Chapter 3 Take a Shower First
"You may not believe it... but I'm actually a spirit kitten."
Duan Ke lied with his head held high, his voice sounding unskilled and stiff.
He really had very little magic left, but he could still use a simple spell like shapeshifting. He transformed his tail, which had a beautiful peach heart, into a fluffy white cat's tail and waved it carefully in front of the human.
"I need to eat human energy to survive, otherwise I will faint from hunger!"
Afraid that the other party would not believe him, Duan Ke looked left and right, found his medical record, and handed it to the human standing upright opposite him with both hands.
"Look, I fainted from hunger today because I didn't eat." Duan Ke looked up at the other person eagerly.
"Being my owner is easy. Just feed me once a week! I'll pay you!"
Duan Ke waited anxiously for the human's answer.
He was not a succubus who liked to lie, but he had his own reasons. He did not want to reveal his succubus identity in front of this human.
Succubi have a very bad reputation. If you directly say that you are a bad succubus who is here to exploit humans, you will most likely be rejected directly by the other party.
If another succubus encountered this situation, they might not need to tell such a lie.
They are all born socialites, wandering among all kinds of beauties every day. They are best at using sweet words and beauty to deceive humans, making them willing to go through life and death for the succubus in bed.
But Duan Ke is different from them.
After nearly three years of transformation, Duan Ke still hasn't learned how to get along well with humans. He won't take the initiative to make friends, and when he occasionally attends crowded social occasions, he will just hide in the corner like a mushroom.
Three years ago, he had successfully entered University A with the help of his monster friends, hoping to make many friends there. However, after three years, he was still only slightly familiar with three of his roommates.
Now that he has awakened the top-level charm technique, Duan Ke has no choice but to move out, and his three roommates no longer contact him every day.
After extensive practice, Duan Ke confirmed that he was a succubus who lacked socialization. He didn't think he could make humans like him as a succubus.
But kittens are different.
Although he didn't understand the reason, when he secretly observed humans at University A, he found that they had no resistance to creatures like kittens.
It would be better to pretend to be a little cat monster to lower human vigilance.
There shouldn't be any human who would have the heart to reject a kitten, right?
And this lie shouldn't be easy to detect...
Apart from the humans in the Monster Management Bureau, who else would think of a succubus after seeing a cat's tail?
This human in civilian clothes was clearly not from the Authority.
Duan Ke pursed his lips, and like a small animal hiding in a cave, he carefully observed the human's expression.
The other person probably didn't realize how much courage it took for him to actively invite someone to be his owner. If the man said "no" once, Duan Ke would definitely not have the courage to ask for a second time.
"Please." Duan Ke's voice was so low that it sounded like a hum, and he leaned a little closer to the other person, "I'm really hungry."
Qin Huai looked at Duan Ke's sudden approach, and a subtle discomfort rose in his heart again.
But looking at Duan Ke's red eyes and wet face, he suppressed his discomfort and did not step back.
The medical record that Duan Ke had been holding was taken away. Qin Huai took a quick glance and saw the words "A, a junior student at University A, hypoglycemia" written on it.
His cold face finally showed a hint of complex emotions, it was hard to tell whether it was speechless or doubt. Then his eyes shifted to Duan Ke's face.
"Cat?" Qin Huai looked Duan Ke up and down, his tone a little hard to describe, "Seriously?"
This suspicion is too undisguised!
And a bit of disgust!
Duan Ke was easily irritated by him and almost jumped out of bed. "Really! I'm not lying to you!"
Qin Huai folded his hands, and glared at Duan Ke with his ink-black eyes. His eyes were so gloomy that Duan Ke felt inexplicably uneasy.
Duan Ke's beautiful eyes rolled around. He bit his thumb and thought carefully about what other characteristics a cat had besides its tail. Then, an idea came to him and he quietly snapped his fingers.
His little horns turned into a pair of white cat ears.
Duan Ke shook them off, looked at Qin Huai seriously, and tried to defend himself.
"Look, I have ears. I'm a kitten."
Qin Huai didn't say anything, his face still expressionless, but his eyes became more and more meaningful.
He looked back and forth at the cat ears and tail that Duan Ke had temporarily made, with a half-smile on his face, and said lightly: "Oh."
Duan Ke: “……?”
Do you believe it or not?
This human's eyes... so strange. It feels like I've been stripped of all my clothes, with nothing to hide.
