I'm on the Ark, and I started as a succubus.

But she was certain that mudstone was completely finished.

Froststar paused for a moment, then silently looked up at Mudrock. Her black tank top glared at her lower abdomen, revealing alluring purple-pink patterns that stretched out like vines.

Those are the marks of selling one's soul; the more one sinks and degenerates, the more ornate and elaborate the marks become.

The mark on the mudstone had formed a pattern of blooming flowers, like an artwork, and looked extremely bright, exuding a bewitching aura.

It has clearly fallen into complete darkness.

They might even enjoy it.

Froststar looked away and took a bite of potato, chewing it vigorously.

'I will never become like that.'

She said to herself in her heart.

She knew that the mark signified the betrayal of one's soul, because she... she also had that evil mark.

When that bastard signed the contract with her, he specifically explained this to her, saying that once the mark was completely completed, it would mean she could never go back. Before it was completely completed, there was still a tiny bit of hope that she could be redeemed.

Shuangxing could sense that Bai Chen had said that to her on purpose, and that things might indeed be true, but he had no good intentions. He just wanted to enjoy watching her struggle and then helplessly watch her fall little by little.

In the end, she degenerated into a wicked woman who was willing to pay any price for enjoyment and do anything for happiness.

'I will never become like that, never.'

Froststar's long, delicate eyelashes trembled slightly as she chewed the potato in her mouth even more vigorously.

……

After dinner and a hot bath, Froststar felt languid and weak all over, not wanting to do anything but lie in bed and get a good night's sleep.

Back in the tundra, facing the harsh environment and the ever-present threat of enemies, a good hot bath was a luxury. It was one of the few times that Alina and her friends would show a lazy side.

At that time, she couldn't feel any of that; the physical condition caused by Oripathy made it very difficult for her to feel warmth.

Now that she's recovered, Froststar dislikes the warm, cozy feeling of hot water and bubbles that makes her feel all over. She doesn't want to like that warm feeling anymore.

She felt that taking a hot bath was something she was indulging in and enjoying.

Despite knowing this perfectly well, she just couldn't resist the urge to take a nice bath. Sometimes she would even make excuses for her behavior, and then let her incredibly honest body lead her step by step into that exceptionally spacious bathroom, where she would stay in the hot water for a long time.

Only when I felt tired did I lazily climb out of the pool-sized bathtub, dragging my weary body back to my room, where I lay on the soft bed waiting for sleep to come.

She and Niyan still chose to sleep in the strange space behind the screen in the carriage that night. The guy said it was to protect them from sudden enemy attacks... Although she was unwilling to admit it, it seemed that what he said was true.

With that purplish-pink mark on their lower abdomen, symbolizing the evil mark that they once pledged their souls, there's no need to worry about them running away.

"Mmm~"

Froststar pulled the blanket over herself and wrapped herself up tightly, leaving only her long rabbit ears sticking out.

Without worrying about the enemy that might attack at any moment, or about the livelihood of the entire team tomorrow, and without being on edge, Froststar quickly fell into a deep sleep.

As for whether the cute little white rabbit would attack and eat her at night, she had never worried about that.

From the moment she made the contract with that guy and offered up her soul, she knew she would definitely be the little rabbit who got eaten.

The only question is when she will be eaten.

She even had a tiny bit of hope that that moment would come sooner so that she could be completely free and no longer have to agonize over this issue.

It felt like having a sharp blade hanging over your head, knowing full well it would fall, but it just kept hanging there, tormenting you.

If she really falls, then so be it; that's the price she has to pay.

……

Snap...drip-drip...snap...

It's raining?

The long rabbit ears twitched, and Froststar, curled up in her blankets, opened her eyes, half-asleep.

Her long experience living on the tundra made her very sensitive to unusual sounds.

This most likely means that the enemy is stealthily approaching.

With her mind clearing up a bit, Froststar suddenly sat up in bed, wrapped in the blanket, her long rabbit ears perking up as she listened to the sounds around her.

"Talulah, did you hear anything?"

Froststar lowered her voice and said something. After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, took a breath, closed her eyes, and collected her thoughts.

She was no longer on the tundra, and had no companions with her... nor any infected people who needed their protection.

The long rabbit ears twitched slightly, and Shuangxing's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. There shouldn't have been any sound of water in that strange space of the carriage.

Moreover, the sound seemed even thicker, with a faint, tingling, colliding sound mixed in.

The sound... was like someone patting a soft, fluffy, round, and bouncy dough.

Froststar got up and walked to the door, placing her hand on the doorknob and hesitating for a moment.

The white-haired, red-eyed Sarkaz had told her that no matter what noise she heard at night, it was best to stay quietly in her room and sleep soundly until dawn.

She took another deep breath, pulled open the door, and almost instantly, a voice that had been somewhat unclear became clear in her ears.

The plaintive sobbing sound was like that of a wounded little animal in the forest, strangely mixed with a sweet and charming tone.

Froststar remained silent for a while before heading out to follow the sound.

