Chapter 720 - 664: The Golden Room (1/2)
”I'm curious about something.” Said Edward, turning his head toward the Succubus, who, instead of wearing the usual overly-revealing clothes, was wearing the MoonStar robe that's worn by the Inner Disciples. The robe was half black and half silver, certainly not pretty but it's definitely unique. There was a huge symbol of a Moon and a Star on the back, and thin lines at the front, beginning from the abdomen and stopping at the right shoulder.
”...”
Fariya did not reply, she was quietly watching the unfolding fourth Trial with interest and fascination. Although she's much stronger than those participants, she felt the urge to undergo those wondrous trials and see if she how she fares.
”Succubus Fariya, hello! I'm talking to you.”
”I heard you, criminal. I don't want to talk to you.”
”Hey, that's unnecessarily rude. I'm no longer a criminal, errr, let's say I'm an innocent fugitive as well as a commander of a sect army. You may be strong but, technically, my status is higher than you, a slave.”
”What's you say?”
The woman glared at him but did not apply any pressure, not wanting to cause trouble and get punished by Lucy, whom she now fears.
Fariya is as strong as an Exalted God yet against Lucy, even without trying, she knew she could do nothing. The disparity in strength is just too big, rendering the succubus unable to do nothing but bow her head respectfully and act docile, which is against her instinctual nature.
”As I said, I'm curious. Will you indulge me with an honest answer?”
Fariya snorted and didn't reply, no longer paying any attention to the mortal.
”The way I see it, in that prison, you were living in luxury. There was no reason for you to leave, was there?”
”...”
”You're obviously strong. A demon succubus, capable of stealing the hearts of Gods and Devils alike. Was becoming a slave a better option? I simply can't fathom it.”
He paused for a couple of breaths, scrutinising the woman and grunting.
”Mahap you were bored? But that's still enough to enslave yourself. Or was it love at first sight? I can't see that happening too. Whether it's on Earth or here, humans or demons, they all think the same.”
”Shut up and let me watch.” She retorted, keeping her voice down and vainly taking a step forward to get away from him.
Edward followed after her while sneaking a glance at the sitting Lucy.
