Beauty Snake - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Her Mind Held Only That Person’s Paranoid, Red-Eyed Gaze—A Look That Focused Solely On Her, Like A Mad Dog Refusing To Be Abandoned.

As she spoke, Xie Yin moved, tugging off the fur coat draped loosely over her shoulders. Beneath the coat, because she was wearing a sleeveless gown, smooth white skin came into view, glowing with a faint luster. The lines of her shoulders were soft and fluid, like curves meticulously sketched by an artist, extending toward her elegant, slender neck.

Ji Yunfei’s breath hitched instantly. She stood frozen in place, forgetting how to move.

The parching heat scorched Xie Yin. Her mind, which had been slightly clear, had long since burned into a muddle, and her vision grew blurred. She looked at the dazed person before her. Her nose twitched as a strange fragrance wafted up, and she leaned into Ji Yunfei’s ear, parting her lips: “A-Fei smells so good…”

The scorching breath, laced with a hint of wine, brushed against her ear. Ji Yunfei’s earlobes turned red in betrayal, and the flush quickly spread across her cheeks and down to the base of her neck.

It turns out drunkenness is contagious.

“Then… do you want to eat? Or… be eaten?” Turning around, Ji Yunfei pinned her against the door, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, her voice raspy.

Hearing this, Xie Yin’s eyes grew misty, revealing a pleading expression: “Both, okay…?” She then locked her arms firmly around Ji Yunfei’s neck, her legs coiling around the other’s waist. “As long as it’s A-Fei, anything is fine…”

Having received permission, Ji Yunfei no longer restrained herself. She immediately carried her into the bedroom and, with a hint of urgency, tossed her onto the soft, large bed.

The person on the bed proactively reached behind her back—Zip— the moment the back zipper reached the bottom, her patience also reached its limit.

The wooden hairpin holding up her hair was tossed onto the floor, making a crisp clacking sound. Ji Yunfei watched as Xie Yin lazily ran her fingers through her cascading black hair and beckoned her with a finger, her eyes seductive and silken: “A-Fei, help me… take it off…”

“Wait a moment…” Ji Yunfei’s throat was terrifyingly dry. She moved her hands to let down her own hair, her chestnut-brown locks pouring down to her waist in an instant.

She took Xie Yin’s hand, leading her step by step to peel away the obstructing barriers until only their primal selves remained.

“Are you still hot now?” She reached out to wrap her arms around the waist of the person sitting astride her legs, whose eyes were full of affection, her tone teasing.

“Mm…” The dry heat in her body didn’t subside; instead, it grew more intense. The dizzying fog was about to strip Xie Yin of her ability to think, yet her remaining logic kept warning her that this was far too abnormal.

But the voice in her heart kept repeating: I want this person’s love, I want to be possessed by this person, I want everything this person has…

Love, body, everything…

Ji Yunfei is Xie Yin’s possession. Only she can covet her…

Her A-Fei, her A-Fei…

“Hngh…” The moment she was pressed down, Xie Yin couldn’t help but let out a soft groan—not from pain, but from the fire, the flames of desire.

The dolls arranged at the head of the bed were somehow all swept to the floor, leaving only a small calico dog doll dangling half-off the edge. Its black button eyes looked on with an unexpectedly chilling gaze.

Ji Yunfei frowned. She didn’t care where the doll came from or what it was; she simply felt that everything currently in sight besides Xie Yin was an annoyance. So, she swiped it onto the floor to join the others.

Everything in the way must go.

In an instant, the atmosphere reached its peak, the room filled with a lingering, hazy intimacy.

A broken, melodic chord—gasped out unconsciously due to the rising tide of emotion—stirred the imagination and made hearts pound.

In the pile of discarded dolls that no one noticed, a faint, dark light flashed across the yellow brocade pouch around the calico dog’s neck. The bright red bloodstain that had previously stained the pouch from Ji Yunfei’s finger wound began to fade, shrink, and vanish at a visible rate.

The pouch returned to its brand-new state.

“A-Fei…” As if she had exhausted all her strength, Xie Yin softly called Ji Yunfei’s name and held her gently, being excessively clingy.

“I’m here…” Ji Yunfei’s movements were tender as she tucked a stray lock of hair behind Xie Yin’s ear, responding in a low voice. Her gaze drifted to the corners of Xie Yin’s eyes, which still held faint traces of tears, making her heart ache with pity.

The sunset clouds that usually belonged to the evening were now generously gifted to Xie Yin’s face, turning every visible inch of her skin a deep crimson.

Time flowed. The city, which was never overly loud to begin with, fell into a complete hush. The lights of ten thousand homes went out one by one. Only the high night sky remained.

But the indescribable, restless discomfort torturing Xie Yin never subsided. Instead, it burned even more fiercely, like a bonfire constantly fed with fresh wood. When warmth crosses the line, only scorching heat and pain remain. It felt as if it would burn her to ashes.

“The night is still long…” Ji Yunfei leaned down and kissed the forehead of the person beneath her. Her tone was gentle, but her actions did not slow down.

“The night is still long, let’s take our time, Yinyin…” A fragment of memory flashed through her mind. A needle-like prick of pain followed, and then several memory shards began to play like a slideshow.

“Your name is Xie Yin? Then I shall call you Yinyin… Do not call me Miss, call me A-Fei…”

“I also find joy in you…”

“You are a snake demon…? Go, my father will not let you off… Go quickly!”

“Father… Mother… Sister… My whole clan is dead. How can you expect me to live in this world alone? Get out! I do not want to see you! In this life and the next, never let me see you again!”

“I hate demons most of all, especially snake demons.”

