"Do I really have to become a vampire?!"

Selena Kensington exclaimed in shock.

"..."

As soon as Selena said this, everyone in the room fell silent.

Where did this bizarre idea come from?!

Even Sterling Norwood was momentarily stunned.

Then he helplessly said to Selena, "What on earth is in that little head of yours?"

To have even thought of this.

Selena pouted, but secretly felt relieved.

"Mainly because that’s just what came to mind..."

Timothy Jennings’ mouth twitched slightly as he looked helplessly at his cousin. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Grandma Jennings was also amused by Selena’s words.

She chuckled and continued, "The blood of Sterling is used as a medicine guide, brewed with some special herbs..."

Grandma Jennings briefly explained the method.

In other words, Selena would be spending her days drinking medicine in the coming times.

"With the dilution of herbs, the blood in Sterling’s system won’t harm you, but instead will suppress the newborn’s instinct to plunder."

In the Ancient Times, the bond between blood relations was particularly important.

A child of a Great Demon would dare not defy his father.

Hearing Grandma Jennings say this, Selena was completely relieved.

It’s just drinking medicine, at worst, she could consider herself an invalid.

Better than having to drink blood directly.

That would gross her out.

However, Sterling wasn’t as optimistic as Selena; he was well aware of the issues with his blood.

"But my blood..."

Sterling expressed his concern.

The blood of The Beast Lord was not something that could be obtained so easily.

Not to mention the strange effects of Chilong blood itself, just with Chilong’s high and mighty character, it would be impossible for him to let his blood flow easily.

Thus, when Sterling decided to use his blood for experimentation, the bloodline within him would launch a rebellion.

"Why don’t you give it another try?"

Grandma Jennings said kindly and gently.

She seemed old, with slightly sagging skin on her face.

But those eyes were very clear.

Making one want to believe at first glance.

Sterling paused for a moment, then picked up a fruit knife from the table.

He made a slight cut on his finger.

Blood started to flow from the cut.

Selena’s gaze was fixed on the blood flowing out.

Just when the blood was exposed to the air and about to begin coagulating, Grandma Jennings’ fingers subtly moved through the air.

A sliver of golden light followed her fingertips to Sterling’s side.

The golden light surrounded the dripping blood of Sterling.

The golden light acted like a vessel, carrying those few drops of blood.

And those few drops of blood, instead of coagulating, remained in liquid form.

"This..."

Grandma Jennings seemed to realize something, her brows slightly furrowing.

Then she looked at Sterling and Selena with astonishment.

"Did you drink Selie’s blood?!"

Grandma Jennings asked in surprise.

This question from Grandma Jennings drew attention from the others as well.

For a moment, they all looked at Sterling and Selena.

Sterling was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Yeah."

So he admitted it.

Grandma Jennings sighed softly, "No wonder you woke up so quickly..."

According to her calculations, even if Sterling were to wake up as soon as possible, it would take at least a day.

But Sterling had awoken in less than a day...

Turns out he drank Selena’s blood.

The Heavenly Master Bloodline within Selena was very pure, which was why it had stimulated a reaction in Sterling.

Grandma Jennings looked at Selena nervously, "Sterling hasn’t lost control, has he?"

She knew how the Chilong bloodline craved the Heavenly Master Bloodline, like an endless void.

To them, Heavenly Master blood was like sweet nectar.

When they come into contact with Heavenly Master blood, they instinctively initiate their primal plundering.

"...No."

Selena thought about Sterling’s behavior just now and shook her head slightly.

Then she added.

"Quite obedient."

He wasn’t? She just pinched him once and he behaved obediently.

Selena silently grumbled in her heart.

"..."

Sterling, hearing Selena’s words, subconsciously remembered the threatening words Selena had said to him earlier.

"......"

The others, upon hearing Selena’s words, had an odd expression on their faces.

Obedient?

Was she serious?

But seeing that Selena seemed fine here, they didn’t delve into Selena’s earlier words.

"Grandma, what kind of herbs do we need?"

Selena asked curiously.

Grandma Jennings smiled slightly, "Not regular herbs."

"These are herbs growing on Mount Nimbus, nurtured by the Celestial Vein."

Only those herbs can neutralize the overbearing power of Sterling’s bloodline.

Otherwise, if Selena were to drink Sterling’s blood directly, her body might not handle it.

"Timothy will head to Stonefall later to meet with the Sutton Family."

"In the meantime, just get some rest."

Grandma Jennings advised carefully.

Selena felt much more at ease, "Okay."

After discussing the matter, the kitchen had already prepared dinner.

It was just in time for dinner, so Selena had everyone in the living room stay for dinner together.

After dinner, Grandma Jennings and Timothy stayed in the main house.

After Sterling entered the bathroom, Selena lay on the bed.

She picked up the phone beside her.

She had just arrived in Aethelgard at noon and immediately heard about Sterling’s situation, so she hadn’t checked her phone since coming back.

As expected, her WeChat messages had been bombarded.

[Little Sister’s Down Jacket]: Sis, are you back yet?

[Little Sister’s Down Jacket]: ???

[Little Sister’s Down Jacket]: Did you disappear?!

Apart from these few messages from Hugh Kensington, there were others from Vivian Sutton.

[Vivian Doesn’t Want to Be Poor]: Are you back yet?

[Vivian Doesn’t Want to Be Poor]: Send me a message when you arrive in Aethelgard.

...

The rest were congratulatory messages from others who saw her post on her Moments.

Selena glanced at them and replied to each one.

Once she finished replying, Selena opened her chat with Hugh Kensington.

Her fingertips tapped lightly on the screen in an irregular pattern.

After a while, she sighed softly.

She typed out a message and sent it.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Hugh, Grandma and Timothy are at the Norwood Family now.

Selena hadn’t planned on hiding the matter of Grandma Jennings and Timothy from Hugh.

After all, he’s also a grandchild of the Rivers Family and has the right to know about this.

Hugh was very shocked to learn about this, he didn’t send another WeChat message.

Instead, he called directly.

"...Sis, are you serious?!"

The first thing he asked was this.

Selena could feel the shock in Hugh’s tone and the slight tremble in his voice.

After all, they were relatives they hadn’t seen in over a decade, and now they suddenly appeared, so Hugh was somewhat incredulous.
