Glancing at the job advancement options, Bai Yue Ling instinctively complained:
“What are these even supposed to be? Just looking at the names, they’re so vague! ‘Fallen Angel Herald,’ ‘Nether Priestess,’ ‘Vengeance Sacrificer’—who knows what these do? And especially the last one… ‘Dark Fall Succubus’?!?”
Bai Yue Ling’s adorable big eyes were instantly drawn to this profession, as if it held an irresistible charm, making it impossible for her to look away.
“T-T-This… Isn’t this just a succubus? Can a succubus even count as a Fallen Angel profession?”
“It has nothing to do with the succubus race. The key is the ‘Dark Fall’ part,” Dark Lisa explained. “Considering you’ve been using your charm to taint big sisters with Dark Fall all along, your actions are practically indistinguishable from a succubus, so it’s named this way.”
“I feel like you’re just making this up,” Bai Yue Ling said, narrowing her eyes. “So, what’s special about this profession?”
“It can greatly enhance your ability to… ahem, live off others—no, I mean, your Dark Fall abilities. It makes tainting faster, stronger, and significantly boosts the combat power of those you’ve tainted.”
“And what’s the job advancement task? What materials do I need to collect?”
“The task is simple: taint 10 people with Dark Fall.”
“Ten people? You call that simple?!”
“As for materials, let me see… There are 10 materials in total, starting with the ‘Charm Gem’—”
“Charm Gem? Isn’t that a succubus-exclusive material?! And you said this has nothing to do with succubi?”
Bai Yue Ling increasingly felt this profession was pure nonsense, probably designed just to make the other three options seem normal by comparison.
“Besides the ‘Charm Gem,’ there’s also…” Dark Lisa paused. “Let’s talk later—someone’s coming.”
With that, Dark Lisa transformed into a wisp of black mist and vanished into the mark on Bai Yue Ling’s abdomen.
Not long after, footsteps echoed behind Bai Yue Ling. It was Shi Qianla and Sistana approaching, with Jelly perched on their shoulders.
Due to the recent impact of Dark Fall power, their bodies were covered with deep crimson liquid exuding a Dark Fall aura. Even Jelly, originally pale blue, had turned a faint red.
According to the Souls, this liquid was highly concentrated Dark Fall power.
“Little White!”
Shi Qianla dashed to Bai Yue Ling’s side, grabbed her under the armpits, and lifted her up, inspecting her carefully before sighing in relief. “You’re okay. I was so worried.”
“Why do I feel like a kitten being picked up by its owner…” Bai Yue Ling muttered under her breath.
Sistana approached with her slightly voluptuous long legs, asking, “Is Trineph okay?”
Bai Yue Ling replied, “She’s fine. She just needs to rest for a bit.”
“Good.”
Sistana leaned forward slightly, her two massive, soft assets swaying above Bai Yue Ling’s head like overflowing water bags, exuding an oppressive presence as she asked, “So, my dear Little White, could you explain what exactly happened here just now?”
[You have been affected by the Intimidation effect from NPC “Sistana.”]
Bai Yue Ling swallowed hard, instinctively growing nervous. “W-What happened?”
“You know, that pollution that shot out like a laser—swoosh—and hit us right in the face,” Sistana said with a gentle smile.
“Since you were here the whole time, you must know where that pollution came from, right?”
“Uh… well…”
“Why did it gather into a mass, and why did it suddenly shoot out?”
“T-That’s…”
Bai Yue Ling, too nervous to meet Sistana’s gaze, knew that Sistana was a Great Archbishop of the Light Faction.
If she found out about the Fallen Angel business, wouldn’t she strike her down on the spot?
Then, Bai Yue Ling noticed that Sistana’s entire body was covered in thick, viscous Dark Fall power.
Droplets clung to her face, chest, and thighs, like water dripping from stalactites, slowly trickling down her voluptuous curves.
Bai Yue Ling was momentarily entranced.
Sure, Sistana was a Great Archbishop, but her Dark Fall value was already at 50%.
She probably didn’t even realize she’d been tainted yet, but 50% Dark Fall was enough to turn even Aiya, a chosen of the Goddess, to the Dark Faction.
So, for Sistana, a Great Archbishop of Nature, it might work just as well.
Should she… give it a try?
Facing the pressure from the mature big sister, Bai Yue Ling cleared her throat and flashed a playful smile. “Ahem~ About that question, all I can say is, those who get it, get it~”
“Get it?” Sistana’s willow brows furrowed slightly. “Get what?”
Bai Yue Ling deliberately glanced at Shi Qianla beside her.
Though Shi Qianla didn’t fully understand what had happened, she played along to cover for her. “Oh~ I see. I get it.”
Sistana’s smile faded, her confusion deepening. “What exactly does that mean?”
Bai Yue Ling took Sistana’s hands, her thumbs gently rubbing the backs, blinking her adorable, captivating eyes while releasing a wisp of Dark Fall aura.
“Sistana-mama, surely you must have some guesses in your heart, right?” Bai Yue Ling purred like a little succubus, her breath soft and enticing.
“The relationship between us… it can never go back to how it was.”
Before, we were enemies, but from now on, we’re sisters of the Dark Faction!
Sistana’s brows furrowed tighter, a flicker of darkness passing through her gentle eyes as she pondered Bai Yue Ling’s words.
Seeing Sistana might press further, Bai Yue Ling quickly interjected, “You also want to know how the black-clad person and the giant python were dealt with, right?”
Sistana paused, startled. “Uh… yes.”
Bai Yue Ling spoke confidently, “Oh, that? I found an angel’s sigil in the canyon and summoned an angel to take care of it.”
“An angel?” Sistana’s pupils contracted slightly.
Could it be… the angels she saw as a child during the God War?
“Well~ I can’t reveal too much,” Bai Yue Ling said, placing a finger to her lips. “All I can say is that the pollution is related to the angels, and I have to keep their secret.”
Sistana’s gaze grew profound as she imagined a story in her mind:
During the God War, the Angel Legion discovered the pollution hidden deep in the canyon and sealed it themselves.
Over time, the seal weakened until Bai Yue Ling summoned the angel’s sigil, resealing the pollution.
This explained why the pollution suddenly gathered and then burst out—it was the angels’ method of sealing it.
So that’s how it is.
Sistana nodded slightly, her gentle smile returning. “I understand. Thank you, Little White.”
Seeing Sistana drop the matter, Bai Yue Ling let out a sigh of relief.
Phew… I managed to bluff my way through.
But she couldn’t keep bluffing forever. Sistana was still a potential risk since she hadn’t yet noticed her “Dark Fall” condition.
Normally, after successfully tainting someone, Bai Yue Ling would explain it to them.
But this time, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to—it was that she didn’t dare.
If she outright told Sistana, “You’ve been tainted by the Dark Faction,” who knew what this Level 80 Great Archbishop might do in her frenzy?
If Sistana accepted the truth, that’d be fine. But what if she didn’t?
Would she kill herself on the spot to atone to the Goddess of Nature, proving her unwavering faith?
Bai Yue Ling didn’t dare take that gamble.
For now, it was better to gradually increase Sistana’s Dark Fall value and let her slowly come to terms with it.
