Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 177: Self-Doubt
Connie had initially thought her dragon life was shrouded in darkness, with no hope for dragon descendants. Then Xi Wei suddenly said, “She can be forgiven”?
She didn’t hear or perhaps completely ignored everything else he said, only this one sentence.
Instantly, without a second thought, she agreed. “As long as Darling is willing to forgive Connie, Connie will do anything, anywhere!”
She tightly hugged Xi Wei’s thigh, and the tears streaming from her eyes instantly soaked his pants, rivaling the garden hose!
What the…
Did this little lecherous dragon misunderstand something?
And why is she driving a car even while crying sadly!
Xi Wei pursed his lips, suppressing the urge for Connie to break through his defenses, and said sternly, “We recently captured a succubus, but I’m not confident I can pry the information I want out of her. Do you have any ideas?”
“Darling wants to interrogate a prisoner?”
“You mean make her tell the truth?”
Connie looked up with her tear-blurred eyes, blinking pitifully at the man before her.
“That’s right, just tell the truth. My amazing Connie, you can figure this out, right? Keke…”
Xi Wei chuckled strangely and leaned down, gently pinching Connie’s chubby, pretty face.
“Mmm… let Connie think…”
“Connie knows too many Dragon Speech spells, it’s quite taxing… I need to search carefully, Darling, please wait a moment…”
The little lecherous dragon’s voice was somewhat muffled as her cheeks were pinched, but she offered no resistance, letting Xi Wei pinch her.
At the same time, her azure eyes suddenly became vacant. Xi Wei guessed Connie was already searching her inherited memories.
A moment later, Connie’s eyes brightened again, and the tense expression on her face eased considerably.
“Darling, there’s a Dragon Speech called [Truth Compulsion] that can force a creature one rank weaker than oneself to speak the truth.”
“However, it’s not absolute. Matters sealed by gods cannot be revealed, and things not in the creature’s memory cannot be revealed either.”
Connie counted on her soft fingers, listing them out like treasured possessions.
Xi Wei’s heart leaped with joy upon hearing this.
He hadn’t expected there to be something like this.
Although this little lecherous dragon was a bit lecherous, her knowledge of dragon lore was quite comprehensive.
Most importantly, she seemed to know everything!
She always managed to surprise him when he needed it.
Like Doraemon to Nobita Nobi.
“Excellent, excellent, that works perfectly. That succubus is much lower in rank than you, she can be completely controlled by your Dragon Speech.”
With that, Xi Wei, amidst Connie’s startled cries, scooped her up, tucked her under his arm, and headed for the conference hall.
The succubus should be waking up around now.
However, there were several System Guards around.
He wasn’t worried about any accidents.
The succubus Elizabeth woke up even earlier than Xi Wei had imagined.
The various buffs below her HP Bar were merely a simple reference.
After all, this was a completely realistic world.
As a creature’s physical state changed, the duration of various buffs changed dynamically.
As soon as Elizabeth woke up, she subconsciously surveyed her surroundings.
The long conference table was made of genuine black fir, exuding solemnity and grandeur. It was a very common furniture material in human fortresses.
The conference hall was very plain, with no other decorations except for an oil painting of a knight raising a long sword to behead an enemy.
Several black flags with golden eagles hung on the obsidian walls.
Elizabeth recognized these flags.
They were the royal flags of the Winter Kingdom. And to be flying the royal flag inside the conference hall could only mean this was the King of Winter’s palace.
Elizabeth felt it was unbelievable.
She had thought a king’s palace should be resplendent with gold and jade, or at least filled with luxurious decorations.
Even a conference room would be extremely extravagant.
However, the conference room of the King of Winter before her seemed excessively plain.
Was this king that poor?
Clearly, his citizens looked healthy and delicious, not emaciated.
After observing her surroundings, her gaze fell upon the guards in the conference hall. These guards stood motionless, holding long swords and shields.
If not for the occasional glint of killing intent in their helmets, Elizabeth might have mistaken them for statues.
From their aura, these guards were already close to Tier 4, even more powerful than her, comparable to Horned Demon Commanders she had brought.
Elizabeth guessed these guards must be the King of Winter’s elite forces.
As a succubus, causing trouble was almost an ingrained instinct, a part of her very blood.
Elizabeth pondered. If she could charm these four guards and create chaos within Winter Fort, perhaps she would have a chance to escape.
All demons are gamblers, without a doubt. Even with only a one-tenth chance of success, they would bet their entire fortune, just like the succubus Elizabeth now.
Carrying her seductive aura, even with her hands bound, she swayed her hips and waist to approach one of the guards.
“Oh, little brother, can you help me? My hands are tied so tightly, it hurts~ They’re all red~”
Elizabeth spoke with a fragrant breath, her eyes full of allure, shining with pink light, her seductive power operating at its peak.
But the guard before her showed no reaction.
“Loyalty to His Majesty, the King of Winter!”
The guard suddenly roared. His voice was like thunder, almost scaring Elizabeth into a leak.
“Wasting my effort. After all that, you’re just an idiot who doesn’t even know about love between men and women!”
Elizabeth snorted coldly and swayed her curvy waist to another guard.
“Little brother, can you untie me? Can you take me away from here? If you take me away, I’ll let you do anything~”
“Vigorously fight for His Majesty, the King of Winter! Kill!”
This guard’s roar was even louder.
Elizabeth: “…”
Elizabeth pursed her lips. In the guard’s eyes, hidden beneath his helmet, she saw no trace of confusion or lust.
However, the guard’s eyes had turned pink, indicating her charm had indeed worked, but this guard had no desire whatsoever.
How could a person devoid of desire be charmed?
“Another idiot! Does this King of Winter like finding idiots to be his subordinates so much?”
“Wait a minute, why is an idiot so powerful? Did the King of Winter… after his strength improved…”
Elizabeth bit her lower lip, and dark words like “human experimentation,” “raising gu,” and “brain removal” popped into her mind.
Damn it!
Is this King of Winter a pervert!
Elizabeth refused to believe it. She continued to charm the other two guards, exhausting herself, yet they completely ignored her. They didn’t even speak.
“Am I really a succubus?”
Elizabeth stood in front of a mirror, staring blankly at the succubus bat wings and the pointed heart-shaped black tail behind her.
Since being captured in Cyberi Town, the successive failures had made her harbor such an absurd question.
