Chapter 100 The Game of Life

"Ye Wen? Ye Wen! Hey!!"

"Don't just stand there spacing out at a time like this!"

Ye Wen was woken up by someone pushing him. When he opened his eyes, he saw Mu Xingyuan's face very close to his.

Those eyes, as perfect and flawless as the purple moon, gazed at him, pure and burning with passion.

Ye Wen: "————"

He didn't speak.

Seeing that Ye Wen didn't react, Mu Xingyuan continued, "You stayed up late again last night? Wait, I saw your window wasn't even lit—oh, so you were hiding under the covers watching things that minors shouldn't see, huh?"

"Tch, looks like I haven't been squeezing you out enough, giving you the energy to watch that kind of stuff —"

Mu Xingyuan muttered to herself.

Ye Wen turned his head to look at the scene outside Xiang Muxingyuan. They seemed to be on a grassy field in a park, with trees and a lake nearby. Ye Xia was squatting on a tree eating a banana, and two adult men were fishing by the lake.

On the other side of the grass, two adult women were preparing lunch, placing one exquisite dish after another on the tablecloth, creating a warm and beautiful scene.

One of the two women was Mu Xingyuan's mother, and the other—

Ye Wen got up and slowly walked over.

Mu Xingyuan's rambling continued.

"Today is Sunday, a rare day off for both our families to go on a picnic together. Can't you look more alert with those dead fish eyes? Where are you going?"

Ye Wen had already walked up to them.

Just then, the woman with a cool yet gentle appearance looked up, revealing a face similar to Ye Xia's when she remained silent.

She stared at Ye Wen's face for a moment, then asked gently, "What's wrong? You don't seem very energetic."

"Have you been having a bad time lately?"

Ye Wen:

He spoke, uttering the first and only sentence in this scene.

"No, Mom," Ye Wen said. "I'm doing very well."

"Really?" She looked relaxed and patted Ye Wen's head.

That's wonderful.

A succubus is such a being.

Her breathing, movements, and voice can disrupt your nerves and memories, leading you into the scene you most want to see amidst confusion and disorientation.

Once you develop a desire for what's in front of you, the poison called allure will gradually erode your soul, turning reason and thought into mud, until you finally become a complete slave to the succubus.

This is the process by which a succubus hunts.

As for what happens after becoming a succubus's slave, there's no need to elaborate further.

Looking at the face that he could only see in photos and dreams, Ye Wen lowered his head.

With his commanding view, there was no possibility of him getting lost.

Ye Wen remained clear-headed throughout, watching the succubus recreate the most beautiful aspect of his heart, and then—quietly shatter.

enough.

It is enough.

Dreaming or something.

Let's talk about it when we go to sleep.

The illusion shattered instantly, and Ye Wen naturally broke free from it, walking away without a trace of lingering attachment.

Behind him, his mother and Mu Xingyuan simply stood there, smiling as they watched his retreating figure without saying a word.

It seems they already knew he was going on a long journey.

Beside him, Corday's expression had turned into one of wisdom. She stood there in a daze, and Ye Wen swiftly delivered a chop to her head, then grabbed the succubus's hand that was reaching for Corday's chest.

Let's go back to the present.

"You're hurting me, brother~"

The invisible hand suddenly closed.

Like two steel coils about to collide, screeching as they tried to crush everything in their path into powder, Ye Wen used all his strength in this strike.

Did I hurt you? It's going to hurt even more now!

Mine is very big, please bear with it.

Snapped!

The invisible hands clasped together, producing thunderous applause. The succubus caught in the middle transformed into a wisp of purple smoke and dissipated. A few seconds later, she reappeared by the counter, looking at Ye Wen with a grin.

"Oh my, that's so violent! Seriously, she's supposed to be a pretty girl, right?"

"Such a rough approach is not very appealing to girls."

Ye Wen calmly exchanged a glance with the succubus: "That would be best."

"I'm troubled by the fact that I'm too popular."

Ye Wen observed the succubus from above. She had long purple hair and wore a long black JK uniform with a slit in the hem that reached her waist. Through the slit, one could vaguely see dark black stockings and purple ribbons.

