I had planned to pretend nothing happened, so I walked over to Xiaolu and handed the toy to her, saying, “I already washed it.”
But Xiaolu shook her head frantically, directly knocking the pink microphone I held out away from me. The microphone flew straight and landed on the bed where the Prince was sitting.
The Prince glanced at it, then casually picked up the toy.
“Miss Ye Lu, do you have a hobby of singing?”
‘Why this question again!’
“Th-this is hers. Anyway… I just came to return it. I’ve never used it once.”
“Then… I’ll be going now.”
Even though she wanted to stay a while longer with the Prince to satisfy her body’s craving, she didn’t have the face to remain after such a huge misunderstanding. She turned to leave.
But the moment her hand touched the doorknob, her arm was grabbed from behind.
It was the Prince.
‘As expected, he won’t let me escape that easily, will he?’
With a slight pull, she was yanked back.
The Prince didn’t give her time to react.
His arm simply wrapped around her, and Ye Lu, panicking, stumbled uncontrollably into his embrace.
Even then, he didn’t stop. The man actually placed his hand on that… place.
Was he trying to lift her up?
Ye Lu’s eyes widened, her face turning completely red.
Not wanting to let this continue, she clamped her thighs together.
But it turned out the Prince only wanted to carry her. The process was just a bit awkward. After he lifted her onto his lap, he did nothing else.
“…Prince, what’s wrong now?”
“Didn’t you say we weren’t kissing today…”
“What are you…”
When dealing with the Prince, she could never predict his next move.
And in front of so many people…
…Wait, why did the Prince smell so good?
‘No, no! This isn’t the time to be thinking about that!’
Ye Lu struggled to get down, but the Prince was like someone desensitizing a house cat.
The more she struggled, the tighter his arms locked. Gritting his teeth, he breathed heavily with her movements.
He didn’t speak, just resisted her like that.
After a moment, she gave up.
Holding onto the Prince’s shoulders, her sparkling eyes drooped slightly as she stared at him, wondering what new trick he was trying to pull.
He wasn’t going to… kiss her again, was he?
No, that would mean getting pregnant.
Ye Lu’s body went limp. Though she was leaning against his chest, she still raised her index finger uneasily and lightly pressed it against her lips.
Seeing her calm down, the arm around her slender waist finally loosened a little.
He looked up, as if seeking guidance, toward the older sister across from him, who was clenching her fists in anger.
…The sister didn’t speak. She just stared back with a speechless expression.
As if to say, “Is this really okay?”
Seeing the succubus in his arms start struggling again, he seemed to lose patience and directly asked, “Do you think she likes me?”
“How should I know?”
“Can you not say that so bluntly? I’m at least her future sister-in-law. How could I possibly take your side?”
“Use your brain.”
Awkward atmosphere.
The sister’s blunt words actually made Ye Lu feel a little better.
Still, she couldn’t understand how the Prince could have such low emotional intelligence.
To determine if a girl likes you, do you trap her in your arms and then ask someone else?
Wouldn’t it be better to take it slow and get to know her gradually?
‘Sister, even though I thought you were weird when we first met…’
‘You’re still a good person for saying a few words for me.’
?
The next second, she saw the Prince’s sister walk over.
First, she slapped him in the face in exasperation, then she circled her arms around his waist, bent down, and leaned close to Ye Lu, who was still held by the Prince. Her eyes were serious, so close that they could hear each other breathe.
Ye Lu looked away sheepishly, feeling like she was being examined like an object.
“Let her down first.”
“Don’t forget, little sister Ye Lu is a succubus. She’s easy to satisfy. If you treat her well, in a normal way, she’ll eventually…”
Before she could finish, the Prince released his grip.
Ye Lu wasn’t about to miss that chance. She immediately slid off his lap.
Her body was already burning, her face hot. To avoid falling into an even worse state, the moment her feet touched the ground, she rushed to the door, grabbed the handle, and without looking back, fled from that awful environment.
“Should I go after her?”
“…”
“Don’t talk to me.”
.
.
.
On her way back to the dormitory, Ye Lu could barely walk steadily. She had to lean against the wall and move forward step by step, frequently rubbing her thighs together involuntarily.
She stopped and pressed a hand to her chest, which was pounding wildly like a deer’s.
All because of the contact with the Prince, without any satisfaction.
She was incredibly irritated right now.
That hateful, inexplicable burning sensation rose again—something she wanted to expel but couldn’t.
