Love between men and women
In the dark corridor, a panicked figure ran past in a mess.
Xixi ran back to her room in a panic, forgetting to open the door and walked straight in.
She flung herself down on her big bed in a mess, her mind echoing with the lustful, strong yet fragile expression on his face when he said "please me".
Too seductive.
Who is the succubus?
She sat up from the chaos, stretched out her hands and patted her face, and couldn't help being shocked: It's so hot!
This felt very novel to her, and she rubbed it on her face a few more times. It turned out that she could be shy too?
Isn't this a behavior that is unique to Gu Tinglan and only occurs in humans?
Ahhh, so annoying!
Xixi calmed down and felt the heat around her face and ears slowly subside. She suddenly lowered her eyes and looked at the palms of her hands, recalling the warm touch when Gu Tinglan placed his face in her hands before.
Smooth and delicate, Xixi subconsciously moved her fingers, savoring it, and regretted in her heart that she did not seize the opportunity, as she could have touched it more.
So, can she and Gu Tinglan now be considered to have what is called an intimate relationship between humans in TV dramas?
Boyfriend and girlfriend.
Although I don’t know why.
Gu Tinglan had clearly said before that he liked her, and she had also said that she liked him, but it still didn't improve the distance between them.
After Gu Tinglan came back from the amusement park, he treated her as well as if he had not confessed his feelings to her, so well that it was impeccable, but he still kept his distance and was unwilling to do anything intimate with her.
Xixi didn't understand. It was normal for lovers to kiss, have sex and make love.
However, he only gave her a light kiss, which was not at all as passionate as the French kiss that Xi Yin described. So she thought that Gu Tinglan didn't really like her, which made her distressed.
She couldn't figure it out on her own, so she went to ask Xi Yin. After telling Xi Yin about her situation, Xi Yin said to her, "Oh, is that so? I don't really understand either."
"After all, the humans who can do intimate things with me are all food. Why should I have an intimate relationship with food?" Perhaps seeing that she was unhappy, he added, "Ah, I don't mean to lecture you, but your situation is indeed a bit rare."
"You don't even know. The last time you asked me how to be a good daughter-in-law, I was stunned. You're a succubus, how can you marry the food you chose?"
"But since you're so willing, I can't stop you. But you have to remember that human lifespan is limited, so it's best not to get too involved."
Although her tone was still as nonchalant as ever, Xixi could tell that she didn't really recommend her to worry about things that she thought were unnecessary. But Xixi couldn't control herself. She didn't dare to think too much. Even if Gu Tinglan had a short life, she just wanted to stay by his side forever.
Just when she thought her questioning was fruitless, Xi Yin suddenly said to her, "Why don't you try to be more clear when you confess next time?"
"What?" This really touched upon her blind spot. Wasn't it clear enough that I liked you? Besides, he treated her the same way.
"Just say that you like him as a man and a woman."
"What the hell?" Xixi was confused. She asked, "Even if I'm a succubus, is it hard to tell that I'm a cute girl?"
"Yes, yes, you're cute. You don't have any other options anyway, right? Just leave it at that. Come on."
After Xi Yin finished speaking, he hung up the video without hesitation, leaving Xixi standing in front of the screen, confused.
She didn't understand why.
It was not until just now when Gu Tinglan hugged her and said to her chest in an almost pleading tone, "Can you only like me, okay?" that Xi Qian suddenly realized that he lacked a sense of security.
As is often said in TV dramas, if one of the lovers lacks a sense of security, the relationship will not last long.
That's why he didn't want to get close to her. He must be afraid that she would run away after using him.
Xixi, who understood what was happening, looked at the pitiful Gu Tinglan and couldn't help but want to tease him, which led to what happened later.
But just now when he proposed to get close to her, she couldn't help but run away. No wonder he didn't believe her.
But, but she didn't know why she ran away. She just felt that her whole body was about to be burned at that time. She just wanted to escape and leave that place as soon as possible, otherwise she would be confused by Gu Tinglan's face and do some obscene things.
etc.
Xixi suddenly remembered that she was a succubus, so what was wrong with being a little lewd?
She really won't run away next time. If anyone has to run away, it should be him.
Just like that, Xixi closed her eyes in her wild thoughts, and in a daze, a few words came out of her mouth: Next time I must let Gu Tinglan taste my power, this is her dignity as a succubus!
