Join the Server“Shimo…”
Su Yuan gazed at that face, her heartbeat quickening involuntarily.
She reached out, intending to straighten the other’s clothes.
But the moment her fingertips touched that warm skin, they moved on their own…
“I want her… I want to devour her completely…!!”
The desire suppressed in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
Su Yuan could hear her own breathing quickening, her cheeks beginning to burn.
If she had never tasted Bai Shimo before, it might have been bearable—but once tasted, that sweetness became utterly irresistible.
On top of that, yesterday’s mana intake hadn’t been quite sufficient, and now Su Yuan was feeling ravenous.
She slowly climbed onto the bed, pressing her hand against Bai Shimo’s smooth shoulder, and gently straddled her.
Bai Shimo was still fast asleep.
Su Yuan prayed she wouldn’t wake up at a time like this.
Just one little taste.
She really would only take one little taste.
Her soft tail extended from beneath her.
Her fingertips brushed against Bai Shimo’s lips, gently parting them.
Then, she leaned down and kissed her.
“Mmn…”
This scent was so sweet.
She loved it.
Sure enough, only this primitive method could extract the purest mana!
Indeed, the mana produced by Bai Shimo’s body was far more satisfying than mere emotional energy!
Su Yuan’s legs grew weak from the kiss, yet she still couldn’t bear to pull away.
Should she go further?
Should she?
Should she?
Her mind was in a frantic struggle, but her hands still moved uncontrollably toward Bai Shimo’s collar, wanting to remove the last barrier.
But unexpectedly, all of a sudden—
“Wah—”
Her playful little tail was caught by a hand!
Su Yuan, who had been lost in the sweet intoxication, snapped back to reality in an instant.
She cautiously wiggled her tail.
But that hand held on firmly, refusing to let go—as if determined to keep her trapped.
“Sh-Shimo…”
Su Yuan began to panic, frantically studying Bai Shimo’s face, trying to confirm whether she was still asleep.
But Bai Shimo’s eyes remained closed, her breathing steady.
Could it be… she was sleepwalking?
In her moment of daze, she was suddenly yanked down by an incredible force, her whole body sinking into the soft mattress.
Bai Shimo’s eyes were still closed, her expression drowsy—but her strength was astonishing.
Su Yuan was frozen in terror.
“Wait… Shimo, wait…”
The bow on her chest had already been pulled loose.
No, no, no!
If she were in her succubus form, it might be one thing—but right now, they were just ordinary friends!
If Bai Shimo suddenly woke up and found her doing this, how could they ever face each other again?
Their friendship would sink on the spot.
But Su Yuan didn’t dare resist forcefully.
She could only lie there stiffly, letting Bai Shimo move about her as she pleased.
“Ngh…”
The little succubus’s cheeks burned hot.
She bit her lower lip hard, small pearls of tears forming at the corners of her eyes.
Seeing Bai Shimo’s hands moving—
She even squeezed her eyes shut and covered her mouth with her hand, terrified of making a sound that might wake her.
“Mmn… hah…”
***
It was a long while before Bai Shimo slowly emerged from her hazy sleep.
The moment she opened her eyes, she was met with Su Yuan’s flushed, embarrassed, and slightly indignant face.
She jolted in surprise, instinctively letting go and pulling back.
Her gaze swept over Su Yuan’s disheveled clothes—and her breath caught.
“It shouldn’t have been just a dream…
Why… why did I actually do that to you…”
She covered her mouth in disbelief, her fingers trembling.
That had only been a dream—so why was Xiao Yuan really here beside her?
Su Yuan stared at her, suddenly reading something in her panicked eyes.
She jerked back, her voice tight: “Shimo… what exactly did you dream about?”
“N-nothing!
It was just a dream—I couldn’t control it…”
Bai Shimo scrambled to sit up, covering her burning cheeks with both hands, turning away in shame.
“Ahh… what have I done…
“I’m sorry, Xiao Yuan, I really didn’t mean to—I just…!”
Recalling the dream that made her toes curl with embarrassment, Bai Shimo wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
In the dream, she had seen Su Yuan wearing Miss Succubus’s clothes, standing before her with a captivating gaze—both adorable and alluring.
At that moment, all the pent-up love in Bai Shimo’s heart burst like a dam, and she had pounced on her for some “cuddling.”
But she never expected that in reality, she would actually…
“Xiao Yuan, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!
Please don’t be mad at me…”
She could only apologize frantically.
Su Yuan was equally embarrassed, waving her hands and shaking her head: “It’s okay… it was just a dream—can’t be helped…”
Though she said that to comfort her, for some reason, Su Yuan felt something was off about her own body—that lingering, numbing aftertaste refused to fade and even made her feel a little reluctant to let go.
And at the same time, Bai Shimo also keenly sensed that strange flutter in her heart.
Why had she dreamed about Su Yuan—a dream like that?
No—more precisely, why did she feel this way about Su Yuan?
The uncontrollably quickening heartbeat, the fantasies of getting even closer…
And that growing desire to know more and more about Xiao Yuan.
“Could it be… that I’ve fallen for Xiao Yuan?”
Bai Shimo suddenly covered her mouth.
But once that thought surfaced, she couldn’t push it back down.
She had to face her own feelings.
She admitted that she had always felt something in Su Yuan’s aura was similar to Miss Succubus’s—but she had never once considered using her most important friend as a rebound.
Xiao Yuan was Xiao Yuan.
Unique, irreplaceable.
Right now, the two of them hadn’t spent enough time together.
Before she could be sure of her own feelings, she needed to understand Xiao Yuan more.
With that thought, she lifted her head.
“Ahem… let’s just pretend today never happened.
I’ll go make you something to eat.”
Su Yuan was about to head out—but before she could take a step, her hand was grabbed by Bai Shimo.
“Xiao Yuan, wait—there’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you…”
Su Yuan froze at the doorway, her expression stiff, not daring to turn around.
Behind her, Bai Shimo’s questions came through, clear and deliberate.
“Xiao Yuan, you come over to my place every day to cook—doesn’t that worry your parents?
Or do you not live with them?”
“I’ve never heard you mention them… is it because you’re not close?”
“Oh, and—Xiao Yuan, where do you live?
You always come to my place, but I’ve never visited yours.”
“Could you take me to see your place sometime?”
Bai Shimo’s voice was gentle, each question no more than the caring concern of a good friend.
But for Su Yuan—
They felt like interrogations that struck at her very soul.
