After saying goodbye to Vivianna and Qianmeng, Lilith arrived at Bai Lili’s door. Standing outside, she could hear Bai Lili’s cries of distress. Hearing the screams, Lilith immediately pushed the door open and spoke.
“What’s wrong, Lili?”
Entering the room, Lilith saw the following scene: Bai Lili was wearing a lace nightgown. Her fluffy tail seemed to be dampened by some liquid. Her face looked disheveled. The bedsheet beneath her and the blanket covering her also appeared to be wet. Her nightgown was askew, revealing some of her skin.
Seeing Lilith burst into her room, Bai Lili blushed and shouted loudly.
“Get out! Now!”
Hearing Bai Lili’s words, Lilith scratched her head, put on an innocent expression, turned around, and left, waiting for Bai Lili outside the door.
Standing outside the door, Lilith thought to herself, ‘Last night in the illusion was definitely too much.’ Just as Lilith was standing guard at the door, her sensitive ears picked up Bai Lili’s voice from inside.
“How strange. I think I had a… naughty dream. Ugh, my body feels like it was hit by a truck.”
“Can a dream really cause such a physical reaction? Whatever, I should get dressed first. Seriously, so many things are wet.”
Listening secretly at the door, Lilith relaxed and patted her modest chest.
“Phew, thank goodness Lili doesn’t remember anything. Otherwise, my favorability would have dropped.”
“Right, System, what’s Lili’s current favorability towards me?”
The system in Lilith’s mind was silent for a moment.
[Bai Lili’s favorability towards the Host is 60. This means Bai Lili considers you a good friend, but you are still 20 points away from being considered a lover.]
Lilith rubbed her chin outside, seemingly contemplating her next move in the ‘conquest.’ She didn’t want to rely too much on the system. After all, if the system ever turned against her one day, she wouldn’t be too affected.
Just as Lilith was still deep in thought, Bai Lili pushed the door open and came out. She was wearing a white dress. Her fox tail didn’t seem as perky as usual and was damp with an unknown liquid, making it look less smooth.
Bai Lili walked out with a slight limp. Seeing Lilith staring at her, her face, which had just lost its blush, turned red again.
“W-what are you looking at? Stop staring.” Bai Lili put her hands in front of Lilith’s eyes, trying to block that “I know, I understand everything” gaze.
Lilith grinned mischievously.
“It’s okay, Lili. I understand these things~” Unbeknownst to her, the culprit was right in front of her, still trying to clear her own name.
Bai Lili’s cheeks flushed red, and steam seemed to rise from the top of her head.
“Don’t you dare go around telling people.”
Lilith smiled and nodded. Looking at the smiling Lilith, Bai Lili didn’t feel very reassured, but there was nothing she could do. She could only hope Lilith would keep this secret.
Of course, Lilith wouldn’t tell anyone either, since she was the culprit. But she still wished for more opportunities like this. After all, she could have zero-distance contact with Bai Lili without losing favorability.
Of course, Lilith was just thinking about it. If it happened every day, Bai Lili’s body probably couldn’t handle it.
And so, Lilith helped the limping Bai Lili to a courtyard. Although the area outside the castle was desolate, there was a beautiful garden here, seemingly still tended to with care.
In the middle of the courtyard was a stone table with several stone chairs. On the table were foods prepared by Qianmeng: cake, fruit, and black tea.
Bai Lili and Lilith sat on the stone chairs, ready to enjoy lunch. Bai Lili shakily picked up her knife and fork, her hands trembling nonstop. Seeing this, Lilith realized an opportunity had arrived.
She went to Bai Lili’s side, helped her tie on a napkin, picked up a spoon, and scooped a small piece of cake.
“Here, Lili, say ‘ah’~”
Bai Lili’s brain short-circuited, not knowing what to do. By the time she reacted, the spoon was already at her lips. She could only open her mouth.
“Ah~”
Bai Lili ate the cake and mumbled with her mouth full.
“Lilith, do you shtill have mow tests to take?”
Lilith nodded and said to Bai Lili.
“Don’t worry, I still have two more trials. Once I pass them, I’ll take you home.”
That’s what she said, but deep down, Lilith kind of hoped to stay here a bit longer. After all, there were no love rivals here, no that dragon who’s always causing trouble… what was its name again? Lilith couldn’t remember.
Plus, there was a top-tier wingman here. Although she hadn’t raised Lili’s favorability much, Lilith herself had truly gotten a taste of the ‘meat’ and learned a lot of forbidden knowledge.
