Chapter 17 : Wow, Golden Legend
Chapter 17 : Wow, Golden Legend
Xifeng was completely stunned, momentarily unable to believe her own ears.
She hadn't heard wrong, had she?
This damn Bei Yaoyue actually agreed?
Having almost never imagined that Bei Yaoyue would agree readily, Xifeng was instead at a loss, until a slightly annoyed voice reached her ears: "Do you want me to carry you or not? If not, forget it."
"Yes yes yes!" The awakened Xifeng quickly replied. If Bei Yaoyue got angry and changed her mind, who would she cry to?
She turned to look at Bei Yaoyue, only to find that Bei Yaoyue had turned her head to the other side, leaving her only with shoulder-length straight black hair dancing gently in the chaotic wind.
Although she couldn't see her facial expression, based on Bei Yaoyue's slightly angry voice from before, Xifeng could roughly guess what kind of expression Bei Yaoyue had right now—definitely very displeased.
"Hold this." Her voice somewhat stiff, Bei Yaoyue handed over the umbrella. "You hold it."
After Xifeng took it, Bei Yaoyue turned her back to Xifeng and slowly crouched down.
Her small back seemed as steady and reliable as a mountain at this moment.
Having reached this point, Xifeng hesitated instead, not daring to move forward.
After all, having a fifteen-year-old girl carry her was really embarrassing...
"Hurry up." Bei Yaoyue urged.
At an angle Xifeng couldn't see, her beautiful eyes blinked lightly, her expression cold and composed, but her heart was a complex mix of feelings.
What was wrong with her?
If it were the usual her, she would never do something like carrying someone else. She wouldn't even make contact with any person she didn't need to contact.
But after encountering Xifeng, she had done many things one after another that seemed completely incomprehensible to her.
While still lost in thought, a soft object gently lay on her back, and two small hands also wrapped around her neck, immediately startling her.
So light.
Holding onto Xifeng's thighs, Bei Yaoyue stood up, but was slightly dazed.
Completely different from what she had expected, the person on her back brought her almost no pressure at all.
She estimated that Xifeng might not even be as heavy as her backpack full of books.
Walking slowly forward, she couldn't help but ask: "How much do you weigh?"
"I don't know either..." Xifeng replied softly, her disordered voice revealing that her heart was not calm.
At this moment, she was so embarrassed she wanted to jump directly off Bei Yaoyue's back and run as far away as possible, but her reason still stopped her.
Soft hair strands lifted by the wind brushed against her cheek, bringing an unbearable itchy sensation. Bei Yaoyue's breathing, which had become somewhat heavier, constantly echoed in her ears, and a gardenia-like fresh fragrance lingered around her nose, making her somewhat dizzy and confused.
It smells so good. Where does this scent come from?
There's a saying that girls are naturally born with a kind of body fragrance, though Xifeng had always thought that most girls' body fragrance came from shampoo or laundry detergent.
She had never carried another girl before, yet Bei Yaoyue had gotten there first and carried her instead, which really made her feel somewhat ashamed and indignant.
She wasn't wrong—it was all the system's fault.
"I think you're at most thirty kilograms." Bei Yaoyue gave her tactile assessment.
"How could that be? That's way too light..." Xifeng laughed awkwardly. Thirty kilograms was too exaggerated, right?
But thinking about it carefully, she couldn't laugh anymore, and the rest of her words got stuck in her throat.
Forget about muscle—she could barely find any excess fat on her body. She figured that with her skeletal frame that was almost just skin and bones, weighing less than thirty kilograms wasn't impossible.
Fortunately, although this body that Lillian had created was small and thin, its proportions were extremely perfect. At first glance, one would only see delicate frailty without the feeling of being skin and bones, far superior to those "chopstick spirits" who were only thin.
"How did you survive with this kind of constitution?" Bei Yaoyue was full of questions.
A vampire who lived by sucking human blood, yet whose physical constitution was comparable to a human infant.
How did such a hunter, weaker than its prey, survive?
"Haha..." Xifeng continued to laugh it off. Regarding her previous experiences, she adhered to the principle of trying to muddle through if possible rather than answering, since her background contained too many unexplainable bugs.
In their sporadic conversation, the three kilometers passed quickly.
Coming out of the elevator and returning to their front door, Bei Yaoyue put Xifeng down, closed her eyes and took a long breath, finally relaxing her tense muscles.
Although Xifeng wasn't heavy, she was after all only a fifteen-year-old girl. Such high-intensity physical exertion still left her somewhat fatigued.
Standing on one foot, continuing to pretend her ankle was sprained, Xifeng showed a sincere smile and said to Bei Yaoyue: "Thank you for this time."
Whether from the perspective of Bei Yaoyue carrying her home or from the perspective of helping her complete the task, she had to give this thanks.
Pausing in her movements, Bei Yaoyue opened the door and said without looking back: "No need for thanks."
After speaking, without caring about Xifeng still standing outside the door, she walked toward her own room by herself, leaving only one sentence for Xifeng: "Go lie on the bed and rest properly."
