Chapter 178: This is actually the first time I've brought a man home

Ruth and Charlotte went downstairs and boarded the carriage parked by the side door.

"Sorry, Doctor, for involving you in trouble," Ruth looked apologetically at Charlotte.

"It's not your fault," Charlotte smiled and shook his head. He looked at Ruth, who seemed a bit down, and asked softly, "Who is Amos?"

"He..." Ruth hesitated for a moment and then said, "He is a noble offspring of the Succubus clan, as well as a distant relative of the Daniels family, a level four Succubus strongman."

Charlotte pondered for a moment. Unlike the large and powerful races such as the Humans, Elves, and Dwarves, smaller races like the Succubus and Vampires also existed in the land of Isor.

It's just that they didn't have vast territories or large armies, so they didn't have much presence.

But being an ancient race that has always existed, they have had their moments of glory and their strength should not be underestimated.

At least judging from the fame of the Succubus spreading throughout the land of Isor, the numbers of this race are not as scarce as one might imagine.

"I overheard a conversation between him and his servant earlier. He mentioned the High Priest and the Holy Maiden, and he tried to use you as a catalyst for his promotion to the fifth level," Charlotte said, wanting to alert Ruth.

"That guy!" Ruth clenched her small fist in anger.

After thinking for a moment, she continued, "The High Priest is the most powerful being in the Succubus clan, and she is like the leader of the clan.

She travels around, searching for Succubus scattered throughout the land, and selects the talented ones for cultivation.

Three days ago, she came to the Abyss and found me, claiming that I have awakened the 'Enchanting Eyes' and intending to take me back to the clan for cultivation."

"The Enchanting Eyes?" Charlotte looked at Ruth's eyes, which had a faint golden color. They were indeed seductive, but weren't they a typical trait of Succubus?

"No, it's like this," Ruth said softly, and suddenly her golden eyes became brighter and seemed to swirl.

In Charlotte's eyes, Ruth became even more alluring, sitting there coyly with her teeth gently biting her red lips, a tempting appearance that was hard to resist.

Ding!

The sound of the system interrupted their moment.

Charlotte's eyes cleared up, and he realized that he had unknowingly stood up and was less than a centimeter away from Ruth's lips.

He quickly stepped back to his seat, unable to hide his astonishment.

He could confirm that he had indeed been enchanted before, completely defenseless.

If it weren't for the sudden alert from the system, he didn't even know what would have happened next.

But one thing was certain if Ruth had intended to make a move on him earlier, he wouldn't have had any chance to resist.

After all, Ruth was only a second-level Succubus, and her awakened talent was indeed quite formidable.

"This is the power of the Enchanting Eyes," Ruth said with a cunning smile, but also somewhat surprised. "But I didn't expect you to have such strong self-control, doctor, to be able to break free from the influence of the Enchanting Eyes on your own."New novel chapters are published on

Ruth led him into the house, and Daisy lit the fireplace, quickly warming up the place.

"Daisy, go get a bottle of wine and make two small side dishes to go with it," Ruth instructed Daisy, then sat beside Charlotte.

With her disguise as a glamorous dancer removed, Ruth, wearing a plain floral dress, sat next to Charlotte, exuding the charm of a delicate woman.

She supported her chin with her hand, propped her elbow on the table, and stared at Charlotte with a smile.

It was the first time Charlotte had seen her in such a peaceful manner.

Before long, Daisy brought a bottle of red wine and two small dishes.

The wine was good, but the two dishes... seemed to be reheated leftovers from outside, edible but plain in taste.

Ruth poured wine into two tall glasses, held up her glass, and smiled at him. "Doctor, thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Charlotte also raised his glass, smiling in return.

"Thank you for saving me, and thank you for letting me meet you." Ruth lightly clinked her glass against his, then drank half of it in one gulp.

Charlotte took a sip.

Ruth probably didn't drink often; her cheeks visibly reddened, and her gaze became slightly unfocused, making her even more alluring.

Then she began to chatter about some past events, like how she came to the Abyss, the hardships she endured while learning to dance under her master, the nervousness of her first stage performance, and the joy of being liked by everyone...

Charlotte quietly listened, occasionally responding with a smile.

It was the first time he had heard Ruth talk about her past, about a young succubus who lost her parents, stumbled into the Abyss, and was taken in as an apprentice by a beautiful dancer.

She learned to dance when she was young...

The path to becoming the top dancer on Amman Street was paved with countless hardships, but that's how she achieved her solid position today.

A hint of pity appeared in his eyes. Behind her glamorous facade, how many people truly knew about her sorrows?

With a bottle of wine down, Charlotte began to feel a bit intoxicated.

Ruth, on the other hand, hung her whole body on him, her arms wrapped around his neck as she sat on his lap.

Her face was flushed and hot, her gaze unfocused, and she whispered in his ear, "She... she said that if I want to become a holy woman, I must not give myself away.

But, Doctor, if I should leave the Abyss, I want... I want to give myself completely to you..."

Charlotte's hand, which was encircling her slender waist, paused.

The slight intoxication immediately sobered up.

Despite the soft and scorching beauty in his arms, he couldn't bring himself to make a move, not even a gentle push.
