Volume 6 Chapter 155
by Golden DragonVolume 6 + Chapter 155: Miss Succubus Gets Counter-Killed Again
After leaving the café, Ella had been following the silver dragon girl the entire time.
Staring at the white-haired figure ahead, she was seething with anger.
Ever since she had completed her apprenticeship under Vear and struck out on her own, she had always been the one pulling the strings over others. Even when outmatched, she always found a way to evade trouble and never ended up on the losing end.
But now, she had fallen into Xia Yi’s clutches time and again, not only losing every time, but also being tormented by that silver dragon with a belly full of tricks.
A succubus being bullied by someone else?
If Vear ever found out, she would undoubtedly mock her own disciple mercilessly.
This was nothing short of an assault on Ella’s pride as a succubus!
No matter what means she had to employ, she absolutely had to reclaim her dignity.
“Even though she’s off duty today, she isn’t wearing her military uniform and is just wandering about aimlessly… she must be up to something she doesn’t want others to know,” the succubus muttered. “I’m going to expose your secret for sure.”
She followed the silver dragon girl from behind, keeping her presence utterly inconspicuous.
In this regard, Ella was a professional.
Whenever she set her sights on a target, she would conduct covert surveillance for several days in advance, observing thoroughly before making her move.
“Hmm? Why does Xia Yi seem a little off today?”
Ella stared at the silver dragon girl’s back, a puzzled expression crossing her face.
“Is the little silver dragon wearing lifts in her shoes? She seems taller than usual, how vain can she be? Is she really that unwilling to accept being a loli…?”
“Hmm?”
The silver dragon girl suddenly stopped in her tracks, as if sensing something, and turned around.
“…!”
Ella reacted instantly, she spun around, turned her back to the silver dragon girl, whipped out a newspaper at lightning speed, and pretended to read it, acting like a complete bystander.
“I feel like someone’s watching me… am I being too paranoid?”
The silver dragon girl’s gaze swept across the passersby, barely lingering on Ella. She merely muttered to herself before continuing on her way.
“Phew, good thing I reacted quickly, or the little silver dragon would have spotted me.”
Ella let out a long breath and tucked the newspaper away.
The silver dragon girl stopped in front of a dessert shop.
“Now what’s she doing? Looking for more food?”
Ella watched the silver dragon girl enter the pastry shop.
She felt tempted to get closer and see what she was up to.
But after just a few steps, a whiff of something, cream cake, wafted into her nostrils.
“Ugh!!!”
Ella’s cream PTSD kicked in. She leaned against the wall and dry-heaved.
Last night, Xia Yi had forced so much cream down her throat that her stomach had swollen up, nearly sickening her to death. She still hadn’t fully recovered.
Now, just the faint scent of that cloying sweetness triggered an involuntary reaction from her body, making her feel utterly unwell.
“That damned little silver dragon, if I can’t even enjoy desserts anymore, I will never let you get away with this!”
Miss Succubus had no way around it. Her body physically recoiled from approaching the dessert shop, so she could only wait outside.
After quite a while, the silver dragon girl emerged, holding a glass cup, a cream tower, an ultra-high-sugar dessert piled high with white cream and strawberries.
Just one glance made Ella dizzy.
“It’s okay, it’s okay… it’s not like I have to eat it.”
She comforted herself and forced herself to endure.
And so, the silver dragon girl strolled down the street, cream tower in hand, eating with a spoon as she walked.
Ella continued tailing her.
They went several blocks like this, and the silver dragon girl didn’t seem to do anything noteworthy, just wandered around.
“What exactly is she trying to do? I don’t get it.”
“Meow, meow, meow!”
A small grey cat darted out of an alley, scurried up to the silver dragon girl’s feet, and rubbed against her.
The silver dragon girl crouched down, seemingly wanting to play with the stray, and reached out a hand.
“Meow~”
The grey cat licked her finger, then dashed back into the alley.
Curious, the silver dragon girl followed.
“Now where’s she going?” Ella frowned. “No, I have to keep up.”
With that thought, Miss Succubus hurried over to the alley, pressed herself against the wall, and cautiously peered inside, but saw no silver dragon girl.
“Did she go deeper into the alley?”
Afraid of losing her target, Ella stepped into the alley.
She rounded the corner, and what appeared before her was…
A dead end?
“What the…?!”
“Meow, meow~”
Startled, Ella heard a cat’s meow from behind her.
She turned around and saw the silver dragon girl, still wearing half a mask, standing at the alley entrance holding the little cat, bathed in light.
“Hello there, sneaky demon. It’s quite rude of you to keep following me.”
Hearing the voice, Ella froze.
That wasn’t Xia Yi’s voice.
“You’re not Xia Yi?!”
“Xia Yi?”
The silver dragon girl laughed, amused by the name.
“So you know about Xia Yi?”
“…”
Ella fell silent.
She had no idea what was going on, why was there a silver dragon in the Maginot Fortress who looked so similar to Xia Yi?
Moreover, she had an extremely bad feeling that this smiling silver dragon was no easy mark.
“Cat got your tongue?” the silver dragon girl asked.
Ella’s mind raced. Though she didn’t know who this person was, she could at least confirm she wasn’t Xia Yi.
First, this was the Mythological Era, no one in this era knew Xia Yi.
The silver dragon before her was a dragon active during the Mythological Era, and she had simply come across Xia Yi’s name in the newspaper alongside her own report.
“Nothing, really, I just mistook you for Xia Yi. You look a bit like her.”
Ella smiled, maintaining a calm exterior as she stepped up to the silver dragon girl, one step at a time.
As she drew closer, she lowered her voice.
“By the way, let me tell you a secret about Xia Yi…”
“About Xia Yi?”
“Yes, you see, her orientation is that of a die-hard lesbian…”
“?”
The silver dragon girl froze, caught off guard.
Seizing that opening, Ella raised her hand and swept it quickly past the silver dragon girl’s face, unleashing her succubus power.
Instant Dream Entry!
The silver dragon girl’s body stiffened, her head drooped, and she released the grey kitten from her arms.
The cat landed on the ground and fell fast asleep.
“Hmph, caught you off guard, didn’t I?”
Ella scoffed.
By diverting her target’s attention in an instant and launching a sneak attack, not many could react in time.
“Now sleep tight.”
Ella intended to slip away while her target slept, but just as she passed by the silver dragon girl, her heart-shaped tail was seized by the Dragon Envoy. Her legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed to her knees.
She was only a frail succubus, before the might of a dragon, she was like an ant, utterly powerless to resist.
“What’s going on? Why didn’t you fall asleep?!”
She was baffled. At such close range, her ambush had clearly succeeded, the target had been defenseless. Under normal circumstances, she should have been sprawled on the ground, snoring away like that grey cat.
