Chapter 23: Peachy Interlude
update icon Updated at 2025/4/28 10:10:12

I won a jar of honey in a gamble with Thunderbirds, but I didn't really like the taste of soil honey, so I shared it with everyone. Sasa and Leya later scolded me, they were really afraid that I would fall to pieces when the Thunderbird flew up into the sky. I'm also glad that I made it back to the ground alive. I promise I won't do something so adventurous again in the future.

Of course, there are many other fun things in life, like being flirted with by succubus...

Only Sasa and I know about this incident, and we didn't tell Leya about it. After all, no one really lost anything, so let's just consider it as a seasoning in life.

After the succubi reached an agreement with humans, there were indeed many succubi who tried various ways to pursue the young men of Night Fall Town at first. However, no one wants to fall in love with a succubus because it's too embarrassing to talk about such things. It's impossible to explain clearly if they were charmed or really fell in love with these naturally promiscuous monsters. Regardless of the reasons, it has nothing to do with love, and parents would definitely not agree to it.

The succubi retreated and gradually stopped considering harming humans. Although Ned and Pinky still kept in touch, they didn't take it any further. However, there was still some mutual understanding between the succubi and humans.

But as I had learned before, "variants" often appear among the succubi monster group. This is related to the nature of succubi, why would human women transform into succubi? It must be due to some tragic reasons that they willingly fell into depravity. These succubi were full of negative energy even when they were still humans, and their mental states and logical thinking didn't improve after becoming succubi. Let me list a few succubi that I know well: the madwoman in red and black clothes, she's already dead; the fierce and ruthless thief with triangular eyes, she also lost her life gambling with me; Pinky with the ribbons tied on her legs, she looks really neurotic...

Compared to them, Leya's elegant and dignified temperament truly deserves the title of White Queen. However, Leya's succubus power can be quite intimidating. Just like when I was studying language in Night Fall Town during my divorce period, she seduced me in the middle of the night.

This time, the variant is the youngest sister. I heard that she only became a member of the succubus group last year. Her dress is a purple-toned cotton lace dress, which is considered above average among succubi attire. However, this girl has deep purple long hair, which is quite eye-catching. In animations, hair can be colorful, one reason is to highlight the characters, and the other reason is for convenience. Just think about it, instead of drawing three girls with completely different facial features, it's easier to draw three girls with similar facial features but different hair colors and styles.

But in reality, a head of dark purple, shiny hair makes me feel disgusted and uncomfortable. That day, I was really surprised by her unusual hair color, so I took another look at her among the groups of succubi wandering around, just one look, and our eyes met.

What I thought was, "This hair color is really ugly."

What she might have been thinking was, "Wow, that man named Raul is looking at me~"

Then she started trying to communicate with me, like using small notes to tell me that she wanted to meet me in the upstairs room of a bar. At first, I didn't take it seriously, but later I realized that she was a bit of a stalker, probably because I didn't reply to her.

Let's call this succubus "Purple Sister", although she didn't remind me of the Eastern Purple Sister, it's just a reference to her hair color. Facing Purple Sister's advances, it's easy to understand what's happening when you think about it. She is probably around the same age as me, and knows very little about the rules of the succubus group. She must have been deceived by those sisters who have lived for hundreds of years into pursuing a married man like me. Silly girl, if I were interested, those sisters would have made their moves long ago, so how could there be any room for her?

I told my wife about this, but she didn't really care.

"Aren't you worried that your husband will be seduced by the succubus?"

"What? Are you bored with me and want to try something new?"

"That's not it, I just want to ask you how to handle this."

"Just tell Leya directly."

"No, Leya is busy lately..."

"Well, figure it out yourself then."

"Here's the plan: you hide in the place where Leya and I are going to meet, and just scare her a bit."

After thinking for a moment, my wife agreed.

On the day of our date, I had Sasa hide in the closet, while I prepared to confront Leya. At 9:30 pm, the mysterious guest named Ling Qing arrived on the street. I opened the window in the guest room, and Ling Qing swiftly flew towards it, flapping her wings.

But then her wings slammed into the window frame. It's not Ling Qing's fault, Leya would have done the same. The window in the guest room was half the width of the living room window. Quick on my feet, I grabbed her waist just in time to prevent her from falling off the second floor.

However, I didn't have enough strength to lift Ling Qing into the air with just my hands gripping her waist. Her clothes rubbed against my palms as I desperately tried to hold on, and she finally tightly grabbed onto my upper arm. At that moment, I realized how dangerous it was to have my hand around her large and soft chest.

"Fold your wings, quickly!"

"Okay, okay."

