Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 122 : How Can This World Have Both Ways, Not Betraying the System Nor the Moon

"Today's stream ends here. See you tomorrow!"

After saying the formulaic closing words, Xifeng hastily ended her stream.

From the moment she finished singing "Hop," the comments had exploded like a pot and wouldn't stop until she went offline. Countless people were still frantically teasing her, with content basically saying her performance was very faithful to the original, very much capturing the original singer's essence.

But this wasn't exactly praise in a certain sense, because... "Hop" was a song oriented toward male homosexuality, and the Bulgarian Demon King who performed this song was a famous gay man.

In her last glance before closing the comment system, Xifeng caught sight of an extremely excessive comment.

"Being able to sing 'Hop' so submissively, the streamer must definitely be a bottom in real life, right? Ah, I really want to hear the streamer's moaning sounds while getting pounded."

You're the bottom, your whole family are bottoms!

Cursing inwardly, Xifeng found this user from the comment backend and banned them for a month!

I'm a rights dog, bite me if you're not happy!

Closing her computer, Xifeng was still somewhat indignant. She should have refused to sing this song if she'd known.

Tomorrow Bilibili's remix section would probably be full of her remixes. This might be what they call "one misstep becomes eternal regret."

After bathing and climbing into bed, Xifeng performed her customary pre-sleep activity—playing with her phone.

But for some reason, Xifeng felt like something was missing tonight compared to usual. She leaned against the headboard in confusion, thinking for a long time before suddenly realizing—Bei Yaoyue hadn't come to harass her today, not even a peep.

Great, had that bastard finally grown a conscience? Did this mean she no longer had to live in constant fear?

But... she felt unexpectedly a bit lonely.

Xifeng thought this with some disappointment, but quickly snapped back to her senses, almost wanting to slap herself.

What was she thinking? She should be overjoyed that Bei Yaoyue wasn't harassing her. Why would she feel regretful?

Xifeng felt there must be something wrong with her brain, but then she thought again—if Bei Yaoyue really stopped having designs on her, what would happen to her mission?

"[Mission]:

Mission Description: Surely you're not satisfied with stopping at just kissing? Her body must also be craving more advanced activities. Keep up the good work, don't let her feel lonely, but if you can't complete the mission...

Mission Objective: Make Her Climax Three Times: 1/3.

Time Limit: 5 days 18 hours 23 minutes 33 seconds.

Mission Reward: Legendary Gacha Ticket ×1.

Failure Penalty: Base Arousal value increased by 100%, lasting 12 hours."

What made Xifeng feel terrible was that whether the mission succeeded or failed, she would be the one suffering.

Unconsciously clenching her teeth in anger, Xifeng hated this broken system to death. Her system's level of wickedness was definitely unique in the world—if it dared claim second place, absolutely no one would dare claim first.

To make a host wish their own system would disappear from the world—in a certain sense, this system had reached the pinnacle of system existence.

Staring at the ceiling for a while, Xifeng rolled over onto her stomach and tapped Bei Yaoyue's yuzu avatar.

"What are you doing?"

"Reading." Bei Yaoyue's reply came quickly.

"Reading?" Xifeng was somewhat surprised. "What book?"

In her impression, when Bei Yaoyue was in her bedroom, apart from sleeping, she was either working on drafts or studying. Reading books was truly rare for Bei Yaoyue.

Bei Yaoyue looked at the large title "The Art of Communication" on the cover, thought for a moment, and lied: "A novel."

"What novel?" Xifeng immediately became interested. She was very curious what kind of novel someone like Bei Yaoyue would read, though it would probably be some anime light novel, right?

Bei Yaoyue thought for a moment and casually mentioned a novel title she remembered: "The Devotion of Suspect X."

"Oh oh! It's actually that book? That book is really well written, I love it too. The author wrote deception to the extreme."

"Mm."

Bei Yaoyue actually hadn't read it at all. She didn't even know what type of novel it was, just mentioned it casually hoping to muddle through, not expecting to apparently hit Xifeng's sweet spot. She immediately felt overwhelmed.

"I've basically read all of Keigo Higashino's books. His books..."

Once the conversation started, Xifeng talked endlessly. Bei Yaoyue, who knew nothing about Keigo Higashino, could only respond with perfunctory "mm"s and "ah"s.

Seeing that Bei Yaoyue didn't seem interested in this topic, Xifeng tactfully stopped and bit her thumbnail, mustering courage to type: "Um... about that mission thing..."

"What about it?"

"Are you really not planning to do that mission?"

"I promised I wouldn't touch you."

"Nobody cares about that kind of promise... Do you want to do it?"

"I don't care either way, since I'm not the one who'll suffer."

"So what's your plan?"

Bei Yaoyue thought for a moment and asked: "Do you want to do it? I'll listen to you."

"Of course I don't want to!" Xifeng answered immediately.

"Alright, then we won't do it."

"...Won't you reconsider?"

"?"

"Won't you think about it again?"

After a few exchanges, Bei Yaoyue was completely confused by Xifeng. She had already backed down this far—what more did she want? What more?

She had clearly said her decision depended on Xifeng's opinion, and Xifeng had quickly given a negative answer, yet she still asked if she wanted to reconsider.

What was this little one thinking about?

"I already said I respect your choice." Bei Yaoyue rubbed her somewhat aching temples. "If you're willing, I can go help you finish it right now. If you're not willing, then we won't do it."

"...Then let's not do it."

"Fine."

The conversation cut off there. Seeing no new messages from the other party, Bei Yaoyue put down her phone and focused on reading.

Knowing one's inadequacies allows for self-reflection. Bei Yaoyue knew what she currently lacked most was knowledge of how to interact with others and various social etiquette.

If she and Xifeng were together in the future, Bei Yaoyue felt she would definitely handle external affairs while Xifeng handled internal ones, so social skills were naturally essential.

Years of reclusive living had already put her behind at the starting line, but fortunately it wasn't too late to turn over a new leaf.

On the other side, Xifeng lay on her bed feeling dejected, having angrily thrown her pillow to the floor.

Xifeng neither wanted to do those unspeakable things nor wanted the mission to fail. Doing it herself was absolutely not something she would consider. She was stuck either way, so she decided to hand the choice over to Bei Yaoyue.

Her words were actually crazy hints for Bei Yaoyue to make the decision, but Bei Yaoyue modestly returned the choice intact, making her so angry she almost coughed up blood.

Xifeng was certain Bei Yaoyue wasn't pretending to be stupid to annoy her. With that person's emotional intelligence, she was definitely genuinely stupid.

Sighing deeply, Xifeng couldn't help thinking how nice it would be if there were some way to avoid doing the mission without failing it, but unfortunately... it was impossible.

How can this world have both ways, not betraying the system nor the moon.
