Volume Nine: The Years I Was a Witch
Getting Married1
Two pretty girls were already eye-catching, especially when their ten fingers were intertwined, their intimate behavior all the more letting one’s imagination fly in a continuous stream2.
You Dai’er naturally wouldn’t care about other people’s gazes; she couldn’t wait for everyone to see clearly that Wen Nuan was her person.
As for Wen Nuan, she had always saw but did not hear3 others’ stares. At this moment, her eyes were filled with the brilliant scenery of Xile Town and the woman before her whose smile couldn’t be stopped.
“What are you looking at?” You Dai’er asked when she saw Wen Nuan staring at their intertwined hands.
She felt nervous and tightened her grip on Wen Nuan’s hand, warning her fiercely, “I’m telling you, I’m not letting go!”
Seeing her “threatening me with death” posture, Wen Nuan said helplessly, “You’re holding on so tight, even if I wanted to let go, I couldn’t shake you off, could I?”
You Dai’er lifted her chin smugly. “Hmph, little girl4, as a third-generation vampire progenitor, this strength of mine is not to be underestimated.”
“Is that so?” Wen Nuan glanced at the crowd nearby. The two of them walked behind a large banyan tree, a rouge-red5 wall to their side, which happened to frame a small, hidden corner.
She wrapped her left hand around and gave You Dai’er’s waist a light pinch.
You Dai’er was caught off guard, pinched squarely by Wen Nuan.
Logically speaking, this kind of light touch should have been useless against her, but Wen Nuan’s hand was like a scorching flame. It made her waist tremble, and her body and heart softened along with it.
Wen Nuan caught the falling You Dai’er in one arm, a wicked smile hooking her lips. Looking at You Dai’er’s eyes, which were shimmering with watery light6, she teased, “Where’s your strength now?”
You Dai’er was practically draped in Wen Nuan’s arms. Hearing Wen Nuan’s provocation, she was just about to get up when the hand on her waist caressed her, making her body go as soft as a puddle of water.
Her eyes were hazy, and she couldn’t understand why she had suddenly become like this.
Wen Nuan had only touched her lightly, yet it felt as if all the strength had been sucked out of her body.
“Wh… what’s happening?” You Dai’er asked, panting.
Wen Nuan leaned down and looked at her reddened earlobe, chuckling lightly. “You’re too sensitive.”
You Dai’er’s earlobe trembled, her eyes growing even more moist. “What?”
“To put it simply,” Wen Nuan held You Dai’er even tighter, pressing her into her embrace and taking her trembling earlobe into her mouth, “…you’re asking to be fucked7.”
You Dai’er sucked in a sharp breath, her ten fingers clutching tightly at Wen Nuan’s clothes as if grabbing the last life-saving straw.
Their actions were too intimate and had already attracted many people to look their way.
Wen Nuan shot a glare at three men who were looking over. She could see the lecherous thoughts in their eyes as clear as day.
Her lips moved, and the three men suddenly froze. Their eyes went vacant, and their bodies began to walk away involuntarily, gradually disappearing into the crowded street.
Wen Nuan looked at the face red and ears burning8 You Dai’er in her arms and pulled her over to sit on some nearby steps.
“Are you okay?”
The deliberateness in her tone was too obvious; You Dai’er heard it loud and clear.
She glared resentfully at Wen Nuan. “You did that on purpose?”
“Hm?” Wen Nuan shrugged. “What did I do on purpose?”
You Dai’er pulled Wen Nuan’s hand over, continuing to intertwine their fingers, her tone unfriendly. “You deliberately provoked me!”
Wen Nuan felt the stickiness of her palm. “Then I won’t do it anymore.”
The moment You Dai’er heard Wen Nuan wouldn’t do it, she grew anxious. “No, you can’t do that.”
“Why not?”
A trace of awkwardness flashed across You Dai’er’s face. “I… I liked what you did to me just now.”
Wen Nuan raised an eyebrow, deliberately asking, “What I did was… what, exactly?”
Faced with Wen Nuan’s teasing, You Dai’er wasn’t the least bit intimidated. Besides, her love for Wen Nuan had long since transcended the ethics and morals of this world, so she naturally dared to say any explicit words directly.
“I liked how you touched me just now,” You Dai’er touched her still-tingling earlobe, “and I also liked what you said to me.”
Wen Nuan lifted her eyes, their color deepening. “What words?”
“Asking to be fucked.”
You Dai’er had lived for a long time; she naturally knew what Wen Nuan’s words meant.
She didn’t care about who was dominant or submissive. As long as it was Wen Nuan, none of that mattered.
