Chapter 226: The Demon Sister: Sister, How Could You Do This To Me?

Reality is cruel.

Sun Xiao, pursuing a firsthand story, followed them. Once at the restaurant, he excused himself to the restroom, claiming a stomachache. His real purpose was to find the owner and implore them to bill the young woman. He emphasized that the rest of them were just there for the free meal.

The restaurant owner, a middle-aged woman, looked at Sun Xiao with a strange expression.

A freeloader?

What a loser.

Sun Xiao felt the judgment in her gaze and lowered his head in shame. He wanted to explain how he'd been scammed out of a fortune recently, but decided against it. They probably wouldn't believe him anyway, and the misunderstanding wasn't a big deal.

At least they knew he was broke and wouldn't ask him to pay.

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy of a rope, as the saying goes.

Inside the private room:

The Demon Sister's plan was simple: retrieve her blood. Getting Lin Fan drunk was impossible; his tolerance was too high.

"Thank you for always treating us to meals. Lao Zhang and I are quite embarrassed." Lin Fan was genuinely embarrassed. He couldn't understand why she kept inviting them.

Maybe she was just a kind person.

At least, that's what he and Lao Zhang thought.

The Demon Sister smiled brightly. "It's nothing. You saved my life before, so we're good friends. It's only right that I treat you to dinner. Will you be drinking today?"

Her sister had told her to take the initiative in these situations.

Don't hesitate.

Don't overthink.

Building rapport is key to infiltrating the enemy ranks.

She felt her sister's advice was sound. Although her sister hadn't offered practical help, her suggestions were quite helpful.

"We can have a little." Lin Fan missed the taste of baijiu; it was a better drink than cola.

Sun Xiao shuddered at the mention of baijiu. That liquor had nearly bankrupted him. A normal meal wouldn't cost much at all.

He swore to the heavens that he wouldn't touch baijiu this time.

Not even a drop. Whoever touches it is a dog.

"Do you want some?" the Demon Sister asked him.

Sun Xiao shook his head. "I can't drink."

"Just a little. It's fine," the Demon Sister said with a smile. Her smile held an irresistible charm for the single Sun Xiao. A goddess's words were always hard to resist.

"Alright then, just a little." Sun Xiao couldn't resist. He thought, Just a little, stay sober, and definitely don't get drunk like last time.

But reality is cruel.

Moments later, Sun Xiao slumped over the table, just like last time.

Lao Zhang didn't drink; he just enjoyed the food.

The demonic rooster suffered in silence. The aura emanating from the Demon Sister was terrifying, a natural suppression of demonic beings. It felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave.

Preferably far, far away.

Seeing the situation was favorable, the Demon Sister felt it was time to try. She took out the crystal she had condensed earlier and walked over to Lin Fan. "I have a special candy for you. It's delicious. Try it."

Lin Fan took the crystal, examining it curiously. It was translucent and snow-white. "I'll share this with Lao Zhang."

"Great, great!" Lao Zhang said happily.

The Demon Sister said, "I prepared this especially for you. I'll give you more tomorrow."

This was specifically for Lin Fan.

She couldn't let him share it.

It might affect the overall effect.

Lao Zhang said, "Since it's especially for you, you should eat it. I'm fine."

"Okay."

Lin Fan habitually shared anything good with Lao Zhang. But since this was a special candy from a kind young lady, he'd eat it himself.

The Demon Sister watched as Lin Fan swallowed the knockout drug crystal.

She stared at him with wide, innocent eyes, observing his reaction.

A traditional crystal.

It should work, right?

"Hmm, the taste is alright," Lin Fan said.

The Demon Sister asked expectantly, "How do you feel?"

Lin Fan said, "Nothing. Everything's normal. I don't feel anything wrong."

Impossible.

She had bought all the knockout drugs and condensed them into a crystal. Logically, the effect should be the strongest. But judging by the current situation, it wasn't working at all.

So frustrating.

That old man who sold the drugs was a liar.

A while later, Lin Fan stood up. "It's getting late. I have to take Lao Zhang and the hen to work. Thank you for the meal."

