Chapter 37: Walking the Edge of Death

On the large bed in the spacious room, the architectural style of the entire room was completely modern compared to the estate where Li Ruoxi had been before.

Whether it was the central air conditioning or the smart home features, it was just like what TV commercials boasted about.

The entire duplex villa had such things inside and out.

On the low blue bed, the two-and-a-half-meter-wide bed appeared very spacious.

The interior decoration was simple and clear: blue painted walls, a white fluffy rug on the floor.

Near the door was a small study-like office area with a desk, cabinets, and electronic items.

Li Ruoxi struggled on the bed but couldn’t break free from Vivian’s slender arms, which seemed clamped around her like iron pincers.

‘How can she hold me so tightly even when asleep?’

Li Ruoxi was held sideways by Vivian, who was also lying on her side, but her neck was propped up by the other’s arm.

“You… let me go…”

Li Ruoxi said weakly.

Vivian remained motionless, without a response.

“You… don’t pretend to be asleep…”

Li Ruoxi had felt strange upon waking.

As before, she only felt pleasure and remembered nothing else.

“If you don’t wake up soon, I’ll bite you!”

Li Ruoxi’s cute face scrunched up, putting on a fierce expression.

Dragon roar~ Rawr~

Pfft…

Vivian’s ice-blue eyes slowly opened.

Li Ruoxi shuddered, and her struggling strength instantly vanished.

The moment those eyes opened, Li Ruoxi thought she was looking at a prehistoric monster.

Their depths were so profound they seemed to pull her into a vortex, her heart panicking like a small boat adrift on the sea.

“You…”

“Don’t make noise.”

Vivian shifted, hugging Li Ruoxi’s soft body tightly.

Li Ruoxi tilted her head up, taking deep breaths.

She said weakly, “You… can you… loosen up… for me…?”

Huff—

Vivian finally obeyed.

Li Ruoxi had learned her lesson this time and stayed quietly in Vivian’s arms.

“You…”

“Call me My Lady.”

Vivian ordered with closed eyes.

“My favor, you should be grateful for. My scolding and beating, you should thank me for. Everything I do, you have no reason to ask why.”

Vivian’s eyelashes fluttered, about to open her eyes.

“You… don’t open your eyes…”

Li Ruoxi hurriedly stopped her.

Looking into Vivian’s eyes at such close range, Li Ruoxi felt she would panic.

“You dare command me?”

Vivian asked calmly, but in the end, she didn’t open her eyes.

This made Li Ruoxi heave a sigh of relief.

“I’m not commanding you. But do you have nothing to do today?”

Li Ruoxi asked casually, as if to a good friend.

“I said, you must call me My Lady.”

Vivian’s eyelashes trembled.

“My Lady, My Lady, please don’t open your eyes.”

Li Ruoxi said flustered.

Vivian moved her arm and hugged Li Ruoxi tighter.

This precise control of force allowed Li Ruoxi to breathe while also letting Vivian feel her soft body to the fullest.

“Lady Vivian… this… do I have to call you that outside too?”

Li Ruoxi’s face immediately reddened at being pulled so close.

If it were only at this level, without needing to suck blood, she would be quite willing to accept Vivian.

“What do you think?”

“Anda…”

Li Ruoxi thought of this compromise title.

Vivian opened her eyes, lowered her head slightly, and at the same time tightened her hold on Li Ruoxi’s willow-like waist, forcing her to look up.

“Y-you… M-My… L-Lady… I… I…”

Li Ruoxi’s heart raced wildly under Vivian’s gaze.

She hadn’t felt this way before.

For some reason, now whenever Vivian showed even a slight displeasure, her heart would flutter with fear.

“Then call me Vivian.”

A hint of a wicked smile appeared on Vivian’s cool, sexy face.

This smile, combined with her sharply defined features, looked both alluring and intensely tempting.

As soon as Vivian spoke this time, Li Ruoxi felt her inner unease and fear disappear.

“Strange…”

Li Ruoxi didn’t even stutter.

“That spell of yours… has it been lifted?”

Only that possibility could have brought Li Ruoxi from her previous state back to this.

“Hehe, clever.”

Vivian praised.

“I’m planning to reward you with… an even more powerful spell.”

The contract on Li Ruoxi, Vivian would never undo.

What Vivian had in mind was to place an even stronger contract spell on Li Ruoxi.

“From now on, you will truly become… my very own pet.”

Vivian hugged Li Ruoxi again, her hand stroking her head like petting an animal’s fur.

“You… don’t go too far!!!”

A sudden burst of power erupted from within Li Ruoxi, and she shoved Vivian hard.

“I’m telling you!”

Li Ruoxi felt she had pushed Vivian away.

Defying the humiliation, she declared,

“Don’t even think about it! Everything you’ve done is all against my personal will!”

“I believe heaven won’t help you! If you dare to bully me again, I’ll die right in front of you!”

Pushed away? No…

Li Ruoxi felt her face still buried between a very elastic valley…

“Oh?” Vivian released her arms and sat up on the side.

