The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

When did he start watching, and how much did he watch?

The thought of it is terrifying.

"Even now, is it still there?"

With his eyes closed, Ning Feng tried to sense a possible gaze.

Sensing...

With the succubus's and angel's senses overlapping, Ning Feng searched with all his might...

He actually noticed a gaze!

However, it came from the shadow beneath his feet...

Ning Feng: ...Who are you?

A clear, bell-like laugh rang out, echoing in Ning Feng's heart, and his vision instantly turned into deep darkness.

The darkness was not frightening; instead, it brought a long-lost warmth and tranquility.

In this tranquil setting, a black cat with magnificent fur sat upright, smiling and waving at Ning Feng.

"Go."

While Ning Feng was in a daze, the black cat smiled and repeated:

"Go and participate, young man."

Hehehe~

Smiling, the black cat jumped to his side and patted the back of his hand with its front paw.

"By the way, you've been doing really well lately, I have high hopes for you!"

card!

The darkness shattered, but Ning Feng remained rooted to the spot, as if everything he had just witnessed was merely an illusion.

"........."

Looking down at the small plum blossom marks remaining on the back of his hand, Ning Feng's expression twitched.

After a long while, he finally managed to utter a sentence:

"You fucking..."

Is it asleep, or is it awake and spying?

Ning Feng stomped his foot at his shadow, genuinely wanting to curse.

Bah!

Don't log off!

Let's come out and fight!

What would you do?

A phantom of light and shadow appeared behind them, and an angel in a white dress appeared silently, calmly looking at Ning Feng, who seemed exasperated, and asked:

Should we take her advice?

"Humph."

Watching Ning Feng try to hide his joy with exaggerated actions, Cecilia snorted and interrupted him:

"Stop performing, she can't see."

The illusory light and shadow slowly walked over and came to Ning Feng, who had stopped in his tracks, glancing at the shadow beneath his feet.

"She is truly asleep."

Cecilia's golden eyes lit up, and she scrutinized him twice before finally lowering her gaze and saying softly:

“Surprised? Ariana is more cunning than you think. I never thought she was an easy enemy to deal with.”

He spoke calmly, clearly saying bad things about the other person, but surprisingly, it didn't make others feel that he was slandering them.

Because she was so serious, she took her words with absolute utmost seriousness.

"I am not surprised at all that she secretly retained a small part of her consciousness."

"I originally thought that last bit of consciousness was to guard against me attacking her."

The cunning devil will not entrust all his life and safety to the angels; he will always keep his own trump cards.

This residual consciousness is a crucial protective mechanism; it allows her to forcibly wake up from her slumber should danger arise.

"In other words, I tacitly allowed her to retain this consciousness."

We can't push her to the brink; that's not the outcome Cecilia wants right now.

“I thought of many possibilities, but I never imagined... it would be to remind you at some point.”

With her eyes closed, Cecilia felt more and more that the Ariana she remembered was constantly changing.

Which one is the real you?

It's incomprehensible.

To be honest, even now, Cecilia still doesn't understand the relationship between Ning Feng and Ariana.

Contractor?

Blood pact, soul pact, equal contract... there are many names, but they are essentially the same.

Their souls are intertwined, linked by their destinies, and sharing each other's future.

But is it really that simple?

Cecilia remained skeptical.

She knew Ariana's proud personality all too well.

That demon, though he smiled at everyone on the surface, never cared about anyone's feelings.

Cecilia didn't believe that Ariana, with her capricious nature, would tolerate others sharing everything about her.

Cecilia never even imagined that Ariana would one day have such a contractor.

Moreover, they didn't set any traps in the contract, but actually and honestly acted as qualified contractors.

too weird.

It's truly unbelievable.

Holding fast to her understanding of demons, Cecilia earnestly admonished them once again:

"Just because she's not doing anything to you now doesn't mean she won't in the future."

After saying that, she frowned, as if she wanted to say something more, but ultimately restrained herself and instead said:

"Faced with such a complex and ever-changing evil entity, what choice would you make?"

Will you take my advice?

Stay vigilant and never expose your back to darkness that you cannot control.

She will devour you.

Or will you continue to trust her?

Then you should be careful not to fall into the trap she has woven.

The deeper you get involved, the less likely you are to escape.

Cecilia had said enough without saying these things aloud; the rest was up to him to figure out.

Now, he is the only one qualified to make the decision.

Even Cecilia has no right to interfere.

"Um……"

Ning Feng coughed lightly and withdrew his foot from the shadow without making it obvious, without answering immediately.

Instead, he stroked his chin and looked at Cecilia with a strange gaze that made her uncomfortable.

Cecilia: "…………"

Ning Feng: "emmm..."

The two stared at each other until Ning Feng nodded thoughtfully.

"Oh, I see."

"I've noticed that you really talk a lot when it comes to topics related to Ariana."

Cecilia: ?

"...What are you trying to say?"

Her right hand slowly moved to her waist, and although Cecilia, dressed in a long dress, had nothing there, she still reached out to grasp it.

Clang.

The faint, humming sound of swords echoed, and Cecilia's threatening intent was palpable.

Give me a clear answer!

Ning Feng, however, seemed oblivious to her actions, and exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something:

"So, you two are the true love, right?"

Clang!
