In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

Lu Mingfei didn't have a good impression of high heels.

In his small town, such imported goods were rare; his mother worked at a research institute and wasn't someone who liked wearing high heels, so although he had seen them in books, he had almost never seen them in real life.

—Oh, strictly speaking, I've seen it once. This time, it was his aunt (I shouldn't call her that now, but Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he didn't even know her real name) who bought it during the summer before he entered junior high school. It cost a few thousand yuan.

But after wearing it all morning, my aunt almost twisted her ankle, so she put it at the very back of the shoe cabinet.

Looking back now, it hasn't been more than a few months, but his life has been completely transformed.

The second time I saw these high heels was in the documents Jing Shu brought back—

In Lu Mingfei's view, it wasn't just a matter of wearing certain shoes; it was an act of cruelty akin to the foot binding practiced during the Qing Dynasty. Its brutality and perversion made Lu Mingfei unwilling to even describe its shape again.

But now, the shape of the high heels worn by this 'succubus paladin' reminded Lu Mingfei of the things in the documents.

"You mean this?" The succubus deftly raised one leg—

She was so tall that by simply raising one leg and bending her knee to her chest, she could stretch that leg out in front of Lu Mingfei, allowing him to examine the goat-hoof-like high heels on her feet.

"It looks scary, but it would be uncomfortable for me to wear normal shoes... Succubi are always digitigrade, and they only put their feet on the ground with the front of their feet. If we put our ankles on the ground like humans, our weight would damage our ankle joints."

"I never expected that you, Master, would be interested in my body structure. Are you some kind of scholar specializing in the ecology of hell?"

As the succubus spoke, she reached out and untied the strap of her shoe, allowing it to slip off her foot—

As she said, the succubus's ankles are too small, while the front of the foot is quite large, which is indeed more suitable for toe walking.

"Uh, actually not." Lu Mingfei wanted her to put the shoes back on, but the succubus grinned mischievously and shoved the shoes into Lu Mingfei's hands, swinging her free leg and gently kicking Lu Mingfei's chest and abdomen, indicating that she wanted him to put them on.

"I just have some reasons why I dislike this style of high heels..."

Lu Mingfei grasped the front of her foot—perhaps because she had worn this style of shoes for many years, it didn't have the softness of a woman's skin, but rather a suppleness like a cat's paw pads.

He subconsciously scratched at her with his fingernails, just like when he played with a cat, which made the succubus shake her head in dissatisfaction.

"—Okay, let's not talk about this."

Lu Mingfei, who had tied the bandages haphazardly, straightened up, preparing to change the subject: "I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?"

"Lilith. Hmm, I know, all succubi say they're called Lilith when they don't want to say their real names, it's like some kind of stereotype—but my real name is Lilith."

Ignoring the messy straps on her feet, the succubus stomped her foot and took a step back, exposing her entire body to Lu Mingfei's view:

She was dressed in golden helmet and armor, with a heavy scripture and a large cross-shaped sword strapped to her waist—a sword that would typically be held by an assistant in a proper combat competition on Earth.

However, in the hands of this succubus paladin, it can be wielded with one hand.

Lu Mingfei was considered tall among thirteen-year-olds—whether on Earth or in St. Marian—but compared to this succubus, he was barely up to her waist.

"Lilith, how tall are you?" Lu Mingfei strained to look up and meet Lilith's gaze. "Are all succubi as tall as you?"

"How could that be? There are different kinds of succubi—some succubi aren't even as tall as you when they're adults, and some are even taller than me." Lilith removed her helmet, revealing loose, curly hair that had been pressed down by it.

"I am about 2.7 meters tall. If it weren't for the paladin training, I might be even taller."

Lu Mingfei nodded in understanding, and then asked the next question: "So, regarding the Paladin's skills, what can you use? Can you use the Holy Slash?"

"Of course." Lilith tried to draw her sword to demonstrate, but Lu Mingfei pressed her down, so she could only explain verbally: "My Holy Slash is actually just a regular Holy Slash. As long as it hits you with my sword, it can be unleashed, and in addition to physical damage, it can also unleash radiant attribute damage."

"This can even be combined with my own succubus racial abilities, allowing me to simultaneously inflict mental damage, charm, or drain magic from enemies."

"Unlike the abilities of the succubus race, the number of times I can use the Holy Slash in a single summon is limited. I can only unleash four ordinary Holy Slashes and two more advanced Holy Slashes."

Lu Mingfei nodded, browsing the webpage while asking, "So, after you've unleashed those six Supreme Slashes, do you have any other methods to kill undead creatures like ghosts and monsters?"

"Ghosts?" Lilith blinked, then chuckled. "The paladin's attacks, brimming with radiant energy, are precisely what counter these kinds of undead creatures—"

"As long as it's not a monster like a 'ghost dragon' or an 'adult dragon lich,' I can kill them all day long."

"Actually, it doesn't need to be a whole day, just one night will do," Lu Mingfei squinted and complained, then raised the next question:

"Do you have that paladin's... Guardian Aura? 'When you and a friendly creature within 10 feet of you make a saving throw, you can add your Charisma modifier to the result of that saving throw'..."

"What's going on?"

"While it certainly exists, this description is a bit too textbook-like—how about I give you a little boost, and you'll be able to feel the difference." Lilith shook her head, ran her fingers through her hair a couple of times, and then walked towards Lu Mingfei.

Ten feet isn't a long distance; it's actually less than three and a half meters. For an ordinary person, this space would certainly be considered quite spacious; but for a behemoth that is 2.7 meters tall, it is actually quite oppressive.

What's more, the dormitory's main light was blocked behind her, and the shadow she cast on the ground looked like a ferocious beast ready to devour Lu Mingfei—

The next moment, a strange fragrance wafted over, which invigorated Lu Mingfei.
