Chapter 40: The Gradually Revealed Desire

“Hey, Xiao Fengling, let me trim your nails for you~”

That evening, as Feng Ling was about to lie in bed and play some more games, Ling Yue suddenly pushed the door open and made the suggestion with a smile.

Feng Ling nodded without hesitation, then obediently sat in front of the dresser and held out her hand to Ling Yue.

Ling Yue gently grasped her wrist and used a special little file to smooth the tips of her nails.

She added, “Xiao Fengling’s nails grow pretty fast. It’s only been three days, and they’ve already gotten a few centimeters longer.”

After a while, Ling Yue finished.

Feng Ling looked down at her fingers…

The tips had been filed by Sister Ling Yue into sharp, curved points like cat claws.

“Mm… If they’re this sharp, they’d hurt a lot if I accidentally scratch myself.”

“Not at all~ Our vampire self-healing ability is very strong.”

“I’m not talking about the wound healing… I mean the pain itself. No matter how fast the healing is, the pain is still there…”

Feng Ling muttered.

“Is Xiao Fengling afraid of pain?”

Ling Yue tilted her head and asked.

“I wouldn’t say afraid… just not a fan.”

“Oh.”

Ling Yue nodded thoughtfully upon hearing that.

Feng Ling looked at her expression and suddenly had a bad feeling, so she quickly asked, “Speaking of which, Sister Ling Yue, why are you asking that?”

“Just curious. By the way… Xiao Fengling’s nails can now easily tear apart Moling Crystal~”

Ling Yue added with a smile.

Feng Ling automatically ignored the unfamiliar “Moling Crystal” she’d never heard of, simply treating it as a very hard stone. Then she muttered quietly, “What’s the use of that? I don’t get into fights with anyone…”

“Who said it’s only for fighting? It can be used as a very handy knife, or…”

The next second, Ling Yue reached out and scratched Feng Ling’s arm, leaving a red mark and a row of blood beads.

The pain made Feng Ling gasp sharply.

Then Ling Yue smiled and said, “It can be used for this~”

After saying that, she licked the blood beads clean.

“Sister Ling Yue… Well, as long as you’re happy…”

Feng Ling sighed.

At this moment, she realized she was almost getting used to this kind of thing.

In the past, every time she was scratched, she would protest a bit, but now she couldn’t even be bothered to protest…

She just silently watched Ling Yue lick the blood off her arm, and mentally calculated how long until the next blood-drinking session.

She didn’t know if that was a good thing.

Probably not… but at least it saved her a lot of anger.

After Ling Yue licked off the last drop of blood, she suddenly looked up and said, “Xiao Fengling, tonight I want to sleep with you.”

“Huh? Don’t you sleep with me every night?”

“I don mean just sleeping together in the literal sense~”

Feng Ling’s brain took a while to process that sentence…

Then her face went from white to pink, and then flushed deep red.

“Y-y-y-y-you what?”

“Hey, didn’t Xiao Fengling experience it last time?”

Ling Yue reached out and pinched her earlobe.

“It’s…”

“Stop stop stop stop! Don’t say it! I know what it is!”

Feng Ling quickly covered her ears and shouted.

“So, does Xiao Fengling want it or not?”

“I…”

She actually wanted to say no.

Her reason told her she should say no…

But her mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, and in the end, she whispered, “Mm…”

“What does ‘mm’ mean? Yes or no?”

Ling Yue pressed with a smile, her crimson eyes beginning to glow red again.

“…Yes.”

After saying that word, Feng Ling buried her face in the pillow.

She thought she was probably… definitely crazy, but she couldn’t help it.

The feeling Ling Yue had made her experience last time… she had completely remembered it… that pleasure that could drown her entire being…

Reason told her it was a trap…

Ling Yue’s way of controlling her, but deep down she craved it again.

“Xiao Fengling is very honest~ Honest children deserve extra rewards.”

Then Ling Yue’s hand slowly slid upward.

What happened next, Feng Ling could do nothing but cover her mouth to keep from making too much noise.

And as her consciousness gradually blurred, she heard Ling Yue whisper in her ear, “Xiao Fengling is becoming more and more dependent on Sister~”

At that moment, she wanted to get up and shout in protest, but her body was no longer her own…

With just a slight movement from Ling Yue, the words at her lips quickly turned into a muffled groan.

“That’s right~”

Ling Yue kissed her forehead and said.

After a while, Feng Ling lay in bed gasping heavily.

