Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 407 Liu Xian
The fox mother once again picked up a fragment of memory.

In the lively classroom.

Xu Shen rubbed his hands on his clothes for a long time before carefully placing them on the Awakening Stone.

"Yes, light-based."

"Teacher, I'm going to the rooftop, don't stop me."

Xu Shen made an exaggerated appearance.

Xue Musheng has seen more students than he's eaten salt. This guy, who has awakened the Light element, still has the mood to act silly. You don't even need to look at him to know that his core is extremely stable. Well, he's even a bit of a goofball. He doesn't need Xue Musheng to comfort him at all.

He said expressionlessly, "Next, Wang Cheng."

"Yes, water-based."

"Light Department student, wait for me, I'll go to the rooftop with you."

Wang Cheng was also a goofball, laughing and joking as he followed Xu Shen down the stairs.

The fox mother squinted, retrieved the earliest memory of awakening, and compared the similarities and differences between the two, seemingly lost in thought.

After a while, the illusion shattered, and another fragment of memory was retrieved.

In the pouring rain.

Xu Shen dragged his crippled leg and struggled forward.

A hint of heartache flashed in Yu Mian's eyes.

With her exceptional mastery of mental techniques, she naturally knew that these memories, which could be easily constructed into illusions, must be deeply etched in her heart.

The fox mother's pink eyeliner was slightly upturned.

This memory was so clear, even without her using the power of time.

For a moment, she became curious.

Following the anchor of time, she entered a cramped little house.

In the living room, a girl held a kitchen knife to her neck, her body trembling slightly with fear.

In front of her was an ordinary-looking man.

The man said with deep affection, "Xiao Xian'er, now that the man surnamed Xu is gone, you can finally rest easy."

Liu Xian shook her head: "You are a Darkblood vampire, killing someone is too easy for you. In such a short time, he can't have gone far."

The man was somewhat annoyed: "You should know that we vampires have always only liked young and clean virgins. I don't mind you... how can you doubt my sincerity?"

Liu Xian still held the knife, the blade stubbornly digging into her fair neck, drawing crimson blood: "I will not compromise until I am sure Xu Shen is safe."

"You!" The man's face was full of anger: "I even told you my biggest secret, my vampire identity, but you won't even let me touch you. Is this your sincerity?"

Liu Xian remained silent, but the blood dripping from her neck dripped even faster.

The man stared at her for a long time, then suddenly became impatient and swung a red light, knocking the kitchen knife that Liu Xian had placed against her neck.

The knife fell to the ground, and the screeching sound spun around a few times before finally stopping.

The man said coldly, "You should know that these petty tricks are no threat to me. Liu Xian, remember this: I've tolerated you repeatedly because I love you, but my patience has its limits. You'd better watch yourself!"

With a bang, the man slammed the door and left.

Liu Xian collapsed onto the sofa, covering her face and weeping bitterly.

Yu Mian watched this scene quietly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

The fox mother remained silent, following the man into the Northern Club.

"Isn't this Brother Nie? What's up? Still haven't dealt with those twins?"

The bartender handed me a drink with a smile.

Nie Dong glared at him but didn't say anything.

"If you ask me, why bother with all this effort? One Moon Charm and any woman would be completely submissive."

Nie Dong glanced at him contemptuously before saying with a hint of smugness, "You don't know anything. Rape is something only lowly people who don't know how to enjoy themselves and only know how to release their lust do. But the fruit called 'voluntary' that grows under duress, combined with status and position, and mixed with resentment, anger, helplessness, grievance, and shame, is truly sweet. Once I've trained you properly, what positions we use will be entirely up to me."

"Great, Brother Nie!" the bartender exclaimed, his eyes lighting up. "Don't forget me when the time comes!"

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Nie Dong smiled, raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Outside the illusion, Yu Mian's fists clenched quietly.

Perhaps even the fox mother loathed such scum.

She wanted to shatter this illusion.

But inexplicably, a tiny but stubborn force stopped her.

She was slightly taken aback and looked at Xu Shen, who was sleeping soundly on the soft couch woven from nine fox tails.

At this moment, Xu Shen's face was contorted with pain, a far cry from his previous serene expression.

The fox mother hesitated for a moment, then accelerated the time in the illusion.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Nie Dong had almost reached the limit of his patience.

But the woman's stubbornness exceeded his expectations; she wouldn't let him touch her, not even hold her hand.

He was thinking of just using Moon Charm, but the Northern Club had already made a lot of boasting, and doing so would be embarrassing.

