On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

Any veteran player knows that anything that pops up options and triggers special events is bound to be something special.

But that wouldn't work in a script; there are no "options" here.

The current dispute between director Mellon and Professor Einstein stems from the fact that Mellon can accept that the Ash Lord has seen through the Succubus Princess, but there must be a reason or foreshadowing, right?

Professor Clever Ince was a theorist. Although he insisted that the Ashbringer must have the wisdom to see through it, he couldn't come up with a good solution as to how he actually did it.

Just as the scene was about to escalate into a dispute, it was Liao Ji who had to speak up.

"How about this, Director, Professor? As a succubus princess, I think her test should be more difficult and more profound."

"You mean..."

"For example, the succubus princess is disguised as a dying survivor, but she is actually very beautiful. Even with her dirty face, you can tell she's the kind of beauty that's meant to be. At the same time, the succubus princess is using her powers to tempt the evil within the Ash Lord, causing him to have a fourth thought!"

Liao Ji's "bold hypothesis" stopped both Director Mellon and Professor Einstein from arguing. They listened attentively, their eyes even brightening as they applauded, thinking, "What a great idea!"

In Mellon's view, it's normal for a succubus princess to bewitch people, so it's necessary to add some more evil and more unsettling tests to better highlight the Ash leader's unwavering qualities.

Professor Einstein also agreed, since this would explain how the Ash Emperor saw through the Succubus Princess – it was because she was casting a charm spell.

So now all that's left is...

What exactly are the evil ideas behind this so-called "enchantment"?

"Xiao Liao? Why did you stop? Keep going! What was your fourth thought?" Professor Einstein pressed eagerly.

"Uh, this isn't necessary."

Liao Ji scratched his head, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

As a result, before the old professor could even begin to lecture Liao Ji, the director, Mellon, was already earnestly trying to correct Liao Ji's misconceptions.

"Of course it's necessary! Dr. Liao Ji, you're perfectly embodying the role you're playing right now! We really need your flashes of inspiration. Often, it's these moments of actors getting into character that create so many timeless classic scenes!"

"Quick! Keep going, the more detailed the better! No, no, no! Your storytelling is too poor. We have the venue and people here, let's just film it!"

Liao Ji: ".?"

However, this is often the case.

A novel is only a work of fiction when it's written down, and a film is only good or bad when it's shot.

Chapter 299 The Fourth Option

Inside the alley.

As the footsteps drew closer, the succubus princess, lying on the ground, felt both nervous and expectant.

Her survival on the verge of death is actually quite remarkable.

At first glance, he looked like a starving refugee, but you could actually see his pale skin through the holes in his clothes; pale skin is still white.

Her delicate little breasts, half-concealed from her neckline, were still adorable despite being malnourished, exuding an alluring charm.

The short shirt, which only covers the upper half of the body, is just right, allowing the bare lower half of the legs to be exposed in a reasonable and appropriate way. Although the legs are very thin, they have a very good shape.

With the added power of the succubus's magic, she's less like a "dying" survivor and more like a beautiful, homeless girl who's starving.

Anyone who sees her will have their lustful desires stirred within them.

For example, an ordinary person might immediately have the wicked thought of giving her a few bites of food and then demanding that she "repay the favor" in bed.

So Nana is very curious about what kind of evil thoughts she might provoke in the Ash Lord.

Will this legendary Ash Lord succumb to evil thoughts and succumb to the allure of his own magic? If so...

Hmph, this Ash Lord is nothing special; she misjudged him.

At best, they would only be fit to kneel at the hem of her skirt.

Finally, the footsteps stopped, and the succubus princess, with her eyes tightly closed, could sense that the Ash Lord was right in front of her.

"Help me." Nana opened her weak eyes and pleaded.

Just when the succubus princess thought that the Ash Lord would hesitate, the Ash Lord was unexpectedly decisive and acted swiftly.

When Nana asked for help, the "cloaked man" reached into his robes and quickly pulled out a bottle of medicine.

Seeing this, Nana felt both happy and disappointed.

To her delight, the other party resisted her charm spell and did not make any lustful moves. Instead, she did not hesitate to give her the precious potion, clearly intending to save her.

This shows that the Ash Lord is kind-hearted and has a strong will, so much so that his charm spell has no effect on him. This indicates that he must be a very pure and innocent person, completely different from the rumored cruel and ruthless person who would do anything to achieve his goals.

As for disappointment, that's for sure.

As a succubus, deep down she probably doesn't really like these kinds of "nice guys," because honest men can't satisfy their needs.

