Chapter 42: Infrastructure: The Temptation of the Succubus [VIP]
"I refuse."
"Why?"
Romila opened her moist eyes wide in disbelief.
"Whether you win or lose this game, you'll gain something, right?"
"If you win, I'll tell you the top secrets I've acquired over the past thousand years through various means. If you lose, I'll spend the entire night giving you the most extreme happiness in the world."
The succubus stretched out her tongue and licked the sticky fingers in an extremely obscene manner.
"Could it be that the Marquis of Gaura is still a pure virgin who has never tasted pleasure, that's why he's so indifferent to me and rejects me without a second thought? That would make me even more excited. With an experienced teacher like me teaching you every night, you will definitely become your brother's best—"
"Shut up."
Xiao Yun couldn't bear it any longer, so he took off the crystal amulet that contained a small magic circle that Yaris had the Magic Tower make for him, and threw it at the succubus.
"roll!"
"Hello--"
The succubus didn't expect that the Grand Marquis Gora would react so violently to her provocative words, nor did she expect that the inconspicuous crystal amulet on Xiao Yun contained a powerful magic circle. She was caught off guard and was torn into pieces by the magic circle on the spot. The white sticky liquid that made up her body seeped into the cracks in the floor tiles.
"Young Master—"
Three black-cloaked mages suddenly emerged from the shadows, lowered their heads, and reported in hoarse, low voices, "The succubus has escaped."
"Can it be tracked?"
"His master is a powerful mage whose strength far exceeds ours."
"oh……"
Xiao Yun nodded.
"Will he come back?"
"Succubi are extremely low-level, primitive creatures of the demonic realm. They have simple structures and low intelligence. Besides being able to seduce desires, they have no offensive capabilities. However, because of this, few barriers can effectively resist the invasion of succubi."
"Because it's simple, it's..."
"If it's your Highness, he might know how to effectively resist the invasion of succubi. This is because the high priests of all generations have been the favorite targets of seduction for succubi and the black magicians who control them."
"I understand. You can go down now."
Xiao Yun waved his hand and asked the magicians to retreat.
"Yes, sir."
The magicians bowed and melted into the shadows like black mist.
Bruno, who was standing by, was stunned and had to try his best to prevent himself from screaming out loud.
He knew that many powerful magicians lived deep in the dense forests of Gaola, and he also knew that the Holy Family had a close relationship with the magic world, and that the Holy Grand Duke was also known as the Grand Duke of Magic, but -
(What just happened...)
"Not a single word of what just happened can be leaked to the outside world."
Xiao Yun warned Bruno coldly.
"I may not punish you severely for spreading this matter, but that succubus and the magician who ordered her to approach me..."
"Yes, sir! Yes, sir!"
Bruno was sweating profusely and shaking like a sieve.
Even though he was nicknamed "The Color Changer", he was still a military commander and did not want to get involved with the demonic world shrouded in dark mist.
…
…
"—I'm in the next room as usual. If you need anything, just ring the bell and call me. Good night!"
After saying the usual words, the maid turned the magic light to the lowest brightness, lowered his head, left the room, and closed the door.
Xiao Yun leaned his head on the pillow and looked at the pale moon outside the window. Suddenly, he felt his eyelids become heavy and the air was filled with overwhelming silence.
There was no wind in the room, and the shadow cast by the bedpost, so faint that it almost merged with the shadow, swayed unnaturally along the ground.
Xiao Yun suddenly opened his eyes.
“Who! Who is it!”
While asking in a low voice, Xiao Yun grabbed the light red crystal pendant around his neck - this pendant was the amulet given to him by Yaris when he left the royal capital. It was once Yaris's personal item, and it contained a mysterious magic circle made by Yaris himself.
"Who is it! Who is there!"
"Don't hide, I can feel you! Come out! Come out now!"
Lucien...Lucien...
A familiar voice with a hint of unnatural sweetness rang out in my heart.
Xiao Yun was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
“——Who! Who are you?!”
[…My voice…Lucien, can’t you recognize my voice?]
"ah……"
Xiao Yun took a breath of cold air.
He was so shocked that he didn't notice that the air in the room was becoming thick and slippery. A large amount of unclean substances that were difficult to describe in words poured into it, tightly entangled with the shadows of the objects, and swayed evilly, as if they would come alive in the next second.
The darkness seemed to come alive, clinging to the bedposts and climbing up, twisting its body like algae, rolling and flowing in pain and stickiness.
Even the moon outside the window became sticky, like a huge piece of white cheese crawling with maggots and about to rot and melt.
The mysterious whispers continue.
