The Half-Elf and Half-Succubus

“What… what happened? I just…”

Ciel’s words struck Ren Daozhen’s chest like a heavy hammer, instantly jolting him awake.
He shook his head, feeling utterly bewildered.

“You were just affected by that woman’s charm. To be precise, everyone in the entire hall fell victim.”

Ciel handed him a towel, her expression grave as she looked at the s*ave girl.

Even she had nearly fallen prey to it moments ago.
Fortunately, the Stardragon power within her bloodline granted her immunity to most mental attacks.

This woman, even bound, blindfolded, and immobile, could drive countless people to madness with merely the charm she exuded.
The term ‘femme fatale’ was truly the most fitting description for her.

“Is that s*ave girl a succubus?”

Ren Daozhen dried himself, observing that many guests outside the ring were still lost in their enchantment.
He couldn’t help but ask.

“Judging by the horns on her head and the wings on her back, she should indeed be a succubus. However, under normal circumstances, succubi typically have black, white, or red hair, and their horns are primarily goat-like.

Yet, her hair is silver-gold with a lustrous sheen, and her horns have a woody, stony texture, also silver. Is she a mutated variant?”

“Hmph! How unsightly.”

Just as Ciel was deep in thought, a cold snort echoed from one of the upper-level private rooms.
Immediately after, a dazzling holy light erupted from above, illuminating the entire venue.

The frenzied guests quickly settled down, their wicked thoughts instantly purified, leaving them as calm as if they had entered a sage’s contemplation.

Many also realized their previous conduct had been utterly disgraceful.
Overcome with shame, they turned to the host, seemingly demanding an explanation.

“Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you the very first hybrid of a succubus and an elf in the entire history of the Western Fantasy Realm!”

As he spoke, the host removed the s*ave girl’s mask, revealing her captivating heterochromatic eyes—one side rose-pink, the other sapphire-blue.

Merely glimpsing those heterochromatic eyes, the desires that had just subsided in many hearts flared up once more, almost sending them into another frenzy.

“As you can all see, this s*ave girl is the offspring of a Light Elf and a succubus, inheriting the excellent bloodlines of both parents. She possesses an innate allure; a single glance from her can make those with weak wills worship her. She also boasts exceptionally high magical talent. With a little training, she can serve as a bed-warming maid for your home or travels, or even as your personal bodyguard. As a collector’s item, her value is immense.”

The host expounded on the numerous benefits of this s*ave girl.
Her mere status as a succubus-elf hybrid alone would multiply her worth several times over, making her utterly irresistible to collectors.

“Furthermore, as you all surely know, succubi feed on men’s vitality, and prolonged absorption can harm the body. However, as a hybrid, she not only causes no harm but can even enhance one’s personal magical power.”

“Isn’t that just a cultivation cauldron?”

Ren Daozhen couldn’t help but retort.

The host’s words immediately sparked fervent discussion among the crowd.
Such a supreme physique was incredibly rare, a treasure one could only dream of encountering, for even elves didn’t necessarily possess this unique constitution.

“How could you know all this so clearly? Is she no longer a virgin?”

A guest from the audience posed this question, though it bordered on asking the obvious.
As the first-ever succubus-elf hybrid, with no prior examples to reference, her characteristics could naturally only be determined through direct examination.

“Regarding that… you may all rest assured, for this child possesses another unique physique: she is an ‘infinite virgin’!”

“What the f*ck!”

Ren Daozhen’s mouth twitched.
‘What kind of hentai premise is this? And does ‘virginity’ only depend on the hymen?’ he thought.

“Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho—!”

The atmosphere in the venue was reignited, with countless scorching gazes sweeping over the s*ave girl.

Sensing those lecherous gazes, the s*ave girl trembled, her eyes revealing a look of fear and timidity.

Yet, her pitiful, fragile appearance only served to further ignite the men’s desires.
Many were already impatient to bid and take this beauty home.

“I bid one million!”

Before the host could even announce the starting bid, someone had already shouted out.

“One million? That’s nothing! You pauper, I bid five million!”

“Only five million? I bid ten million!”

“What the hell, are they all crazy? So much money!”

The bidding had already soared to ten million right at the start.
Ren Daozhen couldn’t help but curse under his breath, then slumped back onto the sofa.

Although he had initially felt a stir of desire, he had little money left on hand, lacking even the qualification to participate in the bidding.

“Oh, right, Head Maid, didn’t you want to auction for some slaves to train as maids? What do you think of her?”

“Her? Unsuitable.” Ciel shook her head, showing no intention of bidding. “She’s only fit to be a bed-warming courtesan, not a maid. What? Do you want her?”

“I… uh, no… I don’t want her…”

Ren Daozhen adopted the demeanor of an upright gentleman, speaking with a serious expression.

“I know myself quite well. Such a high-class s*ave isn’t something someone of my standing could afford to enjoy.”

Ren Daozhen knew perfectly well that a ‘femme fatale’ like this, without formidable power to back him, would only bring disaster if acquired.
He couldn’t possibly ask Ciel to pay for her and then protect him; even a kept man wouldn’t go about it that way.

“Fifty million! Are there any other bidders?”

As the two conversed, the s*ave girl’s bidding price had already soared to a staggering fifty million—certainly not a small sum.

However, upon reaching this price, the bidding once again hit a bottleneck; no one continued to raise the offer.

“Huh?”

Ren Daozhen suddenly noticed something peculiar: the bidders seemed to be exclusively adventurers from the lower tiers, with occasional bids from mid-to-lower level private rooms.

Yet, the upper-tier private rooms remained silent, showing no interest in the auction whatsoever.
‘What’s going on? Do they look down on this s*ave girl? Or is there another reason?’ he wondered.

“Do you know why those upper-class individuals aren’t participating in the bidding?”

Ciel, who was beside him, seemed to know something and slowly began to speak.

“Why?”

“Because… if they were to spend a fortune buying this s*ave, it would all be for naught. Soon enough, slavery will no longer exist in this country.”

“What do you mean?”

“Exactly what it sounds like. Slavery is about to be abolished.”

“What exactly is going on? Can you tell me about it?”

“Of course. Do you remember what I mentioned before? The political forces within the Theia Theocracy can be broadly divided into three factions, represented by the three great families—Uno, Anhel, and Aifeo—who champion humanity, elves, and angels, respectively!”
