The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

"Uh."

Although he was mentally prepared, Ning Feng still felt a little flustered when he actually faced it.

Looking at the two people staring at him side by side, Ning Feng still felt a little guilty.

He's sweating.

"Uh, it seems I've come at the wrong time?"

Ok?

It feels a little strange. Should I not have said those words?

"No, you've come at the perfect time."

Ning Feng's words broke the tense atmosphere. Jiang Wan withdrew her gaze meaningfully and walked to the table opposite Xilin to sit down.

"We were just talking about you."

"Come here, let's talk together."

Unfortunately, there was a stool next to both Jiang Wan and Xilin...

Which side would you like to sit on?

The selection process has begun.

Should I step with my left foot first?

Should I step with my right foot first?

Feeling somewhat overwhelmed, Ning Feng, who had committed numerous evils, finally tasted the bitter fruit of his own actions.

Whoosh!

Ok?

Ning Feng was pondering when he suddenly felt something was missing from the hidden compartment in his arms…

what?

I don't think I'm carrying anything... Ouch!

"Let's put everything else aside for now, Ning Feng..."

Shirin's voice rang out, carrying a faint smile and an inexplicable strangeness:

"Could you explain this?"

His expression instantly froze, and Ning Feng looked with difficulty at Xilin's hand.

There was a folded piece of paper there.

Above, there was a bright red lip print, as red as blood.

From another woman...

Ning Feng: Danger!

---Aside---

Ning Feng, who has committed numerous evils, will eventually be punished (for real).

Please vote for me!

I got so engrossed in writing that I lost track of time and almost caused a major incident...

Danger.

very dangerous!

It even reached the point of a life-or-death crisis.

No, this is much more exciting than a life-or-death battle.

Death is a matter of a single blow.

If I were to die now, it might not be as simple as just one stab.

In the worst-case scenario, it might be finely chopped into minced meat and divided equally.

Sweat began to form on his forehead, and Ning Feng, who was usually eloquent, was at a loss for words at this moment.

There's really nothing between us!

She seduced me!

I'm just a good person who stays true to myself and remains unmoved by temptation!

...Why does this sound so unconvincing?

Seeing Ning Feng's flustered appearance, a smile flashed in Xilin's eyes, but it quickly disappeared without anyone noticing.

Contrary to her usual behavior, Xilin smiled charmingly:

"Dear Mr. Ning Feng, could you explain to me what this is?"

Xilin's demeanor at this moment was different from the demure woman she was with Ning Feng; it was the legendary persona she had previously presented to outsiders.

She exudes a mature charm and an intellectual aura.

This appearance is similar to Ning Feng's when she first met him, but there are slight differences in the details.

Xilin was more natural and relaxed. Her mature and charming demeanor was not a deliberate imitation or acting, but a charm that came from her very bones.

Someone changed her, allowing her to naturally possess this captivating charm without needing to imitate.

Who is that person?

It is Ningfeng.

And he is panicking now.

"Not going to say anything?"

No, I'll tell you!

"I, uh..."

cough cough cough.

Ning Feng glanced at their expressions and finally came to a conclusion.

No, this can't go on; we have to get the pace right!

Following their path will surely lead to death.

There is no chance of survival!

The situation has reached a dead end, and it seems that we have no choice but to resort to this wicked scheme.

I didn't want this to happen, you all forced me to!

This strategy is a timeless tactic that has been passed down through the world for a long time and has repeatedly proven its effectiveness in dangerous situations!

It can subdue the enemy without fighting, making them obediently lay down their weapons and stop attacking.

The war could be quelled without losing a single soldier.

Its name is—

"I...I surrender."

【surrender】

Ning Feng coughed lightly, raised his hands with a wry smile, and shook his head, saying:

"I am the one who caused all of this; it's all the problem."

This scheme has many names:

【Retreating to advance】, 【Bending to gain strength】, 【Silence is golden】, 【Follow your heart's choice】, 【Defense is the best offense】, 【Secret Marseille】...

Unfortunately, most people only remember it as "surrender".

That's wrong!

This is definitely not a simple matter!

The amount of determination required to perform this action is unimaginable to ordinary people...

No, there isn't.

With his arms raised symbolically, Ning Feng calmly took a step forward.

They walked straight along the central axis between them.

This isn't cowardice, it's respect!

Jiang Wan: ?

Jiang Wan glanced at Ning Feng with some confusion, then looked at the paper in Xilin's hand. She didn't understand what she had seen.

What could be so powerful?

What kind of riddle are you playing?

You riddle-solving idiot, go to hell!

Out of the corner of her eye, Xilin caught a glimpse of Jiang Wan's curious yet reserved demeanor, as if she didn't intend to get up and look. She smiled inwardly, loosened her grip on the paper, and let it fall.

!!!

opportunity!

But before Ning Feng could step forward to snatch it, an invisible magic force gently grasped the paper like a hand and lightly delivered it to Jiang Wan.

Ah no...

Jiang Wan frowned as she looked at the note, then raised an eyebrow and pondered for a moment.

Jiang Wan placed the paper face down on the table, then looked at Ning Feng with a gaze that made him somewhat embarrassed.

Dangerous.
