Chapter 5: Qualified Candidates

Ino lives at the very bottom of the succubus society, her status being no different from that of an ordinary lowly demon. Any guest who had previously taken an interest in Ino would become furious due to her gender.

The figure, somewhat fearful, stepped out from behind and approached Zenathis, trembling under the oppressive aura emanating from him

Actors have always been a profession worthy of respect, as veteran performers have left humanity with countless classics through their acting skills. These spiritual treasures are far more important than physical pleasures.

Your Highness, if you like, I would not mind offering this body to you, just please do not make me go back there...

Zenas also noticed that a figure had been waiting at the door for a long time, but the other party showed no intention of coming in, so Zenas chose to selectively ignore it

As Joshua spoke these words, he realized that the gaze of the demons working in the reception hall towards him had subtly changed, and even Inno in front of him covered her mouth, falling into astonishment

She gently bit her lower lip, and then, as if resigned to her fate, closed her eyes and spoke of the fundamental reason for her humiliating life.

Qiao Xiu thought for a moment and came up with a more suitable explanation

Can I really do it

Zenas extinguished the flames that were emanating from his body, and the surrounding temperature returned to normal

Although Ino did not know what kind of work Qiao Xiu was referring to, the likes and respect that followed were all a kind of luxury for her. The best situation she could envision upon coming here was to live on as the "toy of the Third Prince"

Her attire is also different from the succubus that Qiao Xiu reviewed earlier

"Your Highness wishes to meet? Wait a moment, my lord, are you mistaken? This despicable fellow is not one of our clan..."

Then why are you being rejected by your own kind

Qiao Xiu has little interest in men

This is not a request, it is an order

Qiao Xiu did not know whether the concept of a man existed in this world, but the phrase he heard most often from his father on Earth was this one

Qiao Xiu stared at her crimson pupils and slowly repeated the question he had just asked.

Qiao Xiu wrote Ino's name on the last blank sheet of paper and affixed his seal, which represented his identity, granting Ino the right to enter and exit the imperial city in the capacity of the Third Prince

Your race should indeed be that of a succubus

"Boys? It doesn't matter."

However, such vulgar things can never compare to true cinema. Film is an art form that has profoundly influenced Joshua's life, providing him with strength, such as in "The Pianist on the Ocean" and "The Shawshank Redemption" among others

Thank you for your participation, the next one.

Adult... May I ask what the matter is

It is not a matter of how many times.

The few succubi who had just been eliminated took a step back in fear upon seeing the massive figure of Zenathus. The Sin Demons are notoriously a race that is devoid of any lust; the little tricks of the succubi are utterly ineffective in the presence of the Sin Demons.

Qiao Xiu certainly knows what these fellows have misunderstood; even in another world, same-sex relationships are still not accepted

Zenith whispered to Joshua, and given Zenith's size, even if his voice was very soft, it could still be heard clearly throughout the entire hall

"You do not have the right to choose, Miss Inno," said Joshua

The succubus race is predominantly composed of females, with very few male succubi being born. The status of male succubi within this community is extremely low, as they are inherently devoid of any succubus talents, destined to be unable to enhance their power through the method of absorbing the "essence" of other lives.

Zenith stepped forward, signaling Inno to follow him, and Inno took a hesitant step out.

Ino has inherited the cunning little traits of the succubi; she still remembers the gazes of those succubi before they left. If His Highness the Prince is unwilling to accept her and sends her back... she cannot imagine what kind of torment she would endure

She appears to be quite a beautiful girl, but unlike those seductive enchantresses whose every smile and frown can evoke desire in others, her anxious expression can stir the protective instincts of any man

His Highness wishes to see this fellow

It is fortunate that Qiao Xiu's sexual orientation is quite normal

When Inno learned that she had caught the prince's attention, she initially thought that His Highness the prince would also fall into a rage of being deceived upon discovering her gender in the end

Zenathus pointed at the figure behind the group of succubi and said

At the very least, Qiao Xiu knows how to correct flaws such as cowardice and timidity, but for a girl with a personality like Bi Chi... there is no hope, truly no hope. Qiao Xiu has always kept his distance from such girls, regardless of how beautiful they may be

Quite good, your qualifications are just right.

