Hearing Furina's words, Su Yuan suddenly found himself at a complete loss for what to do...
If it was just a part of his body, and there were no specific requirements regarding the type or amount, Su Yuan had initially planned to offer some of his hair…
After all, a normal person has around a hundred thousand strands of hair—plucking two wouldn't cause baldness or anything…
Wait a minute… Was he focusing on the wrong part here?
But judging from Furina's current demands—no half-hearted efforts, and he had to show his sincerity—a couple strands of hair clearly wouldn't cut it…
The problem was, unlike Furina who could manipulate Eerie power to condense it into bugs, Su Yuan couldn't do anything like that.
How was he supposed to present a part of his own body to her?
Wait… maybe by using elemental power to condense something?
Su Yuan suddenly had an idea.
Even though he couldn't manipulate Eerie power right now, he could still control Geo elemental power!
If he used Geo energy to condense rocks, earth, or mud into a physical form… sure, it wasn't exactly food, but eating a little wouldn't be lethal or anything…
But very quickly, Su Yuan realized that this idea might not be feasible after all…
Because Furina had clearly emphasized—it had to be a part of his body.
And the reason he could manipulate Geo power in the first place was ultimately thanks to the Geo Dragon Sovereign's power granted by Azhdaha.
It wasn't his own power, and certainly not a part of his body…
Su Yuan suddenly felt a wave of pessimism wash over him.
Did he really have to cut open his own body—take out one of his organs, or chop off a hand or a foot—to meet Furina's demand and get through this crisis?
"Darling, why are you just standing there in silence?"
Furina's voice came from beside him:
"Could it be that preparing a simple midnight snack is actually that difficult for you?"
Looking at Furina's expression and hearing the tone in her voice, Su Yuan realized she was starting to grow impatient.
He had to make a choice—and fast…
First of all, his internal organs weren't something that could be removed casually.
Every single one served an important function…
Although, if he had to name one, the appendix didn't seem all that useful.
Its only notable role was to get inflamed and cause trouble.
But Su Yuan had zero confidence in opening up his own body and precisely extracting just the appendix...
Although a kidney could technically be removed and one could still survive with the other, Su Yuan still didn't have the confidence to perform a high-precision, surgery-level operation on himself…
He knew very well: given the circumstances, the only thing he could reasonably target was his outward appearance.
His legs were out of the question for now.
After all, he still needed mobility—losing even one leg would make movement unbalanced and terribly inconvenient.
His arms were also crucial.
Whether it was the intelligence on his left hand or the guidance on his right, both were highly valuable.
There was no way he could afford to cut off an entire arm.
But fingers were a different story.
The intel from both hands only appeared on the palms, so removing a finger likely wouldn't interfere with that function.
Cutting off an ear was also a possible option.
After all, the outer ear was just cartilage and wouldn't really affect his hearing, since it didn't touch the cochlea itself…
But Su Yuan was concerned—compared to slicing off a finger, would cutting off an ear seem like he wasn't being sincere enough?
In the end, seeing that Furina was growing increasingly impatient, Su Yuan decided to cut off a finger and not just the least important pinky, but the most crucial one: the thumb.
That would show his full sincerity.
So, Su Yuan picked up the small knife he always carried with him, and slowly moved it toward the thumb on his left hand…
Seeing his actions, Furina nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Darling, so this is what you've prepared as our midnight snack. I'm truly delighted!"
"But if it's going to be a liquid, shouldn't we prepare some tableware? It wouldn't be good if it spilled everywhere."
As she spoke, Furina somehow produced two elegant wine glasses and placed them beneath Su Yuan's hand.
Wait a minute…
Hearing Furina's words and seeing the wine glasses, Su Yuan suddenly realized had Furina misunderstood something…?
He was clearly offering his thumb as the midnight snack.
So why did she bring out wine glasses, as if to collect some sort of liquid?
Aren't wine glasses usually used for serving alcohol—especially red wine?
Wait a second! Wine? Red wine? Red…? Blood???
At that moment, Su Yuan finally realized—he had overcomplicated things.
There was no need to extract any organs, no need to cut off a hand, a foot, or an ear.
It seemed that just letting out some blood was enough…
Su Yuan now clearly understood that he had fallen victim to his own rigid thinking, assuming the midnight snack had to be something solid so he never even considered the possibility of using blood.
But apparently, in Furina's eyes, blood—as a liquid—was perfectly acceptable as a midnight snack.
So, Su Yuan no longer planned to slice off his left thumb.
Instead, he placed the small knife against his left wrist—and with a swift stroke, drew a long cut.
Blood sprayed from the wound, streaming downward and dripping steadily into the two wine glasses that Furina had prepared.
After a while, from the blood loss, Su Yuan was already feeling dizzy, lightheaded…
But the wine glasses Furina held still didn't seem anywhere close to being full.
He really wanted to complain—
"Why do these glasses look so small on the outside, yet hold so much? What kind of reverse-volume scam is this?"
But in the end, Su Yuan gritted his teeth and endured.
More time passed.
Finally—both glasses were full.
And Su Yuan? He felt like all the blood had been drained from his body.
He was completely hollowed out, lightheaded, barely conscious…
"Darling, you've worked hard. Tonight's midnight snack—I'm very satisfied."
Furina smiled as she spoke, placing one of the blood-filled wine glasses into Su Yuan's hand, while holding the other herself.
Then she raised her glass, gently clinking it against his.
And in a daze, Su Yuan instinctively raised his own hand and drank the entire glass of his own blood in one go.
The next moment, Su Yuan could no longer hold on.
He collapsed onto the bed—completely unconscious.
In the haze of his fading awareness, he vaguely heard Furina's soft voice:
"Good night, darling. Sweet dreams…"
