“—”
When Shien Buztout’s casual yet pointed sarcasm left his mouth, silence descended once more. However, this wasn’t the silence of death, but the oppressive calm before a storm.
Liel’s expression vanished, replaced by an eerie calmness, as if looking at a dead man.
Seeing this, Shien’s expression also disappeared. His enhanced sixth sense from [Outer Awareness of Heaven’s Decree] warned him of impending danger.
Liel stared coldly at Shien, silent. But a strange light began to emanate from her eyes.
Just as the light intensified, a slender, ivory-white hand landed on her shoulder.
“Stop, Liel,” a sweet and seductive voice instantly dispelled the oppressive atmosphere.
“Master Shafney…” Liel’s eyes lost their strange glow as she turned to Shafney.
Shafney’s composure returned, a smile on her face. However, she wasn’t smiling at Liel, but at Shien, seemingly more interested in him than before.
Jealousy surged in Liel’s heart.
However, she didn’t disobey Shafney’s order. No matter how jealous or resentful she felt, Liel would never defy Shafney.
So, although unwilling, Liel withdrew her magic power, the light in her eyes dissipating.
Shien imdiately sensed the danger vanish, his gaze towards Liel deepening. Her behavior intrigued him.
Unbeknownst to Shien, seeing his reaction, Shafney’s smile widened.
This was the first ti a man t her and didn’t imdiately beco captivated, even ignoring her presence.
This was a new experience for Shafney.
Seeing the situation calm down, the surrounding demons finally recovered from their shock.
Including those who rushed out from Succubus City upon hearing the commotion. They were stunned upon seeing Shafney, then panicked.
“We greet the Succubus!” The demons of Succubus City knelt.
“We greet the Succubus!” Shajina and the newly arrived Shajin Clan mbers also knelt, awestruck.
However, despite their awe, they couldn’t help but steal glances at Shafney, their eyes filled with fascination, regardless of gender.
Seeing the demons’ normal reactions, and Shien still pondering Liel’s behavior, Shafney felt a sense of novelty.
She ignored the surrounding demons.
“Your na is Shien, right?” Shafney said to Shien, her voice filled with interest, “How interesting. I’ll rember your na.”
Yes. Only now did Shafney truly rember Shien’s na. Although she had heard of him many tis before, she hadn’t bothered to rember it until now.
Shien looked at Shafney, the enchanting Succubus with a captivating smile, and his heart pounded uncontrollably.
(Damn, this is bad.)
This Succubus was truly poisonous, making his heart race. No wonder she was considered the most beautiful woman in Omnipotence.
If there were a goddess of beauty in this world, it would probably be this Succubus, right?
Of course, the God Race would definitely disagree.
Shien quickly reviewed the “study materials” in his mind, chanting “I’m not a pervert” and “I’m not a simp” thousands of tis, finally forcing himself to calm down.
Yes, forcing himself.
Otherwise, he might truly be unable to resist the temptation.
(Think of those protagonists in novels, which one of them isn’t indifferent to won?)
Shien kept hypnotizing himself. He didn’t want to beco a pathetic simp like those side characters in novels from his previous life, fawning over goddesses and being constantly rejected.
Thinking of this, Shien truly cald down.
“You’re Shafney, right?” he said bluntly, “I’m here to see Airi.”
These blunt and impolite words surprised everyone. They had never seen anyone so calm and indifferent upon eting the Succubus.
“Master…” Even Shajina was stunned. She thought Shien was here for the Succubus, an admirer of hers. But not only did he not seem captivated, he even seed sowhat resistant, especially after calling her “daddy.”
Shajina didn’t know that Shien was struggling to resist her charm.
“How dare he be so disrespectful to Master Shafney…” Liel was about to explode again.
But Shafney held her shoulder, her gaze towards Shien intensifying.
“I know you’re here for Airi,” she said, looking at Shien with a pitiful expression, “But there’s no need to be in such a hurry, right? Don’t you want to chat with first?”
Her voice and tone were incredibly seductive.
Shien’s lips twitched, a surge of irritation rising in his heart.
He quickly said,
“No need. I’m a monk… no, I’m not interested in won. I just want to see Airi.”
He even used such a blatant lie as an excuse.
“Pfft.” Shafney couldn’t help but laugh, her laughter captivating and making everyone stare, their mouths dry.
Even Liel couldn’t help but look at Shafney with adoration.
Shien quickly averted his gaze, shouting inwardly,
(Amitabha, Amitabha, Buddha, please save ! This woman is truly poisonous!)
He felt he couldn’t hold on much longer.
But Shafney ca closer, looking at him with a captivating smile.
“As far as I know, you have a fiancée who’s hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Human Realm, and there are also quite a few won around you. Is this what you call ‘not interested in won’?”
Shafney’s beautiful eyes curved into crescents.
Shien looked away, even taking a few steps back.
“You misunderstand,” he said seriously, “They were the ones who ca to . I just accepted them because why not?”
