[In the Demon Realm, the so-called "pureblood demon lineage" is not limited to a single race.]
[For example, Bai Xichu is a succubus, while Bai Yongzhe is a blood demon.]
[Although they are of different races, both possess pure bloodlines.]
[This is one of the fundamental requirements for becoming a Demon Lord.]
[The status of succubi in the Demon Realm, however, is not particularly high—one could even say it is exceptionally low.]
[The reason lies in the fact that lower-level succubi can only rely on their physical charm and the power of allure to control others for their own benefit.]
[Aside from that, they lack many offensive abilities.]
[This inevitably makes them dependent on the strong.]
[Because of this negative reputation,]
[Bai Xichu has always been very self-conscious about her bloodline.]
[She has even gone so far as to ensure that no demons within her domain know her true racial identity.]
[But in truth,]
[true high-level succubi are not merely dependent beings.]
[They can also study magical arts and divine abilities,]
[albeit at a slower pace.]
[Moreover, they possess a unique skill akin to the life-bound divine abilities of the Beast Tribe.]
[A skill they can only use once in their lifetime.]
[And after its use, they lose their ability to charm others.]
[This exceptionally demanding skill is called the Succubus Mark.]
[When a high-level succubus places the Succubus Mark on another demon,]
[it signifies her wholehearted acknowledgment of that demon.]
[Along with the transfer of a large portion of her cultivation to help them ascend to greater heights.]
[In short, the Succubus Mark is the most precious gift a succubus can give.]
[All demons covet it, treating it as a treasure.]
[However, the Succubus Mark can only be given voluntarily; forced imposition renders it completely ineffective!]
[After hearing Bai Xichu's explanation,]
[Ye Yu nodded thoughtfully.]
[He hadn’t expected Bai Xichu to bestow something so precious upon him.]
[To be honest, she’s actually a pretty nice person!]
[Bai Xichu lowered her head slightly, her face hidden in the shadows tinged with a faint blush.]
[In truth, she hadn’t fully explained the functions of the Succubus Mark.]
[Once the Succubus Mark is placed, it signifies that the two individuals become eternal demonic partners,]
[bound to one another, inseparable even in death!]
[Furthermore, after their union,]
[the succubus can rapidly regain the cultivation she transferred.]
[By dual cultivating together, the pair's cultivation speed becomes extraordinarily swift, akin to traveling a thousand miles in a day.]
[It could be said that high-level succubi are the ideal partners.]
[They are also the most sought-after companions in the Demon Realm.]
[Unfortunately, high-level succubi like Bai Xichu are as rare as phoenix feathers.]
[Previously, Bai Yongzhe's anger had stemmed from this very fact.]
[He felt it was a waste of Bai Xichu's potential.]
[As a respected Demon Lord, and with the added benefit of the Succubus Mark,]
[shouldn’t she have her pick of the strongest Demon Lords in the Demon Realm?]
[No matter whom she chose, such a partnership would undoubtedly lead to great achievements!]
[How could Bai Xichu settle for a demon whose bloodline wasn’t even pure?]
[Wasn’t this a blatant squandering of a priceless treasure?]
[But Bai Xichu had no regrets.]
[To date, Ye Yu was the only demon she didn’t find repulsive.]
[In fact, she even quite liked him.]

[The decision to give him the Succubus Mark was entirely her own choice.]
[She firmly believed they would have a happy future together.]
[But confessing such feelings outright was a bit too much for a demoness!]
[Now that her veil had been removed and the Succubus Mark given,]
[Ye Yu, couldn’t you at least say something?]
[Bai Xichu lifted her head slightly, her eyes filled with faint anticipation.]
[Ye Yu seemed to sense this,]
[his gaze toward Bai Xichu taking on a deeper meaning.]
[He spoke slowly, “Should I say something to you?”]
[Bai Xichu instantly felt a surge of nervousness.]
[Her hands clenched tightly within her sleeves, her entire body tensing.]
[Yet she feigned calmness and replied, “What do you want to say?”]
[Ye Yu replied earnestly, “Thank you.”]
[Those three simple words completely shattered Bai Xichu’s composure.]
[In that moment, she even considered killing him on the spot.]
[The Succubus Mark symbolizes a succubus’s heart and devotion.]
[And all she gets in return is a “thank you”?]
[I must be insane!]
[Yet Ye Yu genuinely felt grateful.]
[Though Bai Xichu had taken him away from the battlefield prematurely,]
[she had ultimately helped him ascend to the next cultivation level.]
[In Ye Yu’s eyes, she was truly a good person!]
[But why did the face of this “good person” look so off?]
[Her eyes practically radiated fury, as if they could ignite flames.]
[Was she upset that his thanks seemed so insincere?]
[Just as Ye Yu was about to speak again,]
[a familiar voice called out from the distance.]
[“Sir! Sir!”]
[Ye Yu turned his head to see Bu Haoyan rushing over.]
[Though disheveled, he appeared largely unharmed.]
[Ye Yu was astonished. How had Bu Haoyan managed to survive amidst the siege of the six sects?]
[Curious, Ye Yu promptly asked how he had escaped.]
[Bu Haoyan explained that after Bai Xichu and Bai Yongzhe began their duel,]
[battles broke out between Heavenly Dragon Cliff and the six sects.]
[Remembering Ye Yu’s earlier advice,]
[Bu Haoyan wasted no time in retreating.]
[Before leaving, he instructed all disciples and elders of Heavenly Dragon Cliff to scatter and retreat tactically, regrouping at headquarters to prepare for a counterattack.]
[Managing to achieve even that much was already an impressive feat for Bu Haoyan.]
[As luck would have it, he had stumbled upon Ye Yu in this very place.]
[Overcome with emotion, Bu Haoyan’s eyes reddened. “Sir, I’m so glad to see you and the lady safe and sound!”]
[Ye Yu was about to nod when his expression froze.]
[“The lady?”]
[“What lady?”]
[Are you actively seeking death?]
[Last time, you called her a scheming succubus.]
[Now you greet her directly as the lady of the house!]
[You’ve truly mastered the art of social interaction, haven’t you?]
[But do you not care about the Demon Lord’s reputation at all?]
[Do you think she’s some harmless girl next door?]
[Don’t forget, she’s capable of killing you!]
[Ye Yu quickly covered Bu Haoyan’s mouth, his grip so firm it almost distorted Bu Haoyan’s face.]
[Without sparing him another glance, Ye Yu turned to Bai Xichu and said softly, “Demon Lord, his brain must have been damaged. Please don’t take offense!”]
[Honestly, Bu Haoyan’s consistent recklessness made Ye Yu wonder if the man possessed some hidden talent.]
[Like, maybe he got stronger the more he courted death?]
