Give her back to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief rest, Pudding and the group of cat spirits finally regained their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Part of the reason is that the witch cat’s spell caused little direct harm—it mainly drained physical stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch cat had now been reversed by Tally, revealing her true form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a cat spirit with pure white fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While covered in the same fur as other cat spirits, her facial contours leaned slightly toward human features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She resembled some of the furries Luo De had seen on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she’d be beloved by those with particular tastes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to Pudding’s accusation, the witch cat sneered dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! Do you have any idea who I am? Even if you put a sword to my head, I won’t submit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pudding flew into a rage and drew his sword, advancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his seriousness, the witch cat flinched and slid to her knees with a thud: “I’ll lead the way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De: (。_。)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect. Exactly as I expected of students from Bahadur Magic Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was that time in the Jade City’s open-air maze or the plague mage Amel we encountered—none of them had even a shred of boss potential!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They talk so noble and powerful, but in reality, their behavior is like flies circling rotting meat, never leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thanks to their weakness and willingness to compromise, they rarely need much interrogation—they spill everything themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch cat named a location: a hidden cave on Witch Peak used to imprison prisoners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eager to save his beloved, Pudding forced himself to summon one last breath and set out again with the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing he didn’t even ask where the dragon body materials were, Luo De wanted to kick this love-struck fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice but to ask himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dragon body materials? What dragon body materials?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch cat looked puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had she not slid to her knees so quickly, Luo De might have thought she was lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her expression didn’t seem fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, your subordinate, the headless knight Mimi, clearly said earlier last night that the dragon body materials are with you, Tally. Bring out Mimi’s head.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The succubus obeyed, reaching for Mimi’s head, yet her expression remained confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Master, what are dragon body materials?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to serious matters, Tally never lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you don’t know either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held up the headless knight Mimi’s head and asked the same question—received the same answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De asked Pudding and the other cat spirits again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them knew what dragon body materials were, nor did they remember any treasure had been stolen from the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh. A mental spell? Interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, mental spells inflict near-zero damage on me, but I always notice them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of spell—subtle, silent, invisible—altering everyone’s thoughts without a trace—I’ve never encountered anything like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More interesting still: the witch cat’s own memories had been altered by the same mental spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo De had no intention of intervening further in this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to let things unfold naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he reminded Tally—and she, of course, unhesitatingly trusted her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of cats marched forward and soon reached the secret cave the witch cat had indicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a massive cavern directly inside the mountain, where two peaks met above the entrance; up close, the sky showed only a thin line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, it was pitch black—no sight at all. After walking a hundred meters over moss-covered, slippery rocks, faint light seeped from the ceiling, allowing them to see vaguely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cat spirits naturally have night vision; Luo De’s [Guardian Veil] had this ability too; Tally, of course, possessed it by virtue of her demonic bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the group pressed deeper into the cave without needing torches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After advancing several dozen steps, they finally saw a natural cavern chamber ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, firelight flickered, and a cat spirit clad in fine robes was curled up, her back turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soft, muffled sobs echoed from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pudding cried out joyfully: “It’s Princess Mei Mei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dashed ahead, and the other soldiers exchanged glances before following.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch cat and Duke Andy were left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke Andy had fallen into a puddle of sewage, and his overly long fur immediately made him look disheveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted: “Witch Cat! You betrayed us! You failed to protect my love for Princess Mei Mei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your love? Hahaha! Compared to the future of all cat spirits, what is your love worth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching all the cat spirits enter the cavern chamber, the witch cat burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she cast [Release the Bonds], and the shadow ribbons binding her instantly loosened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leapt free and swept a wide-area [Ink Cloud Technique] toward Luo De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally instantly appeared beside her master and pulled him into the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they reappeared, she saw magical energy lines forming a ritual pattern on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a massive explosion erupted from the cavern chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the cat spirits screamed in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cavern walls shattered, and cat spirits were blasted outward by the shockwave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The violent explosion shook the cavern, making the unstable stalactites above crack and fall with sharp snaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch cat laughed wildly, using [Levitation] to rise to the cavern ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Foolish Royal Knights, and you, foolish Dragon Emissary—did you really think I’d be captured so easily?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De smiled silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke Andy cheered from the ground:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Witch Cat! I knew I could count on you! Free me, let’s fight together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up! Stupid, lust-crazed Duke Andy—do you really think Princess Mei Mei, a noble soul, would elope with a filthy, shedding, urine-spraying creature like you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wh-what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch cat sneered, spreading her arms toward the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come forth! Princess Mei Mei! Our glorious divine ascension plan, sisters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She channeled her magic, and the ritual lines on the ground blazed with intense light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De silently shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ascension to godhood? By a sixth-rank beginner mage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch cat saw his expression and laughed: “The defeated eat dust, Dragon Emissary—prepare to become our nourishment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, [Spatial Teleportation] rippled beneath her feet—she intended to escape the ritual’s range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of fire erupted from her chest with a bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful explosion blasted her backward, slamming her into the cavern wall, then rolling her helplessly onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch cat struggled to rise, her face filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trembling, she pulled from her chest a half-destroyed crystal box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared, utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“H-how? Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De strode forward and snatched the crystal box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately saw the inscription: “To My Best Sister, Witch Cat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1117,"2026-06-20T19:55:31.704Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","34192e60ff118b6dc0442c0367a58e133781bf6ad6c6799dfd99fc8ee599313d","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-213","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-211",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
