Chapter 41 So small and cute, you could strangle her with one hand
These two words carried an unspeakable sarcasm, as if mocking him for being love-struck.
Wen Xubai gave a wry smile, folded the paper in half and put it away. His fingertips trembled inexplicably when they touched the paper, as if it had truly cleared his muddled mind a little.
At the same time, as soon as they stepped out of the coffee shop, Fu Qinghuai clung to Xie Xun, his arm naturally encircling Xie Xun's waist, and he leaned down to rest his chin on Xie Xun's shoulder.
"Xunxun is so generous..."
Fu Qinghuai's voice was muffled, clearly displeased, "Pure Yin blood is so precious, how could you just casually give it to an outsider? Is that person your type, that's why you were so nice to him?"
Xie Xun was speechless. He tried to pry his hands off, but was held even tighter.
"That's a calming talisman, just to keep him awake," Xie Xun explained calmly, without stopping.
"Hehe, I don't believe that Xunxun has no selfish motives at all."
Fu Qinghuai chuckled, stopping right there in the street and turning Xie Xun around. His eyes gleamed slightly in the setting sun. "I think you just feel sorry for that Wen guy. He can't sleep, so you're willing to use your own blood to lull him to sleep?"
He grew increasingly dissatisfied, his fingertips twirling a strand of Xie Xun's hair as he played with it, his tone full of jealousy, "When I was in pain, why weren't you so attentive? I had to coax you before you'd let me suck your blood?"
Xie Xun was somewhat helpless from being pestered, but what he himself did not realize was that he did not feel the same annoyance as before when Fu Qinghuai was pestering him like this.
What do you want?
Upon hearing this, Fu Qinghuai's eyes lit up instantly, like a child who had received candy, yet with an unmistakable forcefulness. He pulled Xie Xun into a deserted alleyway and pinned him against the wall.
"Before going back,"
He lowered his head, his nose brushing against Xie Xun's warm carotid artery, his voice hoarse and tinged with greed, "I need to drink Xun Xun's blood to nourish myself."
Before Xie Xun could respond, he opened his mouth and took that delicate, fair skin into his mouth, his sharp teeth gently grinding against it, but without immediately piercing it.
That breath, so close yet so intimate, inexplicably made my heart race.
Xie Xun stiffened, but did not push him away.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and after a long while, he finally turned his head and offered it to the demon's lips.
"Don't be too greedy." He spoke softly, more as a sign of indulgence than a warning.
Upon hearing this, Fu Qinghuai chuckled softly, and without further hesitation, he slowly sucked on the skin with his sharp teeth.
Contrary to expectations, there was no intense pain. Instead, a very light sucking sensation spread, accompanied by a tingling, numbing feeling that made my limbs feel weak, like an electric shock. My whole body felt tingly and numb, an indescribable feeling.
Xie Xun groaned, his fingers unconsciously clenching Fu Qinghuai's clothes, his knuckles turning white from the force.
The bustling traffic outside the alley seemed to be shut out, leaving only the sounds of breathing and blood flowing into throats.
Fu Qinghuai tightened his arms around Xie Xun's waist, as if trying to meld Xie Xun into his own body.
Gradually, the sucking motions became more lingering, like the foreplay of some kind of exercise.
After a long while, Fu Qinghuai reluctantly let go, his tongue lingeringly licking the two rapidly healing tiny wounds, taking away the last drop of blood.
This time, Fu Qinghuai didn't leave him with any more wounds; instead, he helped him heal.
Xie Xun's heart was pounding uncontrollably. He couldn't quite describe how he felt, but... something seemed to have changed.
He pursed his lips, trying to shake off the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
After a long while, Fu Qinghuai licked that patch of skin with lingering affection.
She looked up and met Xie Xun's gaze. Her peach blossom eyes were even more beautiful than usual, squinting contentedly like a tiger after a hearty meal.
"Xunxun's blood is so sweet..."
Fu Qinghuai's voice was low and husky, full of addictive quality, "I just finished smoking, and I already want to smoke more. What should I do? Will Xunxun spoil me?"
Xie Xun steadied his slightly weak legs and forced himself to regain his usual composure.
"Won't."
A trace of redness lingered at the corner of his eye. He raised his hand and patted Fu Qinghuai's forehead, pushing his head away slightly. "Go after you've had your fill. It's getting late."
After saying that, without waiting for Fu Qinghuai's reaction, she pushed him away, turned around and left, her tall figure looking quite handsome.