But this wasn’t the first time she felt this resentment; the body of a female succubus was simply like this.
She pushed open the door. Xiya wasn’t asleep yet. She was sitting on a small stool, her feet swinging leisurely, drawing something on the white paper in front of her.
Without looking up, Xiya casually said, “A bit late for returning it, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, a little…”
Ye Lu closed the door, walked over, and tiptoed to pat Keke, who was sound asleep on the top bunk.
Keke must have been truly exhausted today; her slightly swollen belly showed that. She was curled up tightly, but it was clear she was sleeping soundly.
“Mmm…”
Awakened by the pat, Keke rubbed her eyes, propped herself up in a duck-sitting position, and squinted sleepily. Her displeasure was obvious.
Even though Ye Lu knew it was cruel to wake her like this and not let her digest peacefully in her sleep, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. She whispered, “Keke, do you have anything to eat?”
Keke was stunned for a moment, then shook her head like a rattle.
“No!”
“If I try to squeeze anything out, there’s nothing left.”
“I told you earlier to listen to your big brother and learn to hunt for yourself. The Prince is clearly so powerful, yet you still can’t learn…”
“…”
“Who cares about… cousin? You got your fill today.”
“What about tomorrow? Then I’ll be watching to see if your boyfriend still has anything left to squeeze out tomorrow.”
“Speaking of which, I meant food. I haven’t eaten all day. I’m starving.”
“Do you have any snacks hidden like yesterday? Like potato chips?”
“…I see.”
Keke’s tail finally drooped. She crawled to the end of the bed, lifted the mattress, and, with the rustling sound of a plastic bag, handed a sealed bag of chips to Ye Lu.
“Here you go.”
Keke pulled back her glossy lips, still stained with lipstick, and smiled. “Eat them.”
“As your big brother, how could I be stingy with my little sister?”
“Mm…”
She really was hungry, even though she had eaten lunch.
Ye Lu took the chips, but instead of leaving, she tore the bag open right in front of Keke. She stuffed the torn wrapper into her skirt pocket, then tremblingly dipped her fingers in and tremblingly picked up a chip…
“Ye Lu… Xiya, she…”
“Don’t talk.”
The chip was covered in seasoning. Ye Lu rubbed it, and some powder fell back into the bag. It clearly didn’t look tasteless.
But just as the flame of joy sparked, it was ruthlessly crushed by reality.
When she put it in her mouth…
Apart from the bitter taste of tea, there was indeed no flavor. She could only feel the crisp texture of the chip.
No way. It still tasted awful.
She wanted to cry.
Broken me, stop breathing.
“Cousin, can you taste anything?”
She asked hesitantly, then stared at Keke with hopeful expectation, hoping for a decent answer.
“I can taste it.”
“Then why… I…”
Keke smiled forgivingly, squinting at her with the gaze of someone looking at a naive child.
She was the type who enjoyed explaining things to others, especially her younger siblings.
Instantly losing all desire to sleep, she sat up and started chattering.
“Hehe, you’re not used to it, right? Don’t worry, because your big brother here was the same at first.”
“But there is a prerequisite to making it taste good.”
“Tell me.”
“First, you have to satisfy your basic needs.”
“?”
“Ordinary food actually doesn’t provide much help to us.”
“Besides… if a succubus only eats normal people’s food and doesn’t hunt, her nutrition will be lacking.”
“And if nutrition is lacking, everything you eat will taste like nothing.”
“Why is that?”
“I don’t know. Mom told me.”
“So what I mean is, if you don’t have sex… no matter how much you force yourself to eat, it’s useless.”
“After a long time, you’ll even starve to death.”
“Starve to death?”
Ye Lu shuddered.
She had lived in the clan for eighteen years since she was a child and had never seen a female succubus die that way.
How could that even be possible?
Keke patted her head with a motherly look.
“Just one spoonful a day is enough. You don’t have to use your mouth. The Prince… should have more than enough.”
“You’re not joking, are you?”
Ye Lu felt utterly hopeless. She had imagined the worst possible future, but maybe she had still been too conservative.
…
Late night.
Because of the contact with the Prince, it was destined to be another sleepless night of tossing and turning.
So much time had passed, yet her mind was still replaying her cousin’s words.
Every day…
Otherwise, she would end up like today.
If she didn’t see the Prince, she felt like a lost soul, utterly listless.
Not to mention concentrating on class; even while walking, her eyes were unfocused and her mind was elsewhere.
After a long time, she would even starve to death…
