Chapter 466: Farewell and Re-entry into the Cat Spirit Paradise

When the girls met, no harem showdown occurred.

Lily, after all, was a free-spirited warrior of the martial world.

She was generous and lacked the usual girl's coyness.

Moreover, her magical talent was absurdly strong—even faintly matching Luo De's god-touched abilities.

Purely a natural prodigy.

Kali Site herself was an arrogant elf, well-read and demanding of both herself and those around her.

After a brief mutual introduction and probing.

Both confirmed and were astonished by each other's genuine ability.

They quickly shed the awkwardness of first meeting and began exchanging knowledge about magic.

Luo De had no place to interject.

Though his mana had reached the sixth tier, he remained a pure novice in magic.

He could only chat and play with No. 3.

The mouse girl's soul was incomplete; she could only stare at Luo De with a dumb smile and cling to him.

It was a bit boring, but her physique was more than enough to compensate.

Never mind her legs being longer than her life, her waist was impossibly slender, her pair of well-proportioned, sizable bunnies quivered with laughter, highly captivating.

Just looking at her was enough.

Come to think of it.

Isn't this girl basically Kali Site 's personal maid?

I wonder if I'll ever get the chance.

It took about ten minutes.

The group passed through the wealthy district of Axe Beach and arrived at the partially renovated Earl's Ancient Castle to meet the newly reinstated Lady Wenna.

It was a large estate with many houses—not just the castle itself was habitable.

Perhaps because they had just endured a coup, the militia were extremely cautious.

Various magical inspections were about to begin.

Kali Site disliked being checked like this; she sneered and refused to enter.

True.

I understand, but I'm still annoyed.

Many of these inspection spells invaded privacy; Luo De wasn't fond of them either.

Reluctantly, he had to use his unfinished soul contract to "shake" Lady Wenna.

They waited a little longer.

Far off, they saw Lady Wenna Pweil rushing forward, her luxurious gown swaying, face alight with excitement, followed by a group of frantic maids and soldiers.

Then, when she noticed that beside Luo De stood three beautiful women of different races besides Tally.

Her excitement froze instantly.

But being raised in noble education, she calmed down immediately.

She no longer looked at Luo De.

She offered a cool, elegant smile.

After that, things went smoothly.

With Kali Site and Lily working together, they effortlessly extracted the Lilith bloodline from Lady Wenna Pweil.

Due to the many generations removed, the bloodline was somewhat diluted, so the extraction had little effect on Wenna.

Ten minutes after the ritual, she was already able to move normally.

Reinstated as lord, even after such brief control, she had already cultivated an air of authority.

She politely thanked Luo De and the others, paid them some compensation, had them settled, and then left.

More distant than before.

Like true strangers.

"So stuck-up."

Tally quietly expressed her displeasure.

Luo De didn't care.

They were strangers who met by chance, each getting what they needed; they'd likely never meet again, so less emotional investment was better.

Besides, Luo De had only just rejected her a few days ago.

Now that Wenna has had time to reflect, she might harbor some resentment.

They spent the night resting in the Earl's Ancient Castle guest quarters.

The group parted ways.

As for Lady Wenna, she claimed to be busy with official duties and did not appear.

But she sent many people to escort them—more than enough for visitors.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with it.

She had just taken office; being watched was normal.

Giving such high-profile escort to a group of strangers might lead people to associate them with the recent saviors of Axe Beach—the Light Knight Order.

Perhaps her earlier distance was partly due to this.

The escort party halted them at the edge of Axe Beach, on the trade highway.

But Luo De suddenly stopped too.

"Oh! I recognize you!"

He pointed at a young male militia member in the escort party.

Ignoring the boy's bewildered expression, he walked over and draped an arm around his shoulder.

Then he turned to the girls and the escort party: "Sorry, old friends—just need a quick word."

He didn't care if they objected.

Luo De dragged the militia boy aside, turning his back to everyone.

"Sir… I don't think I know you…"

"Stop pretending. I recognized you the moment I saw you." He grinned.

"."

The boy remained silent, face stubborn.

Seeing he still refused to admit it, Luo De gently reached inside the helmet and pulled out a white headscarf.

The next moment, the boy's features began to shift and fade.

Soon, the clear, delicate face of Lady Wenna Pweil emerged.

"You truly are Master Luo De—I couldn't fool you…"

Her expression was awkward, but her eyes were filled with misty, sorrowful tears:

"Please don't worry—I'm not here to trouble you. As lord, I'm bound by duty. I… just wanted to see you one last time before you left. I won't cling."

"What clinging? We're friends."

Luo De smiled and gently wiped away her tears.

At this moment of parting, he was unusually gentle toward the human girl.

Wenna cherished the warmth of his palm, wanting to lean closer—but Luo De quickly withdrew.

"To you, maybe, but to me, it's not the same."

"That's normal. Men like me? It'd be strange if girls didn't like me. You're one, but certainly not the last."

Wenna's tears turned to a smile.

She raised her tiny fist and finally gathered the courage to hit him once.

Olive Town, back mountain.

After the formal farewell.

Luo De and the others spent half a day reaching the Magic Control League's teleportation point, then successfully arrived at the remote town in Heaven's Flower Kingdom where the 【Cat Spirit Paradise】 lay.

Months had passed; the place had become even more desolate.

Even some houses in the town showed clear signs of decay.

But that was fine—the Cat Spirits were special; fewer people were better.

In the forest behind the mountain, it was even more deserted.

Luo De halted the group's advance.

"We're close. Before we enter, this concerns something vital—I must say two things."

Hearing this,

the halfling Lily grew serious, her clear, bright eyes fixed on him.

The elf Kali Site had been dismissive, but seeing his serious expression, not joking, she immediately focused.

Luo De nodded.

"Kali Site, Lily—you two are among the few I trust besides my enslaved ones. But this involves the survival of an entire race. It must not be leaked. If necessary, I may erase part of your memories afterward."

Kali Site scowled: "What is it? Let me see first."

Lily nodded: "Don't worry—I understand. The Tree Spirit Protection Association had similar experiences before."
