Seeing her pitiful, remorseful appearance, the anger Gu Chuan felt due to the "attack" had long since dissipated.
Instead, there was a stronger, more malicious urge to "bully" this ignorant, adorable little thing.
He cleared his throat, and his face once again adopted a serious expression, full of the authority of a "judge."
"Since you have already deeply realized your mistake."
"So, let's talk about the specific standards for apologies."
"Eh?"
"As a woman who almost caused me to be childless and is deeply sinful," Gu Chuan slowly announced in an unquestionable tone full of "judge's" authority, "you must apologize in the highest standard, in the way that best shows your sincerity and can quell my anger."
"for example……"
His gaze slowly moved down from Hai Meng's pretty face, which was filled with shame and unease. Finally, it stopped on her snow-white, flat abdomen, which was barely covered by mysterious black lines and exuded a sense of absolute territory.
"—First, show me your snow-white little belly so I can properly check if there are any dangerous or prohibited items hidden inside."
"!!!!!!"
Hai Meng's face turned so red in an instant that it looked like it could bleed!
She was filled with shame and anger, yet dared not resist. She could only watch helplessly as that hateful, wicked "demon king" used his aggressive, burning hands to wantonly roam, explore, and examine her most tender, flat stomach…
"The interest we collected was almost 2.9%."
After enjoying the exquisite and exhilarating touch for a long time, Gu Chuan finally prepared to get up, completely satisfied.
However, just as he was about to release his control over Hai Meng—
A pair of soft, yet firm and unyielding white hands suddenly wrapped around his neck and hugged him tightly!
"—Don't leave."
Hai Meng's trembling voice, tinged with a sob yet filled with a burning desire that even she herself was unaware of, gently rang in his ear.
Gu Chuan was slightly taken aback.
He could clearly feel the hot, sensitive body beneath him, which had become incredibly sensitive from the "interrogation" just now, trembling uncontrollably and violently.
A deadly fragrance, ten times more concentrated and a hundred times more intense than her previous S-rank "succubus" ability, filled with the most primal and purest stirrings of life, called "love," erupted with a deafening roar at this moment.
161 The allure of backlash and the awakening of love
The moment that deadly fragrance, brimming with the most primal stirrings of life, erupted, Gu Chuan sensed something was amiss.
He could clearly feel a strange, pink energy, full of "desire" and "demand," surging continuously from the hot, delicate body beneath him. Then, like living vines, it tried to entwine, erode, and even... dominate a key "weapon" in his body that was currently in a state of "absolute defense"!
"……I see."
A knowing glint flashed in Gu Chuan's eyes.
囷2)灵（二）兒氵陵倭“This, is this the true use of your ability?”
Looking into the pair of dazed, purple eyes beneath him, eyes completely lost in passion and shame, he instantly understood everything.
The succubus's power isn't simply about arousing desire in others. Rather, it's about absorbing and controlling that desire after it's been aroused—a ruthless and dangerous form of two-way exploitation!
However, just as Gu Chuan was preparing to once again unleash the power of the "Dominator" to completely dispel this unruly "foreign energy"—
"ah--!"
Kitagawa Kaimu, however, was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, letting out a scream full of shame, anger and terror!
She suddenly shoved Gu Chuan away, and then, like a gust of wind, tumbled and crawled into the bathroom, locking the door tightly from the inside!
"..."
Gu Chuan looked at the tightly closed bathroom door, which seemed to be trembling, and shook his head helplessly.
It seems they went a little too far.
……
When the two finally left the hotel, it was already completely dark outside.
The city's neon lights began to illuminate, one by one.
On the way back, the atmosphere was strangely silent.
Kitagawa Kaimu was completely devoid of the liveliness and carefree spirit she had when she arrived. She changed back into her original clothes, and her signature blonde hair replaced the violet wig once again.
However, she seemed to have all her "vitality" drained away.
She kept her head down the whole time, her hands tightly clutching the hem of her clothes. Her eyes, which were always full of sunshine, now looked like those of a child who had done something wrong, afraid to say anything to Gu Chuan.
Normally, this hot girl, who can get along with anyone and is a social butterfly with MAX social skills, couldn't even utter a complete sentence at this moment.
Gu Chuan, on the other hand, seemed much more composed.
He walked leisurely beside her, his hands in his pockets, as if everything that had just happened in that room filled with ambiguity and surprise was just a harmless little prank.
He turned his head and looked at the blonde girl beside him, who seemed to want to bury her face in the ground, and broke the silence.
"So, what exactly is the nature of your succubus ability?"
"..." Hai Meng's body trembled violently, and she lowered her head even further.
"It's...it's like what you see..." she murmured in a voice barely audible, "It can...it can transform into a succubus...and then, arouse...arouse other people's...desires..."
"And then?" Gu Chuan pressed. "After arousing desire, what do you do? Control the other person?"
“…Mmm.” Hai Meng’s voice carried a barely perceptible tremor and a hint of sobbing.
"It sounds like a very convenient, but also very dangerous, ability." Gu Chuan's tone became serious. "Hai Meng, I must remind you. This kind of ability, which directly affects the mind and desires of others, is often accompanied by huge risks."
"It's like a double-edged sword without a hilt. While you use it to hurt others, it can easily backfire on you."
"Therefore, I suggest that you be very careful before using it."
Gu Chuan's words, like the most precise arrow, struck Hai Meng hard at the most chaotic, vulnerable, and unwilling place in her heart.