As you command

... ... Inuo, why aren't you hurrying over there

Your Highness, please do not worry, my words are still... the first time

Were they rejected by their own community? Or were they discriminated against due to some inherent flaw?

Therefore, Qiao Xiu is unwilling to see the art of his predecessors on Earth being tarnished in his hands

As Zenas spoke, a faint green flame erupted from his mouth, causing the surrounding air temperature to rise by more than ten degrees in an instant, reaching an unbearable level of heat

The succubi recruited by Zenus are truly exceptional, each one surpassing the last, to the point where Joshu is genuinely considering a career change to enter the film industry. Within just a few years, they will undoubtedly lower the average physical fitness of the human race by several percentage points

Qiao Xiu looked up and down at the person in front of him again; no matter how he viewed her, she was undeniably an adorable girl. Therefore, after weighing his options, Qiao Xiu decided to describe her as such for the time being

The position of the female protagonist is tentatively assigned to her, so Qiao Xiu should begin to attempt to correct her timid personality. The first step is to provide her with an opportunity to gain confidence

"Yes." She continued to respond in an extremely timid voice

His Highness wishes to see you, follow me

I have a task to assign to you. Perhaps you succubi can easily capture a man's heart with your bodies, but the task I am giving you, if you perform it exceptionally well... will allow you to effortlessly win the hearts of countless men and even women. They will come to like you, regardless of their race, and you and the library will receive the respect you deserve, and even greater respect than that.

She clutched the hem of her coarse cloth garment with both hands, lowering her head and daring not to meet Qiao Xiu's gaze, as silver-white strands of hair slipped down from beside her ears

The charm possessed by her appearance alone is sufficient to take on the role of the leading lady in any film. Although her temperament is slightly timid, it is still much better than the previous ones who had an excessively seductive and shallow demeanor.

Qiao Xiu gazed at her, questioning whether the name he had just heard was correct

The last one? Isn't there still one waiting at the door? Let her in

Body? No... what I want is not your body

Because ... ...

Now answer my previous question, why are you rejected by your own kind

"Stand tall, be a bit more confident, and don't forget that you are a boy. Don't let those women outshine you," said Joshua

Zenith took him to change his clothes, remember to change into men's attire

Lift your head and look at me

At the moment Qiao Xiu spoke these words, she opened her eyes and looked at Qiao Xiu with a surprised expression

The scene that unfolded at the entrance was witnessed by Qiao Xiu, and the attitude of those succubi struck him as somewhat strange

It is very outdated and rough, completely resembling the attire of a servant

She still believed that His Highness the Prince chose to keep her because he had a preference in this regard, and apart from her own body, she truly had nothing else.

Thus, the demons of sin have also taken on the role of overseeing the order of this city, in short, they are the police

Qiao Xiu glanced at the bat-like wings and long tail behind her. Some high-level succubi even possess legs resembling those of a goat. Unfortunately, Qiao Xiu had already eliminated several of these high-level succubi.

Your Highness

Qiao Xiu has lost count of how many times he has uttered the same lines

I am a male

Your Highness, the one you just reviewed is the last one

The figure followed Zenath to stand before Joshu, and Joshu was finally able to see the other person's appearance

A boy? So the pronoun "she" was incorrect just now; it should be "he" instead

For some unknown reason, when she heard the term "Miss," her frail body trembled slightly once again, and in the end, she slowly raised her head

The succubus could not endure the immense sense of oppression, gritting her teeth as she issued a command to the figure behind her

Qiao Xiu wishes to understand this issue; this succubus is undoubtedly the most satisfactory one since Qiao Xiu's review.

Succubi are not considered a particularly powerful race among the demon kind. If we say that the lowly demons occupy the very bottom tier, then the status of succubi is barely three levels higher than that of the lowly demons, still far from the noble class of the demon race. After all, this race consists entirely of females, and aside from their ability to wield mind-controlling magic, their physical capabilities are not much stronger than those of humans.

It is ... ... indeed, Your Highness

Inno

Qiao Xiu glanced at the register in his hand, having reviewed a total of thirty-two succubi one after another. Many of the succubi left directly after Qiao Xiu gently informed them that "there was no hope." However, a few of the last reviewed remained in the hall, seemingly having come together.

Your Highness, are you not angry?

How can you know without trying? But first, you should change out of these clothes that are slightly better than rags.
