Chapter 379: Disguise and Pinch

Rod put all his effort into pretending to be asleep.

He even considered using 【Camouflage Domain】 to assist, but remembering that Lady Kali had the ability to see through domains, he gave up on it.

This time, Lady Kali was extremely cautious.

Rod could sense that, after entering the room and finding the two of them sleeping separately, she visibly froze for a moment, then let out a delighted little hum.

Two more surges of spell energy flared.

She cast 【Greater Sleep】 and a 【Stupefy】 on Tally.

Reassured, she tiptoed to the bedside and cast the same two spells on Rod.

Thinking it still wasn't safe enough, she added another 【Greater Paralysis】.

But unfortunately, the 【Dragon Strength】 granted by his Bronze Dragon war-soul made Rod immune to paralysis.

Of course, this time was different from the last.

Lady Kali was fully prepared this time.

One: setting up a ritual — another 【Sleep Sigil】 that forcibly amplified its effect.

This came with the mandatory double effect she gained from 【Dual Casting】 after advancing to seventh tier — brutally overpowered.

Two: props.

Moonsleep Stone — when pressed against the skin, it has an intense hypnotic effect.

Dreamdust Incense — plunges one into deep sleep within seconds, lasting a full twelve hours.

Flute of the Hidden — a flute made of unknown wood, carved with intricate dream totems, capable of even controlling sleep depth and duration.

Leaf of Slumber

Shadow Sleep Talisman

Dream Hourglass

The props were arranged all around Rod's body, filling the space.

Rod:

A full hour of preparation?

Coming in with such high spirits — don't you know the more you prepare, the less the mood?

Though there were sounds mixed in throughout, one after another.

"Hey."

Lady Kali suddenly spoke up to call out.

She lowered her voice, adding a touch of coquettishness to her previously cold, detached tone.

"Human, I know you're awake."

Rod nearly laughed out loud — what a clumsy attempt at probing.

If I react, I lose.

The elven young lady seemed to relax as well, plopping down on the edge of the bed with a little squeak.

Cool fingers slid gently across Rod's chest.

Well, it seemed her mood hadn't dropped in the slightest.

"Hmph, you shameless human — even if you're not rolling around with a succubus, do you sleep without clothes? And what kind of pants are these?"

It's all to save you the trouble.

Then.

Rod could clearly feel the rapid rise in temperature and stiffness of her palm.

The elf then took several deep breaths in succession, trying hard to steady her trembling hand.

But instead of steadying, her hand only grew more unsteady, and her breathing grew rougher and rougher.

She also muttered:

"It's all your fault, all your fault, all your fault"

Her fragrant breath washed over Rod's face, terrifyingly scalding.

All my fault for what?

Rod didn't care — just enjoy it and be done with it.

To be fair, Lady Kali really had no experience.

It was a good thing his body was sturdy.

Rod wanted even more intimate contact.

So he chose

"Ah—"

Lady Kali let out a startled cry.

Then came another long stretch of heavy panting, as if she had hesitated for a moment.

"It's all your fault, you perverted dog, small fry, maggot."

"You've got some nerve — smuggling contraband into the spiritual essence you transmitted to me and turning me into this, it's all your fault"

Transmitted spiritual essence?

Does she mean the spiritual essence I transferred to her when I was acting as her power bank during the forest advancement ritual?

Heaven and earth can bear witness! My spiritual essence has no charm effect whatsoever!

Whose spiritual essence could do this?! Even a succubus's couldn't!

"It's all your fault"

After ingesting 【Charm Fluid】, Lady Kali was clearly even more worked up.

She buried her face against Rod's and kissed him.

"'No one is going to steal her away from me.' Heh, you really know how to talk big."

"You lecherous human dog. Do you think boring sweet talk works on me? You think I'd fall for you like that foolish, wanton succubus did?"

"Impossible, impossible. This time, and the last time too — it's all because of your damned 【Charm Fluid】. It's your fault, understand? Small fry!"

Easier said than done.

Could you let go with your hands?

What's the meaning of getting more and more outrageous?

Kali broke out in sweat, sticking to Rod's skin.

Then the elven Young Lady painfully pulled herself away, rummaging through her spell pouch and pulling out something.

With a wet slap, she pressed it right onto the center of Rod's chest.

Rod felt the fluctuation of magical power and hurriedly lowered his body's resistance and counters to the minimum.

Immediately he felt the thing on his chest extend its magic, traveling through his limbs and torso, then taking over the movement of his body.

Oh?

【Behavior Domination】?

Xin Wan Fa, Miss Kali.

This dominating magic was actually still passable — if Rod fought it head-on for control of his body, it would still take some effort.

He obediently sat up from the bed under the magic's guidance, then obediently pulled the elf in front of him into his arms.

Soft.

Neither overly slender nor as full as Tally, but a natural, effortless kind of presence.

The elf's body in his embrace looked petite and well-proportioned, every inch radiating heat and fragrance.

The two embraced, merging together with almost no gap between them.

"Hold me tighter."

Okay.

"Kiss my ears — that one, be gentler."

"Pat my head, the way you pat the other girls. Rod, Rod, Rod, Rod, Rod."

"Say I'm pretty. Call me a good girl. Say you love me."

Rod's mouth parted slightly, and immediately went to her ear.

That was close! He almost said it!

This spell can't control what someone says!

The force around her bear-hug waist tightened considerably, then suddenly loosened.

Then she grabbed Rod's hand, pulled it up in front of her, and kissed it.

Placed it on her own—

What the—?!

You're playing this game now???

Tally and I have never even done that!!!

Although I did secretly play it with the ghoul Pan Ni — she seemed to quite like it.

After all, Pan Ni is a race transformed from corpses.

Rod still did as she asked.

Her excitement grew higher; it was time to get to the main act.

This part of the scene was too stimulating to broadcast normally.

In any case, the elven Young Lady controlled him into a few relatively aggressive acts, giving Rod a fright — fortunately the degree was mild, and rather pure-love.

The process was also quite nice, and actually gave him a bit more of a sense of novelty.

Originally, though.

Rod pretended not to know.

This would be another very pleasant night-raid enjoyment.

But after the two of them fooled around the entire night.

When the sky was just beginning to lighten, a little accident still occurred.

At this moment Kali had just—, and was holding Rod while—while kissing him.

She hadn't even had time to fully pull away.

Suddenly, the faint sound of footsteps crushing fallen leaves came from outside the house.

The sound had already come very close, even reaching the door — also because she had been too focused on this dog of a man, causing her to neglect her awareness of the outside.

Without a doubt, she was startled, her body instinctively contracting.

She wanted to flee, but by now it was already too late.

Creak—

The mottled wooden door was gently pushed open.

A moment before this, the deep-blue blanket pushed to the foot of the bed suddenly rose up, covering her and the man beneath her completely.

"Honestly, how do you not know to shut the door properly."

The figure of the half-deer Miss Xiao Ke appeared outside the door.

When she saw the blanket on the bed bulging high, her face flushed red.

With a spit of embarrassment, she hurriedly shut the door properly and turned to leave quickly.

And at this moment, on the bed.

Lady Kali's body went rigid; trembling, she raised her head to look at Rod's sleeping face.

"…Rod?"