In the illusion, Liu Xian sat at her dressing table, looking at the photo of the two sisters and Xu Shen over and over again before carefully tucking it into her bosom.

Then, she went into the bathroom, turned on the sink faucet, and slashed her wrists, letting the blood mix with the water and rush down the drain.

Her face grew paler and paler until she could barely stand. She left the room and took a taxi to the busiest subway station.

"Let's do it tonight, I'm tired."

Upon arriving at the subway station, Liu Xian sent Nie Dong her location.

She waited for a long time; excessive blood loss made her head spin, and she could faint at any moment.

But Nie Dong was slow to arrive.

On the other side, Nie Dong looked at the slender figure sitting quietly on the stainless steel chair in the station hall, his face gradually darkening.

Vampires are far more sensitive to blood than ordinary people, and he could sense that this woman seemed to be draining her blood dry.

This is M City, a place teeming with hidden talents. Who knows if a powerful magician is mixed in with this surging crowd!
If he goes out and can't resist taking a drag, this woman might die in his arms in front of everyone...

Isn't this a blatant attempt to stage an accident?

"Gan!"

Time passes little by little.

Even the last bus has left.

Liu Xian gave a bitter smile.

For an ordinary person like her to scheme against this mysterious and unpredictable vampire, the only way was to hope that he would be driven mad by lust.

pity……

She got up and went down the stairs to the platform level, gazing at the dark and dim subway tracks.

Suddenly, Nie Dong appeared, his face full of mockery: "You think you can fool me with such tricks?"

Liu Xian felt somewhat desperate.

It doesn't matter that she died, but my sister...

Nie Dong looked down at her, his tone condescending: "Woman, kneel down and beg me, and I'll consider saving your life."

"Disgusting scum!"

Liu Xian's disdainful look infuriated Nie Dong.

"You shameless slut!"

Nie Dong raised his hand as if to slap her, but seeing her pale, porcelain-doll-like face, he reluctantly gave up.

Given how weak this woman is now, he's afraid a gust of wind could blow her to death.

"Just you wait, I'll make you wish you were dead."

Nie Dong smiled sinisterly, cut his finger, and used his blood to draw an array on the ground.

Liu Xian felt a chill in her heart.

The mysterious vampires may indeed possess such abilities.

She took a few steps back, then her eyes suddenly lit up.

If he's disfigured, then this damned vampire probably won't bother him anymore.

She lay there, face down, trying to fall to her death onto the train tracks.

Nie Dong quickly grabbed her and used Moon Charm to control her struggling body.

The half-finished blood-drawn formation also collapsed instantly.

Nie Dong's face was extremely ugly.

Liu Xian bit her tongue, a hint of glee flashing in her eyes at this unexpected joy: "I'd rather die than let you succeed."

Her voice was weak, but every word was clear.

Nie Dong's expression was gloomy: "Death? You think death will bring you relief? Don't forget, I'm a forensic doctor. I will definitely turn you and Liu Ru into the most perfect specimen dolls!"

"you!"

Liu Xian felt a surge of anger, but she could no longer resist the urge to faint and immediately passed out.

Nie Dong, with a gloomy face, released Yue Mei and let her fall limply to the ground.

"Damn it, another one's gone to waste."

He was cursing and about to pick up Liu Xian and leave when suddenly an old man appeared in the subway.

Nie Dong's expression suddenly changed; he could sense considerable magical fluctuations emanating from the old man.

He fled decisively, and the old man couldn't catch him.

The old man, who had left, returned and carried the unconscious Liu Xian to the hospital.

Suddenly, Liu Xian woke up: "Sister, save my sister!"

Her voice was weak, and her tired eyes were filled with fear. She fainted again as soon as she finished speaking.

In the illusion, Liu Xian, who had been sent to the hospital, briefly woke up once more.

His final will only contained the word "cremation".

The fox mother looked at Xu Shen, who was curled up in her tail with tears streaming down his face, and sighed.

The illusion crumbles bit by bit.

　This plot point was actually unnecessary to include, as it doesn't affect the main storyline. However, aside from the protagonist becoming a traitor, I don't want to get involved in anything cuckolded, so I deliberately wrote it very explicitly, for fear of being labeled a cuckold story like the one with Ding Yumin's vampire plot (I'm furious).

　　As for why Ding Yumin's section specifically included vampires, it's because that was a discarded element in the original work. I just used it to fill in some logical gaps in the original story. I don't think there's anything wrong with writing it; the only problem is that...
　　Due to limited writing skills, the contradictions that lead to the truth of the plot were written too subtly; otherwise, it would not have caused the misunderstanding of a cuckold story.