"Lao Zhang, let's go."

The demonic rooster had been waiting impatiently.

This was the last place it wanted to be.

The Demon Sister watched them leave, her face full of frustration. Then she left the room, paid the bill, and departed.

Much later, Sun Xiao woke up with a splitting headache, as if his head was about to explode. Suddenly, his hair stood on end. He looked around. He was still in the private room, but Lin Fan and the goddess were gone.

He looked at the empty baijiu bottles on the table.

He gulped nervously.

"No way, not again..."

He wanted to slap himself. He was such an idiot! He'd already been through this once. How could he fall for it again? He had told the owner he wouldn't be paying.

But who knew what the situation was now.

He looked at the window.

Fortunately, it was only the second floor. He expertly opened the window. He had no choice. In this situation, he had to escape.

He swore a solemn oath that if he ever drank again, he would jump from the second floor and kill himself.

Nothing could stop him.

A waitress came to check the room.

"Huh? Strange. Where did the guest who was sleeping here go? How did he disappear?"

The waitress was curious.

But she didn't dwell on it. She cleaned the room. The bill had already been paid. She was just shocked that a few people could drink so much.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes,

She wouldn't have believed it.

The Demon Sister returned home, pushed open the door, and threw herself into her sister's arms, sobbing. "Sister, I failed again. I really don't know what to do. Sister, please help me. I can't think of any other way."

Having lost something precious, the Demon Sister was heartbroken. She had tried many methods, but none had succeeded. Getting him drunk didn't work, and neither did the knockout drugs.

She had gone to confront the old man who sold her the drugs, but he was nowhere to be found. She could only return home dejectedly.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

The Demon Sister patted her younger sister's back, comforting her softly. She had anticipated this. Someone who could withstand her blood wouldn't be easily subdued by alcohol or knockout drugs.

"Sister, I have another idea, and this one will definitely work."

The Demon Sister was about to offer another terrible suggestion.

The naive younger sister's eyes lit up. She shook her sister's arm, eagerly asking, "Sister, what is it?"

The Demon Sister smiled and pointed at the TV in the living room. "Look, that's the solution."

On the screen,

A man and a woman were kissing passionately.

The Demon Sister blushed. "Sister, what kind of solution is this? How could you suggest something like that?"

"Sister, I'm telling you the truth. This is the last resort. Kiss him and extract your blood directly. It's the safest way. Otherwise, what other options do we have?" the Demon Sister said.

"Sister, you're pushing me into a fire pit."

"Sister, I don't have any other ideas."

The Demon Sister couldn't accept this.

She regretted everything.

She wanted to crack open her own head and see what was inside. She shouldn't have used the snake bite method. Now she was trapped, and it was incredibly painful.

"Sister, why don't you help me? Help me restrain him, and I'll just take back my blood." The Demon Sister desperately wished her sister would help.

But unfortunately,

The Demon Sister refused. "Sister, you're already a qualified demon. You can't always rely on me. This is a trial in your journey as a demon. If you succeed, it proves you're truly qualified."

Her words were flawless.

And logical.

The Demon Sister didn't know what to say.

She sighed.

There was no other way.

It seemed she had to rely on herself.

"I understand, sister."

The Demon Sister obediently went to her room to sleep.

The Demon Sister poured herself a cup of tea and leisurely watched the romance drama. As a demon, she enjoyed her current life, oblivious to the fact that she had put her sister in this predicament. The root of the problem was her desire to win.

April 30th!

A beautiful day that easily lifts one's spirits.

Liu Ying dressed neatly, gratefully glanced at the sleeping Lao Zhang, habitually touched the hair on his head, satisfied with what happened last night, opened the door, and quietly left.

He didn't come every day.

His girlfriend was quite demanding.

He couldn't sleep with Lao Zhang every night. He usually spent Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with his girlfriend, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays with Lao Zhang, and Sundays depended on his mood.

The demonic rooster squatted inside the house, half-asleep.

It was under a lot of pressure.

It seemed to have successfully infiltrated Lin Fan's side, but as Lin Fan's social circle became more complex, the demonic rooster felt its burden grow heavier.