But he said "Oh"... According to human language, "Oh" should be used in affirmative sentences, right? So he believed it...?
should? ?
Duan Ke was unsure of what this person meant. He pursed his lips, which were excessively red due to illness, and said uneasily, "Then can you..." be my owner?
"Okay." Qin Huai lowered his eyes, folded the medical record and put it in his front pocket, then interrupted him in a calm voice.
"Let's go and complete the discharge procedures."
ah?
Agreed? ?
Duan Ke uttered a dull sound at first, then his face immediately turned red. He looked completely bewildered, covering the lower half of his face with both hands. "Really?"
Could this human being believe it so easily?
To be honest, even Duan Ke himself was embarrassed by the absurd lie he had just told. Although Duan Ke was not a succubus who could read the human mind, he also knew that a human with normal IQ would not easily believe the words "I am a cat spirit".
But his owner seemed to accept this setting very smoothly and agreed to it without even asking what the reward was.
It’s so easy to cheat!
It seems his owner is not very smart.
It's good not to be smart, because this way he can steal the delicious essence without restraint, and he doesn't have to worry about humans with kidney deficiency and back pain being unable to bear it and running to the Administration to complain to the judge.
hey-hey.
Duan Ke felt incredibly lucky, having found a treasure right after waking up from a good sleep. The cat behind him couldn't help but stand up with its tail, swaying back and forth like a feather duster cleaning the house.
Qin Huai glanced at Duan Ke's moving tail expressionlessly, turned around and walked out without saying anything, as if saying another word would be a waste of time.
Duan Ke was stunned for a moment, then jumped out of bed and followed closely.
-
Duan Ke opened the door, leaned sideways and stretched out his hand, making an inviting gesture, his eyes bright: "Come in!"
Even though he was extremely hungry, Duan Ke did not think of eating immediately in the hospital.
He had never tried eating without using charm, so he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't leak out the aura of a monster.
If they were caught by the Administration, it would be no fun. Duan Ke didn't want to take that risk at all, so he simply invited them to his home.
Duan Ke let Qin Huai look for wearable slippers in the shoe cabinet. He thought he was hiding behind the shoe cabinet and stuck his head out to observe secretly.
His rental house is small, but it is decorated very warmly. The cream-colored furniture is arranged closely and neatly, and the ceiling lights have been changed from cool white to warm colors.
The pale yellow warm light cast on Qin Huai's angular face, making him look a little warmer and more approachable.
Duan Ke looked from the man's high brow bone to his nose bridge, and then moved to his Adam's apple with a distinct curve.
...It suits my taste no matter how I look at it.
It was a truly beautiful meal!
Qin Huai ignored Duan Ke's scorching gaze and expressionlessly took out a pair of barely wearable shoes. After confirming with Duan Ke that they were usable, he walked in steadily and said calmly, "Thank you."
Duan Ke: “Yeah.”
He ran to the kitchen and poured Qin Huai a cup of hot water, then pushed him onto the sofa. His round almond-shaped eyes were frighteningly bright as he stared straight into Qin Huai's face.
"Wait for me, I'll be quick!"
After saying that, Duan Ke rushed into the room like a cat hearing the sound of a feeder, and the small living room became quiet.
…
Qin Huai looked at Duan Ke's closed door, his eyes dark.
Although he is a human, he has developed the instinct to recognize the scent of monsters through years of brutal training and fighting.
During the nearly one hour they had spent together, Qin Huai had not felt any demonic energy emanating from Duan Ke.
Absolutely, not even a trace can be captured.
This monster was stronger than he had imagined.
Qin Huai reached into the hidden pocket of his trousers to make sure his special weapon for targeting monsters was in place. After confirming this, he calmly walked over to the sofa and sat down.
Qin Huai sat on the cream-colored fabric sofa and looked around at the decoration in the rental house.
The room was small, with only one bedroom and one living room. The living room only had room for a sofa, a dining table for one, and a TV. But even in such a small room, cute decorations like dolls and blind boxes were squeezed in, making it look like a boutique you'd find in an alley.
This monster... there's an indescribable contradiction between its strength and its words and actions.
The wrist that Duan Ke pinched an hour ago was still slightly numb. Qin Huai recalled the warm fingertips that came up to him without any greeting, and frowned uncomfortably.
