“Wait, is this little Gray Nose, who’s always so good at escaping, really just surrendering himself like this?”
Inside the dilapidated stone hut,
When Brother Hao saw the Saint Ash Rabbit taking the initiative to walk over to Su Qi on its cute little short legs, finally leaping right into Su Qi’s arms for a hug, he was in utter disbelief.
Maybe it was because they’d failed to catch the little guy twice already.
Faced with this scene, Brother Hao couldn’t help but reach out a finger, wanting to poke the Saint Ash Rabbit’s fluffy fur on its short rabbit tail.
Pa~
But his hand had only gotten halfway there when it was blocked by An Xiaoling, whose eyes were shining with excitement.
“Go, go, go, your hands are too strong! What if you accidentally hurt the little one and it runs away? Let me do it. Little bunny, come here, let me pet you.”
Seeing An Xiaoling reach out her little devilish claws,
The Little Gray Rabbit by Su Qi’s feet instantly puffed up, and like a child seeking its mother, burrowed straight into Su Qi’s embrace, trembling all the while.
Just moments ago, Su Qi had been immersed in the “Memory of the Clan Leader”, when he suddenly felt a fluffy little thing in his arms.
Although the Saint Ash Rabbit looked quite filthy—its entire body covered in gray from always digging holes—bringing a lot of dust and dirt onto Su Qi’s clothes, even smudging his fair neck and face until he looked rather disheveled,
Su Qi, who had just gained the memory of the clan leader, thought about how, without the clan leader’s protection, there was only this one little fellow left out of the original three.
Judging by how timid and cautious the little one was just now, it was clear it had been living a very rough life.
Perhaps it was the effect of inheriting the clan leader’s “spatula fate”, but Su Qi found himself feeling more affectionate toward the little guy, not disgusted at all.
He gently hugged the little one’s soft bottom and, with some effort, lifted it up.
But as Su Qi took a closer look at the little guy, he was momentarily stunned.
Even though he’d noticed from a distance that the Saint Ash Rabbit looked cute, only at close range did he realize that it was far more adorable than he’d imagined.
It had those long, signature rabbit ears on top of its head; its small, soft body was wrapped in fluffy fur.
With a loli face and childlike figure reminiscent of a human infant, its cuteness was just like some chibi Q-version Mini from an anime, much like doro and the Cheshire Cat.
If it were cleaned up, it would be even cuter.
As Su Qi stroked the obedient, pitiable little creature’s head—gently soothing and admiring its adorableness—
Lin Xue, who had been standing by Su Qi’s side all along, now furrowed her brows slightly and stepped closer.
She couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to catch a faint scent of blood in the air.
That sweet aroma, she realized, only came from Su Qi.
“Su Boss, I know you’re happy about getting your first Spiritual Artifact, but do you feel any discomfort? Are you hurt somewhere? I smell a bit of blood on you.”
Seeing Senior Lin Xue come over with such a serious look, and even glancing unconsciously downward—
As if checking if Su Qi was having that time of the month—
Su Qi felt a flash of embarrassment.
But seeing Lin Xue’s earnest expression, Su Qi managed to recover from the excitement of obtaining the clan leader’s spatula and hugging the little rabbit, regaining some composure.
Once calm, Su Qi carefully checked himself and quickly noticed something wrong.
His own strength stat was only 6, but the Saint Ash Rabbit’s weight was like that of a small child, only about ten jin.
He’d picked the lightest position—lifting it by its bottom—so it should have been easy.
But for some reason, he actually felt strained and even broke out in a sweat.
That didn’t seem right.
Recalling the faint heaviness in his left foot when he first entered the Saint Ruins,
Su Qi subconsciously shook his left foot again.
And after this shake, Su Qi suddenly discovered…
Mmmmmm… why did his left thigh, just above the knee, feel a little sore?
Seeing Su Qi furrow his brow and rub his legs, his face pale and framed by a fluffy plaid skirt,
Lin Xue quickly waved at the three boys from the Cangyou Wildcat Team.
“Xiaoling, take the three boys outside for a bit. I suspect Su Boss might have been bitten by a Blood Leech.”
Blood Leech?
Hearing this, Su Qi felt it sounded strangely familiar.
