Lilith realized she had already bound a soul and found herself at a loss. This meant she had indeed made such a contract with someone in a past life. Suddenly, life felt meaningless.
Then, a pattern appeared on the back of Lilith’s hand. The pattern looked a bit lewd to Lilith.
Meanwhile, Bai Lili, who was lying in the living room, felt an itch near the lower part of her belly. She scratched it, but something felt off. The spot began to burn slightly.
‘This definitely isn’t normal,’ Bai Lili thought. She sneaked a peek by lifting her shirt. The sight left her stunned. She stared at her lower abdomen in disbelief.
A pattern had appeared there. At its center was a heart, flanked by bat wings as decorations. It looked… like something only the heroine in a lewd doujinshi would have.
Seeing the bat wings, Bai Lili suddenly thought of Lilith, who had been acting mysterious lately, tinkering with something. Still, she had to ask if this was related to her.
Bai Lili stood up immediately. She needed to ask right away. If Lilith wasn’t behind this, then she really was about to become the heroine of a lewd doujinshi.
Bai Lili quickly walked to Lilith’s bedroom door and knocked. Lilith opened the door in no time. Bai Lili slipped inside and locked the door behind her.
Lilith, seeing Bai Lili’s demeanor, wondered what she had done to upset her. Bai Lili, sensing Lilith’s puzzled look, suppressed her embarrassment, lifted her shirt to reveal the pattern on her lower abdomen, and pointed at the lewd design, her cheeks flushing red enough to drip blood as she demanded, “Li… Lilith! Is this your doing?”
Lilith looked at Bai Lili’s smooth belly, where the same pattern as the one on her hand was printed. However, Bai Lili’s pattern was in a far more suggestive position, like some kind of kink.
Lilith had to admit it was indeed lewd. Coupled with Bai Lili’s current reaction, Lilith said earnestly, “Lili, this might… perhaps… probably be a misunderstanding.”
Bai Lili also spotted the pattern on Lilith’s hand and noticed it was similar to the one on her belly. She lowered her shirt and pointed at Lilith, “You! Putting something like this on me? Just wait until I teach you a lesson.”
With that, she prepared to put on her mask and transform into Super Saiyan Fox to give Lilith a beating, but Lilith stopped her first.
Lilith wrapped her arms around Bai Lili’s arm, her gaze sincere and her eyes watery, “Lili, hear me out.”
Bai Lili looked at Lilith’s expression and decided to give her a chance to explain. “Fine. Let’s see what you have to say.”
Seeing that she had successfully calmed Bai Lili down, Lilith spoke earnestly, her tone devoid of any hesitation or lies. “Lili, I actually used a soul contract from our Blood Clan. This thing carries over through soul reincarnation. That means you were my wife in your past life.”
Then Lilith added, “This magic circle only activates when both parties agree.”
Lilith nodded, fully convinced by her own words. In truth, she wasn’t lying, and she was inwardly overjoyed. She never expected the person she had already bound to be Lili.
This situation also suggested that Bai Lili and Lilith might have been lovers in their past life. Plus, she now knew she had been a Blood Clan member in her past life, likely of high status—after all, someone lower wouldn’t have access to this magic circle.
Lilith knew this magic circle was originally used for tracking one’s spouse across reincarnations. High-ranking Blood Clan members lived nearly immortal lives. But if a Blood Clan member fell in love with a short-lived species, they could use this circle to link their souls, easily locate their wife’s reincarnation, and efficiently pursue and reunite with them.
Hearing Lilith’s words, Bai Lili realized that she really had been Lilith’s lover in one lifetime. And Lilith’s tone didn’t seem like a lie. Still, having that pattern on her belly wasn’t ideal.
So Bai Lili asked, “Lilith, can this pattern be removed or made to disappear?”
Bai Lili definitely didn’t want the other two roommates to ever see this thing on her belly. If that happened, she’d have to leave Earth altogether.
Lilith thought for a moment. There was one method: kissing the location of the other’s pattern. Lilith scratched her cheek awkwardly and said, “Lili, um… it’s just… you have to kiss the spot where the pattern is. Just kiss my hand.”
Lilith wanted to kiss Bai Lili’s spot, but she figured Bai Lili wouldn’t agree, and it might lower her affection, so she dropped the idea.
