Chapter 156: 7
After making his frankly, awfully rushed excuses, which endangered his standing in the 'I read porn and weird shit on my phone in public' community, Jia Hyson quickly left the castle to escape to the privacy of his own room in the Rong Estate.
The Rong Estate was very close to the castle for convenience given their close relationship with royalty. In fact, the majority of the Rongs who worked there also lived in the castle, almost making the estate redundant. Still, as vampires their speed was incredible and as the coven was well isolated with no humans around, it only took a few minutes to swiftly travel between the two buildings so it wasn't inconvenient at all.
Once in the safety of his own room, Jia Hyson exhaled heavily. Silas may be lazy but he was incredibly overpowered and Jia Hyson couldn't guarantee he would be caught if he continued to play around on his laptop in the library. While he had the intention of befriending the rather apathetic Silas who would serve as good support should his crossdressing be revealed, they were far from close yet.
It had only been just under seven months since Jia Hyson had become Alaric Rong.
Like usual, he had arrived fairly early, about four years before the plot starts to be exact. In less than a year he will be entering St Lailah with Prince Silas and a couple of other vampires and had more or less adjusted to the world.
However, it hadn't been easy.
Just thinking about it made Jia Hyson sigh.
It wasn't the drinking blood thing. Jia Hyson had always been the type to do what the Romans do and had very little hesitation or unwillingness to chug down a glass of freshly extracted warm blood. In fact, he had quickly developed preferences for his blood, preferring diabetics with higher glucose levels in their blood which produce a sweeter taste, and vegans who had very clean and crisp tasting blood.
Jia Hyson: "It's the first time I actively searched out for vegans with such passion hahaha."
Bebe: "" It sucks how well he has adjusted to drinking blood but at the same time at least Bebe didn't have to deal with the usual whining and complaining.
To be honest vampires here, at least the noble ones like himself did not hold the typical weaknesses of vampires. They didn't enjoy the sunlight and was a bit easier to blind that was true. But they didn't burn underneath the sun, they could cross through running water, enter places uninvited albeit it was deemed incredibly rude to, and their reflections can be seen through mirrors and cameras.
Even the blood situation was not that bad. They still needed it to survive of course, and the demand for it was higher when physically and magically exhausted or injured, but generally, if they lived salted fish lives it was fine to drink a few cups every two or three months or so. Besides, it wasn't like every vampire spent their lives being lazy, there were many gourmet vampires and vampires interested in scientific research that had produced blood supplement pills and candy that can also satisfy the cravings to some extent.
If you were really against drinking human blood, animal blood was an option, and if you wanted to go vegan, coconut water can to some extent mimic the intracellular fluids of blood. However coconut water cannot be substituted for blood plasma and while a good source of calcium, potassium and magnesium as an oral hydration source, it's still not enough for vampires and can only really serve as a way to buy time in emergency situations.
Vampires interested in this though are trying to create fake blood with coconut water as a basis. Unfortunately, the results weren't very optimistic yet.
Of course, human blood was the most beneficial to vampires, and the amount of animal blood needed to supplement the same amount of human blood was more or less considered too inconvenient so it was not very popular either. Still, it didn't stop vampires from enjoying a good bloody steak, however, it was more like a snack to them with not too much nutritional value.
Jia Hyson of course was only mildly interested in this. Maybe other hosts would prefer to go with the alternatives or feel ill thinking they're consuming the blood of their fellow man, but Jia Hyson was very happy with the current situation. It's not like he hadn't tasted that stuff before ah, curiosity and a sick euphoria of the taboo and all that, so he would be a bit of a hypocrite if he suddenly felt the whole situation was wrong.
No, what was the biggest things were probably the vampire politics, re-adjusting his mindset in regards to his new vampire biology and and.
Alaric's frankly awful taste.
Now Jia Hyson wants to say he doesn't judge a person's choice to wear women's or men's clothing. But that would be a lie. He judges everything. He's a very judgemental person. And he would especially judge a person's choice to wear bad women's or men's clothing.
He has aesthetics and he will judge you hard if you don't fit them. Which honestly is quite hard to do because his standards, like his morality, are both flexible and pretty low.
