Chapter 377 The Succubus Yearning for Love (Please Subscribe)
"Flora, are you still having that foolish dream?"

In the rising mist of the sulfur lake, the succubus Lilith used the tip of her tail to pick up a cluster of pale blue flames and played with them between her fingers.

The scalding lava flowed slowly across the ground, casting a crimson hue over her eyes.

She smiled slightly, crushed the flame in her hand, and turned her lustful eyes to look at the figure sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff in the distance.

"..."

The petite figure ignored her approach, head bowed, silently perusing the ancient texts in her hands.

The book was old and worn; it wasn't a magic book, but just an ordinary mortal book with no special value.

But it was still treated with care, handled like a precious treasure in the hands of that petite figure.

Because it is a book that is extremely rare in the abyss, a book that describes the customs and culture of the mortal world.

Lilith glanced at the book and curled her lip in disdain.

"Tsk."

She sat down next to Flora, turned her head to look at Flora, and asked teasingly, "Don't tell me you're still dreaming of running away from here?"

After Lilith sat down next to her, Flora finally looked up at her and hummed in response.

"Well, that's exactly what I planned."

Then, she looked away, continued reading, and said calmly, "And this is not a fantasy."

laugh!
Lilith scoffed at this, slamming her hand on the tome and sneer, "This isn't fantasy? This is fantasy!"

"You don't still think that demons like you and me can get any fair treatment in the mortal world, do you?"

After mentioning the word "fairness," Lilith's disdain deepened. She curled her lip, looked at Flora's calm expression, and said sarcastically, "What's with that expression? Did I say something wrong?"

"If this can't be considered a fantasy, then what can?"

"Our little fledgling is still so innocent, forgetting its own identity, still yearning for 'love,' hehe~"

If Lilith's expression showed only disdain when "fairness" was mentioned, then when the word "love" was mentioned, her expression was filled with nothing but disgust.

I despise it.

It felt like a physiological aversion, and I got goosebumps all over my body.

Flora's reaction to these words was completely different from Lilith's; she remained calm and shook her head slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

She neither acknowledged nor denied Lilith's sarcasm.

Flora didn't want to argue about it; the two of them had already had countless similar conversations.

Since neither side can convince the other, arguing further will only lead to unnecessary arguments and is pointless.

So she ignored it, intending to simply overlook this sensitive topic.

But it was precisely this nonchalant expression that provoked Lilith even more, making her even more upset.

"Ah!"

Lilith scoffed and mocked, "Don't you find it ridiculous? You, a succubus, are actually craving [love]."

Do you think this word fits us?

Succubus and Love?

Ah!
The tall succubus sneered, sounding rather disappointed, and said, "You don't actually believe those stories in those books, do you?"

"Those romance novels? Even with huge differences in social status, they'll eventually overcome societal barriers and be together? Pshaw!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Flora, you need to understand your place! You're nothing but a fallen succubus, not some holy nun!"

They are succubi.

He is a depraved demon feared and loathed by countless people.

"Do you really think anyone would ignore your identity? Wouldn't treat you like a succubus?"

“Impossible! There’s absolutely no such person.” Lilith said decisively.

That kind of person doesn't exist.

"Even if you can express your thoughts, prove yourself, and convince them that you are different from other succubi, it won't change anything."

"Believe me, in their eyes, you're nothing more than an easy toy, a convenient way for them to vent their desires!"

What kind of treatment would a succubus who longs for love receive?

It's not hard to imagine.

To mortals, succubi are terrifying beings who can take their lives.

But for true powerhouses, succubi are not worth mentioning; they are merely convenient and useful playthings—and most succubi enjoy the process.

Whether in the abyss or in the tower of a powerful mage, they are all kept playthings.

When succubi plunder the weak, they are simultaneously exploited by the strong.

This is the fate of succubi.

"Because no one will trust you; they would never believe a devil!"

"They will only summon paladins and use every means to drive away and destroy you, this heretical demon!"

Lilith continued to attack, muttering incessantly, "You'll only keep getting hurt and toyed with!"

"Then, only at that moment will you finally understand that everything I said was true!"

……

After Lilith had been talking for a long time, Flora finally reacted—the last glimmer of expectation hidden deep in her eyes gradually faded away.

"...Lilith."

The calm words made Lilith, who was still outputting damage, stop.

Flora closed the book and put it aside, looking at Lilith with disappointment in her eyes, and said softly:
“I originally thought that the other sisters were foolish, but I felt that you might understand my thoughts.”

As two extremely rare exceptions among the succubi who loved knowledge, Flora once regarded Lilith as a close friend and companion.

But later, she realized she was wrong.

Aside from some minor similarities, the two women are completely different in most respects.

It could even be said to be the complete opposite.

Lilith is a product of evil and chaos, no different from other succubi.

Lilith is a typical succubus; she craves to release her desires on others.

At the same time, she also enjoys being used as a outlet for people's venting and relishes the process.

Flora thought she had met a friend, but in the end she found that she was still very different from Lilith.

Flora remained alone.

"I once had high hopes for you, but now it seems that it was just wishful thinking on my part."

Flora looked at Lilith with regret and shook her head, saying, "You're no different from them."

Snapped!
Lilith's tail lashed out and struck the ground hard, creating a crater like an iron whip.

"Flora! You're no different from us!"

Facing Flora's regretful gaze, Lilith did not back down. She decisively retaliated, mocking, "We are all creations of the Abyss. How noble can you be?"

