You promised—don’t back out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the coffin’s cracks, a pair of crimson eyes glowed, fixed hungrily on Herbert, occasionally darting to his handback, as if pondering something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said nothing, glancing sideways at the vampire trapped inside the coffin, barely surviving in the gap—and unconsciously recalled what he’d seen in the treehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Elf archmage’s residence wasn’t opulent, but it was undeniably comfortable—excluding the flesh nest on the top floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now look at you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of you are survivors of the Lightless Prison—why does she live in a mansion while you’re stuck in a coffin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did you end up like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Elisa, shook his head, and sighed deeply: “Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elisa: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was baffled by his sudden reaction, unsure what he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?

Are you… going to renege?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elisa panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I already gave you everything—don’t you dare deny it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert’s brow twitched; the words he’d been about to say retracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled gently at Elisa, nodded politely, then walked away without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving behind a dashing silhouette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You! You can’t do this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poor vampire screamed after his retreating back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Paladin! Aren’t you a Paladin!!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You disgrace of the Paladin Order—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the vampire’s furious curses behind him, Herbert, now far away, took a deep breath and mused: “Her reaction is so amusing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s too easy to rile—why did she snap so quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“You’re sure you’re being sincere with them?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert smiled lightly, answering as if it were obvious: “I sincerely tease her, and she sincerely curses me—isn’t that also true hearts for true hearts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Folks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Herbert, happily teasing the fool right now, had no idea yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It won’t be long before he can’t laugh anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, Rust Nail Bishop stood before the alien prison, frowning at the sticky residue on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did that fallen one finally hide here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow’s update is scheduled for 6 PM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m pushing back the update deadline!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please follow and comment—come on, everyone, this means a lot to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there are no comments, Vatas—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1054,"2026-06-20T12:31:06.198Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9db18c6f045bb934f9ec60162cc107c790eba1d38994239b42b5db1f6ee544c1","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-56","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-54",453,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fan-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-cover.jpg"]
