Chapter 67: The Mysterious Statue

In this world, in truth, there are many things.

Whenever you notice the slightest clue, there’s always a trail to follow, and if you look closely, you can deduce the truth.

That day, ever since the Blood Princess smashed through the window and interrupted her and little ‘Qi’s special moment, Gu Wen Yin began investigating the relationship between the two of them.

With only a simple investigation, she discovered that Lin Xue was the captain of the Cangyou Wildcat Team, and recently, a super beautiful girl had joined the Cangyou Wildcat Team.

At first, Gu Wen Yin still harbored a sliver of uncertainty about whether this beautiful girl was actually Su Qi.

But after someone sent her a photo this morning—Su Qi dressed as a girl, entering the Guild alongside the Cangyou Wildcat Team—

It was that very day, in the mall elevator, when she encountered that introverted girl with the same aura as Su Qi, which made her start doubting.

That final shred of uncertainty turned into absolute certainty.

Once she knew that Su Qi was that girl, Gu Wen Yin quickly guessed why Su Qi had been distancing himself from her.

It must be that her little brother Su Qi, afraid that after becoming a little sister, he couldn’t satisfy her Succubus Ability.

Thinking of this, Gu Wen Yin’s heart was torn in knots.

Although little Su Qi had good intentions—breaking up with her for her own happiness—

Still, he disappeared for a whole night and resorted to the cold shoulder against his elder sister.

This was something Gu Wen Yin simply could not accept.

But the most critical issue was, her beloved little brother Su Qi, after awakening his ability, never communicated with her about any of it.

Gu Wen Yin felt it was necessary to have a proper talk with Su Qi.

First, to discuss his—no, her—ability.

Then, to explain that as a Demon Enchantress, she actually didn’t need to rely on boys to satisfy her Succubus Ability.

In recent years, while exploring secret realms, she had also discovered some Meimo Secrets among the Treasures found in various Mysterious Passages—ways for girls to “stick together” to satisfy a Demon Enchantress, which were even more stimulating than what went on between men and women, and without any cooldowns, let alone worrying about the crisis of over-harvesting.

To clear up this misunderstanding as soon as possible and resolve the knot in Su Qi’s gentle, next-door-little-brother heart—

To avoid little Qi falling into the hands of that obviously very charming Blood Princess and ending up in some dog-blood TV drama scenario, Gu Wen Yin, worried that any delay might bring unwanted changes, set out to find Su Qi.

Which led to the events that had just taken place.

“Little Qi, who’s been naughty, your big sister has come to find you.”

Click-clack, click-clack~

Her red-soled black high heels, stained with traces of blood, shimmered with an enchanting light, emanating a mysterious allure.

Each step on the icy floor rang out with crisp, cheerful echoes.

As Wen Yin-jie’s neighbor, it was Su Qi’s first time seeing her dressed in anything other than overly conservative clothes—and also the first time witnessing her in combat.

Su Qi’s heart thudded uncontrollably.

There was excitement from surviving a brush with death, there was awe at Wen Yin-jie’s new look, but above all, there was nervousness.

Because right now, even though Wen Yin-jie was as gentle as ever, from her words, “little Qi who’s been naughty,” and the smile in her phoenix eyes that didn’t reach their depths—

Su Qi instinctively sensed: Wen Yin-jie was angry. And not just a little angry—she was very angry.

Besides worrying about Wen Yin-jie’s anger, Su Qi’s nerves were taut for another reason: he knew that, right now, he was in his Su Wife form.

[Wasn’t this completely exposing myself to my secret crush, Wen Yin-jie?]

So, what should he say to explain himself to Wen Yin-jie now?

But before Su Qi could think up an excuse, his Wen Yin-jie had already walked up beside him.

Looking at her in an evening gown, radiant as a movie star.

Looking at those slender legs wrapped in black stockings, that waist with two perfectly shaped curves too slender to hold, and that breathtakingly beautiful, unadorned face exuding endless allure and charm.

Su Qi raised his little head, instinctively wanting to say something.

But, feeling guilty, he opened his mouth and no words came out, only a string of meaningless syllables: “Ah nuh bah ah bah~”

As the atmosphere grew awkward, Big Mountain, the mediator of the Cangyou Wildcat Team, who had just been rescued, spoke up, hoping to ease the tension.

“This beautiful lady, thank you for coming to help us. In a bit, we can split the spiritual item from this passage together.”

Gu Wen Yin, however, ignored Big Mountain completely.

She didn’t respond, not even sparing him a glance, instead continuing to scrutinize Su Qi and changing the subject.

“Little Qi, why don’t you tell me where that mark on your neck came from?”

Wen Yin-jie’s mature, melodious voice was extremely captivating, and the person speaking was dazzlingly beautiful.

But at that moment, everyone from the Cangyou Wildcat Team present, even the Saint Ash Rabbit nestled in Su Qi’s arms, squirmed uneasily, feeling the flames of Gu Wen Yin’s anger.

“Um… Wen Yin-jie, let me explain. Just now, it was a life-or-death situation. If Lin Xue-jie hadn’t replenished her stamina to go kill the monster, we all could have died. It was really unavoidable.”

Listening to Su Qi’s shaky explanation and guilty tone, it was clear how much he cared about the Demon Enchantress big sister.

