Villainous Malevolent Ghost (12)
It felt like both a moment and a long time had passed when Bai Yu finally let go of Song Xuyi.
After more than ten seconds, Song Xuyi finally opened her eyes. As expected, Bai Yu had already put her clothes back on. She turned around, with her back facing Song Xuyi, her thin shoulders slightly trembling, and her once pale cheeks now clearly blushing.
“This was just an accident. I know you didn’t do it on purpose.” Even though her face was almost explosively red, Song Xuyi, thinking of Bai Yu’s shy nature, still managed to maintain her composure and comfort Bai Yu: “You don’t need to worry about it.”
“I… I’ll go change clothes first.” After saying this, Song Xuyi also reached her limit and dared not look at Bai Yu’s seemingly pitiful side profile any longer. Red-faced, she climbed out of the bathtub, relieved that she hadn’t done anything irrational to Bai Yu, and quickly left the bathroom.
In her own room, Song Xuyi deliberately lingered for a while, took a bath to cool down the remaining heat in her body, recited a scripture, and only then did she slowly leave the room.
Bai Yu, in life, was indeed accustomed to grand occasions, and now she seemed to have regained her composure. She sat on the sofa with her head slightly lowered, her brow slightly furrowed as if she were pondering something.
Seeing Song Xuyi come out of the room, Bai Yu raised her head to glance at Song Xuyi before lowering it again, her gaze clearly showing that she wanted to say something but was hesitant.
“What is it?”
Song Xuyi sighed and couldn’t help but break the silence: Bai Yu was good in every way, except that she adhered too strictly to the ancient customs of propriety and heavy etiquette, making her overly reserved.
As expected, Bai Yu lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then softly spoke: “Xuyi, I actually have an impolite request.”
“We are friends,” Song Xuyi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Bai Yu being able to speak up was already a significant progress. She couldn’t help but encourage her: “If there’s anything, just say it directly.”
“I know you are currently in a crucial period of preparing for your studies, and I shouldn’t disturb you,” Bai Yu pressed her lips together, her voice lowered a bit, and her eyes dropped: “But I was seriously injured by the twin vines yesterday, and my injury keeps recurring. I might not be able to maintain my form at any time, and staying in the curse stone is quite inconvenient. Could you… could you stay with me in this house during this period?”
After speaking, she seemed to feel ashamed and lowered her head: “Xuyi, I am just speaking presumptuously, you must not force yourself because of me. Actually, I am fine being here alone. I’ve also seen your school, ordinary evil spirits don’t dare to enter, and you are very safe there…”
Song Xuyi pressed her lips together, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She didn’t expect Bai Yu, even in such a state, to still be considering her safety. With Bai Yu caring so wholeheartedly for her, if she left Bai Yu’s injury unattended and returned to school, wouldn’t that be worse than being a beast?
Moreover, now that she was in her senior year, there were already fewer classes. Although studying at home doesn’t have the same atmosphere as the library, it’s not impossible. Besides, once Bai Yu’s injury recovers, she can move back. Moving into this house for this period doesn’t pose any major issues.
Thinking this way, Song Xuyi almost without hesitation agreed: “This is just a small matter to me. I’ll finish my classes tomorrow morning and move back in the afternoon.”
“As for the yang energy,” Song Xuyi looked earnestly at Bai Yu, “absorb as much as you need. You mentioned that it wouldn’t harm my body. At this time, don’t be polite with me. Healing your injury is the most important thing.”
Bai Yu looked up at Song Xuyi. Song Xuyi’s gaze was very sincere, without a trace of falseness. A shadow quickly flitted across Bai Yu’s eyes, her throat moved, and she smiled shyly: “Xuyi, rest assured, I won’t be polite with you.”
Hearing Bai Yu’s words, Song Xuyi finally relaxed. After a day of turmoil, she felt a weight lifted off her chest, and inevitably began to feel drowsy. However, seeing Bai Yu looking energetic, Song Xuyi thought for a moment, handed her phone to Bai Yu, taught her to recognize simplified Chinese characters, and use the browser to search for questions. After watching Bai Yu use it for a few minutes, Song Xuyi said goodnight to Bai Yu and returned to her room to sleep.
Song Xuyi has always been adept at learning. Even though she felt extremely tired, to reinforce her memory, she opened her phone and recited spells from a PDF while lying in bed. As she recited, she unknowingly fell asleep.