“I’m only asking you to fuck me,” You Dai’er scratched Wen Nuan’s palm, her actions seductive and wanton. “Only for you to fuck, okay?”
Wen Nuan’s expression changed slightly. She secretly let out a breath and hooked You Dai’er’s chin. “I’ll think about it.”
You Dai’er was instantly displeased. “Think about it again?”
“You’re not going to think about it for a lifetime again, are you?”
Wen Nuan spread her hands. “Who knows?”
You Dai’er knew Wen Nuan was deliberately messing with her, but she was helpless against her. She could only endure Wen Nuan’s games, and yet she still regarded it as sweet as malt sugar9, her heart filled with joy.
You Dai’er truly felt that in the forty years she was sealed away, her brain had been stifled to the point of breaking.
Wen Nuan watched the blush fade from You Dai’er’s face, enduring the faint pain coming from her body.
The pain-blocking function the System gave her wasn’t very effective; she could still feel a slight ache.
It was just… this ache was getting more and more severe.
【Are you okay?】 the System sighed. 【I’ve already turned the pain-blocking to maximum.】
Wen Nuan avoided You Dai’er’s gaze, her brow furrowing slightly as she took a deep breath. “…I’m fine.”
You Dai’er keenly sensed that something was wrong with Wen Nuan. She saw that Wen Nuan’s face was a little pale and asked nervously, “What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?”
Wen Nuan gave a faint smile. “It’s nothing, I’m probably just tired from walking.”
“Then I’ll carry you.”
You Dai’er opened her arms, making a gesture as if to give Wen Nuan a princess carry.
“No need.” Wen Nuan shook her head.
You Dai’er thought that Wen Nuan was shy about being carried because of all the tourists around.
She squatted down and patted her back. “Get on, I’ll carry you on my back then.”
Although You Dai’er’s back was thin and slender, it looked exceptionally solid and reliable.
“Forget it.” Wen Nuan pulled her up.
She couldn’t bear to weigh down such a small frame.
【Heh heh,】 the System roasted, 【You didn’t press her any less when you were in bed.】
Wen Nuan: “…”
You Dai’er put an arm around Wen Nuan’s waist. “Why don’t you lean on me, and I’ll take you home.”
Just as Wen Nuan was about to agree, she heard the male lead’s voice call out from a distance.
“Great Aunt——”
Ding Nisheng ran over excitedly, but when he suddenly saw You Dai’er, he slammed on the brakes.
“You Dai’er…?” he called out, his voice cracking.
Ding Nisheng glanced nervously at You Dai’er, seeing her arm around Wen Nuan in a posture that looked for all the world like she was about to “forcefully seize a commoner girl.”
He didn’t know where he got the bear’s gall10, but he reached out and snatched Wen Nuan over to his side.
“What are you trying to do to my Great Aunt?”
Seeing her arms suddenly empty, her beauty snatched away, You Dai’er’s face instantly darkened. “Give her back to me!”
Ding Nisheng swallowed hard. “You…”
He looked around and, seeing no one was watching, said, “…vampire, I’m telling you… don’t even think about getting any ideas about my Great Aunt.”
Ever since he found out last night that this vampire harbored ill intentions, he had been worried that his Great Aunt, who was as beautiful as a flower and delicate and weak11, would be bullied by this cold-blooded and heartless, fierce god and evil spirit12 of a vampire.
You Dai’er glanced at Wen Nuan, who was snickering on the side, and frowned helplessly. “So what if I am getting ideas about your Great Aunt? What can you do to me?”
“I… I…” Ding Nisheng stammered, at a loss.
He knew how ferocious You Dai’er was; with his abilities, he couldn’t resist her at all. He had no idea where he’d gotten the bear’s gall to blurt out what he just said.
He looked at You Dai’er fearfully, then turned his head to stare pitifully at Wen Nuan, his lips pouting. “Great Aunt…”
Seeing the male lead asking her for help, Wen Nuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Alright, she’s just teasing you, don’t take it seriously.”
“Really?” Ding Nisheng wasn’t so sure.
He glanced tremblingly at You Dai’er, only to see her eyes suddenly turn blood-red and sharp fangs abruptly emerge, scaring him so much his body shook.
“AH——” Ding Nisheng scrambled behind Wen Nuan in a panic. “Gu… Great Aunt, she’s going to bite me!”
Wen Nuan looked up. “Don’t scare him.”
The male lead of this world is too timid. Don’t scare him to death.
You Dai’er moved her mouth, retracting her fangs, and the blood-red color in her eyes faded.
