Song Chuanqi recalls the conversation he had with his son-in-law that day.
His son-in-law said, "Apart from drinking blood, there is no other way to alleviate the craving, unless you can endure this urge purely through willpower. However, your body is currently weak, I would suggest you to drink blood, or you might not make it through."
He once asked his son-in-law: "Did you alleviate your pain by drinking blood?"
His son-in-law replied, "I did it once, afterwards, I chose resistance."
He asked his son-in-law, "Why did you stop after drinking only once?"
His son-in-law replied, "I didn't want to become a blood-thirsty addict."
Considering he would have to drink blood in the future if he gets sick, Song Chuanqi was filled with the same defiance as his son-in-law; he too didn't want to become a blood-drinking monster.
If his son-in-law could hold on, why couldn't he?
He didn't want to lose to the younger generation!
