Reborn as a Transcendent-Chapter 695Book 3: : Mmm… Pretty Girl, Smells So Good!

“Number Three!” Vera 1 could hardly believe what she had just heard. That calm, clever Vera 3 had actually chosen to lick the enemy’s foot, for roast chicken! It was unbelievable. Shocking. Infuriating.

And especially when she saw Vera 3 crawling over like a dog, the shame and anger in Vera 1’s heart reached a boiling point. In her mind, she could already see herself crawling the same way… And licking that outrageously beautiful, jade-like foot!

By now, Vera 3 had already crawled to Yae-hime’s feet. Her whole body trembled slightly, her face filled with visible struggle. She had thought she was mentally prepared, that she could just go for it. But when the moment came, she realized how impossibly hard it was.

Overcoming that mental barrier felt like climbing to the heavens.

“Regretting it?” Yae-hime lifted her right leg and gently placed her bare foot on Vera 3’s face. “Is this all your so-called resolve amounts to?”

The touch of her smooth bare foot against Vera 3’s skin was cool, almost pleasant. It should’ve been a tolerable sensation, but inside, Vera 3 felt a wildfire of rage ready to explode.

Humiliation. Raw, blistering humiliation. Even worse than being stripped naked.

“Tch. What’s with that look in your eyes? Is your so-called loyalty fake after all?” Yae-hime pulled her foot back and gazed down at her coldly, her eyes sharp as blades. That piercing stare sliced straight through Vera 3’s heart, leaving behind a strange, stinging pain.

On the other side, Vera 1 was seething with fury. Even though she was furious at Number Three for surrendering so disgracefully, the demon’s continued humiliation was even more infuriating.

Just as she was about to erupt, she heard Vera 3’s voice.

“No—no, it’s not fake. I’ll lick… I’ll lick Master’s foot!”

That sentence struck Vera 1 like thunder on a clear day, blowing her mind into chaos. The next thing she saw was Vera 3 holding that demon’s beautiful leg as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

‘No… no! Don’t lick it!’ Vera 1 wanted to scream and stop her, but her mouth felt frozen. Somewhere deep inside, a voice resisted her.

Vera 3, her hands trembling, cupped Yae-hime’s bare foot. Her face turned pale, her eyes quivering. She knew very well: if she licked the demon’s foot in front of everyone… Some fundamental part of her humanity would vanish forever.

Behind her, Little Blue, Vera 2, 17, and 18 were all watching with eager anticipation. This was their first time seeing someone submit like this in real life, and a beautiful girl at that. They were thrilled.

Especially Vera 2, 17, and 18. As they watched Vera 3, it was like watching themselves.

‘Ah… it’s as if I were the one licking Master’s foot~’ Their affection for Yae-hime was so high that they didn’t feel even a trace of the humiliation Vera 3 did. If anything, their hearts were beating faster.

Feeling the faint coolness of the foot in her palms, Vera 3 finally made up her mind. She slowly leaned forward and stuck out her tongue. Seeing this, Vera 1’s pupils shrank to needlepoints. Her slightly open mouth tried to make a sound, but nothing came out.

Bit by bit, Vera 3’s tongue crept closer to Yae-hime’s toes… and then suddenly stopped. She still clung to the last sliver of her dignity. But the scent of roast chicken was so alluring, so soul-snatching, it tore at her pride, gnawed at her restraint… And finally, crushed it.

**Shlick!**1

She did it, Vera 3 finally licked. The room fell silent. Everyone felt a strange and indescribable thrill. Even Vera 1 was no exception. That was the exact moment a human being abandoned all dignity. And yet, it didn’t feel disturbing. That scene… was like a painting. Beautiful beyond belief.

Vera 3 lingered on the experience. The humiliation vanished completely. Because the toes she had licked were… fragrant. That scent brought a strange sense of comfort. Peace.

‘Why does this demon… smells so good?!’ As if entranced, she licked again, and found herself completely captivated. ‘I lick, I lick, I’ll lick, lick, lick!’

In that moment, she was like a girl possessed, licking Yae-hime’s foot from toe to instep, savoring the fresh scent of her skin.

Above her, Yae-hime was dumbfounded. She had told Vera 3 to do this to shame her, to break her. So why had it turned into this?

‘Where the hell did this bootlicker come from!?’

“Stop!” she quickly ordered, putting an end to the foot-licking frenzy.

“……” Vera 3 reluctantly let go, licking the corner of her mouth as she looked up at Yae-hime. Her cheeks were flushed as she softly said, “Master, Vera 3 pledges her eternal loyalty to you.”

Her voice was full of sincerity, along with a hint of longing. The kind of longing only gluttony could provoke. It was obvious now, she had completely made peace with it. There was no more burden in her heart.

Once a person discarded their dignity, many things in life lost their value. And trying to pick that dignity back up again… was nearly impossible.

Hearing Number Three’s words, Vera 1 felt overwhelmed with emotion. There was sorrow, unease, pain, and defiance. All of it tangled together and eventually melted into a blank haze.

She gazed blankly at her sisters, a heavy weariness settling deep in her bones.

“Very good, Vera 3. From now on, we’re family. As long as you never betray me, I’ll always have your back.” Yae-hime spoke with sincere gravity in her voice.

“Yes, Master. Vera 3 will never betray you!” She stared at her master intently as she said it.

Hearing that, Vera 1 stood there, stunned and speechless, unsure how to react.

“Alright, eat.” Yae-hime nodded, picked up one of the roast chickens from the plate, and bent down to hand it to Vera 3.

Vera 3 took it with trembling hands, tears streaming down her face. “Thank you, Master, for your generous gift!” Then, she tore into it with wild hunger, ignoring all decorum as she devoured the honey-roasted chicken.

The savory scent filled the air, and Vera 1 felt herself on the edge of madness.

“And you?” Yae-hime turned her gaze toward her, smiling faintly. That smile looked gentle and innocent—beautiful, even. But to Vera 1, it was nothing less than grotesque. It was the smile of a devil crawling up from the depths of hell.

“Don’t want to pledge your loyalty to me?” the demon asked softly.

Vera 1 wanted to shake her head. But deep down, her heart screamed in resistance. ‘No… I don’t want to stay hungry. I want food. I want to eat… a lot!’

“Master asked you a question,” Little Blue chimed in, floating over with arms akimbo, looming over her.

“I… I…” Vera 1 glanced at Little Blue, then at her other sisters, and finally rested her gaze on Yae-hime. “I’ll lick.” As soon as she said it, the tears burst forth, her chest filled with a sorrow too bitter to bear.

She never imagined she would fall this far, that such a pitiful day would come.

Slowly, she crawled forward and, with trembling hands, lifted Yae-hime’s other foot. That beautiful jade foot looked impossibly appetizing. She hesitated, then leaned in and lightly brushed it with the tip of her tongue.
