Chapter 330: Eavesdropping

【【Euphoria Party】 special effect triggered, sensual game ''Bottle'' successfully executed】

【Obtained ''Capacity Boost'' status.】

【Details: Spiritual/Magic capacity increased by 10% (Tally receives an additional 5% boost)】

【Target: All participants】

【Duration: Permanent】

Luo De showed no particular expression.

Increased spiritual capacity offered him little benefit—his ultra-high recovery rate easily compensated for the massive drain of spiritual spells or techniques.

A faint pink glow flickered across the skin of the four individuals.

Sharon felt the change in her body.

She used her Plague Domain to dispel the effect of ''Seductive Fluids,'' wiping away the filthy residue from her lips.

Her face filled with astonishment:

''Can succubi's spiritual techniques even do this?!''

According to what she knew, succubi typically advanced to seventh tier through seduction or hypnosis—she had never heard of an effect that granted buffs to everyone present.

Sharon snapped her gaze toward Luo De, eyes blazing.

''Why didn't you call me sooner if this was an option?!''

''I did call. Didn't I? Every night I've been summoning you over for foursomes.''

Luo De protested.

Since returning from the Fear Field, he had summoned the dog-girls nearly every night for group games.

But not a single night had she responded.

Sharon recalled—it did sound familiar.

Yet a strange discomfort stirred in her chest: while she lay awake thinking of him, he was in bed with other women—and not just one!

No wonder during their late-night chats via ''Far-Link Chain,'' she always sensed strange noises on his end?!

She spat at him.

''You shameless bastard!''

Luo De sighed helplessly.

How could this woman change moods so abruptly?

Tally was better—her unwavering devotion, her reverence for him, made him truly feel loved.

Saying this,

he gently stroked the succubus's small head as she continued cleaning.

''Piggy~~ so generous~~''

And lately, she'd become so easy to please.

She no longer begged, ''Love me more!'' or anything like that.

But then again.

She was a demon—when she acted this way, it meant she was probably plotting something wicked.

The group had been busy here for over two hours; further delay would make those outside anxious.

''Our primal essence is sufficient now—shouldn't we begin the crown separation?''

Luo De pushed Tally away.

He cast a Cleansing Spell on both himself and her.

''Wait, let me put my clothes on first.''

Sharon said, sliding her long legs—covered in short, golden, fine fur—into her pants.

The snug trousers rose from thigh to waist, hugging her pear-shaped hips and keeping them prominently lifted.

''We still need to clear the scent and residue. After the crown is removed, who knows what might happen—if they burst in and see this, it'll be trouble.''

As she spoke, she activated a spell she had already prepared.

Hidden within the ritual setup from the past two hours.

As if she had foreseen this exact outcome from the start.

Hmm.

Come to think of it, she'd performed three ritual ceremonies with Sharon—and each time, it ended with them completely exposed?

Though she herself seemed to enjoy it thoroughly.

''By the way, the crown emits intense mental illusions—even high-tier seventh-rank Haili couldn't resist it.''

Luo De pulled a palm-sized deep pink gem from his pocket.

''This is a magic stone crafted by Oana before you arrived—it can block the crown's effects. Just in case, she—''

Before he finished,

he noticed Sharon's lovely face had frozen.

''T-This is Deputy Director Oana's item? You put it in your spell satchel, right?''

''No, I just kept it in my shirt pocket.''

''No wonder it felt so rough when I licked you earlier. Wait—don't you know what an eighth-rank mentalist's magic stone means?!''

''No idea. It's just a gem.''

Luo De didn't care.

Oana the rabbit-woman was on his side—at least she wouldn't harm them. Beyond that, as long as it didn't violate his principles, it didn't matter.

Seeing his indifference, Sharon flew into a rage.

She snatched the gem from his hand: "Mentalist magic stones aren't like storage devices such as 'Frayed Discs'—they're forged using a illusion technique called 'Shadow Simulation'! That means she could have embedded 'Shadow Surveillance' into this stone!"

''That can't be right—Oana doesn't seem like that kind of person.''

Luo De didn't know.

During the Insertion Labyrinth ritual, Oana had surveilled and recorded every girl in the forest, then reported everything to Commissioner Yulia.

''You've been in the Magic Control League too short to know—Oana is Yulia the Vampire King's personal spellcaster, and Yulia is constantly under house arrest. That gives Oana far more free time than other commissioners' personal mages. This sweet, harmless-looking rabbit spends half her life in chastity and spell study—but when idle, her favorite pastimes are chasing trends and spying on private moments. There are plenty of rumors about her in the League.''

''.''

Luo De stared at the magic stone in Sharon's hand, hesitated a moment, then called out:

''Oana, are you listening?''

Oana immediately shut off the eavesdropping spell, glancing around nervously.

The stone door remained utterly still—as if separated by a galaxy, isolating the inside from the outside.

The star-being Haili and the witch Dimia were exchanging spell insights and noticed nothing.

Oana's cheeks flushed red, her large round eyes glistening with a thin mist of tears.

W-Was I found out?

What should I do?

Luo De was gentle and forgiving—he'd probably ignore this. Maybe I can get away with it…

But Sharon, the investigator, wouldn't.

She was completely different now—like a ferocious, unruly wild dog.

If she went mad, she might even eat a rabbit much larger than herself.

Thinking it over,

Oana canceled the eavesdropping spells on Dimia and Haili

and replaced them with a more advanced, harder-to-detect variant.

The same type she used on ninth-rank mages in the Magic Control League.

The rabbit girl inwardly groaned.

Not only Haili and Dimia—she'd have to swap out the surveillance on every girl she'd met in the forest too. This kind of eavesdropping spell consumed extremely expensive materials; she wouldn't be able to afford new trendy accessories for a long time.

As for Scarlett being flooded with primal essence…

Though she felt slightly guilty, mushroom folk had no human moral concepts or notions of copulation—saving a life justified it.

Speaking of which,

so this is what the sounds of a four-person session sound like…

Tally truly was a succubus—so bold, so seductive, even her moans were intoxicating.

Investigator Sharon usually had a sharp tongue, but right now she was utterly obedient—Luo De said something, and she did it without question.

As she thought this,

Oana took out her observation journal and opened a new page for each resident of the forest.

She scribbled and drew.

At the same time, she remained on guard for a long while.

Seeing no one emerge from the stone door to expose her, she finally exhaled in relief.
