A gentleman like you would never lay hands on an innocent lady.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De chuckled softly, then introduced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Land Naga’s expression turned solemn, and she bowed with a distinctly tribal gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Luo De, I am Eve Skripconko Balar of the Mirror Desert, Princess of the Balar Clan. I humbly request your aid; upon success, I shall reward you with precious treasures and gold.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m afraid I can’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A princess alone in a labyrinth? The Snow Hill Evening News has too many cases of fraudsters posing as princes and princesses. I’m not a man driven by lust.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve blinked, then flushed with indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you insulting me, Mr. Luo De?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not at all—just caution when traveling alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand. Then we can sign a magical contract—payment upon completion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m afraid that won’t work either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m currently undertaking the Labyrinth Pass challenge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monsters won’t come in just one wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Labyrinth Pass marker will draw them out of their territories, one after another, toward Luo De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve’s face bore a blend of Eastern and Western features—the kind once called “Western exoticism” in his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De scanned her serpentine body back and forth, unable to find any entrance at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do Nagas reproduce asexually? That shouldn’t be right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve was startled—this was the first time she’d met a human with a Labyrinth Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t care much; she actually held multiple Labyrinth Passes herself, and the challenge wasn’t difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can assist you with obtaining the Pass. It’s not hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Naga Princess’s spiritual energy level appeared to be early sixth-rank; she wore a curved blade and a crossbow at her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bore battle scars—no mere ornament. After all, Land Nagas were a warlike, battle-hardened race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least she was better than Xia Li and Gaima.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, tell me the task and the reward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I shouldn’t reveal this to outsiders, but given the circumstances, I’ll make an exception—the Mirror Desert Clan has suffered a coup. The rebels received massive support and seized the palace. I escaped in the chaos, but a group of pursuers still trails me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… a deposed princess?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De instantly lost interest in the quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What profit could a deposed princess offer? Compensation with her body? I’m not interested. Hmm… though the taste of a Naga… well, sampling it wouldn’t hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously, Luo De had opened a collection plan in his mind for all the continent’s races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not deposed!” Eve snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My pursuers include four sixth-rank warriors, and they carry a batch of magic rings. I can’t handle them—I need your help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Magic rings? Are you saying the Heavenly Flower Kingdom is backing the rebels?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Precisely. In recent years, the Heavenly Flower Kingdom’s magic ring technology has surged forward, production has skyrocketed, and their ambitions are emerging.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De suddenly turned his head—a high-temperature worm burst from the ground, leaping high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden sword extended a beam of light, slicing it cleanly in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hot blood rained down upon the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You see, I’m no ordinary fifth-rank high-tier. These fifth-rank monsters can’t even withstand two strikes from me. If the reward’s too low, I won’t take the job.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tossed him a magical satchel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De opened it, raising an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly two thousand Jin Along, three or four pieces of metal that looked extremely rare, a series of potions radiating high-level magical energy, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the down payment. Upon completion, I’ll also give you a ninth-rank dragon scale. Mr. Luo De, dragon scales aren’t common.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve clicked her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, this man is greedier than a Naga!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I also want your body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the shadows, Tally pinched him hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Luo De curiously, then her expression turned sultry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know the Naga custom? One lifetime, one partner. That means you must become my husband.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just once. I won’t bother you afterward.” Luo De smirked—he had no objection to a fleeting affair like Xia Li’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Straightforward!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a magical contract was drawn up, and both signed their names, formalizing the agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Luo De’s wandering gaze over her body,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve silently sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greedy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could ever be greedy on a Naga!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She idly flicked her jade bracelet—no one noticed its faint pulse of spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she smiled inwardly with confidence, shaking her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foolish, shallow human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m eagerly awaiting your expression when the magical contract is broken by my treasure at the mission’s end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1171,"2026-06-20T19:55:30.170Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a4dd88f5b8536d38878acddcd5b8b0f4420f73600e3db7c3bdcd08bc73775057","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-61","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-59",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
