Lord Of Succubi:Transmigrated As A Dual Cultivator In Isekai Of Magic

Chapter 535 Chapter 535

In the aftermath of parting ways with Tiffany, Nexus, the shape-shifter with a talent for intrigue, seamlessly assumed the guise of Ni Yang in a discreet corner. With his gaze locked on the bustling crowd, Nexus remained vigilant, ensuring that no prying eyes witnessed the subtle transformation unfolding within him.

With the exchange complete, Nexus, now masquerading as Ni Yang, set his sights on Mary, the elusive and cunning fox in this intricate game. Mary had been the charming woman of this town, aware of her abilities to turn ash into gold. She wasn't playing to fool. All she meant was business. By hook or by crook, she finds her way to everything she desires, even her action causing havoc in the town or hurting the sentiments of her acquaintances.

Now, with the identity of Ni yang, He crossed the street with his strategic mind, finely tuned to the dynamics of this alternate universe, set a course towards Mary. The well-known figure of this place, famous for her cunning and wily nature. The authority she held in the game, no wonder each pawns afraid of her.

"I can't let her succeed in her cunning strategy. Wondering how long she had been working on her cunning plan to execute. Each day, a new story about her games. Enough is enough! I have handled her worst behavior so far. A woman like her needs to be stopped, but at what cost?" Nexus had his thoughts run wild in his mind. He constructed a report about Mary's hideous agenda. Aware that Mary wouldn't yield easily without facing a substantial threat, Nexus prepared to navigate the labyrinth of her cunning mind.

"There's only one way to find out. I have to meet her, face her personally, and interrogate her. Hopefully, she won't try to be over-smart." Nexus clamped walking down the streets, following the path of Mary's mansion in the town. Not a single positive thought came to his mind as the distance between them got close.

Nexus thought deeply as his mind read the previous encounters with Mary. 'Mary, the strategist. She won't yield easily.'

"How can I help you, sir?" A guard approached him, enquiring about Nexus's presence on the property.

Nexus smirked and lowered his voice. Not to sound rude since he was the one to cry out for a secret mission. Leaning forward to the guard, glanced in his eyes and spoke.

"I came here to see Mary."

The guard surveyed Nexus, in the appearance of Ni yang, from head to toe, and narrowed his gaze on him. Perplexed by his approach, he investigated the Nexus's arrival.

"Lady Mary had no visitors to meet." The guard responded. "Are you an outsider?" he enquired further.

Nexus took a deep breath and smiled crookedly. "I appreciate your observation skills, young guardian. Indeed, I am an outsider from a faraway place, but my reason to visit Lady Mary is obvious. As you can see, I sell valuable herbs and potions." He pointed a finger towards its bundle.

The guard snatched the bundle from Nexus hands and examined it. There wasn't anything of his suspicions. Being satisfied with his investigation, he let him go inside the mansion. Nexus smirked as he passed through the metallic gates. One check point was cleared.

As Nexus strode purposefully towards the looming virtual building where Mary awaited, the hum of the digital world enveloping him, a familiar voice cut through the ambient noise, halting him in his tracks.

"Hey, Ni yang! Wait up!" The familiar voice took on a tangible form, sounding immensely close. Startled, Nexus turned his head, only to spot Selina emerging from nowhere, walking purposefully towards him.

In a sudden burst of energy, Selina, with a hint of mischief in her eyes, broke into a sprint, catching Nexus off guard. He turned just in time as Selina leaped into his arms with the enthusiasm of a cute little pet.

"Selina? What are you doing here?" Nexus, shocked by the sudden arrival of Selina at Mary's mansion. The affection she threw at him dawned with the realization on Nexus, as he was Ni Yang at the moment. He shook his head and smiled at Selina.

"That isn't a question you are asking from me. Where have you been? Do you know how lonely I have been without you since you left? Do you remember when we met last time?" she bombarded Nexus with her complaints. It made him giggle as he patted her head.

"I feel extremely awful for leaving you alone, my dear. Living the life I have isn't easy. There were several tasks and missions I had to follow up. I sincerely apologise for my negligence towards you. Let me know how I can compensate you?" Nexus, danced with his coated words at Selina, calmed her down.

The deep frown was replaced by a cheerful laughter. Selina's heartfelt laughter subsided. She glared at Ni Yang, still upset with his ignorance. "I have plenty of ways to make you compensate for the loss I had bare alone. Tell me which one you want? The easy way or the hard way?" She stood so close to him, an inch away from face to face.

"Anyway, you want, baby-girl." Nexus stated.

Nexus caressed her rosy cheeks with bare hands. Shivers jolted down to his skin. He longed for her, too. It has been a while since he visited her in the town. His missions on other several tasks got him occupied with focusing on further important things happening around him and this town. A moment of realization dawned upon him like a digital revelation. Selina has already forged an official partnership with Mary.

It was the sole reason she was present. Earlier, they had a nasty rivalry. They couldn't bear the sight of each other. Now, they appeared as partners. What was cooking in their heads? Without a solid reason, Selina would never bind Mary with her business. These ladies had a history of hatred and mental battle with each other. Something brought them together. How powerful those things could be? Nexus wondered in his deep thoughts when suddenly, Mary emerged from the building.

Nexus forgot about his encounter with Selina, or she was standing with him, face to face, almost kissing his lips for his attention. He got his eyes set on Mary to execute his plan, the mission he came for her mansion. Mary descended the staircase at the exit of the building. Nexus pushed Selina a little to head towards Mary. However, Selina clenched on Nexus's arm and pulled him into the darkest corner of the building.

"Selina? What are you doing?" Nexus frowned at her shenanigans.

Selina frowned deeper and turned her head toward Ni Yang's gaze. "You are not going to meet her." Ni Yang, recognizing Mary's presence, maintained a composed facade, veiling the complexities of the situation from her watchful gaze. Selina, still immersed in the playful banter, remained unaware of the strategic dynamics at play.

"Why so?" Nexus, perplexed by Selina's sudden change of behavior. He could feel the jealousy rising inside her body. The potent emotion could be dangerous at the moment. Sensing the change in Selina's behavior, Nexus remained calm.
