Xiaoxi’s twisted thoughts weren’t baseless. Even before her identity was exposed, she had harbored this unease.
She certainly didn’t doubt the Rich Girl’s affection for her, but the Rich Girl’s hatred for Eternal Star was absolutely real.
These two completely opposite feelings were now superimposed onto the same person because of her concealment.
When the day of exposure came, wouldn’t that mean she was using that affection to hold Ye Xinglan hostage and force her to accept her identity as Eternal Star?
It made Xiaoxi feel like a truly despicable person. Today’s gift incident especially made her think Ye Xinglan had said those things on the subway just to spare her feelings.
But Ye Xinglan knew nothing of this. From her perspective… someone wanted to sneak away at night hugging a pillow without a word just to avoid paying the conjugal tax, right?
Several tentacles coiled up and locked around Xiaoxi’s body. Ye Xinglan angrily cupped Xiaoxi’s face and shook it.
“I found you are just too selfish, Xiaoxi!”
“Ugh… yeah, it’s all my fault for hiding it from you out of selfishness. I’m sorry, Xinglan…”
“That’s not what I mean!”
Ye Xinglan shook Xiaoxi’s head in frustration, as if trying to hear if there was water sloshing inside.
Seeing Xiaoxi looking so pitiful and self-blaming was making her reluctant to go all out!
Seriously, she’s not usually like this. Why is she so sensitive at a time like this? It couldn’t be that she’s worried I don’t like her, right? Haha.
“What I mean is—you don’t mind that I’m the Blood Moon Witch, so why do you think I’d mind your identity? That way of thinking is too selfish!”
“Think I look down on you? Fine, just wait and see how hard your big sister Xinglan goes on you!”
The tentacles wrapped around Xiaoxi’s slender waist like an embrace.
Ye Xinglan pressed her advantage and struck a weak point. Xiaoxi let out a restrained grunt from deep in her throat.
Ye Xinglan habitually took Xiaoxi’s hand and interlaced their fingers—the monster bite mark on Xiaoxi’s hand had already healed.
Looking at her fair skin, a new idea suddenly popped into Ye Xinglan’s head.
Black Mud covered her body as Ye Xinglan transformed into the Blood Moon Witch.
Xiaoxi thought the Rich Girl would ask her to cooperate in replaying the scene of Eternal Star’s defeat, but Ye Xinglan didn’t ask her to transform.
“Speaking of which, Xiaoxi, you must know why I’m called the Blood Moon Witch, right?” A clump of crimson gathered in Ye Xinglan’s hand. “Because I have the ability to control blood.”
Xiaoxi nodded while enduring the fierce attack. She knew exactly what the Blood Moon Witch could do.
Her signature weapons were a scythe formed from Black Mud and a Beast Claw formed from blood, right?
“Then did you know that I can actually replenish Magic Power by drinking other people’s blood, huh? How about it? Doesn’t it feel very vampire-like?”
Ye Xinglan opened her mouth, showing off those two aggressive, shiny little fangs.
“Like that tentacle that bit you this afternoon—probably because it was away from me for too long without a Magic Power supply, so it instinctively wanted to suck blood to replenish Magic Power, right?”
Blood was already a common Magic Power carrier. The smuggled Magic Power Ye Xinglan bought in Summersea City used blood as a carrier.
But relying on sucking other people’s blood to replenish Magic Power was too troublesome, and she’d never done it before.
Besides, Ye Xinglan didn’t like biting people casually—she wasn’t really a vampire!
“Mnn… so, so that’s how it is?”
“Hehe, don’t you know the Blood Moon Witch well?”
Xiaoxi didn’t answer. In all their previous… kisses, she’d never seen those little parts on Ye Xinglan.
She really didn’t know Ye Xinglan would have vampire fangs after transforming.
Besides, she never paid attention to what her archenemy’s mouth looked like during battles!
And more importantly, did the Rich Girl have to bring up this topic at a time like this?
She was already exhausted from fighting the Blood Moon Witch, and the fatigue from two days ago hadn’t recovered yet.
If she had to concentrate on listening to Ye Xinglan talk… she wouldn’t last much longer…
The tentacle wrapped around Xiaoxi’s waist keenly sensed her waist go limp as if melting.
Ye Xinglan flipped Xiaoxi over and pinned her beneath.
Ever since she found out Xiaoxi was Eternal Star, she loved doing this—it gave her a sense of conquest, like getting revenge by pinning her archenemy down hard.
The Blood Moon Witch’s attacks were precise and fierce. As the tempo quickened, Xiaoxi instinctively bit the pillow to keep from making sounds.
Her legs clamped together and trembled violently.
Eternal Star had once again failed to defeat the evil Blood Moon Witch and lost regretfully.
But almost at the same time, before the post-defeat blankness in her mind faded, Xiaoxi felt a warm breath on her neck, followed by a faint prickling pain.
“Mnn…”
Ye Xinglan’s weight pressed down on her. A tingling numbness spread from her neck, accompanied by a warm sting.
Xiaoxi could feel her Magic Power draining away along with her blood.
Strangely, it felt… oddly pleasant.
The two debuffs stacked together, and with her head empty, Xiaoxi couldn’t help but moan.
Like a beast that had caught prey, Ye Xinglan bit into her enemy’s neck and didn’t let go.
But the difference was that the prey beneath her, after a slight tremor and struggle, slowly stopped moving and obediently let Ye Xinglan do as she pleased.
After a moment, Ye Xinglan lifted her head and licked her lips with satisfaction.
On Xiaoxi’s fair neck were two small, needle-like bite marks—proof that she had been captured as prey by Ye Xinglan.
Xiaoxi still didn’t move. Ye Xinglan had chosen to bite her at her most vulnerable moment.
The combination of two debuffs nearly made her lose consciousness.
“Thanks for the meal~” Ye Xinglan leaned down and breathed into Xiaoxi’s ear. “Really delicious. I could taste your feelings of liking me in the blood~”
Ye Xinglan wasn’t lying. Everyone’s blood smelled different under different circumstances and emotions.
As the Blood Moon Witch, she could distinguish these subtle differences.
And Xiaoxi’s blood from that moment… she could only say it was extremely delicious.
“Mnh… don’t…”
Xiaoxi was completely limp. Her delicate earlobes were slightly red, and her ears were unusually sensitive.
Even a gentle breath from Ye Xinglan made her body tremble involuntarily.
“Speak!”
Ye Xinglan raised her palm. A crisp smack sounded—a noise that could only come from something like a drum-like surface.
“Still think I look down on you now? If I did, I wouldn’t have ‘eaten’ you like that just now.”
But Xiaoxi couldn’t speak at all. The tip of her tender tongue slightly exposed and her unfocused eyes proved she needed at least a while longer to come back to her senses.
Gee I wonder why she thinks you look down on her, maybe the thousands of cash you’ve spent destroying effigy’s of her
