CG Collection × Succubus

After giving it a rough look-over, Chen Xi finally gained a preliminary understanding of this so-called CG Collection.

So this was her ability. It had simply taken the form of an Ability Panel that would let her understand it as quickly as possible.

[Name: Chen Xi]

[Race: Flawless Succubus]

[Rank: None]

[Held Legend: "Person in the Play"]

[Person in the Play (Special): When interacting with others, CGs of varying quality are generated. The higher the other party's status in the world, the greater the probability of a successful evaluation.]

[If no CG is generated during an evaluation, that evaluation will be converted into Wish Power to empower the next CG generated. Current Wish Power Charge: 0%]

[Flawless Succubus (Zero Rank)]

[Held Ability: Flawless]

[Flawless: Select targets who sincerely love one another to activate a Series Talent Ability and increase Legend Degree.]

[Currently Unlocked CG: Clumsy Performance of a Naive Succubus]

"...A succubus?" The girl muttered quietly as she stared at the two words after her race.

Chen Xi checked several times before finally realizing something was wrong.

Becoming a girl was one thing, but why had she become a succubus too?!

However, that resistance lasted only three seconds before vanishing under Chen Xi's self-hypnosis.

A life she got for free was good enough.

Becoming a succubus was still better than dying at Da Yun's hands.

She had always been a pragmatist.

And then there was the ability, Person in the Play.

Instinctively, she felt that the CGs she collected would not disappear when Lin Yue regressed through time.

That only further strengthened Chen Xi's original plan—to shamelessly stick by Lin Yue's side.

Who could possibly hold a higher status in the world than the protagonist?

As long as she collected enough CGs, she would be invincible.

The girl rummaged through the cabinets and pulled out a yellowed notebook.

Sitting on a wooden dining chair, Chen Xi began to write.

[September 1: What should I do?]

[September 3: To survive (messy strike-through marks)]

[September 5: Which person was it? I can't remember.]

[September 10: Things have been much more stable lately. She has rarely assigned me any tasks.]

[September 14: Kill Lin Yue.]

That was right, she was writing a diary.

Who normal even wrote diaries? She was writing it for Lin Yue to see.

Whenever she finished a new page, Chen Xi deliberately waited for the ink to dry completely before turning it.

As long as it piqued Lin Yue's interest later, Chen Xi was absolutely certain that Lin Yue would search her room after she died.

As for how to arouse her interest, thankfully, Chen Xi had just finished reading the third chapter of the manga before transmigrating.

In the original story, Lin Yue would deliberately remain in the teaching building until midnight three days later in order to obtain the Legend, Shadow Dweller.

At that time, she would be attacked by a Stitched Monster and meet her second death.

What Chen Xi needed to do was take that blow in her place, then die before her eyes... unwillingly.

Chen Xi's eyes gleamed with insight.

As long as she established her place in Lin Yue's heart, even if she got herself killed fooling around in the future, Lin Yue would cover for her.

With a trace of anticipation in her heart, she stuffed the notebook back into the wooden desk drawer.

Once that was settled, all that remained was the matter of her female body.

Chen Xi walked into the bedroom and opened the wooden wardrobe.

It was filled entirely with dresses of all kinds, with only two or three pairs of trousers tucked off to one side.

After changing, the girl slowly walked over to the full-length mirror.

Dressed in a white T-shirt and black pants, Chen Xi had shoulder-length black hair and a clean, sharp aura. She looked remarkably dashing.

"That feels right."

After changing back into neutral clothing, that strange discomfort finally eased considerably.

"No." Chen Xi studied the face in the mirror again and only then realized that her appearance differed somewhat from Chen Xi in the manga.

If the original Chen Xi had looked like an obviously sinister, minor villain at a glance, then her current self was more like an expressionless girl.

Looking at those familiar brows and eyes, Chen Xi suddenly understood. Wasn't this just the gender-swapped version of herself?

"Huh?!"

She realized the severity of the situation.

Forget it... Chen Xi cast aside the urge to investigate further.

What mattered most now was trying to survive in this world first.

No matter how reluctant she was, her gaze still shifted toward the words "succubus."

Following the feeling in her heart, Chen Xi released the suppressed part of herself.

A pair of Black Shiny Ram Horns emerged beside her head. As something stirred at the base of her spine, fabric tore with a ripping sound, and a Heart-Shaped Tail Tip swayed contentedly.

She instantly understood why Chen Xi had always worn skirts.

Having to poke a hole in her pants every time she transformed would indeed be unbearable.

[Flawless Succubus: A one-of-a-kind Aberrant, no longer bound by the flames of desire. Once a target is chosen, she must spend the rest of her life with them. Her overall strength far surpasses that of ordinary succubi.]

After reading the race description, Chen Xi's expression instead calmed down.

If she had really become the kind of succubus who would suffer unbearably without sex, then she...

A knock on the door interrupted Chen Xi's thoughts.

"Chen Xi, are you there?" Lin Yue's pleasant, bell-like voice came from outside.

What the hell? Chen Xi jumped in fright, and her body trembled sharply in front of the mirror.

She had indeed intended to make Lin Yue approach her first, but wasn't this far too efficient?

Chen Xi peered through the peephole and clearly saw Lin Yue standing outside.

Golden wavy hair spilled down the girl's back. She wore a blue-and-white dress, her brows tightly furrowed as her eyes occasionally drifted toward the door.

Lin Yue paced outside while Chen Xi considered her options inside.

Should she pretend to be dead?

No... Lin Yue might have followed her here...

After pondering for a moment, Chen Xi still opened the security door.

"What is it?"

She asked softly, pretending nothing was wrong.

Lin Yue forced herself to remain calm and suppressed her fear of death. "Chen Xi, didn't you say earlier that you wanted to join the Dance Activity? I wanted to talk to you about it."

"Do you mind if I come in?" She tilted her head and swept her eyes over the room.

Because Chen Xi was blocking the doorway, Lin Yue could only get a vague look inside.

"I mind." Chen Xi answered concisely. Without waiting for Lin Yue's response, she slammed the door shut.

What a joke. If she actually let Lin Yue in, all her preparations would be ruined.

The less contact she had with Lin Yue, the stronger Lin Yue's desire to investigate would become when Chen Xi died in front of her.

"Chen Xi!" Lin Yue knocked again. Seeing that Chen Xi did not respond, she could only give up for now and head down the stairs.

Having dealt with that nuisance, Chen Xi finally let out a breath of relief and went back to studying how to wear pants without her tail tearing through them.

"Was this written for me?"

An ethereal, pleasant female voice sounded beside the desk. Chen Xi abruptly turned her head to the right.

The young woman had pale skin, and snow-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Her magnificent crimson formal gown fluttered in the wind.

In her hands was the diary Chen Xi had just locked inside the drawer.

"Mm... What should I do?"

Noticing Chen Xi's gaze, the woman's lips curled into a faint smile.

"I never expected that beneath your cold exterior, little Xi, you had such abundant emotions after all~"

Chen Xi stood frozen. Seeing the woman's relaxed demeanor, her instincts gave her only one response—

Danger
