25. Chris Must Be Too Weak!
“Ahh, finally, some peace and quiet!”
Back in her room, Ruo Xiaoxi settled into her chair and habitually turned on her computer.
Thanks to Xia Zhibai, she hadn’t played games in two days.
She had gone out happily to meet her online friend, only to be intercepted on the way back, handcuffed, and dragged home for a “lesson.” Now, she had finally managed to appease the older sister.
Thankfully, she was delicate but durable…
Due to her vampire healing abilities, she could recover quickly with just a little conscious effort. She wasn’t sure if healing consumed her blood reserves, though, so she didn’t dare experiment too much.
If it did, she would be at a real loss! Or rather, a loss of blood.
“Am I… too weak?” Ruo Xiaoxi stared at the anime girl wallpaper on her computer screen, thinking about her lack of physical strength.
Something wasn’t right. She was a vampire now, wasn’t she? She had asked her sister if vampires were stronger than humans, and Chris had said she could take on ten at once.
Did she mean ten in bed?
The thought of being that kind of strong was a little embarrassing.
There had to be a more conventional kind of strength, right?
She was a vampire princess, yet she was so weak she couldn’t even break free from a pair of handcuffs. Even worse, she couldn’t escape her older sister’s embrace. And it wasn’t for lack of trying (definitely).
If she was too weak, she would really become a plaything for older sisters!
“I can’t just laze around and live off others. I’m a vampire now; I want to use cool magic! Otherwise, what was the point of being embraced…?” Ruo Xiaoxi pondered, now that she was full.
As Maslow’s hierarchy of needs stated, once basic physiological and safety needs were met, people would strive for self-actualization.
Apparently, the same applied to vampire princesses.
“Vampire,” Ruo Xiaoxi whispered, her eyes instantly shifting from their usual light green to crimson. Looking at her reflection in the small mirror, she felt a sense of noble aura.
“Human,” she murmured, and her eyes returned to their normal color.
“Hee hee, vampire!” Finding it amusing, she kept switching between the two words, her eyes flashing like lights.
But she ended up making herself dizzy and collapsed onto the floor with a thud.
Staring at the ceiling, she knew the eye color change was completely useless.
“Shouldn’t I have some familiars or something? Why aren’t there little bats flying around me?” Ruo Xiaoxi raised her hand, trying to summon something, but nothing happened.
Right, I get it.
Chris must be too weak!
Chris didn’t seem very bright, and she was so small. Vampires in novels could drink blood from blood bags. Why did Chris need fresh blood?
Mystery solved: Chris is too weak! That’s why there were so many limitations. And because she was weak, after embracing Ruo Xiaoxi, she became Weak Xiaoxi.
“Oh well, complaining won’t help. She’s probably struggling too,” Ruo Xiaoxi thought. If she was this weak, Chris must be working hard to survive in her own world.
And she still made time to visit her; she was probably trying her best to fulfill her sisterly duties.
Thinking about this, Ruo Xiaoxi felt a surge of emotion, pitying Chris.
Wuwuwu, we’re such a pathetic pair of sisters.
We need to find a way to support each other (already immersed in a tragic fantasy).
Come on, let’s go fishing for older sisters together. I’ll be in charge of acting cute, you can be in charge of… other things. We’ll split the profits 40/60, my 40, your 60. A green and sustainable plan for a full belly.
Yes, perfect plan.
Thud!
As Ruo Xiaoxi rolled around on the floor, she accidentally bumped into the bookshelf, and an ancient-looking book fell on her face, covering her in dust.
“What the…?” Ruo Xiaoxi picked up the book, lying on the floor and flipping through it.
It was filled with unintelligible text. She remembered now; some of the books on her shelf were from Chris. Every time she visited, she would bring a book or two with similar strange writing.
She could decipher some of the cuneiform from the Code of Hammurabi, but these symbols looked like they weren’t even from this world, with no discernible logic behind them.
“I can’t understand it, I can’t understand it…” Ruo Xiaoxi kicked her feet in frustration.
Forget it, trying to decipher this without any background knowledge was less productive than getting food. She would continue to charm older sisters, being a graceful, elegant, charming, and cultured little green tea.
She wondered when this heartbreaker of young ladies would be brought to justice. Falling head over heels in love while dating, then, after a full meal, thinking about which older sister’s house to visit next for another free meal.
Even a Master Ball couldn’t capture this little green tea.
“Maybe I should play some games…”
Ruo Xiaoxi got up, wiggling her round, perky bottom. Her skirt had ridden up, revealing the red marks Xia Zhibai had left on her. That unleashed older sister was really…
Too… too wild…
Mmm… next time, I’ll just use my eyes to seduce her.
No, wait, what do you mean seduce? I’m just trying to make older sisters like me! What’s wrong with wanting to be loved by older sisters? sob sob (feigned grievance).
Ruo Xiaoxi shamelessly declared her outrageous logic.
She turned on the air conditioner and was about to sit back down to play online games when, as she was putting the incomprehensible book back on the shelf, a small piece of paper fell out.
“Hmm? What’s this?”
Ruo Xiaoxi stepped on the paper with her rosy heel, about to turn around.
Suddenly, her foot slipped, and she fell to the floor with a loud thud, taking the chair down with her, the wheels still spinning.
A quick glance into Ruo Xiaoxi’s room revealed only a pair of enticing, white-stockinged feet dangling from the edge of the bed.