Of course, as a succubus princess, she didn't have such lewd thoughts. Her disappointment was simply that honest people couldn't become saviors. Such kindness was actually an obstacle to saving the world, hmm.

While the succubus princess was still lost in thought, the Ash Lord reached out a strong hand from his cloak and gently helped her open her mouth. He then fed her the potion little by little, pouring it into her body.

This considerate approach, coupled with the closer proximity and the feeling of the Ash Lord's formidable power, stirred Nana's heart, triggering her succubus instincts and giving her a strange feeling.

【Humph! 】

[Such a foolishly kind person will definitely be easily deceived in the future. Considering you fed me medicine today, I'll consider you passed the test, and I'll reluctantly offer to assist you from behind.]

Why is my consciousness and my body...?

Wait, wait, wait!

Could it be that...?

At first, the effects of the medicine were like a gentle breeze; Nana felt nothing and even felt quite comfortable, wishing she could just fall asleep. But as her consciousness and strength became increasingly blurred, Nana suddenly woke up and realized something was wrong.

But clearly, it was already too late.

Even though the succubus princess knew many supernatural powers and spells, she couldn't use them at all now. She never expected that she, who was always shrewd and always the one to play tricks on others, would fall into someone else's trap today.

Before her vision completely disappeared into darkness, the last thing Nana saw through her blurred vision was the maid who had been behind the Ash Lord, walking step by step towards her, who was already limp and powerless from the effects of the drug, under the Ash Lord's orders.

This

here it is?

When Nana regained consciousness and opened her eyes again, she found that the place deep within her had become completely unfamiliar, eerie and dark.

A dungeon!?

What?!

The succubus princess's beautiful eyes were initially filled with confusion, but after she quickly regained her memory, they transformed into immense anger.

Damn!

We've fallen for their trap!

Nana was about to run out when she heard a series of clanging sounds coming from her hands and feet.

It was only then that the succubus princess realized that her limbs were bound with handcuffs and shackles like those of a prisoner, and she was tied to a pillar in a dungeon.

What made Nana's heart sink even more was that her disguise spell was broken. Now she had pink hair, a pair of fleshy wings tied behind her back, and even her tail was tied with a very heavy lead ball.

This appearance is her true form, the succubus princess.

This undoubtedly further proves that the other party had already seen through his disguise.

hateful

After struggling to no avail, Nana was annoyed but not too panicked, since such chains could not restrain her.

With the activation of the spell, Nana easily caused the shackles to fall off on their own.

Just as the succubus princess was feeling smug and preparing to escape, determined to avenge herself for today's humiliation, a demi-human wielding a knife appeared to have been waiting for her for a long time.

"It's you!"

Nana recognized the person at a glance by those iconic dragon horns—the guard beside the Ash Lord, a demi-human dragon girl!

However, the succubus princess was very confident in her abilities.

The mere Guardian class is nothing but a bunch of cannon fodder to be toyed with in front of the Psychic class!

Battle is imminent.

As for the outcome, it was as expected.

"If it weren't so cramped here, I would never have lost. Mmm..."

The defeated succubus princess used her magical staff as a crutch to barely support her body.

She was bound and restrained again by the Dragon Girl, and this time, when she saw the Dragon Girl approaching with various interrogation "tools," Nana's eyes showed a hint of fear, but she still defiantly shouted:

"I'm warning you! Tell that stinking Ash Lord to let me go right now, or else... Waaaaah... Ah!"

"No, no, please, we can talk about it, I have... ah."

"It's no use, give up, I... I won't."

After the interrogation, the succubus, though drenched in sweat, still gritted her teeth, showing that this princess was indeed determined.

A short while later, a young nun also entered the dungeon.

When the succubus saw the man's appearance and the many potions in his arms, she was immediately filled with rage.

She knew it; not a single clergyman was any good, and all those nuns were liars!

Under Nana's humiliated gaze, she was forcibly given a large amount of the new medicine from the nun's arms.

These drugs began to make her feel hot all over, and her body, which was tied to the wooden stake, began to writhe more and more. Her eyes, which had been firm in their resolve, were now glazed over, and her chest heaved violently.

Finally, in the succubus princess's dazed state, she saw the last two people to appear in the dungeon, the master and servant from before.

The mechanical maid whispered in her ear, projecting strange images onto a monitor before her eyes. This began to manipulate her common sense in conjunction with the drug's effects, making her increasingly confused, her mind seemingly consumed only by the grey-robed figure in the dungeon.
