Chapter 46: I can’t coax her anymore!

The young girl slumped by the lakeshore, her face flushed as she panted for breath.

“Hey, are you done yet?”

Taurani reached out a finger and poked Mo Baiwei’s cheek.

‘So soft… bouncy and elastic, this is fun.’

“Then can you… let go of me first…”

Mo Baiwei felt a surge of relief hearing her words.

It was finally over.

If it had gone on any longer, she wouldn’t have been able to hold out.

At this moment, her face was crimson and her body was weak from the stimulation on her tail.

It was the first time she had ever shown such a side of herself to an outsider.

Taurani watched the Little Elf before her—trembling, yet trying so hard to suppress herself—and felt a wave of delight.

The Little Elf’s reaction was simply too much fun!

In contrast to Taurani’s amusement, the intense stimulation on her tail caused waves of numbness to wash over Mo Baiwei’s body.

They crashed against her reason like tide after tide, making her feel restless and even a little… pleasurable?

‘No, that’s not right! How could I have such thoughts?!’

Mo Baiwei shook her dizzy head vigorously, trying to force herself to clear her mind.

“Oh my, Little Elf… no, little Weiwei.”

Taurani looked at Mo Baiwei with an obsessed expression before saying something that made Mo Baiwei’s groggy brain come to a complete halt.

“Well then, I’m digging in!”

“?!”

Mo Baiwei was stunned the moment she heard those words.

Didn’t she say it was over?

Why was there more?!

She couldn’t take it anymore!!

She thought it was finished, but there was a second stage?!

The Little Elf wanted to cry but had no tears.

She regretted it now; if she had known, she never would have let Taurani play with her tail.

The girl didn’t know her own strength, and now she was getting carried away.

“But, but…”

Mo Baiwei was just about to protest when she suddenly felt a sharp sting on her shoulder.

She turned her head to find that Taurani’s sharp fangs had already pierced her skin, and her blood was being sucked away.

‘?’ A giant question mark appeared over Mo Baiwei’s head.

When did Taurani get so close? How did she not even notice being bitten?!

“Don’t just use your mouth! Hey! Taurani! Stop sucking!!”

Mo Baiwei grew frantic as she felt Taurani continuously drawing her blood.

“Spit it out!”

Seeing her blood steadily entering Taurani’s mouth, the Little Elf was so anxious she was on the verge of tears.

She pinched Taurani’s cheeks with both hands and pulled backward with all her might.

Despite pulling for a long time, Taurani’s mouth remained clamped firmly onto Mo Baiwei’s shoulder.

Because of the girl’s struggling, she not only got blood all over herself but also exhausted what little physical strength she had left.

Looking down at her clothes, which were now stained and dirty from her own blood, Mo Baiwei felt a surge of grievance.

“Waaaah, I have to wash these clothes myself… Stop sucking! If you keep going, I’m going to die!”

Mo Baiwei rubbed her clothes heart-wrenchingly.

Weak from blood loss, she used the last shred of her strength to give Taurani a gentle shove.

“Mph.”

Surprisingly, with that one push, Taurani seemed to snap out of a dream.

She regained her senses and hastily let go.

“I’m full! Eh? Weiwei, why is your face so white?”

“You, you, you…”

Mo Baiwei looked at the saliva remaining on her shoulder and the faint indentations of teeth, then looked at the innocent-looking Taurani.

In an instant, tears began to well up in her eyes again.

“If you hadn’t let go, you would have drained me dry…”

“Eh? Really? Sorry about that, Weiwei,” Taurani apologized, though her face lacked any trace of sincerity as she grinned mischievously.

“You’re clearly getting back at me, aren’t you?!” Mo Baiwei looked at the grinning Taurani and grumbled in a low voice.

“Heh-heh~”

Hearing that response, Mo Baiwei’s hair practically stood on end.

“What do you mean ‘heh-heh’? You were just tricking me and playing with my feelings to get revenge, weren’t you? And to think I actually believed you!”

Thinking about how naive she had been to trust the words of a Blood Demon only to be toyed with, Mo Baiwei finally reached her limit.

She had genuinely treated the girl as a friend, but the other party had used her trust to get even!

Feeling her sincerity betrayed once again, the sadness in Mo Baiwei’s heart grew until it finally overflowed as tears.

“Who told you to see all of me? You said yourself that you would take responsibility… Eh? Why are you crying?!”

Taurani tried to argue, but she suddenly noticed two crystal-clear streaks running down the Little Elf’s face under the moonlight.

‘No way. Did this Little Elf really just start crying?’

Suddenly, Taurani was at a loss.

She was the Second Princess of the Blood Demon Empire; how was she supposed to know how to comfort someone?! People always comforted her; she never had to do it for others.

