Su Yue pulled the black suitcase from under the bed. The heavy case demanded real effort from the girl.
It was a leather suitcase, its front embossed with a slightly blurred golden beast-head motif—majestic, radiating a chilling aura of bloodshed.
Su Yue swallowed hard and gently lifted the lid.
Inside lay a silver short sword, an iron token, and a cylindrical object carved with a snarling beast.
Tentatively, she brushed a finger along the blade. A violent killing intent erupted. Sharp pain shot through her fingertip. She yanked her hand back. On the once-smooth steel, a single crimson drop was slowly being absorbed.
Just a touch—and her finger was cut.
No hesitation. Su Yue snapped the case shut, shoved it firmly back beneath the bed. *I’ll explore the rest later.*
“Everyone hides study notes under their beds… Why does *he* stash weapons?” she muttered.
Yet even as she complained, Su Yue realized: Chen Yan was no ordinary hunter. An artifact this sinister must have drunk deep of enemy blood—like demonic treasures wielded by rogue cultivators in the cultivation world.
Still, this was far beyond what Su Yue, at her current Qi Refining stage, should probe.
She scanned the room again. Only the large desk remained. Chen Yan had specifically warned her not to touch it.
*Maybe the study materials are right there!*
Su Yue refused to believe any normal guy’s room held zero traces of his preferences. Even if everything lived on his phone, clues would linger—manga, photo books, illustrations of novel heroines.
Ignoring the warning, she approached the desk.
Photo frames caught her eye first. One held a group shot: Chen Yan beside a blond youth, a burly bespectacled man, a pink-haired girl, and a horned girl of another race with jet-black horns.
*Photo taken December 2, 2027, Zone 2, Northern Frontier.*
Su Yue checked her phone—2030. Three years ago.
The second frame showed a young, loving couple and a girl roughly Su Yue’s current age, scowling fiercely at the camera.
“This must be his family… Hmm, his sister looks tough to approach.” Su Yue traced the girl’s face, searching for resemblance to Chen Yan.
The photos revealed little—nothing clear about Chen Yan’s tastes. Still, the pink-haired girl and horned girl joined the mental list. As for the sister…
“He wouldn’t be *that* into her… right?” Su Yue shook her head.
Setting the frame down, her gaze landed on a book lying face-down. She flipped it over.
*How to Raise a Vampire Princess*

Hands trembling, Su Yue scanned the code.
*Ding~ This QR code has already been used.*
A notification glowed on her screen.
“Vampire Princess… high-res image packs…” *Oh no. I’m his type.*
Little Vampire hastily returned the book to its place.

At 3:30 PM, Lucifer’s voice chimed from the door.
“Su Yue! I’m here to play!”
All-day-trembling Su Yue opened the door dazedly. The black-clad Little Vampire zipped in and, as usual, wrapped her arms around Su Yue.
“Good afternoon, little Su Yue! Good afternoon, Brother Chen Yan~ Huh? Where’s Brother Chen Yan?”
“He’s not home.” Su Yue struggled to turn in the entryway while hugged by Fei, closing the door.
Honestly? A bubbly girl’s hug did recharge her. Su Yue felt clearer.
“Does this mean… just you and me for private time, little Su Yue?” Lucifer’s eyes sparkled.
“Stop rubbing. We’ll be alone until evening anyway.”
“Yay! Then let’s go to your room!”
“Huh?”
Lucifer had already kicked off her tiny leather shoes. Wings fluttering, she hovered midair, drifting inward.
Su Yue snagged her black-stockinged ankle. “Wait. Slippers.”
“Don’t tickle my feet, little Su Yue~”
“Then put them on properly.”
“I will, I will!”
Blushing, Lucifer wobbled down, slipping her feet into the fluffy slippers Su Yue offered. Black tights against white fur created sharp contrast. She nudged her foot beside Su Yue’s—matching pairs, one black, one white, identical patterns.
“Little Su Yue~ You *do* love me! Bestie slippers!”
“Mm…”
*(Truth: All slippers were Su Yue’s. Chen Yan bought her several pairs.)*
Another truth Su Yue couldn’t bear to share.
“Can we go to your room now?”
“Why are you so fixated on my room?”
Muttering complaints, her body betrayed her—leading Fei to the bedroom door and pushing it open.
“Wow… Su Yue’s room… um… very… very…” Lucifer stammered, scanning the decor.
“Very stereotypical, right?” Su Yue supplied.
“No! Very… very *Su Yue*. Very *Vampire Princess*.”
*Since when did “Su Yue” and “Vampire Princess” become adjectives?*
“Just come in.”
Su Yue pulled Fei inside and closed the door.
The two Vampire Princesses sank onto the plush princess bed. Lucifer pressed down—the mattress bounced gently. Their bodies jiggled with the motion. Su Yue felt her own bounce for the first time; Lucifer’s even more generous slime proved startlingly alluring.
“Your bed is so soft, Su Yue.”
Lucifer flopped onto the pillows, propping her cheeks, eyes roaming the room’s odd trinkets.
“Oh~” A knowing hum.
“W-What?”
“Little Su Yue is just like a princess~” Lucifer sat up, eyes gleaming.
“Huh?”
“Sleeping in this huge soft princess bed… Bloodkin-style decor… and your elegant manners!”
“Su Yue must’ve been raised by Brother Chen Yan since childhood… to be a Vampire Princess!”