These infuriating words, if Lucy and the others were here, they would definitely kill him.
Only Shafney beca even more interested.
“Then I’m also offering myself to you, right?” Shafney said, pointing at her delicate cheek, looking pitiful, “Following your principle of ‘why not,’ do you want to ‘reluctantly’ accept as well?”
Shien almost spat out blood.
This was indeed a Succubus, who could resist this?
Not just Shien, but even the surrounding demons looked captivated, almost losing themselves.
However, seeing Shafney’s captivating smile as she stared at Shien, they looked at him silently, their eyes filled with jealousy, resentnt, and even killing intent.
Especially Liel.
If it weren’t for Shafney’s presence, she would have attacked Shien imdiately.
Shien felt countless curses gathering on him, making him uncomfortable.
“You… you’re joking, Your Highness,” Shien said, continuing to retreat while forcing a smile.
“How do you know I’m joking? What if I’m serious?” Shafney asked, still smiling as she approached him.
“You said ‘what if’…” Shien continued to retreat, his face stiff.
“What’s impossible for others is possible for you. Perhaps I’m already moved,” Shafney said, her smile unwavering.
Seeing this, Shien finally couldn’t take it anymore.
“Don’t co any closer!” The dignified Hero actually said these words, like a damsel in distress.
“No, I’m coming,” Shafney said, not only unaffected but even quickening her pace.
“Swoosh!” Shien teleported, appearing in mid-air.
“Swoosh!” Unexpectedly, Shafney also teleported, appearing before him again.
“Holy crap!” Seeing her stunningly beautiful face and devilishly alluring figure suddenly appear before him, Shien’s heart trembled, and he couldn’t help but curse, teleporting away again.
“Hee hee.” Shafney finally laughed genuinely, happily teleporting after him.
Thus, Shien and Shafney’s figures appeared and disappeared repeatedly in mid-air, leaving their traces in the sky.
“I’m warning you, don’t co any closer!”
“But what if I want to co closer?”
“I’m married!”
“I don’t mind.”
“I’m your sister’s fiancé!”
“I mind even less.”
“I advise you to stop playing. My willpower isn’t as strong as you think. If I lose control, even I will be afraid!”
“Then I’d like to see you lose control. Co on, show .”
“I…”
“Heh heh…”
Shien’s frustrated cries and Shafney’s silver bell-like laughter echoed.
Leaving everyone speechless.
That day, all the demons in Succubus City questioned their reality.
Seeing Shafney, with a smile on her face, chasing Shien, they felt like they were dreaming.
Who was she?
The Succubus!
The most beautiful being in Omnipotence!
The enchanting demoness who rejected even kingdoms offered to her, desired by countless heroes yet unattainable!
This nation-toppling beauty, on this day, not only appeared at the city gate personally, but was also chasing a man through the sky?
If this wasn’t a dream, how could such a thing happen?
Especially since the man was running around in terror as if he had seen a man-eating monster, making everyone feel that this was beyond comprehension.
Countless questions filled their minds:
“Who is he?”
“What’s his relationship with the Succubus?”
“Why does the Succubus like him so much?”
While pondering these unanswerable questions, the demons were consud by envy and jealousy.
They didn’t know what this man’s background was that could make the Succubus so fond of him.
But the fact that the Succubus favored a man so much was enough to make everyone present jealous.
“That man doesn’t seem to be a demon.”
“Is he human?”
“To be able to fight against Liel without being hard, and even possess teleportation, he must be a rare expert among humans, right?”
“When did such a young expert appear among the Human Race?”
“Could he be…?”
Gradually, so seed to have guessed Shien’s identity, their expressions changing slightly.
Especially the mbers of the powerful tribes in Succubus City, their eyes flickering thoughtfully.
Of course, so only cared about the fact that Shien and Shafney were “playing around.”
Like Shajina.
“What’s going on?”
Shajina was completely bewildered and shocked.
She hadn’t expected that Shien, whom she thought would be difficult to even et, let alone enter the Succubus Fortress, was now being “pursued” by the Succubus.
Besides Shajina, Liel also watched this scene, her eyes almost spitting fire.
“I’ve never seen Master Shafney so happy. Damn that Hero…!”
Liel was truly about to be driven mad by jealousy.
Shien didn’t know that at this mont, he had beco the imaginary enemy of countless people and that his identity had been seen through by many.
He only knew that he was about to have a ntal breakdown.
He wasn’t a saint, and being chased by such an enchanting Succubus, hearing her pleasant laughter, and seeing her alluring figure and beautiful face constantly approaching, Shien felt like he was about to be captivated.
He was now filled with the urge to surrender to her, to conquer her, to pin her down, to ravage her, and to savor this unparalleled beauty.
But his rationality told him that as one of the Six Demon Lords, second only to the supre being of the Demon Race, it was impossible for her to truly want to have a fling with him.
Before coming here, Shajina had repeatedly ntioned how many the Succubus had captivated and heartbroken, and that she had never been truly interested in anyone.
