Chapter 287 - Uncontrollable Hunger and Thirst

She lifted her hand and felt her own pulse. She felt her pulse thumping furiously. All of the tiredness in her body was completely gone. She felt as if there was an energy source in her body, making her bustle with energy.

She could not help but muttered to herself, “So this is what it feels like to be a vampire…”

Although she had picked a vampire, for some unknown reason, she felt that there was nothing good about it. She looked around her and realized that she was at home. She could not help but feel helpless. How dumb was it to be bitten in her own home!

Having this thought in mind, she got up directly to close the windows.

No lights in the house were turned on, so it was pitch dark. However, Tang Xia was still able to see perfectly fine, as if she had night vision. She observed her surroundings with caution.

She could not help but wonder, “I don’t even know where Ye Yifan is and if he had gone through so much pain like me.”

She shook her head. She only felt a little hungry and turned around to head to the kitchen to search for food to eat. However, she realized that there were only a few bread and milk.

Caressing her own stomach, she felt helpless and could only live with it. However, when she brought the bread to her mouth, she paused.

Taking a sniff of the bread, she found that it smelt disgusting. It smelt like some chemical products. There was no fragrance of food at all. After a moments’ hesitation, she still decided to eat it. After all, she was really hungry.

But after she chewed on it for a second, she regretted it instantly. For some reason, it tasted like wax, resulting in a nauseous feeling after consuming chemical products. She could not hold it back anymore and dashed into the toilet to spit everything out. She finally felt better after that.

When she returned to the kitchen, she looked at the milk and could not help but feel paranoid. She felt fearful as she was no longer human. With trembling hands, she picked it up and took a sip. It was like clear water with no taste.

At this moment, she became devastated and threw the milk in her hands aside.

She did not know what to do now. Caressing her stomach, she felt even hungrier by the minute, making her even uncomfortable. She was panicking, feeling annoyed, and did not know what to do. All these emotions were mixed together. She did not know what to do at all. Looking at herself in the mirror, she realized that the wound on her shoulder had disappeared already, leaving behind the large surface area of blood on her shirt.

She turned around and sighed as she went back to her room to change her clothes. The room was eerily silent, sending chills down her spine. This loneliness was eroding her heart.

Feeling afraid, she crouched down in a corner. Her hunger was increasingly eroding her own consciousness. She used all her strength to hold back the thought and grab onto herself.

After an unknown period of time, she felt herself becoming stiffer. Just as she was about to lose consciousness, a ray of light suddenly shone in.

Tang Xia became wide awake instantly. While she struggled to lay her hands on her stomach that was in throbbing pain, she got up to draw the curtains. After all, vampires are afraid of the light.

However, as she approached the window and laid her hands on the curtains, the sunlight shone on her face directly. She realized that she did not feel anything at all and felt that it was very strange. She tried to test it again by moving forward. She confirmed that she was really not afraid of the light.

Feeling confused, she could not help but scratched her head. At this instant, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her eyes. Not knowing what to do, she quickly covered them.

But it only lasted for a second. The pain came and went quickly. She quickly ran to the toilet to check her eyes, but she realized that they had turned blue. She covered her mouth in shock.

She has now…turned into another species.

Feeling the spasms from the starvation, she suddenly lifted her head and looked into the mirror. She had a determined look on her face; she could not continue to stay in this room.

She must think of a solution. With that in mind, she turned around and grabbed a pair of sunglasses before turning around and stepping out of the door.

When she stepped out of the door, she felt her whole body warming up under the sun light. She still did not understand why vampires were afraid of light, but she was not.

She shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Now that her hunger was getting even more intense, she kept her head lowered as she walked on the streets and tried to make herself unnoticeable.

At this moment, a small girl suddenly ran towards her and into her embrace. Tang Xia stumbled and quickly held onto the girl. The girl found her footing and looked at her in a daze.

But just as Tang Xia touched the little girl’s white, silky skin on her neck, her eyes bulged open immediately.

The accumulated hunger attacked her logical thoughts violently. At this moment, a middle-aged woman ran towards them quickly and pulled the girl away. She smiled apologetically, “I’m sorry for letting my child run into you, please don’t take it to heart.”

After which, she hit the back of the little girl’s head, “Quickly apologize!”

