Chapter 38: Finally Behaving
“And, if you fail on the last day, you will also be punished,” Feng Lingcan added.
Punished?! I looked at Mo Ming, who lowered his head, his expression growing serious and grave.
“What kind of punishment?” I asked nervously.
“Hmph. How boring.” Fu Su flicked his half-length scarf and chuckled dismissively.
Feng Lingcan looked at me calmly and peacefully. “You will never be able to form a contract again.”
“Eh?” What to do? Suddenly, that didn’t sound so bad?
“And…”
What?! There’s more?! I immediately tensed up.
Feng Lingcan paused, looking at Mo Ming. “Mo MIng will no longer be able to form a contract with anyone. He will become a masterless wolf, a disgrace to the Wolf God clan.”
I took a deep breath. This was serious.
“And you,” Feng Lingcan looked at me, “you will also be unable to form a contract with any of the Wolf God clan. A mark will be left on you, and any Wolf God, upon seeing you and knowing you broke the contract, will scorn you.”
Uh…
Just scorned…
Actually, I kind of scorn myself too…
I was just a mortal. If I hadn’t been brought to the celestial realm, none of the Wolf God clan would know me, Xia Xiao Lan. Even when they were on missions, they wouldn’t give a mortal like Xia Xiao Lan a second glance.
The only reason the Wolf God clan knew me today was because of the contract with Mo Ming.
“Hey, that dog is so weak, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have him~~~” Fu Su curled his lip and glanced contemptuously at Mo Ming.
My eyes narrowed in anger. I stared at Fu Su. “Mo Ming, you’re mine now, right?”
“Yes!”
Jiang Yan facepalmed again, as if my every word was driving him to despair. He sighed and took out the dew-collecting bottle from his arms, as if checking how much of my blood was left.
Senior Feng Lingcan chuckled and shook his head.
Fu Su immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at me coldly, as if ready to annihilate me at any moment.
I stared back at him, continuing to speak to Mo Ming. “You’ll follow all my orders, right?”
“Yes!”
“Good!” I narrowed my eyes and abruptly pointed at Fu Su. “Get on Fu Su for me!”
“Clatter.” The bottle in Senior Jiang Yan’s hand fell.
“Cough, cough, cough!” Senior Feng Lingcan started coughing violently.
Fu Su also stiffened for a moment.
“That’s absolutely impossible!” Mo Ming said loudly.
I immediately looked at him. “Why?”
He looked at me seriously for a moment, furrowing his brow. “Because… I don’t know how.”
Pfft! I almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
“Clatter.” The bottle that Senior Jiang Yan had just picked up fell again. He squatted there, starting to turn into a stone statue.
Senior Feng Lingcan also looked away, burying his hands in his pockets with a flustered look, and exhaling deeply.
Fu Su was speechless, as if he couldn’t be bothered with us anymore.
I looked at the embarrassed Mo Ming. “So you wouldn’t… do that with a girl either?”
His face instantly flushed crimson. He turned his head away, tightening his grip on my hand, and mumbled, “Yeah.”
“Whew…” I breathed a sigh of relief, patting my chest. “Then I’m relieved…”
I sat down beside him. Senior Jiang Yan picked up the blood bottle again, collapsing weakly to the ground, looking more mentally and physically exhausted than after a fight.
Senior Feng Lingcan shook his head, both exasperated and amused. He also sighed and sat down, looking up at the starry sky.
Mo Ming stood awkwardly, neither sitting nor standing. He was holding my hand, so if he didn’t sit down, my hand would just dangle.
“Sit down~~ My arm is getting tired~~” I tugged at my arm, and he blinked before finally sitting.
“Hey, I don’t mind you getting on me~~~~” Fu Su suddenly spoke again, stirring up trouble, crossing his arms and looking down at me with a wicked smile, as if his willingness to bestow his favors upon me was my greatest honor!
“Shameless!” Senior Jiang Yan said while taking out a blood bag and sucking on it.
Fu Su immediately glared at him.
I wasn’t going to be outdone. “If you don’t mind all the bacteria on me, then lie down now.”
“Pfft!” Senior Jiang Yan spat out his blood.
“Huh!” Senior Feng Lingcan choked, looking at Jiang Yan in amusement. “Does Xiao Lan always talk like this?”
Senior Jiang Yan facepalmed. “She didn’t used to… After sleeping with Mo Ming for so long… She might have forgotten the girly part of herself…”
“Huh.” Senior Feng Lingcan chuckled repeatedly.
Fu Su’s face darkened.
I raised my chin and looked at him, as if challenging him.
He looked me over again and again, then suddenly turned around. “Ugh!”
“Fu Su, you’re exaggerating!” Am I really that disgusting?!
Feng Lingcan reached out and patted Fu Su, his hand landing squarely on Fu Su’s butt. “Take care!”
“Don’t touch my ass!” Fu Su whirled around, practically shouting.
Feng Lingcan smiled at him. “Then sit down.”
Fu Su narrowed his eyes warily, then smirked. “Can, don’t tell me you’re actually interested in me. Even touching my ass.” Fu Su touched his own butt again.
“Yes~~~ You keep provoking me, and you’ve finally caught my attention~~~” Feng Lingcan teased back.
Fu Su smiled wickedly, sat down, and put his arm around Feng Lingcan. He glanced at me. “Tell me, what exactly do you find attractive about that mortal?”
Feng Lingcan’s smile turned cold. “And what is it about her that attracts you?”
Fu Su narrowed his eyes and smiled at Feng Lingcan, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
While these two were engaged in their bromantic exchange, Senior Jiang Yan calmly sucked on his blood bag, his hair, complexion, lip color, and appearance fading as if losing color.
“Senior Jiang Yan! What’s wrong with you?!” I looked at him with concern. If he had drunk my blood, there was no reason for him to deteriorate so quickly.
Fu Su and Feng Lingcan also looked at Jiang Yan, who drooped his eyelids, holding the blood bag in his mouth, returning to his listless appearance. “It’s nothing. I just used a drop of your blood to forcibly activate my ultimate form. I’ve just run out of energy.”
Senior Jiang Yan said it casually, but it made me feel even worse.
“A drop of her blood?” Fu Su glanced darkly at Jiang Yan. “How did you get that one’s blood?”
“That one”?
I held back—
I won’t argue with a spoiled deity, lest I age prematurely.
“Xiao Lan’s name is Xia Xiao Lan, not ‘that one’!” Mo Ming said in a deep voice.
Fu Su leaned back, ignoring Mo Ming completely, his hands on the grass, one leg crossed over the other, swaying smugly. “Adults are talking, children should stay out of it.”
“Who are you calling a child?” Mo Ming’s killing intent surged.
Fu Su glanced at Mo Ming with a wicked smile. “Someone who can’t get it up is still a child, of course.”
“Who says I can’t get it up!” Mo Ming said darkly.
I’m going to lose it. Do they think I’m invisible?!
“Getting it up doesn’t mean you know what to do with it…”
“Enough!” I yelled, lowering my head. Instantly, the world became quiet, everyone’s gaze focused on me. The night wind blew, my long hair swaying with the grass.
I hugged my head. Everyone fell silent. Fu Su slowly rocked his crossed legs, Feng Lingcan continued to gaze at the starry sky, and Senior Jiang Yan lay weakly on the ground, still holding the blood bag in his mouth as if he couldn’t let it go.
