Chapter 224 Smells so good, can I drink your blood? —Eve & Zero 2
Successfully checked in, beginning a life of being a guest in someone else's home (just kidding), but now I'm the one in charge.
Just imagine how close we'll be in the future; we might be able to find Zero's weaknesses, and then the Witch Clan's bloodline would be a piece of cake.
Eve rested her chin on one hand, her lips curving upwards in a wild smile, while the inner voice inside her laughed heartily.
Unfortunately, this joy didn't last long before it was interrupted by Zero coming out of the kitchen.
Eve's smile froze instantly, and she looked blankly at Zero, who was placing food on the table, and asked, "What are these...?"
Zero smiled gently at her, his words seemingly tinged with apology:
"This is all we have left at home. It's getting late, so let's make do with this meal for now. I'll go buy some fresh ingredients tomorrow, okay?"
"Do not……"
Eve was about to refuse, but then she remembered that she was currently disguised as a human, so she could only grit her teeth and agree, "I'm not picky about food, anything is fine, anything is fine, hehe."
"That's good. Eat up, don't be shy. There aren't many rules here, just make yourself at home." Zero handed over a knife and fork.
Eve took the food with a forced smile, but hesitated for a long time before actually eating it.
Damn it, they forgot that humans also need to eat.
Although she can disguise herself as a human, like other vampires, she can neither taste nor digest human food.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Zero asked when she didn't move.
"Ah, I like it. It's just that I haven't had such a sumptuous meal in so long that I'm a little dazed."
Eve feigned sadness, trying to stall for time as long as possible, and fabricated a story: "After my father and mother passed away, my uncle's family never let me sit at the table to eat, and I was usually given leftovers..."
Zero believed her lies, and his eyes were practically overflowing with pity.
"From now on, you can tell me what you want to eat while you're here. My cooking skills are decent, and if they're not so great, I can take you out to eat."
Damn it, we overdid it.
Just thinking about living in the Zero family in the future, having to eat human food every day, and humans seem to eat three meals a day!
Eve felt her vision go black and wished she could run away on the spot.
Forget it, if I run now, I'll probably be burned to ashes in no time.
At worst, I'll just sneak off and throw it up later.
For the sake of witch blood, we'll fight to the death!
Eve fiercely forked a piece of bacon and shoved it into her mouth like a warrior cutting off his own arm.
With such a great sacrifice, she absolutely has to drink this blood!
……
After dinner, Eve went out of her room and saw Zero sitting in the yard with his back to her.
Under the moonlight, her fair neck, exposed when she lowered her head, stood out prominently in her eyes, prompting her to unconsciously stick out her two canine teeth.
It's a good time!
She deliberately slowed her pace, gradually approaching Zero, until she was two steps away from him, then raised her hand as if to slash him.
Take him by surprise and knock him unconscious!
To everyone's surprise, Zero seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, turning around to look at her: "Why did you come out? Is something missing?"
"Oh, no, everything is fine."
Eve abruptly retracted her fangs, her hand transforming into a palm strike that swung left and right at him, a smile playing on her lips as if to greet him. Then, she immediately changed the subject, feigning curiosity, and crouched down beside him, asking:
"What are you doing?"
“Process the medicinal herbs,” Zero replied.
Seeing Eve squatting, he moved a small stool over for her and continued working on his things, saying, "These are all medicinal herbs I picked today. They were simply processed when I picked them, but they still need to be dried."
Eve, resting her chin on her hand, asked listlessly, "What are they used for?"
Having been asked about something that interested him, Zero, who wasn't usually very talkative, changed his tune when he mentioned medicinal herbs, patiently explaining:
"This is a moon shadow grass. You see, its leaves are silvery-white with a faint blue fluorescence along the edges, resembling a crescent moon. At night, it emits a faint silver halo, just like it does now, hence its name."
Zero held the moonshadow grass in front of her, gesturing for her to smell it: "Because its fragrance is pleasant and has a sleep-inducing effect, it is mainly used to treat insomnia. However, it still needs to be dried under the moonlight and then stored in a sealed, light-proof glass bottle."
After dealing with the Moonshadow Grass, he pointed to another bottle and said, "This is Dragon's Breath Flower, which can be used to treat external injuries and burns. It is extremely rare, and I just happened to find it today."
"Unlike Moonshadow Grass, its flowers must be soaked in a special dragon's blood resin immediately after being picked, and then stored in a cool, dry place..."
Eve looked down at Zero as he processed the herbs, her gaze gradually becoming vacant, her mind blank.
She was just asking casually; she didn't really want to know what these messy weeds were for or how to deal with them.
Zero had already described all the medicinal herbs he had obtained that day, and he was still somewhat unsatisfied. However, seeing that it was getting late and Eve was also getting sleepy, he said apologetically:
"Sorry, isn't this boring?"
"Oh, no, no." Eve snapped out of her daze and said, feigning politeness, "It was quite interesting. I learned a lot, and next time I see these, I won't mistake them for weeds and trample them."
Not at all. She treats medicinal herbs and weeds alike, trampling them all without hesitation.
“You really find this interesting.” Zero was somewhat surprised.
"Ah, it's actually quite interesting, hehe." Eve squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, saying them against her will.
It's so funny, it almost made her fall asleep!
"Do you still remember the characteristics, uses, and storage methods of these medicinal herbs?" Zelo pressed.
Eve nodded; when it came to memory, she had never lost.
Although I would just space out after listening to a few sentences, but:
"Moonshadow grass, loves moonlight, mainly used for..."
"Dragon's Breath Flower..."
"Gloomy Mushroom..."
……
Zero was increasingly delighted as he listened. After Eve finished explaining everything, he said directly, "How about you learn pharmaceutical manufacturing from me?"
"Oh, no need," Eve said, politely declining.
Zero explained, "If you don't want to stay here anymore in the future, you can earn an income on your own."
"Moreover, medicine and poison are not separate, so you can also protect yourself."
Eve was about to refuse, but then changed her mind and said, "Poison? You can make poison? Um, I mean, you don't seem like the kind of person who, well, can make poison."
Indeed, Zero looked dignified and gentle, exuding a calm and reserved aura. Dressed in white, he resembled a god from the heavens.
"When you're out in the world, you always need some means to protect yourself." Zero's eyes drooped, his long, straight eyelashes casting shadows.
I don't know if this poison will work on the witch clan.
Wouldn't it be interesting if she could use what he taught her to drug him?
Eve's eyes darted around, and she replied, "Okay, I want to learn. But don't get annoyed if I learn slowly."
"No, as long as you study hard, even if you only learn a little, it's still very good," Zero said gently, looking at her.
