Xiao Yixia panicked the moment she heard this. She hadn’t expected Borhes to be such a madman—ruining a company over something so trivial, and even wanting to capture and torture the netizens who answered the question…
Those netizens were her fellow countrymen. She absolutely could not let them come to this hell because of one lie she told!
Borhes gently set Xiao Yixia down on the carpet to stand, then teleported to retrieve his phone and dialed Lynn’s number.
Seeing this, Xiao Yixia had no choice but to tell the truth.
“Don’t! Their answers were correct. I lied to you just now. Don’t drag innocent people into this.”
Borhes suddenly thought of something, and the corner of his lips curved into a handsome smile.
“I can let those humans go, but you’ll have to soothe my fragile little heart that was deceived.”
Xiao Yixia felt a wave of nausea rise in her stomach.
“How do I soothe it?”
Borhes’s eyes were full of anticipation.
“Call me ‘hubby’!”
Xiao Yixia refused.
“Dream on!”
Borhes gave a teasing smile.
“Since Xiaxia is unwilling, then I won’t force you.”
With that, Borhes spoke into the phone.
“Lynn, that website they used to look up information…”
Before Borhes could finish his sentence, the phone was knocked out of his hand by Xiao Yixia.
“Don’t! I’ll say it, fine. H-hub… hubby…”
Borhes’s lips curled upward involuntarily.
“Xiaxia, your voice just now was even softer than a newborn kitten’s mew. I couldn’t hear a single word you said.”
Xiao Yixia was furious.
“You! My voice just now was a bit quieter than my usual speaking volume, but there’s no way you couldn’t hear it! Besides, you’re a member of the Vampire Race—your hearing is exceptionally good!”
Borhes smiled with amusement at the corner of his mouth.
“Xiaxia, I really didn’t hear it just now. Would you be so kind as to say it once more?”
Xiao Yixia decided to go all in. She glared at Borhes with “ferocity.”
“You can’t hear, is that it? Fine, I’ll say it again—so listen carefully!”
After saying this, Xiao Yixia first gestured for Borhes to bend down, then shouted directly into his ear at the top of her lungs.
“Hubby…”
Xiao Yixia used the highest pitch she could produce, so not only did Borhes hear that “hubby,” but so did Lynn on the other end of the phone, along with all the vampire guards and vampire maids…
All the guards and maids: The Queen usually seems so gentle and delicate—who knew she could speak so loudly! Er… not just loudly! It should be said that it was extraordinarily loud!
Lynn: Your Majesty, have you no decency? Calling me just to show off your love life—aren’t you afraid I’ll cry myself to death? After all, I’m a single dog, wuwu…
The hearing of the Vampire Race was extremely acute, so Xiao Yixia’s shout at Borhes was no different from blasting a loudspeaker directly into a human’s ear. Borhes’s ears were thoroughly blasted by the high-pitched scream.
Though his ears suffered, Borhes was absolutely delighted. He smiled and kissed Xiao Yixia on the cheek.
“Wifey!”
Xiao Yixia felt disgusted, but she didn’t dare scold Borhes at the moment, lest he redirect his anger toward those innocent fellow countrymen. So she could only change the subject.
“Help me take a look—what clothes would look good on me?”
Borhes was overjoyed at these words.
“Xiaxia, you’re willing to let me pick out clothes for you?”
Xiao Yixia nodded against her true feelings.
“Yes.”
Borhes’s eyes swept rapidly across all the clothes in the room, and in the next moment, a light blue gauze dress appeared before Xiao Yixia.
“Xiaxia, how about this dress?”
Xiao Yixia took the blue tulle dress.
“Fine, I’ll wear this one. Go wait for me in the bedroom next door. I’ll come over once I’ve changed.”
Borhes let out a soft chuckle.
“Xiaxia, no need to be shy. Is there any part of you I haven’t seen? Just change right here in front of me. If you don’t have the strength, I can help you change too!”
Xiao Yixia pushed Borhes toward the bedroom.