And just like the previous night, not long after Song Xuyi fell asleep, Bai Yu, who was supposed to be in the living room getting used to the phone, passed through the seemingly non-existent bedroom door and stood in front of Song Xuyi’s bed.
Darkness was of no use to Bai Yu, as her eyes could clearly see Song Xuyi’s facial features and expression, as well as the little spirit cowering in her mind. Thinking about her plan to invade Xuyi, Bai Yu coldly lowered her gaze, and a purple flame appeared in her palm, faintly staring at the little spirit: “If you ruin my plans, you know what kind of fate awaits you!”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
The little spirit was indeed frightened, wide-eyed and too scared to move.
Seeing the little spirit’s frightened appearance, as if it was about to cry, Bai Yu paused for a moment, inexplicably reminded of Song Xuyi: perhaps like master, like pet, this little spirit’s wide-eyed, tear-filled look seemed somewhat reminiscent of Xuyi.
Bai Yu pressed her lips together and ultimately changed her original plan to give this little spirit a hard time to make it obedient, and instead, she lowered her head to look at Song Xuyi.
At this moment, Bai Yu did not conceal her desire for Song Xuyi at all. Her gaze swept inch by inch over Song Xuyi’s face, her eyes filled with a sense of invasion. Even in her sleep, Song Xuyi instinctively sensed a chill in her body and subconsciously shivered slightly.
Bai Yu’s gaze fell on the phone loosely held in Song Xuyi’s hand. As usual, she opened Song Xuyi’s phone as if no one else was present.
Seeing the last page stopped on a spell page, Bai Yu’s pupils narrowed, understanding the reason Song Xuyi could maintain the last trace of clarity. Immediately after, she subconsciously furrowed her brows: At this critical moment, what does she intend to do by learning spells?
Has she already begun to suspect me…
The nature of an evil ghost is to be suspicious. Even knowing that it’s unlikely Song Xuyi would have such strong acting skills, Bai Yu’s expression still instantly cooled down.
In her chest, suspicion grew wildly, and the air pressure around her visibly dropped. The system that witnessed everything was shivering, its teeth chattering, almost unable to withstand the pressure and on the verge of fleeing to other worlds…
Even in her sleep, Song Xuyi sensed something was wrong. Her brow furrowed slightly, and she murmured a sound as if wanting to wake up, but Bai Yu waved her hand—
Song Xuyi once again fell into a deep sleep.
Bai Yu narrowed her eyes and bent down, kissing Song Xuyi’s lips as if venting her anger…
She fully vented her anger and panic, indulging herself deeply. The kiss left the sleeping Song Xuyi breathless, causing her to involuntarily make a sound that seemed like both crying and pleading—a kind of murmur—
Listening to Song Xuyi’s whimpering sound like a small beast, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and Bai Yu’s eyes grew increasingly deeper, her inner desire gushing out like flames. Her hands tightened around Song Xuyi’s waist, and one hand moved to Song Xuyi’s collar. Just as she was about to tear Song Xuyi’s collar, she suddenly put her hand down and turned away—
Bai Yu herself didn’t know what was wrong with her!
Isn’t she an evil ghost?
Evil ghosts act recklessly and, when they want someone, will stop at nothing to get them. Moreover, Xuyi was already confused by her, and even if she woke up, she would only think it was all a dream, detecting nothing unusual. So, what was she hesitating about?
However, Bai Yu found herself unable to proceed: she is a top expert in metaphysics in the world and actually has the means to manipulate Xuyi to respond to her, but… if she were to use that method to obtain Xuyi, all she would gain is a soulless body.
Bai Yu fiercely bit her lower lip, only at this moment realizing her true desire: she was actually longing for Xuyi to love her, and for them to have mutual affection?!
However, even though her heart was thinking this way, Bai Yu was still unable to bring herself to possess the slumbering Song Xuyi.
She pressed her lips tightly, inexplicably reminded of Xuyi in the bathtub, clearly moved but desperately enduring. At this moment, how was she different from that time?
She was probably going crazy!
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Or perhaps, like the saying “near vermilion becomes red,” she was starting to be unconsciously influenced by Xuyi, just like the little beast in Xuyi’s mind…
And the system within Song Xuyi’s mind also fell into an unprecedented state of torment at this time. Just as the system was planning to risk everything to wake Song Xuyi, Bai Yu turned around, meeting the system’s wide eyes—
“Don’t look at me like that!” Bai Yu coldly lowered her gaze, red light flowing in her eyes, finding an outlet for her suffocating frustration. With a wave of her hand, the system once again became mute.
