AST 1845 - You can’t have a child without me... (1/2)

Qing Shui was stunned, “Why did you say so?”

“Why did you think I say so?” The Vampiric Demoness Empress was very upfront and different from how she was last time, much like how Qing Shui had changed a lot. The two had seemingly swapped roles.

“We are totally different so you don’t have to come. The Vampiric Demoness race passes on their legacy this way. I know you don’t like this place and you must have had an internal struggle about whether you should come or not.” Her smile was very mesmerizing.

Qing Shui heard her words and felt that he was too narrow-minded, not being able to measure up to her. He then slightly shook his head: “Now you’re so unwelcoming of me.”

Seeing Qing Shui’s bitter smile, the Vampiric Demoness Empress smirked. “I should thank you instead. I won’t hide it from you. I’ve been around for so long and only you had caught my eyes with your special physique. I intentionally did it last time. Are you angry?”

Saying anything now would already be too late. There was no use in blaming her, and whether she was telling the truth was still unknown.

“Since some things have already happened, it cannot be helped. She is innocent. No matter what happens, it is a fact that my blood is in her veins.” Qing Shui couldn’t tell if she had intentionally freed him of guilt but it didn’t matter as things had already reached this point. Running away or grumbling was merely the act of a coward.

It was like when bad things happened in his previous life, people who could help wouldn’t get angry or punish others. They would rather quickly doing their best to reduce their losses as anger would not solve the problem.

“Then what if I were to tell you that you and she are not related, and I don’t want you to enter? What would you do?” The Vampiric Empress Demoness looked at Qing Shui’s eyes, as if trying to look into his heart.

Qing Shui was silent. He wanted to act overbearingly, say something overbearing, but thinking about the legacy of the Vampiric Demoness, he was slightly disheartened. he had come here but he had no idea what kind of result he had wanted.

He never liked the idea of forcing anybody, especially when it came to matters like this. He couldn’t see through her intentions. He was already flustered, unable to understand anything.

“If you hate me then I can come here less often. However, would it be still possible for me to still come here sometimes to meet her?” Qing Shui negotiated.

The Vampiric Demoness Empress smiled, happily looking at Qing Shui: “You really don’t mind having a Vampiric Demoness as your daughter?”

“As I’ve already said, she is innocent. She is still my daughter and nothing else matters.”

“Then what about me?” The Vampiric Demoness Empress teased Qing Shui. Even Qing Shui could tell that she was teasing him. Still, he had never expected that this icy, elegant beauty would show such an expression.

“What about you?” Qing Shui asked, not able to understand what the question really meant.

She continued, “My daughter is also your daughter. What am I to you?”

“What do you want to be?” Qing Shui asked seriously as he really couldn’t tell what she was thinking.

The Vampiric Demoness Empress lightly batted her eyelashes. With those thin, long eyelashes stunning people with her beauty, she raised her head: “You’re actually incredibly biased against Vampiric Demonesses.”

Qing Shui shook his head: “ I’m not biased against anyone. I just can’t accept actions that intentionally steal away others’ lives.”

“The strongest survive. This is the rule of the natural world. Since every creature has its right to live, the meat you eat is also harming other living creatures. Eating their meat and drinking their blood is no different from what we Vampiric Demonesses do.” The Vampiric Demonic Empress looked straight at Qing Shui.
