“Sister Bai, let me tell you, don’t leave the safe zone recently.”
They were chatting happily when Yang Zixia lowered her voice and gave a mysterious warning, then explained.
“Murders and robberies have dropped a lot these past few days. Many people think now is a good time to go out and search for treasure.”
“But the truth is, it’s not that no one is robbing anymore— it’s that those bandits are hunting a big fat sheep and don’t have the hands to spare.”
“I heard their operation failed, though. No idea who that badass is.”
“Seven or eight large bandit groups joined forces and still couldn’t take her down. She really slapped those bandits in the face.”
“But the people going out recently are going to be in for a rough time. They’ll definitely be used as punching bags.”
As Yang Zixia spoke, she made a throat-slitting gesture and mourned their tragic fate.
Bai. Badass. Luxin. Big Fat Sheep was now a little awkward. The person who slapped the bandits’ faces that Yang Zixia was talking about seemed to be her and Nuobai.
“Doesn’t the government do anything?”
“Good advice is wasted on those who are destined to die. They just think the authorities are getting in the way of their big payday.”
Actually, the authorities had been dealing with this situation all along, but the entire Yubei Secret Realm was too vast.
The people who came here were a mixed bag—they could be treasure hunters one second and bandits the next.
Only near the safe zone, under surveillance, could safety be maintained.
“Even if it were just these bandits, that would be one thing. But what I’m afraid of is attracting the ‘White Ghost.'”
Yang Zixia changed the subject, fear on her face.
“They say the ‘White Ghost’ leaves no survivors. Anyone who sees her dies.”
“She’s like a ghost wandering through Yubei, coming without a trace and leaving without a shadow. Her presence can be felt across most of the secret realm.”
“She’s killed at least eight hundred people, maybe a thousand. So cruel.”
“The authorities organized several sieges, but they only ever saw a flash of a white ghost.”
“She disappeared for a while, but there’s no guarantee she won’t show up again. I still remember the time when even the safe zone was in panic.”
“The name ‘White Ghost’ alone strikes fear into people’s hearts and makes children stop crying.”
White Ghost…
Bai Luxin subconsciously wanted to touch Nuobai, but her hand found nothing. Following the contract bond, she looked toward Yang Zixia’s box.
She opened the box and saw Nuobai lying inside, all the juice finished.
Drunkenly wagging her tail, she tried to climb out several times but failed.
Bai Luxin picked her up.
‘So hot… Is she drunk?’
“Sorry, the little one is a bit greedy.”
“It’s fine.”
Yang Zixia didn’t mind Nuobai sneaking a drink. The proud cat liked her family’s juice and even got dead drunk.
Such a huge contrast was quite a high form of approval.
Bai Luxin insisted on paying full compensation. Yang Zixia couldn’t refuse, so she gave her a hangover soup recipe and promised to send Nuobai juice in the future.
Ha~ Ha~
Nuobai’s body was held up by Bai Luxin, her head resting by Bai Luxin’s ear, panting, and her whole body exuding a faint fruity scent.
The alcohol content in this juice was very low. Bai Luxin never expected Nuobai to get drunk. But seeing how much she liked it, she could learn from Yang Zixia.
Back in the room, Bai Luxin let Nuobai lie down to avoid any danger.
The hangover soup was simple to make. She prepared the ingredients and put them in the pot when suddenly someone hugged her from behind, pressing against her back.
“Nuonuo?”
“The hangover soup will be ready soon. Wait a little longer.”
No one answered behind her. Nuobai grabbed her hand and pressed her against the wall.
Her eyes were hazy, shimmering like a pool of spring water.
Seeing how red her face was, Bai Luxin reached out and pressed her hand against it to cool her down.
The icy touch instantly shattered Nuobai’s reason. Snow Joy Cats naturally love cold things, yet crave warm emotions.
Her burning cheek pressed against Bai Luxin’s neck. The slight pressure made Bai Luxin tilt her head up.
A warm, moist touch greedily devoured the coolness of her snow-white neck.
She wanted to leave her scent mark on Bai Luxin’s body. It was a cat’s instinct.
“Nu… Nuobai!”
The sudden contact made Bai Luxin stutter. Red-faced, she pressed against Nuobai’s shoulders, trying to push her away.