Without saying a word, I quickly pulled her into the room. As a succubus known for her graceful movements, it's quite embarrassing that she nearly got her wings caught in the door frame. It couldn't have been anyone else's fault.

"Thank you."

"No problem, have a seat over there. I'll get you some water."

While rubbing the sore spot on her wings, Ling Qing apologized to me. Such a poor novice, lacking the overpowering presence of an experienced succubus. If it were an experienced succubus, they would have taken advantage of any physical contact to gain the upper hand. For example, when I pulled her up just now, she should have naturally nestled in my embrace, stayed for four or five seconds, and then left.

After pouring some lukewarm water, I handed her the glass. Due to the height difference, her cleavage was also on full display. To avoid an awkward situation, I sat next to her on the bed. She had put on makeup, with bright red lips, thick black eyeliner, and slightly curled lashes. Succubi are truly born makeup artists.

Then I noticed that every time she took a sip of water, she kept squinting at me, like she was in a trance.

"What are you looking at?" I waved my hand in front of her eyes.

"Why are you like this!"

"What do you mean, 'like this'?"

"My sisters told me that if I look at you like this, count to ten in my heart, you will kiss me."

Haha, this trick doesn't work on people from Northeast China. If you have a man and a woman staring at each other, it'll only escalate into: What are you looking at? Don't like what you see? I'll fix you up, you want to fight?

Seeing that plan fail, Ling Qing thought for a moment and immediately changed her approach.

"Brother Raul~"

"Hmm..."

"Play with me~"

"Play what?"

"Play the game you men love to play at night~~~"

As she said this, Ling Qing made every effort to appear seductive. Succubi really do have their charm. But I sat with my legs crossed and drooping eyelids, glanced at her momentarily, and absentmindedly replied...

"Oh, play League of Legends."

In an instant, Ling Qing's seductive smile froze on her face.

"What?"

"What's your rank? Diamond? Platinum?"

"What?"

Zi Mei had never heard of League of Legends and didn't understand Chinese words at all, so she could only blindly nod in agreement with me.

"Then let's play, I haven't played in a long time too."

"Alright..."

"There's no computer here, so let's play a live version. I'll be Master Yi, and you'll be Morgana."

"Uh..."

"Alpha Strike!"

"Raul, besides this English... whatever it is, do you like playing anything else?"

"Let me think... We can play Dota."

"Dota?"

"Yeah, it's simple, just like before. I'll be Shadow Fiend, and you'll be Queen of Pain, and we'll go mid lane..."

"Raul, can we not play anymore?"

As I was about to imitate Shadow Fiend's Shadowraze pose, Zi Mei finally gave up on trying to seduce me in this language. Mixing two languages together and fluently speaking them is torture for someone who doesn't understand. Besides, it seemed like she was a bit scared by my Alpha Strike and Shadowraze moves.

I lit up a cigarette and waited quietly for her next move. That line earlier, "play what your men want to play," was definitely taught to her by those old Shadow Fiends.

Zi Mei's final move was to try to take off my clothes, but she clearly hadn't mastered that move.

"What do you think you're doing?!"

"..."

"Oh my god, are you trying to steal my wool coat? Let go of it, do you hear me?!"

"..."

"I bought it for four gold coins! No stealing allowed!"

Zi Mei and I fought over the jacket, although later I heard Zi Mei say that her sisters taught her, "As long as you strip a man naked, they will do whatever you say." But stripping here meant that the man would strip himself, not holding onto my wool coat like she did.

"I'm shooting!"

Zi Mei held onto my jacket and cowered in the corner, while I pointed my gun at her and couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't know exactly what complex emotions she had as she jumped out the window that day, but all I knew was that after she left, my wife opened the closet door with a approving expression. Today, it could be described as a match—an intricate plan by Zi Mei and a clever solution by Raul.

"Phew, that succubus took my coat."

"Just buy another one."

"No, I want to get it back from her tomorrow. But before that, it seems like we haven't stayed in a bar's hotel room for a long time..."

"Ah..."

After closing the window, I roughly pushed Sasa onto the bed, and used my breath on her neck to express my desires.

"When you saw that succubus just now, were you excited?"

"No..."

"Then why are you in such a hurry?"

Sasa started playing dirty, and I couldn't hold back, so I confessed.

"I was excited, I admit."

"Hmph, don't lie to me."

"Well, guess what, did that little succubus steal my heart?"

"If you say so, I'll have to check."

Sasa's nails caused five stinging sensations on my left chest, and the negotiations between tongues made her hold onto my neck even tighter. Throughout the night, we constantly changed our offensive and defensive positions.

As for the wool coat, it was neatly placed on the bar counter in the lobby the next day.
