Chapter 29 - Reader: Protagonist, you little devil!
The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love
The dim moonlight shone through the window, caressing Heidiâs flawless body with its snow-white skin that had the sheen of jade. The succubusâs every move was full of magic and unspeakable temptation. An intense scent of roses filled the air, quiet and distant but able to stir the hearts of people.
Xiuâs eyes widened slightly. Water dripped down from the ends of his recently washed hair, plopping down on the floor with a clear sound.
âIâve already turned down your offer.â
âBeautiful women are always capricious.â Heidiâs face showed a seductive smile. She stretched out her hand and stroked Xiuâs face, her eyes soft: âDemons are always true to their own desires. I act on my instincts.â
â... I already have someone.â
âI donât mind.â Heidi did not care to raise her eyebrows, her smile was both seductive and crooked: âSuccessful men always have a lot of partners.â
Her fingertips traced the line of his jaw, lingering on its enchanting curve.
âThe first time I saw you, I was sure that no one would be more suitable for me than you, ... Together, we will be very good.â Heidiâs voice was a light whisper, and the scent of roses became more pronounced as the succubusâs hand slide down and pulled open Xiuâs robe. âI want to .... get to know each other more intimately.â
Xiu grabbed Heidiâs playful hand that was drawing circles on his chest: âDonât use seduction magic on me.â
âItâs just a taste.â Heidi giggled: âIt will just make you happier. Believe me, youâll be very, very happy ...â
Her voice seemed to have a strange rhythm that made the people who heard it lose control of themselves and eager to pursue the voiceâs promise of bliss. Xiu let go of Heidiâs hand. She was just about to continue when she heard Xiu say: âLeave.â
âBut youâre already ...â Heidi froze then looked pointedly at the evidence.1 Few people can escape the lure of her enchantment and in her active seduction mode, only those who are completely without feelings2 will not respond. This young and handsome man in front of her clearly had a reaction yet he still asks her to leave?
Xiu sighed deeply. Heidi doesnât know why, but his sigh made her heart jump. An unspeakable bitterness filled her heart and she stared blankly even as the blond, blue-eyed man opened his arms and fiercely embraced her in the room lit up by soft, diffuse moonlight.
Xiu held Heidiâs waist with one hand and lifted Heidiâs chin with the other. His hands were strong, and Heidi sensed that his blood was heating up.3 She can only stare at him, watching as Xiu lowered his head, the moonlight shining down into his gorgeous blue eyes, peerlessly beautiful.4
âDo you want me to hold you?â
Heidi nodded. She was almost breathless, drowning in those aqua-colored eyes that were more gorgeous than the blue sky.
The blond young man smiled. His smiling face was beautiful but something about his expression was disturbing.
âGood.â
He removed his hand from her chin to her full chest then Xiu buried his head in the hollow of Heidiâs shoulder. Heidi was just going to put her hands on the nape of his neck when she heard Xiu whisper into her ear: âDu Ze.â
Heidi instantly stiffened. Xiu didnât seem to notice the demonâs reaction and continued to lean on Heidi, saying:5 âDu Ze ...â
â...!â
In the moonlight, the two people who had been intimately attached to each other suddenly drew apart. Heidi looked at the Xiu, who she had pushed away from her. The manâs blond hair and smile were as bright as ever, but she could not feel any warmth from him â he even made her feel cold.
There was silence between the two for a while. Heidi looked at Xiu, heartbreak in her eyes.
âI could share you with a lot of people.â The demon raised her chin proudly. âBut I will never be a stand-in for another person.â
Xiu looked at Heidi. His sky blue eyes had deepened into a bottomless indigo.
âEn!â His voice was light: âNo one can take his place.â
So Heidi understood very clearly that she wanted this person in front of her but he will never belong to her.
She could only choose to leave.
After the beautiful demon left, Xiu leaned against the wall then sat down slowly. Even the cold walls cannot alleviate the heat in his body. The blond youthâs head drooped. Breathing heavily, he closed his eyes and his long eyelashes quivered as his hesitant hands grasped his desire.
âDu Ze.â
He remembered that manâs hands â gliding, evoking his deepest desires.
âDu Ze ...â
He imagined that the hand that is bringing comfort to his body is the hand of that person. When he thought that, he felt his throat tighten and a torrent of strong desires gushed from his heart: I want to kiss him. I want to embrace him, I want to touch him, I want to ... commit blasphemy.
âDu Ze, Du Ze, Du Ze ...â
The icy moonlight filled the empty room. Xiu leaned against the icy wall and said the name again and again and again.
It is the pain and sadness of deprivation.6

Du Ze was led to the dining hall by the attendants. When he got there he found that Xiu was already eating breakfast. Du Ze was stupefied, he did not expect to see Xiu â now that the protagonist had finally found a sister, he should scientifically devote himself to fight with her for three days and three nights.
âCome,â said Xiu to Du Ze, beckoning him closer. His smile was like the morning light, purifying body and mind into something holy.7 Du Ze instantly put away the wretched thoughts in his heart and walked over to him. Xiu picked up a meat pie8 from the table and offered it to Du Ze. âThis is delicious.â
Du Ze wanted to reach out a hand to take it but found that except for the part that Xiu was holding, the rest of the cake was covered in sauce so a naturally cute person took a bite.
