Scared?

Since Amelia had already taken over this body, she decided to treat this body as her own. She would figure out a way out of this world. However, for that, every piece of information could be useless. So, Amelia wanted to know more about General Jiang, Jiang Muxun her sister, and that scum fiancé but this was not the correct moment. First, she needed to satisfy her growling stomach. As for the rest of the thing, they can wait. Anyways, she is going to stay in the world and she will slowly learn everything.

Sitting on the bench, she closed her eyes, and her ears perked up. Listening to sounds coming from her south, she knew it was some kind of an animal. Immediately, her eye opened and she smiled. "You stay here," she commanded Shen Li and before he could nod, she flashed away.

Shen Li sighed as she watched her disappear right in front of him. No matter how many times, he had seen her do that, it always seemed to surprise him. He had seen many people with martial arts and spiritual roots do that but this woman was something different.

How did she achieve this talent?

And what happened to her?

Everybody in the capital knew that Jiang Yuyu was a waste. She had no spiritual roots in her body. So, how did she do that? Even people with high talent weren't as fast as her. Who spread that rumor about her? And why didn't she come forward to dispel those rumors? Why didn't she say anything? Why did she let them bully her and say nasty things about her? Why didn't she do anything? Or did she always wanted to hide her strength?

Shen Li was confused but he didn't dare to ask her. He knew he shouldn't care about all of these. How was she like in the past doesn't matter! What matters to him is now her current being. Also, recalling those eyes and those big, long teeth, she looked so inhuman. But, he knew, she was more human and soft than anyone else.

"Take this and make a fire," Amelia commanded out of nowhere.

Shen Li jumped in fright. Looking at her appearing so suddenly in front of him, he was a little scared. His mouth twitched as she looked at two large pheasants in her hand and a bunch of sticks.

Seeing him like this, Amelia chuckled softly. "Scared?"

"A little..." he said honestly and taking the sticks from her hand, he began to make a fire. Soon, after a while, the fire started. Amelia was pleased and she threw the two cleaned pheasants into his hand. "Cook it."

Shen Li nodded. He was quite efficient in doing this. He was the only person and to cook and clean in that former gang. Although, he didn't get much from them to eat. That's why he was all skin and bones. However, he was thankful that they didn't let him starve. So, rolling up his sleeves, he took the pheasant and started to cook it.

Soon enough, a savory smell spread through the surrounding. Amelia took a sniff and immediately her stomach grumbled in excitement and hunger. Her eyes were stuck onto that pheasant. She was to eat it. This would be the first time when she would eat something. After all, vampires don't eat so she doesn't know how human food tastes like.

Subconsciously, Amelia licked her lips and her eyes shined with excitement. In her world, every time she would see a human eat, she would have this desire to do the same. Seeing their face full of pleasure and pure satisfaction she got, she envied it. She wanted to know how it felt like. She wanted to feel and taste those different kinds of flavor on her tongue. But, alas! As a vampire, it was impossible.

Today, when she was getting this wonderful chance, Amelia didn't want to miss it. After roasting the meat, Shen Li took one pheasant and gave it to her. Despite knowing that it was hot and her tongue might get burnt, she still took a bite. Immediately, her eyes were closed as she savored every bit of it. Even though, there was no spice or salt on it, for her, it was the most wonderful feeling in her mouth. It was tasty!

So this is how human food tastes like! It's quite novel....

Amelia thought. Nodding her head, she took another bite when she noticed Shen Li standing beside her, looking at her nervously. That's when she noticed that he was standing there like a little kid waiting for a compliment. "You have some talent," she praised him and patted his head.

Shen Li blushed. Turning around, he rubbed his eyes because he didn't want to cry. The moment she touched his head, he felt as if his mother was touching him. If she would have been alive, then she would have complimented his cooking. He was happy. Taking the other pheasant, he took a big bite. His cheeks bulged as he chewed on the meat.

Amelia was also the same. Her cheeks also bulged cutely like a small round ball. After a while, both of them had finished the entire meat. Patting their filled belly, Shen Li and Amelia looked at each other and laughed. "That's was tasty!"

Shen Li nodded with happiness.

Just when Amelia was about to ask him something, her ear perked up. She could hear some noises from her right side. She looked in that direction and focused on that sound. On seeing her looking in a certain direction, Shen Li frowned. "What's wrong?"

"Shhhhhh!"

Amelia listened to noises on the other side for a while. It was the sound of swords going against each other. A fierce battle was going on over that side. She frowned for a moment, got up, and quickly washed her hands and face. Shen Li did the same. He didn't know what was going on but he was going to follow her.

"How far is the capital from here?" she asked.

"Very far," Shen Li answered. "Why?"

Amelia smirked. "Buckle up. I have found the perfect ride for us," she informed.

Shen Li: ????????????
