Male Succubus Apocalypse

At the back door of the underworld tavern, a girl with glasses, two big brown braids, who looked quite slim and dressed simply, and who was holding a book - on the book there was a white envelope pressed by her fingers - and who had freckles on her face, quietly walked up and knocked on the door.

"Secret code." A voice came from behind the door.

"Well... 'A beautiful soul is better than any appearance.'" the girl said shyly.

"Please come in, distinguished guest." This time the voice was that of another man.

Maria was very familiar with the scene and was delighted. As the door opened, a man with lazy curly hair, also wearing glasses, with a blunt face and a gentle and friendly smile, but a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, but with extremely lethal face, came to greet her.

"Ms. Maria, did you bring the book you promised to recommend to me?"

"Of course... Mr. March, you are more handsome than I thought..."

Hearing this, March slowly raised his finger skillfully, pressed it against Maria's bright red lips, and said softly in her ear with a clear and crisp voice: "Please don't compliment my appearance. Didn't we agree? Only praise beautiful hearts and profound wisdom."

"Yes... yes." Maria was unable to move her body, yet she was so relaxed that she could hardly stand. Even her thinking began to slow down and she had difficulty speaking.

Only now did she see clearly that March, who had been dressed in formal clothes and polite in the morning, was now wearing only a thin shirt with the buttons unbuttoned to form a V. The muscular lines of his waist and his voluptuous chest were in stark contrast to the gentle and calm initial impression she had.

His appearance at work and his current image at home gave Maria the shock of seeing a different side of March.

After March finished speaking, he quickly distanced himself from him. Without being overly aggressive, he pretended to think, then replied: "I have carefully thought about your question this morning. What exactly determines the rights of a society? I think it is the obligations assumed and the value of the output. As for why the king, a single individual, can have the right to decide the direction of the country, even if he is a mediocre person, I think this point needs further discussion..."

After hearing what March said, Maria came to her senses and remembered why she was so bold to secretly meet a strange man whom she had only met once at night.

That's a perfect match! Maria may look conservative on the surface, but her inner rebelliousness is unknown to others - otherwise she wouldn't try massage.

But those rich young ladies who only knew how to drink afternoon tea and were obsessed with dressing up were totally different from her. When talking about history, they would only say which perfume was good, and when talking about politics, they knew nothing at all.

If she tried to talk to men, she would be ignored because of her gender. She also found that many men were just bragging and their real talents were not even a bit comparable to hers.

But March is different, she is simply a treasure! Not only does she respect herself as a girl, she is also very knowledgeable. She even dares to talk about questions like "Should the king have such great power?", which surprises Maria.

From time to time, you can also put forward many insightful opinions! Have your own insights.

Moreover, he is so handsome!

"Then my great scholar, why are you standing there? Let's go inside and have a good discussion on how to take off the crowns of those idiots!" March snapped his fingers a few times and said with a smile to Maria who was in a daze again.

Not only handsome, but also funny!

For Maria, March's advantages are simply innumerable at this time!

"Maqi, I have to say, I am really lucky to have met you!"

……

Knowledge and computing ability are not the same as wisdom. Wisdom does not lie in the level of intelligence, but in the depth of thought and thinking.

If you have literary talent, you can show off as much as you want, but if you are spiritual and wise, you can often write something original with just a few sentences.

Faced with the same problem, wise people explore the essence, knowledgeable people look for examples. If you ask what the charm of wisdom is, it is that it opens the door to another world.

Wisdom is a state, a realm of unity of knowledge and action, not an accumulation of straightforward knowledge that will lead to confusion when facing new problems or changing routines.

For example, those who have mastered dialectical thinking, the laws of thought, and the underlying logic.

It cannot be said that Xu Heng and Ma Qi were wise people, but they did play the role of guides in leading others to broaden their minds.

People's attitude towards highly intelligent people is often admiration, but when faced with wise people who can guide them, their attitude will be to follow them, who are both teachers and friends.

"If life has no meaning, then what you give it is what it is. When you take control of your own life and live it instead of just existing, I feel that you may be a little different from animals. Your question is that simple." Xu Heng explained, looking at Clara who was expecting his answer.

"So, is that so? I have always been afraid. What should I do if life is really empty and meaningless? I never expected the result would be like this..." Clara lowered her head, feeling relieved and inexplicably moved.

