“I’ve decided…”
Fengling said to herself in the mirror.
The vampire loli in the mirror had red eyes, messy hair, and was wearing a wrinkled sleeping dress.
But right now, her expression looked like she had made up her mind, yet it also carried a hint of bewilderment.
“I won’t run away anymore… I won’t leave. It’s not like I can escape anyway, and Sister Ling Yue has been pretty good to me… Except for not letting me go out, she gives me the best of everything. Food, drinks, entertainment, clothes… She’s even arranged everything properly for my mom. So what more could I ask for?”
Then she counted on her fingers.
“First, running away means getting killed. That’s from experience—solid proof.”
“Second, if I don’t run away, at least I get to live. As long as I live, I can play games, watch anime, and drink Sister Ling Yue’s super delicious blood.”
The Primogenitor Blood was really delicious…
It made her lick her lips.
“And third… three… Huh? Wait! Isn’t this Stockholm Syndrome? Am I brainwashing myself?”
Fengling stared at her reflection for a long time, then spread her hands and said, “Forget it. Being alive is better than being dead anyway… This is a lesson I, Xu Fengling, learned with one life! I absolutely can’t waste it!”
And so, Xu Fengling made a far-reaching decision at the second major turning point of her life…
Hopefully, it was the right one.
Then Fengling patted her cheeks and headed to the dining room where Ling Yue was.

“Xiao Fengling, here’s your breakfast.”
Ling Yue placed the tray on the table and said with a smile.
“Thank you, Sister Ling Yue.”
She first picked up the cup of blood and took a big gulp.
The feeling of the blood sliding down her throat still made her whole body comfortable…
Ever since the complete transformation, every time she drank blood, it felt like charging her body.
That sense of satisfaction spread from the tip of her tongue all the way to her fingertips, warming her entire being.
“By the way, what do you want to do today?”
Ling Yue took the empty plate and casually wiped the corner of her mouth clean of blood.
“I’m fine with anything, Sister Ling Yue can arrange it,” Fengling said with a smile.
“Then how about reading with me?”
“Sure, sure!”
But just as Fengling was about to get off the chair, Ling Yue walked over first and scooped her up.
“Sister Ling Yue! I can walk on my own!”
“But Elder Sister wants to hold you~”
Ling Yue bounced her up a little.
“Xiao Fengling is so light, it’s no trouble at all~”
Hearing this, Fengling gave up struggling…
It wasn’t like struggling would help anyway, and to be honest, being held didn’t feel bad.
Sister Ling Yue’s embrace was cool.
It would probably be very comfortable in summer.
Though the castle was always climate-controlled…
She couldn’t even remember if it was summer or winter outside.

In the study, Ling Yue placed Fengling on the sofa and went to pick a book from the bookshelf.
Fengling curled up in the corner of the sofa and stared blankly at Ling Yue’s back.
Ling Yue was wearing a dark blue dress today…
The waist was cinched tight, the hem reached her calves, and her hair was left loose, falling over her shoulders and swaying gently with her movements.
‘She’s so beautiful… Sister Ling Yue is such a beauty~’
Fengling silently sighed to herself.
The next second, she quickly suppressed that thought.
Even though she had given up on running away… every time she had such thoughts about Ling Yue, she still wondered if something was wrong with her head.
After all, in the previous cycle, this woman had pierced through her heart with her finger.
But that was in the previous cycle.
In this cycle, Sister Ling Yue was very good to her.
Apart from not letting her go out and occasionally drinking a little blood, she basically didn’t do anything excessive.
As long as she kept being obedient, nothing bad should happen.
“Found it.”
Ling Yue pulled a thick book from the shelf, walked back, and sat down next to Fengling.
“I’ll read this one to you today.”
“What book is it?”
“A poetry collection. Written by a French vampire.”
“Poetry? What’s it about?”
“About love.”
Then Ling Yue lowered her head and read a passage.
Fengling listened for a while, and her expression gradually shifted from anticipation to confusion.
“Hey, Sister Ling Yue… what does ‘Merging with you in eternal darkness’ mean?”
She tilted her head and asked.
“Literal meaning.”
“Then what about the next line, ‘Blood becomes a bond under the moonlight’?”
“Also literal.”
“Are all poems written by Vampires this… direct?”
Ling Yue closed the book, smiled sweetly at her, and said, “Vampires’ way of expressing love is naturally more straightforward. Unlike humans, who beat around the bush. If you like someone, you say you like them. If you want something, you say you want it… Come, look at this poem: ‘I would pierce my fangs into your carotid artery and taste the deepest flavor of your soul’… Isn’t that romantic~”
Fengling was silent for about five seconds.
“Hey, Sister Ling Yue… don’t you Vampires have a different understanding of the word ‘romantic’ compared to humans?”
“It’s just that you’re not used to it yet. Once you live a few more hundred years, you’ll find this kind of expression perfectly normal.”
“I think even if I live for thousands of years, I won’t think being bitten on the neck is romantic,” Fengling said expressionlessly.
“Really? But every time I bite your neck, your reaction says otherwise~”
Hearing this, Fengling’s face instantly flushed.
She quickly said, “Th-That’s a physiological reaction! It’s not something I can control!”
“Oh? So Xiao Fengling admits her body is honest, and it’s just her mouth that’s stubborn?”
Ling Yue countered with a smile.
“I’m not being stubborn!”
“Then how about we try now? I’ll bite you and see whether your body tells the truth.”
Ling Yue closed the book and said with a grin.
“N-No thanks! I believe you! I believe you, okay!”
“But I want to try it~”
Then Ling Yue placed her hand on Fengling’s shoulder and gently pushed her back onto the sofa.
Fengling’s back pressed against the soft leather surface, and her heart began to race.
“Sister Ling Yue, you… weren’t you going to read to me…”
“The book can wait.”
The next moment, Ling Yue leaned down and pressed her lips against Fengling’s neck.
Fengling closed her eyes, waiting for the sensation of two sharp fangs piercing in.
But Ling Yue didn’t bite…
She just brushed her lips gently against the skin on Fengling’s neck, giving her goosebumps all over.
“Xiao Fengling’s skin is really soft~”
“Lin-Ling Yue Sister… ha… ha…”
“Don’t move. Let Elder Sister smell you.”
‘Smell what? What’s there to smell?’
Fengling thought to herself, but her body truly didn’t move at all.
After a moment, Ling Yue finally lifted her head and said, “Xiao Fengling’s scent is getting better and better… It used to be sweet, but now there’s a more mature note to it. Is it because of the complete transformation?”
“Can Vampires really smell that?”
“Of course. A Vampire’s sense of smell is much keener than a human’s. We can judge another Vampire’s state through scent… For example, you right now—”
Ling Yue said this and sniffed her neck again.
“You’re healthy, your blood is abundant, and because you just drank some of my blood, your aura is especially stable.”
“I-I see…”
Then Ling Yue moved closer to her ear and lowered her voice, saying, “And right now, Xiao Fengling’s body is covered in my scent… If other Vampires smell it, they’ll know you’re mine and won’t dare to lay a finger on you.”
With that, she got up from Fengling and picked up the poetry book again.
“Alright, let’s continue reading. Next is poem number five…”
Fengling touched her own neck.
There was still the coolness left by Ling Yue’s lips.
“Hey, Sister Ling Yue… if other Vampires smell my scent, will they really not dare to touch me?” she asked softly.
“Really~”
“Then what if there really is one who isn’t afraid to die?”
“Then I’ll make him a true dead man.”
Ling Yue answered expressionlessly.
And then Fengling decided not to pursue that topic any further.
