Chapter 491: Yulia

The misunderstanding did not continue.

As a rabbit-folk mage of the Chastity Faction, Oona quickly explained the circumstances and their causes.

"You mean you had Luo De sleep with Scarlett just to make her understand the difference between 【Alluring Fluid】 and hallucinogenic spores?"

Yulia's voice from the magic stone was hesitant, "Couldn't you just demonstrate side by side in front of Scarlett? Why did you have to subject that little girl to that?"

"Huh?"

Oona blinked, letting out an adorable sound of surprise.

Her sluggish mind finally caught up.

She stared blankly at the scene on the bed.

I've betrayed the trust of my late friend.

That was the only thought in Oona's mind now.

Luo De nodded: "I thought the same."

"Then why didn't you warn me, Luo De!"

"I thought you were going to cast some amazing, unconventional spell that would instantly clear up Scarlett's misunderstanding."

"There's no such spell! Oh stop moving already!"

"The arrow's already on the string, Oona. You don't want Scarlett to find out her elder sister messed up because she couldn't think straight and let a human man take advantage of her, do you?"

Yulia's voice in the magic stone burst into unrestrained laughter.

It sounded like she was gasping for breath—she might actually pass out from laughing so hard.

"I see! Hahaha! It's because Oona here is too obsessed with chastity—she's peeked at too many things she shouldn't have, and now her mind's full of it!"

"Lady Yulia!!!"

Oona's face turned bright red as she cried out in distress.

She tugged at Luo De's arms with both tiny hands, trying to pull him away from Scarlett's body.

Laughable.

Impossible to move him.

Instead, she was jolted back and forth by his motion, slamming straight into his back.

"Stop it right now!"

Oona tried to influence Luo De with a mental spell—but failed again.

She forgot this man had absurdly high mental resistance.

Seeing her voice trembling with tears, Luo De felt too guilty to continue.

"Alright, alright, I've stopped."

He turned his head.

The short rabbit-folk mage had actually cried her face smudged.

He wiped her tears, helpless and amused.

"Why are you crying? Didn't you tell me Xunren don't care about this kind of thing?"

Wiping a girl's tears was somewhat intimate, but he'd grown used to it in the forest where girls were plentiful, so he did it naturally.

Oona sniffled, her tiny nose twitching with each sob.

Because she was rabbit-folk, her face was small—Luo De's palm could cover it entirely.

"Even if they don't care, we shouldn't do this. Oh my god… I've let my friend's daughter be taken by a heartless playboy."

"…You're not talking about me, are you?"

The little rabbit girl, overcome with emotion, no longer cared about manners.

"Who else? You sleep with girls every single night! And your detection spell always activates right when you're having the most fun—I have to listen to you and the girls every night while I'm trying to sleep!"

"…"

Previously, Oona had placed a mental detection spell on Luo De due to the Mind Flayer Hart.

He had agreed to it and retained full control over when to activate it.

Oona had suggested activating it for at least two hours daily.

Luo De?

He always activated it at the peak of his nightly fun with the girls.

Now that Oona said it, Luo De admitted he'd been a bit excessive.

In the background, Yulia's exaggerated laughter continued without pause.

Creak—

The familiar sound came again.

Oona snapped: "Luo De! You started again!"

"It's not me," Luo De said, spreading his hands and pointing downward.

Scarlett had locked her arms around his waist, dazed, as if half-asleep.

"Scarlett!"

After pulling them apart, noon arrived precisely—McRea activated.

Due to his 【Second Heart】, Luo De had always been exceptionally intense.

Scarlett was affected the most.

"…"

"…"

Both froze.

Only Scarlett's heavy breathing on the bed and Yulia's laughter from the magic stone remained.

Moments later.

Luo De couldn't bear the awkward silence, pulled up his pants.

"I'm going outside for some air."

Oona didn't look at him; she was wiping her face, nodding stiffly from behind.

Leaving the magic wooden hut.

Luo De stared at the silent cavern.

For some reason, he wanted a cigarette.

"Hey! Why are you going out? What happened? Record Oona crying—hahaha—"

Yulia's voice in the magic stone kept mocking him.

Luo De simply skipped the topic:

"Lady Yulia, back to the point—why did you call me?"

Yulia had heard their conversation and knew Luo De had stepped out; since Oona wasn't there, she stopped teasing.

She laughed for a long while before finally stopping.

"Nothing much—just two things. Didn't you recently learn a special blood-explosion spiritual technique?"

【Yulia's Blood Explosion】.

A shared skill Luo De obtained from Tally.

At the time, a note had warned this skill would draw Yulia's attention.

"Yes."

"Was a succubus teaching you? Where is that succubus?"

The succubus she meant.

Clearly, it referred to the succubus ancestor, Lilith.

Luo De had studied the details of 【Yulia's Blood Explosion】.

"No one taught me."

"Oh?"

Yulia's voice grew intrigued, "You mean you learned it yourself?"

"You could say that."

Though sharing skills wasn't rare on this continent, Luo De had no intention of revealing the effect of the Domination Spell.

"Alright, alright, you're impressive."

Good.

She didn't press further.

The magic stone continued: "Now the second thing—I heard you're on good terms with Hera. You lecherous human, you didn't try anything on her, did you?!"

"No. Lady Hera is also a senior I deeply respect."

"Hmph! I know you've always been giving Hera items that boost fire and poison resistance. Either way, stop it—immediately, from today!"

"I don't understand."

"Hera is ascending to the ninth tier! She must stop—absolutely must not ascend to the ninth tier!"

Luo De glanced at the 【 Wanxiangronglu 】 on his panel, marked "Smelting in Progress," and fell silent.