Standing beside Su Qi, An Xiaoling’s feelings were complicated.

Although the Demon Enchantress big sister had just saved the Cangyou Wildcat Team, and she should feel grateful—

But the situation was obvious: this big sister clearly liked Su Qi a lot, and Su Qi liked her too.

Emmm… First Lin Xue as a rival comrade, now this Demon Enchantress big sister appears from nowhere—she couldn’t help but feel that her competitors were piling up!

Just as An Xiaoling was stewing, Lin Xue, having tidied her torn clothes, descended from the sky.

She stood in front of Su Qi, blocking Wen Yin-jie’s gaze.

“What Su Qi just said was right. It really was an emergency, you shouldn’t blame him—it’s my fault as the captain.”

As she spoke, seeing Su Qi still sitting on the cold ground, Lin Xue instinctively reached out to help him up.

But her hand had barely extended halfway when—

Slap~

A crisp sound rang out as Wen Yin-jie smacked her hand aside.

“Heh, since when does my little Qi need you to help him up? Little Qi, who do you want to help you stand?”

With Wen Yin-jie’s move, at that moment, the tension between her and Lin Xue became palpable—just like the last time at Su Qi’s house.

A formless sense of confrontation played out again. Instantly, the atmosphere became suffocating, and the area fell silent as death.

Only the magical torches in the hall burned with crackling pops.

The three male members of the Cangyou Wildcat Team, upon seeing their savior was Gu Wen Yin, the Demon Enchantress big sister, had all been excited, hoping for a budding romance—after all, who wouldn’t like a captivating big sister?

But now, seeing Gu Wen Yin stride purposefully toward Su Boss—

And beginning a standoff with Captain Lin Xue,

A formless battlefield between women began to flare, like an asura’s arena.

At that moment, the three men were left utterly baffled.

Normally, sure, Su Boss is a beautiful girl, but aren’t boys usually the ones who like beautiful girls?

Why has the situation become… a contest between females!

But feeling the oppressive atmosphere grow heavier, led by Big Mountain, the three men wisely realized this wasn’t their fight, and decisively slipped away.

“Uh, you all keep talking, we’ll go clean up the battlefield.”

With that, the three men headed for the remains of Hollmond, whose skull had been crushed.

Su Qi didn’t even notice her three male teammates leaving.

Right now, seeing the two beautiful girls standing on either side, each eyeing her warily, Su Qi felt like crying but had no tears.

So, what should she do now?

If she chose Wen Yin-jie, wouldn’t all the cold shoulder earlier be for nothing?

But if she didn’t choose Wen Yin-jie, she felt it would break Wen Yin-jie’s heart—which would be a disaster.

Maybe… just sit on the ground for a while longer?

Or perhaps do something to change the subject?

While Su Qi was lost in a swirl of anxiety and thoughts—

“Hey, what’s this? A statue, or a spiritual item!” As the three men reached Hollmond’s corpse and absentmindedly poked around, Brother Hao let out a startled shout that echoed through the third underground floor.

Then, a real Statue was yanked, blood and all, out of Hollmond’s body by Big Mountain.

It was a pitch-black female Statue.

Though colorless, her shapely curves and slightly bent, alluring pose exuded a nameless, captivating allure at just a glance.

Drawn by the noise, Su Qi looked over at the Statue.

With just one look, Su Qi froze.

That Statue… why did it look so familiar? Hadn’t she seen it somewhere before?

While Su Qi pondered, the alluring female Statue, as soon as the male trio propped it upright, began to radiate a warm, gentle white light.

Seeing this magical sight, even Lin Xue and Gu Wen Yin paused their standoff to look at the Statue.

But the white light lasted only a second.

The next moment, the scene changed abruptly, and the light turned into mysterious ripples, just like the Guild’s Teleportation Array.

The three men closest to the Statue clearly hadn’t expected this development.

“What the heck!”

“What the heck!”

“What the heck!”

In an instant, they were pulled in by the ripples, and, with identical shouts, disappeared into the Teleportation Array produced by the Statue.

Witnessing this, Su Qi’s eyes widened.

Was this a trap of a Teleportation Array?

But in the very next second, something even more shocking happened—

While sitting on the ground, Su Qi felt a nameless force pulling at her.

Like being sucked by a vacuum cleaner, her whole body started drifting toward the Teleportation Array~~~

While, curiously, the little creature in her arms wasn’t affected at all.

Seeing Su Qi being dragged away, Lin Xue and An Xiaoling beside her immediately reached out to grab her waist.

With the situation spiraling out of control, even Gu Wen Yin stopped worrying about the earlier confrontation.

She transformed her black silk stockings into a long whip, gently binding Su Qi’s legs and pulling her back, trying to stop her from entering the Statue.

But even with all three of them using their full strength, they still couldn’t resist the formless power of the Teleportation Array within the Statue.

As Su Qi was pulled ever closer to that overwhelmingly alluring Statue, she finally remembered why it looked so familiar.

Because she’d once seen a painting of such a Statue in her father Su Yuangu’s room.

This Statue—wasn’t it the Teleportation point of the Demon Enchantress clan, created to lure male prey?!

Realizing this, Su Qi couldn’t help but feel on the verge of tears.

Uuu… I just didn’t want to face an asura’s arena.

But I don’t want to become nourishment for the Demon Enchantress either!!!!!!