What makes you different?

Aren't we all succubi?

“You’re right, I’m a succubus too. I’m not exactly noble, but unlike you, I at least know what I want,” Flora replied calmly.

Unfortunately, this explanation failed to convince Lilith.

"What have you gained? Is it still what you call 'love'?"

The alluring succubus couldn't help but burst into laughter, retorting, "Do you really think anyone could truly fall in love with you?"

"Besides, the 'love' you speak of is nothing but a deception!"

She did not agree with Flora's views, and even despised them.

"I can make any man fall in love with me with just a snap of my fingers, make him obsessed with my beauty, and make him completely intoxicated by me."

"I can bewitch him, make him give up everything for me—money, dignity, even his life!" "But can that be considered love?"

"I don't love him. In my eyes, he's just a toy that I can easily manipulate."

"And what he fell in love with was nothing more than my body and appearance."

"All I did was amplify their repressed desires and give them a chance to vent."

"He simply succumbed to desire!"

Lilith opened her arms, letting her charm radiate outwards, which eventually transformed into a pink wave of energy that spread outwards.

"And what I can do, you can do too!"

This is the succubus's innate ability—bewitching aura.

Such powerful spiritual energy can be compared to the most potent aphrodisiac; even without inhaling it, mere contact will arouse the greatest desires within one's heart.

Without sufficient willpower, mortals will quickly succumb to this corrupting spiritual energy and become its slaves.

Lilith gazed at Flora and slowly asked, "Is this the love you crave?"

Is this the kind of love you've been hoping for?
After being attacked for so long, the silent Flora finally responded.

"……no."

She shook her head and said calmly, "The love I crave is not as superficial as you describe."

"What I've never longed for is love."

Or rather, it's not just about love.

But Flora didn't explain much to Lilith.

They won't understand anyway, so there's no need to explain anything further.

"I hope someone can fall in love with me, and I also hope I can fall in love with someone else."

"I don't just crave the love of others; what I really want is for others to receive my love."

Rather than being loved by others because of her charm, Flora would rather resist this chaotic instinct and have the ability to love others.

After saying that, Flora hesitated for a moment and added, "Moreover, there will always be someone who can resist this corrupting aura and not fall in love with the real me because of my eerie charm."

After hearing Flora's response, Lilith frowned, stopped mocking her, and asked with a strange expression, "Do you really think someone like that exists?"

Flora nodded.

"It must exist."

She took a deep breath and said calmly but firmly, "Such people will definitely exist."

Flora was somewhat unsure of herself, but she was willing to believe in the possibility.

If an anomaly like myself can be born from endless chaos, then there must exist in this world someone who can ignore my corrupt charm.

She will definitely find love.

"..."

Lilith narrowed her eyes and silently looked into Flora's eyes.

Flora didn't flinch, but looked back at her calmly.

The two stared at each other in silence, neither of them speaking.

After a long silence, Lilith broke it first.

"...Aha."

She shook her head, sighed, and asked softly, her voice tinged with sadness, "Have you made up your mind? Are you really going to leave?"

"Ah."

Flora was also in low spirits, but she still nodded firmly.

"I'm leaving here."

"I emerged from the abyss to travel the mortal realm."

Lilith pursed her lips, no longer mocking her naivety, and instead asked, "Will you come back?"

"Maybe yes, maybe no," Flora replied.

They all knew that the future was uncertain.

Perhaps Flora will find her answer after traveling around, and then return home in peace.

Or perhaps, she will encounter danger during her travels and be purified by a paladin who appears from nowhere.

In the end, Lilith silently stepped aside to let Flora pass through to the outside world and tossed her a bag full of earthly treasures.

She did not stop her anymore.

Or perhaps, Lilith had already said everything she wanted to say in her own way.

Flora neither thanked nor apologized, and turned to leave after accepting the money bag.

However, after Flora walked away step by step, Lilith, who remained behind, finally couldn't help but call out, "Flora!"

Flora's ears twitched, but she didn't stop walking.

She has made up her mind and will no longer let other people's words stop her.

"Even though you're very confident!"

"But your childlike, skinny figure—no one will like that!!!"

"They all like big ones!"

Flora: ?

Flora, who had been silent and calm all along, finally reacted, turned around abruptly, and glared at the other person.

"Hahaha!"

Lilith laughed gleefully at Flora's angry glare.

She squeezed her ample bosom, winking and shouting, "Make it even bigger, like mine!!!"

Flora: ! ! ?

"Humph!"

She snorted angrily and gritted her teeth, saying, "Shut up! You bunch of tasteless bastards!!!"

What's so good about being big?

"Even small ones are adorable!!!"

After glaring fiercely at the woman she wasn't sure whether to call a friend or something else, Flora abruptly turned around and stormed off.

In her final moments, Flora turned back to look at Lilith, who remained standing there, and watched as she kicked the tattered book off the cliff.

"..."

In the end, she silently withdrew her gaze.

Flora left.

After that, she chose to flee the abyss alone.

To this day, I have never gone back.

"..."

Flora didn't know why she was thinking about this distant past again.

But it's nothing, it's not the first time anyway.

"Now that I've brought these thoughts back, it seems I'm in a state of confusion again."

In the chaotic dream, she squinted her eyes and pondered.

"So what's next...?"

For some reason, she suddenly thought of a boy.

Will he be there?
