You and my teacher are the only two people who don’t mind it—everyone else avoids me. My teacher has always hoped I could accept it calmly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a sensitive teenage girl endure stinking of sulfur all over her body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a trait of the tiefling race—it’s something she was born with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo De very much wanted to say: just because something is innate doesn’t mean it’s inherently good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intelligent races are intelligent precisely because they possess the right to think independently and to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently brushed a strand of her youthful hair behind her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though her skin was pale red, she was clearly blushing now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard even high-ranking tieflings dislike their sulfur smell—some of them are mages. Perhaps they’ve already found ways to deal with it. I might have some connections in the Magic Control League; I could ask around for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saixier exclaimed in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Mr. Luo De. But didn’t you just say you like special scents on girls?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compared to my preferences, I believe a girl’s mental well-being matters far more. I’m merely your teacher’s friend—you don’t need to please me. More importantly, the decision must be yours alone, Saixier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De smiled: “Alright, today’s training ends here. I’m going to start my physical conditioning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll join too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, but keep up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll definitely keep up! By the way… Mr. Luo De, can I ask you for help again later?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, anytime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But try not to ask at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De added silently in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next two weeks passed in perfect calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Repeating endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only regret was with the firing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally’s group of four had never successfully activated the [Euphoric Party].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were girls in the forest who had slept with Luo De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the result: the orc Amy remained unconscious to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elf Kalist was skilled in night raids, but only struck when everyone present was unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The half-deer Xiao Ke was shy—he only wanted one-on-one time with Luo De; add one more person and he’d flee in embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d tried everywhere—outdoors, on trees, by streams—but refused absolutely to have a third person present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the ghoul Pan Ni, for reasons unknown, insisted on pretending in front of Tally that she had no relation to her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she’d been thoroughly filled to bursting—how could a succubus who understood the Dao of essence and qi not know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo De had always disliked forcing anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only two who had no such issues were the tree spirit Wei An and Tally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them didn’t care whether others were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the bone dragon Mei Gan’s bone chain suppressing her, the tree spirit Wei An’s [Mark of Lust] had not been fully neutralized—she had to remove the chain weekly for lust treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such times, Wei An transformed into a lust demon, frantically demanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only mid-sixth-rank Tally couldn’t match her, forced to grumble and settle for scraps, doing cleanup afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poor thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the surrounding environment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New developments had emerged this week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Coral Bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For reasons unknown, all members of the Ruins Brotherhood had been driven out by the dark elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They now wandered the Twilight Hills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Shi Ying Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the arrival of early winter, all things began to wither.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The season’s negative energy stirred, reviving undead creatures once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reports of undead and wendigos in the mining zone came nearly daily, forcing the witch Dimia to personally guard the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasional encounters still happened in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these wandering nuisances didn’t frighten even Xiao Ke—she could kill one with a single spiritual spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the weather grew colder,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De took advantage of the first early-winter market in Shi Ying Town to buy the girls a full set of clothes and supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying bags upon bags, he returned to the forest by nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls—except Bang De and Tally—were not fond of leaving the forest or crowds, so they waited expectantly before Bai Yu District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo De return, they rushed over to pick out their favorite winter clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalist disliked human designs; she took some fabric, planning to make clothes by hand with Xiao Ke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei An had no interest—she said she could just wear Luo De’s clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombie Selina specifically chose a pair of long gloves to cover her two alchemical prosthetics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mare Bang De had come along and already picked out her favorite; she chatted with the shy tiefling Saixier, who hesitated to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the pitiful ghoul Pan Ni stood beside Henry’s Farm, watching enviously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew her place—her master’s gifts had never been meant for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be favored by her master was already fortune enough; she dared not hope for more… of course she did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waaah, I’m so jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when Luo De placed a wool coat into her hands, she burst into tears of ghoul fluid, swearing eternal loyalty to her master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, none of them were low-ranked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could all use spiritual or magical energy to resist the cold—but no one liked the constant, heavy drain on their inner energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all girls, and all had some sense of vanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De watched them, and despite the night’s chill, he couldn’t help smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why have you been clinging to me since earlier, Tally?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want clothes~ I want to be your clothes, so you wear me all the time~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got quite the imagination.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t it allowed? My aunt once shrank herself and hid inside a man’s body, pretending to be his belly. She walked down the street, moving inside, hidden under his winter coat—no one noticed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to retort,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the banshee Krist flew swiftly over from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face lit up: “Found it! I found the ratmen’s nest!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De laughed bitterly: “Took you long enough? You’ve been searching for half a month.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time she swore she’d find it soon—now, finally, good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not my fault! The wendigos have been too active lately—they kept blocking me! And you know how good ratmen are at burrowing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had she finished speaking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from the Bai Yu District in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kalist quickly activated the [Arcane Vision] placed there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then her expression turned strange: “It’s the hospital—the orc has awakened, and she’s ascended to seventh rank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1137,"2026-06-20T19:55:31.704Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1922558b93570dbf43bfe3228a81600e9ee75cf9db9d5097e8afe98d217233ae","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-227","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-225",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
