Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 24

Chapter 24

Relying entirely on her own speculation and intuition, Xia Weishuang lay flat on the bed, holding the crystal against her forehead. She maintained a steady breathing rhythm, allowing herself to enter a state of calm relaxation, commonly known as meditation.

Xia Qingxue took Mi Lele’s small hand and tiptoed quietly out, not wanting to disturb her cousin’s practice.

With that, only Xia Weishuang and Sang Lu were left in room 304.

Xia Weishuang closed her eyes, cleared her mind of distracting thoughts, and tried to feel the small crystal pressed against her forehead. It was a long and difficult process. Could people really communicate through the intangible mind?

Previously, Xia Weishuang didn’t believe it, but now, perhaps because the day-after-day mutations after the zombie outbreak had changed her deeply ingrained beliefs, she seemed to be able to truly feel the power of the mind.

Slowly, she entered a wonderful state. An invisible connection seemed to appear between her and the crystal. Xia Weishuang felt as if she had condensed into an infinitely small point, yet she filled her entire body. At this moment, she seemed to have perceived the existence of her “soul.”

But in just an instant, she was pulled out of that mysterious state. In its place was an increasingly clear and distinct feeling of the crystal. She could feel a condensed ball of energy within the crystal, within reach.

She couldn’t suppress the desire to “want” it and tried to extend her mind. Then, she actually managed to absorb the energy from the crystal into her own mind!

In an instant, a clear stream washed over Xia Weishuang’s brain, comfortable and wonderful, as if she had taken a bottle of stimulants. Her whole person was invigorated, as if she had had a soul spa, rolling in the clouds.

But this process was not entirely pleasant. A sense of restless violence arrived alongside it, stirring within Xia Weishuang at that moment a desire to destroy.

Xia Weishuang knew that this did not come from herself, but from the original owner of the crystal.

She calmed her mind and slowly pulled herself back from the frivolous state to reality. When the desire for destruction dissipated, she slowly detached from this strange state and opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with Sang Lu’s smile.

Directly above, face to face, the deep purple eyes suddenly darted left and right, staring at her deeply.

Xia Weishuang held her breath, startled. “Sang Lu!”

Seeing Xia Weishuang awake, Sang Lu slowly raised her body and moved a little further away. She sat on the edge of the bed, but not just sitting on the edge of the bed. Twisting her limbs was as simple as eating and drinking for her. Therefore, stretching and bending her waist to allow her body to envelop Xia Weishuang from top to bottom was also a rather simple matter.

Sang Lu still remembered that this was not normal. She slowly retracted, straightened up, and prepared to be a normal person.

But Xia Weishuang suddenly reached out and hooked her arm around her neck, so Sang Lu stopped where she was and didn’t move.

Xia Weishuang reached out her right hand and touched her cheek, touched the small mole under Sang Lu’s left eye, and then extended her little finger and hooked a strand of Sang Lu’s long hair that was hanging by her ear.

“Sang Lu, it’s too close,” her voice became softer, like a sticky spider web, so light that it was about to be blown away by the wind.

At this moment, even without any extra words, they had found their past tacit understanding.

Although she said it was too close, the two of them were getting closer and closer. Xia Weishuang smelled the faint scent of the sea breeze, coming from Sang Lu. She looked at her crimson lips, delicate and tempting. The sweetness of her memory welled up in her heart.

I want to kiss her so much.

Xia Weishuang’s eyelashes fluttered. Her eyes narrowed slightly. She even took the initiative to raise her neck, her chin slightly lifted, waiting for Sang Lu’s kiss.

When Sang Lu’s breath completely enveloped her, she felt a drunken tremor, as if she couldn’t bear it. Xia Weishuang closed her eyes.

However, the next moment—bang, bang, bang!

Xia Weishuang’s eyes snapped open, and she was almost scared out of her wits.

“Sis, are you awake? I heard a noise inside. How are you—”

Xia Weishuang: “…”

A sense of shame instantly filled her brain. She subconsciously turned her head, avoided Sang Lu, and pushed her a little, stammering, “O-okay, next time.”

Xia Weishuang tried to slip out from under Sang Lu, but just as she slid off the bed, her wrist was grabbed.

Sang Lu sat on the edge of the bed, neither shy nor angry, just quietly looking at Xia Weishuang, until Xia Weishuang felt a little guilty. “Sang Lu, business is important.”

But to Sang Lu, Xia Weishuang was her business.

With a firmness that brooked no refusal, she pulled Xia Weishuang into her arms. Countless tentacles extended from under her skirt and from her back, wrapping her up tightly in Xia Weishuang’s astonished gaze.

Sang Lu cupped her cheeks and said in her unique voice, “Don’t, reject me.”

To get her, to possess her, to bind her, the monster is always loyal to its desires.

She kissed her, so deeply, so lingeringly.

It wasn’t until Xia Weishuang let out a faint sob that Sang Lu left her soft lips.

The corners of Xia Weishuang’s eyes were red, her lips were shiny, and she was panting heavily. She seemed a little angry, but not entirely angry. “Sang Lu, let me go!”

Sang Lu smiled. After her breathing gradually calmed down, she kissed her again.

Xia Weishuang gave up completely, even falling deeper into this joyful depravity. Later, she seemed to have forgotten everything, forgotten how to think, and almost drowned in this passionate kiss.

When did Sang Lu let her go?

Xia Weishuang didn’t remember. When she came to her senses, she was nestled softly in Sang Lu’s arms, her limbs weak and powerless. Even her moans had become coquettish and strange.

