Succubus Aura

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Realizing that the whale not only lacked malice but was even allowing itself to be bound by her Shadow Magic tentacles.

Lin Yue's anger dissipated in an instant.

Regaining her composure, she immediately scanned her surroundings, only to find that the crowd was completely oblivious to what was happening.

It was the domain ability of the Lost Whale.

"Woo-woo."

The whale's mouth was tightly bound, its sapphire-like pupils gazing at her in a pleading manner.

"She seems a bit pitiful, let her go." Chen Xi, enjoying the spectacle, deliberately tried to dissuade her.

Lin Yue, who had already been prepared to release the whale, heard this and secretly intensified her Shadow Magic while retorting fiercely, "She is not pitiful at all!"

She turned back to look at the whale in the water, shaping her shadows into the form of a dagger and aiming it at the creature: "Speak, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Lin Yue secretly unraveled the shadows from its mouth, allowing the little whale to catch its breath.

"It's all because of you!" It stood upright in the water, using its fins to mimic hands on its hips in a human-like gesture.

"Do you have any idea what kind of Legend you are wielding?"

"I suddenly sensed the auras of the Butcher and the Shadow Dweller again, and they both assumed you were one of those lunatics."

Because of its special abilities, it could identify the type of Legend a target was wielding.

The little whale looked at her smugly: "You should be thanking me for not attacking you directly."

"Thank your head!"

Lin Yue retorted, but she chose not to continue the attack.

Both of them had keenly caught onto that specific word in the whale's statement.

"Again?" Lin Yue felt embarrassed to ask, so Chen Xi took the initiative.

"Did you sense auras similar to the Butcher's over at the Silent Sea?"

"Yes!"

The whale stroked its belly, still feeling lingering fear.

"If I hadn't run fast, I would have been turned into grilled shark fin."

"How many were there?" Chen Xi asked with a grave expression.

The Lost Whale pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm, I ran too fast and didn't pay much attention, but there were at least a dozen or so."

A dozen or so members of the Evil Flower organization?

Even if they were just the most ordinary members, it would be more than enough to cause trouble for a small place like Tianhai City.

Not to mention that in a situation where they came prepared, it wasn't impossible for them to deploy Tier 3 Transcendent individuals.

Chen Xi hurriedly drafted a message and sent it to Qiu Ye.

"A dozen?!" Lin Yue exclaimed, "Stinky whale, are you sure you didn't count wrong?"

This number was truly exaggerated.

"Anyway, that's how it is. You two better pray for yourselves; I'm off."

After the Lost Whale finished speaking, its body gradually became transparent, finally melting into the water.

Without trying to stop it, Chen Xi replied to the message while explaining the progress to Lin Yue: "Qiu Ye said they received it and have already requested reinforcements from the Countermeasure Bureau of other cities."

Lin Yue looked at her with a worried expression: "What should we do?"

With the matter of Wu Xin still unresolved, the two of them could only remain in Tianhai City like earthbound spirits.

Chen Xi comforted her: "Relax, the typhoon is coming tomorrow night."

"After we deal with Wu Xin, we'll just take things one step at a time."

Hearing this, the anxiety on Lin Yue's face vanished in an instant: "Then are we still going to see the movie?"

The blonde girl finished speaking and looked at her expectantly.

Good grief, so this is what she was waiting for.

Chen Xi said helplessly: "Yes, yes, we'll go, alright?"

Lin Yue pushed her impatiently: "Then let's go back to your place first."

"Why?" The girl asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's a secret." Lin Yue made a mysterious 'shh' gesture.

Chen Xi's home.

The black-haired girl lay on the bed, her right hand hanging limply over her forehead. Beside her, Lin Yue was excitedly picking out something.

"The secret you mentioned is making me wear a dress?"

"Ah, yes, is that not allowed?" Lin Yue leaned over, holding a long dress against Chen Xi's body to measure it.

"I don't like wearing skirts." Chen Xi didn't even glance at her, turning her body away to pretend she was playing on her phone.

Seeing her try to escape, Lin Yue walked to the other side and continued comparing the styles.

"Liar. If you really didn't like skirts, how could you have bought so many different styles?" Her tone was certain.

"They were all bought by someone else."

That single sentence from Chen Xi instantly ignited a train of thought in Lin Yue's mind.

"Someone else?" She murmured to herself, chewing on the word.

"Who is it? A friend from your past?"

Lin Yue didn't know why she was acting this way.

Even if she counted all their past reincarnations combined, she and Chen Xi had only known each other for a few days.

Even accounting for the life-and-death situations they had shared, it was impossible for her to have such burning, overflowing emotions for her.

Like an intelligent lifeform with a severed neural port, Lin Yue, standing from a third-person perspective, finally began to notice the clues.

The blonde girl's entire body was nearly collapsing onto the bed; she lowered her head, locking eyes with Chen Xi.

"Did you... use some kind of charm on me?"

Chen Xi did not dodge her gaze, responding in a low voice: "Yes."

Another day ruined by the Panel Info, she sighed secretly in her heart.

Just like the Rain Lord's Aquatic Affinity, the abilities of a Flawless Succubus were not written on the Panel Info until they were fully awakened.

The Succubus Aura was the culprit behind everything that had transpired.

She had only discovered this aura after realizing something was wrong when Qiu Ye stared at her at the hotpot restaurant that day.

Chen Xi's aura was different from that of an ordinary succubus; its effect was to significantly amplify the target's feelings toward her.

The prerequisite for this ability to take effect was extremely harsh—it required her to have a favorable impression of the target, and for the target to simultaneously have a favorable impression of her.

Because of these restrictions, the degree of amplification far exceeded that of an ordinary succubus.

On top of that, this godforsaken aura was a blessing-type ability; the damn thing acted like parents pressuring their child to marry, urging her to find her true love.

Even if Chen Xi tried to deliberately control her power before her talent had fully awakened, a little bit would inevitably leak out.

This led to...

"So, does Xiao Xi like me? Otherwise, why would you use a charm on me?" Lin Yue's eyes were hazy.

After all that friction, the big golden retriever was already completely head over heels.
