Volume 5 Chapter 143

Volume 5 + Chapter 143: The Hostile Little Flying Mouse

“Hi~ did you miss me~?”

The moment she heard that voice, Xia Yi’s heart jolted violently, goosebumps rising all over her body.

She was reminded of someone from the past.

Someone who had once pinned her down, treated her like a little blood bag, and bitten her again and again, a truly troublesome woman, 

Xia Yi turned around and saw a silver-haired, red-eyed vampire girl smiling at her.

“Oh my, it’s been so long, my adorable little blood bag~”

“Elisabeth?!”

Xia Yi reacted instantly, her hand lit up with the mark of the Holy Sword, ready to summon it and strike.

That completely startled the vampire girl. “Xia Yi! Don’t panic, it’s me!!”

“Hm?”

“I’m Miu Miu, not Elisabeth!” she hurriedly explained. “I was just joking, pretending to be her.”

“…Honestly.”

Xia Yi was speechless.

She let out a sigh of relief, dispelling the Holy Sword mark and canceling the summon.

Though thinking about it, Miu Miu had once been killed by Elisabeth, yet she still imitated her for a prank. That was a bit of dark humor.

For a split second, Xia Yi had genuinely thought Elisabeth had somehow come back again.

“Squeak squeak!”

Little Black circled happily around Xia Yi and Miu Miu.

“So this was your doing?”

Xia Yi glanced at the surroundings, especially the pitch-black night outside the window.

“Yep! First a tiny scare for Xia Yi, then a big surprise!”

“Where’s the surprise?”

“The surprise is right here!”

Miu Miu spread her arms in front of Xia Yi, as if inviting the silver-haired dragon girl into an embrace.

“You can cuddle me as much as you like, come on, Xia Yi~”

“…Uh.”

After hearing that, Xia Yi immediately lost interest.

“Xia Yi, how can you show such disappointment? That really hurts a girl’s feelings. Am I not cute enough?” Miu Miu protested confidently. “We’re both white-haired, and white fluffy girls should stick together!”

“What kind of strange logic is that… By the way, is this your domain?” Xia Yi asked curiously. “It kind of feels like one.”

“…Hmm.”

This time, Miu Miu was the one left speechless.

Why did Xia Yi seem completely uninterested?

Or maybe dealing with someone as dense as Xia Yi required a more direct approach?

Forget subtlety, just go straight for it… No, no, that would be just like Elisabeth.

She wasn’t that kind of person.

“Miu Miu, your strength has grown quickly,” Xia Yi remarked. “Especially after becoming the Vampire Queen, you’ve improved by leaps and bounds.”

“Of course! This body has already been developed before,” Miu Miu said proudly. “I haven’t fully mastered my domain yet, but I’ve reached the threshold. It won’t be long before I control it completely and step into a whole new realm. When that happens, Xia Yi, you’d better watch out~”

She smiled meaningfully.

“You want to bully me?” Xia Yi blinked.

“More or less. Someone with your personality deserves to be bullied properly, otherwise you’ll never learn your place.”

“That might not be so easy,” Xia Yi replied with a mysterious smile.

Should she tell Miu Miu she had already broken through to the fifth tier and mastered the Dragon King Domain?

Nah.

It would be more fun to let Miu Miu come at her first, then pretend to struggle, let her get cocky, and just when she thought she’d won… unleash the Dragon King Domain and turn the tables in a dramatic reversal.

Then she could properly bully the defeated Miu Miu.

That would be quite satisfying.

“You’re here for the coronation of the new Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, right?” Miu Miu asked.

“Yes. The little fox invited me personally,” Xia Yi admitted.

“What an enviable nickname, calling that fox spirit ‘little fox’~~”

Miu Miu’s tone shifted noticeably.

“Looks like Xia Yi has been completely charmed by the foxes of Fox Hill.”

Xia Yi wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but the air seemed faintly… sour?

“Why don’t I have a cute nickname like that…”

“You do. You’re ‘Flying Mouse,’ Miu Miu.”

“Flying mouse?!” Miu Miu looked aggrieved. “Why ‘flying mouse’? Can’t it be something cuter?”

“It’s exactly what it sounds like, a mouse that can fly. That’s adorable,” Xia Yi said, thinking of the little hamsters she kept in her garden.

“I’m not a mouse! Bats are bats, mice are mice!!” Miu Miu insisted.

But in Xia Yi’s eyes… They looked pretty similar.

“So now you’re playing favorites too. Hmph. That fox spirit, when I get the chance, I’ll teach her a lesson…” the “flying mouse” muttered under her breath.

Xia Yi couldn’t understand why Miu Miu held such strong hostility toward Yue Liu.

Was the relationship between vampires and foxes really that bad?

Or was it some natural instinct, like bats being inherently repelled by foxes?

“It’s almost time. Let’s head back to the hall, we’ll be late otherwise.”

Xia Yi checked the time the coronation was about to begin.

But just as she was about to leave, Miu Miu grabbed her wrist.

“…Xia Yi.”

Miu Miu looked at her, her expression turning suggestive, her eyes growing hazy.

“If you want to chat, we can wait, ” Xia Yi began.

“This isn’t chatting,” Miu Miu interrupted. “Do you know why I came to find you alone? Because I can’t hold it in anymore.”

She grabbed Xia Yi’s shoulders and gently but firmly pushed her back against the wall.

Their bodies pressed close together.

At that moment, the vampire girl’s rationality was fading, overtaken by instinct.

“My heart is filled with impulses I can’t suppress.”

Though her words sounded ambiguous, Xia Yi understood this was bloodlust. Miu Miu desperately needed to feed.

“Now? Here?” Xia Yi hesitated. “In a place like this… isn’t that a bit…”

“It’s hard to resist the urge to drink your blood. There’s no time to waste… As for being seen, that can’t be helped.”

Miu Miu took Xia Yi’s hand, holding her slender fingers and slowly lifting them to her lips.

“You have to take responsibility, Xia Yi… and satisfy me properly…”