However, watching Mo Baiwei cry harder and harder, Taurani had no choice but to brace herself.

“I’m sorry! Weiwei, I apologize to you! It was my fault!”

Taurani forced the words out through gritted teeth.

She had never said such things to anyone before.

But the effect wasn’t great.

Mo Baiwei didn’t react at all, continuing to sob where she sat.

‘How can this be? Can I really not comfort this Little Elf?’

Taurani felt a sense of frustration.

As someone who was always competitive and headstrong, she just wanted to solve this trouble quickly.

After thinking it over, she decided the reason she was failing was because she hadn’t offered anything to catch Mo Baiwei’s attention.

After all, she had seen adults give children lollipops to stop them from crying.

‘That must be it!’

Taurani pulled a piece of candy from her pocket and held it out to Mo Baiwei, using a gentle tone to comfort her.

“Weiwei, stop crying. Here, have this.”

“I don’t want it!”

Mo Baiwei turned her head aw

If it weren’t for the fact that she had no strength and couldn’t run, she would have hidden in a lonely corner to have a good cry a long time ago.

Everyone was like this.

Even though she treated them with sincerity, they all just wanted to use her, deceive her, and hurt her.

‘It’s so unfair!’

Did she have to be a punching bag for them to vent their frustrations?

Looking at Mo Baiwei’s reaction, Taurani was out of ideas.

Coming up with those two comforting sentences had already exhausted her brain.

She had nothing left…

How on earth was she supposed to coax this Little Elf? She couldn’t just sit here all night, could she?

While Taurani was scratching her head in anxiety, Mo Baiwei’s crying gradually grew quieter.

‘Did she vent it all out?’

Taurani blinked curiously and stared at Mo Baiwei, only to notice the girl’s body beginning to sway uncontrollably, as if she might collapse at any moment.

‘What’s going on?’

Just then, Mo Baiwei’s body suddenly tipped backward.

Taurani was quick and caught her in time.

“Don’t… I don’t want to… I won’t…”

Mo Baiwei murmured.

Her tears stopped as her eyelids gradually closed, and she stopped moving.

Taurani checked Mo Baiwei’s heartbeat, then pulled out a handkerchief and began to wipe the tear stains from her face with a sigh.

“So she just cried herself to sleep. I thought something had happened; you scared me to death.”

Taurani muttered to herself as she gently wiped the girl’s face.

“I was just joking with you. Don’t be so dramatic. Everyone knows Blood Demons drink blood. I didn’t do it on purpose either; I clearly told you I was digging in beforehand.”

Speaking to this point, Taurani couldn’t help but pout.

Was this Little Elf really that sensitive to jokes?

Whatever.

Once her Pendant was finished with the disguise, she would just carry her back.

“Bishop! Do you really have no other thoughts on this matter?”

Francis, missing one arm, knelt on the ground before a figure in white robes.

“Francis, you are a very loyal Defender of the Faith. However, The Holy See is about to hold the Holy Sacrifice. I hope you can remain in the Papal State to protect the ceremony.”

“But…”

Francis wanted to say more, but the Bishop interrupted him.

“Francis, do you know what the Holy Sacrifice is?”

“It is a rite held by the faithful followers of our Lord to communicate with Him and call back our supreme Lord.”

“Yes, correct. You remember well. You truly are a Defender of the Faith capable of attaining The Dogma among the missionaries.”

The white-robed Bishop nodded with satisfaction upon hearing Francis’s answer.

“However, this year’s Holy Sacrifice is a bit different.”

The Bishop smiled slightly at the hesitant Francis.

“The Saintess has been found.”

“What?!”

Francis was stunned.

The position of Saintess, which had been vacant for many years, had actually been filled?!

“This year, the new Saintess will participate in the Holy Sacrifice. That is to say, this year’s ceremony is not only a rite for our Lord, but also the day the new Saintess returns to The Holy See.”

“We will perform the Divine Blood Rite once again to witness the birth of the new Saintess!”

“Is that true? Bishop, does that not mean our Holy See will become even more glorious?!”

Francis was both surprised and delighted by the Bishop’s words, his heart filled with anticipation for the future.

“Yes, except…”

The Bishop paused before continuing.

“I don’t know what they are doing over there. The Saintess has yet to arrive in the Papal State.”

Hearing this, Francis grew excited.

This was his chance!

“Bishop, I am willing to go and investigate the Saintess’s situation and escort her safely to the Papal State!!”

“Very well, Francis. You truly are the Defender of the Faith I favor. You shall go this time!”

The Bishop was very pleased and looked at Francis with great appreciation.

Francis was ecstatic at the Bishop’s praise.

“Oh, right. Take some things with you. When escorting the Saintess, we cannot afford any mistakes.”

“Your subordinate obeys!”
