Chapter 29: Feeding the Succubus! Serene—Shut Up!
“Mm-hmm~”
Liu Mufei hummed softly, a sly smile curving at the corners of her lips as she steered the conversation elsewhere. “So, what do you think of those two?”
“The one with the mask? No clue. But that female knight—she’s something else,” Li Hongyou replied, her tone earnest.
“I thought so too.” Liu Mufei nodded, then pressed on, “Do you think they’d be open to recruitment?”
“I’m not wasting my breath on that. You’ll just dump the mess on me anyway.” Li Hongyou rolled her eyes, her tone icy. “Remember, I’m not your subordinate. I report to Central.”
“Cold as ever~ Is this what the Li Family’s treasured young lady is really like~?” Liu Mufei shook her head, but a knowing smile tugged at her lips. “Still, I owe you one this time, little Hongyou~”
“Ugh!”
…
Bai Xuan slept soundly, lost in dreams. Mare Alera was curled tightly around his arm, a blissful smile on her face as she slumbered.
It wasn’t ideal—until they found a proper place to stay, Serene and Mare Alera had no choice but to crowd together with him.
Fortunately, Bai Xuan had always been a heavy sleeper.
Even Mare Alera’s occasional nibbling on his arm wasn’t enough to disturb him.
But while the others drifted peacefully, Serene’s eyes snapped open. She sat up slowly, one hand brushing over her stomach as she murmured, “So hungry…”
Her cool, crystalline gaze slid toward the sleeping Bai Xuan, drawn by instinct.
Ever since the Sacred Accord had been signed, the Pope of Light’s whispers echoed in her mind: “This man~”
“He is your contractor~”
“Now, you may dine.”
Gulp—
Serene swallowed reflexively.
Golden demon horns and her heart-shaped tail shimmered into view, and her eyes glowed with tiny pink hearts.
She’d exhausted all her mana. Hunger gnawed at her, sharp and desperate.
And her food was—
Serene slipped out of bed and climbed onto Bai Xuan’s.
She lifted the blanket, parted the faint haze lingering in the room, and was greeted by the first rays of Holy Light at dawn.
Just as she was about to begin, she hesitated.
Within her, two voices clashed.
Knight: You can’t eat him!
Succubus: Eat. If you don’t, you’ll starve!
Knight: No! Absolutely not!
Succubus: It’s fine. This won’t violate your oath! This is a gift just for you~
Knight: No, you’re human now! The Pope made you one!
Succubus: But desire is part of being human. You can’t deny your instincts~
Succubus: Come on, it’s your first meal~
Succubus: It’ll be so~ delicious~
Succubus: And this isn’t just any food! It’s Pope-certified—you can savor it without worry~
I…
While Serene wavered, Bai Xuan felt a weight settle atop him and slowly opened his eyes.
He found Serene straddling him, confusion flickering in his gaze.
“Serene? You…”
“Master.” Serene looked up, her eyes shining with heart-shaped irises. Her voice was soft, almost timid. “I… think I’m a little hungry.”
“?”
Bai Xuan blinked, realization dawning.
After exhausting the life mana in the Source of Life, Serene needed to replenish herself immediately.
And under the Sacred Accord, the terms were clear: aside from the Flower of Life, if she wished to restore her life mana, it was up to her contractor—him—to provide.
Which meant…
Bai Xuan considered for a moment. As Serene’s summoner, it was his responsibility to look after her well-being.
After a brief pause, he replied, “Go ahead.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
He didn’t hesitate.
You need my life mana?
Then take as much as you need!
Succubus!
Let’s see what you can do!
“Thank you.”
Serene’s lips curved in a faint smile. She began to chant softly:
“May your body receive the blessing of the Goddess of Light, and stand tall even a hundred times over…”
As her incantation faded, a gentle golden glow spread across Bai Xuan’s skin, brightest where she was about to feast.
The light was like the sunrise—warm and radiant.