Super awesome!
âVery good, go on eating.â
Thatâs what this young man is for. = =+
Xiu fed Du Ze a meat pie and a glass of milk; the feeding was already over when the silly, cute person realized that he doesnât need to be fed by Xiu. Itâs not like heâs a disabled person with no hands or feet. Protagonist, your movements should not be so natural!
After they finished eating, the housekeeper appeared with a tray in his hands. Two red and black cards were on the tray.
âGentlemen, these are the eastern passes. The City Lord said that she has something to deal with today, so please forgive her for not entertaining her guests.â
Quite obviously, this was an order for the guests to leave.
Xiu picked up the passes, said his farewells to the housekeeper, then pulled the speechless Du Ze with him. They left. On the second floor, a corner of a curtain was pulled open and Heidi looked out from a window at the two figures. She sighed, thinking: not her, no matter what she did, he was not for her.
Chapter 29.2 Reader: Protagonist, you little devil!
Even after returning to the hotel, Du Ze was still in a daze: it seems they were driven out?!
The demon sisters were pleasantly surprised when they saw the red and black cards in Xiuâs hands. Xiu said a few words to them then took Du Ze with him to his room. Seeing that Xiu looked as though he wasnât bothered by anything, Du Ze couldnât help but ask: âWhat happened?â
How did you get kicked out by a sister?
Xiu seemed to think of last night, his eyes flashed with some complex emotion and he smiled helplessly: âI was rejected.â1
*******
Wait, what did he hear?
The. Protagonist. Was. Rejected. By the sister?!
The succubus heroine was very satisfied with the appearance of the protagonist. Then ... during the time of their union, she was unsatisfied with some aspect of the protagonistâs skills?
No, that canât be! The main character of a YY novel has awesome H abilities ... protagonist, can it be that your H skills have not fully developed?
The stupid reader suddenly felt as if he had learned a great truth: In âMixed Blood,â when the protagonist attacked Agares City and met Heidi, his harem had been built and Xiu was completely âbattle-hardened.â However, right now not even a shadow of the protagonistâs harem had been sighted and the only object of his kisses is a male. Xiu has no experience at all.
Du Ze felt a deep sympathy for Xiu and grabbed his hand, trying to comfort him. Du Zeâs eyes were on fire with determination: You just need to practice more. We can try again next year.
Xiu looked at their joined hands, a little puzzled at first, then he guessed what the other person was thinking. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly hugged Du Ze.
Du Ze didnât have time to stiffen before he heard Xiu sigh in his ear: âIâm a little frustrated ...â
The voice sounded like Xiu was lost. Is this the first time the protagonist had suffered such a setback? Du Ze thought it was a gross insult to the dignity of men. The stupid reader suddenly felt guilty. It was all because of his intervention; he had disrupted the plotâs timing which led to this inhuman tragedy.
Du Ze racked his brains and was able to squeeze out a few words of comfort: âItâs alright, you can learn.â
The corners of Xiuâs lips began to rise: âYou can teach me?â
His question was very subtle. It wasnât like a rhetorical question but more like a statement. Or an inquiry and an order in one.
âYou know a lot ... Right? â
In the Lost Land, the dark-haired youth told the black-robed Lich: âI know a lot, you can use me.â
Will the young man reveal that he is a person who has loved and been on intimate terms with his right hand for many years? Never!
The theoretical master Du Ze said: âWords of love, kissing, caressing â those are the needed skills.â
If you want to know the specifics, please try to comprehend it yourself, young man!
âLove words ... Like this?â
The touch on his ear was like a kiss and Xiuâs low, magnetic voice seemed to melt into his ear.
âI love you.â
Du Zeâs heart jumped â âboom!â He shuddered. That kind of voice that made even his bones vibrate is too much.
âI want to kiss every inch of your skin.â
An unknown emotion grew in the dim room, but there was only the sound which seemed to seep into the soul, whispering softly, low and heavy.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI want to make your whole body smell like me.â
Du Ze only felt his scalp tingling. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and felt like he was unable to breathe, caught up in an illusion, like drowning, and even his nerve endings are intoxicated by the voice.
âLet me touch you ...â2
...you little devil!3
Even though he had stepped back several paces from Xiuâs bosom, Du Zeâs ear still felt warm from Xiuâs touch. He stared blankly at Xiu, silent for a while, and then impassively appraised: âVery well done.â
This young manâs legs are soft!!!4 WTF! Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, do you know what kind of deadly weapon you have made?! No wonder the young Emperor of the Star Empire (â) fell to the protagonist. The main characterâs charm has already broken through the gender limitation and it can defeat both men and women! Heidi, for you to be able to refuse the protagonist, youâre simply incredible!
âDo you feel good? ... Thatâs enough.â Xiu said lightly: âNext time, teach me how to kiss.â
... What?
At that moment Du Ze wondered, is it possible that in some unknown time, he will have to sell himself?
Du Ze was still bewildered when Xiu took out the space ring. A gray light flashed and an oval stone appeared in his hand. It was the auction item that Heidi bought and sent over to the protagonist. Xiu handed the stone egg to Du Ze and smiled.
âThis is what you wanted.â
******
******
Iâll get it for you if you want it.
So rely on me a little more, so there is a little more *.
Whether itâs money, fame, or anything else.
Iâll be all you *.
