August 15th.
Xin Sui got up early and started working.
Making mooncakes, steaming crabs, stewing chicken, frying fish...
The leopard lay obediently at the kitchen doorway, waiting to be fed.
Looking at the leopard, Xin Sui couldn't help but think of Xiao Ming.
If he hadn't fallen asleep, he would definitely be flying around her right now.
He wanted to taste the food even before it was cooked.
It took most of the day to prepare this meal.
Xin Sui filled a food box to the brim and carried it to the small courtyard.
It's going to be placed next to Xiaoming.
Even though he's asleep and can't eat, it's good to let him smell the aromas and immerse him in the fragrance of food.
Inside the room.
Xiao Ming lay in a white jade plate, like a delicate and flawless doll.
Xuan Tu's hand hovered above him, blood dripping from his fingertips.
It landed on Xiaoming.
It was absorbed by his body.
Xin Sui came in and was surprised to see this scene, but he didn't say anything.
If Xuan Tu is performing some kind of ritual that cannot be disturbed, her voice would affect Xiao Ming's second spiritual transformation, and that would be the end of it.
She stood silently to one side.
Looking at Xuan Tu's bleeding fingers, a sudden idea popped into his head.
As Xuan Tu withdrew his hand, Xin Sui rushed forward in one stride.
She grabbed his hand and put the tip of his bleeding finger into her mouth.
Xuan Tu: "..."
"Is it good?" he asked cryptically.
His eyes were fixed on her, deep and unfathomable, like a calm surface concealing turbulent undercurrents in the deep sea.
Xin Sui: "?"
He immediately realized that she had rushed up to drink his blood.
This is a big misunderstanding.
She just wanted to take the opportunity to complete her mission of "getting a kiss from the big villain."
The system didn't specify where to kiss, so kissing the finger is fine too.
"How could that be? I'm not a vampire, I'm just helping you stop the bleeding."
Xin Sui released his hand and explained in a serious tone.
"Stop the bleeding?"
Xuan Tu stared at his fingertips, pondering the two words.
His tone carried a dangerous ambiguity.
Xin Sui's heart skipped a beat. "That's right, human saliva contains a histone-rich protein that can promote wound healing."
In old TV dramas, there are often scenes where the male or female lead sucks on the other person's finger to stop the bleeding, right?
This does have some scientific basis.
Although this plot point is completely inapplicable in the present day.
After all, Xuan Tu is a person with healing abilities. He can heal such a small wound on his finger with just a little use of his abilities.
Did she really need to use such a clumsy method to stop his bleeding?
But in order to complete the mission, she had no choice but to pretend to be stupid.
[Major villain's corruption value -5]
Xin Sui: "!!!"
She "drank" his blood, which actually reduced his "darkening" level by 5 points.
The next second, Xin Sui watched helplessly as blood gushed out again from Xuan Tu's fingertip, which had already stopped bleeding.
It fell drop by drop.
He showed no intention of using his healing powers to cure her.
He simply watched her quietly, as if waiting, yet also urging her on.
Xin Sui felt a chill run down his spine. "No way?"
She steeled herself and grasped Xuan Tu's hand again, leaning closer to help stop the bleeding with her saliva.
[Host has completed the timed mission; reward: Saliva Healing Technique]
Xin Sui: "..."
"System, you've taken all the bamboo shoots from the mountain. If you had a physical body, I'd spit a mouthful of saliva at you."
[Host, how can you be so uncivilized?]
"Heh, being civilized? Then why don't you give me a reward for being more civilized?"
"Saliva healing technique, how did you even come up with that?"
But I must say, this saliva healing technique is really effective.
As soon as it was used, Xuantu's finger stopped bleeding immediately, healed quickly, and returned to normal.
Xin Sui breathed a sigh of relief.
However, judging from Xuan Tu's expression, she seemed rather dissatisfied.
She was afraid that he would deliberately cause another injury so that she would continue with physical therapy.
He quickly asked him, "What were you doing just now? How did Xiaoming absorb your blood?"
Xuan Tu: "My blood contains rich Xuan power, which can help him accumulate energy."
No wonder he thought she wanted to drink his blood; it turns out his blood is a great tonic for people with superpowers.
Xin Sui sensed it and found that the Xuan power within his body had indeed increased considerably.
She only drank a tiny bit of blood from those two people, and she's already close to breaking through to the first star level.
Just how concentrated is the mystical energy in his blood?
But how could he just tell her this secret like that?
Was he convinced she wouldn't tell, or could he be sure she wouldn't?
Xin Sui: "I see."
He appeared calm and composed.
They went forward and took out the food from the food box one by one, arranging it around Xiaoming.
Xin Sui found it somewhat amusing to see Xiao Ming surrounded by a pile of food.
Doesn't this look a bit like offering sacrifices to ancestors?
But isn't Xiaoming a little devil?
Looking at the sleeping Xiaoming, Xin Sui felt a little itchy and asked Xuan Tu, "Can I touch him?"
Xuan Tu nodded, "Don't worry about waking him up. He won't wake up until the second spiritual transformation is complete."
That put her mind at ease.
Xin Sui reached out and poked Xiao Ming's cheek.
He wouldn't normally lie there so obediently and move around like this for her.
Just as he was happily moving around, Xiaoming's belly suddenly opened up, and a little hand stretched out from inside.
Xin Sui was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, only to see—
The little hand scooped up all the food around him and stuffed it into his stomach.
Finally, that greasy little hand reached out to her like a tentacle.