He clicked on the communicator, and the cold light of the screen fell on Qin Huai's dark eyes, making his eyes look inhuman and cold.
【Safely approaching the target.】
General Lin on the opposite side returned very quickly.
[Oh my, you're truly worthy of being our infallible Grand Inquisitor. So efficient?]
[I thought a perverted ascetic like you, with zero interest in life, wouldn't be popular with succubi, but I didn't expect you to be so resourceful.]
Despite his frivolous words, the head of the technical department was still very serious about dealing with top-level monsters. Lin Jiangli quickly questioned him.
[How did you get so close? Succubi are one of the most intelligent and cunning monsters. Even you could easily reveal your flaws. Approaching so quickly must be amiss. He's probably deliberately guiding you. Be very careful.]
Qin Huai: “.”
He recalled the scene in the hospital just now, and the burning gaze that Duan Ke had completely failed to conceal when he looked at him. He glanced at Duan Ke's closed door with complicated eyes.
The strength is indeed very strong.
But, smart and cunning?
...This remains to be discussed.
——However, another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the original succubus was too confident in his own strength and was too lazy to hide it in front of humans.
To guess what the ancestor succubus is thinking, obviously more information is needed.
Qin Huai lowered his eyes, his expression dark and unclear, and his rough fingers with calluses gently rubbed the barrel of the gun hidden in the secret pocket of his clothes.
[Send me the relevant information about the succubus's "owner" as soon as possible.]
Lin Jiangli on the other side of the screen:?
Why are you concerned about whether or not the owner can be found?
But he quickly realized that the ancestral succubus had just awakened and was in need of a large amount of human essence, so it would inevitably send its familiars to plunder a large number of humans suitable for consumption.
Although I don’t know why Qin Huai mentioned the word “owner” instead of “food”, but in the final analysis, these two things are equivalent to succubus.
Qin Huai must have discovered the succubus's potential actions and wanted to investigate further.
Since human lives were involved, Lin Jiangli did not dare to delay. Within a few minutes, he packed up the relevant information and sent it over, and also briefly summarized the content.
"Master" is the name a succubus uses for their regular feeding partner. They will repeatedly have sex with their master, consuming their blood, saliva, and vaginal fluids to absorb their essence until they die from exhaustion.
The Administration has documented numerous cases of "owners" being tortured to death by succubi through sexual nudity, some even occurring in public. If you are invited by a succubus to become an "owner," please be extremely cautious.
[Wow, I've never seen this information before. It's really shocking! If ordinary succubi are like this, what would the ancestor-level ones be like?!]
[Your aim is pretty fierce! So scary! Brother, be careful, don't get squeezed to death!]
【Mung bean frog croaking.jpg】
Qin Huai: “……………………”
Few people could make Qin Huai feel that the situation was out of control again and again. He rarely and genuinely felt a headache.
He had gone on countless missions and killed countless monsters, but he had never encountered such a unique one.
Although he knew that Duan Ke was a succubus, he looked so obedient that Qin Huai thought he would use gentler means to obtain his essence, so he agreed.
I really didn't expect that the request he made would be so... bold.
Qin Huai extremely hated physical contact with people, and was even more disgusted by this kind of sexual metaphor.
Even if it was for a mission, he would never accept such close contact with a human, let alone a monster.
No way, no interest, no acceptance.
Qin Huai calmly stood up, preparing to leave for the time being. Even if he gave up this opportunity to approach, he could still complete his surveillance mission.
He walked towards the door at a steady pace.
"Where are you going?" Duan Ke asked in a surprised and anxious voice.
Duan Ke's bedroom door opened, and a puff of warm steam escaped from inside. The sound of wet, hurried slippers could be heard, quickly approaching Qin Huai.
...water vapor.
Qin Huai's heart skipped a beat and he looked back expressionlessly.
I don't know if it was because she was anxious or on purpose, but Duan Ke ran out wearing only pure white underwear and wrapped in a large bath towel. Her straight white legs were not covered at all, her chest that was pink from the hot water was also exposed, and the ends of her golden brown hair were slowly dripping with water.
He put away his tail and ears for camouflage. At this time, Duan Ke no longer looked like a dangerous monster, but more like a real, well-behaved human boy.
"I'm done." Duan Ke's eyes were bright. He took a step closer and looked at Qin Huai expectantly. "Do you want to wash?"