Before her eyes was the gaze of a noble young lady in tattered finery, full of despair and resentment. Xie Yin could no longer distinguish between memory and reality. Her body trembled uncontrollably: “No… don’t… A-Fei…”

“Yinyin…” Ji Yunfei watched Xie Yin’s trembling body and the tears seeping from the corners of her eyes, calling out instinctively. Sensing the shift in Xie Yin’s emotions, she stopped her movements and pulled her into an embrace, gently stroking her back.

“You and I are even from now on. A-Zhi is very good to me… We love each other…” The once-noble lady was now dressed in coarse hemp clothes, firmly holding the hand of another girl who was also in coarse clothes and looked a bit rustic. Her eyes held a deep meaning, but mostly, they were filled with cold indifference. After saying this, the lady stopped looking at her and turned her gaze to the person beside her. That look—Xie Yin knew it well. It was the look that once belonged only to her… gentle enough, tender enough…

“You are mine… You can only be mine!” Along with the sound of grinding teeth, the Xie Yin beneath her spat out these words without context.

Before Ji Yunfei could speak, an irresistible force struck her. In the blink of an eye, her wrists were firmly pinned down. Their positions reversed; the attack had changed hands.

“You— mmph!” Ji Yunfei was confused by Xie Yin’s roller-coaster of emotions, but her first thought was to offer comfort. However, her lips were barely parted before they were violently blocked, and the words she wanted to say were shoved back down.

Discarding her usual gentleness and submissiveness, Xie Yin’s eyes were now rimmed with red. The kiss that was normally as soft as a spring breeze had turned into a hurricane, vowing to sweep everything away with undeniable force.

“Hngh…” A sharp pain came from the tip of her tongue, and a faint metallic taste of blood spread through her mouth. Ji Yunfei struggled, trying to push the person off her, but Xie Yin’s strength was now terrifyingly immense. No matter what, she was held in a death-grip, forced to endure that vent-like kiss.

“Xie Yin… calm down…” Finally finding a gap, Ji Yunfei panted, whispering comfort. But this soothing only seemed to further stimulate her.

“Xie Yin… calm down… I don’t love you anymore. Forcing me will only make me hate you more!” With red-rimmed eyes, the person in tattered clothes was pressed into a corner, still speaking the most heart-wrenching words, carving at Xie Yin’s heart like a blade.

“I don’t believe you…” She reached out and gripped the other’s neck, though she ultimately controlled her strength, merely biting at those swollen red lips like a mad dog. The taste of blood filled her mouth, and her tongue instinctively met the droplets of blood seeping from the lips.

It was a faint rusty taste, but more than that, it was sweet—so sweet it made her lose control and want more…

“I want your body, your heart, your everything…” She was a madwoman, a paranoid freak with excessive possessiveness. Gentleness and restraint were the best masks she prepared for herself. Once someone was marked with her scent, they became her possession, and their fate would be decided by her…

“Eat her, eat her, she is yours…”

“She no longer loves you, so eat her. Don’t let anyone else have a chance to touch her…”

“Become one completely…”

A hollow, distant chanting echoed in her ears. A raspy voice repeated the words, bewitching Xie Yin into consuming this person who no longer loved her so that she could never run away again…

“You, fragrant, mine. Let’s become one… Never leave me…” Xie Yin shook her head, repeating words that Ji Yunfei couldn’t understand.

“Xie Yin… wake up…” Her neck was still firmly held, making it difficult for Ji Yunfei even to speak. She tried to call Xie Yin out of this eerie state, but it was useless.

“Hiss—” A sharp pain flared in her shoulder. She could almost hear the sound of fangs piercing through flesh. Physiological tears spilled out uncontrollably. Ji Yunfei gritted her teeth, refusing to make a sound.

Fangs belonging to a snake punctured her skin, trying to dig deeper. The warm, soft tongue had unknowingly turned into a cold, long, slender snake tongue, curling away the seeping blood bit by bit.

“Want more…”

The cold sensation on her shoulder made Ji Yunfei shrink back instinctively. Her heart began to race. At some point, the surroundings had been filled with that narcissus fragrance, so thick it made her head spin.

The familiar narcissus scent—dizzying and fever-inducing—lured the prey into the hunter’s trap willingly.

The checkered quilt was tossed aside by a sudden force, and the last layer of protection vanished. From the warm space to a sudden chill, Ji Yunfei’s legs jerked back, but they were soon tightly entwined, unable to move an inch.

By the light in the room, Ji Yunfei looked at her own legs. One look was enough to last a lifetime—it was a giant snake tail that had only ever appeared in her dreams.

And right now, this black-and-yellow, faintly shimmering snake tail was coiled tightly around her legs, just like its owner: paranoid and brooks no resistance.

The undeniable sense of restriction and the icy cold on her legs stimulated Ji Yunfei’s brain.

She finally realized: Xie Yin was the “Snake Beauty,” and the “Snake Beauty” was Xie Yin.

So, from the very beginning, it was all Xie Yin’s deliberate seduction…

From the start, Xie Yin had meticulously laid a trap for her, and she had been played like a fool, charging headfirst into a snare designed specifically for her.

Having been kept in the dark for so long, she clearly should have felt angry, or felt that there were sinister plots hidden behind this. But strangely, she couldn’t summon a single ounce of annoyance.

Her mind held only that person’s paranoid, red-eyed gaze—a look that focused solely on her, like a mad dog refusing to be abandoned.

A weird sense of satisfaction rose in her heart.

She even felt a trace of relief. Xie Yin and the Snake Beauty were the same person. The person she had been involved with, from start to finish, was always Xie Yin—there was never anyone else.

Only her and her.

When she met that pair of pale green snake pupils, the relief in her heart grew even stronger, so much so that she laughed out loud, completely forgetting that the Xie Yin before her was still gripping her neck, a vision of extreme danger.

“You rascal…”

She hadn’t expected their next meeting to come so soon…