Her sleeping dress was wrinkled, her hair was a mess, and there was even a dark red stain on the bed.

“Sister Ling Yue… am I… getting weirder and weirder…”

Feng Ling asked in a hoarse voice.

“Weird how?”

Ling Yue gently twirled her fingertips through the ends of her hair.

“I mean… I shouldn’t feel good about it… but I…”

Feng Ling’s voice grew quieter and quieter as she spoke.

“But you still feel good, don’t you?”

“…Yeah.”

“That’s not called weird. You’re just slowly accepting your instincts~”

“Is that so… Then thank you, Sister Ling Yue…”

Though deep down, she wasn’t even sure if she felt grateful toward Ling Yue.

…

The next day, Feng Ling felt a sharp pain through her sleepy haze.

Blearily, she opened her eyes, only to find Ling Yue leaning over her neck, her two fangs deeply piercing the skin as she sucked blood continuously.

“Mm… Sister Ling Yue… is it morning?” F

eng Ling asked softly.

“Not yet noon.”

Ling Yue released her mouth and licked the blood from her lips.

“Xiao Fengling, you go back to sleep. Sister just wanted some morning tea.”

“Morning tea my ass! Since when does morning tea involve biting someone’s neck?!”

“This is a vampire’s special morning tea~ Besides, Xiao Fengling’s blood tastes best in the morning. After a night’s metabolism, the impurities in the blood are reduced, making the flavor particularly mellow…”

“That sounds just like saying coffee beans are freshest when picked in the morning.”

“Pretty much the same logic.”

The next moment, Ling Yue lowered her head and bit her neck again.

This time, she bit much harder than before, the fangs piercing deeper.

Feng Ling felt the blood being drawn away faster.

The dizziness from blood loss mixed with the pleasure… causing her to let out sounds she couldn’t control.

“Sister Ling Yue… ease up… ease up, please… don’t…”

“Hm? Does Xiao Fengling not like it?”

“…I do.”

“Then why tell me to ease up?”

“Because… it’s too intense… it hurts a bit…”

“Pain and pleasure can coexist~ Look, even though it hurts, your body is still reacting. That’s how vampires feel… Pain and pleasure can stack, and pain can even enhance pleasure.”

“I don’t really understand that…”

“It’s okay. Sister can help you understand little by little.”

Over the next twenty minutes, Ling Yue used practical demonstrations to help her slowly understand what it meant for pain and pleasure to stack.

When it was over, Feng Ling lay limp in bed, not even having the strength to lift her arm.

Her neck had five or six bite holes, and her shoulders had several scratch marks from fingernails…

Yet the pleasure still lingered in her body.

“Xiao Fengling is still as adorable as ever.”

Ling Yue sat by the bed, tidying her tangled hair.

“Especially at times like this—prettier than any other moment.”

“Sister Ling Yue… aren’t you tired…”

Feng Ling asked weakly.

“Not at all. How could taking care of Xiao Fengling ever be tiring?”

“I don’t mean taking care of me… I mean…”

Feng Ling blushed and pointed at her, then at herself.

“This is even less tiring.”

Ling Yue answered matter-of-factly.

Hearing that, Feng Ling could only stare silently at the ceiling.

Seeing this, Ling Yue laughed, rubbed her hair, and said, “Alright, Sister will go make you something delicious. For lunch, I’ll use blood and flour to knead noodles, then drizzle them with a special blood sauce, and sprinkle a bit of vampire-exclusive spice flakes… making the best vampire-style pasta~”

“…Just hearing the word ‘blood’ makes me feel full already.”

“Your stomach is full, but your body is still hungry…”

Ling Yue gently pinched Feng Ling’s neck, then stood up and left the room.

Then Feng Ling touched the spot where she had been pinched.

It hurt a bit… but even more than that, there was that strange feeling.

Ling Yue’s actions were getting bigger and more frequent… and she realized she wasn’t resisting at all—she was even vaguely looking forward to it.

“I’m done for… Am I really turning into a masochist?”

Thinking back to when she was still Xu Feng… the guy who would blush just making eye contact with a girl, and was still agonizing over how to confess to Ling Yue.

And now she had become a non-human loli, and had been sent over the edge so many times by the woman she confessed to… What a huge change.

But then again, since she had already decided to stay, what was the point of thinking about this?

She couldn’t win and couldn’t escape anyway.

Instead of struggling painfully, it was easier to just accept it.

As long as she didn’t trigger those death switches… she could probably continue living like this.

She didn’t want to go through a second death.
