The sensation of fangs withdrawing from her body brought Yang Qinglan back to her senses.
She felt Li Changzhou's nose affectionately nuzzling her neck, sniffing her scent in gentle motions.
She wanted to caress his face with her hand, her mind was in a daze, and a sweet fragrance enveloped them both.
"Is this mating?" Bi asked curiously, "It's not like what I imagined, they didn't even take off their clothes."
"Maybe it's a vampire's unique way," Li Qianxia wasn't sure, "like squid in the shallows, mating is just a pat on the back."
"..." Yang Qinglan pushed Li Changzhou's head away.
When her hand touched the top of his head, his hair was warm and smooth, tempting one to gently caress and rub it, to hold him in an embrace.
"Miss Yang, you smell so beautiful and sweet," Li Changzhou said, using his thumb to wipe the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, then licking it away as if it were a grain of rice.
That movement... was actually very sexy.
"Bro, do you have to be so sleazy?"
Hearing Li Qianxia's teasing of Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan realized that the words 'sexy' and 'sleazy' could mean different things depending on the context and the observer.
She pretended as if nothing happened and asked Li Changzhou, "Are you full?"
"I'm full, but I can eat more," Li Changzhou felt it wasn't eating, but rather a pleasure he could indulge in for any length of time.
"I don't have that much blood for you to play with," Yang Qinglan rebuked him lightly, "Right now, the most important thing is to find Edison as quickly as possible and kill him in the shortest time, without any further distractions."
Everyone present agreed, aware of the risks of delay—the enemy and the players were too many and unpredictable.
"Is there a way to find him?" Li Qianxia asked while thinking about this problem herself.
She had grown a bit since before, and she no longer depended on—or dumped everything on—Li Changzhou.
Li Changzhou was neither disappointed nor relieved and happy; he supported whatever kind of person his sister wanted to become, except for the one point that she must not expose herself with her clothing.
If it were about dating...
That would be complicated, to be studied case by case.
"We need a skill to track the enemy and a way to make people reveal their secrets," Yang Qinglan summarized.
"We should also consider a skill for meeting up," Li Changzhou added.
He turned to Bi and said, "Pull the curtain, please."
"Am I your servant?" Bi refused.
"No, you're a friend, and your friend is a vampire who is asking you to pull the curtain down with telekinesis."
"You are my servant!" Bi insisted, and the curtains slowly drew together, making the room darker and stuffier.
Then, a cool and pleasant breeze blew in, and Yang Qinglan took out the "Invisibility Lantern," using it as an ordinary light source without triggering its ability.
The room turned into a cozy and comfortable night.
The four looked at the lantern, the atmosphere was harmonious, as if camping during the Mid-Autumn Festival to enjoy the moon.
"How do you meet up with your teammates?" Li Changzhou curiously asked Bi.
As the Czar Princess, Bi couldn't be as simple as she seemed (simplicity in ability doesn't mean she wasn't formidable), and until now, she hadn't used a single extra skill or shown any tools.
Including the wooden pot lid from Prague.
"I don't have teammates," she said, spreading her delicate little hands as if holding something, "My father says I am too young to have teammates."
Her posture suggested she was ready to take something out of her backpack.
"Why?" Li Qianxia didn't understand, "Even though teammates can sometimes be dangerous, that's not a reason to go without, especially when you are so young. Last time in Prague, you were tricked by my brother and Qing Lan."
Realizing the possible misunderstanding, she quickly added, "But luckily, it was by them."
Bi snorted and said,
"My father told me, in missions, one, do not care about social norms; two, do not feel responsible; three, do not have compassion; four, do not plan; five, apart from your own life, act without regard for the consequences—"
A golden bell appeared in her palm.
"Six, lie a lot."
"Is your father trying to turn you into a pervert?" Yang Qinglan asked without thinking.
"No, the elite of the elite!" Bi asserted, "Look, in addition to the six rules, there's this, the 'Servant Bell.' With a shake, it can summon six servants."
"How strong are they?" Li Changzhou asked, leaning his hands on the back of Yang Qinglan's sofa.
Human-shaped black mist stood beside him, staring at him and Yang Qinglan ghost-like and quite obtrusive.
"It depends on how powerful the Identity Cards you give them are," Bi said, clenching her small fist, and the bell disappeared, "They can have half the strength of an Identity Card."
No wonder she had been so eager for Identity Cards before; they thought even a princess had to rely on selling Identity Cards to scrape together 10 Game Coins for a living.
"What about the time and number of uses?" Li Changzhou continued to ask.
"Do you think I would tell you?"
"Do you think I would hurt you?"
Bi thought for a moment, crossed her arms, and said in a grudging manner, "It can only be used once per game, and it lasts for half an hour."
"That's one, plus a wooden pot lid, what about other Tools? Your Level must be at least Third Level; you should have at least three slots in your backpack."
"Bro," Li Qianxia was embarrassed by his directness, that's no way to pry into someone else's secrets.
The Emperor really did have a reason for giving his daughter those six rules, to guard against people like her brother.
"Why aren't you speaking?" Bi also called out discontentedly, "Show me your Tools first, for the Princess to see! Hurry up!"
"What should we do?" Li Changzhou asked Yang Qinglan.
"Don't," Yang Qinglan answered.
"Miss Yang says no," Li Changzhou conveyed her words to Bi, even though they were face to face, separated only by a table.
A table's distance can actually be very far, like classmates sitting in front or behind during school, never seen again after being separated into different classes.