Bai Xuan froze for a moment.
What’s this? Is she planning to go a hundred rounds?
Are you trying to kill me?!
Serene, too, paused, momentarily startled by the brilliance—a rare flicker of surprise crossing her usually composed features.
“Amazing…”
She reached out, touching the glow with her fingertip, brows lifting in wonder.
The Holy Light was even stronger than she expected—had it always been this intense?
But none of that mattered. As long as it came from Bai Xuan, it was enough.
With the Sacred Accord in place, Bai Xuan was the only man in the world who could offer her Holy Light.
“I… I’m starting.”
“Mm.”
Serene’s slender fingers traced the magical sigil on her belly, igniting it with a soft golden light.
She leaned down, lips parting as she began her chant, only to find the Holy Light unexpectedly difficult to absorb.
She paused, then coiled her heart-shaped tail around the Holy Light, letting her demonic essence smooth its flow. With that, she leaned in and tried again.
This time—
She succeeded.
Sss—
Bai Xuan felt as if he were plunging into an abyss, a terrifying demon draining the very core of his soul!
He sucked in a breath and glanced down.
Serene’s head was bowed, chanting softly, utterly focused.
Despite her calm expression and that knightly, icy aura, she was completely absorbed in drawing out the Holy Light.
Especially when she tucked a strand of golden hair behind her ear, never breaking rhythm in her chant.
Beautiful~
All Bai Xuan could do was cooperate.
He wanted to hold out, to prove he could endure.
But against a succubus, he was hopelessly outmatched!
Even this gentle chanting was too much for him to withstand.
He was just an ordinary student, after all.
Well… perhaps a little more than ordinary…
Ahem!
Wait!
Crap!
I—I lost!
【Ding!】
【Character Mission (Serene) prerequisite in progress—!】
【Feed Serene three times (1/3)!】
Huh?
Bai Xuan was startled. So Serene’s Character Mission unlock condition was… feeding her three times?
When Serene finally finished, she wiped her mouth, releasing Bai Xuan with a look of deep satisfaction.
The hearts in her eyes faded, returning to their usual clarity.
She glanced at him, a hint of apology in her voice. “Sorry for waking you so late.”
“It’s… it’s fine.”
Other than his trembling legs, Bai Xuan was more or less unscathed…
Serene continued softly, “Thank you for the meal. Get some rest.”
With that, she slipped back under her blanket and quickly drifted off.
Behind her, her succubus tail swayed gently, clearly content.
Bai Xuan stared at the ceiling, dazed, a lingering glimmer of excitement in his eyes.
—
The next morning, Bai Xuan woke from his dream.
Even after a full night’s sleep, his legs still felt weak.
The succubus’s aftereffects were simply too much.
Eighteen years of sunshine and mana, and he still couldn’t withstand a succubus’s fire.
Sigh~
He let out a long breath and glanced to his side. Serene was already awake, stretching in the morning light as if nothing at all had transpired the night before.
Then he looked over at Mare Alera.
The little one still clung tightly to his arm, nibbling away.
She wasn’t biting hard—just leaving a patch of damp drool on his sleeve.
Not only that, but Mare Alera’s plump dragon tail was coiled around his thigh, leaving a faint mark.
Ha—
Bai Xuan exhaled and reached out to pinch her chubby tail, hoping it would help him relax.
To his surprise, the sensation was wonderful—the dragon scales looked hard, but felt incredibly soft to the touch.
How could that be…?
Hm?
Just then, Mare Alera’s scales abruptly hardened, glittering coldly like gemstones.
She slowly opened her eyes.
“Human? What are you doing?”
Mare Alera rubbed the sleep from her eyes, peering at Bai Xuan with curiosity.
Suddenly, she noticed him holding her tail. A mischievous smile spread across her face as she pressed, “Do you like my tail?”
With a flourish, she thrust her tail toward him. “If you like it, it’s all yours!”
