Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

Chapter 212: Chapter 121: Rosaline! Let Me Explain! I Really Didn’t Do Anything to Your Niece...

Roxia quickly reached out, gently covering Su Xuan’s mouth. In a low voice, she pleaded, "Please, don’t make a sound."

"..."

Though Su Xuan was a bit confused by Roxia’s actions, he silently complied.

Just as he was about to remind Roxia that her bath towel had fallen, he suddenly realized how intimate their position was. Roxia’s neck was only a few centimeters away. All he had to do was open his mouth slightly to easily pierce her skin and taste that sweet blood.

The thought sent a tremor through Su Xuan, but his rational mind screamed at him to stay calm. He fought to suppress the urge. ’This isn’t something I can do.’

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his emotions.

’Resist!’

Roxia, oblivious to the change in Su Xuan, continued explaining to Rosaline, "I’m fine, Aunt."

"Your Curse flared up, didn’t it?" Rosaline asked directly.

"Mm... I’ll find a way to deal with it. Don’t worry, Aunt," Roxia replied.

"Did our conversation before bed cause your emotions to fluctuate, triggering the Curse?" Rosaline’s voice continued. "Sorry, I don’t really understand these things. If you want an answer, I can ask the President for you. He probably knows more about matters of the heart..."

"Don’t! Don’t say any more!"

Roxia hurriedly cut Rosaline off, horrified that Su Xuan would overhear the entire private conversation between her and her aunt.

"Aunt, I..." She was about to find an excuse to send Rosaline away so Su Xuan could leave first.

But her words died in her throat. To her astonishment, Roxia saw that Su Xuan’s eyes had turned unnervingly strange. They looked as if they were coated in blood, and his unblinking stare sent a chill down her spine.

"Su... Su Xuan?" Roxia’s voice trembled as she involuntarily took a step back.

The man before her was terrifying. A feral light shone in his eyes, and his breathing came in ragged gasps, like a predator about to pounce on its prey.

Roxia’s heart pounded in her chest. ’Is he being affected by my Curse?’ she wondered.

’Could he really be a Demon Beast in human form?’

Before she could figure it out, Su Xuan lunged at her, pinning her to the ground.

He sank his teeth into her neck, sharp fangs piercing her delicate skin as he began to greedily drink her blood!

"It hurts...!"

Roxia could feel the sharp pain shooting from her neck. She bit her lip, trying to stifle a cry of pain.

The slight noise immediately alerted Rosaline outside. She kicked the bathroom door open.

But the scene before her made Rosaline freeze.

She couldn’t understand why Su Xuan and Roxia were in the bathroom together, and to her confusion, they were simply standing there quietly.

Su Xuan grew tense as Rosaline burst in. Fortunately, at the very instant his teeth had pierced Roxia’s skin, he had managed to restrain his impulse to drink her blood.

Still, he had tasted a hint of it. Her blood was exceptionally sweet, like the most perfect strawberry.

"What are you two doing in the bathroom?"

Rosaline looked questioningly at Roxia, her eyes filled with confusion.

"N-Nothing." Roxia shook her head, her eyes darting away to avoid Rosaline’s scrutinizing gaze. "Mr. Su Xuan is helping me suppress my Curse."

"I see." Rosaline turned to Su Xuan, showing a surprising lack of suspicion.

"Well, carry on. I won’t disturb you."

With that, she left the bathroom, snatching the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly out of the air as it tried to fly in.

"Ahem. My apologies. I’ve been afflicted by a Curse of my own lately, and it’s difficult to control."

’Judging by the few times I’ve been unable to resist the urge to drink blood, I have to find a way to manage this craving, and soon. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire.’

"It’s okay. I understand."

Roxia gently shook her head, her expression understanding. In her eyes, he was just like her—someone tormented by a Curse. Because of that, she felt a great deal of sympathy for him.

"I’ll get going then," Su Xuan said with a small smile, turning to leave the bathroom.

