Chapter 82: We Both Have a Bright Future
“Slippers are over here. Please put these on.” Ruo Xiaoxi retrieved a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet.
Closing the door, she considered how to entertain this unusual guest.
Latona sat on the sofa, her tail swaying gently as she surveyed Ruo Xiaoxi’s apartment, then turned her gaze back to Ruo Xiaoxi.
Ruo Xiaoxi washed some fruit in the kitchen, returned to the living room with a plate, and sat on the sofa.
“Um… this is the first time I’ve met a succubus. How should I address you? Mistress Succubus?” Ruo Xiaoxi asked cautiously, offering Latona a pear.
“No, no, that’s too formal.”
“Then… Sister Succubus?”
“Mmm… I don’t have any experience as an older sister. Even if you call me that, I might not be able to take good care of you. After all, an older sister should look after her younger sister.”
“Okay, Little Sister Succubus.”
“Hmm?” Latona’s gaze shifted slightly. She gently lifted Ruo Xiaoxi’s chin, tilting her head. “Xiaobao, you’re really beautiful. Worthy of Mistress Chris’s bloodline.”
“Wh-what? Why are you suddenly complimenting me…?” Ruo Xiaoxi sensed a strange shift in the atmosphere.
“Actually, I’ve never been with a man. I survive on… essence. A girl’s essence. I’m wondering… how to make your cheeky little mouth more obedient~”
“Wah! A female pervert!” Ruo Xiaoxi placed her hands neatly on her lap, playing innocent.
“Then how should I address you? You said you’re also Chris’s adopted sister.”
“Just call me Latona. Actually, I’ve been observing you for a long time, Xiaobao. I’ve been secretly following you every day, watching where you go and what you do, getting to know your habits and personality.”
“So you’ve been spying on me!” Ruo Xiaoxi jumped up, putting a foot on the sofa.
So that was it! She had thought some urban legend was haunting her! That feeling of being watched, growing stronger every day.
There were even nights she couldn’t sleep, getting up repeatedly to check the locks, fearing a stalker.
The culprit who’d kept her on edge for half a month was this little succubus!
If she wasn’t afraid of losing, she’d give Latona a good beating.
“Because I’d never met you. I didn’t know you well. Mistress Chris only mentioned you briefly.” Latona looked innocent, still rubbing her staff between her legs.
Ruo Xiaoxi grabbed the staff, blushing. “Listen to me! Don’t do… lewd things while we’re talking! I understand you’re a succubus, but you still can’t do that!”
“I don’t understand…” Latona looked at Ruo Xiaoxi blankly.
“Haa… Let’s get back on topic. Did Chris send you? If you came earlier, you could have just met me directly. Hiding for so long, you scared me to death.”
“No, I came secretly because I really wanted to meet you,” Latona explained.
“I’m Mistress Chris’s maid, and also a priestess at her shrine. I provide guidance and light to those who have lost their way, letting them feel the warmth of my mistress’s divine light.”
“I also chant verses for them, cleansing their hearts of impurity, helping them overcome and control their desires, focusing on noble and sacred pursuits…”
“Wait… aren’t you a succubus? A succubus… priestess?” Ruo Xiaoxi interrupted.
“Is there a problem? Don’t worry, it doesn’t affect my preaching. Because before each sermon, I… take care of my own… physical needs. Then, filled with faith, I teach others to be like me, free from desires, not blinded by lowly pleasures…”
Latona spoke with conviction and pride, closing her eyes and spreading her arms as if embracing divine light, her face full of hope.
Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyebrow twitched. “So you… satisfy yourself, then tell everyone else they can’t? You evil woman!”
“How can you say that? As a priestess, I must be pure and kind. Only with a pure heart can I spread the greatness of Chris Stasia. How I achieve inner peace is irrelevant.”
“If your followers heard that, their faith would crumble!” Ruo Xiaoxi glanced at Latona’s chest. How can a priestess with such a… distracting body be pure?
She seriously doubted they were worshipping Chris Stasia and not Latona’s… assets.
“It’s fine. Barely anyone comes to the shrine anyway. I hardly make any money. That’s why I have so much free time to sneak out. I even made a life-sized statue of myself and put it in the shrine.”
“Oh… that sounds… sad.” Ruo Xiaoxi’s voice softened.
As she suspected, Chris wasn’t doing well. Building a shrine that barely anyone visited… how pathetic.
Despite her haughty and dignified demeanor, Chris might be toiling away somewhere, weeding someone’s garden.
But if she built a shrine, even if no one came, she must have hoped for followers…
“It is a bit lonely. But now that I’m here to play with Xiaobao, things should liven up.”
“Why do you call me Xiaobao? No one has ever called me that.”
“Isn’t that even better? It’s my special nickname for you. Come on, let’s go to your room and have some fun. Or we can do it here on the sofa.” Latona rubbed her hands together excitedly.
“Huh?! What… what kind of fun?”
“Isn’t it obvious? You’re a vampire, I’m a succubus. We can… help each other… satisfy our needs. You drink my blood, I… extract your essence. We both have a bright future.”
“You’re into girls too?! Stay away from me! I know Tide Magic! I’ll hit you!”
Ruo Xiaoxi stood on the sofa, holding a pillow defensively, wary of the dangerous, busty, blonde girl.
“You’ve already learned magic? So quickly? Tide Magic? What’s that?”
“Uh… well…” Ruo Xiaoxi blushed, her bravado fading. She stammered, “Tide Magic… it’s… well, Xiaoxi… gets… wet! @^(*^# (gibberish)”
“Really? That’s great! Drink more water then, to prepare.”
“Wah! You understood that?! Latona, you’re such a… a veteran! Wait, no, no…” Ruo Xiaoxi struggled as Latona pulled her into a hug, her feet kicking in the air.
“No, no, no, no H! Really! Help!”
