The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

As he pondered the prophecy he had uttered, Ning Feng realized that he might indeed possess a talent for charlatanry.

Ning Feng knew the truth; he had only said it casually. But from Karan's perspective, the situation was completely different.

The answer she received from the sage actually confirmed her own deepest secret.

That ambition that I had never told anyone was actually exposed by someone!

His own prophecy was exactly what Karan truly believed.

Ning Feng had a strange feeling. He felt that he had suddenly risen from a charlatan who would solicit people on the street to a mysterious sage.

pat pat pat.

The demon girl straightened up and gently patted Ning Feng's head, stopping him from wandering aimlessly through the Holy Word Secret Realm.

[A little guy with a bit of ambition, I quite like that kind of personality~]

Is it simply a matter of having "a little" ambition?

Ning Feng was speechless at the units of measurement Ariana used and didn't bother to complain about it.

"Then you like it."

So, how do you plan to continue leveraging this advantage?

[Should we try having her do something? For example, have her pose in a specific way?]

Ok?

If you're into this, are you involved in the BDSM community?

After careful consideration, Ning Feng ultimately gave up on this tempting idea.

"No, let's not rush this. This matter can't be rushed."

Judging from the fragments of memory, Karan was a very cautious woman and not easily fooled.

"The bait has already been cast, it's too early to lift the rod now."

“She’s a guy who’s very good at using her strengths, so we can’t let her think she can get something on her.”

You can't let the other party think you're useful, otherwise the two sides' positions could be reversed at any time.

If we really want to maintain this gap between the two sides, then we can't let the other side feel that they have a chance to turn the tables and take control.

Karan doesn't even intend to spare her own mother, so when she has the opportunity to replace the Sage, will she hesitate?

Ning Feng felt that the answer didn't require any thought at all.

Will not.

Therefore, the best solution for this kind of person is not to give her any chance.

So, what should we do now?

"I... will do nothing."

Commonly known as – placement play.

"Let her think about it more and wait until she calms down before we talk about it."

[Aren't you worried that after she realizes the truth, she'll tell others about it? Let me preface this by saying, if a saint comes to cause trouble, I can't stop them.]

"Will not."

Ning Feng thought for a moment, then said again:

"She won't."

“If she were a supernatural being with faith, I would still be worried, but now…”

A smile played on Ning Feng's lips; he was very satisfied with the chess piece he had unexpectedly acquired.

"Do you expect an ambitious person like her to forgo the opportunity to share secrets with others?"

laugh.

"How is that possible!"

Chapter 277 Doing Nothing (First Update)

Will Karan tell anyone else about this?

Just as Ning Feng thought, Karan wouldn't do that.

In this world, she has no one she can trust.

Perhaps there were once people among those slaves who were willing to die for her, but they are no longer there.

Ning Feng only saw fragments of memories, which were very general and made it impossible for him to understand Karan's true feelings.

When Kalan first encountered the Flame Demon Queen, did he really rely on his own strength to withstand her attack?

Not at all.

Another reason she survived was because a group of slaves surrounded her with their bodies as a barrier.

Karan didn't have many genuine feelings for them, but it wouldn't be realistic to say he wasn't moved at all.

After that, she had no one she could trust anymore; the only person she could trust was herself.

"........."

In the room that he had specially treated, Karan regained his true appearance after a long time.

After such a huge change, Karan desperately needed to find a sense of security.

Whether it's her male noble appearance or her demonic fire demon form, these are all results of her magical transformations, while her original form represents her full power.

Barefoot, she walked on a carpet made of demonic spider silk, her outer garments loosening as her body changed, and were carelessly tossed aside by Kalan as she walked.

After removing the last piece of clothing that was in the way, Karan stood in front of the huge full-length mirror and examined her appearance.

Its wheat-colored skin was as smooth as silk, and a pair of crimson horns peeked out from its dark red, ear-length hair, with a thick tail with flames burning at the end behind it.

From a human aesthetic point of view, her face is quite beautiful, but her overly stern and cold gaze ruins the overall impression and gives people a strong sense of oppression.

She hadn't seen herself like this in so long, and looking at herself in the mirror gave her a strange feeling, as if she were looking at a complete stranger.

After thoroughly examining the area from all angles, I found nothing unusual. There were no contractual patterns, and the overall structure remained completely unchanged.

Lowering his head, Kalan looked at the token in his hand, his expression uncertain.

"So, they didn't do anything at all?"

The sharp edges that had previously been soaked in her blood no longer showed any abnormality, appearing exactly the same as before, but Karan's intuition told her that things were not so simple.

It has indeed changed, and it has become connected to itself!

After a moment's thought, Karina suddenly clenched her fist again without warning, completely unconcerned that the previous bloody scene would repeat itself.

As she expected, the token's edges remained sharp, but it couldn't pierce her palm even slightly.

The demon scales, exceeding the fourth tier, are so tough that even a normal person couldn't break through them with a power drill.

"Just as I thought."

Karan released his grip thoughtfully, confirming once again that the extraordinary experience that had occurred to him was not a dream.

"So, the answer is also..."

……

……

"Of course I won't do anything to you now."

"It's not the right time yet."

Overall, Ning Feng was quite satisfied with the result of acquiring a pair of eyes implanted in a supernatural being.

Having a way to directly experience the inner workings of extraordinary beings gave him a deeper understanding of them.

Moreover, Ning Feng was quite satisfied with the chess piece, Kalan, himself.

Based on the information available, Kalan can be considered a relatively pure type of person in Ning Feng's eyes.

She had a dark past, but she didn't hold onto the goodness in her heart; she fell into depravity... no, she never had that in the first place.

Born a bad seed.

She lived a very pure life, not the kind of complex being who is both good and evil, which made Ning Feng feel less guilty.

Is it hypocrisy?

Ning Feng was aware of his own hypocrisy, but he didn't care much about it.

Nobody knows, right?

Moreover, to a good extent, Karan has a clear weakness.

Her thirst for power is a very easy point to exploit.

Ning Feng believed that as long as he could offer her more power, she would sign a contract with him without hesitation.

Even contracts that are known to be dangerous.

Judging from her past experiences, Karan is an ambitious person, and at heart, a complete gambler.

After all, a normal person wouldn't lead tens of thousands of slaves in a rebellion, much less attempt to drag the demon lord off his throne.

"What a fruitful experience!"

Clearing his jumbled thoughts, Ning Feng took a deep breath and sighed:

"Shouldn't we be heading out soon?"

It's about time to go home for dinner.

The situation at the Holy Word's Secret Place has already been examined, and it's not as pleasant as it seems.

Even with the guidance and help of angels and demons, Ning Feng was unable to exert any further control over the Holy Word Secret.

There's no way to move it from its current location, nor is there any way to develop more capabilities.

However, just as Ariana said, Ning Feng really is the successor of the Holy Word Secret Realm, and it did not resist Ning Feng's various explorations.
