Chapter 46

## Chapter Guide

**Bite You, Bite You!** (咬你, 咬你! *Yǎo Nǐ, Yǎo Nǐ!*) is the forty-sixth chapter of Tong Yao's *Guardians of Night*.

## Summary

The chapter opens with a narration of the definition of puberty, narrating that it happens between the ages of 10 to 19 during which one experiences a second peak in psychological and physiological maturation. The exposition continues that as the body develops, the heart opens up to love, and that feelings only need a moment to blossom, bringing up examples such as someone of the opposite sex looking back and smiling at you, or somebody being considerate to you.

Returning to the story, as Xi Sha begins to heavily blush, the narration continues with an example of how someone of the opposite sex who is completely compatible with one's gluttonous attribute can also invoke feelings of love. As Xi Sha continues to blush, her horns fall onto the ground.

In the Underworld, Yan Wen begins to worry over Xi Sha's reliability and orders the Defender of the Left to use Eye of Dimensions to surveil her. The spell activates, and looking through the portal they see one of Xi Sha's horns on the ground. Shocked, the Defender of the Right and Yan Wen wonder if she was battling the guardians. Upon closer inspection of Xi Sha's head however, they realize that the horns' cross-sections are smooth and not bleeding, and that long hair has grown from the where the horns once were. The Defender of the Right concludes that the horns fell off naturally, citing that female demon lords shed their horns when they start maturing. As Yan Wen wonders what Xi Sha plans to do next, the demon lord expresses her infatuation with Ye Yan and her wish to make him her husband, much to the surveilling demons chagrin who wonder if demon lords can do anything else but become amorous upon entering the human world. Yan Wen in particular ponders why Xi Sha chose to fall in love with someone who has such a bizarre appearance.

After she finishes braiding her long hair, Xi Sha voices her desire to taste the person she likes and gently bites Ye Yan on the head, scaring him awake. When Ye Yan questions her intentions and mentions that she left a bite mark, the three observing demons rant out loud about her leaving bite marks to act pure and innocent despite being capable of crunching through stone. Xi Sha says that all it takes is a nibble of something she likes for her to feel satisfied, while Ye Yan asks who she is. Incredibly flustered that Ye Yan is talking to her and trying to contain her urges of asking him to be her husband, Xi Sha replies with her name and expresses her admiration for Ye Yan while stuttering. Believing her to be a fan of his, Ye Yan gives her an autograph. Treating the paper with Ye Yan's name in terrible handwriting on it as a gift, Xi Sha expresses her happiness at receiving a gift from "Big Brother Yan" (言哥哥, *Yán Gē Gē*) during their first meeting, greatly disgusting the Defender of the Right who finds her words incredibly cheesy. The chapter then ends as Xi Sha plans to request something from Ye Yan.

## Trivia

Xi Sha addresses Ye Yan as 言哥哥, which literally translates to "older brother Yan". While 哥哥 does translate to "elder brother", it is also an affectionate and intimate form of address towards a man a girl romantically loves. It is similar to the Japanese honorific "nii-chan".
