Chapter 27: Namira’s Fury

“Waaahhh… Perverted Sword Immortal, you’re so mean! Just because of such a selfish reason, you’d lay your hands on your life-saving benefactor…”

“Who told you you’re so cute~ Hehe, I got you!”

“Waaah!”

No human had ever touched Lingling Lan’s tentacles before,
So even she didn’t know how incredibly sensitive they were.
Just a light touch
Sent a wave of tingling numbness rushing through her entire body,
Making her whole frame tense and lift involuntarily.

Her delicate body shuddered,
Lingling Lan unconsciously gripped the blanket tighter,
Her pink toes curling against the mattress.

“Stinky Sword Immortal, you actually… touched me… uuuh…”

Just as Lingling Lan was about to protest,
Xinghui pressed her down.
She intended to scream,
But Xinghui had already pressed close.
In an instant, her strength deflated like a popped balloon,
Her body going limp in the sweet embrace.

“Xinghui! You… let… go…”

Blushing from the kisses,
Lingling Lan desperately wanted to stand up and kick this shameless fiend.
But even sitting up was a struggle,
Let alone having her ear nibbled by this perverted Sword Immortal.
Helpless, she could only try covering her mouth
So that the sounds she made wouldn’t sound so… suggestive.

Why is my body like this…
Merely having her snake-like tongue glide from my neck to my earlobe,
Followed by a few gentle nibbles…
And now I’m already numb and unable to move…

If a human beautiful girl bites you,
Do you get infected with Beautiful Girl Disease?
Though there was no pain at all,
The sensation of her warm touch… wrapping me so intimately…
Made me feel strangely… tingly.

I must hold onto my last shred of dignity…

Mother… Namira-nee-sama…
Someone… please save me…
Your daughter and little sister
Are about to be toyed with by a perverted Sword Immortal…

“How about it, Xingling…
Oh no, Lingling Lan-sama?
If you beg, I might just let you go now.”

I’ve really been reduced to a helpless little weakling…
No way…
I absolutely cannot yield to such a shameless woman!
Begging would only make her toy with me more,
Label me too cute not to bully for some ridiculous reason!

No, I choose to resist!

“Aha… you bastard…
Actually weng me…
Waaahhh…”

Satisfied, Xinghui tilted her head playfully,
Feigning ignorance of Lingling Lan’s pitiful complaints.
She licked the lingering lily of the valley fragrance off her lips,
Carefully savoring Lingling Lan’s sweetness.

“So any pleas from now on won’t count.”

“Waaahhh!
If you want me to cry, I’ll cry right in front of you!
Waaahhhhhh!!!
You pervert!
To fondle an innocent little girl who’s never done anything wrong like me…
You must be the world’s worst kitchen saint!”

Lingling Lan cried out,
Her tears streaming like pear blossoms in the rain,
Her appearance evoking pity from anyone who saw.

“Don’t think…
I’ll ever submit…
If you’re so shameless as to want me,
Then I’ll keep crying just for you!”

In Lingling Lan’s voice, laced with both petulance and softness,
Xinghui sensed the anger, shame, and unwillingness buried deep in her heart.
That heart was as fragile and sweet as a chocolate shell, bitter on the outside, soft within.

She realized…
What she was doing was indeed excessive.

Beyond what a Sword Immortal should allow herself to do.

After all,
Aside from her identity,
Lingling Lan was just an ordinary little girl.

Doing such despicable things to her…
Even a shameless Sword Immortal should feel a twinge of shame.
Let alone making her sob pitifully like this…
That crying posture could break anyone’s heart.

“I-I didn’t mean to make you cry…”

“I’m deeply sorry…
I just…
Wanted to make you a little happier…”

What kind of perverted excuse is that!
How could this possibly count as making someone happy after causing this much crying?!

That ridiculous excuse only made her seem more shameless…

No matter what,
It couldn’t hide the fact that Xinghui was a big pervert…

A Sword Immortal,
Yet the kind to prey on the weak.

But, since Xinghui wasn’t officially a Sword Immortal yet,
Trying her best to fix the wrong she committed seemed only natural.

In other words,
Everything she was doing now
Was for the sake of her and Lingling Lan’s happiness.

I’m sorry, Lingling Lan-sama.

Please forgive me for this transgression…

“I’m… really, really sorry, Xingling…”

“Hmph!”

Lingling Lan cried harder,
Her emerald eyes glimmering coldly.
But as if unwilling to let Xinghui see,
She naturally turned her face aside.
Only a pouty expression remained,
As small pearl-like tears slid down her cheeks one by one.

“You’re sick in the head!
After slapping my face, you think giving me candy will make me easy to coax…
Eh, perverted Sword Immortal, why are you getting so close?!”

I’m truly sorry.

To control this small white-haired, green-eyed loli,
Then deceive myself it was for her own good…

It was like a passing shadow,
Committing evil against Lingling Lan just like that…

Lingling Lan’s brain went completely blank.
This near-sudden friendly interaction left her barely aware of what had just happened…

***

Meanwhile, near Lingling Lan’s residence in Peace City Ita.

A dusty, wind-worn girl appeared at the entrance of the apartment building where Lingling Lan lived.

She had dreamy purple medium-short hair, tied in a cute ponytail.
Her eyes—one purple, one red—hinted at an extraordinary identity.

She lifted her black-and-white maid dress
And carefully ascended the narrow, cramped staircase,
Avoiding the long-aged stains and crumbling wall plaster.

I can’t believe my little sister Ling’er actually lives in such a filthy place…
She excitedly told me last time
That her human society residence was a luxurious mansion…

Why does Ling’er always refuse to let me worry about her…

Namira, fourth daughter of Nyara and Lingling Lan’s fourth elder sister,
Held a broom and lightly swept away the dust from the steps
While sighing softly.

After unlocking the door,
What greeted her eyes was utter coldness.
Lingling Lan seemed to not be home.

It was already late.
Why hadn’t she come home yet?
Did she run into trouble?

As her closest family member,
Namira felt it necessary to check on Lingling Lan’s current situation.

Although she usually gave Lingling Lan ample personal space out of love,
Her urgent care now completely dominated her thoughts.
It was time to activate the hidden function of the Communication Gem —
Three-dimensional Image Communication.

“Ling’er, please be safe…”

Slowly, the signal sharpened,
And the image gradually materialized.

“Stupid perverted Sword Immortal!
Don’t come near me!
I won’t ever submit to you!”

“Aaah!!!
How dare you really…”

“Harm an innocent little girl like me…”

W-What?!!!

Ling’er had been… molested by an unknown girl…

This, this…
The youngest and dearest little sister
Had actually been…
Subjected to such vile acts by a human…

Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!

Namira crushed the Communication Gem in her hand.
Purple flames blazed from the shattered remnants.

A powerful magic force spread through the room,
Her crimson right eye now burning with flames.

“Hold on, Ling’er… Big sister is coming…”

“To save you…”
