Chapter 203: Ambush and Materials

Has the magic potion to dispel 【Charming Fluid】 stopped working?

Luo De recalled the scene at that time.

The elf Kalist was clearly under the influence of charm, but after drinking the potion, the effect vanished quickly, and she even fought afterward.

【Charming Fluid】 isn't something that lasts long.

If the potion had truly been ineffective, the elf wouldn't have been able to fight at all—she'd have been crawling into Luo De's arms the whole time.

Could it be some kind of dependency, like with the land naga Eve?

Unlikely. The blood Luo De gave her was less than fifty milliliters—how could that amount cause dependency?

Could it be…

Is this your own spontaneous behavior, Miss Kalist?

Little Ko, the half-deer, mentioned just before dinner that you were too restrained. Did your magic depletion cause your restraint to collapse, or was it because you ingested 【Charming Fluid】?

Whichever the cause, direct observation might reveal clues in her behavior.

But now Luo De dared not open his eyes.

He could feel Kalist staring intently, utterly alert that he might wake up.

Worse still, she was biting down on him.

Her lips and tongue fumbled clumsily, wreaking havoc across his face.

Hmm, an extremely crude technique—far weaker than Vivian's, let alone the innate awkwardness expert Tally.

But the object was the usually stern, cold, and aloof elf—this contrast stirred an inexplicable excitement in him.

It's not his fault, truly instinctive—Tally can testify!

"Hnnn~~~"

Kalist let out a startled cry.

Then her entire body froze, every motion halting.

"Y-you're awake…?"

Her voice trembled, filled with panic and shame—nothing like her usual cold, sarcastic tone.

Luo De, afraid of being discovered, forced himself to stay motionless.

He couldn't possibly wake up—what if she flew into a rage out of humiliation?

Kalist was carefully observing whether Luo De was still asleep.

She could have used magic to check if the 【Sleep Mark】 was active, but her current state was too poor, and her mind was still reeling from the cannon blasts—she simply didn't think of it.

In the end, she concluded: "He hasn't woken up."

"Even asleep, you're this lewd—no wonder you're human."

Amid pain, her movements grew even more frantic.

Uh…

Luo De was stunned.

I knew you always had this habit, but experiencing it firsthand is entirely different.

Pure, overwhelming impact.

He didn't know what to say.

In short, go ahead, Miss Kalist.

Dawn broke; the horizon slowly turned pale.

She looked at the mess beneath her, then at the forest ranger, still in "sleep."

Her perfect, beautiful face flushed crimson.

Creak—

She hastily pulled away.

". Why so much? Damn it!"

Kalist was so ashamed and furious she wanted to kill.

But to leave quickly, she had to deal with it later—so she channeled magic to seal it temporarily, preventing leakage.

After redressing, she moved Tally, who had slept on the sofa all night, back to the bed.

She'd originally planned to place her on the human's chest, but an inexplicable reluctance and pang of jealousy made her put her at the foot of the bed instead.

Having finished, she hurried to leave.

Before departing, Kalist glanced once more at Luo De—still in combat-ready state, utterly tense.

She blushed again.

"Pfft! Disgusting human."

Then she left without looking back, eager to return to the magic treehouse and deal with what was inside her.

Forest Ranger's Cabin

Luo De opened his eyes, speechless.

". Couldn't even clean me up."

Kalist moved Tally over—clearly trying to confuse things.

But I'm covered in marks, while Tally is spotless—anyone would notice something's off, right?

Who'd have thought? You're so meticulous in daily tasks, yet here you're being sloppy.

Luo De shook his head.

"To prevent Tally from noticing, I might as well finish helping."

He picked up Tally.

He performed the first act of the day.

While Luo De still wondered how Kalist would react when she next saw him, two days passed swiftly.

The elf was clearly avoiding him—they hadn't met once since.

He didn't mind much; a proud elf's lust-driven night raid was something that needed time to process.

The moon shone bright, stars sparse; the night lay like a gauzy veil.

That night, Luo De went to the Willow Sand District.

The Dragon Soul girl Naulin sent a 【Far-Speech Chain】—she had found a suitable material to rebuild her dragon body, and requested her master's help.

Luo De was deeply interested in the cursed dragon's power and had full confidence—he naturally gave his full support.

He arrived at the small cutting maze on the edge of the Willow Sand District.

The Dragon Soul Naulin appeared gracefully, still in her girl form.

White dress, black dragon tail.

Seeing Luo De, her timid face instantly lit up with joy.

"M-Master!"

Luo De sat casually on a rock and smiled: "See, I came the moment you called—even though Tally's butt was already sticking up."

"Ah! S-sorry, Master."

Then Naulin realized what she'd said, her sweet joy returning, she timidly asked: "In your heart, is Naulin… more important than the succubus?"

"Of course. I love Naulin the most."

"Hehehe." The Dragon Soul shyly swayed her body.

The tip of her tail curled upward, swinging lazily in the air: "If Master likes Naulin so much, then don't waste your essence on the succubus! When Naulin rebuilds her dragon body, I'll give you enough—enough to satisfy you!"

Luo De laughed heartily: "It's a deal!"

They chatted for a while, sharing quiet words, before finally turning to the material for rebuilding the dragon body.

Naulin: "These past days, I communicated with other maze consciousnesses and finally found a suitable material—it's located in a wild maze east of the Heavenly Flower Kingdom."

"East of the Heavenly Flower Kingdom"
