Chapter 98: The Vampire’s Aspiration
“Let’s see, the cookies are ten yuan, sweet milk is four yuan, instant noodles are five yuan, but this seaweed you like so much is expensive, a little bit costs over thirty yuan.”
Walking out of the convenience store, Ruo Xiaoxi held the bag, looking down at the price list.
Latona had no concept of money and didn’t know how much had been spent, but hearing Xiaobao say it was expensive, she suddenly felt a pang of guilt for making her spend so much.
Xiaobao already spent a lot just buying me clothes. Is it really impossible to survive in a city like this without money?
It was just like when she used to go to the Scarborough Fair with Mistress Chris; everything cost gold coins.
She had no money, so she just followed along, looking here and there, with Mistress Chris paying for everything.
“Here, Xiaobao, for you.” Latona fumbled in her pocket and pulled out a few banknotes. It was the money Ruo Xiaoxi had given her that morning, now returned.
“What’s wrong?”
“Actually, in the environment I used to live in, we didn’t need currency. Everyone exchanged things with elf dew or World Tree leaves. I had no concept of money, and even after my home was destroyed and Mistress Chris found me, I never spent any money.”
“Oh… it’s okay. These are for you. You don’t need to give them back.”
“Xiaobao seems to have spent a lot of money because of me. I feel very bad. Keeping it myself is useless, so I’ll give it to you.” Latona handed the money back to Ruo Xiaoxi.
For some reason, seeing Latona’s obedient side… or rather, Latona seemed to be obedient all the time! Ruo Xiaoxi suddenly felt a warmth in her heart and said to her:
“Latona! It’s okay, I’ll take care of you!”
“Eh? Does that mean you want to go home and cuddle with me? My skills are excellent, Xiaobao can rest assured!” Latona’s eyes lit up, seemingly misunderstanding something.
“No, no, no… I didn’t mean that.” Ruo Xiaoxi quickly waved her hands.
No matter how harmless the other party seemed, at times like this, she couldn’t help but remember that Latona was a little succubus who always wanted to cuddle and drain her. She was not some innocent big-breasted cute girl!
But Latona usually acted like an obedient little girl. After getting something delicious, she would eagerly circle Ruo Xiaoxi, wanting to take it out of the bag and eat it immediately, unable to wait until they got home.
Ruo Xiaoxi took out the seaweed, tore open the packaging, and Latona began to gobble it down.
The two girls stopped at the crosswalk, watching the passing vehicles, waiting for the traffic light.
“Don’t just focus on eating! Pay attention to the cars. When crossing the road, look left and right. Only cross when there are no cars. If you get hit… I don’t know if a succubus would die, but it would definitely hurt!”
“Mmm-hmm.” Latona was busy eating, not listening at all.
“By the way, Latona, I actually have a lot of questions for you. How did you come to my side? You and Chris have always come to see me. Can I also visit where you live?”
“Oh, that. Using a magic circle. I used the magic circle Mistress Chris left for me and teleported directly here.”
“That’s so convenient! Can I also go to your side through a magic circle?”
“Probably… maybe? I don’t know if it’s a two-way street. We can try. If it doesn’t work, you can try to make one to go back.”
“Hey, you didn’t even prepare a way to go back before you came!” Ruo Xiaoxi complained.
“Because I came to see Xiaobao! It’s not like I’m going to war or something. If I can’t go back, I’ll just stay with Xiaobao for a while. Mistress Chris will definitely come to pick us up.”
“What if I kick you out? Wouldn’t you have to sleep on the street?”
“Will Xiaobao kick me out?” Latona froze. She didn’t seem to have considered this question, and only then did she say in a flustered voice: “I… I can work for you! I can earn money too.”
“Are you a clumsy beauty? Alright, I won’t kick you out, and you don’t need to go out and work.”
Latona’s embrace was quite warm. When sleeping at night, snuggling in her arms was very comfortable, and she also had a very comfortable pillow. She slept soundly until dawn.
She also seemed to be good at housework, and she said she was a maid, so it was like hiring a little nanny.
Ruo Xiaoxi looked up at the starry night sky above the city, peaceful and beautiful. She suddenly felt a pang of emotion. Her life seemed to have changed a lot.
She had become a petite and lovely vampire, gradually coming into contact with a more mysterious world. The girl temporarily staying at her home was even a little succubus. Yet, she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she was full of curiosity about this new life, but it still seemed to be missing something…
“Latona, I want to learn magic,” Ruo Xiaoxi said. As a great and noble bloodkin, she also wanted to possess powerful magic and participate in all sorts of adventures.
Just as Yifulan and Su Xiaoxiao said, power was meant to protect loved ones.
Ruo Xiaoxi also had girls she wanted to protect.
“Xiaobao is finally interested in magic?” Latona asked.
“I’ve always been interested, okay! I was just busy with my own basic needs, dating older sisters, and also… I was weak. I couldn’t understand magic books.”
“Eh, but I don’t think Xiaoxi is weak at all?”
“That’s right! I’m not weak now. I found that after drinking blood, my body developed very quickly. Look at my wings, look, look! Aren’t they very mature now?”
Ruo Xiaoxi secretly revealed her wings in the alley. They were a pair of beautiful, flawless black wings, growing from her lower back, protecting her sides. She proudly fluttered her little wings.
Latona gently stroked her wings. “Such beautiful wings, they really look like Mistress Chris’s.”
“Hmph, she has two pairs of wings, but I only have one. I wonder if more will grow in the future. In a while, my wings might even be bigger than hers!”
“That might be a bit difficult? When Mistress Chris’s wings are fully spread, they can completely shroud a village in the shadow of her dark domain, and the surging aura pours down like a waterfall…”
“That’s enough! Are you writing a story here? Just stop. Even if you’re her maid, you can’t brag like that.” Ruo Xiaoxi looked at Latona with an expression of disbelief.
“I’m not bragging, it’s true…”
“Are you taking me for a fool? When she was holding me down and drinking my blood, her wings at most only wrapped around me, right? Do you think I haven’t seen her wings!” Ruo Xiaoxi pouted.
“As expected of a priestess, so good at preaching. You must be from Chris’s church, right?”
“That’s right! How did you know? I am a priestess of the Chris Stasia Temple, believing in—”
“Is that the self-proclaimed church that barely gets any visitors all year?”
Ruo Xiaoxi covered her forehead. No, these two sisters are beyond saving. They must be so pathetic they’ve lost their minds. It seems I, Ruo Xiaoxi, will have to be the one to carry on the bloodline’s glory.
Later, when I rise up and conquer, I’ll bully Sister Chris! Heh heh… heh heh heh…
“How about this, Latona, you teach me some basic magic first. If you teach me, I’ll agree to cuddle with you. And… I can treat you to a meal or something.” Ruo Xiaoxi scratched her cheek.
“How will you treat me? I’ve already said I don’t need ordinary food…”
“I’ll just sit on your face and feed you!” Ruo Xiaoxi said, blushing and throwing caution to the wind.
“Gasp!” Latona’s tail immediately popped out happily, wagging back and forth as she affectionately hugged Ruo Xiaoxi. “Really? Yay! Then I’ll definitely use my little tail to turn Xiaobao upside down!”
“Hmph, I should be the one making you purr!”
“Alright, alright, hahaha, don’t carry me like this, I can’t walk!”
