Chapter 432: The Female General

"Otherwise, what? This is our arrangement—you make me stronger, and I give you that— isn't that a win-win?"

Make me stronger, and I win once.

During that, you give, I enjoy—I win again.

Win-win.

Naga always meets everything with the heart of a victor.

Eve pressed down on Luo De, lifting her gaze upward, her pale face flushed crimson.

Luo De leaned down, kissing her while stopping her from unfastening the skirt armor tied around her waist.

"?"

"No need to undo it. Just like this."

"The armor is in the way."

"It's fine. This way, you look even better—like a female general."

"Sleaze."

Eve pressed her full lips together.

She stopped trying to undo it—accepting his request.

But then, she's a Naga.

Bargaining and pushing boundaries is instinctive.

She pointed at Tally, who stood with arms crossed nearby, and said coldly:

"Make her leave. I don't like being watched."

"What!"

Tally stomped the ground in fury.

"If not for me, you'd already have your skull crushed by that demon's fist!"

"Hmph."

Eve glanced dismissively at the disgraced succubus—too bad, the one held in his arms now is me.

She slapped the man's chest and ordered: "Hey, make her go, or I won't—"

But halfway through, she couldn't finish.

She saw the cold smile on his face—and felt a flicker of fear.

"Eve, it's been too long. You've forgotten who holds the upper hand."

"Wh-what? I didn't—"

"Tally, bind her."

Tally blinked, then broke into a triumphant grin: "Got it!"

Black shadows writhed like snakes, shooting from the ground and rock walls, twisting into dark ribbons that bound Eve's four arms.

"Hey! I didn't—"

The Naga girl panicked, denying frantically—but it was too late.

The shadow ribbons tightened, pulling her entire body upward, suspending her in midair.

Luo De patted Eve's cheek and smiled: "Still looks like a female general. Just a defeated, captured one."

Eve gritted her teeth, glaring defiantly: "This is how you treat me? I gave you my most precious thing!"

This situation reminded her of when she'd been tormented by him in the open labyrinth.

The intense humiliation even overcame the effect of 【Enchanting Fluid】.

Her eyes grew slightly red.

"You said it yourself—we're just a physical transaction. No need to overanalyze emotions. You do what you enjoy, I take what I want."

Saying this,

Luo De had Tally lay Eve flat on the ground and place a pillow under her neck.

Don't ask where the pillow came from.

Our forest warden's spell satchel always carries one.

Some girls—like Xiao Ke—can't make eye contact during it. They shut their eyes or turn away. A pillow to shield their face eases their psychological pressure.

Luo De stepped over Eve.

He didn't even unfasten the sheer black undergarment—just settled lightly above her navel.

"What are you doing!"

"Heh."

"Tally, since her mouth won't say anything nice, teach her the other way."

Tally grinned, half-opening her mouth, extending her tongue in the Naga's signature shape:

"Master, rest assured! Tally will teach her well!"

Her mother taught Luo De; Luo De now teaches her. It's only logical.

The land Naga girl began cursing, but after absorbing large amounts of 【Enchanting Fluid】, she lost all control.

But Luo De didn't go too far.

After a while,

After two or three times, he gave her a clarity potion.

His goal was to apply pressure—not crush her. If she lost her essence, it wouldn't be worth it.

After all, even a proud, arrogant, greedy land Naga has her own charm.

Luo De simply likes all kinds of girls.

The clarity potion took effect quickly.

Eve shoved Luo De away, glaring angrily—even as tears slid unbidden down her exquisite, beautiful face, she stubbornly refused to wipe them.

"If I'd known you'd treat me like this, I'd have died rather than let you enslave me!"

Luo De stepped closer.

Since he'd already been dominant, now it was time for tenderness.

He reached to wipe the tears from her face—only to have his hand slapped away.

"Get lost!"

"Does your wrist still hurt?"

Luo De reached again, taking her reddened arm.

Firm. Tight.

But not bulky—no visible muscle definition. Her skin was snow-white, smooth, with not a single hair.

He squeezed her palm. Seeing no resistance, he said:

"You didn't resist. Seems you enjoyed it."

"Who likes being bound and pinned down? With that whip? It's not comfortable at all!"

Tally raised her hand: "I like it."

"Get out! You made me ache!"

"Oh?"

Eve lunged to slash at her—Luo De pulled her back.

Just as she struggled, her attention snapped to what he held.

A seed radiating astonishing spiritual energy.

She gasped: "Spirit Seed?"

Luo De finally wiped the tears from her face, speaking gently:

"You don't live in the forest like the other girls, never under my constant care. Your talent isn't great, so I spent three months searching specifically for this Spirit Seed for you."

Tally rolled her eyes at "three months."

Every girl who'd ever been with Luo De in the forest got one of these. She and Weiwei had each taken two.

Her master lied to girls without a single truthful word.

Eve stared at the Spirit Seed, her eyes shimmering.

Spirit Seeds are extremely rare—only a tiny number of Tree Spirits can produce them, and only one per lifetime, with no discernible pattern.

Their ability to enhance a race's physical potential and innate talent is nearly unique across the entire continent.

Eve isn't like the other girls.

She didn't care about the truth behind "three months spent searching." She only wanted Luo De to hand the Spirit Seed to her now.

Naga—utterly pragmatic.

Seeing her unresponsive, Luo De tucked the Spirit Seed away and smiled:

"I did all this for you. Don't you have any thanks to offer?"

Faced with the prize, Eve hardened her heart—no more shyness.

"Master…"

"What? Speak up."

"I say… Master, please… give the Spirit Seed to Eve~~"