***
After staying up too late, Xixi slept until the afternoon again, because yesterday Gu Tinglan's mother locked Lin Mo in the basement, left after saying that she believed Gu Tinglan could handle it, and said that she had something to do.
Without her around, Xixi relaxed a lot.
She walked out of the room slowly, thinking about how to face him along the way. As a result, she looked around the living room and kitchen but there was no one there.
Gu family basement.
The damp air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. The walls were engraved with runes designed to suppress evil spirits, gleaming faintly with golden light under the dim light. Lin Mo was bound to a stone chair by specially crafted chains, entwined with the Gu family's unique spells. Each chain dug deeply into his flesh, leaving him completely unable to move.
Gu Tinglan sat opposite him, tapping the table lightly with his fingertips. The sound was particularly clear in the silent basement.
"Lin Mo, you're not an exorcist," he said slowly, his voice terrifyingly calm. "I probably didn't know you before."
Lin Mo raised his eyes, with that disgusting smile still on his lips: "You are a carefree young master, how can you have time to get to know me?" There was sarcasm in his tone.
"You're right, you're just trash," Gu Tinglan's eyes were as cold as ice, "Knowing you will only pollute my eyes, it's not worth it."
"Gu Tinglan, you bitch, isn't it just your birth that's good? Without the Gu family, you'd be a waste!" Lin Mo shouted angrily.
Gu Tinglan scoffed, showing no sign of anger. "If I'm not mistaken, you've been learning how to use magic tools and formations for a long time, and your proficiency isn't even as good as the results of my casual practice these past few days." He leaned down slightly, looking down at Lin Mo, and said lightly, "Who's the loser?"
Lin Mo wanted to curse, but Gu Tinglan reached out and pinched his mouth, so he could only make some whimpering sounds.
"Why do you have to capture Xixi?" Gu Tinglan asked coldly, "You know she's mine, but you still want to take the risk. What use is she to you?"
Lin Mo sneered: "Your person? That little succubus? I just saw that she was pretty, uh-"
Gu Tinglan pinched his mouth again and ignored his provocation. Instead, he picked up a wooden box from the table and opened it. Several silver needles were neatly placed inside. Each one was engraved with fine runes and glowed coldly under the light.
"These are the Gu family's 'Conscience Needles'." Gu Tinglan slowly took out one, "You should have heard of its effects."
Lin Mo's smile froze for a moment. The Heart-Searching Needle—the Gu family's unique torture device—could directly affect the soul, forcing a person to endure pain while in an extremely lucid state, and making it impossible for them to lie.
"Do you think I'm afraid of this?" Lin Mo forced a cold smile, "Gu Tinglan, you're so naive."
Gu Tinglan didn't answer, but directly inserted the first needle into Lin Mo's collarbone. Lin Mo's body suddenly straightened, a suppressed groan came from his throat, and cold sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead.
"First question," Gu Tinglan said, his voice as calm as if he were discussing the weather, "who provided you with the Gu family's magical instruments and formations?"
Lin Mo clenched his teeth, the muscles on his face twisted with pain, but the corners of his mouth still had that disgusting smile: "Guess..."
Gu Tinglan expressionlessly inserted the second needle, this time right above the heart. Lin Mo's body trembled violently, his face pale, and cold sweat soaked his clothes.
"My patience is limited." Gu Tinglan said calmly, "Who is behind you?"
Lin Mo gasped for breath, but his eyes were still crazy: "You... are not... unable to guess."
At this moment, the basement door was pushed open and Xixi walked in. Her eyes swept across Lin Mo's pale face and finally landed on Gu Tinglan: "Did you find out anything?"
Gu Tinglan shook his head: "You're very stubborn."
But, he could probably guess that it was related to his father, and perhaps he could get the answer from his father.
Xixi walked up to Lin Mo and looked down at him. "Lin Mo, do you think the people behind you will come to save you?" She sneered, "You are just a discarded pawn."
Lin Mo's pupils shrank slightly.
"The marks on those succubi," Sissi continued, "are not ordinary blood contracts at all, but transfer spells—you are using their life force to support someone, right?"
The Blood Pact is a mark unique to succubi. Succubi can mark food during intimacy, preventing other succubi from taking their own food. A Blood Pact is unique and can only be made to one person, leaving a mark on both parties. These marks are invisible to ordinary humans, but she, a fellow succubus, can see them.