‘Too close!’
This resistance was too weak against Nuobai, but it also stirred a hint of aggression in her.
Her tail deftly wrapped around Bai Luxin’s hands. With no restraint, Nuobai sucked the coolness from her body.
“Stop…”
Her body couldn’t move, and there was nowhere to retreat. Bai Luxin tilted her neck back, a plea escaping her lips.
She felt her body heat up. She saw ink drops on her neck, wandering to her earlobe, spreading and blurring.
A tingling sensation spread along her skin. A feeling of ease and pleasure filled her heart, and she let out an almost shameful sound.
For a moment, she was captivated. After Nuobai finished marking the scent, her movements slowed.
“Nuobai… con, continue… it feels good…”
Hearing the praise, Nuobai did as she wished, gently scraping with her fangs. A slight pain pierced Bai Luxin’s defenses.
She trembled all over, tears forming at the corners of her eyes.
After a while, Bai Luxin finally regained her senses and retracted Nuobai into the Beast Taming Space.
She stared blankly into the mirror at the marks on her own neck, a strong sense of guilt surging in her heart.
When Nuobai started acting off, she could have forced her back into the space.
Even during the process, she had countless opportunities to stop Nuobai.
At first, it was out of indulgence— she let her go.
But later?
When that new, thrilling sensation appeared, she was guiding Nuobai…
‘How despicable, Bai Luxin.’
‘Leading ignorant Nuobai into doing strange things to satisfy your own filthy desires.’
‘Leaving… colors on her blank canvas.’
She didn’t dare summon Nuobai now. She was afraid Nuobai would ask her, would bring up what just happened.
Would she hate her for this?
Maybe she wouldn’t remember.
Bai Luxin clung to a sliver of hope and used the Water of Life to wipe away the marks on her neck.
She finished cooking the hangover soup and fed it to Nuobai.
The next day, Nuobai woke up dizzy. ‘A miscalculation.’
[Ice Soul] didn’t work. Was it because she hadn’t resisted the drunkenness?
So staying always clear-headed required Nuobai’s willingness. If she didn’t want to, she could become a drunk cat.
“Good morning, big sister~”
Bai Luxin sat by the window reading a book. The sunlight fell on her like a holy forest spirit.
“Good morning, Nuonuo.”
Wearing a nightgown, Nuobai padded barefoot across the floor and drank water in big gulps.
Because she drank too fast, water trickled from the corner of her mouth down her neck.
Bai Luxin’s gaze followed the water downward, finally landing on the erect snow-white.
She turned her head away and waited for Nuobai to finish drinking.
“Ahh, that feels good!”
“Big sister~”
Nuobai threw herself into Bai Luxin’s arms, wagging her tail nonstop.
Seeing her expression as usual, Bai Luxin smoothed her hair.
“Do you remember what happened last night?”
Nuobai tilted her head, thought for a moment, and came up with nothing. She looked at her curiously.
“Big sister~ Was there something fun?”
“White Ghost is you.”
Nuobai’s tail paused. When it resumed wagging, it had lost its cheerful rhythm.
“I don’t understand. What’s ‘White Ghost’?”
“An interesting legend.”
Bai Luxin already had her answer. She gently stroked her ear, her guilt deepening.
‘She’s such a bad big sister.’
Nuobai had done so much for her, faced countless dangers.
And she had bullied Nuobai, tempted her into doing wrong just to satisfy herself.
As for the killings by ‘White Ghost,’ Bai Luxin couldn’t make any statement.
She was the beneficiary. A share of that sin should belong to her.
At the same time, a question arose: Had Nuobai felt good last night?
She quickly shook off that strange thought. She had to become a good big sister. She picked up Nuobai and put her on the bed.
“You need to dress properly at home.”
‘Dress properly, my ass.’ Nuobai directly transformed into a cat. She didn’t want to touch this cat-girl body any more than necessary.
It was completely a black history.
Why did it have to be so big? She couldn’t see her feet when she looked down. It seemed to remind her every moment: ‘You’re a woman!’
She missed being a guy, when she could run around shirtless without a care.
She had to think of a way to deal with this pair of trouble.
