Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

But no matter how much she resisted internally, when Zhen Shi extended his hand with a smile, wanting to shake hands with her, she still felt an overpowering and uncontrollable emotion.

"By the way, are you hungry? I bought some bok choy, pea tips, potato noodles, and fried tofu... Hmm, it seems a bit too vegetarian, my sister doesn't like meat much. Actually, we have chicken at home. I'm curious where you're from, can we be friends?"

"Can you tell me about yourself?"

"This sword looks really cool."

The three people who grew up under the tutelage of the demon tribe didn't completely extinguish their humanity. In fact, humanity is just a tool used by the demons to rule over them.

No matter if it's the most twisted Number One, the crazed Number Two, or Number Three, who hides a bloodthirsty side.

They all have weaknesses.

This weakness is there to keep them from becoming beings that have completely lost their humanity.

After all, once they completely lost their humanity, perhaps they would no longer be under control.

Creatures sewn together are such beings; those devoid of humanity are monsters even demons fear.

But it's also because they retained part of their humanity that, when faced with the sudden arrival of... a true kindness they had never felt before, Number Three felt somewhat lost.

After all, Zhen Shi was still just a student, a youth. In his eyes, youths don't need as many rules as adults when doing things.

So he simply grabbed Number Three's hand:

"Come on, try my cooking. Or do you not like it too vegetarian? The market isn't far from here; I can take you to buy some."

Number Three instantly pulled away from Zhen Shi's grasp. The moment he touched her, she remembered the feeling of being suddenly surrounded by the flames of the Fire Demon while training in the snow.

At that time, facing the bone-chilling cold, she was almost frozen to death.

She was hallucinating, thinking, if only there was a fire right now.

Later, the Fire Demon appeared and dispelled the coldness around her.

That demon, the most terrible of the seven demon emperors, who would scorch a soul with just a touch, became an angelic figure in the eyes of Number Three.

Of course, that good impression faded before long; the Fire Demon saved her only because he needed her alive.

But she could never forget the feeling of the warmth suddenly driving away the cold.

It was like a drowning person flailing in the water, finally grabbing onto something that allowed them to keep climbing upwards.

And just now, Zhen Shi's touch gave her that feeling.

Number Three, gripping the knife, became furiously angry:

"Annoying! So annoying! Ahhh, you sub-disaster-level dross and corrupt scum, I want to kill you! Show me an expression of fear! Let me end you with a single cut."

Zhen Shi was not afraid, but rather sad.

He had guessed some things.

This girl with the bun hairstyle had many scars on her body, the knife reeked of blood, and her swinging motion could even cause a storm.

Adding her attire and her manner of arrival... she was definitely a dangerous entity in the eyes of Zhou Baiyu.

Zhen Shi was no saint.

He could feel that the killing intent... wasn't thorough.

It was for this very reason that he firmly believed the girl didn't want to kill him, so seeing her contradictory actions now made him even sadder:

"I won't hurt you, you know."

Why reject people who are kind to you? Maybe in her world, those who are kind always have ulterior motives.

Thinking of such a past for the girl, Zhen Shi felt even more pity.

This compassion came from the heart, profoundly illustrating the saying, "Sincerity is the strongest finishing move."

Even Zhou Baiyu, the great deceiver, would have to admit that routines are no match for innate talent.

A single phrase from Zhen Shi suddenly made Number Three... hungry.

Not the hunger of a decaying kind that wants to gnaw, but the hunger of a human who wants to taste delicious food.

Zhen Shi's gaze brought a blurry face to her mind, as if a long time ago, there was also a very close and important person who looked at her with the same pity.

Her anger became fragile and laughable, like a deer pretending to be a wild beast, exposed.

Zhen Shi said:

"Although I don't know what you intend to do... Killing is easy for you, right? But, can you eat the meal I've prepared before you kill me?"

"My sister is waiting for me."

The greatsword in her hand seemed to have become hundreds of times heavier, and the girl suddenly felt, she couldn't lift it.

