Chapter 12: Is considered a choking play?

Feng Ling had already gotten used to it…

Tonight, she was once again awakened by the pain in her neck…

Then she just lay there with her eyes open, letting Ling Yue sister drink her blood.

After a while, Ling Yue raised her head, licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, then stroked her hair and said softly, “Little Feng Ling, you were so good this time~”

“Ling Yue sister, you drink my blood every night… Don’t you ever get tired of it?”

Feng Ling adjusted her messy collar and then asked.

“Nope, because your blood has a very special taste~”

“What kind of taste?”

Ling Yue thought carefully… but a few seconds later, what Feng Ling got wasn’t Ling Yue’s answer…

She saw Ling Yue bite her neck again.

“What are you doing?”

Feng Ling touched her neck and felt two new puncture wounds.

“I just felt like biting.”

Ling Yue said matter-of-factly.

“…Okay.”

Then, Ling Yue lay down beside her, propping her head up with one hand while slowly tracing circles on Feng Ling’s little face with the other.

“Hey, little Feng Ling, are you afraid of me?” she asked.

“No, Ling Yue sister is very good to me~”

Feng Ling replied with a smile.

“You are really… too cute!”

The next second, Ling Yue directly kissed Feng Ling on the lips, causing her brain to short-circuit instantly.

“L-Ling Yue sister?! Y-you, you, you…”

“What’s wrong?”

Ye Ling Yue tilted her head.

“You kissed me on the mouth!”

“Mhm, I know~”

“W-why!”

“Because I wanted to.”

Feng Ling quickly pulled the blanket over her head.

Then, Ling Yue pulled the blanket away and looked at her now bright red face, saying, “I mean, little Feng Ling, you’re my lover, isn’t kissing normal?”

“That’s true…”

Feng Ling mumbled.

…

After a period of practice, Feng Ling could now control a basketball-sized sphere of blood, moving it freely through the air.

“Not bad, you’re improving quickly!”

Ling Yue praised from the side.

“Mhm… Ling Yue sister, I actually want to learn some offensive magic.”

Feng Ling withdrew the blood sphere and said quietly after some hesitation.

“Oh? Offensive?”

“Like… turning blood into blades or something.”

“We can try.”

Then Ling Yue stood behind Xu Feng Ling and held her hand.

“First, you need to condense the blood into the shape you want… A blade needs to be very thin and sharp, so it requires a higher level of control.”

Ling Yue first used her own nail to make a cut on Feng Ling’s palm, then held her hand and guided the blood to coalesce.

The blood slowly took the shape of a small knife in her hand.

“Do you feel it?” Ling Yue asked.

“Mhm…”

“Now try to maintain that shape.”

After saying that, Ling Yue let go of her hand and took a step back.

Then, Feng Ling concentrated hard, trying to maintain the shape of the small knife.

The moment she saw the blade solidify, she immediately flung it out, cutting a vase placed not far away clean in half.

“N-no, I… Ling Yue sister, I didn’t mean to…”

“It’s fine, it’s just a broken vase, right?”

Ling Yue waved her hand dismissively.

“But isn’t that vase the kind that costs hundreds of thousands?”

“So what if it’s hundreds of thousands? As long as it makes little Feng Ling happy.”

“Ling Yue… Ling Yue sister…”

Feng Ling was so moved she was about to cry.

Then Ling Yue went to the center of the room, turned around, and said, “Next, I’ll teach you another move for close combat… If someone gets close to you, you can use this to counterattack instantly.”

“Okay! Okay!”

“A vampire’s nails are weapons in themselves…”

Ling Yue went behind Feng Ling, held her right hand, and pressed her fingers against her own neck.

“Like this, use your nail to pierce the opponent’s carotid artery, then slash hard. That’s pretty much enough to kill them, since a human’s neck is very fragile. If you find the right spot, one finger is enough.”

As she spoke, she extended a finger and pressed it against Feng Ling’s neck.

“For example, here is the carotid artery. If you pierce it, a normal human would lose consciousness within a minute and die within three minutes… If you’re dealing with a vampire enemy, attacking the neck is also a good strategy. So you can try piercing with your nail or using your mouth to drain their blood… Of course, these are all methods for quickly dealing with enemies in close combat. Generally, using magic is safer.”

“Also, if someone chokes you, you need to know how to break free. Choking is effective against both vampires and humans. Although you can’t choke a vampire or some humans with special abilities to death, you can still incapacitate them. For example…”

As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed Feng Ling’s neck and lifted her up.

