Chapter 290: Spider-Mutated Elf Enslavement

Luo De pushed open the wooden door of the hospital treehouse.

Inside, the spider-mutated elf Yuna stared blankly out the window.

Beside her, the elf Kalistre was examining something, while the half-deer Xiao Ke manipulated a light spirit to heal her.

Tally leapt out from the shadows.

She cast a transformation spell and became a pale, cute doctor girl, her messy hair pinned at the back, wearing a short bustier and hot pants beneath her white coat.

The outfit was strange, yet it subtly revealed large stretches of smooth skin and deep, endless crevices.

"So this is the new sister from the forest? Cute enough, but lifeless."

Luo De pushed her aside.

He walked over and offered a gentle smile: "Yuna, good morning."

The girl reacted to his voice, trembling slightly; when she saw it was Luo De, tears immediately spilled down her cheeks.

"Mr. Luo De, my sister… my sister…"

She didn't know the elf or the half-deer beside her; upon waking, her heart was filled with sorrow and fear.

Now, seeing Luo De—the man who had saved her twice in the Fear Field—she finally found someone to lean on and couldn't hold back her sobs.

Luo De pulled her into his arms, gently patting her thin back.

As if comforted, she instinctively gripped his clothes and buried her face deep against his chest.

Her crying grew fiercer, soon turning into loud wailing.

The half-deer Xiao Ke was also an emotional creature.

She was infected by the sorrow, her round, adorable eyes reddening, tears swirling—she looked like a fawn, heartbreakingly pitiful.

The elf Kalistre showed no change, her expression still sour.

Tally, seeing someone hugging her master, refused to be left out and tried to join in, but the elf yanked her away.

"Seventh stage?"

Kalistre stared at her in shock.

Tally lifted her chin: "Of course. Under my master's nonstop affection, not only is my belly full, but my spiritual accumulation has also… you just stay where you are—after all, elves live forever."

"Your seventh-stage advancement is terrible—no traits at all, just spiritual accumulation. If I had to advance like you, I'd rather stay at sixth stage for another thousand years, heh."

Facing her sneer.

"You!" Tally instantly grew furious, stomping her foot cutely and glaring fiercely at the elf, "I absolutely forbid you from attending the party!"

"What?"

The elf didn't understand, but she was too lazy to explain.

She decided to find an opportunity to speak with the Forest Warden—advancing to seventh stage must be done with caution; such reckless advancement harms both self and others.

She also resolved that, from now on, she would personally supervise any other girl's advancement in the forest.

After a long while.

Yuna finally calmed down after releasing her emotions.

Seeing Luo De's chest soaked through with tears and snot, she felt embarrassed.

"Sorry, Mr. Luo De…"

Her skin was jet black, slightly lighter than a normal dark elf's, but it was impossible to tell if she was blushing.

"It's fine, it's nothing. What are your plans now?"

"I—I want to stay by your side as your servant. But if someone like me is unwelcome, it's fine—I'll leave right away."

As she spoke, she lowered her head timidly, tears falling again, plop plop.

Luo De wiped away her tears.

"It's fine. Stay. The forest can accommodate many."

"Thank you… thank you, Master Luo."

Saying this, Yuna bowed deeply, and in the slightly loose collar, a swaying glimpse of her figure emerged under gravity.

Wait.

Her body seemed more mature than three days ago.

"Enslave me, Master."

The girl's sudden awareness saved Luo De considerable effort.

He didn't pretend further; under the cold stares of Xiao Ke and Kalistre, he directly cast the enslavement spell.

【Enslavement Spell cast successfully】

【Enslaved Subject 13: Yuna Graham Hopkins】

【Race: Dark Elf (Spider-Mutated)】

【Age: 48】

【Obedience: 71】

【Details: A dark elf who failed the "Luo Si Trial." Her lower body has transformed into a giant spider. As a newly created being born of transformation rather than natural reproduction, spider-mutated elves lack reproductive systems. Note: Dark elves reach adulthood at 110. This is still a child.】

【Also, friend, I have no idea why you enslaved her. Mouth? Breasts? But what's the difference between this and boring human girls!?】

Luo De ignored the details' commentary as usual.

He continued reading the shared skills below.

Starting at 71 obedience—second only to the tree spirit Weiwei'an's initial obedience.

【Shared Skill: Spider Perception】

【Details: Dark elves are naturally skilled in perception. After spider mutation, this ability advances further—perception increases dramatically (to the current rank's maximum, and rises with rank).】

The first skill thrilled Luo De!

He'd been wondering how to improve his perception—now fate handed him a pillow right when he was sleepy.

【Shared Skill: Spider Movement】

【Details: Spider-mutated elves can climb difficult terrain. Note: This skill may evolve into "Temporal-Spatial Spider Movement." Legend says the Clock Spider can manipulate time and space.】

This skill was somewhat useless to Luo De.

Still, it had an evolution path worth watching.

【Shared Skill: Heightened Focus】

【Details: Dark elves are naturally gifted spellcasters. "Heightened Focus" allows them to cast spells despite silence, confusion, or other negative states, and increases casting speed by 20%.】

Luo De had read about this skill in books—it was one of the few innate spiritual arts dark elves could obtain.

Kalistre possessed this skill, which was why she never used a staff.

"This one's decent, but I rarely cast spells."

He helped the bowing Yuna stand.

Then he introduced her to everyone in the hospital treehouse.

This spider-mutated elf was surprisingly polite, properly greeting the other three with repeated "sisters."

She quickly won over the simple-minded half-deer Xiao Ke, who beamed with delight.

The elf Kalistre gave her no warm look.

She had always been hostile toward dark elves; she'd saved Yuna only out of respect for Luo De.

As for Tally—

She rarely cared about anything outside her master, especially after learning Yuna had no reproductive system.

"This is a little gift for joining the forest."

Luo De noticed Yuna's white hair was messy and overgrown.

He pulled from his spell satchel a black hair tie glowing with magical energy.

A minor magical accessory, enchanted with underwater breathing.

Yuna's eyes widened in surprise; seeing the magical energy within, she was overwhelmed.

"Master… I can't…"

"Don't fuss. It's not worth anything."

He forced the accessory into her hands before she could refuse.

Yuna froze for a moment.

Then, with solemn reverence, she clasped it tightly in both hands and pressed it to her chest.

"Yuna… vows to follow you unto death."
