It is kind of odd. I'm thinking a scene got cut where her neck was dirty.
It's directly from the novel. Wen Xiao Liu's neck wasn't dirty before.
WXL gives XL three choices when XL arrives, but XL ignores them. "Did you bathe?" Seems like XL is both giving WXL a heads up that XL has chosen a fourth option (sucking his blood) and asking if this time WXL is going to behave himself (after the shenanigans he pulled at their last meeting).
WXL's response seems like it's saying (still cheeky), "I'm prepared for that and will be on my best behaviour this time!"

Chapter 4:
He’s here!
Xiao Liu raised his head and a white condor carrying Xiang Liu dove down from the center of the moon. White hair, white robe, flying down from the sky like falling snow, he softly landed beside Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu said, “Three choices. Whip me 40 times. Kick me off from here. Or listen to me say something important. Important!”
Xiang Liu asked, “Did you bathe?”
Xiao Liu was still cheeky. “Bathed super clean! Just waiting for my lord to arrive.”
Xiang Liu’s hand grabbed Xiao Liu’s shoulder and he lowered his head. Xiao Liu docilely tipped back his neck and when Xiang Liu’s sharp fang pierced his skin and started drinking his blood, Xiao Liu didn’t close his eyes and instead looked at the moon.
