Although Ning Chu had said she was going to take a nap, in reality, she was far too restless to sleep.

She might even be at risk of insomnia tonight.

She had eaten too much yesterday...

Lying in bed, Ning Chu opened her chat window with her brother, but after a moment of hesitation, she decided not to tell him about adding Lili as a friend.

After all, Lili was only bold online, especially with strangers. If her brother met Lili, she feared Lili would clam up and barely say a word.

Convincing Lili to join her in her downfall, letting her brother have a cute succubus wife, and Lili wouldn’t have to rely on toys anymore—what a win-win!

Wait, Lili was loaded too. If her brother married into Lili’s family and brought home a bride price, it would be a win for everyone!

Ning Chu gleefully fantasized about the quadruple win: Lili’s chest was bigger, and she had money. Calling her sister-in-law would be no big deal.

The only issue was whether her brother could handle the succubus's strength.

Although Ning Chu had somewhat embarrassed herself last night as a succubus, it had been her first time and she lacked experience. Plus, her opponent was the berserk male lead of a harem novel, so it was normal for her to be overwhelmed.

But Lili was different!

That succubus had thoroughly refined her own skills. Ning Chu’s brother would probably be drained dry.

She suddenly had the urge to write a small harem novel about her brother and Lili!

Having already gathered firsthand material, her future erotic novels were bound to be more vivid and captivating!

But before she could let her thoughts wander too far, her brows furrowed slightly.

“Ugh...” Ning Chu uneasily clenched her thighs, troubled to find that after one experience, her body had become increasingly driven by the craving for more.

The moment she allowed even a little lewd thought into her head, her body reacted.

Wiggling her hips restlessly, she took a deep breath and pushed down that sudden impulse.

She had once been a man, after all. She couldn’t truly become someone who couldn’t go a day without a man!

Thankfully, she was at home right now, so no matter how strong the urge, she couldn’t act on it.

“Sis~ Help me with my homework!”

Hei Dou suddenly burst into the room, carrying two workbooks as she ran inside.

Her footsteps halted abruptly.

She twitched her nose, sniffing the familiar scent, and looked at Ning Chu, her face filled with curiosity and a bit of confusion.

Ning Chu’s face turned crimson in an instant, and she quickly pulled the blanket over herself, glaring at Hei Dou. “Get out!”

“Why?”

“I told you to go to sleep after eating the roast chicken last night, but what did you do? You ratted me out.” She turned her head away, pretending to be angry. “I don’t like disobedient little kittens. I won’t play with you anymore.”

Hei Dou scratched her head. “Sis, you’re so childish.”

“...”

Talking to kids really is like this!

Even if you were seventy or eighty years old, you’d still end up saying things like, “Eat your food” or “Drink your water” to them. Compared to that, her earlier words didn’t seem childish at all.

Ning Chu rolled her eyes at Hei Dou and didn’t bother to respond.

“Sis~ I won’t do it again~” Hei Dou immediately clung to her, wrapping her arms around Ning Chu’s and rubbing her cheek against it. “Sis~ Help me with my homework~ I promise I’ll go to bed early next time!”

“You’ll definitely do it again next time.”

Ning Chu snorted. Just like how she would feign repentance to her mother, Hei Dou’s apologies were equally insincere—just a means to an end.

But how could anyone resist such a cute kitten?

So Ning Chu got up and sat with Hei Dou at the desk. “Ask me if you don’t understand anything. And write neatly.”

“Okay!”

Hei Dou sat up straight and got to work on her homework with full focus.

That posture was surely her mother’s doing. Ning Chu had gone through the same thing when she was little—if she didn’t sit properly, she’d get a spanking.

Because of that, Ning Chu didn’t have any problems with hunching or slouching after becoming a girl. Those two things could ruin a girl’s poise, no matter how pretty she was—just a little hunching would ruin her grace.

Hei Dou’s serious and quiet demeanor was so adorable, it made Ning Chu’s maternal instincts kick in.

She glanced at Hei Dou’s handwriting, then at the obediently hanging cat tail behind her. Once she was sure the little kitten wasn’t slacking off, Ning Chu rested her chin on one hand and opened her phone’s browser with the other.

She searched online, “Are succubi prone to getting pregnant?” and began clicking through various websites.

From what she remembered, succubi were highly fertile, and they didn’t have reproductive barriers with humanoid species. But it was rare to see pregnant succubi in literature.

Maybe they stopped working after getting pregnant?

Her book didn’t specify anything about that, but...

After a brief look, Ning Chu’s expression turned grim.

In this world, succubi were indeed highly fertile... but the male lead might not be. In the book, none of the girls had taken any precautions with him, just like last night with her.

But there was no mention of children or pregnancies in the story. Since it wasn’t mentioned, it probably didn’t happen.

Maybe it was just a large quantity but low quality?

In any case, if she could dodge this bullet, she’d definitely take more precautions in the future...

She sighed in frustration. Even though she had taken the medicine, she was still anxious about the possibility of an accident.

“Sis, how do I do this one?”

“Let me see... This is such an easy problem. Were you not paying attention in class?”

“Maybe I was sneaking food when the teacher explained this one?”

Ning Chu flicked Hei Dou’s forehead, making the little cat yelp and cover her head, her ears and tail standing on end.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

“Listen carefully while I explain.”

“Okay!”

Although Ning Chu’s peak academic performance had been during her college entrance exams, and most of that knowledge had long since faded, elementary school problems were still a breeze for her.

“Got it!” Hei Dou nodded enthusiastically but then began looking at Ning Chu with curiosity. “Sis, you smell kind of weird.”

“...”

“It’s like...”

“Don’t describe it! I’m taking another shower!”

Ning Chu rushed out, embarrassed.

Who knew if the lingering scent was from Wen Yang or her own, but taking another shower certainly wouldn’t hurt.

It would be her third shower today. Her skin was practically rubbed raw...

Knock knock.

“Coming!”

While Ning Chu was in the shower, her mother heard a knock at the door. She got up to answer it, only to find Wen Yang standing there with a nervous, ingratiating smile.

“Auntie, I... I came to see you.”

Wen Yang used to only be a little shy around his future mother-in-law, but today, he was so nervous that he could barely string a sentence together.

“Auntie, I brought some gifts.”

Her mother frowned, a hint of disdain in her expression. “Why bring gifts? You could have just come.”

“I brought some workbooks for Hei Dou—Chinese, math, and English, plus a children’s version of Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms...”

Her disdainful expression softened, and she smiled slightly. “Not bad. Just leave them over there.”

“Okay.”

Wen Yang’s anxious heart finally settled. This time, he had brought the right gift!

“Hei Dou! Come see what Wen Yang brought for you!”

“Brother-in-law is here! Did you bring beef jerky? Pork strips? I love braised pig tongue too!” Hei Dou dashed out of the guest bedroom and immediately spotted the large bag by the TV cabinet, her eyes lighting up.

She rushed over, grabbed the bag, and sweetly called out, “Thank you, brother-in-law~”

“Mm, good girl.”

She seemed worried someone might take the bag from her, so she quickly retreated to a corner, opened it, and peeked inside.

Her face turned green when she saw the brightly colored workbooks.
