The Star Association’s trial has been moved up—you must help me this time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hali looked at him hopefully; even her translucent face showed anxiety and unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She extended her arms forward, slightly pressing her prominent chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her mage robe’s neckline was unusually loose—this pressure brought a tantalizing view almost against Luo De’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since her flesh was translucent deep blue and partially visible, it was hard to see clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hali the Star-Spirit had come to fight in the Coral Bay battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when facing the Infernal Duke, she stood firm with our side instead of fleeing—enough to prove the friendship between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friends, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just you help me, I help you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hali was overjoyed, eagerly grabbing his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De smiled and said, “How many people do you need? I’ll guarantee you pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Star-Spirit lady shook her head: “This Star Association trial is next week—it’s a competition format. All candidates will be placed in a trial labyrinth, each allowed only one frontline companion, with the goal of finding and claiming the labyrinth’s hidden relic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One frontline companion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De nodded. I’d better go myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hali gave me face and helped me—I must repay her fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard the top prize includes five scales from an Ancient Power Dragon.

Thoughtful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient Power Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De actually had some memory of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since learning that the [Dragon Scale Technique] could absorb dragon scales, he’d paid close attention to dragonkind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to common true dragons like the Five-Colored and Metallic Dragons,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rainbow dragons, power dragons, time dragons—those capable of manipulating spiritual energy—are stronger and rarer, called Legendary Dragon Species, their power even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>before [Hyperdimensional Teleportation] shut down, Luo De had bought relatively common true dragon scales from the Magic Control Union.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The progress after absorption was negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To upgrade the Dragon Scale Technique from +18 to +19, he’d need to spend at least hundreds of thousands of Jin Along on bulk purchases—no cost-effectiveness at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>during the dwarf rebellion, the Detention Department released numerous magical hazards; rumors say half the Magic Control Union’s territory was shattered, with recovery nowhere in sight—forget about buying anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But there’s a small problem—you’ll have to overcome it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hali’s hopeful expression didn’t fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De looked at her beautiful face and the deeper cleavage formed by her pressure—suddenly, a bad feeling arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just say it outright. We’re old friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, this trial actually assesses a Star-Spirit’s personal strength and control over frontline companions, so… the frontline companion must be branded with the user’s enslavement mark before entering the labyrinth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know this is asking too much! But please, Luo De! This is vital to me! I heard some rivals have enslaved Blue Dragons, Deathbringer Lords, and Corpse Grave Demons! I was injured in Coral Bay and had no time to find a better companion—please!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands were soft and smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gripped Luo De’s hand tightly, occasionally squeezing his palm and back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m a person of status now—how would it look if others knew I was enslaved by you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can establish a magical contract! Prove this enslavement is only temporary cooperation—once the trial ends, we immediately break it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo De still reluctant, Hali’s cold blue eyes rolled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She added: “I know you’re skilled in enslavement magic too—how about this: you enslave me, and I enslave you. When it’s over, we both break the marks together. Deal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De’s expression turned strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Won’t mutual enslavement cause problems?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I have a way to bypass this restriction… You don’t know, some nobles enjoy this—making slaves enslave them, whipping, dripping wax, that sort of thing. I heard stories when I served as a guard in noble households.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, alright then, since you say so…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hali smiled brilliantly, maintaining her elegance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her legs couldn’t help bouncing excitedly, like a little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she released Luo De’s hands, stood tall, chest out, assuming the posture of being at his mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You go first, Luo De.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Enslavement Successful]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Enslaved Object 17: Hali Strauss]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Race: Star-Spirit]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Age: 39]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Obedience: 57]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Evaluation: Star-Spirits—another race loved by some, hated by others.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De ignored the evaluation’s content and promptly halted the shared skill extraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once shared skills are extracted, they can’t be undone—he couldn’t spend his whole life tied to her for a single quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hali gently pulled down her collar and saw a pink enslavement mark glowing between her breasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t seem to mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her spell satchel, she took a blue bracelet, slipped it onto Luo De’s wrist, and murmured a spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A noticeably smaller enslavement mark appeared on the inside of Luo De’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unknown enslavement magic detected. Remove?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De ignored it for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There, our deal has completed its first step.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hali offered a proper smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, her inner self was roaring with laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fooled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fooled!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hahahahahaha—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the training artifact I spent two months finding! Though it carries only a basic enslavement spell, its true feature is what I valued most!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artifact has been bathed in my blood—once worn, you’ll soon feel an irresistible urge to draw near me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, you’ll suffer splitting headaches and unbearable itching, only relieved by my kisses, hugs, and caresses!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I remove the enslavement spell later, it won’t fade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Luo De will only think he fell in love with me during the trial, abandon those forest girls, and keep coming back to my arms, played like a puppet in my palm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hahahaha—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She forcibly suppressed her inner joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calm down, Hali.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember: at first, show just enough disdain and annoyance toward Luo De—don’t seem too happy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are you laughing so hard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De asked in surprise, then joined her in laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley quickly straightened up and wiped the drool from her lips: “Nothing much. I just walked around Coral Bay and saw fans of the big star Lila fighting with your fans—it was funny.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They fought?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, really fierce—they used glow sticks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I listened for a bit. It seems Lila’s fans called you a lustful lecher and formed a defense squad to ban you from approaching. Your fans got upset, so they started fighting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every time Lila Starwhisper holds a concert, she causes trouble locally—so many messy details. You’ve got to be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let them cause trouble. We started making tickets, banners, and glow lights half a month ago. As long as we make money—you know Lila Starwhisper?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley sneered, puffing out her chest proudly: “A big star? I’ve heard a bit about her.
