"How dare you splash me..."

Suddenly, Natsuki plunged his hands into the pool and attacked Erii in turn, the water splashing like ocean waves.

"Ugh..."

Erii was caught off guard and almost drowned in the pool.

"Splash..."

Her snow-white arms kept retaliating, splashing water everywhere, accompanied by silvery laughter.

The two started a water fight...

Chapter Sixty-Six: Erii is bleeding.

"Wait! I surrender! I surrender!"

Finally, Xia Mu raised his hands and begged for mercy.

This is so unfair! He was dressed perfectly fine, and it must have been uncomfortable for him to get wet, while Erii was in the water the whole time and was already soaked.

"laugh."

The girl's smile was pure and lovely, without any impurities.

The alluring body partially hidden underwater, along with the delicate collarbone that occasionally surfaced, constantly captivated Xia Mu's attention.

until…

A thin line of blood emerged from the bottom of the water and floated on the surface.

"Where did the blood come from?!"

Xia Mu was shocked: "You're injured?!"

"Um…"

Erii's bright smile faded, and she hugged her knees with her arms, looking rather pitiful.

"What happened? Who hurt you?"

Xia Mu braced himself on the edge of the bathtub, almost leaning over the water, and moved close to her.

When Erii saw his anxious look, her heart suddenly felt warm, and her mood was like the blooming flowers in spring, fragrant and overflowing.

However, she has indeed blossomed and is bleeding...

“I get injured a few days every month and bleed a lot,” Erii said softly. “I don’t like bleeding, so I soak in water, and then I started to like taking baths.”

"Do you get injured a few days every month?"

Xia Mu's hand slipped, and his handsome face fell face-down, plunging directly into the water with a splash.

He never expected to hear such an answer!

"Mumu!"

Erii reached out to help him lift his head and used a dry towel from the bathtub to wipe his face.

Natsuki, holding onto the bathtub, straightened up again, took the towel from Erii's hand to wipe her face, and said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Eri, don't you even know what menstruation is?"

"Menstruation? What's that?"

Erii's eyes lit up with curiosity.

"Uh…"

Xia Mu froze for a moment while wiping her face, then quickly switched to a science-explaining mode: "Menstruation, huh? Menstruation is a sign that a girl is growing up. It manifests as bleeding for a few days each month. Physiologically, it means that her reproductive function has matured, and she can… um…"

He was talking for a while, but then he couldn't continue.

So I opened my phone and searched, showing her Baidu Qianke (a Chinese search engine).

But Erii had even more questions: "What is an ovary? What does ovulation mean? What is the periodic shedding of the uterine lining?"

Xia Mu: "..."

"Eri, on the south side of the bookshelf against the wall, in the second column and third row, there is a textbook on physiology. You can go and study it."

He turned his back, preparing to run away.

Let professional teaching be left to professional books.

"Oh…"

Erii stretched out her wet little hand and grabbed his right hand in time: "Mumu, do you mean that I bleed every month because I've grown up, not because I'm injured?"

Xia Mu was pulled back by her wet clothes and had no choice but to stop. "Yes, this isn't an injury; it's actually good for your health."

"Oh, so every girl is like this?"

Erii's face brightened considerably.

She has always felt that she is different from others. She is in the intensive care unit at the drop of a hat. Her family looks at her like she is a porcelain doll, while the medical staff look at her like she is a monster.

The Fairy Tree Romance

Therefore, she regarded the fact that her body bled regularly as something that made her different from others.

In her mind, she knew she wouldn't live long.

Now that I understand this is just a sign that a normal girl is growing up, I feel happy.

"Ok?"

At that moment, Natsuki suddenly turned around, not noticing Erii's captivating figure emerging from the water, but instead looking at his hand that Erii was holding.

A trickle of blood was seeping into his palm.

"What...is going on?"

Not only the blood that accidentally got on her hands, but also the streaks of blood in the bathtub, all seemed to be attracted, continuously absorbing into his palm.

[The host has come into contact with the purest dragon blood. Automatic extraction will be performed, awarding a C-grade bloodline reward.]

I boil!

You piece of trash system!

So you can just grab any dragon blood and turn it into a C-grade bloodline?

Xia Mu was dumbfounded.

He had originally planned to ask Erii for a drop of blood sometime, but not this kind of blood!

Could it get any more awkward?!

However, the redemption of the rewards has no longer been reversed according to his will, and has entered a state of routine transformation.

Xia Mu could clearly feel strands of pure blood flowing from his palms into his body, transforming into streams of blood energy, which, under the perception of his spiritual power, were completely absorbed into the bone marrow of his limbs and bones.

As if some attribute had been activated, the joints of his limbs emitted a faint golden light.

"Thump, thump..."

The heart beats slowly and rhythmically, blood flows through the body like the tide, and newly generated dragon blood in the bone marrow is integrated into the body in a fixed proportion and transported to all parts of the body through the blood vessels.

Every cell in its body greedily absorbs new nutrients, gradually causing Xia Mu to evolve from its very origin.

Strength, speed, and the fighting instincts inherited from the dragon bloodline.

The feeling of gradually becoming stronger within his body was wonderful, but the thought that it was stimulated by Erii's blood made Natsuki feel uneasy all over.

"Mumu, you're sucking my blood!"

Erii exclaimed in surprise, "You've sucked all the blood from the water! You like my blood?"

Xia Mu turned her face away, her cheeks burning, unable to speak.

It's really...so embarrassing...

"It's the first day, I still have a lot left, wait a bit..."

But Erii clearly didn't think so; on the contrary, she felt particularly happy because Natsuki had drunk her blood.

What she loves most is being needed!

She would even give her life if she could be needed!

Out of the corner of his eye, Natsuki saw Erii reach down with her free little hand, seemingly touching something.

But soon, more blood began to gush out from beneath the surface, flowing continuously, and was once again drawn away by him.

Xia Mu: "..."

"Mumu, how about I give you my blood every month from now on?"

Erii touched for a while, then stopped when she realized she had no more measurements left.

She tilted her head up, her eyes full of expectation: "Is this what you need?"

Xia Mu, looking flustered, avoided her gaze, stammering, "This...that..."

But out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught Erii's bright, watery gaze, and the expectation in it almost overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

This girl really, really has no more demands on life.

Being able to see the world and be needed is all the little happiness in her life.

"I need to…"

With difficulty and embarrassment, Xia Mu managed to say, "I really need it..."

Forget it, it's better than Erii cutting her hand and bleeding it out, that would be too painful.

"laugh."

Erii smiled.

Water droplets from the splashing still clung to her small face, trickling down her neck, past her collarbone, and into her cleavage…

Xia Mu quickly looked away.

"So that's why you developed your bathing habit." He made conversation out of nothingness.

"Yes, bleeding will lead to examination, which is very uncomfortable. I don't want them to see it, so I hide it in the water."
