Mother, I am sorry

Fu Sheng clutches his heart. He suddenly feels like his heart is being burned. Each cell has been poisoned by a smoldering fire. He knows this familiar sensation. He has touched the enchanted wood once. Accidentally. That was around three thousand years ago, but he never forgot how it felt like. No vampire can ever forget that.

His insides are scalding and on the verge of turning into acid. The mother and son look at their daughter's husband. They start calling his name. Huang Wei Yi tries to grab his shoulder. Fu Sheng pushes him away before the hand can touch him. In the next moment, Huang Wei Yi is in the air. He slams onto the wall and collapses on the ground. Mother Huang screams and runs to her son.

It's only been a few seconds. It is enough to turn a pure vampire into smoke and ashes. Fu Sheng is surprised that he is still alive. The pain is not any less.

Far away, the eight other vampires can also experience the pain. They fall on the spot and writhe on the floor. They gasp for air. It's like something is choking their throats. Though they can't die if their vampire king is killed, they will feel the pain. There is no question. The vampire king has been stabbed by the enchanted wood.

Fu Sheng manages to walk to the kitchen. Huang Qiuyan is standing straight. She is looking at her sister in law with pain and tears in her eyes. She doesn't seem affected by the enchanted wooden dagger on her back. Meng Su Yin is more shocked than anyone in the house. She looks at the creature in front of her. What is she? Why can't she die when she stabbed her with the enchanted wood?

"Why aren't you dying?" Meng Su Yin steps back. "Don't come close to me. Don't hurt me. Go away, Monster."

[System: Dear Host, can you slap her for stabbing you in the back literally?]

[Host: She is scared of me. In the past, she always laughed at me for being stupid and weak. Now, she is scared. Why I am upset?]

[System: Dear Host, it is because she can no longer see you as a weak human. You are a monster to her. You are a monster to all humans. You cannot live with them as a family.]

[Host: My family isn't my family anymore.]

Fu Sheng grabs the dagger. It burns his hand, but he doesn't let go. Huang Qiuyan is shocked. She tries to turn around. Fu Sheng grabs her shoulder with his left hand to keep her unmoving. His right hand is turning black. The smell of flesh burning is in the air. He pulls the dagger out of her heart and throws it far away. The dagger disappears in the air and goes back in its owner's hand.

Before he collapses the ground, Huang Qiuyan holds him in her arms.

[Host: What's wrong with him?]

[System: Dear Host, I think that he is affected when she stabbed you in the heart. The enchanted woods can turn a vampire into ashes, but it can't kill you. Since your hearts are linked, then it will hurt him if you are ever stabbed by the enchanted woods.]

[Host: Hearts are linked? What are you saying?]

[System: Dear Host, something changed in your body when he bit you in the woods during sex. Your bodies and minds are linked. If one of you dies, the other will also die.]

[Host: What.THE.HELL!!!]

Meng Su Yin points the dagger toward Huang Qiuyan. The pure vampire is unconscious. His right hand is blackened like coal. Huang Qiuyan is really his mate. Though enchanted wood couldn't kill Huang Qiuyan, it has affected her mate. If Huang Qiuyan was an average vampire, he would have died along with her. He lived because Huang Qiuyan's heart could not be turned into ashes by the enchanted wood.

"Sister in law, put that down." Huang Qiuyan is upset. She gets it that she is scared of her. However, nothing has changed other than her body. Can she at least hear her out?

Meng Su Yin looks at the unconscious vampire king. If he is affected by the enchanted woods, then both Huang Qiuyan and the vampire king will be killed together if she stabs him in the heart. She leaps toward him, aiming to get his heart. Huang Qiuyan notices her aim.

Just then,

[System: DEAR HOST, STOP HER. YOU WILL DIE.]

Huang Qiuyan grabs her wrist before the dagger could piece Fu Sheng's chest. A vampire hunter is on per with the vampires in terms of strength, vitality, and power. However, Huang Qiuyan is not an average one and Meng Su Yi's rank is lower than an average vampire.

Crack! Huang Qiuyan's grip breaks her wrist bone into two. She screams in pain. Huang Qiuyan let go of Meng Su Yin instantly.

"What is going on here?" Mother Huang has watched everything in horror. Her daughter in law has tried to kill her daughter. Her daughter has broken her daughter in law's wrist. Her son in law is lying unconscious in the ground with a burned arm.

"Mother, I am sorry." Huang Qiuyan picks up the man with her both hands. There is no way that she will leave him here. "I will not return. Please live safely. Think that this daughter has been killed during the apocalypse."

Huang Qiuyan doesn't explain more or wait for her mother to say anything. A blur passes by Mother Huang. Huang Qiuyan and the man disappear from the house.
