Chapter 90: The Alluring Body Fragrance

Wanting to preserve Eudora’s life by directly converting her into a demon species was, in fact, much simpler than eliminating the influence of the demon factor.

All that was needed was to strengthen her physique to ensure the girl could hold on until the end.

“Cooperative Contract.”

An invisible connection extended from the black-haired girl, precisely penetrating the delicate and frail body of Eudora, causing her faltering breath to suddenly stagnate, then, in a burst, it shot up!

Although the girl’s level and attributes were quite pathetic, meaning the enhancement limit of the “Cooperative Contract” was also rather ordinary, this was enough to handle the burden required for her race conversion.

Of course, while the “Cooperative Contract” was convenient, it was ultimately just a commonly used attribute-enhancing skill in times of war, which did not have any HP recovery effect. Now, though Eudora could endure the changes in her body, the damage she sustained earlier hadn’t just disappeared.

Thus…

“Basic Healing.”

A glimmer of golden light fell from the girl’s fingertip, slowly sinking into her flat, unchanging chest.

Once again, Eudora was just an ordinary person who hadn’t even reached level 5—realistically speaking, she might only be at the ultimate bottom level of level 1, considering her young age and weak physique.

Before the demonization was completed, even with the boost from the “Cooperative Contract,” her HP was still quite limited; therefore, Vilyric specifically chose a nearly unused, basic healing spell that didn’t even count as first-tier magic to prevent negative effects brought on by excessive healing.

Almost visibly, the girl’s pale face quickly spread with color, even gradually turning a rather unusual crimson, and the dark purple patterns spreading across her body began to solidify, although it still seemed to exceed the healing amount a bit, overall, it should still be within a bearable range.

However, as Eudora’s demon-like horns continued to grow, her hair visibly transformed into a light pink. Especially when the small bat-like wings sprouted from her back and her increasingly long black tail appeared before the eyes of Miss Vilyric, who maintained the “Cooperative Contract” and quietly observed the girl’s state, she finally became aware that something was off.

Hey, wait a minute, doesn’t this look a bit like…

“Gulp…”

Strangely, a sound of someone swallowing saliva, carrying a touch of sensuality, rang out beside her.

“V-Vilyric… has the temperature in the room risen? It’s winter, so why do I feel a bit hot…?”

“Eh…? Huh?!”

Accompanied by a gradually strange moan, Tilysha, startled by the unusual tone, quickly turned around, only to find the blue-haired girl had somehow crept closer to her.

Her slightly inexperienced face had turned a bit red, her gaze appeared somewhat hazy, and her nimble pink tongue instinctively licked her cherry lips, releasing waves of the girl’s body fragrance as she breathed.

Wow, no way!

This Eudora is actually a Succubus!

Perhaps as a result of her transformation from human to demon, an excessive overflow of healing prompted the girl’s body to emit an abundance of peculiar… indescribable pheromones. Plus, with Tilysha enhancing Eudora’s attributes through the “Cooperative Contract,” it naturally intensified its effects, unknowingly affecting Tilysha, who was breathing in a large amount of the Succubus scent in the same room and had relatively weak resistance.

“Hehe… Miss Vilyric is so cute… fragrant and soft… Wait, why is my heart racing so fast? What is this impulse…?”

It seemed that Tilysha wasn’t completely defenseless against this either; she quickly realized something was wrong. But to be honest, if impulses could be easily overcome, they wouldn’t be called human instincts. Moreover, as the type of demon best at stirring people’s hearts, the pheromones they emit at such critical life moments naturally hold exceptionally powerful effects.

The key… still lay in Tilysha’s own mindset.

The evidence was that, although she seemed a bit hesitant, the blue-haired girl’s slightly flushed face, paired with her youthful vitality, continued to draw closer to the bewildered Priestess, their juicy cherry lips almost touching.

At that moment.

“Hey, are you… a bit too dismissive of me?”

A fair, slender jade hand suddenly caught Tilysha by the collar from behind, lifting the girl, who was driven by impulses, much like picking up a little chick, accompanied by a chilling warning that stirred the air.

“What do you want?!”

“Eep!”

“Whoa!”

As if suddenly doused with cold water, Tilysha, who had been enchanted by the ambiguous atmosphere, and the shocked Priestess both reacted simultaneously. The former snapped back, flailing her limbs in the air, hastily explaining.

“Eh! No, it’s not like that! I wasn’t planning to do anything! It’s just that Miss Vilyric is too cute; I couldn’t help… wanting to get a little closer!”

“Just a little closer…?”

Repeating the flustered blue-haired girl’s defense, Miss Little Dragon’s cold expression became even more peculiar.

Her delicate nose twitched slightly in the air, and the silence lingered in the room for several seconds. Eventually, the Little Dragon let go of the blue-haired girl but not without a hint of dissatisfaction, pinching her soft cheeks hard several times, leaving several bright red marks.

“Hmph… considering the external interference, I’ll let this slide, but are you sober now?”

“Ow! That hurts! I’m sober! Completely sober!!!”

*Cough cough…*

Once Miss Little Dragon finished teaching the careless girl a lesson for crossing boundaries, she turned back, and the still slightly awkward Priestess pretended to clear her throat and took on a lofty stance to give some pointers.

“Um, Xiao Guang, Tilysha probably didn’t mean any harm; don’t be too angry. After all, she lacks the abnormal resistance we have…”

“……”

The Little Dragon’s dazzling golden slit eyes slightly turned, meeting the Priestess’s silver-blue gaze for a moment. Just as someone anticipated that Xiao Guang might be about to erupt, she merely pouted in mild dissatisfaction.

“Even if it was due to external influences, if she wasn’t hiding certain improper desires, how could those suddenly come out in such a moment? We’re all girls. Why didn’t she come after me or this Succubus? Master just speaks too kindly, causing others to develop some unrealistic fantasies. You really should pay attention to that.”

Saying that, the blonde girl turned and waved at the now blushing and dejected Tilysha.

“What are you still dawdling for? Do you want to stay here and breathe in that scent a little longer? Come on, I’ll help you deal with it outside. Hmph, you look like a silly monkey…”

“Ugh… got it…”

By the time the two girls disappeared outside, Vilyric finally snapped out of her slight shock, the awkwardness on her face gradually fading as she looked at the door that Miss Little Dragon had casually closed, revealing a slight smile.

Incredible, I didn’t expect Xiao Guang to have become so insightful and capable of controlling her emotions without even realizing it. If it were the her who just arrived in this world, without Vilyric’s intervention, this Bright Hotel might not have survived…

The Priestess hadn’t forgotten the day she first met Liliya and the others. Little Dragon had almost swept the army below to ashes in a fury over a single arrow aimed at her by Fiery Blossom.

This child has truly grown a lot; not only has she matured, but she’s also made new friends. Surely… even if one day she were to leave her protection, she’d be able to survive smoothly in this world.

The girl thought reassuringly, and as for the warning Miss Little Dragon had given before leaving, it was soon thrown to the back of her mind ~

What a terribly wicked woman.
