Chapter 009: Lily's Solution
Just one glance at Wen Yang's student, and Ning Chu was already left with a terrible impression.
This kid was only in the second year of middle school, probably around thirteen years old, yet he was already about 1.7 meters tall... completely towering over her!
Kids these days are definitely growing up too fast!
And then there was her—barely 1.6 meters tall, with such a youthful face that she could easily blend in with the middle school crowd without anyone batting an eye...
Ning Chu shot the boy a glare but said nothing, heading straight into the library.
“What’s wrong?” Wen Yang asked, noticing her mood.
“Nothing,” Ning Chu replied curtly, watching as Wen Yang cheerfully slung an arm around the student’s shoulder. “Come on, time for class.”
The student noticed that Ning Chu seemed upset and, after a moment of thought, curiously asked, “Teacher, is she your girlfriend?”
“...”

Wen Yang’s smile froze for a moment. Although he was tempted to say yes, he knew it would only lead to trouble if Ning Chu overheard.
“Teacher, that’s illegal.”
Wen Yang’s smile stiffened further. “She’s eighteen.”
“Really?!”
The library they entered was located in the city center, the largest in the city, occupying a massive European-style building. Inside, apart from the general reading areas, there were also paid study rooms available.
Ning Chu walked into the library, curiously taking in the European-style architecture, while quickly scanning the room for any women.
First, there was a girl with pointy ears and white hair... maybe an elf? That was a first for her.
And there was a girl with ram horns on her head.
Ning Chu suddenly remembered a joke she’d heard, claiming that only male rams have horns, implying that a popular cartoon sheep character was actually a cross-dresser. But in reality, female sheep could also have horns, and some male sheep didn’t have them.
After a quick scan, Ning Chu felt a bit more at ease.
The few demi-human girls in the library hadn’t appeared in the novel, so they were likely unrelated to the plot. The other girls weren’t attractive enough to be plot-relevant characters.
“What are you spacing out for?”
Wen Yang, now accompanied by his student, approached her. “I’m taking him to the study room. What about you?”
“I... I’ll go find a book to read.”
Ning Chu hesitated, then suddenly took off her jacket and handed it to Wen Yang.
“You’re hot?”
“Just swapping. I think your jacket looks better.”
“...”
The jacket was a bit short on Wen Yang, not even covering the hem of his t-shirt, but on Ning Chu, it could cover her hips, and the sleeves were long enough that she couldn’t extend her hands out of them.
Ning Chu didn’t care about the fit; she just needed the protagonist aura that clung to Wen Yang’s jacket to protect her from any potential perverts in this plot-heavy library.
“I’ll come find you later.”
“Okay.”
Wen Yang pointed out the location of the study rooms and then left with his student.
Today, Ning Chu had more than one goal. Besides keeping Wen Yang out of trouble and avoiding being alone in the dorm, she also wanted to find some books on succubi in the library.
The information online was chaotic, with most of it being not safe for work. It would be better to find some professional literature here.
“Succubi, huh...” Ning Chu frowned as she wandered between the bookshelves, deep in thought.
“Aren’t demi-humans born that way? Why am I suddenly turning into a succubus? Is this some punishment for disrupting the plot?”
Based on the information she had gathered so far, she had originally been a girl in this world, with her "little brother" being nothing more than a useless appendage.
So, it was possible that she had always been a succubus but hadn’t exhibited any succubus traits before for some reason.
Wait! What about her mother in this world? Could she be a succubus too?!
The thought of her mother being a succubus left Ning Chu at a loss for how to react, so she decided to put that thought aside for now.
With the help of a librarian, Ning Chu eventually found a book on succubi after about ten minutes of searching.
She sat down with the book, flipping through it to find a solution to her arousal issues and to understand why she was suddenly becoming a succubus.
The book explained the pain conversion, heightened sensitivity, and random periods of heat, all of which aligned with the settings Ning Chu had written. But as she read further, she noticed some differences.
Succubi during their childhood were no different from normal human girls, only beginning to show changes during puberty.
As they developed, some grew horns, others a heart-shaped tail, but all succubi would eventually develop intricate markings on their lower abdomen as they neared full maturity... These markings signified that the succubus had fully matured and was ready to hunt any male they encountered.
Ning Chu instinctively touched her head.
Thank goodness, no horns.
She then touched her tailbone but found no signs of anything growing there.
“Good thing I didn’t turn into a complete non-human, at least not on the outside.”
Having figured out the general situation, Ning Chu could only sigh in resignation.
“So, the punishment for disrupting the plot likely just accelerated my development...”
She flipped through several more pages until she found a section on succubi’s periods of heat. The technical terms and complex research data were hard to understand, so she skipped to the conclusion.
“If suppressed for too long, it could lead to a complete loss of rationality.”
“It’s over.”
Ning Chu slumped onto the floor, dropping the book beside her.
Her mind was too overwhelmed to think about anything else, so she clung to one last hope and pulled out her phone, opening her chat with Lily the succubus.
“Are you there?”
Even though she hated starting a conversation like this, she was so nervous that her hands were shaking. She hoped for a different answer.
“Mm.”
“Can I ask... Have you ever been in a situation where you just couldn’t hold it back?”
“I read some information that said suppressing it for too long could cause a mental breakdown.”
Ning Chu anxiously clutched her phone, eagerly awaiting Lily’s reply.
A moment later, Lily sent a shopping link.
Could it be some kind of suppressant medication?!
Excited, Ning Chu clicked on the link, only to quickly exit, her face flushed.
It was a magic wand...
Then a series of similar links popped up one after another, each showcasing various adult toys—realistic, discreet, vibrating, heated, in all kinds of shapes...
Ning Chu had never seen anything like this in her life. Her face turned beet red as she trembled, closing each link one by one.
Lily then sent two provocative images, accompanied by a helpful reminder.
“You should try a few out and see which one works for you. And remember to keep everything clean.”
This was a completely different side of Lily than the cold, aloof goddess she usually appeared to be. Online, Lily seemed more like a... well, pervert.
The power of the internet was truly remarkable.
Lily sent another message with a website link. “This site is great!”
Ning Chu could only respond with an ellipsis.
“......”
Just as she sighed and stood up, picking up the book to put it back on the shelf, her phone buzzed with another notification.
Thinking Lily had more advice, she opened the message.
Wen Yang: [Confused kitten.jpg]
“!!!”
Ning Chu suddenly remembered something.
Her chat apps were linked with Wen Yang’s account!
All the messages she sent and received were visible on Wen Yang’s phone!
She had been so flustered that she hadn’t thought about this issue at all!
Initially, she had only considered using it to monitor whether Wen Yang was flirting with or being flirted with by other girls. She hadn’t thought about the fact that Wen Yang would also be able to see her private messages.
Now she wouldn’t be able to look Wen Yang in the eye ever again.
