Chapter 115 - Glamour Nightlife (2/2)

''You really mean you are 2…261?” Yu Mei asked finally after finding her voice, ”Didn't you say you're not an immortal, Elder?”

Mia raised her finger as a light danced on the tip. She stroked the light at Yu Mei.

''Ouch..” The woman winced feeling like someone flicked her forehead.

”Who are you calling an elder? Her highness is still in the prime of her youth,” Mia said, arrogantly lifting her chin.

''Her highness? Were you some princess before?” Looking at the little girl nodding, Yu Mei understood why she was afflicted with princess syndrome.

No wonder she thought the world was at her feet, so she was a princess.

As self-centered or arrogant or cocky she was, Yu Mei found the girl just extremely adorable and felt a unique bond with her.

Maybe it was because of the contract they shared or it was because they were similar to each other in many aspects.

”261-year-old youth?” Yu Mei awkwardly asked. As much as they say one shouldn't go on age or looks, but she was still amused looking at the girl who looked no more than 3 years old.

''10 years of my life equal to one of yours. Don't give me that look,” Mia clicked her tongue disdainfully.

”So, that means you should be around 26…but you don't look like that,” As she spoke, she was in a state of wonderment.

”When you were being assassinated, I could have saved you but I knew the only way to break our contract is to let you die. And I did not want to be enslaved by a weak human,” Even though she did not say it aloud, Yu Mei could see the guilt on the girl's face.

She patted her head, ”It was not your obligation to save me.”

Mia swatted away her hand, letting out a yawn, she continued to speak, ”But I never expected you to suck the essence of my last tail which was supposed to be my last life. I've never heard of it before. Unless I give someone a life willingly, no one can suck my life essence. Our bond was stronger than before and my power drained over the next days causing me to be in this child's body….”

Her voice got smaller and smaller towards the end and the girl turned back to the small silver fox. Yu Mei cradled the baby fox in her arms, ''Mia, what's wrong?”

''Tired...I want to sleep,'' Mia mumbled softly and disappeared into thin air.

Yu Mei looked around to check that no one has witnessed but then she was reminded that Mia could sense if there are any humans nearby.

Since she came to her real form, she must have made sure that no one was there.

Talking to Mia had distracted her mind a bit but once she disappeared, Yu Mei found herself feeling lost once again

Sighing, she picked up her bag and slung it over her shoulder before walking out of the park.

As she walked along the highway, something on the other side of the road caught her attention

In bold neon-colored letters shone the name 'The glamour nightlife'.
