Today, Lin Xue was in a terrible mood.
No, make that absolutely terrible!!!
Because everything happening now was wildly different from what she had expected.
In Lin Xue’s plan, Su Qi not waking her up directly this morning and confronting her was within her expectations.
To that end, pretending to be asleep, Lin Xue had carefully prepared a strategy: first stay calm, then act confused, and finally admit her mistake—explaining that she hadn’t found the key in Su Qi’s pocket, which led to the unexpected situation of taking him back to her own home.
Considering that Su Qi might get angry, and for Su Qi’s safety as well as to establish contact with him later,
Lin Xue had even thoughtfully hung a jacket on the chair before Su Qi woke up that morning.
That way, when Su Qi went to school tomorrow, he could use the jacket as a way to strike up a conversation with the adorable junior schoolmate.
The plan had seemed perfect, but one thing after another happened that completely shattered her expectations.
First, when she called Su Qi, she encountered a pair of scheming sisters with ill intent toward him.
After the call was abruptly cut off, careful Lin Xue relied on the background music during the call—“Welcome to My Joy Plaza Shopping”—to locate the mall.
After thoroughly searching every corner of the mall and finding no sign of Su Qi, she recalled the warmth of holding him that morning and feared that Su Qi might have been forcibly coaxed home by some malicious women, or worse, harmed.
Lin Xue decided to verify at Su Qi’s residence.
Though flying during the day was extremely taxing for a vampire princess who feared sunlight, the thought of Su Qi possibly falling into the hands of other women stirred a restless unease in her heart.
In the end, she extended her black wings and braved the blazing sun to fly.
When she reached above Muyang Community, Su Qi’s 15th-floor apartment was in a 32-story building.
Having only been there once, Lin Xue wasn’t very familiar with the place, so to avoid flying to the wrong floor, she started counting each level.
But when she arrived above the community, Lin Xue immediately sensed something was off.
Normally, the windows of an apartment complex emitted a natural white light, but only one window on a middle floor glowed with a seductive pink haze.
Seeing that aura of Ability light, Lin Xue felt uneasy as she looked toward the mid-level.
Flapping her wings and drawing closer, she saw it clearly.
The Su Qi who had been sleeping peacefully in her arms that morning had already changed into male clothes.
His peach blossom eyes shimmered with a mist, looking like a docile little deer as he was being held gently by a woman.
The woman holding Su Qi had a black tail tipped with a red heart, which extended down to Su Qi’s pants, continuously emitting wave after wave of pink light.
As the pink aura swelled, Su Qi’s black eyes began to ripple with pink waves.
The woman whispered something to Su Qi, and the next moment, Su Qi nodded somewhat absentmindedly.
Then the woman carried him toward the bed.
Lin Xue, outside the window, had no idea what was happening or the relationship between the two.
But from what she could see, no matter how she looked at it, Su Qi was definitely being enchanted by this suspicious woman.
Her chest tightened, and an unnamable fury began to rise within her.
Thud~
The next moment, the sound of shattering glass echoed inside the room.
“Enchantress, what are you trying to do to my junior schoolmate!!”
The sudden breaking glass and the rush of fresh air swept away the previously decadent, romantic atmosphere and the sweet scent lingering in the room.
Su Qi, who had been nestled comfortably in Sister Wen Yin’s warm embrace, poised on the verge of maturity, was momentarily stunned by the sharp voice breaking through the window.
Instinctively, the voice felt somewhat familiar.
Before Su Qi could even lift his head from the embrace to see what was going on, he suddenly felt his body lighten, followed by a dizzying whirl, and he landed on the sofa.
When his vision steadied, he finally saw the girl standing in front of him was Senior Sister Lin Xue.
But unlike the peaceful sleeping girl he’d said goodbye to that morning, Senior Lin Xue now looked somewhat disheveled.
Her pale, delicate face was beaded with sweat, and her bright apricot eyes were dimmer than usual, clearly showing signs of fatigue.
Most notably, behind her sprouted a pair of black wings.
Perhaps because she was a vampire princess who feared sunlight, those black wings trembled lightly, like muscles in spasm.
Seeing Senior Lin in such a state, although Su Qi was still irritated about the interrupted “good thing” a moment ago, his confusion outweighed his anger.
“Senior Lin, why are you here?”
Hearing Su Qi’s puzzled response from behind,
Lin Xue sighed softly, stroked Su Qi’s head, and spoke earnestly.
“Junior Schoolmate Su, don’t be afraid that I’m here. That way, she won’t be able to enchant you anymore.”
Su Qi: ???
While she spoke, Lin Xue quietly positioned herself in front of Su Qi, turning her gaze to Gu Wen Yin, who had just been holding Su Qi.
As a woman’s intuition, despite the worry caused by the scheming sisters over the phone earlier,
Lin Xue felt a strong sense of crisis the moment she saw Gu Wen Yin in person.
One reason was Gu Wen Yin’s appearance: both her figure and aura made Lin Xue recognize her as a formidable rival, even as a fellow girl.
The other was a more instinctive, literal sense of danger.
Though Gu Wen Yin wore a faint smile, as an explorer of the Saint Ruins, Lin Xue could sense the strength she possessed.
As their eyes met, a subtle, invisible current of tension sparked between the two beautiful girls.
“Xiaoqi, this one who’s rude in residential areas—is she your friend? If not, sister will have to send her flying,” a soft but commanding female voice broke the stalemate.
Perhaps due to being interrupted at a critical moment, though Gu Wen Yin’s temperament was gentle, a trace of irritation surfaced.
Her phoenix-like eyes narrowed dangerously.
Though the corner of her lips still curled into a smile, she radiated an indescribable pressure and authority.
As she spoke, Gu Wen Yin laid a slender jade-like hand over the black stockings encasing her shapely legs.
The next moment, the exquisite black stockings seemed to take on a life of their own, gradually retracting from her legs and transforming into a long black whip, firmly grasped in Sister Wen Yin’s palm.
Not to be outdone, Lin Xue clenched her teeth, summoning a blood-red longsword into her own hand.
The tension between the two grew thicker by the second.
Though it was Su Qi’s first time witnessing Sister Wen Yin’s battle mode, and he was curious about who was stronger, he stepped forward swiftly to block the space between the two.
But feeling the probing gaze of the two beauties—especially Sister Wen Yin on his left—
Su Qi found himself troubled.
How exactly should he introduce the intruding Senior Lin Xue to Sister Wen Yin?
If he told the truth—that Senior Lin had tried to lull him to sleep last night, that they had shared the same bed, and that he had just confirmed his relationship with Sister Wen Yin, and now this situation—
how would Sister Wen Yin react?
Wouldn’t that be the legendary case of “two-timing”?
But now, it seemed he couldn’t avoid explaining.
Just as Su Qi wracked his brain for a way out, before he could say anything,
he suddenly felt a soft, distinctly feminine touch on his right arm, followed by a lively, girlish voice gently sounding out.
“Of course I’m friends with Junior Schoolmate Su Qi, and we’ll be especially good boyfriend and girlfriend in the future. Not like you, some succubus who only knows how to deceive.”
Hearing Senior Lin’s teasing confession with ambiguous implications, Su Qi was about to clear up any misunderstandings with Sister Wen Yin.
But as Lin Xue’s words continued,
Su Qi froze in place.
Suc…succubus?
My Sister Wen Yin’s Ability is… succubus???