Of course she knew that this ability would have a "backlash"!
When the system bestowed this ability upon her, it used cold, emotionless language to mark that hidden, fatal additional clause—
[Warning: When a succubus uses her powers on someone she truly loves or is attracted to, she will be 100% affected by "reverse charm".]
Therefore, the uncontrollable, surging tide of emotion she experienced in the hotel room just now, which almost completely consumed her, was not simply a "power backlash"!
Rather, it was her own heart that resonated with Gu Chuan, the person she truly fell for, in the most genuine, honest, and uncontrollable way!
No...no!
Hai Meng was frantically refuting herself in her heart.
I...I didn't fall for that guy!
I...I just...I just feel a little bit of special affection for him because he saved my life!
Yes! It's just... a crush!
And...and he is quite handsome...and has a...very good physique...
Although her personality can be a bit eccentric, she's mostly gentle...
His abilities are so strong, almost monstrous, incredibly powerful, and give me a great sense of security...
And...he really understands me. He knows I like cosplay and even spent the whole afternoon with me at the anime convention...
On one hand, she desperately denied her feelings in her heart.
On one hand, she uncontrollably listed out all the fatal advantages that made that man so irresistible that any girl would fall for him.
Her heart was completely engulfed in a chaotic, contradictory, sweet yet painful struggle.
Just as she was feeling dizzy and distracted due to the intense emotional impact—
A piercing, urgent car horn suddenly exploded in her ears!
An out-of-control red car was hurtling toward the sidewalk where she was standing at high speed!
"--careful!"
Just as the car was about to strike her slender body at the last second—
A strong, powerful, and reassuring arm suddenly reached out from the side, pulling her forcefully into a warm, firm, and familiar embrace with an irresistible and domineering strength!
boom--!
The red sedan, almost grazing the hem of her clothes, slammed violently into the roadside guardrail, producing a huge, heart-stopping roar!
"——Kitagawa Uimu!"
A rebuke filled with lingering fear, worry, and undisguised, angry outburst exploded above her head!
"What are you thinking when you walk like that?! Don't you even know to look for cars when crossing the street?!"
Hai Meng was terrified.
She stared blankly up at the man who was holding her tightly in his arms.
His handsome face, which always carried a hint of languor and composure, was now slightly distorted by extreme worry and anger.
His golden eyes no longer held any mockery or teasing. Instead, they held only the purest, most genuine, undisguised, and deepest concern for her safety.
At this moment, Hai Meng finally, with unparalleled clarity, confirmed it.
My own heart, pounding like a drum.
My own body, which had become hot and trembling from his embrace.
I felt wronged by his rebuke (six), yet, uncontrollably, I also felt a sweet, contradictory feeling...
All of this has absolutely nothing to do with that damned ability called "succubus".
This is simply the most genuine, honest, and uncontrollable reaction of an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl named Kitagawa Kaimu when facing the one and only man she truly loves, named Gu Chuan…
—My heart fluttered.
162 The warmth of home after falling in love
The out-of-control red sedan was eventually towed away by traffic police and an ambulance that arrived in time. A traffic accident that nearly resulted in tragedy thus came to a close without serious harm.
But Gu Chuan still didn't let go of the arm that was tightly holding Hai Meng, an arm full of protectiveness.
He could clearly feel the girl's soft body, still trembling violently in his arms, and her heart, pounding wildly like a deer's, due to lingering fear and excitement.
"...I'll take you home."
After a long silence, Gu Chuan finally spoke in an unquestionable tone, with a hint of lingering fear and a serious expression.
"Huh? No...no need..." Hai Meng instinctively wanted to refuse. Her mind was in complete turmoil, and she had no idea what kind of expression to use to face this man who had just lashed out at her.
“No, it’s not necessary.” Gu Chuan’s tone was resolute. “Today, you were both cosplaying and awakening a new ability, which took a huge toll on your mental and physical strength. In addition, your succubus ability is very unstable, and I’m worried that it will affect your mental state.”
"Therefore, I must watch you get home safely with my own eyes."
Faced with Gu Chuan's domineering and irresistible concern, Hai Meng ultimately gave up resisting.
Her face flushed, and like a docile kitten, she nodded gently.
The two of them silently boarded the tram home.
On the tram, Hai Meng kept her head down the whole time, not daring to look Gu Chuan in the eye. And Gu Chuan, unusually, did not tease her with words anymore. He just stood quietly beside her, using his body to shield her from the crowded people around them.
It wasn't until after getting off the tram and walking on the quiet, familiar street leading to Hai Meng's home that the oppressive and awkward atmosphere finally began to dissipate.
Hai Meng, it seems, has finally recovered from that intense emotional shock.
Her powerful social skills as a top-tier hottie once again gave her the upper hand.
She regained her former liveliness and carefree spirit.
She began, like a mischievous kitten, using all sorts of seemingly unintentional, small actions to test and tease the man beside her, whom she both loved and feared.
After a while, she would pretend to be unsteady on her feet, and her body would uncontrollably bump into Gu Chuan.
A little while later, as the two walked side by side, their arms swinging naturally, she would use her little finger to seemingly unintentionally and gently hook Gu Chuan's large, reassuring fingers.
Once, twice, three times...
When Hai Meng's fingertips, for the fourth time, brushed lightly across his fingers as if carrying an electric current—
