Beauty Snake - Chapter 52
Chapter 52: Heh, Well Then, She Won’t Be Polite…
Having made up her mind, Ji Yunfei hurriedly finished packing. Without allowing Xie Yin to ask questions, she grabbed the luggage and pulled her down the mountain, heading straight for the Hot Spring Villa located halfway up.
Ding-ling— The doorbell chimed. The front desk lady looked up, wearing a trademark professional smile.
“Welcome to Mount Mingyang Hot Spring Villa—”
“How can I help you?”
Seeing the enthusiastic attitude of the receptionist, Ji Yunfei’s hand tightened around the tickets. She gritted her teeth and hesitantly handed them over.
“Um… these tickets…”
Upon seeing the tickets, the receptionist’s smile took on a meaningful depth. She glanced at the two of them seemingly casually: “Is this your first time here?”
“Don’t worry, our service and privacy protection are top-notch…”
“Enjoy yourselves—” With that, the tickets—now missing their stubs—were handed back to Ji Yunfei, along with a pair of red and blue room wristbands.
After quickly completing the check-in process, Ji Yunfei, with a face as ripe as a tomato, pulled Xie Yin toward the room indicated by the numbers on the wristbands.
Beep— She pressed the wristband against the lock. With a click, the door swung open.
When she saw the interior layout, Ji Yunfei’s already red face turned an even more vivid shade of crimson, looking as if it might bleed. Even Xie Yin, who usually remained composed, couldn’t help but feel her ears redden.
The first thing that caught the eye was a large circular waterbed, draped with embroidered silks and surrounded by sheer gauze curtains. Hanging above the headboard was a massive piece of abstract art depicting lovers in an embrace, their figures intertwining against a dreamy background, gazes locked in deep affection.
In a corner of the private courtyard stood a heart-shaped spring, surrounded by colorful lights, its surface covered in red rose petals amidst rising mist.
But clearly, that wasn’t the most heart-pounding part. Both of their gazes froze the moment they looked at the ceiling.
It was a giant mirror, positioned directly over the circular waterbed. Every movement on the bed would be reflected with crystal clarity.
“Haha… this is a bit too “atmospheric”…”
“Is this really appropriate?!”
Ji Yunfei stole a glance at Xie Yin, who was equally silent. Catching a faint hint of pink amidst those black locks, she spoke tentatively: “Ahem… should we… change rooms?”
She expected Xie Yin to have the same idea, but to her surprise, the other woman simply let out a light laugh and laid down on the waterbed of her own accord.
“Why change?”
“I actually think it’s quite nice… very atmospheric.”
“Is A-Fei shy?”
Hearing this, Ji Yunfei pouted: “You’re just teasing me.” She paused, then muttered under her breath: “Fine, we’ll stay… we’ll see who’s the shy one then…”
After settling their things, Ji Yunfei’s stomach made a very impolite protest. She looked at Xie Yin, who was currently frowning at her laptop screen, and spoke up.
“Want to go eat first? The buffet here is supposed to be amazing…”
Xie Yin shifted her gaze from the screen to Ji Yunfei, her furrowed brows relaxing slightly: “I’m sorry, A-Fei. There’s an emergency meeting at the company. You go ahead first; I’ll come find you later.”
Seeing the apology in Xie Yin’s eyes, Ji Yunfei didn’t think much of it. She nodded, grabbed her things, and headed out. On her way to the restaurant, she happened to spot a group of familiar faces.
They were gathered in the public lounge area, playing cards boisterously. The loudest among them was none other than the golden-haired Chi Chang.
“Pair of Aces!”
“Beat that!”
“…”
“Bomb!”
“Hahahaha! I won again! Where are the strips? Stick ’em on!!” Chi Chang, with two white paper strips already stuck to her face, slammed down her last four cards and laughed maniacally.
Ji Yunfei silently pulled out her phone, snapped a photo of Chi Chang’s smug face, and sent it to her.
FFF: [Image Sent]
FFF: “Someone forgot to mention that the entire company would be here…”
After sending the message, Ji Yunfei crossed her arms and watched the reaction from afar.
The person in the distance froze after checking her phone, then stiffly turned her head as if searching for something.
The moment their eyes met, the shock on Chi Chang’s face immediately transformed into a fawning smile. She said something to the group and then walked toward the corner where Ji Yunfei was standing.
“Hehe… Feizi… let me explain—”
“Ow!” A sharp flick landed on Chi Chang’s head. She covered her head with one hand and used the other to keep a distance from Ji Yunfei.
“The whole company is here…”
“Which means there are normal rooms…”
“What were your intentions giving me those couple’s tickets? Hmm?” Ji Yunfei transformed into a “smiling tiger,” pinching Chi Chang’s ear as she spoke in a soft, dangerous tone.
“I just thought it would help your relationship heat up…”
“Weren’t the couple’s tickets perfect for that?”
“Sleeping directly under a giant mirror on the ceiling…”
“Do you want to try it?” Ji Yunfei spoke through gritted teeth, recounting the embarrassing scene in the room. Her grip on Chi Chang’s ear tightened.
