It was almost entirely Professor Vanessa’s work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celine said so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze toward Vanessa carried a hint of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was once a student at Bahadur Magic Academy. Is it strange that I know Professor Vanessa? You haven’t forgotten my background, have you, my Master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could I?” Luo De lied without a flicker of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celine’s eyes grew distant: “Studies show that frequent reproductive behavior may cause memory decline, my Master. Don’t lose your brain too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You piece of work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand left Hart’s chest and moved to Celine’s head, rubbing it roughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mind flayer’s skin had a thin layer of slime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stuck to his palm and immediately messed up her hair into a bird’s nest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can make you several more of these magic devices.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Vanessa pulled off her headscarf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long, blood-red mane spilled down, her sultry face naturally pale and sickly, yet carrying a scholarly, refined air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exuded an inhuman elegance and beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression remained calm, as if she had already accepted her enslavement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can be enslaved by you too—twenty years, fifty years, it doesn’t matter. I’ll devote myself entirely to whatever you want. After all, humans don’t live long. But as a trade, I hope you’ll return the [Memory Wish Stone] to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This half-vampire suffered terribly from memory confusion and was deeply obsessed with the [Memory Wish Stone].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Luo De.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally couldn’t help correcting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rosa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Luo De.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Luo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally looked at her master: “She’s doing it on purpose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enslavement spell’s command power was hard to make fully effective, but a professor’s voluntary, wholehearted cooperation was far better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then it’s settled. When I die, I’ll free you—and all of you others too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hart trembled slightly, excited and eager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celine’s expression remained unchanged, showing little reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps for this zombie girl, being enslaved made no difference from before—she’d always just buried herself in magical research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally knew her master was unlikely to die by human lifespan standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately declared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If my Master dies, I’ll die with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa glanced at her: “Your succubus is lying, Luo En.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally froze, guiltily glanced at Luo De, then retorted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How dare you question my love for my Master?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De didn’t care: “That’s one of the things I find adorable about Tally.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words instantly settled the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally shrank her neck, pretending to be clueless and giggling foolishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa remained noncommittal: “Succubi betray almost 100 percent of the time. Their race is born this way. As a long-term partner, I advise you to discard her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, embarrassed: “If my Master dies, I’ll cut off his thing and hold it every night, imagining his face, until I starve to death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she exclaimed in shock: “That’s actually true… Strange. Luo Mei, is your succubus not pure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De gave Tally a strange look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the difference between suicide and your method of death? Maybe succubi have different notions of shame than ordinary girls?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally sensed his gaze and blushed, lowering her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In succubi’s eyes, dying for one man is the stupidest way to die—like humans dying for a steak. I—I was just joking~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Steak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female beastman Amy’s voice suddenly appeared at the cave entrance, her head upside-down, sticking in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s the steak?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This old street rat had gotten even worse since being let loose—she spent every day at Dusk Hill looking for fights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De flicked her a Jin Along: “Go eat at Xin Lank Street.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yay! Master is awesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She arrived fast and left faster, happily snatching up the Jin Along and running off with her crystal greatsword toward Shi Ying Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brief interruption didn’t affect the negotiations in the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa straightened her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unlike your succubus and the beastwoman just now, I don’t trade my body. This is a trade of knowledge and power. I hope you understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then your food is blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s none of your concern. I’ll get it from other girls in the forest—safe, clean. I’m a fasting sect; I let it sit for one or two days before consuming. I never take blood myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do as you please.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De didn’t care, but as a reward, he planned to occasionally gift this academy professor some of his own blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she’d said his blood was delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the machine making magic ring blanks: “What’s wrong with it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa pointed her chin at the fallen sphere: “The output frequency is unstable, so the ring blanks’ quality is inconsistent. It’s a hassle—might need to dismantle the whole machine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s a hassle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De summoned a gravitational wave, pulling the purple glass sphere into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the effect of the [Maintain Domain], the magic power stone’s already faint fluctuations stabilized into a single frequency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa’s blood-red pupils widened in shock:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Domain? What kind of domain is this? I’ve never seen anything like it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombie Celine took the power stone, studying the domain’s power; beneath her messy hair, her eyes showed a hint of envy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now the machine can run properly—producing at least five hundred ring blanks a day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Vanessa’s expression darkened: “Difficulties must be overcome, not bypassed with external power. I refuse to use Luo Xia’s domain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Luo De.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally corrected her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De laughed: “Refusal is invalid. I understand your obsession with magic, but I’m short on money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked Tally for a spare, preserved air tube—slightly sticky with residue, but it didn’t matter; Vanessa had strong charm resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cut his wrist, letting blood drip steadily into the tube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your reward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa stared at the crimson blood, her small pale nose twitching slightly as she swallowed a large gulp of saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her wide eyes glowed red with longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she forced herself to look away, clasping her hands behind her back: “I don’t need it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be polite. Just let it sit for a day or two.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she still wouldn’t reach out, so he simply held the test tube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa’s waist was slender; her whole body trembled, shaking violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thin thread holding the already overburdened button snapped and shot straight onto Luo De’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large patches of pale skin were exposed, sagging slightly under gravity’s pull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snapped button made the small vest loose, unable to hold the vial of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa hurriedly caught the vial of blood, ignoring her largely exposed chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze for a moment, then clenched her teeth in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re sexually harassing me! Roosevelt! This isn’t part of our deal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before you say that, I hope you’d at least cover your clothes instead of rushing to stash the blood in your magical satchel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1269,"2026-06-20T19:55:32.419Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a9e171b758455b88f2667ea5d7f2e852cc7627ab5004dd02d3e982ad69f659cc","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-621","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-619",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
