The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Only the rising steam above her head indicated that she wasn't trying to suffocate herself...

After a long while, she stirred slightly, revealing the words that had been hidden under the pillow:

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Why did he still stick it out..."

She jumped up abruptly, her face flushed, and solemnly took out the book that had been hidden away.

I opened the title page and saw the cursive title above—

Demon Ecology - The Fusion with Elven Bloodline

Snapped!

Then she quickly closed it again, maintaining this position, while Shirin's expression kept changing.

There was an indescribable... allure mixed with her shyness.

……

As Ning Feng stepped into the elevator, he stared in disbelief at his reflection in the glass mirror.

It was a face that, despite lacking any acting skills, still radiated a gentle smile.

Ning Feng gently touched his lips, chuckled, and shook his head.

How embarrassing to laugh like that!

winter.

Ning Feng's shoulders slumped, but he wasn't surprised at all, not even bothering to show any surprise.

A fun person might be late, but they will never be absent.

"I'm truly impressed! I'm really amazed!"

As expected, the other party did not disappoint Ning Feng.

"Good job, kid! You really went for it! Well done! Hahaha!"

With her tail constantly slapping Ning Feng's shoulder, Ariana's expression could no longer be described as one of pure joy.

Her joy was practically overflowing!

To shut up.

You shameless woman, do you really find this kind of fun?!

It took the black cat a while to stop chuckling. It nudged Ning Feng's cheek with its pink paw pads and asked with a grin:

"So you've finally come to your senses? You're no longer hesitant and timid?"

Dog, you've changed. You've become satisfying!

Ning Feng was prepared for her teasing, and instead of getting angry, he thought about it seriously and replied:

"I guess I've come to terms with it."

Stepping out of the elevator, Ning Feng looked straight ahead and walked straight ahead.

"Fate doesn't really give us many choices; we don't know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first."

Ning Feng didn't say what kind of person Li Tiandu was, and what kind of joke fate had played on him. But the impact on him was actually quite significant.

"I can't expect tomorrow, so let's make the most of the present."

There are actually many things I want to pursue, things I don't want to let go of...

He would rather have pursued something and failed, or missed it because of hesitation, than regret the latter.

Facing one's desires is not a sign of depravity.

Giving up and letting the tides of fate wash you ashore without resistance is true depravity.

"Speaking of which, you actually know how to exploit loopholes!"

Suddenly, the black cat interrupted Ning Feng's remark, clicking its tongue in amazement:

I love you so much right now!

Hearing this, Ning Feng laughed, knowing what she meant by "loophole".

"I didn't crawl there willingly; I asked her to kiss me first, so..."

"If I kiss her, the contract will naturally not be formed."

Ning Feng took out the paper from his pocket, looked at the intact contract, and chuckled.

Turning her head, she met a pair of smiling, scarlet eyes and whispered:

"Let's leave that for later."

……

……

"...You've arrived."

Margaret leaned back on the hospital bed and smiled at her teammates as they entered.

The wind blew in from outside, stirring her current...

Gray hair like withered grass.

Chapter Ninety-Three: As Always

"team leader……"

Jiang Wan and Chu Yu paused, hesitating the moment they saw the person clearly, unable to connect the patient before them with the team leader they remembered.

Dry.

gray.

Her once fiery red short hair had lost its luster and now looked like withered grass.

However, her skin was not as dry as her hair; on the contrary, it was full of vitality. Her figure had not changed, and overall, apart from looking a little weak, she was fine.

Although his appearance hadn't changed much, his sharp temperament now seemed much softer, and the former sharpness and coldness were no longer visible.

She went from being a powerful warrior to an ordinary woman who could be seen anywhere.

"Young man, you've arrived."

"Yeah, I brought these two who were fighting in bed over here."

On the contrary, the conversation between Margaret and Yun Shuchang was indeed relaxed and comfortable, without the slightest hint of strangeness.

"What are you waiting for? Come in."

Turning back with a smile and a wave, Yun Shuchang sat down directly on the edge of Margaret's bed, even reaching out to touch her gray hair, clicking her tongue in amazement:

"Okay, you've saved money on hair dyeing. By the way, how long will it take to recover?"

Seeing the two interacting as usual, Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment before going in and standing by the bedside to observe them.

Turning her head slightly, Margaret dodged her vice-captain's descending hand and pursed her lips:

"We'll see. Anyway, according to the doctor's estimate, it will probably take about three months."

Chu Yu understood the implied meaning and tilted his head to ask:

"And during this time, what about our team?"

Vice-captain Yun Shuchang answered the question for her, smiling as she said:

"We're on holiday!"

"Although the process was not good, our mission was ultimately successful. In addition, because there were wounded, the higher-ups gave us some free time."

"Thank God! Those office workers still have at least a tiny bit of humanity."

She moved her arm, which was wrapped in a special plaster cast, and turned her head to look at Margaret, who was smiling slightly, and teased:

"Hey Captain, why don't you take advantage of this precious vacation to find someone to date? We agreed before that I'd introduce you to some guys!"

laugh.

Margaret gave Yun Shuchang, who had become lazy due to the holiday, a disdainful push, and laughed dismissively:

"You want to introduce me to someone? I'm not interested in your type!"

"Besides, before you introduce me to men, you should find someone suitable for yourself first."

With her expression frozen, Yun Shuchang straightened up and looked at the captain who had reopened old wounds with a resentful gaze.

She said nothing, but it seemed she said everything.

Everything is understood without words.

But Margaret ignored her completely and joked:

"Don't try that on me, we're different."

"I'm not in a hurry, it doesn't matter whether I look for one or not. Your family has been pressuring you quite a bit, hasn't they?"

With a pout, Yun Shuchang slumped down, turning her head away from the hurtful woman.

Ignoring her, Margaret looked at Jiang Wan and the other woman, who had calmed down, and said:

"Although there will be no restrictions on you during this period, I still suggest that you work together and continue to build rapport."

"The side effects have reduced my strength to the level of an ordinary person, but the recovery is gradual, and I may be able to rejoin the team soon."

"As for that mandatory task, the task rewards will be distributed according to the old rules, everything is the same as usual."

Jiang Wan remained silent after entering the room, listening quietly without saying a word.

When she heard that the mission had been successful, she wanted to ask some questions, but she remained silent.

Looking at the two silent young team members and the seasoned vice-captain, a strange light flashed in Margaret's eyes, and she said:

"I will stay in Bincheng for treatment during this period. I will be transferred after my condition is completely stable. If you need anything, you can come to this room to find me."

"I'm a little tired now. You guys go ahead, I have other things to take care of."
