Ning Chu's maternal grandfather's house was located in a bustling village in the countryside. Upon entering the village, it was easy to spot numerous standalone self-built houses, but her grandfather's house was not particularly eye-catching among these villas.
It was a three-story self-built house, surrounded by a waist-high wall enclosing a small garden full of green onions, garlic, and flowers, with a large black dog also roaming the grounds.
The family arrived in a countryside electric tricycle and came to the front of the villa.
As always, the main gate of the wall was wide open. Her mother led the group inside, heading straight to the center of the garden and calling out, "Dad! Mom! Are you home?"
Ning Chu followed behind, her eyes wandering around, taking in the familiar scene that was exactly the same as in her previous life. Her gaze soon fell on the large black dog chained nearby.
"Little Black?"
"Woo!"
Unlike many of the people in this world, who were somewhat enhanced in appearance, this big black dog looked exactly the same as it did in her past life. It still had the same goofy and silly expression.
The moment the dog saw Ning Chu, it barked excitedly and wagged its tail so fast that it seemed to create a blurry afterimage, eagerly trying to leap up, but it was stopped by the chain, only able to stand on its hind legs.
Ning Chu cautiously stepped forward, uncertain if the dog had recognized her.
But as she got closer, the big black dog affectionately rubbed its head against her calf.
"Stop playing with the dog, it’s dirty," her mother glanced at her, continuing to walk inside while calling, "Dad! Ning Chu brought her boyfriend to see you!"
"This dog was something I found when I was little! My mom wouldn’t let me keep it, so I left it here with Grandpa!" Ning Chu squatted down, gently rubbing the black dog's head while looking up at Wen Yang. "I found it in kindergarten... so it must be around thirteen or fourteen years old now, right?"
"That’s really old, huh?"
"Yeah, it’ll probably die in a couple of years."
She lowered her head, staring at the dog, and ordered, "Sit!"
"Woof!"
"Still so obedient~ I used to walk it around the village like a boss! No one dared mess with me! Not even the geese!"
"Abusing your power with the dog, huh?"
"Yeah!"
Ning Chu replied proudly, standing firm in her justification.
Seeing the people and things she thought were long gone, now back by her side, Ning Chu felt a warm sense of tenderness in her eyes. She continued rubbing the dog’s head, silently reflecting.
It really felt like coming to this world was a reward from the heavens~
The only price, looking at it now, seemed to be her changing how she lived, but it was actually making her life better.
"Ning Chu? Isn’t today Monday? Why are you here?"
Wen Yang looked up at the sound of the voice and saw a woman who looked about in her early forties, with horns growing on her head, smiling as she walked into the garden.
"Grandma."
He greeted her, following Ning Chu.
Grandma cheerfully stepped forward, but then she noticed the horns growing from Ning Chu’s head and quickly approached with surprise. "Your horns look just like mine when I was young~ So beautiful~"
Ning Chu awkwardly touched her horns, standing up. "I didn’t want them. They feel so weird."
And they always give away that she’s a succubus.
Grandma reached out and gently stroked Ning Chu’s curved horns, smiling happily.
"Horns are great~ horns are great~"
Wen Yang didn’t have time to process what Grandma was saying and quickly nodded, agreeing.
Grandma turned to look at Wen Yang. Seeing his healthy, rosy complexion, strong build, and the vitality radiating from him, she smiled even more, revealing crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes.
Then she looked at Ning Chu, who was glowing with health, her skin smooth and hydrated, and her backside looked even fuller and ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) rounder than it did during the New Year.
At first, Grandma had worried that Wen Yang was too big for her little granddaughter, who was still a beginner succubus, small and delicate. She feared Ning Chu might not be able to handle it.
But now, it seemed like Ning Chu not only could handle it, but her appetite was growing. Grandma now found herself more concerned about Wen Yang’s health.
After all, succubi’s appetites always increase over time, while a man’s vitality and strength gradually decline with age. It was a trade-off.
So Grandma kindly took Wen Yang’s hand, patting it encouragingly. "Good, good."
But Ning Chu, watching this interaction, felt a hint of dissatisfaction.
She hadn’t forgotten that her grandmother was also a succubus, and this parallel world was merging with the small imperial world view where Wen Yang was still the male protagonist.
Even if the likelihood of that being true was minuscule... she had heard of rumors in her past life about families who all contracted AIDS, with only the husband remaining unaffected.
"You’ve met your dad?"
As they walked inside, Grandma asked casually.
"I met him... I hate him." Ning Chu’s expression darkened, lowering her head.
"Yeah, he’s really something," Grandma shook her head in resignation. "I don’t know why he came back. Fortunately, your mom isn’t stupid. She didn’t take him back."
"Yeah, that old man’s not bad," Ning Chu muttered.
She then asked curiously, "What about your brother? What do you think of him?"
"I don’t know, I haven’t asked."
But her brother had at least met their father when he was young, and he hadn’t had the same experience as she had in her past life.
He’d probably soften and accept him.
Ning Chu grumbled silently in her heart as she followed Grandma into a secluded room.
Grandma opened the door to reveal rows of bottles filled with fine wines Grandpa had collected. The most eye-catching were the transparent jars at the top.
Ning Chu had only seen these kinds of wines on TV before.
Five-poison wine, snake wine, and various other types of medicinal wines that left her speechless.
"Can we drink this...?" She took a step back, her face filled with disgust. "It looks kind of gross."
"Of course, you can drink it! And it’s great for toning up~"
Grandma had clearly played the role of "quality inspector" and had already experienced the effects of these wines herself.
It was drinkable and highly beneficial...
Ning Chu felt even more nervous, glancing at Wen Yang, who was looking at her with an expectant expression. She instinctively shrank her neck.
She was sure this could kill a succubus!
