You said you hated men, why are your eyes now full of love?

Chapter 103 - Everything Has a Crack—That's How the Light Gets In

The oppressive gloom began to fade.

A unique aura of youth enveloped Ruan Qingqing.

Her blood surged faster through her veins as if a furnace had been ignited within her. Every organ in her body seemed to accelerate its metabolism, making the moment feel almost unreal.

"Mu Mu... you really..."

Her voice trembled, edging into a sob. "Do you really feel heartache for me?"

A hand rested gently on her waist. Even through the fabric, it radiated a searing warmth. The other hand softly stroked the crown of her head and drew her into a tender embrace.

The boy didn't answer.

Instead, he conveyed his concern and heartache through silent action.

With her cheek pressed against his solid chest, Ruan Qingqing couldn't quite put into words how she felt.

It was as if a shattered and abandoned heart in a barren wasteland had been patiently gathered and stitched back together. Even when she had given up on herself and was ready to dissolve into nothingness at any moment, he had told her time and again with unwavering certainty that he was always there.

Ruan Qingqing inhaled deeply, greedily taking in the scent that belonged only to him.

Mu Mu, I've already given you a chance.

You know better than anyone that three strikes and you're out.

To save a person consumed by desire, one must be prepared to pay the price and face the consequences.

Even if you don't understand that yet.

"Silly goose."

The boy's breath brushed against the edge of her ear from above, warm and damp.

"Let's go back."

Ruan Qingqing's eyes dimmed slightly as if something had been ignited within them.

A deep, smoldering desire began to rise slowly from the depths.

"But how could I possibly go out looking like this?"

She concealed the flicker in her eyes, placed her hands on his shoulders, and slowly stood up. Her voice was soft and sorrowful.

"If the cracks can't be healed, then I'll have to stay locked in here forever."

As expected, the moment those words left her lips, the boy's expression turned anxious.

"Mu Mu, there is one way."

Seeing her prey take the bait, Ruan Qingqing lowered her head, doing her best to appear hesitant and conflicted.

"Just a little blood will be enough."

To her surprise, Ji Mu actually let out a slow breath of relief.

"It's fine. Drink as much as you want."

Without hesitating much, he extended his wrist. But, recalling the eyeshadow-like mark left by the bite of the last full moon, he murmured softly.

"Just leave me alive. That's all I ask."

Why is Mu Mu so adorable?

A wicked impulse stirred within Ruan Qingqing.

What if I just want to bully him more and more?

She silently curled her lips into a smile and slowly bent down to draw closer.

She opened her mouth, and her tiny fangs brushed against his skin, grazing lightly.

The sharp, icy touch made the boy shiver instinctively.

Blood welled up from the puncture wound. He tried to stay calm as he shifted his gaze to the girl's pale face.

The jagged wound on her skin healed visibly.

Within minutes, she pushed his hand away.

"Hm?" Ji Mu cast a puzzled glance her way.

"This is too slow."

Ruan Qingqing looked up at him with a pitiful expression, her lashes clinging to lingering tears.

"At this rate, it'll take at least two hours to fully heal. We don't have that kind of time."

"How could that be?"

Ji Mu's heart, which had just settled, leapt back into his throat.

"Is there any way to speed up the healing process?"

"There is..."

The girl dipped her slender fingertip into the crimson on her wrist and gently brushed it across his lips.

"When mixed with saliva, it works faster."

A faint metallic taste spread across his lips. Ji Mu froze for a moment, then suddenly understood what she meant.

"This..."

Ruan Qingqing's lips drooped in quiet disappointment.

"You don't want to?"

As if she had expected it, she didn't press further.

"It's okay. I know Mu Mu isn't used to physical contact. If you're uncomfortable, then forget it."

Her words came slowly, the drawn-out syllables delicate and fragile.

At the sight, the inexperienced prey felt a wave of guilt rise in his chest.

"No, I…"

Before he could finish, the girl suddenly leaned in.

In the heavy stillness of the air, their breaths mingled.

Her pure, delicate face was now just inches from his.

"Are you really willing, Mu Mu?"

He instinctively shrank back, but she took a step forward, then another, leaving him with nowhere to retreat.

Ji Mu could clearly see his reflection in her eyes. Within her irises, a color he couldn't quite decipher slowly began to emerge.

"I…"

He held his breath, his chaotic heartbeat disrupting the little clarity and reason he had left.

Compared to a dear friend's life, what did his hesitation matter?

All she wanted was to survive. Was that really so wrong?

"Mu Mu, do I look like some kind of monster to you?"

The girl blinked, her eyes wide with pitiful innocence.

Ji Mu hesitated for a moment.

In the end, he reached out and plucked the forbidden fruit of his own accord, like a man in Eden unable to resist the serpent's temptation disguised as moral restraint.

After a long pause, the boy seemed to deflate entirely. His voice was low and subdued.

"You're not."