Jia Hyson didn't know if this was because the author god was just a really bigoted piece of shit or Alaric was actually blind but when Jia Hyson first opened the secret closet of clothing according to Alaric's memory he had been appalled by what he saw.
It was like the ribbon and lace monsters had attacked all the clothes in there, reproducing and spawning until it had become hard to tell if they were shirts, pants, or skirts.
Not to mention the colour, ugh, it was all pink or white. And that's fine. Pink was fine. Jia Hyson had a bit of a feminine heart and enjoyed wearing soft pastel colours as much as striking and dark colours. But god, there was just so much, it was painful to the eyes.
Not to mention, the garish rhinestone hairpins, large flower accessories, heart shapes It was so exaggerated it was like Alaric was afraid you couldn't understand that he liked women's clothing and had to steal all the designs of Princess B*rbie's fashion team.
Ostentatious, exaggerated and flamboyant. Maybe other people enjoyed this style but Jia Hyson really couldn't.
Looking at the closet of 'treasures' Jia Hyson couldn't help but question: Could it be the aesthetics of this world were different to his own?
However, the clothing Alaric usually wears is fairly normal if a bit plain. Jia Hyson couldn't understand why it was like this.
This is hypocrisy, he is the first to admit it. Even though he says he's nonchalant and doesn't care what other people do, it seems it's human nature to judge and condemn. Jia Hyson is self-aware of it but what can he do? You can't live without judgement you can only learn to accept it while also trying to be a bit more open-minded to contrasting views too.
Jia Hyson closes his eyes and tried to think of various reasons. Maybe it was a cultural thing. Jia Hyson had felt that deeply when he first saw some of the more western plastic surgery trends with their very full lips and exaggerated implants. While originally he had felt it a bit strange and off-putting he eventually got used to it.
He still didn't really like it much, and while he didn't really care if you had plastic surgery, he did judge the end result and was always more inclined to a more 'natural' look where you had trouble telling you've had the surgery at all. But would he show that dislike outwardly? Not really if he could help it, he just probably wouldn't sleep with them.
Bebe: 'Why is it always about sex with you ah?'
Jia Hyson: 'The best way to superficially judge people is whether you would or would not want to potentially have sex with them in my opinion ah. You're not fucking their personality after all.' ()
Bebe: 'Awful, you're so awful.'
Jia Hyson: 'God yes, hurt me more baby~'
Bebe: () Disgusting scum!
Alternatively, it was more likely that Alaric was overcompensating and also was too shy to learn how to style properly. From Jia Hyson's memories of Alaric, he was a very stubborn and frigid character, unwilling to get help unless he really needed it and felt his way was the right way until it goes wrong. And even then when it goes wrong he will not necessarily feel he was wrong. This sort of character was very dislikable honestly. If it wasn't for the whole cross-dressing bigotry, the man would have been absolute cannon fodder.
Seeing his mind was once again going off-topic, Jia Hyson opens his eyes only to get blinded once again by the sheer pink and glitter.
Jia Hyson: _( )_ Blargh, it's like looking at a headache. for new novels
In the end, he couldn't make himself accept all of Alaric's fashion choices and began to do some spring cleaning much to his annoyance. If his face wasn't so thin and he wasn't so disgusted at the idea of wearing a frilly frock with rainbow polka with a highlighter pink base, he really didn't want to clean and organize such a big walk-in closet.
Maybe in Alaric's opinion, these are all pink and sweet clothes, very cute and loveable. But to be honest, picking clothes required more consideration and thought, after all not everything will suit the wearer and not everything will match with anything the same colour.
There is a difference between pinks, some pinks are very distinct and hard to match with anything, and others can be very versatile and not so prominently eye-watering. The latter must be chosen critically and the former is easier to put aside to keep.
Bebe: '...' Bebe can practically hear a new switch being flipped in that pervert's brain.
Maybe it was the remnant feelings of the original, or maybe (probably) Jia Hyson's own small crossdressing fetish having evolved thanks to Sefu's past kinks and forced him to more strongly associate the act of dressing like a girl with sexual connotations but Jia Hyson felt more excited the more he looked at how feminized he was ah.
