21. Naughty Miss Succubus
Xia Yi felt as if she was in a hazy state, hearing a girl's voice conversing with her.
"Silver Dragon Princess, open your eyes, I am Ella Rosenberg."
Who?
Xia Yi found the name unfamiliar.
Why could a stranger invade her dreams?
"If you continue to sleep, I will eat you up!"
Eat? I'm not tasty.
"Humph, this 'eat' is not meant literally, it's… astringent…"[1]
Wait, what is this person doing?
Xia Yi felt a sense of crisis deep within, she couldn't continue to sleep.
She knew she was falling deeper into the ocean, so she tried hard to open her eyes, looking at the sunlight above the sea, desperately moving her hands and feet, swimming.
Good thing she learned to swim before for survival!
If she were a landlubber, that would be unfortunate.
From the depths of the sea, a song came, seemingly wanting Xia Yi to stay, those songs seemed to contain a mysterious power, making her gradually lose strength.
Clearly, someone didn't want her to wake from this Sea Dream.
"biu~"
Xia Yi heard the playful voice of the girl again.
The name seemed to be…
Ella, right?
Xia Yi didn't know what Ella did, but it seemed like a protective barrier formed around her, blocking the sound, eliminating the influence of the song.
Seeing this, she didn't waste the opportunity and decided to escape first.
It didn't take long for Xia Yi to reach the surface, reaching out above.
Then, the girl's warm palm grabbed her, pulling her out, and she left the sea.
Xia Yi felt the world change in an instant, the ocean disappeared, and the song was gone.
She felt a soft warmth and the girl's fragrance…
Eh?!
She fell into the arms of a brown-haired girl.
This girl's eyes were very special, heterochromatic, one blue, one green, with a unique charm. The girl was very beautiful, with pointed ears like an elf, and a bit of baby fat on her cheeks…
Where have I seen her before?
Xia Yi felt somewhat familiar.
"Little Silver Dragon, are you ready to start being astringent?" the girl teased.
Xia Yi then realized she had pounced on the girl, her face buried in a soft place, and quickly got up.
"Sorry!"
This voice was the one she had been conversing with.
The girl in front of her had introduced herself before, was she Ella?
But Ella didn't seem to mind much.
"It's okay, Little Silver Dragon, do you remember me now?" Ella smiled, her ears twitching twice.
"…A succubus?"
"That's right, you got it! The beloved, flower-blooming Miss Succubus!" Ella nodded affirmatively.
She remembered.
Previously, when attending the higher beings banquet, Xia Yi played hide and seek with Yue Liu. During the game, she met a strange girl.
At that time, she also forgot what happened, and she fell asleep.
When she woke up, the little fox told her that a succubus had troubled her.
It seemed to be the succubus in front of her.
"It's you!"
Xia Yi was surprised.
Last time this person had teased her!
She then realized that she had just had the Sea Dream, and it was Ella who helped her out of it.
Her feelings were a bit complicated.
But after all, Ella helped, and royalty must understand etiquette.
"Thank you, Ella."
"It's nothing!"
"By the way, where is this?"
Xia Yi stood up and found herself surrounded by a dark space, endless.
"Little Silver Dragon, this is still within your dream."
Ella was quite proud.
"We succubi are very good at creating dreams, we are experts among experts in this field. I created a dream to cover your Sea Dream, and the sea monsters outside couldn't do anything at all."
"Sea monsters?"
Xia Yi remembered, before she dreamed, she saw a mysterious girl, with the upper body having wings of a bird or beast, and the lower body of a fish.
She looked very much like a siren.
This is also a legend from the Age of Great Voyages, sirens have very enchanting singing voices, even capable of bewitching hearts.
"That sea monster, she can use her singing to bewitch hearts, creating illusions, breaking down others' mental defenses." Ella explained.
"I see… so that's it."
Xia Yi now understood.
Before the Black Tide, the siren kept using her singing at night, causing the people of the coastal city to fall into sleep, creating the illusion of a Sea Dream, causing mental instability.
At first, the effect was not obvious, but as time went on, with repeated exposure to these sea dreams, everyone would succumb.
Of course, there were exceptions like Sera, the strong ones…
But normally, the siren's song would create a Sea Dream, causing the entire city to fall, and by the time the Black Tide arrived, all the people in the city would be unable to escape.
That must be the true nature of the Black Tide.
However, there was still one question that remained unanswered: what was the goal of the Black Tide?
Was it simply to increase their numbers?
It was puzzling.
But more evidence was needed.
Xia Yi's gaze returned to Ella.
"Ella, how did you enter my dream?"
"That's because of the Succubus Mark on you, which I left there on purpose when we last met."
"Mark? Where is it? I didn't see it."
Xia Yi looked over herself but couldn't find it anywhere.
"It's right here~"
Sera extended her slender finger and lightly tapped on Xia Yi's lower abdomen.
Then, a pink light shone from Xia Yi's lower abdomen.
She turned around, her back to Ella, to check, and then her face changed.
There really was a glowing mark there, and the pattern was…
"Ella, why did you leave a mark there? Hurry, erase it!!" Xia Yi's face turned red, her arms covering her stomach.
But the pink light kept shining, as if emphasizing it, too embarrassing!
This could lead to misunderstandings!
Seeing Xia Yi's reaction, the succubus couldn't help but laugh.
"Actually, it doesn't have any special function, don't be nervous, Little Silver Dragon. The location and pattern are just my personal interests, it could be placed somewhere else too."
"You have such a bad taste!"
"Can't help it, that's how we succubi are. In fact, to me, that sounds like a compliment!" Ella winked, "Little Silver Dragon, don't you like it?"
"Not at all!!"
"Alright, alright. I get it, I'll change the location of the Succubus Mark for you, come on, turn around."
"Ah?"
"You said you wanted to change the location, right? If you don't cooperate with me, how can I do it?" Ella said as a matter of course.
"I… understand."
Xia Yi had no choice but to face Ella.
"Alright, now face me, take the hem of your clothes with both hands, and lift it up." Ella continued to instruct.
"This, this…"
"What's the matter? We're both girls, it's okay for me to see, or are you… shy?" The succubus's face showed a mischievous smile.
Xia Yi's cheeks grew even hotter. Should she really do this…?
