Chapter 538 - 208: Brother Fei~, Be Our Master

SWISH.

After a quick look at the twelve unique items he had just acquired, Shen Fei’s gaze shifted to a corner of his villa’s main hall.

The Black Spade A!

Another important reason Shen Fei had chosen to inherit his abilities at his villa was to wait for the Black Spade A. Turning his head, he saw that, just as he’d expected, the illusory Black Spade A had solidified a bit more following the version update. Moreover, its main body was now more than halfway solidified.

Besides the main body, three temporary, single-use Black Spade As had also materialized next to it. Since three versions had completed their full update simultaneously, three temporary Black Spade As had materialized at once.

SWISH.

He glanced at the single-use items of Uniqueness, which could still create game-breaking exploits. Shen Fei immediately stored the three single-use Black Spade As in his inventory. Combined with the one he already had, the number of temporary Black Spade As in his inventory now totaled four.

Although updating three versions at once would inevitably cause all sorts of issues, Shen Fei had also managed to gain three Black Spade As from it. This was good news.

Of course, he also knew about the Red Heart A he had previously discovered in the hands of the Sea Race, in that special region of the Pacific Ocean. Those people had definitely received a batch of similar temporary items by now, and they wouldn’t have fewer than he did.

SWISH.

He silently observed the situation for a few more minutes. Seeing no further changes on his personal panel, Shen Fei felt that the game ability inheritance was more or less complete.

Just as he was about to tell his family he would be leaving again for the special region in the Pacific Ocean, his vision suddenly blurred. Two figures appeared right in front of him...

.

"What the—!"

Staring at the "creatures" before him, Shen Fei jumped in fright. They had small, black horns on their heads, pink wings on their backs, and were enveloped in a mysterious Aura. Of course, he could tell that the two figures were Li Xiaohong and [Succubus’s Tear], who had both inherited the Succubus bloodline. But he never expected their appearances to change so drastically after the full update to Version 4.6, the bloodline update.

"You...? You can’t control your appearance anymore?" Shen Fei couldn’t help but ask, looking at Li Xiaohong hovering before him with a flushed face.

Previously, when inheriting his abilities from Version 4.6, he had decisively chosen the Human Race bloodline. Therefore, even though Version 4.6 had just completed its full update, he hadn’t felt any strange changes. Before, however, Li Xiaohong had been forced to choose the Succubus bloodline because of the special abilities she’d inherited. Now, after the full update to Version 4.6, the normally shy girl was brazenly displaying her bloodline’s appearance.

Clearly, this wasn’t something she was doing on purpose; it was an unavoidable consequence of the full version update.

"Mmm~"

"Brother Fei~~"

"I can’t control it~~"

Looking at Shen Fei, Li Xiaohong was so nervous she could die, but she forced herself to speak quickly. As she spoke, her little tail involuntarily began to press up against him...

Just now, Versions 4.5, 4.6, and 4.7 had all completed a full update. Never mind that the full update to Version 4.5 had introduced new rules like quest levels, time limits, and frequencies. Or that the update to Version 4.7 had unlocked all restrictions for Human Race players, allowing for across-the-board enhancements.

Focusing just on the Version 4.6 bloodline update, players who had previously chosen the Human Race bloodline experienced no abnormalities. However, players who chose non-human bloodlines underwent massive changes. Specifically, the full update of Version 4.6 completely transformed their appearances. Although the update directly purified their bloodlines—allowing them to use all the abilities previously locked due to bloodline impurity—these players were now forced to go about with completely different appearances.

Li Xiaohong, who had inherited the Succubus bloodline, had cried out in alarm upon seeing her new appearance and immediately came looking for Shen Fei. As a member of the Succubus race, after the full update to the Version 4.6 bloodline, not only did she have to assume a Succubus’s appearance, but more importantly, a Succubus with a fully actualized bloodline had to bind to a "master." This was especially true for a virgin Succubus...

This was why Li Xiaohong had rushed over in such a panic.

SWISH.

Seeing Li Xiaohong and Shen Fei together, [Succubus’s Tear]—who had been standing by trying to play matchmaker—gave a smile, flapped her own Succubus Wings, and quickly departed, leaving the two of them alone.

"Brother Fei~~~"

Li Xiaohong, emboldened by the words of the veteran [Succubus’s Tear], saw that they were now alone. With a deeply flushed face, she called out to Shen Fei.

SWISH.

As Xiaohong cried out, her voice seemed to carry Magic Power. A warm current instantly surged through Shen Fei’s body, finally gathering in a certain region... At the same time, a delicate fragrance emanated from Xiaohong, wafting into his nostrils.

Although Li Xiaohong’s current goal, with her Succubus bloodline, was to bind a "master," she wasn’t doing anything on purpose. Yet her fully actualized bloodline still made her every move ignite a certain... feeling in Shen Fei...

.

[DING!]

[Player Li Xiaohong, in accordance with the rules of the Succubus bloodline, wishes to bind to you as her "master." Do you agree?]

[Reminder: Once bound as a Succubus’s master, you will be required to provide vigor to sustain the Succubus...]

[DING!]

[A Succubus may only bind to one master in her lifetime. Once bound, you will be inseparable!]

What left Shen Fei dumbfounded was that as Xiaohong spoke, his personal panel automatically opened, and lines of text scrolled across it.

"Huh?"

I can’t believe this is happening.

Staring at Xiaohong’s smooth, beautiful, and voluptuous Succubus body, Shen Fei’s mind went blank.

This...? This...? Is this even a thing?!

"Brother Fei, this is a problem that has to be solved now that the Succubus bloodline is fully actualized..." While Shen Fei was still reeling, Li Xiaohong’s alluring voice sounded again. "This is... this is... the rite of passage that a virgin Succubus must complete..."

Li Xiaohong’s voice grew quieter and quieter, until her face was so red it looked like it might start bleeding. "If... if I don’t bind... my Succubus bloodline will... it’ll... it’ll..."

Her face was beet red, and the little heart-tipped tail behind her twitched about nervously. And though Li Xiaohong’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, the emotionally-stirred Shen Fei heard every word clearly.

"Well..."

Shen Fei completely understood her situation. In the few minutes he’d been waiting, he had seen on the Forum that many players with non-human bloodlines were revealing their new forms and displaying various bloodline characteristics. Now that Xiaohong was putting it like that, Shen Fei found that... he wasn’t entirely against the idea.

"Then...."

Looking at the text on the panel and understanding Xiaohong’s intentions, Shen Fei was just about to open his mouth and agree when he froze again.

He saw that just as he was about to answer her, a Teleportation Gate composed of countless tiny, colorful cubes suddenly appeared before him. Then, as he and Li Xiaohong stared in bewilderment, a small figure stepped out of it.

"You...!"

Looking at the figure before him, Shen Fei was utterly flabbergasted. To be able to open a Teleportation Gate right into the Shen Family villa, it had to be someone to whom he had granted special permissions. Therefore, Shen Fei knew exactly who this person was. But he never expected that her appearance would have changed, too.

Clearly, she had also chosen a non-human bloodline...

"My esteemed Brother Fei!" the girl with a metallic sheen to her skin giggled, her voice laced with a robotic tone. "I have a non-human bloodline, too! And as someone with the Intelligent Mechanism bloodline, I need a master, too! The Succubus needs one, and your Intelligent Mechanism slave needs one, too~~~"