Thinking back, he remembered Lin Xue explaining when he almost tripped over a vine earlier—it was a parasite that lived on vines.
But what did being bitten by a Blood Leech have to do with the boys leaving?
While Su Qi pondered, An Xiaoling herded the three Cangyou Wildcat Team boys out the door.
Once there were no boys left and the faint sweet, bloody scent on Su Qi became more noticeable,
Lin Xue discreetly pinched her own thigh to maintain her composure, then gently helped Su Qi sit on a little earthen bed in the room.
Hugging the little rabbit as he was guided to sit, Su Qi saw Lin Xue crouch down in front of him.
He couldn’t tell if it was just his imagination, but in that moment, he seemed to catch a trace of excitement flickering in the Blood Princess’s red eyes.
Excitement?
Su Qi couldn’t help but shudder and asked his question.
“Uh… Senior Lin, how do you treat a Blood Leech bite?”
At Su Qi’s question, Lin Xue only thought for a moment before replying,
“Su Qi Junior Schoolmate, Blood Leeches feed on blood and have some venom. The sooner you deal with them, the better. But don’t be afraid, I’m quite the expert at handling Blood Leeches. Us Blood Princesses come with our own Cleansing function.”
Blood Empress Ability, Cleansing.
Mulling over Lin Xue’s words, just as Su Qi was lost in thought,
Lin Xue, crouched by Su Qi’s feet, gently lifted Su Qi’s roomy skirt and, under Su Qi’s shocked gaze, poked her head right in without a word.
“I’m coming in…”
Su Qi: !!!!!!!!
As a Blood Princess, night vision was a basic skill.
Once inside the plaid skirt, Lin Xue was greeted by Su Qi’s long, slender, almost reflective legs.
With the skirt enclosing the space, Su Qi’s faint fragrance became much more concentrated, mixed with a sweet hint of blood.
At that moment, as a Blood Princess, Lin Xue felt like she was in heaven.
She gently grasped Su Qi’s restless ankle, her hands tracing slowly upward along those slender, straight legs to search for the wound, her cheek brushing against Su Qi’s soft, delicate skin and taking in that cool, wonderful sensation.
As she moved higher, when her gaze shifted from the ankle to the thigh above the knee,
Lin Xue involuntarily swallowed.
Long ago, as a girl, Lin Xue had stumbled upon a post describing some boys’ unusual fetishes.
Curious, she’d clicked in.
One boy confessed that he liked to slip his face under a girl’s skirt and slowly move upward, enjoying the hazy beauty, the sweet, unique scent, the shift from cool to warm, the feeling of being enveloped by a girl’s thighs.
Many boys in the comments agreed.
Back then, the thought that she might be the one being looked at had made Lin Xue, as a girl, a little repulsed.
But now, inside Su Qi’s plaid skirt, having slid past his slender calves to his full, soft thighs,
Lin Xue pressed her face to Su Qi’s snowy skin, surrounded by warmth, fragrance, and that plush softness…
At that moment, Lin Xue suddenly realized—she could kind of understand that fetish.
This skirt adventure was surprisingly stimulating and delightful—truly addictive!
Yet, even while enjoying herself, Lin Xue didn’t forget the task at hand.
Amidst the warmth and fragrance, she carefully searched for the Blood Leech.
Soon, she found a blood-red figure on the inside of Su Qi’s thigh, jarringly out of place against his fair skin.
She carefully removed the greedy little Blood Leech and tossed it to the ground.
Gazing at the bite mark and the faintly darkened blood tainted by venom, and breathing in that sweet scent, Lin Xue lightly licked her red lips before burying her face in again.
“Su Boss, the Blood Leech is gone. Now it’s time for your Cleansing.”
The moment Lin Xue began Cleansing, a prompt popped up in Su Qi’s mind.
[Ding! Detected that host has successfully provided a bento to the Blood Princess—Shuxi Bento. Gained 1,000 special Sutai Experience Points.]
Seeing this prompt, Su Qi was utterly dumbfounded.
Ugh… What do you mean I provided a Shuxi Bento?
Could it be… I myself am the Shuxi Bento?
No… This isn’t right.
No, no, no, this Cleansing is not right, I don’t want any more Cleansing!!!
Senior Lin Xue, stop the Cleansing, come out now.
😭😭😭