The gap in thinking, no matter how small, can easily turn into an abyss in the end. Some people may not be able to figure out a problem in their entire lives, but once they figure it out, this is what is called enlightenment.

What I am most afraid of is that I have never thought about it at all, or even feel that there is no need to think about it. This will indeed save me a lot of trouble, and I won’t be unhappy if I don’t think about it.

But if you ever encounter the storms and deceptions brought by the world, and the frauds and deceptions of those with ulterior motives, then you may become as fragile as paper.

Just like Clara at that time. It was not a storm yet, but just a simple question that she wanted to know.

"I didn't mean to not tell you the answer. I just want you to think about it first. I like to answer other people's questions instead of showing off my own knowledge. Because when asking a question, it means that you must want to know, think about it, and consider it. I'm sorry to make you panic." Xu Heng said earnestly in the tone of an elder.

He has taught dozens of stubborn kids and taught demons to be united and friendly. Is he afraid that he can't handle a little girl like you?

It's fine if you don't ask, but if you do, just wait for me to trick you!

"No, no, no. So what if your teachings make me fear for the rest of my life? Whether you are an orc or a demon, wise people should always be respected! Please forgive me for my earlier rudeness again!" Clara raised her head suddenly, bowed solemnly and said in a heavy tone.

"It's okay. I'm not a wise man. I'm just a cook. You respect me. It's my honor to help you. Maybe you can think about your significance now." Xu Heng helped Clara up and said with a smile.

The two of them kept talking, and Soma became withdrawn - I felt like an outsider...

"Can I still communicate with you in the future?"

"Of course, but I have work to do today. We are meeting in private now. We will call each other friends in the future. So can you let your friend the chef do the work first? Haha!"

"Oh, I didn't understand. I'll come back later!"

Before Soma could figure out the situation, he was dragged away by Clara.

When silence returned to the front desk, Xu Heng let out a long breath.

Come again!

"Why, you look so sad. I felt like you enjoyed teaching others like this."

Julie popped up and spoke.

"Yeah, it reminds me of the days when I taught the kids, but Clara is a woman, and I can't adapt to it physically..." Xu Heng sighed. He didn't expect that after so long, his PTSD of fear of women has not been alleviated.

Fortunately, I had experience taking care of my little sister in my previous life, so I can coax her into chatting with others. It is true that reading more is good, and I can move around a little bit...

But this is not something that can be obtained simply by reading books. During the days Xu Heng was in the juvenile detention center, he probably thought that most people were like him.

The good news is that although my identity has been exposed, I am safe and sound. If I encounter high-level demon "fellows" in the future, I seem to have to avoid them.

……

The next day, with anticipation, those who had not grabbed a seat yesterday sneaked in front of the door of the Underworld Tavern early in the morning, but after waiting for a long time, the door did not open.

When the sun shone, they were shocked to find a small sign hanging by the door - "Today is the weekend and the employees are on holiday, the pub is temporarily closed."

People who had worked hard all morning were so angry that they were jumping up and down.

But there was no other way but to disperse.

The door of the Hell Tavern became quiet again, but soon, a black figure walked up to it without caring about anything, and sat down at the door...

In the center of the city, on Jincheng Square, a man wearing a hood and ordinary tight-fitting traveling clothes was walking side by side with a man in black, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"Please take good care of them. Thank you very much. Please bring my regards to Mr. Aaron later!"

"You're welcome! I will make sure your men are safe!"

The man in black who was sent by Xu Heng and Aaron to serve as a tour guide and bodyguard had just finished speaking when, at the next corner, he suddenly disappeared from people's sight.

He promised to bring the kids out to play, but Xu Heng was very worried about safety and guidance. He had to disguise himself, otherwise he would be bothered by the guests outside and his day would be ruined. It would be almost the same if he wore a hooded windbreaker.

They couldn't stay together like this, otherwise it would be like a shameful secret organization, so they had to disperse. Xu Heng himself was worried, so he had to ask Aaron for help.

Aaron generously arranged bodyguards for Xu Heng in secret, and also equipped him with his own personal guard, who was the man in black that he first met Soma that day.

But following him would also attract attention, so Xu Heng sent him away to protect others - the message Aaron gave to the man in black was to protect him openly and let everyone know Xu Heng's identity.

Xu Heng is not happy, so he tells the men in black to lurk secretly and wait for an opportunity to strike. No matter how unlucky he is, how can he run into someone without eyes every day?