“Song Xuyi, you won,”
Finally, Bai Yu reluctantly extinguished the suspicion and desire in her heart, angrily turning around and holding Song Xuyi in her arms. Even knowing Song Xuyi couldn’t hear, she still pressed her forehead against Song Xuyi’s and spoke in a louder voice: “You said yourself that I can come anytime to absorb yang energy, this isn’t considered an offense to you—”
“But Song Xuyi, you must not deceive me,” Bai Yu’s words paused, and for a long time, when Song Xuyi’s chaotic breathing gradually became steady and the blush on her cheeks completely faded, a voice sounded again, like a gentle breeze dissipating into the night—
“Otherwise, I really will go crazy.”
Song Xuyi slept very well that night, but after waking up, she felt somewhat mentally dazed:
—She actually dreamed of kissing Bai Yu!
What made Song Xuyi feel even more ashamed was that the dream was incredibly real. In the dream, Bai Yu was unprecedentedly wild. For a moment, Song Xuyi even felt that besides kissing, some other indescribable things might happen in the dream…
Fortunately, even in the dream, she held onto her bottom line and didn’t continue dreaming further. But what one thinks about during the day appears in dreams at night, and since she even dreamed of kissing Bai Yu, Song Xuyi couldn’t deceive herself: she indeed had some inappropriate thoughts towards the beautiful, powerful, yet tragically fated Ancestor Grandmother—
Song Xuyi deeply despised herself. To completely eliminate these inappropriate thoughts, Song Xuyi increased the frequency of reciting spells and followed the online class teacher’s advice by specifically buying some related paper books online.
That afternoon, Song Xuyi moved her dormitory belongings back to the apartment. The items were in a messy pile, and the apartment needed many things added. With no time to go out, Song Xuyi simply ordered online. When the books were delivered, Song Xuyi and Bai Yu were organizing things and thought it was daily necessities. Song Xuyi asked the delivery guy to leave the package at the door, and Bai Yu went out to get it.
“It should be the shampoo that arrived, could you put it in the bathroom for me?” Song Xuyi was too busy to look up, and when she realized something was unusual, Bai Yu had already silently walked up to her—
“Introduction to Spells?” Bai Yu softly spoke, her brow slightly furrowed, holding the opened package, her pitch-black eyes unblinkingly staring at Song Xuyi’s expression: “Is Xuyi learning metaphysics?”
Caught red-handed by Bai Yu while secretly learning metaphysics, Song Xuyi felt somewhat ashamed, but with the evidence already in Bai Yu’s hand, Song Xuyi couldn’t deny it and could only admit: “Yes!”
“Why?”
Bai Yu indeed asked. For some reason, Bai Yu’s voice sounded extremely relaxed, as if she had just breathed a sigh of relief.
“I… I want to study the physics branch that researches evil spirits, so I plan to first familiarize myself with spells.” Song Xuyi pursed her lips, her fingers curling slightly as she moved her gaze away. After all, being just a beginner boasting in front of the Ancestor Grandmother about wanting to protect her seemed far-fetched, and Song Xuyi found it difficult to say, so she only mentioned one reason.
She originally thought this matter had passed, and Song Xuyi was about to continue working, but she found Bai Yu’s gaze thoughtfully fixed on her, not moving away for a long time.
What is with her? Is she testing my comprehension?
Song Xuyi inexplicably felt a bit nervous and fearful, and couldn’t help biting her lower lip—

Bai Yu’s eyes darkened further, but at that moment, she moved her gaze away.
She squatted down to hand the book to Song Xuyi, her fingers seemingly unintentionally touching Song Xuyi’s fingertips…
As if a current flowed through her fingertips, Song Xuyi froze, her body shivering, and some words came out uncontrollably—
“Actually, my main reason for learning spells is because of you!”
“Only if I learn spells well, can I protect you when you encounter danger in the future!”
The author has something to say:
(●—●) Dabai: I want to be close with my wife, but I am an evil ghost, wuwuwu, my wife definitely won’t like me (crazy suspicion…)
Xuyi: She is Ancestor Grandmother, sob sob, I absolutely cannot desecrate her! (frantically chanting spells…)