She pulled Wen Nuan back over, continuing to hold her, and cast a threatening gaze at Ding Nisheng. “Listen up, your Great Aunt is my person. If you dare say one more thing that displeases me, I’ll suck you dry.”
Ding Nisheng: “….”
He retorted, “…On what grounds?”
Just as Wen Nuan was about to explain to the male lead, lest he drill into a bull’s horn13…
“Because I’m your Great Uncle14,” You Dai’er said proudly.
Wen Nuan: “….”
What kind of ridiculous title is that?
Ding Nisheng: “….”
The hell you are!
Seeing Ding Nisheng’s shocked and confused expression, You Dai’er couldn’t be bothered to explain further. She just put her arm around Wen Nuan and started walking home.
“Great Uncle?” Wen Nuan burst out laughing. “Where did you hear that title?”
“Isn’t a Great Aunt’s partner called a Great Uncle?”
You Dai’er didn’t understand these titles; she was just going along with what Ding Nisheng called Wen Nuan and making things up as she went.
“A Great Aunt’s partner isn’t called a Great Uncle.”
“Then what are they called?” You Dai’er asked, puzzled.
“It depends on whether you’re in the north or south. In the north, it’s usually Gulaoye, while in the south, it’s generally Gugong,” Wen Nuan explained, educating this vampire who didn’t understand human worldly wisdom15.
“It’s different in the north and south? I don’t care what the title is. I just want to be your partner. What I’m called is irrelevant,” You Dai’er said with a wave of her hand.
Wen Nuan walked shoulder-to-shoulder with her, the hand on her waist seeming to declare ownership.
“When did I become your partner?”
She said mischievously, “Why do I remember being someone’s disposable blood servant?”
“….”
You Dai’er knew that her little witch not only got angry easily but also loved to hold a grudge.
She pinched Wen Nuan’s waist. “Not disposable.”
“Oh, so you admit I’m just your blood servant, then?”
“….” You Dai’er was speechless. “Are you setting a trap for me?”
“I’m telling the truth. Back when I was by your side, wasn’t I just existing in the capacity of a blood servant?” Bringing this up, Wen Nuan did feel a bit of resentment toward You Dai’er.
You Dai’er let go of Wen Nuan and stood in front of her, sighing. “I never thought you were disposable, nor did I ever see you as my blood servant.”
Wen Nuan: “??”
She raised a hand and gently brushed away the strands of Wen Nuan’s hair that had been scattered by the wind.
“I kept you by my side not because I saw you as my blood servant, but because I saw you as my bride.”
Wen Nuan’s pupils trembled as she looked at You Dai’er in disbelief.
Seeing Wen Nuan’s shock, You Dai’er knew clearly that Wen Nuan must have misunderstood her intentions back then.
She gave a bitter smile. “For a vampire progenitor like me, after feeding on human blood, we don’t leave them alive. This is because some humans harbored unfathomable intentions16; they will use my blood to create ‘fake’ vampires to use against us.”
In that chaotic era, the war between humans and vampires grew more and more intense. In order to annihilate each other, both sides left nothing unused to its extreme17.
Just like Wen Nuan’s parents, who deliberately captured young fledgling vampires to experiment on, trying to find a way to kill vampires.
“Since the day I was born, I have never had a blood servant. It’s not that I couldn’t have one, but that I didn’t want one, because I felt they were unworthy of staying by my side, unworthy of eating and sleeping with me, unworthy of my protection.”
“But the moment I saw you, the biggest thought in my mind was to keep you by my side.”
“I wanted to raise you, and when you came of age, I would give you the First Embrace. That way, you would become my eternal bride, and we could be together for lifetime after lifetime.”
The little girl was innocent and guileless18, pure and exquisite.
Her beauty attracted the covetous gazes and drooling of too many vampires.
As a third-generation vampire progenitor, You Dai’er’s power and prestige were unstoppable, but even she couldn’t watch over the little girl every single moment.
Vampires with ill intentions who didn’t fear death were everywhere. They did not fear her authority, nor did they fear her power; they only cared about the food before their eyes, and they began to recklessly try to make a move on the little girl.
And it was then that You Dai’er suddenly discovered that the little girl she was raising seemed different from what she had imagined. She had thought she was weak and easily bullied, but she never expected her to be so powerful.
As the days went on, the little witch’s power grew stronger and stronger. She could defeat many vampires, and could even seal You Dai’er herself away.
You Dai’er’s heart was filled with sincere joy and happiness, marveling that her little girl had grown up.
….and could also get married now.