Looking at his seemingly calm back, Fu Qinghuai felt a tickle in his heart and suddenly couldn't help but chuckle softly.
He could sense that Xie Xun's tense defenses were gradually loosening.
He seems to be starting to like him, which is a good thing.
"Search!"
Fu Qinghuai drew out his words as he chased after Xie Xun, the black mist following him like a shadow, wrapping around Xie Xun's wrist and binding him tightly like a snake. But what he said was very nonchalant, "Why are you walking so fast? Are you afraid I'll kiss you in front of everyone on the street?"
Xie Xun blushed at his shameless words, but was unwilling to waste any more words on him.
At this moment, a small emerald green head cautiously peeked out from Xie Xun's collar.
Little Green flicked its tongue, its crimson eyes fixed on Fu Qinghuai, who was clinging tightly to Xie Xun.
This wicked thing was bullying its owner again!
It's all about sucking blood, and wanting to suck even more!
Anyone who didn't know better would think this ghost was its owner's pet!
Xiao Lü glared at Fu Qinghuai again, then affectionately nuzzled Xie Xun's neck, her obedient demeanor a stark contrast to Fu Qinghuai's earlier rude behavior.
Xie Xun noticed Xiao Lü's movements. She hadn't shown herself the whole way, clearly knowing she might scare people.
It only just popped out now; it's so well-behaved.
He reached out with pity, and Little Green immediately climbed slowly up his wrist, soon reaching Xie Xun's shoulder.
With its master's protection, Little Green seemed to gain confidence instantly. It raised its head and hissed defiantly at Fu Qinghuai, its tail flicking lightly in the air.
It knew that this wicked thing wouldn't really kill it because of its owner, but it would certainly be taught a lesson in private.
However, as long as it stays firmly on its owner, it is absolutely safe.
Fu Qinghuai raised an eyebrow at this and glanced lightly at the little brat who was pretending to be powerful.
Now that he had eaten and drunk his fill, Fu Qinghuai was in a very good mood. Instead of being annoyed, the smile in his eyes deepened.
A faint wisp of yin energy quietly gathered at his fingertips, which then swirled into a thick black mist, waving in front of the little snake as if he were teasing a pet.
Little Green was immediately frightened and pulled its snake head back behind Xie Xun's neck, flicking its tongue and revealing a pair of red eyes to observe Fu Qinghuai.
"Look how scared this little thing is."
Fu Qinghuai chuckled, feigning innocence when he met Xie Xun's reproachful gaze. He pulled Xie Xun closer, his arm around her waist. "Xunxun, your pet is nothing like you! It's so small and cute, I could strangle it with one hand~"
Xie Xun ignored him, turned his head to avoid the ungrateful devil, and hailed a taxi.
When they returned to the tea room, Liu Xiuyuan and A-Can were already prepared.
The group ate a simple vegetarian meal, and Xie Xun closed his eyes to rest for half an hour. When midnight arrived, the group set off for the Ghost Market.
As night fell, and given that this was a relatively remote area, there were very few pedestrians on the streets.
Liu Xiuyuan led the way with a compass in hand, while A-Can followed behind carrying a bulging cloth bag filled with some unknown contents.
Xie Xun was still dressed in a neat tracksuit, with Xiao Lü hidden in his sleeve, while Fu Qinghuai transformed into a black mist that almost blended into the night, swirling around him.
They walked through several quiet streets and alleys.
Finally, we stopped in front of a wall covered with withered ivy.
Liu Xiuyuan took out three incense sticks and lit them. The smoke curled up but did not rise. Instead, it seemed to have a life of its own, seeping into the wall in wisps.
"Close your eyes, concentrate, and follow the smoke," Liu Xiuyuan whispered.
Xie Xun closed his eyes and felt as if he were enveloped by a cool aura, as if he were passing through a layer of icy mist.
When I opened my eyes again, the scene before me was completely different.
A misty ghost market unfolds before your eyes, with various lanterns casting swaying glows.
Xie Xun followed Liu Xiuyuan through several stalls. Xiao Lü curiously poked its head out and slowly crawled out of his sleeve, looking around without any restraint.
"Thank you, young friend. I need to go and ask some old friends for some information."
Liu Xiuyuan pointed to the stalls displaying medicinal herbs deep in the mist, "You can browse around as you like. If you need anything, just use this communication talisman to call me."