“Since when did you become so brave?”

Vivian said with a light laugh, an amused smile on her face, her eyes fixed intently on Li Ruoxi.

Li Ruoxi said defiantly, “If you have the guts, reason with me! What part of what you did was reasonable!”

She said angrily.

This Vivian was really bullying her… her manliness.

“If you weren’t a woman, I would have…”

Li Ruoxi said subconsciously.

“I would have…”

“Would have what?”

Vivian’s smile grew wider.

Li Ruoxi brought her a different feeling.

It seemed both unreasonable and yet very reasonable behavior.

It was always like watching an old acquaintance from the past turn into a child bouncing around in front of her.

Vivian thought of the Zuo Mi’er from before and this Li Ruoxi who was completely unable to resist.

The feeling of bullying Li Ruoxi was simply too good.

Li Ruoxi decided to sit up and have a proper talk with Vivian.

“Lie down nicely, don’t move.”

Vivian pressed her shoulder down, and saw the defiant look on Li Ruoxi’s small face, showing an indignant expression.

“I prefer people to talk to me while lying down.”

Vivian said lightly, not in a commanding tone.

This damned confidence made Li Ruoxi dare not respond for the moment.

“Fine! Then I’ll talk to you like this.”

This early morning, Li Ruoxi was already full of anger.

This Vivian didn’t respect her human rights at all—she sucked blood whenever she wanted, and slept with her whenever she wanted.

Even if you’re the Vampire Queen!

I, Li Ruoxi, will never submit to you!

“You seem very unconvinced.”

Vivian said, reaching out to pinch Li Ruoxi’s nose.

“What? Do you want to hit me?”

“You… you’re too much!!”

Li Ruoxi sprang up to sit…

“Lie down.”

Without any suspense, she was immediately pressed back down.

Li Ruoxi’s eyes shot flames.

“I will sit up…”

Hiss…

Vivian suddenly revealed her sharp little fangs.

“Bullying!”

Li Ruoxi lay back down in resentment, arranging herself clearly without Vivian having to move.

“We agreed last night, only once a week. Otherwise I’ll jump off the building and kill myself.”

Vivian didn’t argue, but nodded.

“I want to hear you say how I treat you badly.” Vivian said.

“How you treat me badly? Do you even need to ask! You’ve been bad to me from start to finish! There hasn’t been a single good thing!”

Li Ruoxi thought for a moment.

“First, you caught me and brought me back, making me produce blood day and night.”

“Second, every time my period comes, you torture me, saying blood tastes better under humiliation!”

“Third! You cast a spell on me for no reason! I won’t mention the rest. Can you let me go? If you want blood, I’ll give it to you slowly. If you want me to do things, just tell me. If I can do it, I will never refuse!”

“Mm, go on.”

Vivian still wore that relaxed, watching-a-show expression.

“Only one thing: if we stay together, it really will be the end. I’ll die. You have to believe me!”

Li Ruoxi said earnestly.

She didn’t know if it was because the World Rules had changed, but she could now say these words.

However, Li Ruoxi firmly believed that being with Vivian would absolutely lead to no good end.

“So?”

Vivian’s tone made Li Ruoxi unable to discern her meaning.

Was she agreeing or not?

Why was she so cunning?

Weren’t vampires supposed to be lazy, too lazy to scheme with others?

Li Ruoxi only felt that Vivian was a little fox, her mind filled with who knows what plans to harm her.

“So! Can you… go play by yourself?”

Li Ruoxi made a butterfly wing-flapping motion with her hands.

“Or let me fly on my own.”

Vivian grabbed her hands.

“What do you think?”

Sharp fangs, and again that sly expression.

“You! You! You tricked me! No! Not allowed! Absolutely not!!!!”

Li Ruoxi struggled desperately, but before she could get up and run, Vivian held her down, unable to move.

The closer Vivian got, the more nervous and panicked Li Ruoxi became.

This vampire!

She’s a big liar!!!

No integrity at all!!!

“You said it! You can’t go back on your word! If you don’t even have this basic morality as a person, how will you make others believe you in the future!!”

Li Ruoxi spoke rapidly.

“Furthermore, if you do this, I will definitely sneak away in the future! Even if you curse me, I will still run away!”

Vivian leaned in again.

“You don’t believe me! You actually don’t believe me!!”

Li Ruoxi’s mind raced, and she said, “I actually know that I am the reincarnation of the witch! I also know your relationship with her in the past life!!!!!”

“You…”

Vivian instantly froze.

“You do know!”

Vivian’s eyes suddenly turned blood-red.

As if stained with blood, Li Ruoxi saw nothing but Vivian’s crimson eyes filling her vision.

“You…”

“Speak! Have you been scheming from the start!”

Vivian hated, absolutely detested this kind of scheming.

“Or… do you want to die?”

The fangs in Vivian’s mouth suddenly extended several inches, sharp and gleaming with cold light.

Li Ruoxi: “…”
