Chapter 159: succubus

Hassan and Hussein were awestruck as they listened to the pink-haired lady.

'Hey!! Hussein, don't tell me that's it's your heart that's making that loud sound!? Get a grip man.' Alex couldn't understand what this particular type of emotion that Hussein was feeling, was.

"You're awake?" Hassan and Hussein said at the same time. They immediately forgot the heated atmosphere that Mamma created.

Mamma looked like she was about to have a panic attack. She knew that the lady wasn't someone that was meant to be in the plain realm that they were in, even if her core has been hurt beyond her knowledge of treatment, she knew that the core of a cultivator wasn't all to be considered when measuring the strength of someone as powerful as she her.

The pink-haired lady slowly sat up. Her hair fell and covered her face as she did that. She used her hands to move her hair out of her face and stared at Hassan and Hussein.

Looking into the eyes of this woman that seemed to have a lot more fire and vigor to them than the first time they saw her emerald eyes, blood started trickling down Hassan and Hussein's nose.

The pink-haired lady smirked at the sight of that. "Although I don't know who the two of you are, I do know that you guys had a hand in my rescue. But I have to tell you this, don't fall for me, you will regret it." The pink-haired lady said sternly.

She was used to getting stares and looks like the ones Hassan and Hussein were giving her, she gets those reactions from both male and female gender, but from the male gender mostly.

"Why am I not allowed to fall for you, I already did." Hassan blurted out.

"You foolish boy." It was at this moment that Mamma knew that Hassan couldn't be redeemed.

The pink-haired lady raised one of her brows at what Hassan said. "Don't worry granny, I have no intentions to harm them or you, after all, the three of you are the people that I owe my life to." The pink-haired lady said to Mamma.

"There are several reasons why, the first is that you are not qualified to fall for me. Powerful men confessed their love to me and they all didn't qualify or amount to anything. You don't even have a bloodline coursing through you." She tilted her head.

"What's your name?" Hassan smiled as he ignored the reason that she gave.

Just like how Hassan ignored what she said, she ignored his question.

"How powerful were they?" Hussein asked.

"More powerful than you can imagine." She replied and sighed. "Due to my injuries, I have no choice but to rely on you guys for help. And don't worry, it wouldn't be for free."

"Tell me what you need and I'll get it for you." Hussein beat Hassan to it.

'Simps.' That was all Alex could say.

"I need bloodstones, bring all that you can for me." She answered.

"If I get you bloodstones will you tell me your name?" Hassan asked.

"The male gender of the human species can be really persistent." She uttered as she contemplated an answer to Hassan's question.

"You say the human species like you are not human too." Hassan playfully stated.

"Exactly, I'm not a human." The pink-haired lady answered with a serious expression on her face.

"Th… then what are you?" Mamma blurted out.

Her question gained the attention of the pink-haired lady.

"I am a being desired by men and I feed off lust and life force. I am a succubus." She revealed and her eyes transformed into pristine jade stone. The glow from her eyes was so enchanting that Hassan and Hussein could barely hold themselves back, they wanted to get closer to her.

'I'm very sure that I've heard of something like this back on Mars. I don't know much about it but I do know that they are creatures of seduction or something like that.' Alex mentioned.

-Gasp!

Mamma gasped. "By the gods." She exclaimed. "You are a being that is on par with the class-2 legendary bloodline," She uttered.

"For an old lady in the lower plain realm, you are quite informed." The succubus smiled at Mamma as she returned her eyes back to normal. "It is not their fault that they are smitten by me, it is because of my nature. That is why I said that they will regret falling for me."

She turned and faced the two love-struck brothers. "Do you have bloodstones or not?" The succubus questioned.

"Will you tell us your name or not?" Hassan asked again. Although he heard when she said that she wasn't human, he didn't care.

"Hassan!!" Mamma bellowed.

Hassan ignored Mamma.

"Sure, it doesn't matter anyway, you wouldn't be able to tell if it's my real name or not." The succubus agreed.

Before Hassan could leave the room, Hussein beat him to it.