The moment those words left his mouth, the hunter, whose plan had succeeded, tilted her head up and tentatively extended her tongue to kiss the corner of his lips.

Seeing that the boy didn't react, she suppressed the trembling in her body. With tenderness and immense patience, she kissed him from the corner of his mouth to his lips, lingering with sticky affection.

It was so soft and sweet. She wanted more.

She closed her eyes, hiding the desire that threatened to consume her.

The moisture from their kiss slid from the seam of their lips, down her jawline, and was now soaking wet. The slurping, candy-savoring sounds were so suggestive that they could make anyone blush and their heart race.

…

Reality.

Outside the black mist barrier, the system practically went cross-eyed from waiting. It paced around the room countless times in frustration.

It had already been ages. Why was there still no movement?

[Sigh.]

With a long, drawn-out sigh, it clutched its hair in exasperation, turning it into a complete wasps' nest.

The longer the delay, the greater the chance that something has gone wrong inside.

If worst comes to worst, I'll just blow everything up and abandon the mission!

He rushed back, ready to beg the old geezers in Divine Lord's space for mercy. Maybe, just maybe, they could still save the host.

At most, they could take on a few extra missions afterward to make up for the loss.

Yeah, it probably won't get scrapped and rebuilt, right?

The system furrowed its brows, seriously weighing the feasibility of this backup plan.

[Main System, something's happened!!]

The sub-system's voice suddenly rang out, its usual icy tone completely shaken.

Sensing the younger system's panic, the older system temporarily gave up playing with its yo-yo and dove headfirst into the system space to check the situation.

[Don't panic. What happened? What the hell?!]

The system rubbed its eyes in disbelief.

The Prajna Instrument, which was once a small projection, had transformed into a massive LED display screen.

Snow-white gardenias adorned the edges of the screen, filling the space with their distinct, elegant fragrance.

[Main System, there was a tremor in the space just now. Less than thirty seconds later, the Prajna Instrument turned into...this.]

After listening to the sub-system's explanation, it froze for quite a while before confirming what it was seeing.

What the hell? Had the Prajna Instrument just upgraded?

If so, why had it never shown up before?

This anomaly stirred a deep unease within the system.

Should I report this to the old geezers?

"Heh."

A faint, almost imperceptible chuckle echoed in its mind, and its vision blurred for a moment.

Moments later, it scratched its head in confusion.

Huh? What was I just thinking about...?

[Main System, look over there, quick!]

The sub-system tugged at it just in time to offer a reminder:

[The Prajna Instrument is changing again.]

Shaking off the lingering sense of unease, the system followed where the younger one pointed.

Not far away, the massive LED screen that had occupied most of the space was split into four panels.

One of the panels, still adorned with gardenias, slowly began to display a figure.

A young girl's delicate face appeared, a perfect blend of innocence and allure.

Though these traits are polar opposites, she fused ethereal purity and seductive charm into a seamless whole without the slightest hint of discord.

Her long, narrow eyes shimmered like fiery clouds at dusk, glowing with a mesmerizing light.

Her skin was radiantly white with a subtle pink flush, and her silky black hair cascaded down her back to her waist.

A pair of small, soft, furry fox ears perked up slightly.

Her fluffy tail was as smooth as silk and irresistible to the touch.

This was Ruan Qingqing's illustration of a transformed fox girl.

Below it was a detailed description:

Species: Mystic Fox

Age: 17

Height: 165 cm

Weight: 50 kg

Bust size: D+

Trait: Perpetually Rosy

(Note: White Tiger is the maximum juice extraction limit for a normal human female, but not for me.)

Comment:

I never yearned for salvation.

Countless lights, but none could ever be home.

But only you.

You are my sole refuge.

Scattered isles will one day find the sea—

Slowly… and endlessly so.

...

After making a full round, the system rubbed its chin in thought.

Something felt off.

Why would the Prajna Instrument suddenly flash this prompt?

Could there be a deeper meaning behind it?

Forever pink… so no matter how much the tofu is pressed, the color won't change?

Good grief! She's really become an eternal juice-extracting princess. If some poor guy gets caught, his waist won't be spared, will it?

[Main system, these are all secondary concerns!]

Noticing that the elder system's thoughts were becoming increasingly perverted, the junior system urgently gestured for it to look at the main screen.

On Ruan Qingqing's illustration, a line of text appeared.

"Affinity towards males: 0."

[What the...?!]

After clearly seeing the displayed value, the system, which was still lost in thought, suddenly widened its eyes and internally exclaimed, "Holy shit!"

"Wait a minute! Does this mean that the host successfully passed the plot node, changed the ending, and completed the task?"

The two systems exchanged a knowing glance.

No wonder the Prajna Instrument had changed. It seemed that the conquest was finished.

I'm shocked. Happiness came so suddenly!

...

[Wu hu wu hu!!]

The system space was immediately filled with their ecstatic cheers.

"Let's gooo!"

Confetti and flowers!

Congratulations to the host and the silly goose on their friendship reaching...

The final step!