Outside the door, Xia Qingxue’s knocking grew louder and louder, and her cries were heart-wrenching. “Sis, sis, sis, what’s wrong with you? Wake up!”

Xia Weishuang: “…”

She glared at Sang Lu with a mixture of helplessness and annoyance, pushed her away, and walked towards the door with unsteady steps. Because her feet were too soft, she stumbled and almost fell.

Sang Lu was lying on her side on the bed, propping up her cheek. A tentacle shot out quickly, helped Xia Weishuang up, and then retracted.

Xia Weishuang walked to the door and opened it. Xia Qingxue let out a howl and was about to pounce on her, but she stopped in her tracks just as she was about to embrace Xia Weishuang.

Because her beloved sister was leaning weakly against the wall, her cheeks flushed, her lips red and swollen, and her eyes filled with a watery, affectionate light.

Even a peony like Xia Qingxue suddenly realized that she seemed to have interrupted something.

Xia Weishuang said helplessly, “Why are you shouting so loudly!”

She looked behind Xia Qingxue and saw a line of people who had come out to watch the excitement. She suddenly felt dizzy and quickly pulled Xia Qingxue and Mi Lele into the room.

“Sorry, my sister’s brain isn’t quite right!”

BANG!

Xia Weishuang slammed the door shut.

“Sis,” Xia Qingxue said weakly, “I was just worried about you. It was with good intentions, you know?”

Mi Lele sighed deeply and shook her head.

Xia Weishuang reached out and pinched her ear, shaking it. “Don’t be so noisy next time!”

Xia Qingxue naturally agreed to everything.

Then, when Xia Weishuang turned around, she glared at Sang Lu. It’s all your fault!

Sang Lu raised her eyes and glanced at her. Xia Qingxue immediately averted her gaze and looked around.

“Let’s get down to business.” As if she had been a little scared, Xia Weishuang sat on Xia Qingxue’s bed, deliberately keeping a distance from Sang Lu.

“The crystals can be absorbed,” Xia Weishuang said. “Little Xue, take some out.”

“Okay.” Xia Qingxue released five crystals from her space.

Xia Weishuang said, “Usually, after using my ability, I feel mentally exhausted and a little weak. After absorbing the crystals, I feel full of energy and very comfortable, and I even feel that my energy is more abundant than before. This thing might be able to enhance our abilities. Little Xue, you should try it too.”

She told Xia Qingxue her experience, including the negative aspects, and let Xia Qingxue try to absorb one as well.

Mi Lele sat on a small chair and asked, “Sister, should I try it too?”

Xia Weishuang hesitated for a moment, then crouched down in front of Mi Lele and patted her head. “Lele, this thing can not only bring positive improvements, but also negative effects. This emotion is difficult for even adults to resolve. I don’t want you to suffer this kind of torment now.”

She was still too young. Experiencing this kind of feeling too early could easily affect her entire personality.

The world was too bitter now. Even adults couldn’t bear it, let alone a child.

Xia Weishuang hoped that she could be happier, more relaxed, and not bear too much pressure because of her ability.

“But sister, if my ability becomes stronger, it will also be very useful,” Mi Lele said seriously.

“But you’re already very powerful now,” Xia Weishuang said with a smile. “Besides, I hope we never have to use your ability. If adults can’t even protect children, then this world can just end.”

Mi Lele seemed to understand, but not completely. She reached out her small hand and grabbed Xia Weishuang’s. “Sister, can I always follow you?”

“You can, as long as you’re willing.”

Xia Weishuang stuffed a small backpack into Lele’s hands. “This is your reward for eating your lunch obediently.”

Mi Lele opened it and saw that it was full of snacks that children liked: jelly, chocolate, wafers, milk candy, nuts, cod sausage…

Mi Lele hugged the backpack, her eyes slowly turning red. Her voice was thin. “Thank you, sister.”

Without a doubt, these snacks gave the little girl an unprecedented sense of security at this time. And from this moment on, she began to believe that she would not be abandoned again.

Xia Weishuang rubbed her head and smiled. “These are all yours. Don’t give them to Little Xue. If Little Xue asks you for them, you can give them if you want. Don’t always spoil her.”

Mi Lele nodded vigorously.

Poor Xia Qingxue was still lying on the bed, deep in thought, not knowing that her status had dropped again and again.

**

Absorbing crystals to replenish energy was one thing, but Xia Weishuang’s ability was still not immediately controllable.

But when she was absorbing the crystals, she had a vague realization. Since it was her own thing, an ability that originated from her own brain, it shouldn’t be completely out of her control.

Her current ability should only be the most basic, completely instinctive ability.

Xia Weishuang began to try to control it.

Her experimental subjects were Xia Qingxue and Mi Lele.

Xia Qingxue’s speed of absorbing crystals was a bit slow, but she succeeded, and she felt that it was smoother and more fluid when she took out and put away things.

But she hadn’t been happy for long before she had to face Sang Lu’s unfriendly gaze and hold hands with Xia Weishuang.

Xia Weishuang tried very hard to find the feeling. She would hold Xia Qingxue’s hand for a while, then hold Mi Lele’s hand for a while. With an extremely firm will, she vaguely touched a phantom door.

A flash of inspiration, she almost caught it, but unfortunately, she didn’t.

Because Sang Lu finally couldn’t bear it anymore and slapped Xia Qingxue’s hand away.

“Sang Lu!” Xia Weishuang turned her head and called out, both angry and helpless.

Sang Lu was still lying on the other bed, enchantingly, and very innocently. “It was you who started it. Why are you angry at me?”

Xia Weishuang: “…Am I angry because of that? That’s a different matter, okay!”
