The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

"There's no other way, if I stay any longer I'll be exposed... uh, but it's not my own stuff!"

Despite having a massive, devastating wound in her abdomen that could cause anyone to collapse or go into shock, Jiang Wan's expression did not show pain; instead, she appeared somewhat embarrassed.

"I came here to make him feel guilty. If I reveal that I was also injured, that would be really awkward."

"Oh dear, this wound is really troublesome..."

Wounds of this severity are extremely dangerous even for awakened individuals. It is crucial to control the injury immediately to prevent it from worsening. Although Jiang Wan has a special constitution, she cannot be careless either.

It's okay to be assertive when necessary, but it's also important to know when to back down.

With practiced ease, Jiang Wan changed the bandages, turning the medical room's sink into a bloody mess, resembling a murder scene.

After observing myself carefully in the mirror for a while, I could see that although the growth was slow, the flesh and blood were indeed growing slowly.

"Without treatment, it will take about ten hours, which is just enough time to get back."

"Speaking of which, the gift hasn't been given yet..."

"It was just one sentence away!"

Although she was very unwilling to tell Ning Feng the good news in person, going back now would definitely expose her, which would be a huge loss.

With a slight pout, Jiang Wan thought of the guy who had left her wounds, and wished she could piece together his ashes and kill him again.

However, since they found its last possession inside its body, it could be said that it died a worthy death.

"Forget it, let's just find Aunt Yan instead."

Jiang Wan found a new white coat in the infirmary and put it on. While selecting hemostatic drugs, she dialed the phone.

The call was answered as soon as it rang, and Yan Rulong's calm voice came through the phone:

"Hey?"

"Ahem! Good morning! Our beloved Instructor Yan, how have you been lately? Have you had any disagreements with your wife? Are the kids having any troubles lately?"

"...Get to the point."

Yan Rulong's voice remained completely calm. He knew Jiang Wan's attitude well and could tell at a glance that this disobedient child was going to bother him again.

Otherwise, she would just open her mouth with that unreasonable and unpleasant "Aunt Yan".

The world is going to the dogs; young people these days are so snobbish. They only talk about Instructor Yan when they need something, and Aunt Yan when they don't.

Of course, the number of people who actually dare to say this to his face can be counted on one hand.

"Since you've put it that way, I'll get straight to the point! It's about Ning Feng."

"It's obvious, so let's stop with the pointless pleasantries."

Yan Rulong was unfriendly, but he did not refuse, even though he knew very well that the other party was using him as a tool.

With a smile, Jiang Wan put the medicine bottle into the bag and looked at herself in the mirror. Apart from her slightly pale complexion, there was nothing else unusual about her appearance.

"That's right. As you know, after I switched jobs, they treated me quite well, right? They provided me with a lot of resources."

Yan Rulong: "...?"

Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?

Don't go too far! Are you deliberately picking a fight?

"Then, in the past two years, I finally upgraded to the third tier. I can't improve quickly in a short time, and some low-tier resources are useless to me."

"So, I used those resources to customize a weapon... but unfortunately!"

Jiang Wan sighed regretfully, as if she were telling the truth.

"The designer actually made a men's version!"

"We can't back out now. After thinking it over, we'll just give it to Ning Feng. He's been having a bit of a rough time lately anyway."

"The last Silverlight weapon doesn't seem to be enough anymore, so it's a good time to get a new one, don't you think?"

Jiang Wan was making excuses rather carelessly on her end, while Yan Rulong on the other end of the phone pulled the phone away with a helpless expression.

Can you two stop being so awkward?

One was trying to get the other transferred to the command line, while the other was indirectly sending the other something for self-defense.

Everyone knows about your relationship. Aren't you tired of explaining so much?

Also, I really don't want to hear it, so please don't tell me anymore.

I'm getting old and tired.

"That's it, just tell him directly, no need to mention my name, I'm not a vain woman..."

