“I’m so mad. It didn’t work!”

Inside the Shadow Church, the succubus Lily had just returned from her trip, fuming.

Of course, with Master in seclusion, her only audience was her companion, Aisa.

“You met her? How’d it go?” Aisa asked.

Lily got even more annoyed. “Don’t even mention it. I tried to get her to come over willingly. I laid out all the pros and cons, told her all the benefits, the future, the growth. Even modern companies poaching talent with huge offers wouldn’t go that far.”

Aisa lightly rubbed her fingertips together. “And then?”

The book-loving girl wasn’t reading today for once.

She was looking at her phone instead.

“And then she didn’t understand a damn thing. I was talking to a wall,” Lily said, too angry to keep going. “She has no idea how the powers in this world are divided, and she doesn’t understand strength at all. She’s basically some spoiled little princess who knows nothing about the world.”

Other than laying cushions and pouring tea, though, a princess probably wouldn’t know those two things either.

“That’s really a shame,” Aisa echoed perfunctorily. “But Master will handle it.”

Lily could tell very clearly that her companion’s mind wasn’t on the conversation at all.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing.”

Naturally, she got nothing more out of her. Aisa usually didn’t talk much, but whenever they chatted, she always controlled the flow of the conversation.

That was probably the difference reading made.

Lily stared at her suspiciously for a long while, then suddenly thought of something. “Now that I think about it, after getting the blood, you didn’t analyze much about Luo Xiaoxiao, did you? If you’d told me before I left that she was this kind of person, I wouldn’t have wasted so much breath.”

She’d even spent forever explaining things like this realm, the Transcendent Realm, and the Source Realm.

In the end, the girl acknowledged none of it. She only cared about present strength.

“Mhm, no,” Aisa said, brushing back her hair. “Anything I didn’t tell you wasn’t important. As for why I could see so little, it might be because her bloodline rank is too high.”

“Really?” Lily carefully looked over the quiet beauty in front of her.

She had smooth, elegant golden hair, with a big bow tied over her bangs. Her temperament was gentle and refined, exactly the kind of “girl next door” parents loved.

She was petite from hardly ever exercising. She also didn’t have Lily’s assets, but that only made her seem more delicate and lovable.

But Lily knew this girl was nothing like the obedient good child parents imagined.

In truth, she was a full-on shut-in otaku.

Usually, she was either holding a wordless book or playing on a tablet or phone.

“Really.” Aisa drew the phone closer to herself, leaving Lily no chance to peek. “I’m not lying to you.”

Aisa wasn’t lying. Luo Xiaoxiao’s bloodline rank was too high. Even the Book of Isaac couldn’t see more complete information about her.

If it had been an ordinary person, a little venous blood would’ve been enough for Aisa to learn their name, sex, sexual orientation, personality, crush, spouse, children, and even who they first used for masturbation.

But when it came to Luo Xiaoxiao, all she could get was the most basic information.

Name: Luo Xiaoxiao. Former name: Luo Xiao.

Sex: Female. Age: Eternal loli.

Contact: XXXXXXXX (QQ number)

But Aisa was someone who liked probing the unknown.

Especially information she couldn’t uncover herself.

So she had already added the girl on QQ long ago, interacting with her as an ordinary online friend to learn more about Luo Xiaoxiao.

Mm. That was the only thing she hadn’t told Lily.

“If you’re not lying to me, then why won’t you let me see your phone?” Lily said unwillingly. “You’re definitely hiding something from me.”

The blonde beauty remained calm. “Please respect other people’s privacy. No matter who it is, nobody wants to hand their phone over for someone else to look through.”

Aisa was usually quiet and gentle, true.

But online, she was a completely different person.

She perfectly embodied what it meant to be a keyboard warrior.

So if Lily ever found out about the things she’d encouraged Luo Xiaoxiao to say before, she’d be done for. Even if Lily didn’t tattle to Master, it would still mean someone had leverage over her.

She secretly lowered her head and glanced at the last few messages—

[I’m a macho man: Wuwuwu, Unhappy was mean to me today. So fierce. She even said such heartless things.]

[Little Sunny Barometer: Then screw her up. Why does she get to yell at you? Who gave her that right!]

See? That was exactly what a trash-talking keyboard warrior looked like.

[I’m a macho man: Hmph. I’m a sensible grown man. I’m not gonna argue with her over this. I’ll just apologize and admit I was wrong. Consider it giving her a way out.]

If Aisa had known what Luo Xiaoxiao had really been thinking at the time, she definitely would’ve sighed and said: so you’re the same as me, another keyboard warrior whose online mouth is harder than the Shield of Sighs.

Sadly, she didn’t know that.

So instead, she sighed:

[Little Sunny Barometer: You little airhead, you’re seriously an angel. If Unhappy ever doesn’t want you anymore, come join me instead.]

Most of the ones up there weren’t good people, sure, but a few angels were pretty nice, so calling her a little angel as praise was totally fine.

[I’m a macho man: She’d never bear to throw me away, hmph. The second I apologize, she’ll totally take the chance to back down. She even looked like she was about to apologize to me too, I just beat her to it.]

[I’m a macho man: Not chatting anymore. I’m going to sleep first. Night-night.]

[Little Sunny Barometer: Mhm, sweet dreams.]