Walking in the Golden City, you feel like you are in the Middle Ages in Europe, but perhaps more prosperous and more fantastic.

In addition to the patrolling guards consisting of mages and warriors on tall horses, there were also nobles driving "beast carts" pulled by some unprecedented four-legged beasts. From time to time, mages casting flying spells flew across the sky. Everywhere on the ground, in addition to the hurried residents of Jincheng dressed in gorgeous clothes, there were also adventurers who came here in search of fortune.

It seems that Jincheng does not ban weapons. It is not uncommon to see people wearing light armor, carrying knives on their backs, swords on their waists, bows in their left hands, and wooden staffs in their right hands. Most of them are mercenaries and adventurers.

The three- or four-story buildings everywhere, and even taller watchtowers, are all in Gothic style. Sometimes people climb over the eaves and walls, and are warned by the wizards or archers on duty in the watchtowers.

Jincheng is indeed an economic metropolis. With a solid economic foundation, people's minds seem to be more open. Orcs, elves, dwarves walk through the city from time to time. Xu Heng even saw a real dragon through the materialization of souls, which was just disguised as a human.

But to be safe, Xu Heng still asked his men to disguise themselves to a certain extent.

Looking at both sides of the street, there were countless shops selling ironware and magic tools. There were also cafes, restaurants and guilds issuing commissions, which dazzled Xu Heng.

The world in Xu Heng's eyes is actually more exciting. As he moves among the crowd, his ability to sense emotions is often induced to occur passively. Occasionally, he activates his ability to materialize his soul and often sees wonderful scenes.

The most common emotions among the people of Jincheng are passion and happiness. This is normal in a thriving city. The occasional sadness and murderous intent are not within Xu Heng's consideration and have nothing to do with him.

But when there are too many people, the complex emotions are like colorful tides, sweeping over, and Xu Heng, who has received too much information, still feels tired. He wonders if the other guys will collapse from exhaustion while walking?

Looking at the dwarf and the dark elf quarreling on the roadside, in their embodied souls, one is a hungry wolf and the other is an eagle. They are fighting each other and no one wants to be at a disadvantage. It is like watching an animal world.

This was the first time Xu Heng observed the outside world on a large scale - Julie ensured that no one would discover his ability, because it was not a detection spell, but Xu Heng's own ability, acting on Xu Heng himself.

He concluded that most people are actually animals, representing personality and temperament, while a small number of people are their own image. These people tend to be more self-centered, have certain achievements, and have unique areas of expertise.

Also relatively rare are inanimate objects, such as keys and boxes, which symbolize obsession. This person will probably be related to this object all his life, which is pitiful, as he is entangled in it. However, for a watchmaker who loves repairing watches, his soul is a watch, which makes Xu Heng happy for him.

If you devote your whole life to one thing and it is happy and what you want, it is a rare happiness.

He was quite curious about what his soul looked like, but he couldn't find out by looking in the mirror.

"Where are you going? You sent the tour guide away." After walking around for a while, Julie asked curiously. "How about we go to the black market and steal a corpse?"

"It's okay to just stroll around... wait, you said the black market? Do you know where the black market is?" Xu Heng didn't quite believe it, because Julie herself said that this was her first time in Jincheng.

The black market in the other world is not ordinary. According to Julie's introduction, there is nothing that cannot be sold. Slaves, corpses and various other things that are banned in the outside world can all be bought on the black market.

Where there is demand, there is supply, especially in a place like Jincheng, which seems safe and has a good economy on the surface, but there must be many businessmen who want to make more money behind the scenes.

Gray or even black businesses will gradually flourish, but they are not shown on the surface. In fact, the top leaders know everything about it, and as long as it is not excessive, they will turn a blind eye.

In this golden city built on the principle of profiteering, what can't be done if it can make money?

"Of course I know. It's a dead place and usually a black market." Julie was very confident.

"Wait a little bit. There are still two days left. There's no rush. Besides, we have plenty of corpses."

"It's enough, but I have to teach you how to judge whether the corpses are fresh or not. Can you use them? I'll teach you how to do it."

"Tsk, don't talk like you're buying groceries, it's disgusting."

"Disgusting? That's what the Undead Department is like!... Then where are you going?"

"Um... the library! We must go to the library! Hey, I asked Aaron before!"
