Chapter 642: Succubus
Former Black Tortoise Branch, Walled City of Ten Dragons.
Wearing a mask with lopsided features, Yan Liang walked into the lobby with his hands behind his slightly hunched back. Two Guild members were in a tangled mess on a sofa for visiting guests.
Pinned to the sofa by Succubus, Xiao Xin looked panicked and embarrassed, his face and ears flushed. “Miss, Miss Succubus, please don’t...”
Succubus straddled Xiao Xin’s thighs. She had long blue curls with a middle part, a sensuous body with all the right curves, a captivating face, and purplish red freckles dotting her cheeks like makeup to recreate burn marks. There was a unique charm to her.
She was wearing a tightly fitted beige jumper dress with a heart-shaped hole in the chest area, almost revealing her breasts. With both hands around Xiao Xin’s neck, she pressed her body to his, her light-purple upcurved eyes enthralling.
“Haha, such a shy boy. Are you...a virgin?” She chuckled liltingly, her voice sultry and suggestive.
“I’m...I’m here to visit Elder Yan Liang.”
She pressed a finger to his lips, whispering into his ear like she was telling a secret. Then she bit his earlobe.
“Agh!” Xiao Xin panicked and pushed her off with a shout.
“Oh...”
Succubus fell off his body, landing on the floor without making a sound like a piece of cloth, her body supple and boneless.
Instead of picking herself up, she lay down then and there, stroking her legs, covered in white stockings, and speaking in a disappointed tone, “A real square... So boring.”
“You...”
Xiao Xin shot to his feet, pointing at Succubus and breathing unevenly like he was going to say something. But then he saw Yan Liang from the corner of his eye, and he turned around, standing to attention. “Elder Yan Liang!”
Yan Liang nodded slightly, glancing at the woman lying on the floor. She looked like a pool of water. “Get up.”
Succubus was still smiling, but her expression turned a little more serious.
She got to her feet in a smooth motion, as if she had no bones.
He had already attempted the experiment; it didn’t work at all.
Yan Liang didn’t ask in more detail. “Have you received the message, Dr. Jia?”
“What message?”
“Seven Shadow, the traitor, sent an encoded message to all awakeners.”
“Let me see.” Dr. Jia turned around and went up to a workstation, picking up his phone and checking the message. It didn’t take him long to read it.
“Haha.” He dropped his phone, looking disinterested. “It’s alright. Better-written than the one your Guild sent, but not by much.”
Yan Liang’s eyes were old, but clear and sharp. “I heard that the technology to make a universal announcement is only licensed to the three major organizations, and it’s only possible with a registered phone. How could Seven Shadow, a traitor, do this from an unregistered number?”
“Because I gave him the key,” Dr. Jia admitted easily.
Yan Liang fell silent. He hadn’t expected the honesty.
Then he asked, “Did Seven Shadow threaten you? You should’ve told us.”
“Nah,” Dr. Jia said. “That time we went to Ni Nation, Seven Shadow asked me for a key. He said that life monsters were dangerous, and if he met an untimely end, he would like to give the information to everyone before his death. So, I gave him a key. I didn’t expect it to be of use like this. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t remember something that trivial.”
Yan Liang fell silent again.
Dr. Jia chuckled. “Worry not, the key could only be used once. It’s no longer viable.”
Yan Liang nodded and dropped the issue. “Dr. Jia, I’ll leave these two to you.”
“You’re watching me?” Dr. Jia asked harshly.
“No, I’m asking you to develop something for us. You’re free to make use of their blood and energy freely.” Yan Liang handed him an energy battery. “This is Vermilion Bird’s vital energy...”
“I don’t have the time,” Dr. Jia rejected coldly. “I’m busy.”
