Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

"Kael... Kael..."

Elanna’s voice trembled slightly as she spoke, "Next time you’re going to do something like this, please, please give me a heads up first."

Kael hooked up a smile, revealing a slightly sharp little canine tooth and provocatively said,

"Then next time become stronger, strong enough that you don’t need me to heal your wounds.

Let’s go. Now that we’ve got what we need, let’s stroll around the commercial district!"

...

[Royal Capital - Commercial District]

Lan Xiao Yu, following her usual routine, had completed her day’s work. She looked at the System column packed with dense data, which was a common occurrence during her workdays in the Royal Capital.

On an ordinary day, she would work at the Earth Mother Goddess Church in the Royal Capital, which didn’t pay too many Demon Crystals, just enough to make ends meet.

After all, the game prides itself on realism, and the cost of living in the Royal Capital was significantly higher than in Lancaster, so the Demon Crystals she earned would quickly be spent.

Fortunately, the Royal Capital offered plenty of entertainment. Not to mention, occasionally heading over to a cabaret to listen to music, having a Winged Person tucking into your arms, while a golden-haired jade-faced Fox Woman meticulously trimmed your nails.

Life like this is so blissful... Are you envious? It’s what you get in exchange for 5 days of work!

Of course, some might criticize Lan Xiao Yu for lacking ambition, staying in the Royal Capital without taking advantage of these good times to take on various quests.

But what could Lan Xiao Yu do? Brother Kael allowed them to return to Lancaster, but Lan Xiao Yu knew well that her work involved intelligence work.

There was no fertile ground for intelligence work in Lancaster. With such a large number of players cultivating there, the information they could gather was far greater than what she could obtain on her own. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The less crowded Royal Capital was the place that truly needed tending.

Almost every day, she could gather lots of new information about the future development of players.

Even now, some clubs had approached Lan Xiao Yu, hoping to investigate various aspects of the Duchy through her connections in the Royal Capital.

And they paid with real-life cash; this was tangible money!

Lan Xiao Yu saw no reason not to accept, so she decisively chose to stay in the Royal Capital to continue collecting her intelligence.

Only, today’s intel had taken her somewhat by surprise.

Brother Kael had already earned the recognition of Baron Lion Heart, securing his position and even qualifying to take part in the struggle for succession?

Looking at this information, Lan Xiao Yu was momentarily dumbfounded.

As many players had guessed, an NPC with such high attractiveness wasn’t something a team of modelers could create a second time around, so how could those sneaky planners cast aside Brother Kael so easily?

As expected, here he was, the son of the new version, bearing a clearly visible future and running to them!

While the players of Lancaster were busy managing their small estates, Brother Kael had quietly taken a few extra steps, starting to plan for the future of the Duchy.

This was indeed a rare opportunity. She wondered what Brother Kael was up to now? With his personality, he was probably hiding somewhere, building up his strength in secret, quietly developing until the moment came to dazzle everyone, right?

That kind of playboy accompanying a woman on a shopping spree in the commercial district was out of the question...

Forget I said anything!

Lan Xiao Yu looked on in puzzlement as Kael and Elanna descended from the carriage, laughing and chatting. She had been munching on a bread, but now, suddenly, the wheat smell of the bread didn’t seem appealing anymore.

Noticing someone looking their way, Kael glanced over and spotted Lan Xiao Yu, who stood there with bread in mouth, and waved at her from afar as a greeting, but clearly without any intention of coming over.

The two laughed and talked as they walked away, and Lan Xiao Yu watched them leave with envy, contemplating her own situation. Despite being quite attractive in reality, no one dared to court her, which meant she had to suffer the pain of watching others parade their romance in-game.

No way, when had Lan Xiao Yu ever suffered such an indignity? She must secretly follow them to see what they were up to!

As for the private fantasies where she and a bunch of other men and women called Brother Kael their husband in the game while watching him show affection to another woman—

She wasn’t sour, not in the slightest!

Mainly because even if she were sour, it’d be of no use, and Kael’s admirers might even denounce her as a heretic for wishing to monopolize Brother Kael for herself.

"Let’s find out what these two are really up to!"

Your journey continues with empire

Lan Xiao Yu smacked her forehead and made up her mind.

...

On the other hand, Kael and his companion were walking and talking cheerfully on the road.

As they walked, they suddenly heard a melodious voice singing from a corner of the commercial district.

Kael looked up towards the huge magic crystal screen of the commercial district, where a girl in a sea-blue long dress sang softly. Her magnificent voice and graceful movements seemed less like a performance and more like she was attending a grand evening banquet.

"She’s really pretty!"

Even Elanna, an Ice Rose herself, couldn’t help but show a look of admiration for the girl, realizing that women can sometimes appreciate beauty from other beauties even more.

Kael looked at the image currently being displayed on the crystal screen. The softly singing girl, with her hair being tossed by the wind, possessed a profound aura like the deep sea – indeed, breathtakingly beautiful.

However, it wasn’t her beauty that drew the most attention but rather her race.

The ear fins fluttering like scales and the tail below her torso informed all onlookers that she was a Mermaid Singer.
