Volume 4 Chapter 289

Volume 4 + Chapter 289: Punishment Time For The Trashy Succubus

If she could leverage her teacher’s connection, she could survive!

That was Ella’s thought at the moment.

However, Xia Lulu’s answer was something she hadn’t anticipated.

“She and I are enemies.”

“…Huh?”

Ella froze, her brain seemingly crashing.

Wait, what’s going on? Enemies?

The Silver Dragon Queen and Teacher are actually enemies?

She raised her head and looked at Xia Lulu.

At this very moment, a kindly, amiable smile appeared on the silver dragon girl’s face~

Yet, there wasn’t a shred of warmth in that smile, only a chilling, murderous aura.

So… her action just now was… asking for death?

“My, my, isn’t this something! To think this trashy little Succubus is actually Vear’s most important student!” Xia Lulu remarked with feeling. “What a coincidence. Or perhaps… fate’s arrangement?”

Succubus are quite rare among demons, typically entering others’ dreams and feeding on their essence.

Although Succubus are indeed powerful within dreams, any damage suffered in a dream reflects onto their real-world bodies.

Because of this, most Succubuss, for safety’s sake, tend to be relatively low-key in their actions. They usually select a target, plan meticulously, and strike at an opportune time.

However, among Succubus, there exists a rather special figure.

Her name is Vear.

After selecting a target, Vear would grandly announce her intentions, declaring when she would launch her attack, deliberately letting the target prepare in advance. She reveled in attracting attention, even acting under the public eye, and could still succeed. She was practically a legendary figure in the Succubus world.

The most crucial point, her strength was formidable, considered the strongest among Succubus.

“Knowing full well that Xia Yi is the Silver Dragon Princess, my daughter, and still wanting to target her… Any other Succubus would have long since steered clear. Yet you became even more obsessed. Indeed, you truly are Vear’s student. This trait, at least, has been passed down.”

Xia Lulu narrowed her eyes, even showing a flicker of excitement.

“I, I… It’s…”

Ella was drenched in sweat, her entire body soaked.

It’s over. How did I manage to pull off a reverse move?

This was practically storming the front gate!

“Since you are Vear’s most important student, if she were to learn you suddenly vanished from this world, she would be heartbroken to the extreme, “

“N-no, that’s not it!!”

Right in front of Xia Lulu, Ella performed a masterclass in face-changing.

“Vear is just a scumbag, scum, a jerk, a demon through and through!! From the very beginning, I never wanted to learn from her. I was forced!! That old hag saw my talent and cultivated me just to use me as a tool!”

“A tool?”

“Yes! Yes!! Exactly! Strictly speaking, I’m not her student, I’m a victim, a tool!!”

Like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, Ella began her story.

“That old hag always sends me ahead to scout her targets through dreams before she acts, making me pave the way for her! If the target is too strong, she backs off. If the target isn’t strong enough, then she issues her grand announcements. That’s the real secret behind her every success!”

“Oh, I see.”

“Woo woo ah ah ah! I couldn’t take the old hag’s torment anymore, that’s why I ran away! I’ve long wished she’d just drop dead already!”

Ella started wailing, tearfully and bitterly denouncing Vear.

She fabricated a heap of lies, not a single word truthful. Her skill in spinning yarns was practically at its peak.

Cut ties, she had to cut ties decisively!

“Truly Vear’s disciple. Even this utterly trashy nature is identical, full of lies,” Xia Lulu sneered repeatedly. “It seems Vear truly did see you as her student. You haven’t just learned her skills, you’ve absorbed her very essence. That makes you all the more… not to be kept around~”

“What?”

“Goodbye, trashy Succubus. Remember to reflect well on your foolishness in hell!”

Xia Lulu raised her hand, forming an ice sword, and swung it towards Ella’s head.

This was real. No mercy, no intimidation.

Ella was really going to die here.

“Wait!! Silver Dragon Queen, spare me! I’ll do anything!!”

The ice sword halted right above Ella’s head, shaving off a lock of her brown hair. If it had stopped just a moment later, Miss Succubus would have been decapitated.

“…You said you would do anything, correct?”

“Uh, uh… Yes…” 

Ella nodded. She had no other choice.

“Tell me how to find Vear. Reveal all her information and current status.”

“Ah?”

Ella’s eyes widened.

Vear had warned her never to reveal even the slightest bit of information about her to outsiders, nor let anyone find their way to her, or else she would make her regret it!

This was a dilemma! How could she betray her teacher, 

“Silver Dragon Queen, let me tell you how to find the old hag! I guarantee you can absolutely locate her true body and go collect your debt, no problem at all!!”

“Look into my eyes.”

Xia Lulu maintained the Dragon King’s Pressure, locking eyes with Ella.

“O-okay!” Gritting her teeth, Ella looked at Xia Lulu.

Under the Dragon King’s Pressure, even the slightest abnormality in Ella’s mental state, like lying or feeling guilty, would be greatly amplified under such high pressure. Even with training, the fluctuations in her eyes would be captured by Xia Lulu.

This level of extremely fine control was only possible for one who had awakened the Heart of the Dragon King.

Realizing she couldn’t lie, Ella truthfully revealed everything.

“…I see.” Xia Lulu now knew it all.

“I apologize for my earlier actions. I’m sorry, Silver Dragon Queen. I will never target Xia Yi again. Can you let me go now?”

Seizing the moment, Ella quickly begged for mercy and promised, trying to secure her chance at survival.

“……”

Xia Lulu thought for a moment.

Ella’s actions and words warranted death ten thousand times over.

However, considering she did genuinely risk her life to help Xia Yi against the Vampire Ancestor…

“Very well. I’ll spare your life this time.”

“Thank goodness…”

Ella let out a sigh of relief.

“However, without a bit of punishment, you won’t learn your lesson at all.”

Xia Lulu grabbed Ella’s tail, used her dragon strength, and gave it a sharp, hard yank.

Tail, deceased.

“Eeek ah ah ah ah, “

The super-trashy Miss Succubus let out a wail and passed out.

Even if Ella’s tail grows back, from now on, her rear will likely ache at the mere sight of a silver dragon…

……

Xia Lulu opened her eyes and turned to the side.

Xia Yi was leaning against her shoulder, her expression peaceful, having fallen asleep. The source of her nightmare was gone, probably never daring to return.

Seeing this, a slight curve formed at the corner of the Silver Dragon Queen’s mouth. She gently kissed her daughter’s hair, her voice soft.

“Good night, Xia Yi.”
