Chapter 76 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Nan Yin always seemed to be kept busy day by day, as it is just her personality, much like now. Having just bid farewell to Jiang Mi and Xia Yiyi, who still had classes to attend, Nan Yin was now hugging the little white fox she had just "caught," getting ready to head towards Miao Luo's place. What was she going to do at Miao Luo's? Nan Yin admitted it was simply out of boredom and curiosity to see what kind of fox the female protagonist from the original book was. After all, the original novel barely mentioned anything about it. And who could understand a fox better than another fox? In an instant, Nan Yin thought of Miao Luo, also a fox demon from the Qingqiu realm, who was sure to know all about this little critter. "What's the matter with you? Why do you look so listless?" This was in a small alley near Nan Yin's home. A beautiful girl in a black hoodie and long flowing hair was gazing indifferently at her own hands, while at that moment, the all-white little fox had already become limp and flaccid. Nan Yin had long noticed something was off about this little critter, which led to her impatient inquiry. She didn't really care if the fox could understand human speech. In fact, she wasn't expecting any answers from the little creature. So after murmuring that question, Nan Yin started mulling over the reasons for the little fox's condition. Could it be expecting a baby? Nan Yin couldn't help but think about it, after all, the little thing was a vixen... Ahem! Shaking her head to dispel those absurd thoughts from her mind, Nan Yin looked at the little fox in her arms. It was still limp, its fox ears hanging low. "Just now, you were so lively and even preparing to pounce on me." Nan Yin frowned and pinched the back of the little fox's neck, her face filled with impatience. She never liked keeping these small pets. She saw it as nothing but a futile waste of energy for pointless enjoyment. Moreover, Nan Yin wasn't keen on taking care of these seemingly fragile little lives. "Could it be hungry?" Nan Yin considered a more plausible possibility. But when she bought a fast-food chicken leg from a vending machine by the street and stuffed it into the little critter's mouth, it didn't seem at all interested in the delicacy. This only made Nan Yin more annoyed since the chicken leg had cost her two credits, and now she couldn't possibly eat it after it had been in the fox's mouth. On the other hand, Can Yin, who had managed to get new clothes from somewhere, bounced out of the screen "snap" and grabbed the chicken leg that Nan Yin had discarded, looking as if she was going to eat it herself. "What's wrong, are you planning to eat it yourself?" Nan Yin raised an eyebrow. However, Can Yin raised her little head strangely and then extended her hand, "snap," and held onto the end of the chicken leg, dragging it back... dragging it back... Nan Yin was utterly disappointed at this adorable version of herself and turned her attention back to the little fox in her hands. "Gee, why are you so troublesome?" Nan Yin was already starting to regret snatching this little creature from Li Meng. Couldn't she leave this trouble to the male protagonist instead? As she thought about this, Nan Yin impatiently placed the little fox on her left arm and prepared to head to Miao Luo's place. But then, Nan Yin noticed the little critter suddenly perking up. It raised its head and directly nuzzled against a certain spot on Nan Yin's arm. At the same time, Nan Yin also felt a tingling sensation there—a spot where she had bandaged herself in one of her daily training sessions. It wasn't a severe injury, but it needed to be bandaged, so even now Nan Yin could still smell the faint bloody scent on herself. Wait... the smell of blood? Could it be... "Are you trying to drink blood?" Nan Yin furrowed her brows. She suddenly remembered the male protagonist Su Xiao Yu and this little fox being in bed in the original book, and indeed, after lovemaking, he had been bitten more than once on the neck. Could it be... the fox also drinks blood? At this thought, Nan Yin decided to put it to the test. She immediately lifted her index finger to her mouth, bit it hard enough to draw blood, and before it could flow out, she inserted it into the little white fox's mouth. Sure enough, the little creature not only didn't reject it but seemed quite happy, clasping Nan Yin's wrist with its little paws, just like a baby suckling its mother’s milk, licking and sucking on Nan Yin's finger. She could clearly feel her blood being drawn into the little fox’s mouth, into its belly. Intentional or not, Nan Yin could sense that the little fox didn't actually drink much blood, and technically, the amount of blood drawn wasn't as much as when Nan Yin first had her monthly cycle yesterday night. "But... do you really drink blood?" Nan Yin gazed at the little creature in her arms with an odd expression. Nan Yin carried the little white fox into a cake shop, and Miao Luo, with sharp eyes, brightened up and immediately came to greet them. "Oh? Where did this little one come from? Let sister hold it!" The little fox was supposed to resist, but as soon as it saw the nine tails behind Miao Luo, it obediently outstretched its limbs and let Miao Luo take it from Nan Yin's arms. "Oh, it's a snow fox from Tu Mountain! I wonder which clan’s patriarch was so careless, letting such a young bloodline wander outside," Miao Luo expressed concern as she ran her hand along the little fox's fur. "Miao sister, is this little fox from your clan?" Nan Yin asked curiously, watching Miao Luo's fondness for the little creature. "No, not at all," Miao Luo shook her head. "I'm from the Qingqiu line of foxes, and I've already left my original family." "As for this little one, if I’m not mistaken, it should belong to the Tu Mountain clan of foxes from the God Flame, but I don't know if there's been any trouble in their family, to let this little one wander in the outside world before its transformation." Miao Luo returned the little fox to Nan Yin. "Oh, I see." Nan Yin actually didn't care about the background of this white fox. After all, its destined place was with the male protagonist, Su Xiao Yu. All the intricate and complicated background stories—she left those to the male protagonist to worry about. "By the way, Miao sister, I fed this little one with my blood. Is that going to cause any trouble?" Nan Yin suddenly remembered her impulsive action today. If only she hadn't used blood to feed it! She cursed herself for blindly trying to prove the game’s claims without considering the potential side effects of her actions. "You fed it with your blood?" Miao Luo furrowed her beautiful brows at Nan Yin's words. "She hasn't been weaned yet, and it looks like she doesn't even remember clearly who her birth mother is. At this time, when you rashly fed her with blood..." Miao Luo then glanced at the little fox snuggling in Nan Yin's arms. "She is very likely to see you as her relative, or even more so, looking at you as her mother," Miao Luo uttered.
