Chapter 45: Imaginary Space

Nighttime, at home.

“You need my blood?”

“Don’t worry, your body’s already flowing with my blood.
I can erase the mark on your neck in an instant~ No scars will be left.”
Evran said with a smile.

Is that so?
Since she was now a Bloodkin too, if Evran needed to feed on her blood, then so be it.

If Su Xiaoxiao were still human, she’d never have allowed Evran’s request to feed.

And when Bloodkin fed, Evran became especially assertive.
Once she tasted blood, her eyes would glow a deeper crimson, like a blood moon, shimmering with an eerie light.

Not only that, Su Xiaoxiao could faintly sense a chill radiating from Evran, as if a pair of black, flame-wreathed wings had appeared behind her.

Her luscious lips, stained with fresh blood, curled into a satisfied, ghostly smile, exuding the majestic aura of a noble Bloodkin as she pinned Su Xiaoxiao firmly beneath her.

“How laughable.
Here I am, lying on the floor, having my blood taken by a Bloodkin.”

“Don’t say it like that, Your Excellency Flash~
Oh, no, Su Xiaoxiao~
We’re on the same side now, aren’t we?
You said it yourself—as my kin, if we’re to fight against other Bloodkin, you’ll be my blade.”

“Mm.”
Su Xiaoxiao responded calmly.

She lay flat on the floor, her face tense as she endured the pain.
Her knees pressed tightly together, interlocked with Evran’s legs, occasionally rising uncontrollably.

The two girls’ fair thighs brushed lightly against each other.

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head back, eyes closed, clenching her silver teeth.
Her small hands gripped the bedsheet by the edge, a trickle of crimson blood flowing gracefully from her pale, jade-like neck, trailing along her collarbone.

“What about me?
As a Bloodkin, don’t I need to feed on blood too?”

“The time hasn’t come yet.
You’re still in a half-human, half-Bloodkin state…
I’m not sure why, but the only explanation is that your former extermination powers were just too strong.”

After feeding, Evran released her bite on Su Xiaoxiao’s tender neck, wiping the blood from her lips with a finger, her expression one of exhilaration, as if savoring a delight.

A girl’s blood was, as expected, so much sweeter~

Drinking too much felt like her head was spinning from all the sugar.

But, miraculously, as Evran had said, no mark remained on Su Xiaoxiao’s pristine neck.
The wound vanished almost instantly.

“Is it over?
Then I’ll go deal with my schoolwork.
Though, this desk and chair are a bit too high for me now.
I’ll need a cushion under my butt.”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed quietly in her heart, getting up from the cold floor.

“Why not sit on my lap?
I’d be thrilled to hold you, and you could use me as a cushion.”

“Then I wouldn’t be able to focus on my homework.
You’d start getting handsy.”

This girl was definitely scheming something again—better spare her the chance.

Su Xiaoxiao blew at the lock of hair on her forehead, her ahoge drooping reluctantly.
She stood, touched her neck, pulled out the chair, and started reading her book.

As usual, Evran sat on the big bed, picking up Su Xiaoxiao’s tablet to play an adult visual novel.

Whenever she had nothing to do, she’d grab Su Xiaoxiao’s phone to play games.
She’d already secretly watched more than half of the terabytes of adult anime stored on the computer.

“Eh~ Is this girl the heroine?
So cute!
Alright, you’re the one I’m pursuing.”

Evran lay on her back, staring at the tablet screen, muttering to herself.
Lately, she’d stopped hiding in the shadows, acting as comfortable as if she were in her own home.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t mind too much.

She just reminded her not to appear in front of her sister.

Out of the blue, Evran set down the tablet, turned off the screen, and rolled onto her side.
Propping herself up on a pillow, she faced Su Xiaoxiao’s desk and said, “By the way, are you really okay with not going tonight?”

“Going where?”

“At midnight tonight, the humans are definitely opening the Imaginary Space.”

Suddenly, the pen in Su Xiaoxiao’s hand froze at the end of a line.
She turned her head to look at Evran.

“—What did you say?”
