Chapter 397: Special Effect Potion

Fine.

It's better than treating her by getting straight to the point; the aftermath would be hard to handle anyway.

Just say these are some potent healing potions here.

Rod popped the cork and poured the 'Special Effect Potion' into Rosalia's mouth.

"Ah! It's spilling out!"

Tally looked heartbroken.

She hurried over, helping to pinch open Rosalia's mature, gorgeous face so the Special Effect Potion could slide down her throat.

During this, she stared tightly at the other's pink throat, reluctant and sad.

Don't say.

Normally, the Tooth Fairy always has a gentle and proper look; seeing her like this lying in my arms while I'm feeding her this stuff, and it's even spilling from the corner of her mouth... well, it's quite exciting.

"Another bottle."

"One bottle is enough! It can cure her!"

"Hmm?" Rod gave a cold look.

"Wuwuwu..."

While sobbing loudly, Tally pulled another Essence Bottle out from the gap in her chest.

I'm crying.

Faking it, hehehe~~

If I have a chance to make up for my mistakes, what does losing a few Essence Bottles matter?

The consequences of my Master getting angry are severe; for several days in a row, he'll treat me perfunctorily like it's routine business, with not a shred of affection.

Since the 【Succubus Mark】 incident, my feeding frequency has been strictly limited until now; I don't want things to get worse.

"Why does it seem a bit diluted?"

Rod looked at this bottle in confusion.

"Th-this one was taken from Vivian; it tastes sweet and has a rich texture. It's the snack I've liked most lately, wuwuwu~~"

"..."

Another bottle was poured down.

It's still far from enough.

"Don't hide it; bring out everything you have."

Rod held out his palm toward her.

Immediately followed was an absurd magic trick of concealment.

Without using a magic satchel, Tally produced five Essence Bottles from various parts of her body, two of which were pulled out from between her legs as if by magic.

"Your little shorts clearly don't even have pockets; how can you possibly—oh—"

Rod suddenly realized, then his expression turned strange.

Tally's small face turned red:

"Putting it in here makes it feel like Master is here too, hot and gentle... Master—I've brought out everything I had hidden at the bottom of the box; please, please don't be angry, okay~~"

Rod ignored her.

He poured all the Essence into Rosalia; only after a while, seeing her condition gradually improve, did he finally relax.

Only then did he look quietly at Tally.

The merit outweighs the fault, I suppose.

After all, she was the one who discovered Rosalia's location and dealt with the assassin...

Tally dared not meet his gaze; she knelt obediently, shuffling her knees closer, her soft chest flesh trembling with the movement.

She had even deliberately made her cheeks look fleshy; even with her head bowed, her delicate, flushed nose and cute, puffy bun-like face were visible, truly pitiable.

Rod had already roughly figured out the Succubus's method for increasing obedience.

Actually, it's very simple; just say some sweet nothings.

Before this, several major increases in obedience happened because Rod said some affectionate words in bed.

Surprisingly, as a Succubus, Tally is very innocent and lacks love.

She desperately craves Rod's attention to be on her, eagerly wanting to find proof of his love for her in his emotions.

So, it is also very difficult.

Tally possesses demonic bloodline after all and can detect his true feelings.

Fake sweet nothings have no effect; even if not faking, when Rod uses 【True Deception】 from the 【Love-Struck Domain】, in the mundane daily life, love expressed without waves is easily missed by her carefree nature.

At this time, a special scene and stage become very important.

Now is that moment.

Because of the incident where he stole the 【Succubus Mark】, Rod has neglected her until now; having made another mistake, she must be even more panicked in her heart than before.

If Rod shows her affection and leniency...

This love-starved Succubus should be deeply moved...

Hard to say; let's take a gamble.

Rod reached out and placed his hand on the back of Tally's neck, gently stroking the hair roots by her ear.

Then he pretended to sigh.

"You..."

Tally buried her head even deeper.

"Turn back into your true form; I want to see your real appearance."

"Oh."

She began undoing her transformation.

Skin that was still a delicate purple, with two faintly pinkish demon horns growing from either side of her forehead, rising high toward the sky.

Her actual build was a little smaller than the suit she now wore; once it hung loose, a black tail with a heart-shaped tip emerged from her tailbone, drooping listlessly.

Her pupils and irises were composed of black and deep pink, with strange black stripes on either side of her cheeks.

It looked eerie, but before her extraordinarily alluring face and explosive figure, everything came across as naturally bewitching.

"Tell me, what have you been thinking about lately?"

Rod still put on a solemn look.

"I haven't been thinking about anything! Staying by Master's side makes me really happy!"

"Then take a look."

He lifted Rosalia in his arms. "Because of you, she almost died, Tally. I'm not saying you can't play pranks, but you have to read the situation."

"I'm sorry, Master. Tally knows she was wrong."

"If you get tired of staying by my side, that's fine too. I can't undo the Nu Yi Zhou, but I can let you move out on your own. I'll squeeze out your three meals a day in advance and have Watching Yuna deliver them to you. Fight when you need to fight, guard when you need to guard — you and I will be purely master and servant. If you don't like my essence either, no problem — submit a request, I'll look into the cost, and if there's no issue, I'll have someone deliver some other man's essence to you every day."

As Rod spoke, he employed the domain power of 【Ke Yin】.

Tally's expression changed.

Her little face was already tinged with panic.

"No! Tally doesn't want another man! Tally only wants Master!"

"What are you yelling about!"

The succubus's face crumpled, and she immediately tucked her head down again, her eyes already faintly brimming with tears.

She panicked.

The disappointment and finality in her master's tone made her heart plummet.

She immediately took the initiative to explain:

"I-I turned into a sleazy big guy to scare the Tooth Fairy because I wanted to set off how majestic Master is! I was originally planning to scare her, then deliberately let her go, and then transform into Master's appearance to save her!"

Hearing this.

Rod didn't show much expression; he simply gazed quietly into Tally's eyes.

Only after seeing how earnest and flustered her gaze was did he press firmly on the back of her neck, drawing her close, and kiss her on the cheek.

No tongue, just a kiss.

What stood out was deep affection, not lust.

Tally felt the love in it and immediately leaned in, wrapping both arms tightly around his neck and shoulders, as if afraid he would run away.

"Don't send me away, don't send me away, don't send me away, please Master, don't send Tally away."

Rod pulled away from her cheek with a soft pop.

Continuing to run 【Ke Yin】:

"I do like you, Tally. Not because of master and servant, not because your face is cute, and not because of simple lust — I like you as a person, I like you as an individual with your own consciousness, I like your mischievous little personality. Believe me, Tally, unlike the inborn wantonness of your succubus kind. Letting you leave would break my heart far more than yours."

Tally shook her head, shook it hard.

Her pink pupils glowed, and the pink on the two horns on her forehead deepened — a sign that a succubus was moved by emotion.

She voluntarily buried her face against Rod's collarbone, making not the slightest excessive move, simply inhaling Rod's scent.

The brief experience of losing and regaining love, the great ups and downs between them, had left her so panicked that she lost her succubus instincts, and she simply, as if reborn from disaster, etched every bit of her master deeply into her mind.

【Tally's obedience toward you +7, current obedience: 93】

Rod's eyes lit up.

It worked!

Though the process was a bit like gaslighting, to be honest.