However, what attracts the most attention is the cat ears standing upright on the succubus's head.

Oh, she's a catgirl.

"Ugh—what happened—"

At this moment, Corday, who had been knocked down by Ye Wen, also woke up. Still groggy, she watched Ye Wen confront the succubus, and even with her not-so-bright mind, she instantly understood what was going on.

So she blushed and couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, too embarrassed to face anyone.

A female witcher, easily seduced by a succubus in an instant? That's incredibly pathetic!

However, the feeling of that scene was so amazing, I wish I could do it again, hehe—ooh!

Corday was hit by Ye Wen again.

She covered her head, looking at Ye Wen with a shocked expression, as if to say, "How did you know what I was thinking?"

Ye Wen then used his disdainful look to tell her that her lewd smile was harder to suppress than an AK, and that anyone could see through it.

"Welcome to my inn, my two lovely guests~"

At this moment, the succubus proprietress spoke up: "My name is Youjiu. You two have come to my shop for more than just lodging, haven't you?"

"Do you require any special services?"

Youjiu gave Ye Wen a flirtatious wink.

Ye Wen then stopped the seductive glance in his tracks with a cold laugh, "You're not so simple, are you, trying to seduce a guest as soon as they walk in?"

"You're running a shady business, aren't you?"

"Yes, I run a shady business." Youjiu readily admitted. She moved and lingered in front of Ye Wen. With each step she took, an alluring fragrance began to spread throughout the room.

Ye Wen, expressionless, raised his hand and tapped Corday on the head again.

"What are you doing!"

Corday covered her head in disbelief: "I wasn't bewitched?"

"I'm used to it, so I'm just taking precautions."

Ye Wen said expressionlessly, "Let's stop this useless probing. Your charm has no effect on me."

"Not working? So what?"

Yujiu said nonchalantly, "I'm just making my shop smell a little better. People who are obsessed with something just because of this don't deserve to be served by me."

The next second, she appeared behind Ye Wen and Corday.

"Every customer who comes to my shop has a story they're ashamed to tell. They come here for various reasons, hoping to have a wonderful dream."

"I often take something from them as a reward, perhaps a pointless fate, or perhaps a deeply unforgettable emotion."

"And you, two rare humans."

Youjiu tiptoed, bringing her lips close to Ye Wen's ear: "What kind of satisfaction do you hope to gain by coming here?"

Ye Wen dodged Youjiu's embrace, which was about to be pretended to fall.

"Goodzowin, I want to know about it, and its current status."

"Oh? That old codger Goodzowin, I haven't heard his name in ages."

"You want to know about an aging werewolf? Human tastes are always so strange."

Unable to seduce Ye Wen, Youjiu tried to seduce Corday. She gently lifted Corday's chin, moving closer to her, while replying to Ye Wen, "Sure, I have a lot of information about it, but what are you going to offer in exchange?"

Ye Wen thought for a moment: "I don't know what I have that you would be interested in. Why don't you take what you think is worth it?"

"Hmm, so you want me to choose?"

Youjiu left Corday, whose face was flushed, and moved closer to Ye Wen, staring into his eyes.

"Then I choose not to make the deal."

In that instant, blood-red chrysanthemums bloomed in Ye Wen's pupils.

He's going to take a hard line now.

"Oh, oh, don't be in such a hurry. I'm just not going to make a deal, it's not like I'm not going to give you any information."

Youjiu took two steps back with an exaggerated expression, while Ye Wen reacted: "You want to exchange information with me in another way?"

"That's right."

"If it's just a simple bartering arrangement, that would be too boring. You are a rare guest who has come from afar; how can we treat you the same way we treat other guests?"

Ye Wen said sincerely, "I hate privileges. Why don't you treat me the same way?"

"don't want."

Youjiu refused decisively, and in a flash, she was already sitting down at the long table.

She invited Ye Wen to sit opposite her.

"If you want information about Goodzowin, you can."

"Then let's play a game."

Youjiu laughed and said, "A game where you gamble your life."
