Chapter Index

    He was pulled into an embrace. The moment their bodies touched, the slightly glowing tail uncontrollably wrapped around the man’s forearm.

    The already dim castle instantly plunged into darkness, leaving only irregular breathing and some rustling movements.

    In the dark, Su Sheng couldn’t see anything. He could only stare hazily at the tail that was swinging back and forth and constantly glowing.

    Desire had completely overtaken his thoughts. The slow, incremental contact felt like drinking poison to quench thirst.

    “Are you not done yet?” The rationality that had been burning in the fire was now completely scorched. Logically, Su Sheng should have been a puppet at this point, but the man’s movements were too slow. Su Sheng asked, unable to bear it any longer.

    “…Apologies.” The Demon King’s equally messy and hurried breathing came from beside his ear.

    Su Sheng was speechless.

    He felt suffocated.

    Then he suddenly remembered that his clothes were indeed covered in many high-level defensive spells.

    But surely this wasn’t something he had to take care of?

    Su Sheng was rarely so stunned by a sudden thought that his limbs went numb.

    A moment later, seeing the Demon King making no progress, he couldn’t help but mock, “Aren’t you the Demon King? Aren’t you the ruler of The Abyss? Aren’t you the last god on this continent?”

    The tail wrapped tighter, and the breathing became more pronounced. His already precarious rationality diminished further.

    The Demon King’s extremely low voice came from his ear, sounding almost wronged upon closer listening: “I don’t want to ruin the current atmosphere.”

    Su Sheng was utterly speechless.

    What could he do? Fine, just treat it like being bitten by a dog.

    He slowly raised his hand and began unbuttoning his clothes, but the darkness was too deep and heavy, and his consciousness wasn’t entirely clear, making it hard to locate the buttons.

    The Demon King tried to guide his hand.

    The instant their skin touched, he nearly lost control of his mind. He snapped, “Get lost.”

    So the Demon King let go, and voices came from his ear: “A little lower,” “A little lower still…”

    Finally, the Demon King slowly embraced him, and he no longer had the strength to think.

    His vision went white, and he could only sway endlessly like a small boat adrift on the ocean.

    When would this end?

    He thought, but his thoughts went no further than that.

    .

    It was impossible to calculate day and night in The Abyss, but there were clocks for keeping time.

    When Su Sheng opened his eyes again, his vision was still blurry. After a moment, it cleared, and his rationality fully returned.

    At the same time, the discomfort in his entire body traveled along his nerves to his brain. Su Sheng didn’t dare move rashly and closed his eyes briefly.

    The memories of becoming a succubus belatedly caught up to him. Su Sheng’s face was terribly grim; every scene made him want to kill someone.

    The ticking of the clock hands sounded. After recovering for a while, Su Sheng moved and realized he was in a room. He glanced at the clock, calculated the time, and found that at least seven or eight days had passed since he was captured in the castle.

    This meant he had likely slept for at least three days.

    Su Sheng slowly touched his lower abdomen. There was a slight discomfort there. But he was alone. Had the Demon King left?

    He struggled to prop himself up. He must have strained something, as the agonizing soreness made him groan involuntarily.

    That single sound drew the Demon King in.

    Lishiel pushed open the door and saw Su Sheng, who had a flushed face, his hand resting on his lower abdomen, leaning against the headboard in contemplation. The hand holding the water cup tightened, and his eyes deepened.

    The corner of his lips curled up subtly.

    Norton was finally his.

    A wave of pleasure surged through his body.

    He suddenly felt that everything before could be disregarded, as long as Norton stayed obediently by his side.

    And he believed that as long as the person remained with him, they would fall in love with him.

    When that happened, he would undo the magic for him, allowing Norton to become the ruler of the continent, including The Abyss. He would grant him supreme glory and power, ensuring Norton never regretted his decision.

    A smile touched his lips. He closed the door quietly, walked over, and asked, “I poured you a cup of water. Would you like some?”

    No response.

    Perhaps he was still angry? He thought. It was true that he had gone too far before, continuing even when Norton was crying and begging him to stop.

    He reached out, intending to embrace Norton, but the other man abruptly avoided him, moving far away, as if Lishiel were a viper. The look of disgust on his face was undisguised.

    Lishiel froze, as if something had shattered. Then, without warning, his heart ached.

    He beckoned to Norton in a deep voice, saying, “Come here.”

    Norton didn’t move, just stared at him coldly.

    How could Lishiel not see what that gaze contained—disgust, revulsion, killing intent, and various other indescribable emotions.

    All of them negative.

    Lishiel lowered his eyes, choosing not to meet that gaze, but he still waved his hand gently toward Norton, saying, “Come here, or you won’t want to know the consequences.”

    The ticking of the clock mixed with the Demon King’s extremely soft voice. Su Sheng thought he shouldn’t have been able to hear it clearly, but he still made out what the Demon King was saying.

    Seven days ago, the Demon King had said that exact phrase, and as a result, he had been bitten by a dog. The taste was indeed unpleasant.

    But so what?

    Was he trying to force him into submission using this method?

    Dream on. Impossible.

    So Su Sheng heard his own voice, cold and devoid of emotion, ring out. Even though he knew it would anger the Demon King, he was completely unafraid: “How ridiculous. It was just one night. What can that change? Surely the great Demon King hasn’t become dependent on me because of it?”

    The cup was crushed with a loud crack. The water mixed with shards splashed onto the floor, some even piercing the Demon King’s hand, but the Demon King seemed completely unaware, tightly clenching his palm.

