The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

He can dispel the darkness and mist in secret chambers, reignite flames extinguished for millennia with a thought, and appear unnoticed in every conversation...

But no matter how much ability you have, you can't do it anymore; things like killing someone with a single thought are out of the question.

In general, Ning Feng has some authority, but not much; at most, he can only pretend to be in control.

However, such abilities are sufficient for the current situation; giving more Ning Fengs wouldn't be of any use.

"Leave? Don't you think you've forgotten something important?"

Eh?

After thinking about it carefully, Ning Feng couldn't figure out what he had forgotten, and looked up in confusion.

"……Um?"

Before he could even form a demonic expression, his eyes were immediately covered by a pair of small hands.

Guess who I am? If you guess right, I'll let you... hehehe...

Come again?

childish.

Ah!

How could I, a grown man, play such a childish game with you!

"Heh, you think you can fool me with that? What's there to guess? You're just..."

His confident aura was unmistakable, and Ning Feng spoke decisively:

"Cecilia!"

Stop hiding, the little angels have already shown their wings!

【………】

It may be childish, but it's just right for adults.

How did you discover it?

Hehehehe... Huh?

Hearing the confusion in the cold voice, Ning Feng was stunned for a moment.

Really?

"No, if it really were her, it should have been a 'humph.'"

snort!

Hearing the cold snort in his heart, Ning Feng nodded and said:

"Yes, that's it."

Okay, you're right, but unfortunately you guessed wrong, so you can't do anything to me~

[Also, you've really forgotten something.]

The demon blindfolded the contractor and whispered in his ear:

Aren't you really curious about the next level requirements?

Chapter 278 Changes (Second Update)

The devil whispers in your ear, tempting your contractor to step into the abyss...

This development did not occur.

"You finally couldn't hold back anymore."

Ning Feng was not surprised when he heard the devil's temptation; instead, he shrugged with a hint of smugness.

"I've been wondering how long you'll keep holding it in."

Wow, what's wrong with you? You really are the type who likes to leave people hanging, making them come begging to you when they can't take it anymore!

"........."

I have a feeling you're making a suggestive joke?

Ning Feng wasn't sure if Ariana was really being suggestive or if it was just something she said unintentionally, but that wasn't the point.

Every word this guy utters can be directly steered to that point, so even if it's a misjudgment, it's definitely not considered collateral damage.

The principle of "presumption of guilt" applies here, and it applies very strongly!

"Just say it directly, don't sound like some bitter woman from somewhere."

Something feels off.

Okay, okay~ You're starting to criticize me again. It wasn't when you were begging me; back then you called me "sweetie."

[Sobbing]

Ha ha.

Releasing her grip, Ariana hugged Ning Feng's neck from behind, nuzzled her cheek against his hair, and said with a smile:

【Well! You're a jerk, but I'm a good woman, so I'll generously forgive you!】

I've already forgiven you, so why won't you admit your mistake?

Nice punch!

Ning Feng merely sneered at this, showing no concern whatsoever.

How could I, Ning, be a scumbag?

All I wanted was to give them a home.

How can you call him a scumbag? He's just too gentle.

……

The two chatted and laughed as they walked through the sacred hall without any respect.

Whether in the oldest legends or as a miraculous place transformed by saints, the Secret Place of the Holy Word is a solemn and sacred site.

Here the lost find answers, pilgrims pray to their gods, and extraordinary beings unite; here no one ever flirts.

But Ning Feng didn't care, instinctively lacking the respect he should have for this place.

He held the Watcher City in high esteem because of its past contributions to the survival of humanity, not because of its power or its antiquity.

Moreover, Ning Feng had an even stranger feeling about this occasion that seemed to have a special connection with him.

It seems that this is how it should be; this place was never meant to be respected.

He didn't care, and Ariana cared even less.

If their relationship weren't still developing and they hadn't broken through the final barrier, she would have loved to have a forbidden battle right here and now...

After all, just thinking about doing something so blasphemous in such a setting is already quite arousing!

Suppressing her surging emotions, Ariana abruptly changed the subject, saying:

Have you noticed the changes that occurred after your several advancements?

Variety?

Ning Feng stopped walking and looked at his palm.

With slender, long fingers and distinct knuckles, even without considering Ning Feng's appearance, his hands alone could garner a large following among some people.

These clean hands seemed unchanged from the past, but Ning Feng knew that wasn't the case.

In his eyes, his hands looked different.

The fingertips became sharp, and terrifying, ferocious barbs protruded from the fingers, making the entire palm both beautiful and powerful.

Those are the claws of a demon.

In the process of transforming from a human into a half-succubus and continuously exploring and deepening his half-bloodline, his body had already begun to change.

Your body is indeed moving closer to the devil, but you know I'm talking about more than that.

"Yes, I understand."

Even without Ariana's reminder, Ning Feng knew that the changes she spoke of went far beyond the most superficial aspects.

"The bigger change is in personality, or rather, in the soul."

That's right~

After gaining power, Ning Feng's way of doing things has been constantly changing.

Influenced by his past experiences and education, he has always adhered to the principle of justice in his actions.

But now, after experiencing countless battles, and witnessing depravity, struggle, and betrayal, his views have changed.

If a division must be made, based on the settings of games I've played before, Ning Feng's faction has shifted somewhat.

Ning Feng has transformed from a staunchly lawful and just Watchman into a lawful and neutral Watchman.

Ning Feng believed that the transformation was partly influenced by the demon bloodline.

He still firmly believes in justice, but he is no longer as kind as he used to be.

If it were the old him, he would never have so easily accepted the idea of ​​manipulating Kalan as a pawn, let alone proactively setting up a backup plan within the other's soul.

Ning Feng now understands only one thing: in many situations, the morality of the means is not that important.

That was just a means, nothing more.

Whether you like it or not, you are moving closer to the abyss, and if you continue to advance, this change will continue.

Every miracle comes at a price; this is a path of no return.

"I can indeed feel the restlessness in my heart many times, and hear the evil whispers deep within my blood..."

The chaotic and evil thoughts originating from the source of evil constantly interfered with his judgment.

but……

"I admit that it did have some impact on me, but that was all."