But that day, so many succubi had marks similar to blood contracts on their bodies. Xixi immediately realized that it was a transfer spell, but when she thought about it carefully, she didn't know why she knew about the transfer spell, but she was inexplicably certain of it.
So she took this opportunity to test him.
Sure enough, Lin Mo's expression finally changed.
Gu Tinglan narrowed his eyes. "I see." He stood up. "No wonder you'd rather endure the pain of the needle than speak. If you did, that person would kill you immediately."
Lin Mo didn't know what he remembered. His breathing became rapid and the madness in his eyes was gradually replaced by fear.
"But it doesn't matter," Gu Tinglan picked up the third needle, "I have plenty of time to play with you."
The air in the basement seemed to freeze.
Gu Tinglan's finger stopped above the third needle, and his eyes turned completely cold.
His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but it made Lin Mo instinctively tense up. "The scars on those succubi are not just for draining their vitality."
Lin Mo's Adam's apple rolled, and the fear he had felt earlier had vanished. He said stubbornly, "You don't know, but a succubus's physique makes for a great plaything."
Xixi was standing aside. When she heard these words, she couldn't help but kick him in the face. The force was so strong that Lin Mo's face was twisted. He screamed violently and could no longer utter a disgusting word.
But Xixi was still not satisfied. She thought of the shocking scars on the three succubi - whip marks, bite marks, burns... Those wounds were new and old, and it was obvious that they were not caused in one go.
"You like playing a lot, don't you?" Gu Tinglan looked at the furious Xixi, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes. He suddenly grabbed Lin Mo's neck with such force that it almost crushed his throat. "You treat them as toys?"
Lin Mo's face flushed crimson, his eyes bulged, but he was still smiling: "They...are originally...lowly...demons..."
Gu Tinglan suddenly let go of his hand, and Lin Mo started coughing violently, gasping for breath like a dying fish.
"Xixi," Gu Tinglan said without turning back, "You go out first."
Xixi didn't move: "No, I want to hear him finish."
Gu Tinglan was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. He turned to Lin Mo, his eyes calm, but that calmness was more terrifying than rage.
"One last chance," he said, picking up the needle. "Who are you providing life force for?"
The corners of Lin Mo's mouth twitched, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. Just as the needle was about to pierce him, he suddenly screamed: "I said! It's——"
His voice stopped abruptly.
A stream of black energy suddenly gushed out of his seven orifices, and Lin Mo's body convulsed violently, the blood vessels beneath his skin wriggling like a living thing. Gu Tinglan quickly retreated, protecting Xixi behind him.
"Silencing spell!"
Lin Mo's screams echoed in the basement. His eyeballs burst, blood gushed out of his eye sockets, followed by his ears, nostrils, and the corners of his mouth...
In just a few seconds, the man who had been so arrogant just now turned into a corpse beyond recognition.
Xixi's stomach churned. She had seen death before, but such a cruel method still made her feel uncomfortable.
Gu Tinglan examined the body, his face solemn. "He's been placed under a double restraint. If he tries to reveal any crucial information, it will be triggered."
Xixi stared at Lin Mo's twisted body and suddenly said, "He deserves it."
Gu Tinglan looked at her with some surprise.
"Those succubi..." Xixi's voice trembled slightly, "The pain they experienced was a thousand times more than this."
Gu Tinglan nodded silently. He took out a piece of talisman paper and lit it. The flames instantly engulfed Lin Mo's body, leaving no ashes.
He had checked and found out that Lin Mo had no parents or even relatives. His mother told him to do whatever he wanted with Lin Mo and that she would handle any problems later.
So Gu Tinglan didn't plan to keep this disgusting corpse, which would pollute Xixi's eyes and bring back bad memories for her.
"The clues are broken," he said, "but at least we know one thing - anyone who knows so much about the Gu family's magic and can set up such a restriction must be an expert."
This is not difficult to guess, the tricky part is who he is providing vitality for.
Xixi glanced at him and said, "Xiyin told me that the injuries of those succubi have healed. Now that Lin Mo is dead, the transfer spell should have been lifted."
"Well, it's all your credit. You saved them."
Xixi lowered her eyes: "Then they... forget it."
She blinked and looked at Gu Tinglan again, "As long as you praise me, that's enough."
If they hate me, then let them hate me.
