Lux had a confused look on his face as he stared at his baby monster, Eiko.
The Half-Elf had no idea how a two-foot tall egg could give birth to a blue slime that was only as big as his hand.
"Brother, you still need to give her a drop of your blood," Iris reminded. "This is how we put our imprint on baby monsters, so that they will fully recognize us as their parents."
"Is that so?" Lux thought as he allowed Iris to lightly prick his left index finger to draw blood. He wasn't an expert when it comes to monster breeding, so he decided to let his step sister guide him to do the finishing touches.
Once enough blood pooled on the tip of his fingertip, Lux then placed it over Eiko's head, but the baby slime did something unexpected.
As if sensing Lux's blood, Eiko raised her head and extended her body to bite his fingertip. The Half-Elf almost jumped back in shock, but was able to stop at the last minute out of sheer willpower.
