"that……"

Xiao Jiu wanted to speak directly, but she felt it wasn't appropriate, since the other person was practically a friend of hers.

"What exactly happened, Xiao Jiu? Just tell me."

Yun Si Ning was getting impatient too; it was really hard not to say the truth!

"Um... I mean, can I take a bite out of you?"

"What?"

"Just one bite, really just one bite!"

Seeing Yun Si Ning's somewhat surprised expression, Xiao Jiu quickly changed her words.

"Just half a bite, even just half a bite is fine, just let me have one bite~~"

Xiao Jiu was almost in tears. She opened her big, pitiful eyes and pouted.

Why...why did you bite me?

"I want to drink... drink your blood..."

Xiao Jiu's voice grew softer and softer until Yun Si Ning could barely hear it anymore.

"I... haven't drunk fresh blood in years..."

"This cave is full of nothing but bugs, they taste awful... and they don't even fill my stomach!"

"Little Ning, you smell so good~~~"

Xiao Jiu became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and tears were about to flow from her eyes.

"I often go hungry, only eating one meal and missing nine. If it weren't for the elixirs my mother left behind... I..."

"Alright, alright."

Suddenly, Yun Si Ning patted her on the shoulder.

Xiao Jiu looked up and saw Yun Si Ning's sweet smile.

"It's just a little blood, you can eat as much as you want, just don't eat me dry..."

"Really...really?"

Xiao Jiu found it hard to believe.

"Of course, you saved me and cured me of the poison, what's a little blood?"

"Alright...then I won't stand on ceremony!"

"What? Ah... Ah!"

Before Yun Si Ning could react, Xiao Jiu tackled her to the ground.

"Hey, hey, don't bite there!"
