Chapter 77: Planting the Crimson Flag Across Every Corner of the Sophiel Continent
“She left after chatting for a bit.”
“She said she has school tomorrow, so she went home to sleep. She’s only a first-year, such a tiny little vampire.” Yifulan leaned her elbows on the counter, watching Ruo Xiaoxi’s receding figure.
She was so young, her strength not even close to that of a truly proud vampire.
“You seem lost in thought. What are you thinking about? Her background?”
“No, I’m just thinking… Xiaoxiao, you’re both white-haired lolitas, but why are her… you know… so big, while yours are so… aesthetically pleasing?”
“Fufu! You! You’re asking for a beating! And why do they have to be big? As long as you have breasts, it’s fine!”
Even after leaving the Tarot Dog Food—er, Astrology Shop, Ruo Xiaoxi could still hear their playful banter.
I can’t handle this. Is this the confidence of married couples?
She instinctively covered her chest, thinking about how flat that white-haired lolita was… Oh no, will she hear me thinking this? She might kill me.
She’ll probably show up out of nowhere and turn me into Xiaoxi sashimi.
Ruo Xiaoxi had declined their special drink. It was useless to her. As far as she knew about her bloodline, she could only sustain herself by directly drinking blood.
Besides, they had a good chat, and she’d discovered two fellow vampires in the city. Ruo Xiaoxi felt much better, even a little excited.
She wanted to tell Sister Chris right away that she’d found companions!
No, calm down, calm down. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep tonight, thinking about all this. I have school tomorrow, and even military training. I need to rest.
“Sigh, but knowing my sister’s bloodline is so… insignificant, I feel a bit disappointed. Does that mean I’m destined to be a nobody?” Ruo Xiaoxi looked up at the moon.
Well, she was a little unwilling to accept that.
But she had been stuffed into a sack and brought home by that silly lolita one night. Since Chris had given her this identity, she should just live with her and take care of each other.
Just like how people couldn’t choose their parents, being born into poverty wasn’t their fault. There was no reason to feel disappointed or inferior. Ambition and perseverance were what mattered.
Maybe her sister was somewhere she couldn’t go, working hard, thinking of providing for her.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao and Yifulan, Ruo Xiaoxi realized that vampires also had a sense of family, connected by marriage and bloodline.
To them, she was just a little vampire who happened to wander by and be discovered.
But since they offered to help if she needed anything, she would definitely take them up on that offer. That was the only vampire-owned milk tea shop—er, astrology shop—she knew!
And it was open during vampire hours! How atmospheric!
Back home, Ruo Xiaoxi felt that today, her first day of high school and the day she met the vampire girls, was very memorable. Sitting at her desk, she picked up a piece of paper, wanting to write something down.
After facing reality, she quickly adjusted her mindset, reaffirming her thoughts, temporarily putting aside her world-conquering ambitions.
Becoming a vampire hadn’t exactly been a grand, epic adventure.
She hadn’t received any magical artifacts or special abilities like a protagonist in a novel. She was ordinary, even weak, without a powerful older sister to protect her. She was a vampire who struggled just to avoid going hungry, someone who might not even be recognized as a true vampire.
Compared to adventure and battles, maybe romance is more my style. When I’m hungry, I’ll just find an older sister to chat with, to flirt—flirt, meaning being flirted with by an older sister.
So, at the end of her diary entry, she wrote:
[This world has swords and magic, otherworldly continents, and I’m just a little vampire. Protect myself, live freely and carefree in this vast world, looking forward to meeting many beautiful older sisters…]
After finishing her diary entry, Ruo Xiaoxi put down her pen, took a shower, and snuggled into bed, quickly falling asleep. She set her alarm; she had school tomorrow. A peaceful, ordinary life was best.
Meanwhile, the “kitten” who’d been watching her slipped into her room.
Latona flew in through the window and snatched the paper from the desk, curious to see what Ruo Xiaoxi had written so earnestly.
Floating in the air, she read the page.
She had only been curious about what Ruo Xiaoxi was up to, but the words revealed an unexpected sweetness, a sense of unassuming maturity and a gentle nature.
Knowing her grand dreams were unattainable, she didn’t complain, instead finding happiness in simpler goals.
While Latona didn’t understand everything Ruo Xiaoxi wrote, she wondered…
As the unrivaled Vampire Queen, who fought her way from the earth’s molten core to the heavens, the one even seven Demon Lords couldn’t suppress, does our older sister, Chris Stasia, really seem that weak?
Honestly, one of Chris’s direct subordinates could take on a Demon Lord single-handedly.
Wasn’t it Chris Stasia and her unparalleled divine army who achieved the great vampire revival, planting the crimson flag across every corner of the Sophiel Continent?
Besides, Chris’s father was the god who ended the God War. She had divine blood.
Latona had recently seen the top ten strongest fighters in the Sophiel Continent (unofficial rankings), and Chris was still ranked first. The combined strength of those ranked second to tenth wasn’t even close to hers.
Even though the war was over and Chris was now slacking off, raising her little sister, that didn’t mean she was weak! Latona scratched her head.
Well, Ruo Xiaoxi will understand if she sees her just once.
Just one glimpse of Chris Stasia, clad in her military uniform, standing before her army on the battlefield, her enemies fleeing in terror, her allies emboldened by her presence.
When war broke out, national borders and rivers meant nothing. Chris Stasia’s left foot divided mountains, her right foot blocked rivers. On the battlefield, she was the front line, she was the border.
Even when negotiating territory surrenders, she’d just walk around, claiming whatever land she covered.
Latona had witnessed all of this, filled with such admiration that she wanted nothing more than to be stepped on by her mistress, whipped with a small riding crop. It would be a blissful experience.
“What are you afraid of? You have a world-renowned older sister. Your sense of security should be maxed out.” Latona floated over to Ruo Xiaoxi’s bedside, gazing at her peaceful sleeping face.
She’d been observing Ruo Xiaoxi in this world for a while now. It was time to formally introduce herself. They were practically sisters now, both taken in by Chris.
As a reward for her good behavior, Latona raised her succubus tail, gently waving it over Ruo Xiaoxi, sprinkling pink powder.
“Compared to us, you’re like a little baby. Xiaobao, I’ll call you Xiaobao from now on.” (Xiao is little, Bao is baby)
“Tonight, I’ll reward you with a pleasant and exciting dream~”
