Chapter 27 She's No Longer a Child

The girl seemed to have no idea what she was doing and kept licking the fresh blood off the man's finger, taking tiny lick after tiny lick.

Mu Jingyan's back tensed up, and for a moment, he dared not move.

This child...

His eyes darkened for a moment, but then he saw the girl suddenly lift her head, her eyes bright and glistening as she looked at him.

"Mommy said that if there's no blood, it won't hurt."

In her childhood memories, her mother always had to undergo surgery. The young Tong Tong, worried about her mother, would always ask if it hurt, and her mother would always say that as long as there was no blood, it wouldn't hurt.

The young Tong Tong believed her, but couldn't understand why her mother didn't feel pain, yet seemed to grow weaker with each passing day.

Only when she grew up did she realize these were nothing but comforting lies from her mother, but now, with her consciousness muddled, she saw blood and instinctively wanted to clean it off.