Lilith believed she would use all this knowledge on Bai Lili in the future. It’s just not the right time yet. There were still two love rivals outside, so she couldn’t act recklessly. She could only raise the favorability here for now.
After being fed, Bai Lili was full and content. She wanted to rest for a while, but after touching her tail, she felt she really needed to take a bath.
So, with Lilith’s support, Bai Lili arrived at the castle’s bathhouse. Inside, the bath was filled with mist. Bai Lili removed her clothes, ready to take a proper bath.
Lilith proactively offered to stand guard outside. After all, Lilith was afraid she might not be able to control herself and ‘eat’ Bai Lili, causing the favorability to drop to zero. That would ruin everything.
While Bai Lili was still bathing, Lilith, having nothing to do, let her eyes wander. She could vaguely see Bai Lili scrubbing her body. After watching for a while, Lilith felt she shouldn’t keep looking, so she turned her head and saw Bai Lili’s clothes placed in a basket.
Lilith warned herself internally.
‘Lilith, you can’t be this perverted, sniffing Lili’s underwear too.’
But it was as if another voice inside her was telling her.
‘It’s just a sniff. As long as Lili doesn’t find out, it’s fine.’
Like a demon’s whisper, it lingered in Lilith’s ears. Lilith thought it made sense and nodded. It was just smelling Lili’s clothes, a necessary measure to check if Lili was sick.
And so, Lilith gently convinced herself and slowly approached the basket holding the clothes. She looked down inside and found a cute little blue-and-white striped garment. Lilith just curiously leaned in for a look, then placed it back with a faint smile.
In the bath, Bai Lili was humming a cheerful little tune, happily washing herself, looking particularly pleased.
After finishing her bath, Bai Lili stepped out of the pool. She first went to the steps and carefully wrung out her fluffy, large tail—when wet, it became heavy like a big water bag, which was quite troublesome.
After her bath, Bai Lili felt much more relaxed all over. Although there was still a slight ache, her mood was excellent. Changing back into her clothes, she saw Lilith preparing to go in for a bath and said with a smile, “I’ll go out for a walk then. Take your time~”
Bai Lili decided to take this opportunity to properly explore the castle.
After all, opportunities must be seized by oneself. These past few days, she had just been eating and sleeping, making no improvements. Lilith had received an opportunity from Vivianna, Qing Hanyin and Su Ruo had also gained something. Only she remained the same as before.
Bai Lili clenched her small fist, secretly determined in her heart: She couldn’t keep being a little princess who only knew how to act cute. It was time to work hard and become stronger! In the future, she wanted to advance side by side with everyone!
Bai Lili explored the castle’s corridors. Most rooms were locked and inaccessible. Just as she was at a loss, she saw an open wooden door.
It stood out from the surrounding atmosphere, exuding a very mysterious and dangerous aura.
Bai Lili’s intuition told her she shouldn’t go in there, but her curiosity drove her to take a look. Bai Lili wondered if she should call Lilith and also inform Vivianna.
Just as Bai Lili was still hesitating, four iron chains shot out from inside the door, dragging her in. Before Bai Lili could even react, the wooden door had already closed shut.
The chains separately bound Bai Lili’s limbs, powerfully restraining her. Bai Lili couldn’t even struggle.
Over at Vivianna’s side, Qianmeng poured black tea for Vivianna. Qianmeng spoke slowly.
“Master, are you really not going to help Miss Bai Lili?”
Vivianna looked at the crystal ball in front of her. The crystal ball was still showing the scene of Bai Lili being forcibly dragged into the door. Vivianna tapped the crystal ball twice with her finger, a playful smile on her face. Finding it quite interesting, she waved her hand at Qianmeng.
“Don’t mind her. Don’t worry, there’s no life danger. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to Lilith.”
Qianmeng looked at her master. Seeing her behave like this, she knew her master was in the mood to watch some entertainment.
But it was indeed as her master said. There was truly no life danger in this situation for Bai Lili. She might even find her own opportunity.
She remembered that behind this door seemed to be a fox mask. Its specific effects, Vivianna had never told her.
Vivianna only told her it was a cursed item, and its level seemed quite high. Originally, it should have been part of a set with several other pieces of equipment, but for unknown reasons, they were scattered.
Now, only this one fox mask remained in this Blood Clan castle.
Vivianna, however, was very interested, her tone carrying the particular delight of someone who loves drama.
“To think that mask would choose its own master.”
Vivianna seemed to think of something and smirked.
“I wonder if Lilith will like this big gift I’m giving her.”
