Chapter 23: I’ll bite you to death, you bad woman!

Why are women happier than men?

The answer: Women don’t have to deal with the troubles men face—women.

Greedy held Bai Yao tightly, comforting her, filled with regret.

If she hadn’t fought back earlier, it’d just be a heavy injury, a bit of rest to recover.

As the Greedy Witch, she was nearly immortal.

Greedy was an adult; Pride was a toddler taking her first steps.

What was wrong with letting the kid land a hit?

“Yao, I’ll make it up to you, okay?”

Greedy gently patted Bai Yao’s slender back, her voice soft and slow, like a tender mother soothing a baby.

Unable to help herself, Greedy kissed Bai Yao’s tear-streaked cheek, forgetting she was Greedy, not Ye Rou, the big sister next door.

When Bai Yao was little, Ye Rou had comforted her like this.

It was an instinctive act.

This set Bai Yao off. She stopped her tears, pouting fiercely, her eyes wide as bells.

“Rawr!”

With a yell, Bai Yao bit Greedy’s exposed shoulder.

“Bite you to death, you awful woman!”

Bai Yao used all her strength, but witches, apex beings, had unmatched physical resilience.

Greedy shifted her magic away from her shoulder, slightly weakening its witch-level durability.

Otherwise, Bai Yao’s teeth would’ve shattered!

Bai Yao bit hard, desperate to tear off a chunk of flesh.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break Greedy’s skin.

Feeling the nibbling, Greedy hugged Bai Yao tighter.

She pressed her cheek to Bai Yao’s neck, resting her chin on her shoulder.

She savored Bai Yao’s biting.

To Greedy, it wasn’t torture—it was delightful.

The painless nibbling felt like flirtatious play, warming her heart.

She loved Bai Yao more, adored this crimson spider lily.

This flower, she’d cherish and nurture tenderly.

As time passed, Bai Yao sensed something off.

Greedy showed no discomfort—instead, she held her closer.

Bai Yao realized Greedy was enjoying their close contact.

For a moment, a chill ran through her.

Someone found being bitten pleasurable, openly reveling in it.

The Greedy Witch was a deranged woman!

Bai Yao let go, using all her strength to leave only teeth marks and some saliva.

“Let me go, you damn witch!”

Bai Yao pushed Greedy away, cursing.

This hurt Greedy deeply.

But she wasn’t angry—it was her fault.

She should’ve just taken Bai Yao to the Witch’s Tea Party instead of teasing her.

Now things had escalated, hard to resolve.

“Why’d you show up? What’s your goal?”

Bai Yao angrily interrogated the Greedy Witch.

Witches never appeared without reason—disasters or world-ending plots followed.

“Yao, I just want to take you to the Witch’s Tea Party, nothing else~”

Greedy pouted slightly, hands clasped, looking like a scolded girl.

Despite being a head taller than Bai Yao!

“Why’d you kiss me then!”

Bai Yao fumed. Her first kiss was meant for her beloved boyfriend.

Giving it to Greedy was bad enough, but a second time?

Did this witch think she was a pushover with no temper?

Sure, Bai Yao couldn’t beat Greedy…

But that didn’t stop her from being mad!

Super mad!

[○･｀Д´･ ○]

“I like you~”

Greedy lowered her head, glancing at Bai Yao nervously.

It was her first time openly admitting her feelings.

Would Bai Yao get angry?

“I don’t need your like!” Bai Yao was livid. “Even a dog’s affection is better than yours!”

Her words stabbed Greedy’s heart, wounding her.

“Yao…”

“Don’t call me that. It’s not for you.”

“Yao” was Ye Rou’s pet name for her.

Bai Yao pictured Ye Rou’s beautiful face, a terrifying thought surfacing.

She’d rather give it to Ye Rou than Greedy!

The thought came and went unnoticed, like a fleeting cloud.

It arrived silently, left silently, taking nothing with it.

Greedy fell silent, her expression tinged with sadness.

Did Yao really find her affection so repulsive?

She was beautiful, as a human or a witch.

A top-tier beauty.

Did Yao hate her that much… Was she really that bad?

Greedy doubted herself. Was she that awful?

Was her behavior fundamentally wrong?

Wasn’t liking someone about hugging, kissing, and closeness?

She didn’t realize intimacy required mutual affection, not one-sided obsession.

She’d been wrong from the start.

Forcing someone wasn’t right; a twisted melon isn’t sweet.

Bai Yao glared at Greedy, who stayed silent.

A witch, lectured by a human girl.

If other witches heard, it’d be a hot topic at the Tea Party.

Bai Yao vaguely sensed something off. Greedy was a witch!

How could her anger make her seem weak?

This was a world-altering witch!

Suspicious, Bai Yao studied Greedy, feeling a familiar air.

Like…

“My lovely spider lily~ Feeling better?”

Greedy’s voice cut through Bai Yao’s thoughts.

“Since you’re better, let’s go~”

Greedy grabbed Bai Yao’s hand, flying skyward, giving her no chance to resist.

Mid-flight, Greedy felt a pang of fear.

She’d nearly been found out.

If Bai Yao realized Greedy was Ye Rou, she’d be in for endless scolding.

Worse, they might end their friendship!

That must never happen!
