A whip, a secret chamber.
Everything was ready.
Aililan was thinking, ‘How can I conquer a succubus?’
She did not intend to use negotiations or interests to strike a deal with the demon, because these creatures had no credit to speak of whatsoever.
More importantly, the doctrines did not allow it. Any rumors that spread would be a major blow to Aililan’s credibility and reputation.
She walked down the long corridor of the dormitory.
The environment here was not harsh. Aililan did not like damp and dark places, so she would never let her own residence truly turn into something like a hell.
In front of the long, heavy door of the secret chamber, Aililan ordered, “Wait outside. No matter what sounds you hear later, you are not allowed to enter. Do you hear me?”
The Head Maid, Yarandale, said with some hesitation, “But… this concerns your safety.”
Aililan waved her hand. “I will be fine.”
Yarandale looked helpless. “I…”
Aililan frowned. “I am commanding you, not discussing this with you.”
Yarandale bowed. “Yes.”
The Head Maid was already thinking whether she should add several more chains to the succubus starting tomorrow. After all, everything was for the sake of the Saintess’s safety.
*Step, step.*
The sound of footsteps slowly approached.
Located in the deepest part of the chamber, the succubus Ginea slightly raised her head. These footsteps were a bit different from the usual ones. ‘Could it be a new maid?’
During this time, Aililan had been busy dealing with matters regarding the Humans and had no time to spare for this place.
But precisely because of this, the isolation acted like a slow poison, greatly wearing down Ginea’s will.
Who said demons were not afraid of death?
Who would be willing to die if they could live?
Ginea had thought that the best outcome would be a quick death, while the worse outcome would be being tortured to death.
As for her purity being defiled… she was a succubus. Wouldn’t that be a reward for her?
As the figure approached, Ginea’s eyes gradually focused. She then grit her teeth and hissed, “Human Saintess!”
Immediately after, she rushed forward.
*Clang!*
The sound of iron clashing echoed in the cell. It was a chain firmly fixed to the wall, wrapped around Ginea’s neck. It was a Demon-Suppressing Chain that suppressed all the demonic power within Ginea’s body.
The Church lacked many things, but it did not lack tools to deal with demons.
Ginea was restrained by the iron chain and could not move forward an inch. It proved that she was currently no stronger than an ordinary girl.
Ginea roared with her mouth wide open, “Damned Human Saintess, if you have the ability, then kill me!”
Aililan flicked the whip in her hand.
*Snap!*
The whip lashed across Ginea’s body.
The whip was meant to be used for discipline.
“Ah!” Ginea let out a sharp cry.
Then, she met Aililan’s cold mockery. “If you’re so brave, why don’t you just kill yourself?”
Ginea grit her teeth. Her face turned between green and white. ‘Kill myself? I’m still a virgin. If I die now, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?’
“Human… what exactly do you want?”
Aililan reached out and lifted Ginea’s chin, clicking her tongue. “Nothing much. I heard that succubi are all beauties, and I wanted to imprison one. Is there a problem?”
“But, but you are a Saintess.”
“So you even know I’m a Saintess.”
“You, Saintess Aililan, you can’t do this!”
“Then what should I do? Kill you?”
Ginea was speechless. ‘Don’t. Can we please not talk about killing and dying all the time?’
She was a noble succubus, not a lowly creature like a Lesser Demon. Her ultimate destiny was to die in a bed, not to die humiliatingly before she had even tasted anything.
If possible, she hoped to die after being “handled” by Aililan, rather than being killed by Aililan for no reason.
But when the words reached Ginea’s lips, they became: “Humph, then kill me.”
Aililan chuckled softly. “You wish.”
Hearing this, Ginea’s heart instantly settled. She knew she must have made the right gamble. ‘So, as long as I remain stubborn, I’ll be fine?’
“Aililan, don’t let there be a day when I get out. Otherwise, there will be no good end for you.”
“I want to take revenge!”
“I want to let those people who worship you see their precious Saintess being held up by me…”
“I’ll drug you!”
“Make you give birth to a bunch of little succubi!”
Aililan only chuckled and lashed her with the whip once more. “Be quiet.”
Then, she walked to a table in the secret chamber. On it were various jars and bottles, as well as various precious medicinal ingredients that she had ordered the Head Maid and the others to purchase.
The most important among them was a mass of liquid. It was the saliva collected from Ginea’s mouth.
Most of the others were also aphrodisiac-type drugs, which she began to blend using a crude method.
This sight made Ginea’s heart race with fear. She asked in a trembling voice, “What… what are you doing?”
Aililan said indifferently, “As you can see, I am blending a Magical Potion.”
“Why are you blending a Magical Potion?”
“To give to you to eat, of course.”
“Me?” Horror appeared on Ginea’s face. She swallowed her saliva and said, “Are you crazy? You’re not a witch! You’re blending a potion out of thin air? Have you ever studied professional potion-making knowledge? You dare to blend a Magical Potion?”
Aililan shrugged and said in a low voice, “Is it important whether I’ve studied potion-making? I’m not the one eating it anyway.”
Ginea was at a loss for words. She glanced at the Magical Potion on the table again.
Almost all of them were precious materials related to desire. Every single one of them could make an ordinary person lose themselves.
What terrified her the most was that ordinary people had to be extremely careful when touching these drugs, yet Aililan acted as if it were nothing.
In fact, after that night, Aililan had taken control of part of the Authority of Chastity. She no longer feared these things, as she could purify these negative states upon contact.
