The Incubus System Chapter 634. Heh, Incubus

"Brother?" Celia's voice and a gentle tap on my shoulder caused me to swivel my head in her direction. My eyes fell upon her worried countenance as if she could sense the turmoil brewing within me. "Is there something wrong?" she asked tentatively, her words tinged with concern.

I forced a reassuring smile to my lips, attempting to quell her worries. "Nothing. I just telepathed Emma," I replied, my tone light and nonchalant. The truth was, I wasn't quite sure how to process the jumbled emotions that were swirling within me. It was as if a storm was brewing within my heart, and I couldn't quite put my finger on the source of my agitation.

It was something that bothered me ever since Emma had discovered my true identity for the first time. A fear that she would be afraid of me, that she would reject me. Now… I felt it again. And it wasn't just Emma that I was worried about, it was all of my partners, including Celia. I knew that they would find out my demon lord form sooner or later. The human world would eventually discover that the prince of darkness lived among them, and I couldn't help but wonder how they would react.

"Then why do you look sad?" she asked, her voice filled with concern as she withdrew her hand and took a seat beside me on the sofa. Her hands hugged the cushion tightly, her gaze still fixed intently upon me. "Did she say something related to the demon hunter association?" she guessed again; her words tinged with a hint of apprehension.

I hesitated for a moment before admitting, "Not exactly. But I suspect the association is plotting something against me." I turned to face her, my gaze growing serious as I continued. "That's why, wherever you go, you have to be careful. Especially if you go out with Jenny," I added, considering the fact that Celia and Jenny had recently made up.

She looked at me with a hint of confusion in her eyes. "Is it because of her brother?" she guessed; her words spoken with a sense of uncertainty.

I nodded, my expression grave. "Nathan is the most dangerous one at the moment." 'Especially since he had three high skills and one epic skill now.' I wanted to say that, but I didn't want to add to her worries. "So please, be careful. He might follow you or take the opportunity when you are out with Jenny. Also, don't give too much information or tell him about me or our family. Even if you ask Jenny to keep quiet, she is his sister and she might tell him," I warned her, my tone serious and my facial expression portraying the gravity of the situation.

A long exhale left her mouth as she processed my words. "I understand," she said, her tone tinged with a trace of disappointment.

"Right," I said, standing up from my seat. "I have to go now."

"Are you going to go hunting?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity. Her gaze followed my movement.

I shook my head from side to side and glanced over at my pets who were still lounging on the living room's carpet. Their eyes were all fixed on the television screen, where a scene of a crocodile devouring a deer in the wild was playing. "I will let them do the job," I said.

Then I turned to face Celia once more. "I'm going over to Emma's place to talk things over," I said, giving her a brief explanation.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at me full of suspicion. "Only talk?" she asked, her tone laced with sarcasm.

An innocent grin appeared on my face. "Well, the main purpose is for discussion. The other one is a bonus. It depends on our mood," I said, my words dripping with a hint of playful flirtation.

Celia rolled her eyes and sneered; her tone clearly sarcastic. "Heh… Incubus," she said, glancing to the side with a clear look of disdain.

I replied to her comment with a flat, emotionless stare. "Got a problem with that?" I asked, my tone cool and unruffled.

"Nothing," she pouted, her expression was one of disappointment. "Don't come home late, okay?" she reminded me, her voice taking on a motherly tone.

"Okay," I replied, my voice soft and conciliatory. As the words left my mouth, my portal materialized behind me, the swirling vortex of energy beckoning me forward. Without hesitation, I turned around and stepped into the portal, my body enveloped by the darkness.

I stepped out of the portal and found myself standing in the middle of Emma's bedroom. The room was dimly lit, with only a small lamp providing the only source of light. The air was thick with the scent of lavender and rose, a subtle reminder of Emma's presence in the room.

Her figure silhouetted against the soft glow of the moonlight filtering through the open balcony door. She was still dressed in her demon hunter uniform, the black and blue fabric hugging her curves in all the right places. The uniform was a stark contrast to the delicate femininity of her features, but it only served to enhance her natural beauty.

As she turned to face me, I couldn't help but notice the way the moonlight played off of her silver hair. Her eyes sparkled like amethyst, reflecting the light in a way that made them seem almost otherworldly.

She greeted me with a warm smile, her voice soft and inviting. "Good evening, Ethan," she said, her words filled with a sense of happiness.

She stepped closer and I noticed her demon hunter uniform that clung to her body, accentuating her curves and the toned muscles of her legs. The open balcony door revealed the fact that she had come home secretly, sneaking in through the balcony to avoid her family's detection.

"Good evening," I replied to her with a gentle smile, my voice filled with a sense of warmth and familiarity.
