Volume 4 Chapter 54

Volume 4 + Chapter 54: Bad Woman

“Bad woman, wh-what are you going to do to me?!” Xia Yi cried out in alarm.

Elizabeth revealed a meaningful smile. “Xia Yiyi, this is, of course, the moment everyone has been waiting for~”

The little dragon loli was now entangled by the vines of the rose monsters.

Those vines were quite restless, moving about everywhere, making Xia Yi feel extremely uncomfortable.

She didn’t even dare to imagine what would happen next.

“Bad woman, stop spouting nonsense here! What ‘everyone has been waiting for’? No one here is looking forward to what comes next!!” Xia Yi was truly frantic.

Dragon power!

Dragon power!

DRAGON POWER, AAAAAH!!

However, she still couldn’t break free from the rose monsters’ vines.

Even if she strained with all her might and snapped a few, new vines would immediately replace them.

Countless vines writhed before Xia Yi, almost like a nest of serpents, surrounding her completely.

“What on earth are these things?!”

Elizabeth gently placed her hand on one of the rose monsters, seemingly enjoying herself as she explained, “Xia Yiyi, these were originally plants from the rose garden. Just now, while you weren’t paying attention, I secretly infused them with my own blood to dominate them. This allows these plants, under my control, to briefly become monsters capable of movement.”

“These… are all under your control?”

“That’s right,” Elizabeth nodded. “In other words, every rose monster is governed by my consciousness, acting as extensions of my body. Those vines are practically equivalent to my tentacles.”

“Nonsense… utter nonsense!”

Xia Yi’s protest already sounded somewhat lacking in confidence.

“Don’t believe me? Then, Xia Yiyi, let me demonstrate for you~”

True to her playful nature, Elizabeth mischievously formed a heart shape with her hands towards Xia Yi, who was suspended by the vines.

Following that, two vines swayed before Xia Yi’s eyes and, just like Elizabeth’s gesture, also formed a heart shape.

It truly was as Elizabeth said—these were indeed her tentacles.

Seeing this, Xia Yi’s face turned ashen. “What exactly is your goal?!”

“Didn’t I say it earlier? I want Xia Yiyi to be my exclusive little blood bag. Since Xia Yiyi isn’t willing to cooperate, I have no choice but to employ some… compulsory measures.”

“If you want to suck blood, then suck blood! What’s with all this setup? This has absolutely nothing to do with sucking blood!” Xia Yi challenged.

Elizabeth spread her hands, feigning helplessness. “Oh, Xia Yiyi, a blood bag’s emotional state affects the flavor of the blood. Right now, I’m just making you more ‘delicious.’”

“That’s a fallacy! There’s no such saying!”

“Oh, but there is. For example, I’ve heard that in the human world, butchers play soothing music for livestock before slaughter to make their meat more tender and flavorful. There’s a basis for this, it’s not without reason.”

“Then why don’t you play some music instead of doing these outrageous things?”

“Sucking blood is different from those practices. The flavor of blood improves significantly when the blood bag is in a shy, flustered state,” Elizabeth said, growing rather eager. “So next, it’s time to make Xia Yiyi feel shy and flustered.”

“This…”

A terrible foreboding welled up in Xia Yi’s heart.

“Eek… mmm!”

Suddenly, a faint, ambiguous moan escaped from the silver-haired loli’s lips.

She felt a vine press tightly against her leg, then slide downward, probing into the gap between her heel and her high-heeled shoe.

Inside the space between her small, jade-like foot and the shoe, there was now a vine.

The sensation under her sole made Xia Yi feel utterly ill at ease.

“Stop! Stop it right now!!”

Plop~

Xia Yi’s high-heeled shoe was squeezed off from mid-air and fell to the ground.

She bit her lip, her face flushed crimson with embarrassment, steam practically about to rise from her head.

Seeing Xia Yi’s reaction only made Elizabeth’s mood even more delighted. She even teased, “Xia Yiyi’s feet are so small, so soft, so fragrant…”

Just this situation alone was almost more than Xia Yi could bear.

If the bad woman before her continued her mischief… it would absolutely be unbearable!

Putting on an ultra-fierce expression, Xia Yi glared fiercely at Elizabeth and said, “Bad woman, you’ll definitely regret doing this kind of thing!!”

“Regret? Why?”

Elizabeth blinked her eyes curiously.

“Have you forgotten what my identity is?!”

“Xia Yiyi’s identity…”

Elizabeth fell into thought for a moment, as if searching through her memories.

“I remember now.”

“Hmph, now you know regret, don’t you?!”

Xia Yi intended to use her status as the Dragon Princess to intimidate Elizabeth first.

“You are the Holy Sword Wielder.”

“Ah… I, I…” Xia Yi was at a loss for words.

“Hmm? Isn’t that right?” Elizabeth retorted. “You were once the Human Sword Saint, weren’t you? Are you going to deny that now?”

“That… is indeed true…! I am the steadfast and unyielding Sword Saint!!”

Xia Yi braced herself and continued, temporarily setting aside her noble, unyielding Sword Saint soul for the moment.

“But, I have another identity now! Right now, I am—the Silver Dragon Princess!!”

“Oh my?”

“Bad woman, do you think our Dragon Clan will let you get away with doing such things? I am the heir to the Dragon Royal Family! Your attempt to imprison me is undoubtedly a provocation against the Dragon Clan. This is ample reason for the Dragon Clan to declare war on the Vampire Clan!”

“…”

Elizabeth fell silent.

Thinking it was working, Xia Yi pressed on: “When that time comes, the flames of war will ignite. Can the Vampire Clan bear the burden of war?”

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t care,” Elizabeth replied nonchalantly.

“…”

This time, it was Xia Yi’s turn to be silent.

Elizabeth was truly unreasonable. Didn’t she consider the consequences of her actions?

It’s over… she might really fall into the hands of this bad woman…

“Alright, Xia Yiyi, let me continue to see just how flustered you can become.”

Elizabeth’s gaze filled with anticipation as she raised her hand and began manipulating the rose monsters once more.

Many more vines drew near.

Xia Yi closed her eyes, thinking she was about to meet her doom.

Right at that moment—

Swish!!

A flash of white light severed all the vines entangling Xia Yi and repelled the ones approaching.

She began to fall.

Sensing the change, Xia Yi opened her eyes and saw a figure descending from above, catching her in mid-air.

Upon clearly seeing who it was, a look of delighted surprise appeared on the little princess’s face.

“It’s you!!”