"You cheating brother!" Hassan shouted at Hussein…

By the time they came back to the clinic, they saw Mamma on her knees in front of the succubus. "Please let these boys go, you have enchanted them, they have a tragic past. Just let them be." Mamma pleaded.

It was the only thing that could be done. The pink-haired lady wasn't human, nor was she someone of the lower plain realm, just because she was weak now didn't mean that she could be harmed by anyone in their plain realm.

So even if she takes the matter to the village head, it is most likely that nothing could be done to her.

"I cannot stop what I did not ask for. I never asked them to get enchanted by me." The succubus answered shortly.

She was used to things like this, although she has been pursued by a lot of men, she has always been an outcast even amongst her kind. Her beauty surpassed that of other succubus and that in turn fueled the jealousy she received from her own kind. Even incubuses found it hard to resist her.

"Then please, leave this place. If you are not here, after a while they should be able to come back to their right senses." Mamma pleaded.

The succubus sighed. "I will leave, but only after I regain my strength and have finished healing." She agreed.

Mamma still hasn't noticed that Hassan and Hussein were back.

"If you are going to leave then I'll leave with you," Hassan stated.

"Hassan, you are the heir." Mamma reminded him as she got up from her knees.

"Mamma is right, Hassan. You are the heir to the chieftaincy position of our village, you have to stay behind, and I will go with her." Hussein said as he glared at his brother.

"The majority of the village wants you as their chief, why don't you do as they want? I am already known as a wasted person." Hassan glared back at his brother.

"The laws of our forefathers state that the firstborn son of the chief will be the heir. If I expose the truth about why you've been acting out all these years, do you think that they will care? In fact, they will know why there's no one more worthy of the chieftaincy position than you." Hussein threatened.

"You dare not. If that is out, they might throw the remains of father and mother into the never-ending sea." Hassan frowned at his brother.

"Then stay behind, I'll leave with her," Hussein said.

"You ungrateful brother." Hassan released his aura and so did his Hussein. They looked at each other with the intent to kill.

The clinic began to shake, they were about to battle.

Mamma started to shed tears. At the moment she regretted saving this succubus, if she wasn't alive then they wouldn't be fighting. It all happened in seconds, brothers that loved themselves more than anything was threatening their selves all because of a woman.

"Can I get the bloodstones?" The succubus interrupted them. She had seen brothers fight over her a lot of times, it wasn't anything new to her.

"Oh." Hassan and Hussein snapped out of it and exclaimed at the same time.

They kept their bloodstones in a bag that looked like it was made from goatskin, they handed it over to her.

"Hassan asked for your name, I want to ask for a different thing. Who amongst the two of us do you think that you can fall in love with?" Hussein questioned the succubus as he handed the bloodstones he had with him over to her.

"Love?" She collected the bags. "You see, the only reason I'm like this is because I fell in love with a man. I was betrayed by him... and his wife.

They sent people after me all because they wanted something that they couldn't get unless I was dead. All I want now is revenge and I need to regain my strength for that, so don't count on me falling for any of you.

The only reason I haven't sucked the life force out of the 2 of you, is because I can tell that you did nothing to me when I was at my weakest. Even when you were enchanted you still had morals, my advice is for the two of you to stop your wishful thinking and stop fighting over me."

Hassan and Hussein didn't know what to say. She had rejected them several times, but they didn't want to give up.

"What's your name?" Hassan asked.

She tilted her head and looked at him, she was contemplating if she should tell them her real name or not. "My name is Lilith…"

…

A white light covered Alex's sight and his consciousness returned.

He opened his eyes and found himself back in the treasure room.

Alex gulped and stood up.

['You're back, again.'] Al uttered.

['Al, what's the scariest living being you know of?'] Alex asked.

['Hmm, to be honest, I'll say the Dragnel brothers after their transformation. Why do ask?'] Al answered.

['Nah, the Dragnel brothers were terrifying only because of their looks. The scariest being is terrifying regardless of their appearance.'] Alex argued.

['And what being might that be?'] Al wondered.

['Women.']