"Then... then I'll kill you after we've eaten! But I want fish!"

"Sure, I've just learned how to make fish soup recently."

As if knowing that the killing intention was merely a guise to protect oneself, knowing that the other party wouldn't truly make a move, Zhen Shi happily agreed, with joy unmasked on his face.

No. 3 was certainly no deer.

She was a Reverser trained by the seven Demon Emperors, a Demon King Hunter just like Zhou Shou.

But just as a great demon may be a demon to enemies, at home he might play the role of a well-behaved daughter, or a father who dotes on his daughter...

Humans have multiple sides to them, showing different aspects when facing different people.

Which side is shown often depends on what kind of person the other party is.

There indeed are people in this world who make everyone they meet feel purity and gentleness, and unconsciously... hide all their evil away.

Such people are rare, and Zhen Shi was one of them.

Far away in another time and space, the seven Demon Emperors awaited the results of No. 3's mission, yet the fortune of the human world... seemed much greater than the Demon Emperors had anticipated.

At that moment, No. 3's life opened up another path, she began to truly reverse course.

...

...

In Linxiang City, southern district.

Zhou Baiyu was investigating that case, about the story he had heard in the taxi.

The story had later spread on the internet, on TikTok, paired with the recent popular song "Missed Lover," that line "I'm sure I've said I love you centuries ago," the video of the ex-wife reincarnating into her daughter, continuing the former relationship with the "father," touched many people deeply.

But sometimes it's just like that, behind what people fear... often lies a reason that inflicts third-degree burns.

On the other hand, the stories that people find warm... may hide sinister evil that is creepy upon reflection.

Zhou Baiyu didn't know that Zhen Shi, who could trigger an S-level mission, might create a one-stop service of "triggering the mission, accepting the mission, completing the mission" on his own.

At that moment, his entire focus was on investigating the mission.

Through the video, Zhou Baiyu had made contact with the pair in the video, who were of an unknown relationship, either spouses or father and daughter.

He had also obtained the man's phone number through his investigation.

Right now, in a coffee shop in the southern district, Zhou Baiyu was chatting with this man.

"Do you know what you are talking about? I'm sure now... she is my wife."

"But what about your daughter?"

"My daughter is also her! They are the same person! She told me, she has retrieved her past life's memories! They say a daughter is her father's lover in his past life!"

Zhou Baiyu looked at the man whose face showed anger, but still spoke gently:

"But your daughter, your ex-wife, they are people you encountered in this lifetime, Mr. Zhang, you don't need to be angry."

"Your anger can't cover up the fact, that you've also been thinking about this question, haven't you?"

"But now, you are a media sensation, everyone envies you, so it's not good for you to investigate. But you should make it clear, you should know where your daughter has gone."

"Yes, I believe she is your wife, but let's... let's do a test, Mr. Zhang. Try doing something only you and your daughter would understand, see if she reacts the way your daughter would."

Mr. Zhang trembled slightly.

Zhou Baiyu's gaze was piercing, staring straight at Mr. Zhang:

"Or is it that, in fact, you've already discovered, she is only the ex-wife... apart from that body, you can no longer find anything in her that belongs to your daughter."

As if a sensitive spot had been prodded, Mr. Zhang didn't speak and was silent for a long time.

Zhou Baiyu could feel that the other party was shaken, he continued saying:

"I'm not trying to stir up your relationship but... at the very least, you should find out from her the truth about her time travel..."

"If you don't want your daughter to truly die, I hope you can cooperate with me, to obtain the truth from your wife's mouth."

"This is my contact information."

Zhou Baiyu handed over a piece of paper, then got up and left.

Although Mr. Zhang appeared very resolute, not long after Zhou Baiyu left, he recalled the little moments from the years spent with his young daughter...

A new determination flickered in his eyes.

Love is fleeting, but the bond of blood relations doesn't fade away.

Mr. Zhang picked up the piece of paper with Zhou Baiyu's contact information and left the coffee shop.