The little girl nodded obediently. She turned around and stared at Tang Xia with her big, glistening eyes. “I’m sorry, older sister.” Tang Xia suddenly felt her vision become blurry and she tried very hard to not go after her neck.

Looking at the woman, Tang Xia’s eyes were instantly attracted by her neck as well. She turned around and realized that all the people around her had white necks.

She could not stand it anymore and pushed the middle-aged woman away and ran away. The woman was shocked by her sudden action and frowned annoyedly, “Where did this psycho come from?” After this, she led her daughter away.

Tang Xia did not know how far she ran, she only knew that she was exhausted. She leaned against an empty valley and gasped for fresh air.

However, even after running, her hunger was not alleviated at all. On the contrary, the visuals from earlier kept playing in her head.

She could not help but took in a deep breath and took out a small knife from her pocket. She had prepared this earlier for self-defense. Although she looked more dangerous now, out of self-awareness, she still prepared a knife.

She aimed the sharp tip at her wrist. As if having made a big decision, she sliced it across her big artery. In that instant, blood started to overflow, staining the ground bright red.

The audience in the live stream platform were all surprised; they did not know what Tang Xia was trying to do.

But just shortly after she cut herself, the wound healed again. Tang Xia became firm and gave herself even more cuts. The ground was covered with her blood and it looked extremely appalling.

She finally stopped when she felt her body getting weaker. She threw the knife onto the ground and walked out of the valley.

Eventually, she decided to go to the hospital. After tidying her clothes, she put on her sunglasses to make herself seem just like everyone else.

However, she was shaking from trying to withstand her hunger. No matter what, she did not look normal at all. A nurse saw that she was not well and quickly came up to ask, “Miss, is anything wrong?”

Tang Xia tried her best to lower her head and look away from the nurse’s skin that was exposed. Tang Xia stared at the nurse’s shoes and said with a trembling voice, “I…I feel week, I think I need blood transfusion.”

The nurse took a moment to examine her carefully. She did indeed look weak, she stumbled even when walking.

She nodded and helped Tang Xia into the department to look for a doctor. The doctor saw that she was indeed not well and quickly arranged for a work up.

Tang Xia kept on pleading for a blood transfusion, but the doctor hesitated after looking at the results. He shook his head slowly, “You are indeed a little anemic and needs to be hospitalized, but you don’t need a blood transfusion, we’re not quite there yet.”

Looking at the doctor and hearing the results, Tang Xia could not hold back anymore. All of her emotions came gushing into her mind all at once.

She was devastated. With the desperation of not knowing what she was going to do, she lost her balance and stumbled two steps back. The doctor and the nurse were shocked and quickly came forward to hold onto her.

But when she saw their skin, she pushed them away rudely. With a tint of despair in her eyes, she warned them, “Don’t touch me! Stay away from me!” After which, she crouched down in a corner.

Being in a state of shock, the nurse looked at the doctor. The doctor was also not sure what was wrong with Tang Xia. At that moment, a rattling sound came from the door.

Tang Xia turned to look and saw a whole cart full of blood bags. In that instant, her mind instructed her to push away the doctor and the nurse and dash towards the cart.

A bunch of nurses was just about to send a cart-full of fresh blood into the blood bank. The nurse and doctor who were pushed over felt dizzy and had yet to recover.

When they turned to look over, they saw Tang Xia running away with two bags of blood without looking back. The two nurses in charge were initially talking among themselves. They would never imagine that someone would snatch away the blood. They were flabbergasted.

The doctor and nurse started to run, they were anxious to catch her. The two nurses also realized what was going on and started to chase.

Maybe because she had turned into a vampire, Tang Xia’s physical capabilities were much better. She outran any normal person and dashed out of the hospital like a whirlwind.

She ran home while staggering all the way and never once did she look back. She did not even know when she lost her glasses. The hand that held onto the key to open the door was even trembling a little.

After pushing the door open, she leaned against it and gasped for air. After an unknown period of time, she finally calmed down.

Holding onto the two bags of blood, she looked at them for a moment. She felt her body craving for it, but she could not bring herself to open it. Although she was very clear in her heart that this was just a game.

But she could not bring herself to drink it. She could only tremble while holding onto them. Her heart had never been so conflicted.
