Feeding the Succubus! Xilin-Keep Your Mouth Shut!

"Mm-hmm~"

Liu Mufei hummed with a smile, then changed the subject. "What do you think of those two?"

"I don't know about the one in the mask, but that female knight is strong," Li Hongyou answered seriously.

"I think so too." Liu Mufei nodded slightly. "Do you think there's any chance we could recruit them?"

"I'm not answering that. You'll just dump the troublesome work on me again."

Li Hongyou rolled her eyes. "Remember, I'm not your subordinate. I work for headquarters."

"How cold~ Is this what the young lady of the Li family is like?"

Liu Mufei shook her head, then smiled faintly. "Still, I have to thank you this time, little Red Pomelo~"

"Tch!"

Late that night.

Bai Xuan was fast asleep. Marée Alaira clung tightly to his arm, a sweet smile on her face as she dreamed.

There was no helping it. Until they found somewhere suitable to live, Xilin and Marée Alaira had to share his bed.

Fortunately, Bai Xuan had always been a heavy sleeper.

Even Marée Alaira's occasional nibbles on his arm couldn't wake him.

Just as everyone had fallen asleep, Xilin opened her eyes and slowly sat up. She stroked her stomach and murmured, "I'm so hungry..."

Her cool gaze drifted toward the sleeping Bai Xuan.

Ever since she had signed the Sacred Pact, the Light Pope's whisper had echoed in her ears: "This man~"

"Is your contractor~"

"Now you may eat."

Gulp—

Xilin swallowed without meaning to.

Golden Demon Horns and a heart-shaped tail appeared, while pink hearts glowed in her eyes.

Her magic was exhausted, leaving her unbearably hungry!

She desperately needed a little nourishment!

And her food was—

Xilin rose and quietly climbed onto Bai Xuan's bed.

First she lifted the blanket. Then she parted the swirling clouds and mist, revealing the dawn of Holy Light.

But just as she was about to begin, she hesitated.

Two sides of her struggled fiercely within.

Knight: You can't eat!

Succubus: Eat. You'll starve if you don't!

Knight: No! Absolutely not!

Succubus: It's fine. This won't break your oath! This is a gift meant just for you~

Knight: You can't! With the Pope's help, you've become a real human!

Succubus: But desire is part of being human too. You can't deny your instincts~

Succubus: Come on. This will be your first meal~

Succubus: It's so~ delicious~

Succubus: Besides, this isn't ordinary food! It's been approved by the Pope, so you can enjoy it without worry~

I...

While Xilin wavered, Bai Xuan felt a weight on top of him and slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Xilin sitting on him, he asked in confusion:

"Xilin? What are you..."

"Master."

Xilin looked up at Bai Xuan. Hearts glimmered in her eyes as she said softly, "I... might be a little hungry."

"?"

Bai Xuan froze, then understood at once!

After using up the Life Magic in her Source of Life, Xilin needed to replenish it immediately.

And according to the Sacred Pact's final explanation, if she wanted to replenish her Life Magic without a Life Flower, her contractor would have to step in!

In other words...

Bai Xuan thought it over. As Xilin's summoner, of course he had to take responsibility for feeding her.

After a moment's silence, he answered, "All right."

"Really?"

"Really."

Bai Xuan didn't refuse.

You want my Life Magic?

Then come and take it!

Succubus!

Show me what you've got!

"Thank you."

Xilin smiled faintly, then chanted softly:

"May the Goddess of Light bless your body, so that even after a hundred times, you shall never fall..."

As the final syllable left her lips, a faint golden glow spread over Bai Xuan's body, shining brightest around the dining area.

The light was as warm and brilliant as the rising sun!

Bai Xuan stared for a second.

What's this for?

Don't tell me she means a hundred times?

Are you trying to destroy me?!

Xilin, meanwhile, stared at the dazzling light in surprise. A rare trace of astonishment crossed her cool face.

"So... powerful..."

She reached out to test it with a fingertip and raised an eyebrow.

The light seemed stronger than she had expected. Was the Holy Light supposed to be this dazzling?

But this was her first time seeing Holy Light with her own eyes, and she had never known its power.

None of that mattered. As long as it belonged to Bai Xuan, it was enough.

Thanks to the Sacred Pact, Bai Xuan was the only man who could provide her with Holy Light!

"I'm... starting."

"Mm."

With that, Xilin gently traced the magic pattern on her abdomen. It lit up with a faint golden glow.

Then she bent down and parted her red lips, ready to chant, only to discover to her surprise that the Holy Light was difficult to draw in!

After thinking for a moment, she slowly wrapped her heart-shaped tail around the Holy Light. The magical fluid it secreted made the light smooth, and she bent down to try again.

This time,

she succeeded.

Hiss~

Bai Xuan felt as though he had plunged into an abyss, where a terrifying demon was draining his soul!

He drew a deep breath and looked down.

Xilin had lowered her head and was chanting steadily, without a moment's pause.

Her expression remained as calm as ever, carrying the cool composure of a female knight, yet she was utterly focused on helping the Holy Light bloom!

Especially when she tucked a strand of golden hair behind her ear without once interrupting her chant!

So beautiful~

Faced with that sight, Bai Xuan could only cooperate in silence.

He wanted to hold out a little longer and prove himself.

But for him, the Succubus was far too overpowered!

Even her simple chanting was impossible to withstand!

He was just an ordinary student!

Though perhaps a tiny bit overpowered himself...

Ahem!

Wait!

Oh no!

I've lost!

[Ding!]

[Character (Xilin) quest prerequisite in progress—!]

[Feed Xilin three times (1/3)!]

Huh?

Bai Xuan was surprised. The condition for unlocking Xilin's character quest was feeding her three times?

Once Xilin finished chanting, she gently wiped the corner of her mouth and let Bai Xuan go, looking thoroughly satisfied.

At the same time, the hearts in her eyes quietly faded.

"I'm sorry I woke you so late," she said, sounding a little apologetic.

"It's... it's fine."

Apart from his trembling legs, Bai Xuan was fine...

"Thank you for the meal," Xilin said softly. "Get some rest."

With that, she returned to her covers and drifted back to sleep.

Behind her, however, her Succubus tail swayed gently, as if betraying her delight.

Bai Xuan's gaze had gone a little unfocused, though a lingering gleam remained in his eyes.

The next morning, Bai Xuan woke from his sleep.

Despite sleeping through the night, his legs still felt weak.

The Succubus had left quite an impression on him.

Eighteen years of stored-up sun magic had failed to withstand the Succubus's flames.

Sigh~

Bai Xuan let out a long sigh and turned his head. Xilin was already awake, stretching in the morning light as though nothing had happened the night before.

Then he looked at Marée Alaira, who was sleeping beside him.

The little one was still hugging his arm tightly and giving it gentle nibbles.

She wasn't biting hard. She had merely left a damp patch of drool on his arm.

Not only that, Marée Alaira's chubby dragon tail was wrapped around Bai Xuan's thigh, leaving a faint mark.

Hah—

Bai Xuan exhaled and gave Marée Alaira's plump tail a squeeze, hoping it would help him relax.

It felt surprisingly good. The scales in particular looked hard but were remarkably soft to the touch.

How strange. Why...

Hm?

Just then, Marée Alaira's scales suddenly hardened like gemstones, gleaming coldly.

She slowly opened her eyes.

"Human? What are you doing?"

Marée Alaira rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Bai Xuan curiously.

Then she noticed him holding her tail. A smile appeared on her face. "Do you like my tail?"

She generously held it out to him. "If you like it, you can have all of it!"