Ah~ it was so embarrassing~ but it looked so good~
Lifting up his skirt and revealing the bulge in his panties, Jia Hyson panted harshly and almost came right there.
Bebe: '.Why can't you just try make this come off as tasteful and not make Alaric Rong seem like some depraved pervert?'
Depraved pervert Jia Hyson: 'Look, let's just let me be a closeted pervert and cut the whole character out of the story the best we can okay? Let me enjoy this!'
The more he thought about it the more he convinced himself that his option of staying out of the story was the best way, not just safest, but it gave him a lot more freedom. It was really easier to just not include something controversial than try to include something controversial and not be hated for it anyway ah.
Though generally most people are okay and understanding about the intentions behind trying to include more diversity, it is unfortunately the more sensitive and politically correct justice fighters that are much more vocal and more willing to give reviews than real fans. Plus, the author god is a bigot and prejudiced against crossdressing and transgender type issues. Even if the systems do their part there is obviously a higher chance of failure there in comparison to not touching such a sensitive issue at all.
More importantly that means he can just fuck off in the background and do whatever! Other than a few manipulations behind the scenes, just the lack of his controversial identity alone would improve the ratings. Meanwhile, he can enjoy the experience of indulging wholeheartedly in crossdressing and occasionally promoting thoughtful and critical thinking to the netizens about gender norms, toxic masculinity and so on with his stories online.
Compared to the last world where he had to do so much and think so hard about maintaining the genre and keeping Tang Muxin's goals in check, this job would become much easier.
Bebe: 'What the fuck are you talking about? Your whole thing was flirting with a fucking rooster.'
Jia Hyson: 'My ways are eccentric but you can't deny the results oh~.'
Bebe: '' Bebe really couldn't ah.
With that tentative new plan made, Jia Hyson begins to focus on pleasuring his femboy self in front of the mirror.
"Tsk, tsk, I love this feeling of complete taboo while not actually crossing any moral boundaries," Jia Hyson comments as he idly strokes himself over the soft fabric of his underwear that was becoming damp with arousal.
Seeing his manhood thickening in contrast with his female appearance Jia Hyson, whose body was still young and full of vigour, was so overwhelmed he squeezed his cock hard and the pressure immediately made him spurt copious amounts of cum into his cute panties. Panting, Jia Hyson felt his legs weaken and he stumbled to his coffin and sat on top of it in order to recover some strength.
"Oh, that felt so good," he groans, then he licks his lips as he lifts his skirt again. Stretching his underwear he reveals the mess he made in it, and his legs couldn't help but push against each other, rubbing together in embarrassment and excitement at such an erotic sight. His dick which was still a little overstimulated twitched, eager to start a new round.
And who was he to deny himself? After all, he was such a cutie, he deserved to be treated well heheh.
Bebe: Oh my system god. Is this what the entire arc is going to be like?
"Ah~"

Authors Note:
Not much to say hehe but I have heard that I'm getting seen on more pirated sites?
So. To all the people not seeing this on webnovel or chrysanthumgarden I just want to say, to the bottom of my heart-
I think you're a stupid idiot and if you're the one who requested my story on that pirate site you're a stupid fuck with a brick brain.
I am an author. I am flattered if you assume I'm translating this story because well, that's a testament to my skills hehe- but if you couldnt take the a minute to google it or just... check whether I tagged this story as an original one or not, then I apologise but that's a testament to your inadequete brain power UwU.
Anyway, this author is poor and this is because she doesn't lock chapters. Yes pirates, I am 100% free ya dumbasses. I am a cheap and easy author who celebrates when they make 30$ (thanks donators hehe) and then cries blood seeing others make 1000$ a month. But I still don't lock okay? So what the actual fuck am I being pirated for. I'm also the type of writer who writes on the fly, I dont have premium chapters, webnovel has the latest chapters I swear to god theres no more unless you extract it from future me's head because I also don't fully know what will happen either okay. ALSO I SAW I WAS RATED POORLY ON SOME PIRATE SITES AND ISNT THAT A SLAP IN THE FACE (insert pained laughter).
Also I post the funny mini theatres in chapter comments so jokes on you pirate fuckersss you missed some good shit!