Just then, however, Roxia spoke up. "Mr. Su Xuan, have you noticed that my Curse seems to have weakened a little?"

"Hm?" Su Xuan paused, then sniffed the air. The scent of the Curse on Roxia had indeed faded considerably.

’Could it be that drinking some of her blood caused her Curse to weaken?’

Since Roxia’s Curse was indeed rooted in her bloodline, the theory seemed quite plausible.

"Does that mean... you can suppress the effects of my Curse by drinking my blood?" Roxia speculated, a hint of hope in her voice.

"It’s possible, but I can’t guarantee it."

"Then..." A flicker of longing appeared in Roxia’s aquamarine eyes. "Could we... try it again?"

Su Xuan fell silent for a moment at her request before answering, "Alright."

"Please... be gentle." Roxia swept her long, Golden hair from her shoulders, tilting her head to the side and exposing her snow-white neck. Trembling slightly, she closed her eyes, bracing herself for the pain to come.

"Ahem."

Su Xuan cleared his throat. "Actually," he said to Roxia, "it doesn’t have to be the neck. Other places would work, too."

’The blood flow is better from the neck, but if this is just a test, it might not be necessary to bite her there.’

’Besides, I could sense her intense pain when my fangs pierced her vein just now.’

’It’s probably due to the blessing from the White Rose Ceremony, which increases pain Perception by 100%.’

"Then where?" Roxia asked, looking confused.

"How about your finger?" Su Xuan suggested.

"My finger?" Roxia hesitated, glancing down at her hand. As a Knight, she cherished the hand that wielded her sword and didn’t want it injured.

"If not your finger, then... a toe?" Su Xuan asked, the strange suggestion slipping out before he could stop it.

"A toe? Absolutely not! They get so sweaty, there’s no way!" Roxia waved her hands frantically. ’A Knight’s feet are always encased in Iron Boots, and as a Law Enforcement Knight, I’m constantly active. How could I possibly let Mr. Su Xuan...’

"Your finger it is, then."

After a moment’s hesitation, Roxia extended her hand.

Su Xuan gently took her hand, settled on her index finger, and bit down softly.

"Ngh..."

Roxia bit her lip and let out a soft, nasal cry.

Because the pain was doubled, her reaction was even more intense than the Elf Queen’s. The sharp pain from her fingertip made her instinctively squeeze her thighs together and lean forward.

Fortunately, Su Xuan caught her by the waist just in time, preventing her from falling.

As Su Xuan drank her blood—not a large amount—he could feel Roxia’s Curse genuinely weakening.

At the same time, a prompt appeared in his vision.

[Bloodthirsty (Active): All Attributes +270% (3 min)]

[The Blood Curse of the True Vampire Ancestor has been temporarily suppressed. Your desire for fresh blood is diminished. (24H)]

’It’s suppressed just like that?’

Su Xuan saw the prompt, and his gaze flickered slightly.

’I can’t believe just a few dozen milliliters of blood can suppress my craving.’

Additionally, Roxia’s Curse was also showing signs of suppression.

Su Xuan immediately checked Roxia’s status bar.

[Demon Liquid Fragrance: Curse Suppressed (Five Days)]

’Oh?’

Su Xuan couldn’t hide his surprise when he saw the Status of her Curse. ’Just one drink of her blood suppresses it for five days? That’s way more convenient than bathing three times a day.’

"M... Mr. Su Xuan..."

Just then, Roxia’s soft voice sounded in Su Xuan’s ear.

Su Xuan snapped back to his senses. His gaze shifted from the status bar to Roxia, and he realized he was holding her slender waist tightly with one hand, his other palm firmly gripping her soft, pale chest.

The soft sensation made him instinctively give it a squeeze...

The motion made Roxia’s cheeks flush a deep crimson, so tender and red it looked as if they might bleed.

"An accident..."

Just as Su Xuan was about to let go of Roxia, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open...