Feng Ling’s feet even left the ground, given the height difference between them.

Feng Ling felt Ling Yue’s fingers digging into her throat, her thumb pressing against her windpipe, the other four fingers gripping the side of her neck.

And the strength was so great that Feng Ling instantly couldn’t breathe.

“Ling, Ling Yue sis…”

The next second, her voice was cut off.

Because Ling Yue tightened her fingers, her nails even digging into Feng Ling’s skin.

She tried with all her might to pry Ling Yue’s fingers away, but those fingers were like iron clamps, completely unmoving.

She couldn’t budge them at all.

“Do you feel it? This is what it feels like to be choked…”

Even while doing something terrifying, Ling Yue’s tone remained gentle.

And now, Feng Ling’s vision was starting to go dark.

She opened her mouth, trying to inhale, but no air could get in.

“Choking makes your strength diminish more and more… At the same time, your consciousness becomes more and more blurred. Finally, you’ll pass out.”

To the current Feng Ling, Ling Yue’s voice sounded like it was coming from a distant place.

She felt her consciousness dissipating bit by bit… everything before her eyes was darkening… and just then, Ling Yue let go.

Feng Ling collapsed on the floor, gasping for breath…

The rush of air into her lungs made her cough violently, tears streaming from her eyes.

“So? How was it?”

Ye Ling Yue squatted down, looking at her and asking.

“Cough, cough, cough, cough! Y-you almost choked me to death… cough, cough…”

“You wouldn’t die. Choking isn’t fatal to vampires.”

“But, but it’s still awful… cough, cough…”

“Of course it has to be awful, otherwise how would you remember it?”

Then, Feng Ling looked up at Ling Yue.

“Alright, don’t cry.”

Ling Yue gently wiped away her tears.

“I’m not crying! This is from coughing!”

Feng Ling shouted.

“Okay, okay, okay… Let’s go, time to rest.”

Feng Ling followed Ling Yue on the way out of the basement, her hand still touching her neck…

There were several deep finger marks there, and it still hurt a bit to touch.

“Ling Yue sister, how much strength did you use just now?” she asked.

“About thirty percent.”

“Thirty percent?!”

“Mhm. If I used my full strength, your neck would have been snapped.”

This made Feng Ling shudder.

Thirty percent of her strength could choke her to the point of nearly passing out.

Full strength could snap her neck…

So this is the power of a Progenitor?

“So, you still have a long way to go.”

Ling Yue said with a smile.

“…I know.”

Feng Ling muttered.

So was that just now some kind of choking play…

It was that awful…

Also, Ling Yue sister was a bit scary today.

…

The next day, still in the basement, Feng Ling stood in the center of the room, quickly condensing a Blood Blade and flinging it out, making it stab firmly into the bullseye of the target.

“Not bad! You really are a little genius~”

Ling Yue stroked her hair.

“Hehe! Pretty cool, right!”

Feng Ling smiled proudly.

“So, Ling Yue sister, can I learn the next one now?”

Then Ling Yue extended her own hand and said, “Okay, this move uses your nails combined with blood to cause cutting, bleeding, and blood-draining effects simultaneously when attacking… I’m deliberately using gaming terminology, how’s that?”

As Ling Yue’s words fell, Feng Ling saw blood seep from her fingertips and form a thin film of blood over her nails.

“Watch closely.”

Ling Yue turned to face the wall and casually swiped, leaving four blood-red claw marks on the wall, each about half a meter long.

“Holy crap!”

Feng Ling’s eyes widened.

“Want to learn?”

“Yes! I do! Super want to!”

Then Ling Yue held Feng Ling’s hand, helping her guide the blood to her nails.

Once it was successfully covered, Ling Yue said, “Now, swing hard.”

Hearing this, Feng Ling took a deep breath and swung hard at the wall.

Four claw marks a few centimeters deep appeared, far inferior to Ling Yue sister’s.

“Not bad. Being able to leave marks on the first try is already very good.”

“But compared to you, it’s way too far off.”

Feng Ling said a bit dejectedly.

“I’m a Progenitor, don’t compare yourself to me, okay?”

“That’s true…”

“Take it slow, no rush. Keep it up.”

Feng Ling practiced a while longer, until she started to feel a bit low on magic, before Ling Yue took her out of the basement.
