Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 100 : I'm Not Doing This Task

The only thing Xifeng was grateful for now was that this task was issued after Bei Yaoyue had done bad things to her—otherwise... she was ninety percent confident Bei Yaoyue would definitely push the task forward on the spot. Then her appearance radiating female scent would surely be noticed by others.

This task really put Xifeng in a difficult position. The task objective aside—that was a forbidden matter she absolutely didn't want to touch—as for the failure punishment... it was even more cruel.

Thinking this, Xifeng couldn't help but despairingly cover her face. This system was really getting more and more excessive—it truly wouldn't give up until it trained her into a plaything.

Before, she could still bite the bullet and abandon tasks, but now even task punishments were becoming excessive. Where should she go from here?

Seeing Xifeng's expression of having no will to live, Bei Yaoyue's eyes rolled, suddenly letting out a wicked laugh, speaking in a teasing tone: "Didn't you always not want to do the system's tasks? This time I'll listen to you. For these seven days, I won't touch you even once. Let's wait for the task to fail."

Bei Yaoyue actually quite wanted to see how Xifeng would choose in this situation. Her mischievous nature was fully displayed at this moment.

"What!?"

Xifeng was startled. If the task failed, wouldn't she be forcibly put into heat by the system for 12 hours!?

She didn't even dare imagine what she would become then—she had drunk the pink flower tea and had some idea of what that meant.

Although she still had a bottle of blue flower tea that was more than half full in her warehouse, whether it could have the proper effect was still unknown, because the system punishment was very clear: "Base Arousal value increased by 100%, lasting 12 hours."

Whether this "base value" could be reduced by the blue flower tea was questionable, so Xifeng absolutely didn't dare take this risk.

But since Bei Yaoyue had said this, Xifeng couldn't possibly shamelessly say "I want it." So after her expression changed several times, she could only snort coldly and say quite awkwardly: "That's great. I wish you'd never touch me again in your life."

Hearing Xifeng's forced stubbornness, Bei Yaoyue just smiled playfully and didn't respond further. She leaned against the headboard and played with her phone.

Xifeng also found a chair to sit down, trying to find some conversation topics: "Speaking of which, I've always had a question I wanted to ask."

"Mm, go ahead."

"How much money do you actually have in your personal stash?"

Although finances were a relatively private matter, Xifeng felt that given their current relationship, this wasn't something that couldn't be discussed, right?

She was really curious—Bei Yaoyue spent money like water. Was she using her own earned money or the Bei Yao family's money?

Although Bei Yaoyue had once told her she'd never used a cent of the Bei Yao family's money, Xifeng had always been somewhat skeptical.

The job she found after university graduation was at a Fortune 500 state-owned enterprise, and after a whole year she barely made it into six figures. Yet Bei Yaoyue casually threw out fifty thousand to tip her without any heartache at all. If it wasn't the Bei Yao family's money, just how much did Bei Yaoyue's personal stash have?

Bei Yaoyue looked up thoughtfully and said: "Guess. If you're right, there's a reward."

"...I'll pass on the reward." Xifeng laughed awkwardly. She didn't think Bei Yaoyue would give her any proper "reward." "I guess five hundred thousand?"

"Too little."

"One million?"

"Still too little."

"Three million?"

Bei Yaoyue still shook her head.

"...Five million!?"

"About right." Bei Yaoyue nodded somewhat uncertainly. She hadn't counted precisely, but it was roughly around that number.

"Really...?" Looking strange, Xifeng looked at Bei Yaoyue suspiciously. Saving five million while studying over three years sounded rather fantastical.

Five million—that was a number the former her would need to struggle most of her lifetime to barely reach, and a considerable portion of that would need to be spent on buying a house. Being thankful if she could save seven figures after working hard most of her life.

"The power of an original artist is far greater than you imagine." Bei Yaoyue smiled mysteriously.

She clearly remembered that this time last year, she spent a month drawing two swimsuit illustrations for a mobile game called "Azur Lane," and these two illustrations brought her as much as seven hundred thousand in income.

All she could say was that otaku money was really easy to earn.

"Knock knock knock."

At this moment, knocking interrupted their conversation, followed by Uncle Chen's steady voice.

"Young Miss, Second Young Miss, Master, Madam, and Miss Luo have arrived home. Master requests that you come to the dining room for dinner."

"Got it." Bei Yaoyue replied, then sprang up from the bed with a carp leap.

"Miss Luo..." Xifeng pondered this name she'd never heard before. "Is that your cousin?"

"Mm, her name is Bei Yaoluo. Just call her Sister Luo."

"Okay."

While following Bei Yaoyue downstairs, Xifeng casually said: "I don't think I've ever heard you mention grandparents."

Xifeng felt Bei Yaochen looked to be only around forty, so calculating, Bei Yaoyue's grandparents should only be in their early sixties, right? They couldn't have already left this world, could they?

"Them..." After a brief silence, Bei Yaoyue sighed lightly, seeming somewhat helpless. "Grandpa and Grandma have lived their whole lives unrestrained and loving freedom. When they were young, they started a business to make a living. In middle age, they finally achieved success, but soon began to worry about the pressure and constraints that career brought, always looking for opportunities to break free.

"Later, when Dad was in his twenties, Grandpa and Grandma dumped all the company shares on Dad, keeping only a large sum of savings. The old couple used this money to travel the world.

"They basically travel everywhere in the world, so we can rarely contact them year-round. They only come back to China once a year during New Year to see us. I've barely seen them a few times in over ten years. Right now they're probably fishing at some tourist destination."

"..." Xifeng was momentarily speechless.

After thinking it over, only one word "damn" could express her current feelings.

Xifeng felt these old folks were... a bit too free, weren't they?

Actually abandoning family and career, only caring about their own leisure. According to Bei Yaoyue, they'd been gone for twenty years and still hadn't had enough fun.

But seriously thinking about it, Xifeng felt such a life... sounded quite comfortable. While she couldn't say she yearned for it, she definitely didn't dislike it.

The two arrived at the dining room, where Bei Yaochen, Kisaragi Ichika, and a young woman in her early twenties had already taken their seats, with Uncle Chen standing nearby waiting for their arrival.

The dishes on the table were very abundant—over ten varieties of dishes with excellent color, aroma, and taste were laid out, completely worthy of the word "feast."
