The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

But to say he's relaxed right now, he's not actually that relaxed.

He could have had a moment of peace, but before Ning Feng could even enjoy it, his pitiful sense of superiority was shattered by a suddenly appearing fifth-tier elder.

Hey bro, stop showing off. The outside world is much scarier than you think.

Don't stop!

We need to become stronger.

How to advance to the second level has become the new challenge:

"How can I improve from here? Continuing to hunt succubi to obtain their blood probably won't change anything, but it feels like something's missing..."

Ning Feng had a feeling that things weren't that simple...

What's wrong?

The black cat noticed Ning Feng's expression, and its face turned strange and amused. It patted its bewildered little brother on the shoulder.

"You figured it out so quickly? That's right, a succubus needs to meet other conditions to advance to the second tier~"

"Don't worry~ it's not difficult at all!"

A bright smile appeared on her lips as she whispered:

"It's just that..."

"It only requires you to corrupt a pure soul."

Chapter Thirty-Two: Wow! There's a bad woman here!

"No matter the form or method, as long as you can corrupt a pure soul, you can meet the conditions for advancement."

Ning Feng frowned slightly, wanting her to stop joking at this moment, but he had a vague feeling in his heart.

Ariana was not lying; she gave the correct answer.

"Succubi are best at corrupting people. First-tier succubi corrupt people more on a physical level, while second-tier succubi begin to modify people's minds."

"Think about it! Let your pure and innocent soul be stained with your own color and take on your own shape."

Enjoying Ning Feng's conflicted expression, the black cat revealed a mischievous smile and drawled:

"This is such a wonderful thing!"

This does sound very tempting, but from the perspective of public order and good morals, it is still somewhat inhumane.

It certainly doesn't sound like a kind thing.

Previously, although the black cat kept telling him to go and corrupt others, Ning Feng didn't really take it to heart.

He firmly believed that, with his iron will, he would not have done that if he had any other choice.

As long as you can control yourself, you can remain unaffected by the succubus bloodline.

But now it seems that this was just a naive wish.

Ning Feng did not consider himself a purely good person; he could not reach the level of a great philanthropist who believed in "I am for everyone."

But he doesn't consider himself a bad person.

He is not very willing to do things that would harm others purely for his own benefit; that kind of extremely selfish personality clashes with his worldview.

But if there really is only one choice, he won't stubbornly wait to die; he'll compromise sooner or later.

If you cause a pure soul to fall into depravity, shouldn't the soul bear the responsibility?

The answer is yes.

"Isn't there any other way?"

Frowning as he pondered, Ning Feng felt as if he had fallen into a very awkward situation.

He had a gut feeling that once he took this step, it would be the beginning of his downfall, both for others and for himself.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you've done something like this before, the guilt you feel when you do it again later will be less, and you won't be as resistant as before.

Then, through repeated compromises, they gradually descend into the abyss of depravity.

One day, he will become the kind of person he once resisted, or rather, the kind of person Ariana hoped for.

But this time, Ning Feng seems to have misjudged some things.

After admiring Ning Feng's conflicted soul, Ariana suddenly spoke:

"Oh dear! You're really malicious. Are you thinking about something inappropriate for children?"

"I never said that the object of depravity must be a woman. Why do you have to think of that kind of method?"

"Human thoughts are truly filthy!"

Ning Feng: ...?

How dare you call me filthy?! Do you even have any sense of reason?!

Ning Feng had intended to say that, but he suddenly realized what Ariana meant and paused for a moment.

"Wait, it wasn't the pure soul you mentioned... uh."

Laughing heartily, Ariana was like a cat who had secretly eaten a dried fish, in a very happy mood, and even made a heart shape with her tail.

How delightful!

Ning Feng knew he had been tricked by this scumbag cat again, and had successfully fallen into the verbal trap she had set.

"Whew, I found it?"

"That's right! The ritual doesn't specify the gender of the soul! After all, succubi have a very wide range of targets to choose from."

If succubi only seduce their own male counterparts, then there would be very few female succubi.

In reality, the ratio of men to women who fall into depravity is basically the same.

After all, there are quite a few people in this world who are bisexual and seek thrills.

Never try to fathom the depths of human depravity with your own kind heart; you'll be amazed.

"Besides, there are many ways to become corrupt; physical corruption isn't the only form of true corruption."

There are far too many ways to corrupt a person—body, will, mind, and even soul—to insist on indulging in carnal desires is to fall short of the proper path.

call……

This way, I feel much less burdened and can barely accept it.

So what if he was shivering and cold? Ning Feng admitted that he was indeed much more accepting of the idea of ​​persecuting men.

Ning Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little strange.

Why did Ariana suddenly change her personality?

Why didn't she wait until she was about to reap the bitter fruits of her actions to remind herself of the correct answer so early?

It wasn't that he didn't trust Ariana, but rather that he had been tricked so many times that he was starting to develop PTSD.

I don't believe she's really that good to me.

Silently observing the confusion in Ning Feng's eyes, the black cat's scarlet eyes gleamed with a deep light, and it spoke with pleasure:

"Unlike some people who still doubt kind-hearted contractors, since I've promised to respect you, I will definitely keep my word~"

Why don't you just say it directly?

Suddenly, a thought struck Ning Feng, and he cautiously asked, somewhat uncertainly, about the key point of the matter:

"Um, you wouldn't happen to be... retaliating against me for rejecting your offer earlier, would you?"

Because your request to become a system administrator was rejected, you're going to get revenge on me, right?

How old are you?

With a smile, Ariana licked her paw, showing no sign of anything amiss, and chuckled:

"Hehehe, how could that be? Am I the kind of petty, vengeful woman?"

hiss……

Yes!

"Moreover, I have a feeling that it would be more exciting to see you struggle and make the same choice after you know everything, rather than being forced to make a choice without knowing the truth!"

Wow!

There's a bad woman here!

That's such a terrible personality!

"But there's no rush. You have plenty of time to think about how to accomplish this before you collect enough blood essence."

The black cat leaped off Ning Feng's shoulder, its body slowly merging into the shadows, leaving only a teasing sound echoing in Ning Feng's heart:

"I'd better think about how to gather the blood I need first."

"Wait! Where am I supposed to find a succubus...?"

Ning stopped speaking halfway through, turned her head to look at the door, and seemed to see a figure approaching outside.

Unlike the elusive Dr. Lin from before, this newcomer, though moving with light steps, did not completely conceal his arrival.

Dongdong.

The door was gently pulled open, and Yan Rulong's serious face appeared behind it. He was not surprised to see Ning Feng standing on the ground, but he took a deep look at the torn bandages on the hospital bed.

Nodding at Ning Feng, Yan Rulong seemed to have completely calmed down. He didn't criticize Ning Feng's previous risky actions anymore and calmly said:

"Since you have fully recovered, I regret to inform you that your vacation is over, Ning Feng."

Ignoring Ning Feng's reply, Instructor Yan turned and walked out:

"Come with me."

"You are now qualified to know those messages."

Yan Rulong had previously promised Ning Feng information about the altar and the succubus.
