The ancestor remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly, “Forget it, forget it. Let’s think about plans for the future instead.”
Among all the younger generations she had brought along, Bai Xiaonuo was the one she worried about most.
Because just a month ago, she was still a boy who knew nothing except being somewhat better in academics.
Precisely for this reason, the ancestor hadn’t told her too much, not wanting her to come into contact with the mysterious world so early.
Unexpectedly, things went the opposite way—in less than a month, Bai Xiaonuo had already thrown herself right into the arms of her big sister.
“The future? I’m not sure either, I’ll just enjoy my university life for now,” Bai Xiaonuo stretched lazily. “After all these years of hard work, it’s time to relax.”
Those tough three years of high school—if it weren’t for the teacher’s promise, “You’ll have it easy once you get to university,” who knows how many could have held on.
Bai Xiaonuo had waited three years just for this day.
And as expected, she took leave to skip class on the second day of school, and the teachers didn’t say anything.
Maybe she should take leave tomorrow too.
Four classes tomorrow, only two the day after, then the weekend.
“Xiaonuo, to enjoy yourself, you first have to ensure your own safety. You must have noticed these past two days, the mysterious world is very dangerous.”
The ancestor rambled on about the intricate and complex powers in the mysterious world—secret organizations behind her big sister, various Yao Clan, solo ‘Demons’ like Bai Xiaonuo, and even some undead…
“In a world like this, as a succubus, you’re even more at risk than others.”
“Why?” Bai Xiaonuo tilted her head. “Would someone really capture me to… be that?”
She was just joking, but the ancestor’s jade pendant nodded seriously, as if agreeing.
Bai Xiaonuo was stunned. “Is that for real?!”
“There’s no helping it. Besides your naturally alluring appearance, in recent years, being a succubus has gained certain social attributes. Simply put, you’re rare and valuable—like an SSR in a game. People who have you feel a lot of pride.”
The ancestor spoke slowly, “Aside from that, the succubus traits themselves are useful. Depending on the purity of your bloodline, spring water and coconut milk might have effects.”
“Wait a minute,” Bai Xiaonuo couldn’t help interrupting, “coconut milk?”
“Yes, there will be. Don’t rush.” The ancestor said calmly, “In a month or so, you’ll probably have it… Actually, since you’re older than me, it might come even earlier for you.”
“That’s why I’m even more anxious!”
“Don’t interrupt. Anyway, I think your bloodline is very pure, so there will likely be an effect. How strong it is, I don’t know,” the ancestor asked, “Do you remember that woman from last night?”
Bai Xiaonuo nodded.
Of course she did—that was the first person she met after stepping into the mysterious world, and the situation was extremely dangerous.
The girl often thought that if the woman had been straight, she might already be dead.
Luckily, although her big sister’s legs were long and straight, and her fingers straight too, her waist was thin and soft, bending down easily.
“There was something you didn’t know at the time. I think… it played some role.”
Bai Xiaonuo didn’t know, but the ancestor saw clearly—watching from inside the glass dome, with a nearly god’s-eye view.
She saw clearly that when Bai Xiaonuo cried loudly, a few drops of spring water just splashed onto Ling’s face, sliding down her mouth corner…
Then, the killing aura that had been lingering around and threatening death just vanished.
If the effect of the spring water was this obvious, what about the more potent but shorter-lasting coconut milk?
The ancestor thought carefully, occasionally scanning Bai Xiaonuo up and down.
This seemingly hopeless junior’s bloodline purity was surprisingly high.
For starters, she was afflicted with the “Pride” of the Seven Deadly Sins—the first of them—and now both spring water and coconut milk had strong effects.
Could it be…
The ancestor suddenly thought of a possibility: “Xiaonuo, try sitting here and bring the metal desk lamp on the bedside table over.”
Bai Xiaonuo blinked. “That far? I’m not rubber.”
“Just try, think about making it come over.”
“…Okay.”
Since the ancestor said so, Bai Xiaonuo complied, reaching out toward the bedside, thinking, Come over… huh?
It actually came.
“No doubt! This is the legendary Succubus Emperor Blood!” The ancestor’s jade pendant excitedly jumped up. “You copied that woman’s ability!”
Bai Xiaonuo looked at the metal lamp in her hand, then at the jade pendant, feeling a bit confused. “What’s going on?”
“The legendary Succubus Emperor Blood can copy the special abilities of others during intimacy, but it requires the other party to have a strong fondness for you,” the ancestor’s jade pendant circled in the air a few times before calming down.
“Of course, the strength of the ability depends on your own spiritual power, so right now, you’re still very far from her… but the potential is limitless!”
Bai Xiaonuo was even more puzzled.
“Fondness for me? But I don’t even know her. Could it be… love at first…?”
But it wasn’t long at all.
Could a single encounter really have charmed her into liking me?
That would be too weird…
The ancestor muttered, “Maybe it’s because of that effect.”
Being experienced, she immediately thought it might be because of the spring water’s influence, which helped her big sister.
“Doesn’t matter. Anyway,” Bai Xiaonuo asked, “how do I strengthen my spiritual power?”
“Spiritual power is a very mysterious thing. I don’t really know what to do,” the ancestor descended from midair. “Enduring pain, breaking limits, training in battles… all possible ways.”
Bai Xiaonuo twitched her mouth. “Possible?”
“Yes, I’ve never enhanced spiritual power myself, so I’m only guessing.”
The ancestor finished, then changed the subject, “Rather than that, Xiaonuo, you should first think about how to solve your financial difficulties.”
When Shao You at most covers your meals and lodging, and you still have to attend school.
“There’s nothing to worry about. Didn’t I say? Once I make a few friends, they’ll give me money,” Bai Xiaonuo’s pride returned, puffing out her chest. “That’s called the charm of a cute and beautiful girl.”
The ancestor had a different opinion. “Charm comes from socializing. Given your social and communication skills, I think that’s very difficult.”
Bai Xiaonuo immediately disagreed.
“How could my communication skills be bad? You haven’t seen me communicate before. No, I have to prove it to you.”
She looked toward the wall next door, an idea forming.
“See, my fourth roommate? Even the landlord says she’s hard to approach. But for me, it’s a piece of cake.”
With that, she swung her legs off the bed, put on her little bunny slippers, and headed next door.