[Lucien, I miss you so much, I miss you so much...]
"What did you say? Brother, you are so nervous now, how could you..."
The ninth floor of the tower, but it's so painful... so painful, I can't bear it anymore... Lucien, I need you... I need
"I?"
Xiao Yun asked nervously.
[It's very simple. You just need to infuse your essence into my avatar... I will create an avatar and send it to your room. You will have the deepest contact with it, using it as a medium to transfer your power to me...]
Xiao Yun listened attentively and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Is it that simple?"
[It does sound a bit overly simplistic, but the path of magic isn't necessarily more complex the higher the level, especially when it comes to something like this involving the soul... Lucien, stop thinking about other things and focus on the deepest level of contact with my incarnation. Commit yourself wholeheartedly, and only then will you be able to help me better... I'm in so much pain... I need you... my only blood brother...]
"oh."
Xiao Yun held the crystal amulet tightly and said slowly, "It's very interesting. Please continue."
【You won’t help me?】
The voice sounded a little angry.
"Haven't you always been obedient to me? Over the years, I've loved you like a father or mother, giving you everything I could. Now, I'm just asking you to do me a favor just once. Why are you speaking to me like this? Is your love for me fake? Do you only want to take from me, not give back to me?"
"I am willing to do whatever it takes for my brother."
"Then quickly make the deepest contact with my incarnation, infuse your essence into his body, and pass it on to me. I will take care of everything else, don't worry."
"good."
Xiao Yun's voice was filled with mockery: "Where is the so-called incarnation you prepared, the one who broke through the magic barrier and sneaked into my bedroom late at night?"
[What nonsense are you talking about! I'm your brother! I'm Yaris!]
"No, it's a farce, a foolish deception full of holes."
Xiao Yun propped himself up and looked coldly at the darkness that was twisting and dancing wildly like waterweed.
"From the beginning, I felt strange. Although Yaris is known as the demonic blood nurtured by the Holy Family's five thousand years of inheritance, and his every move makes people feel irresistible temptation, his temptation is as pure and thorough as spring water, permeating the whole body unconsciously, without making people feel sweet or even flattering."
"Besides, the solution you proposed is the one he despises the most! Even if this was the only way to help him, his pride would never choose it!"
Xiao Yun cursed loudly, "The magician who arranged for the succubus to approach me! Tell me, what is your conspiracy?"
【……】
There was a moment of darkness and silence, followed by an inexplicable heartbeat.
Then, the sound rang out again.
Lucien, what are you talking about? You're actually doubting your brother? This is such a sad development...
"Stop acting, you evil creature."
Xiao Yun shouted angrily, "Tell me your true identity now! Otherwise, I'll ring the bell and have the magicians in the next room expel you!"
【It's useless. You can't call anyone. 】
The darkness revealed its true nature, with a sneering malice.
[I want to have a private conversation with you, but I don't want those damn magicians to disturb me, so I stole the master's belongings and set up a special barrier in your room that will lead directly to your dreams.]
(So it was a dream passage, no wonder he kept asking for my permission.)
Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and sneered, "The dream passage is indeed the only passage that cannot be completely closed, but as long as I, the master of the dream, forbid you from approaching, you will never be able to truly touch me!"
[Okay, you saw through me.]
Along with mocking words in his heart, a thick and sticky breath surged out of the darkness like a wave, condensed into a body, and stood in front of the bed in the posture of a newborn.
It was undoubtedly a beautiful body.
Her white body was slender and fragile, her long black hair gleamed in the moonlight, as if it could merge into the darkness at any moment, her black eyes were mysterious and deep, she was looking at her brother on the bed with incredible eyes, her lips were as red as coral fruit, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a suspicious smile.
"You finally came out!"
Xiao Yun suppressed his anger and shouted, "Change back! Don't appear in front of me as Yaris!"
"Why can't I appear before you in the form of Yaris? Don't you like it?"
The succubus, who deliberately transformed into the appearance of Yaris, raised her hand and stroked her rosy lips, with soft black hair wrapped around her fair arms.
"I am a very lowly demonic being, and can only temporarily transform into the form of another person when their essence is within me. But this is your dream, and I can use your memories of Yaris to transform into his form."
[The clearer your memory of him is, the closer the illusion of him will be to the real him, or in other words, the him in your eyes.]
The succubus giggled and caressed herself in ecstasy.
[As expected of the Holy Family's supreme pureblood, every inch of her skin is so beautiful... Too bad I can't bring her back to the real world, so I can only caress her in your dreams... Hey, you really don't want to do something fun with me? Such a beautiful body must be kept chaste, what a waste...]
