Alien world

Chapter 1770, Question 403: What is our relationship now?
"You are……"

She stared at Annan, and also remembered what happened after Olme found her. But when did a male succubus appear, and he seemed to have a good relationship with the two adults?
"I am Lady Biros's most loyal and reliable subordinate."

Ruth, who always considered himself a commander, asked blankly, "Then who am I?"

Just as Annan was about to speak, the six-armed serpent demon interrupted the conversation between the succubus and the lust demon: "Russ, tell Lady Lilith what you experienced with the ratmen."

Ruth then began to recount what had happened to him after he left Liberty City.

As Annan strained his ears, he observed the expressions of the succubus queen and the six-armed snake demon. Strangely, they showed no reaction.

Has something changed?

Annan already knew Ruth's final fate: she was discovered by the High Priest, and although she revealed her identity immediately, the High Priest still cursed her to become a brown rat.

There's no way around it; this is what the Succubus Queen meant by "the tacit understanding maintained by both sides."

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Ruth's continued existence is both a testament to the High Priest's cruelty and his mercy.

Annan recalled that he had the opportunity to capture the ratman elder, but gave up because of a warning from his intuition: "It evens out. I instinctively killed the ratman elder when I broke through, but I didn't."

"Is that so?" Biros asked.

“I severely injured it, and it lay on the ground begging me to spare it. I thought that since it was an ally and I was unsure of your and Her Majesty's attitude, I let it go this time.”

Ruth looked slightly confused: "How come I remember..."

Annan glared fiercely at Ruth in an instant: "By the way, when I brought the succubus back, she tried to resist—"

“I remember now, it seems like that happened!” Ruth hurriedly interrupted Annan.

The Succubus Queen ignored the little ones' little antics, lazily stretching her alluring waist. Biros understood and let Olme and Ruth leave just in time.

Lilith returned to the obsidian throne, her honeyed voice flowing through the empty hall.

“Byros, I thought you wouldn’t be moved.”

"I do not have."

"No?"

The succubus queen toyed with the tip of her heart-shaped tail, her red lips parting slightly: "When you looked at Olme just right, your breathing quickened by one-tenth, and your heartbeat increased by one-eighth. When he spoke, your breathing slowed by one-thirteenth, and—"

“Because it is special and worth nurturing.” Biros interrupted Lilith, unusually, to stop it from continuing.

"That's enough. Curiosity is the beginning of a story. When you were still a little snake demon, didn't you say you wanted to find a powerful yet pure demon? He at least fulfilled one of those requirements."

The six-armed serpent demon's chest heaved rapidly a few times, then his expression returned to calm: "Do you still doubt him?"

“Alme is just right, though suspicious. She’s definitely not a spy for either the humans or the ratmen,” the succubus queen tossed her tail. “But who knows if she’s a spy sent by another force in the Abyss?”

……

The Succubus Queen returned to the volcano, and Biros left the hall. As usual, she patrolled the camp to make sure no demon guards were fighting or sleeping before returning to the Obsidian House.

As she approached, she saw a thin figure sitting in front of the steps.

"Olme is just right. Is there anything else?"

Biros's tone was slightly cold, as if she was avoiding something.

Annan stood up and said apologetically, "Uh... I don't have a room yet, and I don't want to disturb you and Her Majesty, so I'll just sit here and wait for you to come back."

Gululu...

Annan felt even more embarrassed as his stomach growled in response.

Biros dismissed the guards at the door, swam into the obsidian house, and casually placed the model of Annan on the long table: "After you finish eating, I'll have my men take you to rest." ...

Meanwhile, Ruth returned to his room.

I collapsed heavily onto the stone bed, recalling what happened after the high priest discovered me—it was a long, agonizing nightmare…

After staring blankly for a while, Ruth subconsciously touched his chest and suddenly sprang up.

"Oh no, my prized Annam model!"

Ruth rushed out and ran to the open-air auditorium, where she saw several lesser demons cleaning the ground.

"Where's my model?!" she rushed up and demanded.

What model?

The lesser demon was completely bewildered when the lustful demon grabbed him by the neck: "Give me back my model!"

"Sir, there's no...no, there's no model as you described..."

After interrogating the innocent demons for a long time, even using his innate abilities, Russ finally confirmed that they really hadn't seen anything.

The image of the male succubus suddenly appeared before my eyes. That's right, it must have been him who took it!

Thinking of the male succubus, its image suddenly began to overlap with Annan's figure.

Russ suddenly had some doubts... Olme just happened to be an Annamese!
She's been to Liberty City. Does she really think she can't tell that Olme is just a slight change to Olmedo's name?

Their behavior and conversations with the ratman elders were very similar, and what a coincidence that a male succubus suddenly appeared!

We must tell Lady Biros about this!
Ruth ran toward the obsidian house, her pace slowing as she went. She thought again, if she exposed Annan, wouldn't she be putting him in danger?

But then I thought, if Olme really is an Annan bastard, and I control him, wouldn't he be completely at my mercy?
I... should be more fun than the model!

……

The demon's food consists mainly of large chunks of meat, which are simply grilled until they are charred on the outside. They are still suspicious, but at least they can be eaten.

Biros stood in front of the map, blocking it like a solid wall, while Annan behind her cracked open the bitter, charred outer skin, tore off the chewy meat inside, and put it in his mouth.

It tasted very bland, almost without any spices. Demons don't seem to need salt, which means... the six-armed serpent demon wouldn't taste salty?
Stealing glances at Biros's retreating figure, Annan felt that his relationship with the six-armed serpent demon had taken a big step forward tonight, yet he was also somewhat uncertain.

He looked up and mumbled, "What is our relationship now?"

The six-armed snake demon didn't even turn his head: "Don't talk, keep eating."

Outside the door, Ruth silently turned around.

You're overthinking it. This male succubus is just Lady Biros's lover. How could that Annan bastard be here, let alone become Lady Biros's lover? Haha, I must still be dreaming...

No, it's fucking Annamese stuff!
Besides him, who else could make their boss fall for him!

……

On the other side, Annan, having filled his stomach, looked at the six-armed snake demon still coiled in front of the map and subtly indicated that there was no need to arrange accommodation; he could make do here for the night.

"you can?"

With just one sentence from Biros, Anan left the Obsidian House dejectedly and moved into a cluster of stone houses not far from the Obsidian House, which was considered the core area.

Almost all the residents here are Biros's trusted subordinates and demon overseers.

After being transformed into a succubus, one cannot meditate, but entering the misty space is unaffected; however, Annan dared not do so.
