Chapter 631: Group Hunting

【Green Vine Mutual Healing】, an extension skill of the Grass Domain, is a primordial-level healing ability.

It can treat any form of negative status, injury, or energy depletion.

More importantly, the closer the healed is to Luo De, the more extraordinary the healing effect.

If combined with Luo De's 【World Genesis Dew】—a high-tier energy replenishment—during intimate moments, the results become even more absurd.

For instance, during the battle at Coral Bay, the elf Kalist's left ear had been sliced off a small portion.

Although it was later reattached with Sharon's plague magic, the scar inevitably remained.

Yet during that time, Luo De visited Kalist every other night to "catch frogs."

After a bout of rough play, he applied 【World Genesis Dew】 directly onto her wounded ear.

Within two months, not only was the scar gone—her skin was as pink and tender as a newborn's.

Sharon had wondered why her recovery was so perfect, but out of pride as a mage, she never asked outright.

"I've got room here—want to join in?"

Luo De gestured to his broad chest, glancing at the dog-people girl sweating nervously.

"No need! First heal Dimea, then hold her tight! Wrap your arms around her waist and press in!"

"Hey hey, don't push around like that—you're rubbing against me!"

"What are you pretending for in front of me? Hold me the same way you do in bed! Fine, I'll help."

Saying this,

Sharon, seeing Dimea was too dazed to move, reached through her to wrap her arms around Luo De's neck, pressing the witch's entire body firmly against him.

"."

Luo De understood her deep concern for her best friend, so he said nothing more.

Don't you dare.

The witch's body felt surprisingly soft.

Softer than most humans—perhaps due to Dimea's personal traits?

Luo De didn't dwell on the sensation.

He patted the shadow along his collar: "How about you? Are you alright?"

Tally leapt out from the shadow, her waist arched like a fish—though overly shy and flat-chested, her slender waist and graceful posture remained.

Her handsome face was equally pale: "My domain can hold out for a while, Master—please treat the two or three ladies in your arms first."

"You have a domain? How did I not know?"

"Yes, I've grasped a portion of the Shadow Domain—though only a small part."

"Shadow? That makes sense. Your shadow spells have helped me countless times… but why hide this from me?"

Before her abstinence, Tally was a chatterbox.

She couldn't wait to talk to Luo De every moment, rushing to boast whenever her spiritual arts or spells improved.

A domain—such a powerful ability—would never go unmentioned.

Tally's ears flushed red as she lowered her head.

The current succubus seemed to prefer transforming into a pure, reserved girl—and she rarely changed form.

This cute neighbor-girl appearance had been maintained for a full month.

"I-I-I… must I say it, Master? That was something the old Tally did…"

"Old Tally and current Tally are the same to me. Tell me."

"Actually… this Shadow Domain's authority… was… the old Tally… gained during the 【Ecstasy Party】, while you were happily with another girl—she stole your essence secretly through shadow."

"."

So that's why sometimes I felt fully satisfied… yet never spilled over…

You've been hoarding it all along.

Tally's face burned crimson as large tears streamed down: "And… the other 【Stasis Domain】… was gained for the same reason… Waaah—I'm sorry, Master! I'll never do it again!"

"Two domains?"

Sharon, listening beside them, was speechless—until she heard there was another domain, and her eyes widened in surprise.

She scrutinized the succubus she'd always looked down upon.

Damn.

A succubus this young… and she controls two domains?

Luo De smiled, unconcerned.

The 【Stasis Domain】? Not hard to imagine—it's probably something Tally figured out to preserve the essence's flavor.

"Of course, look who's the succubus—come to me more often. Not two, even four or five won't be a problem."

"Pfft!"

Sharon scoffed, "I can manage just fine—I don't need your stinking man."

Though Dimea lay unconscious between them, their bodies were close enough that their breaths brushed each other's faces.

Their gazes locked—his amusement against her defiance.

Luo De found her pouting expression adorable and couldn't resist kissing her.

Sharon's expression softened; she kissed back boldly, even feeling one kiss wasn't enough.

She pulled his hair down, dominating his mouth with fierce possession.

After a long while,

she reluctantly broke away.

Then, softly and sadly, she said: "I didn't protect them well…"

"It's fine."

"This should've been the mage's duty… I'm sorry."

"We don't need to say that between us."

"But… what if one day I can't protect you like today?"

She gripped his collar, her tail drooping limply over her thigh, expression pained.

The dog-people's protective instinct flared again.

Clearly, Sharon desperately wanted to protect Luo De—and saw it as her sacred duty.

Luo De smiled, patting her head.

"It's fine if you fail once or twice—life has high tolerance for error. At least I've survived several near-deaths; you'll get plenty of chances to save me."

"What nonsense!"

Sharon didn't hesitate—she punched him hard.

Then she stared straight into his eyes, smiling faintly: "You said it—give me several chances to save you."

"Of course. Absolutely."

【Sharon's obedience toward you +10, current obedience: 78】

【Unlock shared skill with Sharon】

【Beginning random draw…】

【Draw successful】

【Shared Skill: Group Hunting】

【Details: As a 'tribal leader,' after gaining target's consent, you may claim them as a 'liege.'】

【Lieges, under the effect of 'Group Hunting,' gain 'Keen Scent,' 'Wild Synergy,' and 'Moonlit Intimidation.'】

Luo De looked further down.

Seeing the next two effects, his eyes lit up.

【Wild Synergy: When lieges and/or the leader cast spells from the same school simultaneously, spell range/damage increases by (35 × number of casters)%.】

【Moonlit Intimidation: At night under the moon, if two or more leaders/lieges are present, enemy spiritual/magical accumulation, physical strength/agility, and casting speed are suppressed by 10%. Each additional liege increases suppression by 10%.】

"A teamfight god-skill!"

Though this skill seemed more like a werewolf's ability.

But dog-people—similar bloodline, it's normal.

Sharon, relaxed in his arms, smirked up at him.

"So? Isn't Dimea's body soft and nice? Comfortable?"

"…I'd say she's not as good as you—I prefer holding you."

Is this a death question?

"Liar."

Sharon snorted, grabbed his hand, and shoved it into Dimea's chest: "How's this? Even more comfortable!"

Luo De raised an eyebrow, about to speak—

when he felt Dimea's body tremble slightly.

Dimea was pinned between him and Sharon.

Both froze, smiles locked.

The witch shifted slightly; the heat against her chest made her throat emit a soft, involuntary moan.

She turned her face slowly from Luo De's shoulder, gazing at the two frozen figures.

"You two!"
