25. It Has to Be That Chris Is Just Too

“Waaah, I can finally take a break!”

Back in her room, she sat down in her chair and, out of habit, turned on her computer.

It was all because she’d run into Xia Zhibai. She hadn’t played games in two whole days.

She’d happily gone to meet up with a cute older girl she’d met online, only to get intercepted on the way back. A pair of handcuffs around her wrists, and she’d been whisked home on the spot for a little “discipline.” At long last, she’d finally managed to placate Big Sis in peace.

Good thing she was delicate and soft, but could take...

Thanks to the Vampiress’s healing ability, all she had to do was focus on recovering and she’d be fine again. She wasn’t sure whether healing used up her blood-fullness, though, so she didn’t dare test it too much yet.

If it did, she’d be taking a huge loss in blood! Oh, wait—losing blood.

“Am I actually a little too weak?” Ruo Xiaoxi stared at the anime-girl wallpaper on her computer screen. Thinking about how feeble she was, she couldn’t help pondering the question.

This didn’t make sense. Hadn’t she become a vampire? She’d even asked Big Sis if becoming one would make her stronger than an ordinary person. Big Sis had said she could take on ten people without a problem.

Could she take on ten people in bed?

Somehow... being strong in certain ways like that would be kind of embarrassing.

There had to be a more respectable kind of strength, right?

She was the mighty Vampiress, yet so frail she couldn’t even break out of a pair of handcuffs. Worse, she couldn’t even escape Big Sis’s embrace. It really wasn’t that she didn’t want to get out. (She was sure of it.)

If she stayed this weak, she’d really become the older girls’ little plushie to cuddle!

“I can’t just keep coasting along and waiting to die. I’ve become a vampire, after all. I want to unleash some really awesome magic, too. Otherwise, what was the point of being embraced?” Once Ruo Xiaoxi had eaten her fill, she started mulling it over.

As Maslow’s hierarchy of needs puts it, once people have met their basic physiological and safety needs, they start thinking about higher-level goals and realizing their potential.

As it turned out, the Vampiress was no exception.

“Vampire.” Ruo Xiaoxi murmured the word, and her eyes instantly changed from their usual pale green to blood red. She looked at her red eyes in a little mirror and thought they gave her a rather noble air.

“Human.” She murmured that word, too, and her eyes immediately returned to their original color.

“Hehe, vampire!” Suddenly, she thought it was kind of fun. She kept switching between the two words, her eyes changing back and forth like a pair of flashing lights.

But in the end, she made herself dizzy and flopped to the floor with a “Waaah!”

As she stared at the ceiling, she knew perfectly well that changing her eye color did absolutely nothing in practice.

“Shouldn’t I have some kind of servant, too? Why aren’t there any little bats flying around me?” Ruo Xiaoxi raised a hand and tried to summon something, but nothing happened.

Okay. Got it.

Chris must be too weak!

Chris didn’t look very bright, and she was so tiny, too. Vampires in novels could top themselves up with blood bags, so why did Chris have to drink fresh blood for it to work?

Mystery solved: Chris was just too weak! That was why there were so many rules and restrictions. And because she was so weak, after she gave Ruo Xiaoxi the vampire’s embrace, Ruo Xiaoxi had turned into Weak Xiaoxi, too.

“Never mind. It’s not like I can complain about it. Maybe she has it rough, too.” Ruo Xiaoxi figured that if she was this weak, then Chris must be working hard to get by in her own world.

Maybe she even made time to visit her because she was trying her best to do her duty as an older sister.

Thinking about it that way, Ruo Xiaoxi managed to move herself to tears. Chris seemed kind of pitiful now, too.

Waaah, we’re such a tragic pair of sisters.

They had to find a way to support each other and survive. (She was already lost in some kind of tragic fantasy.)

“Why not come fishing for older girls with me? I’ll act cute, and you can offer your body. We’ll split the take forty-sixty—I get forty, you get sixty—and work together on a green, sustainable plan to keep our stomachs full.”

Mm-hmm. Plan set.

Clang!

Just as Ruo Xiaoxi was gloomily rolling around on the floor, she accidentally bumped into the bookshelf. An old-looking book suddenly fell from the shelf and dumped a faceful of dust on her.

“What’s this?” Ruo Xiaoxi picked up the book, lay back down, and opened it with both hands.

It was full of writing she couldn’t understand. Now she remembered: some of the books on her shelf had been brought over by Chris. Whenever Chris visited, she’d occasionally bring one or two books like this. Ruo Xiaoxi had no idea what ancient script they were written in.

She knew a thing or two about the cuneiform on the Code of Hammurabi, but the writing on this page looked like it hadn’t even been invented in this world. It didn’t follow any recognizable principle of how writing was formed.

“I can’t read this, I can’t read this...” Ruo Xiaoxi kept kicking her little white-stockinged feet in frustration.

Forget it. Studying this with no background at all was less practical than getting something to eat. She’d go back to charming older girls and be an elegant, dignified, delicate, well-mannered Little Green Tea.

Who knew when this heart-stealing arsonist would finally be brought to justice? When she was in love, she was devoted with all her heart. Once she’d eaten her fill, she’d hike up her skirt and start thinking about which cute girl’s place she could freeload at tomorrow.

Not even a Master Ball could catch this Little Green Tea.

“Maybe I’ll play a game for a while first...”

Ruo Xiaoxi got to her feet and gave her round, pert little butt a wiggle, letting her skirt drop. Xia Zhibai had spanked her butt red, too. Big Sis without her restraints was just...

T-too wild...

Ugh... Next time, she’d just try to lure her in with a look.

Hmph, no, wait. What do you mean, “lure her in”? She was just making Big Sis like her more! What was wrong with wanting Big Sis to love her? Sob, sob. (Pretending to be pitiful.)

Ruo Xiaoxi declared her outrageous take without a trace of guilt.

She turned on the air conditioner, enjoying the cool, fresh air as she was about to sit back down and start playing an online game. But just as she went to put the hard-to-understand book back on the shelf, a small piece of paper suddenly slipped out.

“Hm? What fell out?”

Ruo Xiaoxi’s rosy little heel stepped on a piece of paper, and she was just about to turn around.

Suddenly, her foot slipped. She crashed to the floor with a terrible thud, taking the chair down with her. Its wheels kept spinning round and round.

A glance into Ruo Xiaoxi’s room revealed nothing but one tempting little white-stockinged foot hanging over the edge of the bed.
