Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 72 : Beautiful Miracle

"Be good, listen, quickly drink this blood."

Bringing the back of her hand to Xifeng's lips, Bei Yaoyue felt the blood was flowing too slowly, so she squeezed the surrounding area with her hand to speed up the blood flow.

"No... don't do this..." Her nose stinging as if choked by onions, Xifeng struggled to shake her head, "It's useless. You're only pointlessly harming your own body. Go stop the bleeding quickly..."

Regardless of whether this would work, even if it really did work, Xifeng couldn't bear to let Bei Yaoyue harm herself like this.

After speaking, Xifeng tightly closed her mouth, using her actions to express her protest.

"Whether you drink or not, I won't stop." Bei Yaoyue smiled. When it came to stubbornness, she had never feared anyone in her life. Once she decided on something, no one could change it.

Bei Yaoyue held firm, and Xifeng refused to back down. She still kept her lips tightly pressed together, determined to compete with Bei Yaoyue to the end.

Because the wound wasn't deep, the platelets in the cut area on the back of her hand soon coagulated, and the blood flow slowed down accordingly.

Xifeng's eyes trembled as she watched Bei Yaoyue make another cut not far from the previous wound.

At that moment, Xifeng understood that Bei Yaoyue was absolutely serious. The psychological defense line she had been desperately maintaining finally collapsed completely. She was so heartbroken she almost cried, shouting with an unstoppable sobbing voice: "I'll drink! I'll drink!..."

When it came to stubbornness, she ultimately lost to Bei Yaoyue, whom three bulls couldn't pull back.

"Good."

Opening her mouth, Xifeng let the familiar-tasting blood flow into her throat and swallowed it. A warm current spread from inside her body to her limbs, bringing some long-lost warmth to her already ice-cold body.

"So this is how blood tastes to a vampire..."

Feeling the sensation shared from Xifeng's side, Bei Yaoyue was somewhat moved. Being able to taste how blood tastes to a vampire was probably a rare life experience.

Sweet, like watermelon juice? But also somewhat like watermelon-flavored sparkling water. Bei Yaoyue thought for a long time but couldn't find anything in her memory that matched the taste exactly.

To prevent injury to muscles and bones, Bei Yaoyue didn't dare make too deep cuts on her hand, so the blood stopped flowing quite quickly. But without any hesitation, she made another shallow cut nearby.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth cuts...

When Bei Yaoyue made the seventh cut without changing expression, Xifeng finally cried from heartache.

"Stop it, Bei Yaoyue!" she sobbed, feeling as if each cut was like a knife to her own heart. "Please don't hurt yourself anymore!"

But Xifeng's pleas were directly ignored by Bei Yaoyue. If her own blood could really restore Xifeng's body, what did she have to be stingy about?

Seeing that Bei Yaoyue had no intention of giving up, Xifeng could only swallow Bei Yaoyue's blood with tears in her eyes, extremely reluctantly.

Thinking that every drop of blood she drank came from Bei Yaoyue harming herself, Xifeng felt such heartache she could barely breathe.

The eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth cuts...

Xifeng no longer knew how much blood Bei Yaoyue had fed her. She only knew that the dizziness from blood loss shared from Bei Yaoyue's side had almost made her faint.

"Thud."

Having finally reached her body's limit, Bei Yaoyue could no longer support her own body. Her body swayed and she collapsed onto Xifeng.

"Bei Yaoyue!"

Xifeng called Bei Yaoyue's name in terror, frantically trying to get up, but her stiff body only allowed her to barely move her fingers a few times.

She gritted her teeth, using all her will and mobilizing every bit of strength she could muster, finally lifting that small hand to gently grasp Bei Yaoyue's hand.

From the back of her hand to her arm, those shocking scars were the traces of what Bei Yaoyue had sacrificed for her.

"Bei Yaoyue..."

This was the last word Bei Yaoyue heard before falling into unconsciousness.

"Where... is this...?"

Opening her eyes, she saw only pitch blackness. Bei Yaoyue looked around in confusion but could see nothing. As far as the eye could see, there was no end—no matter which direction she looked, there was only heart-palpitating blackness.

In this space composed of endless darkness, all she could see was her own body.

She tried to move her body but felt as if she were in a pitch-black deep sea, with enormous water pressure making even breathing difficult, and moving her limbs extremely strenuous.

"Xifeng...?" Bei Yaoyue called out in panic. Even in this environment, the first person to appear in her mind was still this person she thought about day and night.

As if heaven had answered her call, the next second, Xifeng's figure really appeared before her, but like an unconscious drowning person, she was slowly sinking downward without any support.

"Xifeng!"

Like a madwoman, Bei Yaoyue desperately tried to grab the figure before her, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't touch that figure. She could only watch helplessly as Xifeng sank toward the seabed.

Sinking deeper and deeper, finally swallowed by darkness and disappearing from sight.

"Xifeng!!!!"

Letting out a hysterical roar, Bei Yaoyue suddenly sat up from the bed. What met her eyes was a somewhat unfamiliar bedroom.

"...A dream?"

Recalling the scene from the dream, Bei Yaoyue still felt shaken. Only then did she realize she had broken out in a cold sweat, and the bangs on her forehead were also soaked with perspiration.

"Bei Yaoyue, you're awake!"

Soon, Xifeng's surprised voice reached her ears. She turned to look and saw Xifeng's pale cheeks, her face showing overflowing joy. Although she didn't look particularly healthy, at least she no longer had that sickly feeling from before.

"Xifeng...?" Bei Yaoyue stared blankly at that exquisite face, her voice still mixed with disbelief. "Is your body okay now?"

"Mm, basically fine." Xifeng nodded heavily. "Although I still feel slightly uncomfortable, I've recovered about eighty to ninety percent."

As if awakening from a dream, Bei Yaoyue suddenly reached out with both hands, desperately embracing her neck and pulling that petite figure into her arms.

"Mmm..." Being hugged too forcefully by Bei Yaoyue, with her breathing obstructed, Xifeng couldn't help but let out a soft moan. "Bei Yaoyue, lighter..."

Even though she had made sounds of discomfort, Bei Yaoyue seemed completely unaware, instead tightening her grip even more, as if the person before her would completely disappear the moment she let go.

"Thank goodness... really thank goodness..." Pressing against Xifeng's cheek, Bei Yaoyue spoke softly in a choked voice. "I almost lost you..."