Before long, a dazzling, luxurious purple-pink light appeared before her eyes, and the mark that symbolized the selling of one's soul was now shining brightly in the dim light.

Froststar paused for a moment, her gaze lingering on Mudrock's face. She noticed that the beautiful red eyes of the young and lovely Sarkaz girl were slightly rolled upwards, and her lips were slightly parted... her small face was almost entirely filled with a foolish smile mixed with pain.

It's like it's broken.

008 Frostnova is about to be finished~

Froststar seemed unable to accept the scene before her, standing there blankly, unaware that her cheeks were occasionally flushed with a delicate cherry blossom color.

Just then, the sound of the dense, pattering rain outside seemed to become more and more urgent, as if millions of raindrops were rushing forward at once.

"Ooh... Yelena... Ha—"

Mudstone's lips parted slightly, her beautiful lips trembling slightly.

She seemed to want to say something to Froststar, but the voice that came out of her lips was almost a whisper, easily drowned out by her own soft, melodious breath.

So much so that Frostnova couldn't hear what she was trying to say to herself at all.

In a sudden moment, Niyan raised her head high, her slender neck almost taut, looking extremely pitiful, yet exuding an indescribable beauty.

It's just like a swan that has been hit by an arrow, tensing its body and raising its slender neck high.

Her hands, which had been bound in mid-air by a thin rope, suddenly reached back and grabbed the rope hanging from the roof beam. Her originally slender and graceful curves were almost stretched into full tension in mid-air.

The rapid breathing and the rushing rain stopped almost simultaneously. The mudstone, its raised head drooping, its taut, bowstring-like body softening.

Frostnova looked at everything before her, closed her eyes, and let out a soft breath. She understood. The beautiful, foolish Sarkaz girl had been protecting her all along, preventing her from being eaten, and now she was finally being severely punished as a traitorous maid.

Even if she doesn't understand yet, it doesn't matter. As a scumbag and despicable succubus, Bai Chen will tell her the truth.

Their dear Sarkaz girl was severely punished because she tried to protect the little rabbit!

The Sarkaz girl needs to bear her own punishment, as well as the punishment of her rebellious and disobedient little bunny going through puberty!

The kind and gentle Frostnova naturally couldn't stand by and watch such a thing happen.

So... she chose to be an obedient little maid and bear the burden she was supposed to bear.

After pinching and kneading the long, soft rabbit ears, Bai Chen lowered his gaze with a mischievous smile, looking down at Shuangxing, who was sitting on the ground like a duck.

Froststar bit her cherry lips, her light gray-blue eyes filled with resentment and indignation.

It must be said that sitting like a duck is a great posture that makes a disobedient and naughty little rabbit look exceptionally cute. The upward gaze naturally conveys humility, and the emotions, amplified by looking up, become particularly charming, transforming anger, resistance, and resentment into a helpless tenderness.

They look so cute that you just want to tease and bully them, to make those emotions even more intense.

Bai Chen's devilish hand slipped into Shuang Xing's long hair at the back of her head, gently holding her head in his arms, and said with a wicked grin:

"Little maid, let's start with the simplest cleaning tasks."

Shuangxing's shoulders trembled slightly, her small face contorted with anger as if flames were about to erupt, but she ultimately refrained from lashing out. She tried to take a deep breath to calm herself, but the overwhelming aura made her feel increasingly unable to think.

I just want to end all of this as soon as possible.

Froststar peeked out tremblingly, offering her beautiful, soft lips.

Even the beautiful and youthful Sarkaz girl couldn't prevent the little rabbit from being eaten!

Even as she recovered from the lingering effects of her beautiful dream and opened her eyes, she happened to see that the gentle and kind little Carter's face was covered in grime.

"The little rabbit was doomed in the end."

Mudstone murmured softly, then realized something and shook her head repeatedly, her voice trembling with tears, "I, I'm not awake yet, I'm asleep! No...no, Mudstone is really asleep! Waaah...that's so cruel..."

……

……

After finishing his conversation with the Ursus picket line members in the town, Bai Chen turned and returned to the courtyard. Seeing that Froststar still had a cold expression on her face, he deliberately raised an eyebrow at her.

"They've found the messenger, who should arrive tonight."

He walked to the deck chair under the eaves, lay down, and took the hot tea that Mudrock offered him. "If you want to write letters to Talulah and Alina, you'd better get ready now."

Froststar still had a small face on her face.

After a long while, she said through gritted teeth, "I will kill you, I definitely will!"

"Oh."

Bai Chen nodded dismissively, "In that case, I need to hurry up and do some serious things with my little maid instead of just playing around. Before I die, I need to make sure I have a litter of cute little bunnies."

Froststar paused for a moment, a look of fear appearing on her small face, but she seemed unwilling to give in completely. She let out a heavy snort and strode into the house.

When she reached Niyan, she paused slightly and gave him a heavy, cold snort.

"Huh?"

Ni Yan tilted her jade-like neck and looked at her with an innocent expression.

"Humph!"

Froststar strode into the house, giving Mudrock no friendly look whatsoever.