“Heroine, spare me! I really didn’t know the room was like that!” Chi Chang wept in her heart. How could her good intentions turn out like this?
Seeing Chi Chang’s pleading state, Ji Yunfei patted her head and said crossly: “Fine. Your punishment is to show me around.”
“Eh? Me?”
“Is CEO Xie not with you?” Only then did Chi Chang realize Ji Yunfei was alone.
“She has a meeting; she’ll come when she’s done.”
“Stop talking and take me to get food.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Today, you are my boss—”
Knock, knock, knock—
Hearing the knocking, Xie Yin put down her laptop, walked to the door, and opened it.
Standing there was a woman dressed in a short-sleeved plaid suit. Unlike common Asian faces, this woman had deep-set eyes and a high bridge to her nose. Her pupils were as brilliant as gold, and her forest-green hair was tied back.
“Miss,” the woman outside spoke first.
“What’s with the fake formality? I’ve told you so many times, don’t call me Miss.” “But I’m surprised you got here so fast?” “Forget it… come in and sit.” Xie Yin was startled by the woman’s speed, but then she remembered her problem needed a quick resolution, so the early arrival was a good thing.
“You… this…” Taking in the room, the woman’s expression turned inquisitive, her tone hesitant.
“Ahem…” Xie Yin covered her lips and coughed awkwardly. She turned to pour two glasses of water and sat opposite the woman: “Amo, I found her…”
Hearing this, the hand of the woman named Amo trembled, causing some water to splash out of the glass.
Taking the tissue Xie Yin handed her, Amo wiped the water off her leg while asking: “Are you sure it’s her?”
“Could I ever mistake her for someone else? I’ll introduce you later.”
“But first, I called you here in a rush for something important.”
“Out of medicine? I can’t think of any other reason you’d call me,” Amo guessed, rubbing her chin.
Xie Yin sighed and shook her head: “The heat periods are getting more frequent. I’m starting to find it hard to control the manifestation of my snake tail.”
“And…” She paused. “The primitive nature of the snake is surfacing during the heat. I want to bite, to inject venom… I even want to devour.”
Amo fell silent, her head lowered, hiding her expression.
“You know exactly how many years you’ve been taking this medicine.”
“Since you were first able to fully transform into a human, this has never happened. Why so sudden?”
“My medicine only forcefully suppresses your heat, letting it pile up. It treats the symptoms, not the cause. The side effects should only make you feel more ‘high’ when the heat finally explodes; it absolutely shouldn’t affect your transformation or let your primitive instincts override your reason.”
“Think carefully. When did the abnormality start?”
“After I found her, I began contacting her through dreams.”
“During that time, I hit a heat period… so I sought her out in the dream to resolve it. I felt great right after, but the subsequent heat periods have been coming more and more frequently.”
“Did you want to devour anyone then?”
Xie Yin shook her head: “Not at all.” She froze, suddenly remembering something, and murmured: “Could it be related to that bald old monk?”
“Bald old monk?”
“Yes. A-Fei went to the temple where that old monk is. I could only vaguely sense him; his power is too deep. I don’t know the specifics.”
“That day, my whole body ached and my temperature spiked. Since then, my desire for A-Fei has become stronger and stronger.”
“The heat comes more often, and I have… other thoughts.”
“Tch, those old baldies. They’re like ghosts that won’t leave us alone.” Amo gritted her teeth and slammed her glass onto the table.
“Are you still resolving your heat through dreams? Have you had physical intimacy in reality?”
“…” Xie Yin fell silent, her face flushed. She lowered her head and spoke in a muffled voice: “No more dreams… I want her to come to me… we haven’t reached that step yet.”
“…” Now it was Amo’s turn to be silent. She stared at Xie Yin with a hint of “disdain” in her eyes: “You need to put that on the schedule. Doing things in a void won’t cure the root cause.”
“Observe the frequency of the heat for a bit longer. It’s possible you’ve just held it in too long and got too excited upon seeing the ‘antidote.’ Just try having actual physical contact first. I’ll go back and research a new medicine, though I hope you won’t need it soon…”
“As for the other two issues, do you want to find time to return to the clan? If this is the work of those monks, I’m afraid they have ill intentions.”
Xie Yin rubbed her furrowed brows and let out a silent sigh: “I suppose that’s the only way. I’ll find time to go back.”
“But… ‘actual physical contact’… care to elaborate?”
“That blockhead is so shy; I’m afraid progress will be slow.”
“Pffft—!”
“Is there really someone who can remain unmoved under the tent of the First Beauty of the Snake Clan?” Amo clicked her tongue in disbelief. Her look made Xie Yin want to crawl into a hole.
Xie Yin shot her a sharp look, and the woman immediately behaved, fiddling with her phone.
Ding—ding—ding— Notifications rang. Xie Yin checked her phone to find the woman had sent a massive pile of files.
She opened them with confusion, and in the next second, her face was completely crimson. However, her hands didn’t stop, scrolling through them one by one.
