"Hmph, you're already in my grasp, and you're still blaming me for others?" The succubus used her elemental power to freeze Ying's hands, preventing any sudden attacks. She shook her head helplessly. Although Ying wanted to resist, she could only let her hands be frozen because her child was in their hands.
"Hmph... I don't care. I just don't like your actions. No matter how nice you are to me, it's useless!"
Not to mention that I was doing it on purpose back then (￣へ￣)
"Arrived at the host."
(Well, it's quite useful when you can help.)
"Hee hee~"
"You're really stubborn... Although I don't want to... but I can't be polite with you any longer..." The succubus said, intending to push Ying against a nearby wall.
"Heh heh... The Millelith are here," Ying suddenly smiled at her and said.
"Huh?!"
"Don't move!"
"Let go of that girl!"
"The Millelith? They're already here this fast? Those useless guys... Hey! Why are you still lying on the ground pretending? If you don't resist, you'll be captured!"
The subordinates lying on the ground pretending to be dead quickly stood up and charged at the Millelith when they heard their boss. The succubus, with Ying in tow, broke through the chaotic crowd and ran straight towards her room, moving so fast that Ying couldn't react.
(What the heck! This succubus isn't playing by the rules?!)
"You can't escape. If you surrender now, you might get a few years off your sentence. Hurry back," Ying said earnestly after trying various methods to slow down the succubus without success.
"Heheheh~ I won't be content to be captured like this until my little cutie likes me!"
"If you want me to like you, then go surrender! (ᗜ˰ᗜ)"
"Based on my little cutie's current affection for me, I really can't believe you."
(Oh my... she guessed it right...)
"Hmph... The Millelith have already surrounded the exit. You can't escape, so give up!"
"That's not necessarily true~" The succubus brought Ying back to her room and shut the door behind them. The door, which had taken so many people to push open, was easily closed by her with one hand, demonstrating her immense strength.
"It's useless even if you close the door. There are more people than you. If you can succeed in such a short time, I'll take your surname!"
"Heheheh~ I always have a backup plan, you see~" The succubus walked to the bedside and lifted it forcefully, revealing a hole underneath that came into Ying's view.
"Is this... a secret passage?! Hey! There's a hole under the bed... Whoa?!" Before Ying could finish speaking, she was thrown down. When the succubus descended, the bed she had lifted returned to its original position.
"Ouch! My butt... Help!"
"They won't be able to get in for a while~ Let's go, my little cutie~" The succubus took Ying and walked forward.
(This person isn't just liking me... she's practically yandere...)
Ying struggled, but her height of only about 1.5 meters made her like a child in front of the succubus, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall. Her legs couldn't even reach the ground, and she could only flail them in the air.
"You're forcing me..."
Ying concentrated Geo energy in her hands, intending to break the ice. However, she quickly realized that this ice was much harder than the previous one. After careful observation, she found that it contained a vast amount of elemental energy. Her own Geo energy had been largely depleted by the previous attack, and the remaining energy was not enough to break it.
Unwilling to give up, Ying tried using Anemo energy again. Unexpectedly, her actions triggered a swirl reaction, and she was so cold she shivered, while the succubus, possessing Cryo abilities, felt nothing.
At the same time, Ying was surprised to find that this escape route had many forks. She had already seen three of them in the past few minutes.
"Hey! It's useless even if you take me out. This will only make me hate you more!"
"It's much more useful than being locked up in prison and not being able to see you~"
"You you you..." (Why is her mouth so eloquent? (t^t))
"Indeed, even this system can't win an argument with her."
(Well... I need to find a way quickly...)
"I I I! This system has a way, with a 99% success rate!"
(Oh? Tell me quickly...)
After a while...
Seeing that the Millelith had not caught up, the succubus quickened her pace. With a few swift steps, she brought Ying out of the hole. Looking at the dark surroundings, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"It's not dawn yet. It seems even heaven is helping me~"
"Peh! I'll say it now, if you take me with you, you won't be able to sneak out!" (It's so dark... why does this place give me a creepy feeling? So scary... Wait... creepy... Puhua Hill?!)
(If this is Puhua Hill, it would explain why it's so eerie... but the most important thing now is to save myself (t^t))
"Heheheh~ I'm not planning to escape right now. Even if I do escape... I'll need you to like me first~"
"Dream on! I told you, this will only make me hate you more!" (The surroundings are indeed a cliff, just as you said... Good!)
"There's no other way. This is the only path I can take now~"
Ying observed the succubus's position. As she got close, Ying unleashed all her remaining elemental power, sending her flying backward and crashing into a rock. Ying herself, due to exhaustion, lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Hiss— I didn't expect her... to still have such great strength..." The succubus said, shaking her head and getting up. Due to the suddenness of the attack and her inability to defend, Ying's explosive outburst had caused her considerable damage.
"Hah... Hah... My body feels so weak..."
The previous burst was a forced release by Ying through overexertion. Otherwise, with her remaining strength alone, she would not have been able to shatter the ice binding her hands.
"You look weak, my little cutie."
"Why didn't you... fall?!" Ying looked at the succubus in surprise.
"Heheheh~ If it weren't for those rocks, you might have sent me down the mountain~" The succubus walked over, looked at the immobilized Ying on the ground, and chuckled.
"It was blocked... even by that?!" (System... this is not what you said...)
"Uh... this is the only possibility of failure the system mentioned..."
(This luck... Is she the protagonist, or am I?!)
"Hmm... The system just consulted the author. The author said Hu Tao needs to appear, so she can't be taken out yet."
(E
"Mhm~ Is my little cutie softening up? Then I won't be polite anymore~"
