
She got dressed and quietly walked to the door, coming out to watch the bright sunshine outside. Yet, she sighed deep inside before she continued walking outside to the woods and sat cross-legged quietly.
She still had internal injuries, but it wouldn’t be a problem for her now. She had just recovered the memory of her past life which brought about all kinds of mental states that allowed her to realize that her state of mind was no longer the same as her former self. She could recover from her injuries in several days as long as she willed it.
Yet, she opted not to as she was afraid Tang Xiu would be able to sense her true self now. She was afraid that he would find out that she had recovered her memory, and thus opted to keep her identity as only Han Qingwu, Tang Xiu’s class teacher.
“Hey? You have woken up?”