Closing the bedroom door, Bei Yaoyue fell onto the bed with a thud, burying her entire head in the soft blankets.
Her heart was very confused.
When carrying Xifeng, her heart beat faster than any time before.
Perhaps it was because carrying someone consumed physical strength, so her heart had to beat faster to supply more energy and oxygen to her body's tissues.
But she felt this wasn't the main reason.
There should be another more important reason that she couldn't think of... or perhaps, didn't want to think about.
After thinking for a long time, she emerged from the blankets and took out her phone to dial a number.
"Moshi moshi, Kisaragi Ichika desu (Hello? This is Kisaragi Ichika)."
"...Mom, it's me." Bei Yaoyue was speechless. When would her mom fix her habit of not checking caller ID before answering?
"Yueyue!?" A surprised voice came from the other end. "You actually called me first. Mom is so moved."
The person on the other end was named Kisaragi Ichika, her biological mother.
Even though she was talking to her mother, her voice couldn't soften at all: "I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it? Just say it. Mom will try her best to satisfy you."
"It's just..."

"Bang bang bang."
Xifeng knocked on Bei Yaoyue's door. Soon, Bei Yaoyue's voice came from inside: "What is it?"
"It's past eleven. How should we handle lunch? I still have some ingredients at my place. If you don't mind, I could..."
"Let's order takeout."
"But we could cook. There's no need to order takeout..."
"Order takeout." Her voice was full of determination and brooked no argument. "Order me a cheese fruit pizza."
"Alright..." Knowing she couldn't change Bei Yaoyue's mind, Xifeng had to give up.
Returning to the living room, Xifeng opened "Ele.me" on her phone, went to "Pizza Hut" to order the pizza Bei Yaoyue requested, then began searching for her own food.
Mao Xue Wang... hmm, looks pretty good. Maybe it could substitute for human blood as food.[TN: Blood curd from a duck, tripe, and chicken gizzards along with other organs into a simmered broth containing chilis and peppercorns ]
Twenty yuan per serving. You're the one. Order placed.
Xifeng stretched and collapsed on the sofa, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Living with a beautiful girl sounded nice, but Bei Yaoyue locked herself in her room all day long. It wasn't much different from living alone.
It was just changing her residence from her own home to Bei Yaoyue's home.
"Oh right, the task!"
Xifeng slapped her forehead. How could she forget about this?
The task should have been completed halfway through the walk, but at the time she was on Bei Yaoyue's back holding an umbrella, so it wasn't convenient to use her phone. She got delayed and forgot about it.
Opening the system, there was indeed a Legendary Gacha Ticket lying in the warehouse.
"My turn, duel!"
Shouting a strange slogan, Xifeng raised her right hand, extended her index finger, and tapped on the gacha on the screen.
Immediately golden light blazed, turning the entire living room yellow and nearly blinding her eyes, accompanied by a majestic voice: "Wow! Golden Legend!"
Immediately Xifeng felt refreshed. As expected of an old lucky player—drawing cards always meant hitting the jackpot.
A moment later, the golden light faded, and she looked expectantly at her phone screen.
"[Pink Flower Tea]
Grade: Golden Legend
Description: Tea brewed from petals of some unknown pink flower, colorless and tasteless
Effect: Oral consumption. After taking, sensitivity and arousal will increase to five times the original values for one hour (effect calculated based on consuming 200ml), and greatly suppresses the increase of shame.
Remaining dosage: 1000ml."
Seeing this inexplicable item, Xifeng was so shocked her small hands trembled and her phone almost slipped from her grasp.
What the hell was this thing? Computer accessories!?
What use would she have for such a thing!
Even ten yuan would be enough to buy a milk tea and drink it happily. Giving her this thing—was she supposed to drug Bei Yaoyue?
"Damn it, trash system! Get lost!"
With an angry curse, the thoroughly annoyed Xifeng directly threw her phone forcefully onto the sofa.

At the dining table.
Bei Yaoyue bit into her pizza, carefully savoring the sweet and sour taste of coconut and the salty fragrance of cheese.
Inadvertently glancing at the bowl of red stuff across from her, Bei Yaoyue's appetite immediately plummeted, and the pizza in her mouth suddenly didn't taste good anymore.
"Looks disgusting." Bei Yaoyue couldn't help but complain.
"It really does." Xifeng gave an awkward laugh.
Actually, she had never eaten such seemingly nauseating food before either. It was only after becoming a vampire that she decided to try it.
As it turned out, Mao Xue Wang could surprisingly provide her with a feeling of satiety, and the satiety level in the system was steadily rising. This was undoubtedly good news—she wouldn't need to risk sucking human blood.
Staring at the coconut pieces on her pizza in a daze, Bei Yaoyue thought for a long time, secretly glanced at Xifeng, and said as if nothing had happened: "Let me ask you a question."
Swallowing a big piece of duck blood, Xifeng opened her small mouth, which had been stained bright red by the Mao Xue Wang, and asked: "What question?"
"Would you like to have an older sister?"
