Chapter 869: Brothers Unexpectedly Share the Same Taste
This group of succubi numbered around a dozen. Each one was dressed provocatively, wearing only a few pieces of cloth or leather to cover the most essential areas. Some of them didn’t even bother with clothing, leaving their crucial parts shamelessly exposed. Because of this, their figures were fully on display for everyone to see.
Although these creatures were considered demons, their body size and features were remarkably similar to humans. The only differences were the pair of horns on their heads, the small black wings on their backs, and the long tails trailing behind them. Otherwise, their other features were much like those of humans. What was particularly frustrating was that their figures were generally far superior to those of human females.
Not only were their chests more ample, their waists more slender, and their hips curvier, but they seemed to possess naturally what human females often sought through cosmetic procedures. In essence, their appearances could be described as close to perfection.
Men found it difficult to resist the allure of succubi, and many human males were known to have succumbed to their temptations and fallen prey to them.
Xuelu and Suofa were hiding behind a large rock along with Robb. As soon as they spotted the group of succubi, Suofa immediately extended her hands to cover Robb’s eyes. Although she knew Robb was quite strong, she didn’t want to take any chances of him being enchanted by the succubi.
After all, even the strongest of men could potentially meet their downfall under such enticing circumstances. Vigilance was a must.
Robb was tempted to make a sarcastic comment, but he refrained from speaking as it might alert the succubi to their presence. Instead, he held back his urge to comment.
However, Suofa’s attempt to shield Robb’s eyes lasted for barely a couple of seconds before Xuelu suddenly reached out, pulling Suofa’s hands away and allowing Robb to regain his sight. Xuelu had a mischievous grin on her face as she pointed towards the scantily clad succubi, indicating, “Look, look, there’s something exciting to see.”
In moments like this, Xuelu’s playfulness made her quite endearing. Robb shot her a glance that seemed to say, “You’re fantastic,” and eagerly examined the succubi’s figures.
Suofa felt somewhat annoyed by Xuelu’s actions. She reached out to cover Robb’s eyes again, but Xuelu firmly held onto Suofa’s hand and the two of them started playfully wrestling. In no time, Xuelu managed to overpower Suofa, pinning her to the ground and holding her hands behind her back. Then, Xuelu triumphantly stepped on Suofa’s back and extended her hand to cover Robb’s eyes once more.
At this point, covering Robb’s eyes seemed unnecessary. He had already taken a good look at the succubi, appreciating their alluring forms.
Suofa: “…”
Alright, the succubi hadn’t used their enchantment abilities yet, so it seemed Robb hadn’t fallen under their spell. Suofa could only console herself with that thought.
The succubi passed by the concealed group without incident. Both Robb and Chris’ teams remained still, not wanting to reveal themselves prematurely. As the succubi walked past, none of the hidden individuals made any sudden movements. However, just as the group of succubi passed the area where the teams were hiding, the last succubus suddenly stopped and called out to the others ahead, “You all go ahead. I forgot something and need to go back to get it.”
The succubus in front chuckled and waved her hand dismissively, allowing the last succubus to turn back and retrace her steps, disappearing into the distance.
The succubus who claimed to have forgotten something turned around and walked back towards the stone where the group was hiding.
Robb’s party remained quiet, but Chris, who was hiding behind another stone nearby, suddenly leaped out. He brandished his shield and with a “thud,” struck the back of the succubus’ head.
The succubus let out a pitiful moan and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Robb: “Wow!”
Chris shot Robb a side glance, somewhat exasperated by his surprise. Then, he glanced at the direction where the group of succubi had departed. To his relief, he noticed that the others hadn’t turned back. It seemed they were unaware that one of their own had been incapacitated. Chris sighed in relief, dragging the succubus behind the rock.
Robb: “Chris, my man, I never knew you were into this sort of thing.”
Chris: “???”
Suofa quickly covered Robb’s mouth and tried to intervene: “He didn’t say anything.”
Unfortunately, Suofa only focused on covering Robb’s mouth and forgot about Xuelu. She got up from the ground and teased, “Chris, you’re quite the renowned adventurer in the guild. Who would have thought you enjoy capturing succubi for some sinful play? You really can’t judge a book by its cover.”
Chris: “…”
He had to hold back from saying something he might regret. With great effort, he managed to resist blurting out, “I’m not into capturing succubi for that type of play. I’m not that twisted. I’m attracted to human women.”
Robb chimed in, “Some people are attracted to human women too, but that doesn’t stop them from using things like pudding, pizza, or even fish mouths for entertainment. It doesn’t mean they’re perverse. It’s just curiosity driving them. Besides, even if someone is a bit eccentric, what’s wrong with that? So what if a man has peculiar tastes?”
Chris felt a bit dizzy from the conversation. What were they even talking about? No, he couldn’t engage in this conversation any further. It was too absurd.
Despite Xuelu and Robb teasing him with nonsensical remarks, Chris didn’t like being impolite to women. He decided to ignore Xuelu’s playful comments and pretend he didn’t hear them. He glared at Robb and said, “Priest, we are embarking on a great adventure, searching for the long-lost Demon King City. On this heroic journey, I hope you can be more serious and composed, and refrain from discussing such unreliable matters.”
Robb shrugged, “Sure, sure, you’re right.”
Afterwards, Chris lowered his voice and leaned closer to Robb’s ear, saying, “As for the usage of things like pudding, pizza, or fish mouths, I’ll educate you slowly when there are no ladies around.”
Robb, “Huh? I didn’t expect you, with your imposing appearance, to be… Well… Forget it, forget it. Men don’t criticize other men in this area.”
At that moment, everyone gathered around, observing the succubus lying unconscious on the ground.
Chris said, “Succubi are intelligent creatures that understand language, so they can be used for interrogation. I captured her to inquire about whether there truly is a Demon King City within this crevice. However, as you all know, succubi pose a significant threat to men. Even adventurers of our level lack the confidence to resist their charm spells. So, the men here should temporarily retreat behind for the women to interrogate her.”
With that, after he finished speaking, he led Gorda, Jike, and the members of his team, including the hunter and the assassin, to move behind the rocks. However, the priest from his team remained behind, displaying confidence, “I don’t need to leave. I have strong mental resistance, and succubi’s charm spells won’t affect me.”
“Coincidentally, I also have strong mental resistance,” Robb said. “Perhaps I don’t need to leave either.”
Upon hearing Robb’s words, everyone in Chris’ group cast skeptical glances at him, thinking, “This guy is obviously a weak priest, not your typical hero. Plus, he’s been acting lovey-dovey with Xuelu and Suofa along the way, quite susceptible to their charm. He’s the type most likely to be affected by their spells.”
