“Previously I also heard about her from Big Sis — she’s an incredibly impressive girl. A girl, oh!”
Su Xiao Zi deliberately emphasized the word “girl” twice.
However, both Su Xiaoxiao and Evran could tell — and naturally, Tina’s recognition ability didn’t need such an explanation either.
Seeing that no one showed much surprise, Su Xiao Zi ended up blushing herself.
What’s going on?
Why isn’t everyone surprised?
Could it be… that only I accidentally mistook Little Night for a boy?
After Butterfly Night followed Su Xiao Zi back to the living room, the moment she first laid eyes on the pair of crimson pupils belonging to Evran and Su Xiaoxiao,
the hand resting by the side of her trousers unconsciously twitched.
It was pure conditioned reflex —
whenever she saw crimson pupils, her body wanted to immediately draw the violin case weapon from her back.
Fortunately, she managed to restrain herself.
The two girls in front of her were indeed Bloodkin.
That aura couldn’t be mistaken.
Only… they seemed a little smaller in stature.
Although their bodies carried the unmistakable scent of blood,
there was also another, very unique feeling mixed in.
It was as if… they weren’t completely Bloodkin.
Evran, on the other hand, stared at Butterfly Night with naked hostility,
not relaxing even a fraction,
positioning herself squarely in front of Su Xiaoxiao,
looking as though she was ready to start a fight at any second.
Su Xiaoxiao stood behind her, quietly and repeatedly reminding her in a small voice:
“Don’t be impulsive.”
Su Xiao Zi quickly stepped between the two sides, sensing the atmosphere had become somewhat delicate,
and hurriedly tried to lighten the mood while introducing Butterfly Night:
“This girl’s name is Evran. Um… because the situation is a bit special, you might have heard about her from your sister — she’s a Bloodkin girl, but she’s our friend. She won’t hurt us.”
“And this one is my little sister, Su Xiaoxiao. Because of a Bloodkin’s First Embrace, she inherited the genes and also became a Bloodkin, and in doing so, she saved her own life. Of course, she has absolutely no hostility either. Please don’t worry.”
This was the first time Su Xiao Zi had ever introduced an Exterminator and a Bloodkin to each other.
How should she put it… it felt both novel and a little tense.
Su Xiao Zi’s gaze began to wander slightly.
After finally getting used to this strange new feeling,
she could only give a small, awkward smile,
saying nothing more,
quietly waiting for Butterfly Night’s response.
Butterfly Night was very obedient — she didn’t speak out of turn.
After all, she was naturally the obedient type.
Even though, to some extent, she had already begun to mature,
she still retained her original personality.
She only cast a slightly surprised glance at Su Xiao Zi,
then shifted her gaze to Su Xiaoxiao and Evran,
gave a polite nod,
and in a somewhat stiff tone, introduced herself:
“Hello.
My name is Butterfly Night.
My code name is also Butterfly Night.”
“Evran.”
“Su Xiaoxiao.”
The kind where people fight to the death.
Su Xiaoxiao silently added in her heart, terrified that the two of them might actually start fighting at any moment —
because judging from Evran’s side, she already looked extremely ferocious.
Butterfly Night nodded as if she half-understood,
her eyes remaining fixed on Evran the entire time,
until Su Xiaoxiao gently reminded her, snapping her out of it.
Only then did she hurriedly speak:
“Ah… very pleased to meet you both.
Although I am an Exterminator,
I’ve already grasped the basic situation here.
As long as the two of you do not become enemies,
I will not take the initiative to attack you — please rest assured on that point.”
“Who do you think you are?
You won’t take the initiative to attack us?
What an arrogant attitude.
If we really fight, I’m ready anytime.
I’m not going to be easily defeated by some little Exterminator.”
Evran was all sharp edges, like a powder keg about to explode,
her aura extremely fierce.
Even though the other party showed no obvious hostility,
her own attitude showed absolutely no sign of softening.
Su Xiaoxiao gently tugged at the hem of Evran’s clothes and spoke in a soft, coaxing voice:
“Isn’t that a bit too aggressive?
If the other side hasn’t shown hostility for now and has promised not to attack,
then maintaining a certain level of vigilance and distance should be enough, right?”
Evran glanced at Su Xiaoxiao from the corner of her eye,
took a deep breath,
and forced herself to calm down as much as possible.
“Fine.
Since Xiaoxiao says so…
but I’m definitely not going to lower my guard because of that.
Human Exterminator, listen well —
if you dare make any threatening move,
I will instantly reduce you to ashes without the slightest hesitation.
This is not a joke.
Please treasure your own life properly.”
Evran suddenly swung her arm.
The pink sleeve sliced through the air,
issuing an extremely强势 warning,
almost like a declaration of war.
In stark contrast,
Butterfly Night’s side remained completely calm,
showing no trace of being affected by the intense emotion.
Her gaze stayed locked on Evran the entire time —
it even seemed as though she hadn’t quite heard clearly what Evran had just said.
She only gave a slight, almost imperceptible nod,
then quietly followed Su Xiaoxiao out of the study.
From behind Evran, Su Xiaoxiao had seen everything clearly.
She realized that this S-rank Exterminator codenamed “Butterfly Night”
was unexpectedly steady and composed.
If it had been someone with a slightly more fiery personality,
they probably would have already started fighting after Evran’s earlier provocation.
Moreover… it seemed that earlier,
she had been completely unable to tear her eyes away from Evran.
Had she noticed something worth paying attention to?
After Butterfly Night entered the study and disappeared from Evran’s line of sight,
only then did her guarded stance finally relax slightly —
though her eyes remained sharp and fierce.
“Xiaoxiao, we need to be careful.
Even though we’re very strong,
the other party’s aura is not to be underestimated either.
If we really fight and aren’t careful, we might get hurt.
Once injured by an Exterminator’s power,
recovering would require a huge amount of blood and a very long time.”
“Because no matter what, she’s still an S-rank Exterminator.
But the way you just described her, she suddenly sounded like some random cola bottle lying around everywhere.”
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand and teased.
“Hmph.
In front of me, she’s nothing but a cola bottle —
the kind I can crush underfoot anytime.”
Evran raised her head proudly.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her,
fell silent for a moment,
and hesitated whether or not she should mention the thing she had noticed.
Moreover, Evran seemed completely unaware of it —
probably because the person involved is always the last to know, while bystanders see clearly.
“Um… Evran,
did you feel that… the way she was looking at you was a little different?”
“Hm? Because I’m Bloodkin, right?
Maybe she secretly still sees me as an enemy in her heart.
That’s why we have to stay cautious.”
“No, that’s not what I meant.
I mean… from the moment Butterfly Night walked in,
it seemed like she kept staring at you.
And that look… it wasn’t on purpose.”
“Then what was it?”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment,
then tried her best to explain using a few rather mushy adjectives:
“Pink… soft… warm… fluttery-fluttery…”
“What the heck is that?!”
“What I mean is…
is it possible that… she might have… taken a liking to you?
Like… a bit of admiration?
Love at first sight, that kind of thing?”
Su Xiaoxiao considered her observational skills to be quite sharp —
she shouldn’t be wrong about this.
It was exactly the feeling of a girl experiencing her first love,
suddenly encountering the person she likes by chance.
Evran had thought Su Xiaoxiao was about to say something profound.
After hearing this, she froze for a second, blinked,
then suddenly let out a huge, incredulous sound —
“HAH!?!?”
