62. Lingling
"Sorry for the trouble tonight, Senior Sister."
In the end, it was all a misunderstanding. Luoluo had chosen to box of her own accord, and as outsiders, they couldn't really say much about it.
ng Lian apologized to Xian Yun and Fei Xing, while Shen Ning had already headed off to the Witch House.
"No worries. If you ever need help with a fight in the future, make sure to co find us."
Xian Yun waved her hand with a cheerful grin. Though she hadn't gotten to fight tonight, she had still enjoyed witnessing the drama unfold.
"Mhm, goodbye, Senior Sister."
Though she didn't understand why Xian Yun and Fei Xing were so obsessed with fighting, ng Lian bid them farewell.
Watching the two figures, one tall and one short, walk to the public teleportation anchor and vanish, ng Lian turned and headed back to the dormitory.
Since the entire New Student Area had been moved into the Witch Academy, ng Lian's dormitory remained unchanged: Room 404.
Walking into the dorm, ng Lian flopped onto the soft, large bed, completely satisfied.
This was so comfortable.
After a full day of classes and a trip to the underground arena with Shen Ning, it was already nine in the evening. ng Lian wriggled around on the bed for a while before heading into the bathroom to soak in the tub.
After her bath, she felt refreshed. Since Jiang Jiang had found soone to open a dorm of her own, ng Lian would be sleeping alone tonight, so she slipped on a nightgown and climbed into bed.
Just then, she noticed the pink-covered book she had tossed onto the nightstand. It was the Succubus Cultivation Technique that Bai Wei had given her.
With nothing better to do, ng Lian picked up the book and examined it.
The cover was pink with dark red lines forming a heart shape. It looked positively lewd.
ng Lian tried to open it. Unlike the Sky Mirage True Demon Technique, this one opened easily.
But strangely enough, she could only turn one page. The page she flipped to showed an illustration of a scantily clad succubus.
Curious, ng Lian touched the image. The next mont, she felt her magic power flowing into the picture. The image glowed with pink light, and a figurine-like, palm-sized miniature succubus slowly materialized from the book.
The succubus was no bigger than a hand. Her cherry-blossom-pink hair cascaded like flowing honey down to her ankles, with light particles drifting between the strands like stardust. Curved black horns erged from her fluffy hair, their tips glowing with a purplish-red halo like glass steeped in wine. Her bat wings were as thin as black silk soaked in moonlight, the mbranes revealing faint golden vein-like patterns that folded into a heart shape behind her back.
Her heart-shaped tail was even more slender than her body, its tip hovering with glowing hearts that constantly shifted form, their pink and gilded light swirling within. When ripples ford in her pupils, her pink-diamond eyes released tiny sparkles, and her lashes scattered sweet powder with every blink. On her collarbone, no larger than a fingernail, rested a butterfly-shaped demonic mark. Whenever her wings vibrated at high frequency, the cherry-blossom-colored light chains wrapped around her ankles chid softly.
As her fluffy hair rippled with movent, a skull-shaped silver ornant hidden within peeked in and out of view. Her slightly parted lips revealed pearl-white little fangs, her tongue holding a drop of pink nectar poised to fall. The base of her black wings faded into rose-colored veins, and every ti she spread them, she scattered phosphorescent powder carrying the scent of strawberries, which turned into fleeting peach blossom imprints upon touching skin.
"Are you my master?"
The succubus's pink eyes looked at ng Lian, her expression timid, but when she sensed that ng Lian possessed the Charming Heart Constitution, a flash of delight crossed her gaze.
"Charming Heart Constitution! Hello, I'm Lingling, a Phantom Spirit. From now on, you're my master!"
Phantom Spirit?
Wait, was having a Phantom Spirit in every book so kind of standard feature?
ng Lian thought of Yaoyao. She looked at this Phantom Spirit nuzzling against her fingertip and smiled gently.
"Hello there. I'm ng Lian. I have another Phantom Spirit here too. I wonder if you know her?"
Saying this, ng Lian took out the Sky Mirage True Demon Technique and knocked on the cover.
"Who is it? Can't you see this young lady is sleeping?"
After knocking for quite a while, Yaoyao's figure finally appeared. Her eyes were bleary, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.
"What do you want? If you have questions, ask quickly. This young lady needs to get back to sleep."
Perhaps because she had just woken up, Yaoyao was a bit irritable. She looked at ng Lian, then happened to spot Lingling curiously examining her.
Yaoyao fell silent.
"Aaaaaah! Who is she? ng Lian, I'm asking you, who is she? When did you go behind my back and find another Phantom Spirit?"
Yaoyao flew right up to ng Lian's face, pointing at Lingling. She looked like a betrayed wife, face full of grievance as she demanded answers.
"Well, about that... haha, let explain..."
ng Lian's eyes darted away as guilt crept up on her.
Wait, why should I feel guilty?
"Waaah, I knew you were a player! Waaah, no love left for ."
Yaoyao carried on like a clown. Just then, Lingling spoke up timidly.
"Um, big sister, please don't bla Master. I..."
"Hmph, I thought you couldn't talk since you weren't saying anything."
Hearing Lingling's words, Yaoyao flew over to her and sized her up carefully, then swallowed.
She was just too sultry.
"Ahem. Which faction do you belong to? You should know that ng Lian is a genius of illusion. When it cos to the Path of Illusion, I dare say I'm third, and no one would dare say they're second!"
After all, first place was that petty one. Couldn't afford to offend her, no sir.
"I'm from the Path of Charm. Master has the Charming Heart Constitution, so I might be able to help her."
Though Lingling was a succubus, she was unexpectedly timid. Seeing Yaoyao acting fierce, she imdiately hid in ng Lian's palm, her eyes pitiful, looking utterly heartbreakingly delicate.
"Hah? Charming Heart Constitution? That slutty constitution?"
Yaoyao flew in a circle around ng Lian, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Don't talk about Master like that! Master is the best, she's not slutty at all."
Exactly, I'm not slutty at all.
Lingling's words made ng Lian feel all warm and fuzzy inside. She knew Lingling might be faking it, but it really felt wonderful. She finally understood why those ancient emperors loved their sycophantic ministers so much. The flattery just sounded that good.
"Alright, Yaoyao. Lingling just got here, don't be so an."
"Master is the best~"
Lingling hugged ng Lian's thumb and kissed it, sending tingles through her heart. Then Lingling stuck her tongue out at Yaoyao. Seeing this, Yaoyao fud.
"? an? ng Lian, don't tell you can't see she's a total little green tea bitch. She just wants your magic power!"
"Like you don't."
ng Lian rolled her eyes. As if Yaoyao hadn't asked for magic power the very first day they t.
ng Lian extended her index finger and wiggled it before Lingling. Lingling cheered and absorbed a small amount of magic power.
"Thank you, Master. You're the best~"
Lingling took very little. ng Lian barely felt anything.
anwhile, Yaoyao's eyes had nearly rolled into the back of her head.
"Ew. Thank you, Master."
Yaoyao mimicked her sarcastically, making ng Lian want to laugh.
"If you want to absorb so too, go ahead. Why are you being so passive-aggressive toward Lingling?"
"I don't want any. I already ate my fill yesterday."
Yaoyao flew up to ng Lian's face. "ng Lian, give a straight answer. Are you going to cultivate the Sky Mirage True Demon Technique, or the technique for this Charming Heart Constitution?"
"Master, no matter who you choose, I'll support you."
Lingling chid in sweetly from the side.
"Why do I have to choose?"
ng Lian grinned. "Can't I just have both?"