Interrupting Jiang Wan's endless attempts to cover things up, Yan Rulong asked a question:

Why didn't you tell him about this yourself?

Your relationship doesn't seem to require so much consideration, does it?

Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble?

Jiang Wan pursed her lips, her lips twitching slightly several times, but in the end she didn't explain. Forcing herself to speak, she said:

"Oh, isn't it better if you say so? You're his boss, so it's reasonable to give Ning Feng a reward for completing the task."

"Besides, I can't get back in time, so I won't show up."

Yan Rulong paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at the several sets of photos taken by the surveillance camera. He stared at the last image of Jiang Wan entering the infirmary before finally speaking:

"We've added several new surveillance locations, and eliminated all the previous blind spots."

"Oh, this is so embarrassing."

Jiang Wan read the text aloud with a sigh.

"So, hurry back and get treatment. They're going crazy looking for you over there."

Looking at the message the other party sent, Yan Rulong felt a headache coming on.

"I clearly left my information; I didn't sneak out."

Jiang Wan shook her head nonchalantly, tossing the discarded bandages and cotton balls into the trash can, but didn't object. She picked up her phone and muttered:

"Anyway, just don't tell him. I'm heading back now! Goodbye, Instructor Yan!"

"Don't tell him!"

Do do do...

"Why don't you just call him and tell him? What a...awkward kid."

Rubbing his temples, Yan Rulong's serious face suddenly broke into a meaningful smile. Looking at the photo on the table, he murmured:

"Tell me, what kind of angel is this? Are you all mentally unstable?"

"Old man."

……

……

Without answering Ariana's question, Ning Feng's expression gradually calmed down, and he sighed softly.

The black cat jumped from his head onto the table laden with various reagents, chuckling as it asked:

"So, you smelled it too?"

Ning Feng nodded silently and finally moved, walking towards the stool where Jiang Wan had been sitting and gently moving it away.

Directly beneath the stool was a coin-sized bloodstain, glowing a bright, vivid red.

"Yes, I can smell it."

"Even if I cover my nose, the smell still seeps into my body through my skin."

With a deep gaze, Ning Feng said softly:

"She was injured, and badly."

Chapter Sixteen: His and Her Choice

Ning Feng never imagined that one day his nose would become as sensitive to blood and qi as an animal's.

The moment he entered, he smelled a sweet aroma mixed with a faint fishy smell.

At first, he thought it was the effect of the succubus bloodline, that he was sensing a scent like body fragrance.

But when Jiang Wan stepped forward to straighten his clothes, the strong scent filled his nostrils, making him freeze in place. Only then did Ning Feng realize the problem.

Ning Feng did indeed smell the woman's fragrance, which aroused some of his desires, but what made it even harder for him to control himself was...

It smells like fresh blood.

The pure blood of a young woman.

Succubi are a complete race, not just females; male succubi also exist.

As for why they aren't as famous as female succubi, it's probably because they don't have juice-making princesses!

Perhaps, the day they become famous will be when some cunning juice extractors appear.

Male succubi, as the warmongers and cannon fodder of their race, may not be particularly attractive, but their thirst for battle is average among demons.

They are passionate about killing and revel in the feeling of bathing in blood.

Ning Feng also wanted to smear that blood all over parts of his body...

"Tsk, what a twisted idea."

"I would never have thought this way before. Sure enough, this bloodline is really impure!"

It's not my fault, it's all the fault of the succubus bloodline!

Shaking his head, Ning Feng banished the impulsive thought from his mind and recalled Jiang Wan's seemingly carefree yet flustered steps as she left.

"Although she is willing to put on a brave face, she is not the kind of person who would joke about her life. The fact that she didn't say it out loud shows that she can still hold on."

Overall, although Jiang Wan likes to put on a brave face in front of herself, she is not someone who is overly concerned with saving face.

"Then I guess she's probably in some infirmary getting her wound treated right now."