Hearing Lilith’s words, Bai Lili felt a bit shy, but it was still better than having Lilith kiss her there. So Bai Lili took Lilith’s hand and gently pressed her lips to it.
Feeling Bai Lili’s soft lips on her hand, Lilith’s face inadvertently flushed red. Her eyes revealed an undisguised desire to claim the Bai Lili in front of her as her own.
Bai Lili was too busy bowing her head and kissing Lilith’s hand to notice. A moment later, Bai Lili checked Lilith’s hand, then looked up at Lilith. Everything seemed normal.
Bai Lili quickly lifted her own shirt to see if the pattern had disappeared. Just as Lilith had said, it was gone.
Lilith then embraced Bai Lili tightly, stood on tiptoe, and gently nibbled on Bai Lili’s fox ear. Bai Lili’s body went weak from Lilith’s bite as she heard Lilith whisper in her ear, “Lili, you must have been my wife in a past life.”
Lilith said this, and Bai Lili couldn’t deny it. The magic circle was indeed evidence. But a past life was still a past life. She had no memories of the time spent with Lilith.
Bai Lili struggled to push Lilith away, tilted her head slightly, her face a little flushed. She crossed her arms and said with a hint of tsundere, “You’re not allowed to use the past life as an excuse. I don’t have any memories, and neither do you. Say that again after you’ve properly won me over.”
With that, Bai Lili rushed out, steam practically rising from her head, leaving Lilith standing there dumbfounded. Once Lilith realized what she meant, her calm turned into ecstasy.
Bai Lili wasn’t rejecting her advances. She was even giving her a chance. Lilith could laugh in her sleep over this. What more could she ask for? She had to speed up her plan.
And so, a pink-haired loli began her conquest plan.
Bai Lili ran straight to her bedroom, her big golden tail wagging excitedly.
She threw herself onto her big bed, her mind replaying Lilith’s words. Now she couldn’t tell if her memories were implanted by some mystery or were truly her past life.
Bai Lili rolled around on her bed a couple of times, hugging her fluffy tail. It seemed like she had come to some realization. She muttered to herself, “Whatever. Even if I knew, there’s nothing I could do about it. I’ll just let things take their course.”
That was Bai Lili’s way of thinking. Instead of worrying about whether tomorrow or the unexpected would come first, she’d rather think about what to eat tonight.
Having made up her mind, Bai Lili stopped dwelling on it. She got up to check what was for dinner.
That evening, Su Ruo also returned, carrying a fully packed handbag with a smile on her face. Bai Lili stole a few glances. Su Ruo headed straight to her bedroom without looking back.
Bai Lili decided not to bother with that. Lilith had really thrown her for a loop. She could barely imagine having to face herself with that pattern on her body. She really would turn into a lewd fox.
Qing Hanyin had already placed the prepared dinner on the table. Bai Lili looked at the sumptuous meal and sighed, “Hanyin, you’re really good at cooking. Did you practice a lot?”
Qing Hanyin seemed to recall distant memories and nodded. “Yeah. I practiced for a long time.”
While Bai Lili and Qing Hanyin were chatting, Lilith joined them, wearing a bright smile. Apart from her Blood Clan-typical red eyes and two sharp fangs, Bai Lili couldn’t see anything about Lilith that resembled a Blood Clan member.
Bai Lili shook her head. She shouldn’t judge people based on stereotypes. Lilith cheerfully put some food in Bai Lili’s bowl. “Lili, eat this.”
Bai Lili silently ate the food in her bowl. Even though Lilith had removed the embarrassing pattern, that didn’t mean Bai Lili had forgiven her. She had to make Lilith reflect on her actions first.
Bai Lili realized that if she hadn’t already been bound beforehand, Lilith probably would have used it on her anyway. Then she might unlock some special CG of herself. The thought made her face hot, and the tips of her fox ears seemed to have a faint pink hue.
Su Ruo came out not long after. By then, Bai Lili was almost done eating, so she left the table. She felt it was best to leave the scene quickly. The three at the table were being polite to each other. Bai Lili sat on the sofa, perking up her ears to hear what they were talking about.
It seemed to be about her, but she couldn’t make it out clearly. In the end, she didn’t understand anything. Bai Lili gave up. She’d just focus on living in the present.
