That night, Feng Ling was tormented until the early hours before being allowed back to her room.
Her sleeping dress was crumpled against her body, with several new bite marks on her collarbone and a red scratch from a fingernail on her inner thigh.
Ling Yue had used that seven-colored ribbon earlier, along with two small clips and that bottle of magical crystal salt.
When the salt grains spilled onto her lower back, she nearly bounced off the bed…
Perhaps it was because that heat seeped into her skin and collided with some craving already inside her body, creating a chain of reactions she simply couldn’t control.
And during that process, the ribbon flashed purple several times.
Every time it lit up purple, Ling Yue would inexplicably stop moving, only resuming when the color returned to pink.
Now, little Feng Ling was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling.
“Dammit… the lingering sensation inside my body hasn’t faded yet.”
She buried her face in the pillow that had a stronger scent of Ling Yue, and that caused her body to tighten slightly again.
“Damn it.”
In the end, the cute little Feng Ling muttered softly.
Feng Ling crouched on the living room sofa.
“Blood extraction” sounded easy, but doing it was absolutely agonizing.
She held the Switch in her hand, with Link on the screen being chased by a fire bat in a volcanic region.
Her thumb moved mechanically over the joystick, but her mind kept scheming about how to get a “fresh drop of blood” from Ling Yue.
The first problem was Ling Yue’s self-healing speed…
Last time, she scratched Ling Yue’s shoulder with her nails, but before any blood could flow, the wound had already healed completely…
An progenitor-level self-healing ability was no joke.
Unless Ling Yue actively kept the wound open, any injury would disappear within a fraction of a second.
The second problem was Ling Yue’s perception ability.
Forget about a sneak attack—just approaching within three steps of Ling Yue would be caught by her perception field…
Last time in the wedding chamber, she merely leaned in a bit when Ling Yue was unbuttoning her collar, and Ling Yue directly pinched her waist.
Then there was the third problem: even if she actually got the blood, how would she explain it?
Feng Ling moved Link to a safe corner, paused the game, and leaned back against the sofa cushion.
‘Well, I’ve lost the will to play again.’
Hmm… to get Ling Yue’s fresh blood, she had to make Ling Yue let her drink, and it couldn’t be something like biting the wrist.
As soon as it left the wrist, the wound would close.
When she bit Ling Yue’s wrist, Ling Yue would control the healing speed, making it impossible for her to get independent blood.
Besides, she couldn’t explain it anyway, unless Ling Yue was also in a dazed or excited state at the time.
In other words, there was only one real opportunity…
When Ling Yue was sucking blood from her neck, she would simultaneously bite Ling Yue’s neck back.
That sounded simple, but doing it was harder than climbing to heaven.
Because every time Ling Yue drank her blood, she was basically in a dazed state.
If she could manage not to collapse into a puddle, that was already a superhuman display of willpower.
Unless she could maintain a brief moment of clarity in that state, and then choose the right moment to bite.
But come to think of it…
Last time, during the seven times sensory amplification, she actually did it.
Not only did she bite, but she bit hard—the teeth marks on Sister Ling Yue’s wrist took a full two days to fade.
But that was an instinctual reaction after the sensory amplification pushed her body to its limits, not something she actively planned…
And this time, she needed to do it actively without any amplification.
Feng Ling teleported Link on the screen back to the beginner village, then exited the game and opened the save management interface.
She stared at the row of save files for a while, mentally listing a checklist for herself.
First, find an opportunity for Ling Yue to drink her blood…
Well, that wasn’t hard.
Ling Yue drank from her at least twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Second, stay conscious during the blood drinking.
She absolutely couldn’t end up weak and falling asleep like before…
Third, at the moment when Ling Yue was most absorbed in drinking, bite back.
The force of the bite had to be just enough to break the skin, but not so hard that Ling Yue would become suspicious.
“Little Feng Ling, come eat!”
At that moment, Ling Yue’s voice came from the dining room.
“Coming!”
Feng Ling quickly turned off the Switch and jumped off the sofa.
“What’s this?”
Feng Ling pointed at the small covered bowl.
Then, Ling Yue reached out and lifted the lid, revealing a pale golden, translucent paste inside, topped with a layer of deep red powder.
The aroma made little Feng Ling’s throat involuntarily move.
“This is blood honey pudding, made with primogenitor blood and a special nectar from our clan, topped with congealed blood powder. Try it.”
Ling Yue scooped a small spoonful and brought it to Feng Ling’s lips.
Feng Ling stared at that spoonful of pudding for nine seconds.
Primogenitor blood…
Those four words made her heart beat half a beat faster.
But the problem was, this pudding definitely didn’t contain fresh blood, otherwise she would have just taken the pudding and performed the magic.
‘Forget it, don’t think about that now… finish eating this first.’
And the moment the pudding touched her tongue, her entire body froze.
This… this wasn’t a matter of whether it tasted good or not.
All her nerve endings were activated at once…
The sweetness of caramel, the richness of cream, and the sweetness of blood—three flavors mixed together and exploded from the tip of her tongue.