Therefore, Shien was certain that if he truly beca one of her conquests, he would be instantly discarded.
Simps would always end up with nothing.
He, Shien, would never beco one of those pathetic admirers used to highlight the Succubus’s charm, becoming a pitiful side character in legends, with people saying, “Long ago, even the fiancé of the Kingdom’s Treasure, a Hero, fell for the Succubus, but she didn’t even spare him a glance.”
Thinking of this, several faces flashed through Shien’s mind.
lika’s…
Diere’s…
Airi’s…
And… Lucy’s…
As these faces of his beloved appeared in his mind, Shien’s heart, struggling to resist the Succubus’s beauty and charm, finally cald down.
Then…
“[Bestowal: Fire].”
Shien suddenly chanted, imbuing the air with the “fire” property.
“Boom!”
A wave of flas erupted, engulfing the teleporting Shafney.
“You…!?”
Shafney, caught off guard, was directly hit by the flas.
Of course, this re magic fla couldn’t harm her.
With a surge of magic power, Shafney extinguished the flas.
But she looked at Shien with surprise and astonishnt.
Shien had actually attacked her.
“What!?”
The demons on the ground were in an uproar.
“Master Shafney!” Liel’s heart trembled, and she instantly erupted with a terrifying aura, about to charge forward and obliterate Shien.
But Shafney reacted first.
An invisible wave emanated from her, instantly silencing everyone.
Shafney looked at Shien with surprise, confusion, and a hint of anger.
“You actually hit ?” she asked, incredulously.
She even looked a little pitiful.
Shien cursed inwardly, his heart calming down.
“Don’t you deserve to be hit?” Shien snorted, “Did you really think I couldn’t see that you were playing with ?”
Shafney blinked.
Indeed, she was playing with him.
Did she really want to seduce him?
She was the Succubus, but she never actively seduced anyone.
People were usually captivated by her at first glance.
Therefore, Shafney didn’t need to seduce anyone; she was naturally adored and admired.
She only did this to Shien because she found him interesting, amused by his reactions, and her interest in him grew.
But Shien had no obligation to play along.
“I don’t care whether you’re interested in because of Airi or because of my identity,” Shien warned, “I just want to say, don’t think you have special privileges just because you’re beautiful. Others might tolerate your whims, but I’m definitely not one of them. If you ignore my feelings and insist on playing with , only caring about your own amusent, then next ti, I won’t just use fire.”
Saying that, Shien placed his hand on the Holy Sword at his waist, using the power of [Outer Manifestation of Heaven’s Decree] to inject a bit of magic power into it, awakening a portion of its sealed power.
A holy fluctuation briefly emanated from Shien, making Shafney’s eyes flicker, and all the demons on the ground felt a chill run down their spines, a montary flash of fear in their hearts.
Not just the demons, but even Liel, who had been clamoring for a fight, tensed up, her expression changing.
Silence descended once again.
Shafney stared at Shien, the amused smile disappearing from her face. However, her gaze beca even more serious.
If before, she saw Shien as an interesting toy, now, she finally saw him as an equal, acknowledging his existence.
“It’s been so long,” Shafney murmured, “I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve been rejected and threatened like this.”
But she wasn’t angry at all.
“It seems there’s a reason why my sisters see you differently.”
Shafney smiled again.
It wasn’t her usual charming and seductive smile, nor her playful and amused smile, but a smile of genuine enjoynt and exhilaration she hadn’t felt in a long ti.
“Alright,” Shafney shrugged her delicate shoulders, “Since you even dared to attack , I’ll give you ninety points.”
With this, the ranking in Shafney’s heart changed.
Airi, her most beloved sister, was still number one.
But number two was no longer Liel, with her asly ten points, but this man she had just t.
This was the first man in history to score ninety points and rank among the top three in Shafney’s heart.
Even Hero Mitra only scored ten points.
If Shafney had t Mitra face to face, the score might have been even lower.
After all, Shafney didn’t think that Hero could ignore her charm. That Hero, so infatuated with Sophie, would likely have fallen for her as well. And Shafney never cared about toys that were too easily obtained.
Shien didn’t know any of this.
He only knew that this woman had finally stopped.
“Phew…”
Shien subconsciously wiped his forehead, as if wiping away nonexistent cold sweat, and let out a sigh of relief.
He had held on. Otherwise, he might have beco the most embarrassing transmigrator in history.
Which transmigrator would beco a woman’s skirt-chaser upon first eting her?
If that happened, Shien would feel ashad of his predecessors.
“Follow ,” Shafney said to Shien, then vanished in a flash.
Seeing this, Shien raised an eyebrow, turned to Shajina below, and said, “I’m leaving. Until we et again.”
Then, Shien also disappeared.
“Master Shafney!” Liel hurriedly followed.
Only a group of demons remained, looking at each other, so feeling lancholic about Shafney’s departure, others with various thoughts in their minds.
“Master…” Shajina also felt a sense of loss.
She wondered if she would ever see him again.
