Chapter 28: Meeting Lady Cassandra
Yenissa's bed was absurdly comfortable. It wasn't just soft—it felt like it was floating in the air, a cloud of pure indulgence. Rilith lay on her stomach, sinking into the plush sheets, while Velara stretched her arms above her head, eyes closed in bliss.
"This is so unfair," Rilith grumbled. "Why does Yenissa get to have a bed like this? Of course, Shennong treats her like this." She scoffed. "And she has the nerve to talk about 'holding back' and 'not forcing herself on him' when she's been doing all that behind our backs."
"Rilith," Velara hushed her, opening one eye. "Don't speak like that."
Rilith rolled onto her side, irritated. "Oh, come on, Velara. You know I'm right."
Velara didn't respond immediately. Instead, she glanced around the room cautiously, as if making sure no one else was listening. Then, in a much softer voice, she said, "You should really remember who Yenissa is."
Rilith's face paled instantly. Her mouth snapped shut, and she looked away.
Romina, who had been sitting in front of them watching their conversation with mild amusement, raised an eyebrow. "Why do you guys sound so scared of her?" she asked curiously.
Velara hesitated, then finally answered. "Because Yenissa is a true succubus. Unlike us."
Romina frowned. "What does that mean?"
Rilith sighed and sat up. "True succubi are daughters of our Queen. We... are not. Velara and I weren't born from a Queen or another true succubus. We were created. Artificially. Inside a womb." She leaned forward slightly. "True succubi... they're like goddesses to us. At least, that's how humans would put it."
Romina looked between them, processing that information. "So, Yenissa is basically royalty?"
Velara nodded. "Yes and No. And she changed because of Shennong. She left the Succubus Realm to be with him. It is not wrong to say Yenissa is basically like a criminal now." Her lips curled into a small smile. "And we followed her, because we couldn't live without her."
Rilith crossed her arms, her expression turning slightly serious. "I do wonder what our other sisters are doing. The ones that belonged to Yenissa."
Velara's smile faded. "Maybe they're dead."
Romina blinked. "What?"
Rilith shrugged. "Yenissa had a lot of rivals back in the Succubus Realm. If they couldn't protect themselves..." She trailed off, leaving the rest unsaid.
"That's insane," Romina muttered, shaking her head.
Rilith suddenly sniffed the air, her sharp eyes landing on Romina. "Speaking of insane," she said with a smirk, "why are you still a virgin?"
Romina's face turned red instantly. "Wh—what?!"
Velara tilted her head, amused. "Now that you mention it... how do you even survive without sex?"
Romina, still blushing furiously, turned away. "I-I'm just... not good with that stuff, okay?"
Rilith hummed thoughtfully. Then, a wicked grin spread across her face. "Why don't you ask Shennong to train you?"
Romina's entire body tensed, her blush deepening. "Wha—! It's not that easy for humans! I just met him..."
Velara and Rilith exchanged a glance, then shrugged in unison. "Humans are weird," Velara remarked. "If I were you, I would be bouncing on his juicy cock every day,"
Romina buried her face in her hands, trying to cool down. But then—
Something felt... wrong.
A sudden, sharp pain stabbed through her skull, and her body temperature spiked unnaturally. Her vision blurred, and her head pounded with an unbearable heat. The world tilted, and before she could react, she toppled off the chair she had been sitting on, crashing to the floor.
"Romina?!" Velara and Rilith both shot up, their casual teasing instantly forgotten.
Romina clutched her head, her breathing ragged. Then—fire erupted from her face. A searing, bright flame ignited across her skin, burning like an inferno.
She screamed.
Rilith and Velara recoiled in horror. "Shit—she's transforming!" Rilith shouted. "Just like that fire monster we fought when we first met her!"
Velara cursed under her breath, gripping Rilith's arm. "Stay back!"
But then, just as suddenly as it had started, the flames vanished.
Romina collapsed, panting heavily, her body trembling. The fire was gone, and she looked... normal again. But her breathing was uneven, and her entire body was drenched in sweat.
Velara hesitated only for a second before kneeling beside her. "Rilith, go get Shennong and Yenissa. Now."
Rilith didn't argue. She vanished in a blur, moving faster than any human eye could track.
Velara carefully helped Romina sit up. "We can't ignore this," she murmured, concern lacing her voice. "Something is seriously wrong with you."
Romina, still catching her breath, could only nod weakly in response.

Shennong stood beside the head maid, facing Lady Cassandra Percival, who sat gracefully before them. Her posture was refined—knees together, back straight, hands resting lightly on her lap—but Shennong's sharp eyes picked up on the finer details.
She was a woman who exuded pure maturity, the textbook definition of a real MILF. Her body was an absolute bombshell—generous curves, a full chest that strained against her elegant dress, and long, shapely legs crossed just enough to tease without meaning to. Her beauty wasn't the fleeting charm of a young girl but the refined, intoxicating allure of a woman who knew exactly how to carry herself. A soft, confident smile graced her lips, yet there was something in her gaze—something calculating beneath that noble elegance.
Curious, Shennong activated his skill. [Scannable].

Shennong raised a brow. She wasn't just some pampered noblewoman—her skills screamed influence, power, and careful control over those around her. This woman knew how to run things.
Just having a single look at her skills were enough for Shennong to realise this woman was someone he needed. It was rare for him to see anyone having this many skills from the people he scanned so far. He knew he needed to find five more individuals that were worth scanning.
"I scanned more thana hundred people but only four of them were registered in the system as people worthy to be scanned. It is actually crazy how hard it is to find people that can be worth enough to scan," Shennong thought to himself.
Cassandra's lips curled slightly as she turned to the head maid. "Is this the boy Lily suggested?"
The head maid gave a polite nod. "Yes, my lady."
Cassandra's sharp eyes returned to Shennong, studying him with an unreadable expression. "And what is his relationship with Lily?"
Shennong noticed something strange in her gaze. There was an edge to the way she spoke about Lily—something hidden beneath the words. A history, perhaps?
He answered simply, keeping his tone respectful. "I am her friend, my lady."
Cassandra hummed, leaning back slightly. "Is that so? What kind of work are you going to assign him?"
The head maid cleared her throat. "He will be working in the stables, my lady."
But Cassandra's expression shifted as she thought for a moment. Then, with a decisive smile, she spoke. "I've been searching for a new servant under me... This boy is perfect for the role."
The head maid stiffened. "My lady..."
Shennong could see her hesitation. She knew something. If the baron found out his wife had taken in a young male servant, there would be trouble.
Cassandra turned her gaze to the head maid, her voice firm. "This is my final decision. Act on it."
Shennong's eyes narrowed slightly. This woman is plotting something. But in the end, it didn't matter who schemed or made their moves. Because no matter what, he knew he would always come out on top.