This caused the fangs in her mouth to extend uncontrollably, her fingers to grip the hem of her clothes tightly, and her toes to curl inside her slippers.
“Mmm… mm…”
She covered her mouth, cheeks bulging, eyes wide.
The pudding had already melted in her mouth, but that sensation still lingered, like a thin film coating her tongue and palate.
“Is it good?”
Ling Yue tilted her head and asked.
“This, this pudding… how much of your blood is in it?”
“Not much, about half a spoonful. But it’s made with concentrated primordial blood essence, about three times the potency of regular primogenitor blood… One more bite.”
Then, Ling Yue scooped another spoonful and offered it.
Feng Ling looked at the spoonful of pudding, as reason and craving fought a battle in her mind.
In the end, craving won.
She opened her mouth and accepted the spoonful of pudding.
This time, the sensation was stronger than the first, because her body had already remembered this taste.
Her fangs fully extended the moment the pudding touched her tongue, her gums itched slightly, and her saliva production increased dramatically.
She struggled to keep herself from biting the spoon, but when she swallowed, she let out a short moan somewhere between satisfaction and craving.
“Ah…”
She lowered her hand covering her mouth and panted heavily.
Now, her face was abnormally red.
“Little Feng Ling, your eyes.”
Ling Yue pointed at her face again.
Hearing this, Feng Ling looked at a mirror nearby.
In the mirror, this little vampire girl’s eyes were glowing red, and the golden patterns in her irises emitted a faint light that flickered in sync with her heartbeat.
This was a phenomenon she had never seen before.
“What’s wrong with my eyes?”
She asked.
“They’re glowing, which means your body is absorbing the magic of the primogenitor blood. The absorption rate is so fast that the magic overflows into your irises. For an ordinary vampire drinking my three-times concentrated blood, it takes about half an hour to absorb it. You’ve only had two spoonfuls and it’s already overflowing. Your absorption rate is several times faster than I expected.”
“So, is this a good thing or a bad thing?”
“A good thing.”
Ling Yue’s fingers slid from the corner of her eye to her cheek, then down to her chin.
“This shows your body has an extremely high affinity with primogenitor blood. If you were to drink directly from me right now, you’d probably go from an excited state to climax in less than ten seconds, similar to the seven times sensory amplification from before.”
Then, Feng Ling’s throat moved again.
After finishing the pudding, Ling Yue went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Feng Ling curled back up on the sofa and turned on the Switch.
Link on the screen was still standing in the beginner village…
She made Link run around for a bit, then exited the game and opened another fighting game.
She randomly selected a character and started the arcade mode.
But all her attention was on Ling Yue…
She was waiting for the daily routine—Ling Yue would sit down on the sofa, lean against her while reading a book, and then her fingers would start climbing onto Feng Ling’s body.
Then came “game time,” which could be long or short.
And in today’s game time, she had to get that thing done.
Soon, Ling Yue came out of the kitchen.
She sat down next to Feng Ling, leaned back against the sofa cushion, and turned sideways to watch Feng Ling play.
“Why are you playing fighting games today?”
She asked softly.
“I just felt like hitting someone. Look at this character’s combo, so cool. And look at this hurricane kick, and this rising dragon fist.”
Ling Yue watched the fighting characters beating each other on the screen for a while, then reached out and placed her hand on Feng Ling’s nape, slowly moving up along the hairline.
When she reached the crown, she gently pressed there.
“You’re a little tense today.”
“Am I? I’m not tense at all!”
As Feng Ling spoke, her thumb pressed a combo on the controller, and the screen flashed “K.O.”
“The muscles in your nape are tighter than usual. Playing games doesn’t make your nape this tense. Only when you’re thinking about other things while playing does it get like this.”
Ling Yue then used two fingers to pinch the muscle bundle at the center of the back of her neck and gently kneaded it.
This gave Feng Ling goosebumps down her back.
‘Damn it, my own breathing is getting erratic again.’
It hadn’t even officially started yet.
Just this warm-up alone had her body entering the state ahead of time.
At this rate, when it actually began, there was no way she could stay conscious.
“I was just thinking about how to unlock this hidden character. Online guides say you have to play two hundred arcade mode rounds. I’ve already played over seventy.”
Feng Ling made up an excuse on the spot.
“Well, you still have over a hundred and twenty rounds left. Take your time.”
After Ling Yue said that, her fingers slid to Feng Ling’s collarbone, her fingertip pressing into the hollow at the center of the collarbone, pressing in and then slowly releasing.
When she pressed in, Feng Ling’s throat lifted slightly; when she released, the throat dropped half an inch.
This rhythm was completely out of her control…
With just one finger, Ling Yue controlled her entire breathing rate.
“By the way, little Feng Ling, do you want to use today’s right of refusal?”
Then, Ling Yue lifted her finger from the collarbone, tilted her head, and asked softly.
“Okay…”
Game time had finally arrived.
