Luwei let out a strange, guttural sound…
Lilique had never so desperately wished the other was simply asleep.
But unfortunately, this was the sound Lilique was making as she sniffed and nuzzled against her body, a sound of pure enjoyment.
“Huff… huff… sniff… shameless!”
“To actually… use magic…!”
Luwei could barely manage to breathe, only managing to squeeze a few words out after a long moment.
Nibbling there, biting here… Lilique clumsily searched for a place to sink her teeth.
But she didn’t know how to drink blood at all.
Even when sober, she couldn’t locate the blood vessels, let alone now…
And for Luwei, enduring this was no different from torture.
Under Lilique’s Weakness Magic, Luwei couldn’t muster a single ounce of strength in her entire body.
She could only lie helplessly on the bed, being mauled haphazardly by Lilique, left to pant heavily.
Huff… huff…
Hot.
Finally, Lilique found the most suitable spot.
“Like this… can I get pregnant with a baby?”
Muttering to herself, Lilique gently bit Luwei’s lips.
A faint, sharp pain brought a sliver of clarity to the latter…
But what followed immediately was an intense sense of suffocation—breathing only through her nose was completely insufficient to relieve it!
“Mmph… mmph?!”
I can’t… I can’t breathe!
***
As sunlight streamed into the bedroom, pleasant birdsong filled the air.
Luwei slowly opened her heavy eyelids.
I survived…?
Yet, there was no joy of having narrowly escaped death.
An overwhelming sense of panic rose in Luwei’s heart—
Could it be… had she already been turned into a Blood Slave?
Her first reaction was to reach up and touch her own neck.
Fortunately, the skin on her neck was smooth and delicate, without any marks like puncture wounds.
But the dull ache on her lips was quite distinct…
Luwei extended a finger and lightly touched it… a slight sense of swelling followed.
Pursing her lips, she could faintly taste a metallic, rusty flavor.
Luwei’s eyes flickered slightly as memories from last night gradually surfaced.
So…
Lilique drank the blood from my lips?
And ended up accidentally making me pass out from lack of air?
But even thinking this far,
Luwei couldn’t muster any feelings of anger, only waves of lingering fear.
“Haa… haa… huff…”
Suddenly, even breathing sounds came from behind her.
Luwei belatedly realized that Lilique was still clinging to her like an octopus.
Perhaps because she was too tired yesterday, Lilique was waking up even later than Luwei.
Even asleep, she’s so clingy…
Luwei thought to herself.
Then, her little heart began to beat uncontrollably fast—
This was unavoidable.
Just thinking about the identity of the girl behind her made her feel terrified.
After all, behind Luwei was that Lilique who might seek revenge on her at any moment!
But…
Luwei reconsidered,
She was also the little Li Ke whom Luwei had picked up and brought home.
A wave of conflicting feelings inevitably rose in Luwei’s heart.
If she considered the influence of the Plot Correction Mechanism, and her own life…
The safest course of action would be to quietly slip out of bed now, take the important things, and then immediately disappear without a trace, making sure Lilique could never find her again.
Only by preserving her life would she have the chance to make a comeback!
But doing this would undoubtedly mean Luwei would completely lose the home and business she had painstakingly built.
If Lilique held a grudge, she might even pursue Luwei relentlessly, forcing her into a life of constant flight, never able to turn things around.
Actually, there was another path she could take—
Risk it, painstakingly hide the truth from Lilique, and only treat her as Li Ke.
The benefit was… at least Luwei could be safe for a while.
For some reason, Lilique didn’t seem to have noticed the curse on Luwei.
So, Luwei could gamble that this curse wouldn’t activate in the future either!
As long as Lilique never discovered this hidden truth, Luwei’s life could continue peacefully.
As for the familiar Vera in the laboratory…
Luwei hadn’t thought of a way to handle that yet.
“Mmm~ Lu… Wei?”
A soft, murmuring voice suddenly came from behind, warm breath hitting the back of Luwei’s neck… interrupting her thoughts.
Looking at it now, neither of these two paths seemed easy!
Luwei thought somewhat despairingly.
Running away directly was gambling that Lilique wouldn’t pursue her.
Hiding the truth was gambling that Lilique wouldn’t find out.
Given the track record of the Plot Correction Mechanism—
For these kinds of options that relied heavily on luck, no matter which one Luwei chose, something would go wrong!!
Holding onto hope in her heart, only to be discovered by Lilique the next second…
What would await Luwei would be the revenge of a Sixth-Rank Peak Super Archmage!
“Luwei…? Mmm, you’re awake?”
Luwei could practically hear the sound of her own heartbeat!
“Huh? Your heart is beating so fast…”
Lilique seemed to have discovered something interesting.
“Hmm? Are you remembering what happened last night~~”
Luwei remained silent.
She felt that if she opened her mouth now, she would give herself away!
“Even though I was drunk, I still remember it!”
“Hmph, Luwei and I did that kind of thing…”
“Just wait to have my baby!”
As she spoke, Lilique gently touched Luwei’s swollen lips, looking somewhat apologetic.
“Sorry, I was too forceful last night… does it still hurt?”
Lilique’s statement sounded just like a scumbag who pulls up their pants and acts like nothing happened—
It was really a phrasing that was easily misunderstood…
But they had only kissed!
And the innocent Lilique actually thought this was the method for making a baby…?
If the current Luwei were still completely unaware of Lilique’s identity, she would definitely be charmed by this cuteness.
But now…
She had to choose between fleeing and hiding the truth!
But the outcomes of both paths… weren’t very ideal.
“Luwei…?”
Seeing Luwei just lying there tense without saying a word…
Lilique also sensed something was off.
Lilique poked her cheek with a finger, clasping her hands together.
“Sorry…”
It had to be said, Lilique was quite skilled at acting cute.
“…Tell me the truth!”
Suddenly, a difficult-to-conceal red light burst from Lilique’s eyes.
As an incredibly intense wave of magic power spread out.
In the next second,
Luwei seemed to turn into a puppet, her eyes losing their luster, her head drooping unconsciously.
Lilique had used magic again.
‘Huh…?’
“Do you… have some unspeakable difficulty?”
A touch of melancholy appeared on Lilique’s expression as she reached out a small hand and gently stroked Luwei’s cheek.
And with her action—
A look of struggle surfaced on Luwei’s face.
“Can you tell me what happened?”
Lilique’s voice was very soft, like a feather brushing against her heart.
“I… I’m worried about you…”
Gradually, Luwei’s expression relaxed…
Her lips parted slightly, as if she had something to say.
“You are the Vampire Princess. I’m afraid of you.”
The bedroom was instantly left in an eerie silence.
