Ch.43 You’re Lucky
“No wonder she’s the wolf girl—this bite… is really brutal!”
Luo Nan gritted his teeth against the searing pain radiating from his right hand, using his teeth to pull out the stopper of the calming tonic, gripping the small vial tightly in his left hand, ready to shove it toward the little wolf girl’s mouth.
Although Luo Nan had been suddenly bitten by Zhixia, this very act created for him an excellent opportunity to administer the dicine.
“Hope this works.”
It seed that the scent of the blood dripping from Luo Nan’s thumb had stimulated her—the little wolf girl slightly loosened her teeth, transforming her gnawing motion into a sucking action.
“Ssshh…”
Feeling the throbbing pain and tingling numbness from the wound, the sensation of her lips touching his skin and the tiny tongue flickering across his palm, Luo Nan’s right hand involuntarily trembled.
Suck-suck-suck…
‘Wait a minute—is this thing a vampire? There was no such detail in the original plot!’
‘Or is it because she lost too much blood, so she’s here to replenish herself? Did she even check my blood type before sucking? Doesn’t she fear complications?!’
‘Whatever—I’m not in a place where these things matter. For now, just endure it—getting the calming tonic into her is the most urgent task!’
Thinking this, Luo Nan temporarily lowered his left hand, relaxed his entire body, and waited for Zhixia’s bloodsucking.
Suck-suck-suck…
Slurp-slurp-slurp…
Plop-plop-plop…
“How… is she actually licking now?”
The sensation traveling up his right arm had evolved from initial weakness due to blood loss, to now a twine sensation of muscular tongue wrapping around his flesh—he could no longer let this little creature continue!
Pop~
Seizing the brief mont when the girl paused her tongue movents, Luo Nan yanked his right hand free, pulling out several glistening threads of saliva.
“Here you go!”
Luo Nan seized this precious window of opportunity—in the instant when the little wolf girl’s mouth was still open—he cleanly shoved the already-prepared calming tonic directly into her mouth.
“Mmm…”
The girl’s cherry-red lips were instantly stuffed full by the wide neck of the tonic bottle. Luo Nan applied slight pressure with his left hand, and the pale blue liquid flowed downward into Zhixia’s body through gravity.
Gul-gul-gul…
“Looks like subconsciously she trusts —she didn’t refuse the dicine I gave her.”
Only after Zhixia swallowed the entire vial of calming tonic did Luo Nan’s previously tense heart finally ease slightly.
“If she falls asleep soon, then the tonic is working. If not… I’ll have to find another solution.”
“Huh… pff…”
After drinking the entire vial of calming tonic, the little wolf girl did not fall asleep as Luo Nan had expected. Instead, her heterochromatic eyes—one red, one blue—glowed with even greater excitent.
She opened her mouth, revealing two sharp little canine fangs, staring fixedly at Luo Nan’s exposed skin, as if thinking about sothing.
“How hasn’t it worked yet? Could it be expired? Impossible! The Duke’s mansion would never keep ineffective arcane potions!”
Just as Luo Nan began doubting the quality of the tonic, the little wolf girl lunged forward again, pressing herself against his chest—and bit his hand once more!
“Damn… but at least she knows enough to switch hands this ti.”
“Wait—does that an the calming tonic had zero effect?!”
Biting back the pain and tingling emanating from his left thumb, Luo Nan carefully observed the girl’s reaction.
Her cheeks, which had earlier been pale from excessive blood loss, now bore a faint, almost sickly flush. In her red-and-blue heterochromatic eyes burned an emotion clearly labeled ‘excitent’.
“…”
“How does it feel like… after drinking the calming tonic, her loss of control has beco even worse…?”
Luo Nan reached this conclusion not only because he saw the slightly pathological expression on her face, but also because this creature’s limbs were now clutching his arms and waist with unrelenting force.
Especially those tiny hands with long nails—they were nearly embedded into the flesh of his arms.
“Damn… it hurts!”
Luo Nan sucked in a sharp breath; his left arm, held horizontally across his chest, couldn’t help trembling. He could clearly see crimson blood oozing outward from the spots where Zhixia gripped him.
“If this keeps up, I’m going to die from blood loss!”
“And with my current strength, I’m no match for Zhixia Cangya—even trying to break free seems impossible!”
“I think I died last life because of exactly this—this ti, I don’t want to repeat the sa mistake!”
Thinking of this, Luo Nan was overwheld with sorrow. He rembered again the coldness and helplessness he felt in his final monts during his past life.
“Wrong! This young master will not fall twice on the sa obstacle!” He took a deep breath and shouted inside his mind:
‘Gua, Cheat Device Miss, save ee!’
[……]
‘Cheat Device Miss? Respond! If you don’t save , I’m going to be literally sucked to death by this little wolf girl!’
‘I know you won’t let
die, right? Just like how you first warned
to dodge that assassination attempt.’
‘Right?’
[Luo Nan, calm down and think carefully about what you currently possess.]
‘What? Again with the riddles? Can’t you just speak plainly… I’m losing my life force every second!’
‘Cheat Device Miss?’
‘Cheat Device Miss?’
‘Fine… maybe this level of hint is all I’m going to get.’
Seeing that he could extract no further clues from Cheat Device Miss, Luo Nan had no choice but to activate his own brain and seriously consider whether any item he currently carried might hold the key to breaking this deadlock.
‘My Black Gold credit card—useless… a whole bunch of bottles and jars—useless… the ‘scale from the corner of a rmaid’s eye’ I just acquired—also useless…’
‘The black curse skull I got for free—forget it, that’s even less likely to work.’
‘Could it be…’
Recalling every item he possessed, applying process of elimination to rule out all wrong answers, Luo Nan finally found the one correct solution.
‘No way… this is Mr. Tree’s reserved item.’
When Luo Nan’s thoughts narrowed solely to the ‘residue of divine observation’, he hesitated montarily.
‘I rember the auctioneer clearly said during the auction that this Saint’s Blood originated from soone highly accomplished in the spiritual realm. And since the Goddess of Frozen Winter is a primary deity, her power indeed overlaps with concepts like ‘calming’ and ‘soothing’.’
‘This is the only option left.’
‘Mr. Tree, the divine essence you require surely exists elsewhere in this world—multiple tis over. If I don’t use this one to save myself now, I won’t be able to collect new sources of essence for you later…’
‘I hope you understand.’
With this thought, Luo Nan silently apologized to Mr. Tree in his heart.
Then, without caring whether Mr. Tree would punish him, Luo Nan clenched his teeth and released the massive rectangular sealed cabinet from his spatial storage magic device, supporting himself with his right hand as he struggled to stand.
Crack—
His swinging fist shattered the fragile seal layer. Ignoring the fact that his right hand—just beginning to heal—was now re-bleeding from shards of glass embedded in its flesh, he grabbed the tear-shaped crystal glowing with icy blue light.
“You’re lucky, little wolf girl—this is worth 400 Gold Faras!”
“So… how do I use it again? Screw it—I’ll try topical application first.”
As soon as the words left his lips, Luo Nan pressed the icy blue Saint’s Blood directly onto the girl’s forehead.