    The Demon King’s voice was utterly flat, yet it was easy to detect the immense anger buried within. His extremely low tone carried a chill, a bone-chilling coldness: “If that is the case, then Norton, you may leave me.”

    The Demon King looked at him with a half-smile.

    This gave Su Sheng a bad feeling, suggesting that this time, things wouldn’t be so simple.

    But Su Sheng didn’t ask. He simply stared at the Demon King without expression, refusing to show weakness.

    An undeniable silence spread through the room.

    Lishiel lowered the corner of his mouth, casting a meaningful glance at Norton’s abdomen, and said, “But only after three days.”

    With that, Lishiel turned and left the room without hesitation.

    I will make you beg me, Norton.

    You will have no choice but to beg me then.

    .

    During those three days, the Demon King seemed to prevent his escape and contact with others by only sending food and water via magic.

    However, three days was neither long nor short, and it quickly passed.

    On the morning of the fourth day, when he woke up, he found his body had recovered somewhat; the pain was less severe. However, an indescribable, strange hunger filled his entire being.

    He lowered his eyes and touched his lower abdomen, wondering if this was the change brought about by becoming a succubus.

    He knew that succubi fed on their partner’s bodily fluids, but he had visited the Succubus City-State once, and it seemed the succubi there didn’t develop this “hunger” so easily, did they?

    Moreover, the Demon King had been with him for several days straight before…

    Surely it hadn’t been depleted so quickly? Su Sheng frowned in thought, feeling that something was amiss.

    The Demon Horn the Demon King had planted on him, and that ice spike driven into his body…

    What hidden secrets did these things hold?

    Why was he so weak? Could these things actually change his physical constitution?

    He pondered but found no answer. Su Sheng looked out the window in confusion.

    Outside, there were patches of silver-glowing Silver Star Orchids. When the wind blew, the leaves covered the petals, and the silver light flickered between the blue leaves.

    Realizing what he was staring blankly at, Su Sheng turned his head away in disgust.

    After a while, footsteps sounded outside the door. Three days had passed. He wondered what the Demon King meant by “leaving.”

    The door creaked open. The Demon King slowly walked in, stopping by the edge of the bed. He reminded him again, “Think carefully, Norton. Leaving me with your current constitution is a death sentence.”

    Su Sheng looked at the Demon King and sneered, “If I don’t have you, can’t I find someone else?”

    The Demon King’s face instantly darkened. He ground his teeth and said, “Find someone else? You still want to…”

    His voice abruptly cut off, as if he felt he had said too much. The Demon King scoffed and flicked his sleeve: “You want to find someone else? Go ahead and try.”

    In an instant, a magic circle appeared beneath Su Sheng. Before he could see what it was, a strong suction force spread throughout his body from below. A violent dizziness assaulted Su Sheng, making his already uncomfortable body even worse.

    Fortunately, he had recovered for a few days. If the Demon King had used the teleportation array on the first day he woke up, the sensation would have been unimaginable.

    After a flash of white light, his vision gradually returned. Su Sheng looked at the desolate surroundings, then looked up at the sky, finding it still pitch black. He confirmed that the Demon King had thrown him somewhere, but it was still within The Abyss.

    Suddenly, the Demon King’s casual voice came from above: “This is the Succubus City-State now, Norton. I hope you enjoy your time here.”

    “Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. You cannot leave this place. If you do, you will lose your sight and hearing. You wouldn’t want that, would you?”

    Su Sheng understood the Demon King’s intention instantly. This despicable fellow was trying to force him to compromise using such tactics.

    Coldness filled his eyes. After a long pause, he let out a low laugh.

    Even so, what of it?

    He would not compromise. He would not submit.

    Absolutely not.

    Meanwhile, in Spire Castle, a crystal mirror was reflecting Su Sheng’s every move.

    The Demon King stood before it with his hands behind his back, watching everything intently.

    .

    Walking along the road, his lower abdomen rumbled, seemingly dissatisfied with this decision.

    The tail behind him dragged on the ground, rubbing against the gravel. Should he say the tail was too sensitive? He felt both pain and…

    This made him want to retract his tail, at least hide it under his clothes, but the tail swung uncontrollably, as if deliberately opposing him.

    After wrestling with the tail for more than ten minutes, Su Sheng reluctantly gave up.

    Before long, the hunger intensified, even affecting his mind. Fortunately, the surroundings were deserted, so he didn’t need to try to disguise himself.

    Because of the transformation into a succubus, he was more sensitive to the surrounding scents. The newly changed white clothes still carried a faint trace of the Demon King’s scent.

    He stared at the clothes, his eyes struggling.

    A moment later, he uncontrollably crouched down and gently pressed his head against the fabric.

    At the same time, in a place Su Sheng couldn’t perceive, a stream of iridescent purple light flashed in his pale purple eyes.

    It was the induced desire to feed in the newborn succubus.

    .

    In front of the crystal mirror, the Demon King watched the scene with obscured eyes. After a moment, he let out a soft, low laugh.

    Norton’s expression in the mirror was clearly visible. He gently touched the mirror surface, his hand slowly tracing from the other’s eyes down to his lips.

    His fingertip lightly rubbed against the extremely moist lip before he withdrew his hand.

    “How pitiful.”

    The Demon King sighed softly. He was greatly anticipating whether this Saint Son, who consistently refused to bow his head, would remain so aloof when the agonizing onset of the feeding period arrived.
