Are Succubi Really Demons?
Mei Gui Gao Qiang
There is a demon hiding among humans.His name is Ye Xiyao.A recent college graduate, currently job-hunting.On the surface, he looks no different from an ordinary human.And yet, the demonic power leaking from him is alarmingly strong.The Alliance Bureau of Supernatural Security has classified him as an SSS-level threat—a severe potential risk to the harmony and stability of human society.Xing Shu, the strongest exorcist of this century, lives by one ironclad rule when it comes to demons:eradicate on sight.Assigned by the Bureau, Xing Shu goes undercover and infiltrates Ye Xiyao’s life—by becoming the direct supervisor at Ye Xiyao’s internship company.Xing Shu deliberately places Ye Xiyao’s desk inside his own office.He “coincidentally” runs into him before and after work,leveraging every possible advantage of timing, location, and circumstanceto maintain 24-hour surveillance.The moment the demon reveals a flaw,Xing Shu will execute Ye Xiyao without hesitation.Ye Xiyao has a secret.To protect it, he rarely forms close relationships and usually keeps to himself.But recently…he made a friend.His new friend is named Xing Shu—who also happens to be his boss.He looks scary,but is actually very gentle and considerate(at least, that’s what Ye Xiyao thinks).Tall, handsome, and an amazing cook(also—only Ye Xiyao can testify to this).Ye Xiyao treasures this friendship deeply.So he decides to come clean about his secret.That day, Xing Shu suddenly seeks him out, saying he has something important to tell him.Ye Xiyao speaks first.“I also have something to tell you.”Under Xing Shu’s stunned gaze,a small tail grows from behind Ye Xiyao—curling timidly around Xing Shu’s wrist,just as shy and nervous as its owner.Ye Xiyao says softly,“Actually…”Xing Shu thinks:I know. You’re a demon. A powerful, vicious one that poses a grave threat to human society.Ye Xiyao:“I’m a succubus.”Xing Shu:“…I already knew, but—”Xing Shu:“…Huh?”#Wait, there’s a deal like this?#Hold on—do succubi even count as demons???In the early stages of the mission, Xing Shu faithfully records daily observation logsto analyze the weaknesses of this SSS-level demonand uploads them to the Bureau.[Observation Log: Demon Ye Xiyao][Physical Traits]Excessively high body temperature. Skin too pale. Unusual eye color.Lips extremely soft.(Last note crossed out.)[Habits]Afraid of the cold. Sleeps a lot. Dreams frequently.Not a picky eater. Good appetite.Eats very nicely. Sleeps without kicking off the blanket.Needs to be held for warmth when it’s cold.[Threat Level]Demon conceals himself well. No aggressive intent observed so far.Note: Bites hurt quite a bit.[Warning]Demon will use every means necessary to seduce humans!Note: Hah. A clumsy, insignificant trick.…At some point,Xing Shu stops submitting the logs altogether.One day, the Bureau Director finally contacts him.“You’ve been observing him for a long time. When do you plan to act?”In the midst of a raging snowstorm,Xing Shu carefully wraps a warm scarf around Ye Xiyao’s neck,pulls him securely into his arms,and then replies:“Mission canceled.”Director:“?”Xing Shu:“I defected.”#What kind of ‘strongest exorcist’ is this#That’s the strongest lovebrain, isn’t it?!
