Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 133 : Entanglement

When Xifeng woke up again, it was already 11 AM.

Xifeng slowly sat up. There was no sensation of cat ears on her head—it seemed Bei Yaoyue had already put the cat collar away.

Bei Yaoyue sat in front of the computer nearby, concentrating on drawing. Seeing Xifeng get up, she turned her head and opened her mouth to say something, but was ruthlessly cut off by Xifeng.

"Don't talk! Don't bother me!" Xifeng said through gritted teeth. Not caring that she was still naked, she crawled out from under the covers and got out of bed.

When her feet touched the ground, it felt like stepping on clouds. The floating sensation almost made Xifeng fall directly to the floor, and her figure swayed accordingly, looking unsteady.

"Are you okay?" Although she'd been given a gag order, Bei Yaoyue couldn't help but ask with concern, her blue-green eyes full of care and worry.

"Shut up!" Xifeng glared resentfully at the culprit who had made her this way. "Crocodile tears? What are you pretending for?"

Getting crude when excited was a bad habit left over from when Xifeng was a man, but Bei Yaoyue was long used to it and didn't really mind. After all, a loli who swore was, in a certain sense, also a kind of gap moe.

"No one's making you lunch. Order takeout yourself."

Angrily dropping this line, Xifeng left the room directly, slamming the door hard.

Watching Xifeng's retreating figure, Bei Yaoyue helplessly shrugged. It seemed she had made Xifeng angry, but this couldn't be blamed on her, right?

Clearly Xifeng had bullied her first—she was just acting in legitimate self-defense, and she hadn't used excessive force—at least that's what she thought.

But this time Bei Yaoyue was overthinking it. Xifeng actually wasn't angry at all—she was just... furious from embarrassment.

Recalling the maddening torture she experienced under the combined effects of cat ears and the tattoo—actually there was also Hand of God that she didn't know about—Xifeng couldn't help but shiver. That sensation was definitely not a realm humans should enter.

A few more times like that and her brain would definitely break!

Xifeng felt she might need to think of a way—no, she absolutely had to come up with some method to turn the tables, otherwise... something would definitely go wrong sooner or later.

"Mom, I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back soon." Bai He said to her mother on the sofa while putting on her shoes.

Her mother stopped what she was doing and asked: "Where are you going?"

"My new book got a contract. I'm going to mail the contract back."

"Another new book?"

"Mm..." Bai He nodded, though there was clearly some lack of confidence in her voice. After all, she had been lying before—this was her first real contract signing.

Facts proved that no one disliked watching two girls being intimate, and most readers of Carrot Bun Light Novels liked reverse-push plots. With these two buffs combined, her book could be said to have become an instant hit.

Although it was still far from truly exploding in popularity, with monthly votes only ranking in the hundreds site-wide, for a newcomer who had just started writing, this was already quite a remarkable achievement.

She had also asked some seniors for advice. If her book continued developing steadily at this pace until publication, she could earn nearly six thousand yuan per month.

This was almost the best news Bai He had heard in months. She finally no longer had to do those shameful deeds, but had a proper side job outside of her studies.

"What about your previous book? Are you still writing it?"

"Uh... my previous book was taken down for certain reasons." Bai He smiled sheepishly, fabricating lies. "So I have to start a new book now, otherwise I won't have any income. So I probably won't be able to make much money for the next month..."

"I see... but it's fine. Your primary task right now is studying. I can figure out the money situation, so you don't need to worry too much about it."

"Mm, I'll go now then."

"Be careful on the road."

Closing the door, Bai He couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Not worry... how could she not worry? Her mother could never return to that young, strong age when she could solve food, clothing, and shelter just by selling her labor. She had to contribute to this family to reduce the pressure on her mother.

Bai He walked toward the alley exit, but before going far, she was suddenly blocked by someone. She looked up puzzledly and her expression immediately changed dramatically.

"Do you still remember me?" The middle-aged man crossed his arms, looking at her with a half-smile.

Taking two steps back, Bai He gritted her teeth. She would never forget this person's face for the rest of her life!

She took out her phone and quickly entered 110 in the dialing section, shouting: "Get lost! Or I'll call the police!"

"Don't get excited." Brother Liu smiled very amiably. "I was rash last time. I apologize to you. This time I'm here to make a deal with you. How about listening to my conditions before deciding?"

"Get lost! I have nothing to say to scum like you!" Bai He's face was iron-blue, full of anger.

A deal? Wasn't he just trying to get her to sell herself? What kind of deal was that?

Although Bai He rejected him outright, Brother Liu didn't care at all. He said to himself: "Your mother has a leg condition, right?"

"..." Bai He looked at him coldly without responding, but from her gradually furrowing brow, it was clear that Brother Liu seemed to have guessed correctly.

"Since it's a deal, let me state my conditions first." Brother Liu said unhurriedly. "I can cover all the medical expenses your mother needs for treatment, hire three people specifically to take care of your mother's daily life, and give her fifty thousand yuan every month to spend freely. Of course, you have a share too. I can give you more—seventy thousand, eighty thousand, even one hundred thousand is possible."

Bai He sneered: "Sorry, but our family affairs don't need your concern."

"Don't be hasty. At least let me finish." Brother Liu helplessly laughed and sighed. "What I want is also very simple. I only want one thing—you."

An unsurprising answer. Bai He snorted coldly, not giving him any good attitude: "Not interested. Please find someone else."

"Really not considering it at all?" Brother Liu slowly narrowed his eyes, his expression gradually darkening.

"Not considering it." Bai He raised her phone again. "I'll say it one more time—please disappear from in front of me immediately, or I'll call the police right now."

"Since you don't plan to make a deal, then I can only consider methods other than dealing."

Brother Liu suddenly showed a sinister smile, saying playfully: "Tangerine, real name Bai He, student in Class 101 of Tianshui No. 1 High School, lost her father in childhood, currently living with her mother at 1097 Fanhua Road, Tianshui District. Am I right?"

Her body trembled violently, and Bai He's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Her identity... had been investigated thoroughly.
