6. Ning Chuchu

No matter how fiercely Ning Zhiqing and her daughter protested, Ning Xuan resolutely followed the staff’s guidance to find the appeal website and submitted an application to revoke Ning Zhiqing’s guardianship.

Immediately after submission, a reply came through stating that the relevant department would review the case within 24 hours. Ning Xuan was nearly eighteen, and such applications were guaranteed to be approved—this was the very reason for Ning Zhiqing’s anxiety.

After submitting the application, Ning Xuan had the property bureau officials assist in modifying the house’s access rights, effectively evicting Ning Zhiqing and her daughter.

Under Ning Xuan’s insistence, the residential property bureau amended the house’s usage permissions on the spot. Ning Zhiqing and her daughter were blacklisted by the home security system, which would attack them whenever they approached.

Though the security level of this residence was only Grade D, it was more than sufficient to keep two ordinary people—without any supernatural powers—at bay.

While driving them out, Ning Xuan also cleared out their personal belongings.

“Ning Xuan, just wait! My sister will be back soon. When she returns, she won’t let you off!” Ning Fei shouted loudly as she was kicked out.

The name Ning Chuchu suddenly popped into Ning Xuan’s mind. In the original owner’s neural diary, this girl was feared like a venomous snake. If Ning Fei bullied her openly, Ning Chuchu tormented her in secret.

Ning Chuchu was the same age as Ning Xuan, six months younger. When Ning Xuan was six, both their parents died. Ning Zhiqing moved in with Ning Fei and Ning Chuchu. At eight, Ning Chuchu awakened her psychic power, reaching a value of 18, classified as Grade E. When her genetic information was analyzed, two contractors with a 90% gene match were detected.

Those two contractors belonged to wealthy families residing on an A-grade star system. Their parents requested to bring Ning Chuchu and all her relatives to live there, but Ning Chuchu flatly refused.

Everyone thought Ning Chuchu was remarkably principled for a child, unwilling to cling to the powerful. Only Ning Xuan knew the truth: Ning Chuchu couldn’t bear to part with her as a blood source. Ever since moving in, Ning Chuchu would sneak into her room each night, bite her, and suck her blood. On the eve of Ning Chuchu’s psychic awakening, Ning Xuan almost believed she intended to drain her dry.

Ning Xuan had tried to resist. She told Ning Zhiqing, who only mocked her, saying her sister was just teasing and that she shouldn’t be so petty.

She reported it to her teachers at school. The teachers took her to the hospital, but no wounds were found. Aside from malnutrition, no obvious issues appeared. The teachers could only apply for her to receive financial aid for impoverished students; nothing else could be done.

After Ning Chuchu’s psychic powers awakened, Ning Xuan’s situation worsened as no one paid attention to her. To avoid Ning Chuchu, she applied to stay in school dormitories. Yet, within ten days, Ning Zhiqing fetched her home, as Ning Chuchu threatened that if Ning Xuan insisted on dormitory living, she would request to be placed in the same room.

A year ago, Ning Chuchu’s psychic power naturally grew to 398, reaching Grade C. One of her two contractors had psychic power at Grade A. At the cusp of a transformative breakthrough, her abilities began to take form. That contractor’s parents personally came to escort Ning Chuchu to the A211 star system, promising to provide top-tier psychic enhancement drugs to help her swiftly surpass Grade C and become a rare, high-level female spirit controller.

The original owner’s neural diary was filled with terror toward Ning Chuchu. From the subtext, Ning Xuan deduced that the original owner had always believed Ning Chuchu would eventually drain her completely.

If the original owner’s fears were true, then was Ning Chuchu a vampire?