“You get out!”
Borhes smiled and let Xiao Yixia push her along.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you in the bedroom. Come over once you’re dressed.”
Xiao Yixia dawdled, taking five full minutes to change. In truth, changing a dress didn’t require that long—she just wanted a few brief moments of freedom to herself.
After changing, Xiao Yixia was about to head to the bedroom when, suddenly, Borhes teleported right in front of her. The next instant, she was tightly wrapped in Borhes’s arms.
“Xiaxia, why did it take so long? I thought something had happened to you! If I weren’t afraid you’d be angry with me, I would have rushed over long ago.”
Xiao Yixia lied.
“Girls just take longer to change. What’s the hurry?”
Borhes planted a kiss on Xiao Yixia’s lips.
“Xiaxia, wearing this blue tulle dress, you look like a little blue sprite. That’s why I was afraid you might fly away…”
As Borhes spoke, a thought suddenly struck her.
“Xiaxia, let me comb your hair.”
The moment the words left her mouth, Borhes scooped Xiao Yixia up in her arms and teleported to the bedroom. She gently set Xiao Yixia down on the vanity stool, then picked up a comb and began to brush her hair.
Borhes had deft hands, and soon a fairy-princess hairstyle was complete. Borhes smiled with satisfaction.
“Xiaxia, you’re so beautiful!”
Xiao Yixia looked at herself in the mirror, and she suddenly felt like a little blue sprite who had wandered into the world of the Vampire Race…
But it was only a fleeting moment of daze before Xiao Yixia snapped back to her senses. She silently scolded herself.
[Xiao Yixia, stop flattering yourself! “How shameless”! Praising yourself like that! Have you no shame!]
Just as Xiao Yixia was berating herself inwardly, she was suddenly scooped up by Borhes, and the next instant, kisses rained down on her thick and fast…
Xiao Yixia pushed hard against Borhes, but Borhes didn’t budge an inch—instead, she kissed her even more fiercely…
This feeling of being at someone’s mercy made Xiao Yixia feel terribly wronged, and teardrops the size of beans uncontrollably slipped from the corners of her eyes…
Tasting the saltiness, Borhes suddenly snapped back to her senses. She immediately stopped kissing and buried her head in the crook of Xiao Yixia’s neck, panting heavily.
“Xiaxia, I’m sorry. Just now, looking at you, I couldn’t hold back… Xiaxia, you’re really so beautiful… Xiaxia, don’t cry. I won’t kiss you anymore…”
Xiao Yixia’s tears fell in a steady patter.
“Let me go! You beast!”
Borhes carried Xiao Yixia and teleported to the sofa, sitting down, then gently wiped her tears with a tissue.
“Xiaxia, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault… Hit me if you want. I won’t fight back.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yixia cried even louder.
“Hitting you won’t even hurt. What kind of apology is that? You beast, you only know how to bully me! What have I ever done to wrong you, that you have to torment me like this?
I came to Y Country properly to study abroad, and yet you kidnapped me to this godforsaken place of the Vampire Race! I have no grudge against you, so why must you treat me so cruelly?”
Borhes clumsily wiped away Xiao Yixia’s tears.
“Xiaxia, stop crying. It’s all my fault, all my doing! As long as you stop crying, I’ll do anything you ask!”
At that, Xiao Yixia’s eyes lit up, and she immediately stopped crying.
“Then I want you to let me go!”
Borhes shook his head.
“That won’t do, Xiaxia. Ask for something else!”
Xiao Yixia continued,
“Then I want you to never touch me again from now on!”
Borhes refused.
“That won’t do either!”
Xiao Yixia let out a cold snort.
“Then I want to die right now, and you’re not allowed to stop me!”
Borhes refused again.
“That won’t do either!”
Xiao Yixia said coldly,
“You just said that as long as I didn’t cry, you’d do anything I asked. But what’s the reality? This won’t do, that won’t do! Liar! I’ll never believe a word you say again!”
