In an instant, Ainsley felt a strong bloody flavor bursting in her mouth, as if she was drinking fresh blood from somewhere.
This would be disgusting if she were human, but Ainsley was now in her blood clan form, and it was the first time she had come into contact with blood.
The reaction was…quite different.
The kids in the blood clan race who had awakened their bloodline or had been successfully turned into pure-blooded members didn't directly bite people's necks to drink blood.
They would always get a bit of fresh blood from animals, and the adults would mix the blood into their food or drinks— just like now.
The bat-shaped candy was actually a candy created with the blood of a special bat-like animal in the blood clan kingdom.
Let's just say bats were as common as chickens in the blood clan's kingdom, just like how the doves were common birds in the celestials' Sky Kingdom.
The adults in the blood clan usually gave bat-shaped candies to little kids who had just come into contact with blood for the first time.
The blood contained inside this candy was mild and wouldn't make the kids feel 'drunk' because of the blood clan members who had constantly changed after thousands of years...
Blood wasn't their main staple anymore but more like an expensive beverage in human society—for example...alcohol.
Of course, there would be 'cheap alcohol' in the blood clan too, and this candy was like a little bit of rum added to the dessert for humans.
Ainsley rolled the bat-shaped candy in her mouth, and her sharp fangs had already snapped the bat's wings in half.
This candy was also a way for the little kids who had just grown their vampire fangs to grind their teeth and know how to use their sharp fangs.
For a moment, a bloody smell filled Ainsley's nose, and her entire mouth was full of the bitter-sweet and fishy taste of blood, but for her...
The candy only tasted like a bitter-sweet rum that she used to eat in some little cakes and desserts.
She wouldn't even know that she was consuming blood for the first time if not for the obvious smell of blood lingering around her!
Of course, if the blood smells fishy and pungent when she was in her human form, now, for Ainsley, the blood smelled like fragrant wine.
It was indeed not too sweet and suitable for children so that they wouldn't get cavities after eating too much 'sugar'.
Still, even when the baby felt that what she smelled and tasted was good, after she realized that the candy was made with an unknown creature's blood , she was still shaken.
Ainsley had lived as humans for a few decades and had only been a vampire for weeks at most.
Her way of thinking was still like humans, and for a while, she couldn't adapt to the fact that she had just eaten blood in a candy form!
Ainsley had a psychological stress and almost spat out the candy, but the king's gentle voice suddenly sounded above her head.
"It's okay, don't spit it out. I know your human's way of thinking will make you feel so disgusted, but in your blood clan form, you need blood to grow up well."
Especially when the baby was still so young! Really only four years old!
Ainsley subconsciously listened to the king and didn't spit the candy out, just trying to ignore the fact that she was eating a blood candy.
Without thinking about it, all she smelled and tasted was indeed something delicious, not disgusting at all.
Of course, Joan, who witnessed all of this, almost had a heart attack.
She didn't think the king would start introducing Ainsley to eating and drinking blood!
Even when she first awakened her bloodline in her teenage era, she still had to adjust her psychology for months before coming into contact with animal blood.
Not to mention other creatures' blood...just a chicken's blood was enough to make Joan almost puke non-stop, despite feeling that the taste was good!
It was precisely because she suddenly felt that blood was good that, for a while, her human mentality almost confused her and made her believe that she was a psycho.
If a human suddenly drank blood and said it was good when it wasn't cooked and was still raw...not just a drop or two but a cup of it...
Joan might also yell 'pervert'!
Humans had many cuisines involving cooked blood that they turned into sauces and other kinds of food, but almost no one would drink a cup of fresh blood, right?
What Ainsley ate now was preserved blood, like a frozen drink or something.
It wasn't exactly fresh but was indeed raw.
Joan was afraid that Ainsley would have a big reaction to this and was really afraid that the kid would puke straight on the king's lap.
Fortunately, Ainsley's mental strength was strong and maybe because her body was still a kid.
She subconsciously accepted new things faster than when Joan first drank blood.
This was why the king insisted on giving the blood bat-shaped candy to Ainsley because the best moment to introduce little blood clan members to blood was when they were still a child.
After Ainsley kept the candy in her mouth for a while longer, she finally overcame her human mentality and secretly hypnotized herself.
This blood is like regular alcohol or soda when she was a human...
Anyway, she didn't like alcohol, but if there was a type of blood that tastes like cola or other sweet beverages such as milk tea and other things...
She might not feel so repulsive anymore!
