In our legends, once in love, we turn into bubbles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How tragic—to willingly lose your life just to love a human.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey hey hey, did I say anything like that? Lord Luo is my boss, my employer! My lord, can I eat her? I’ve never eaten a Cloud Sprite before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De glanced at the rapidly rising [Gluttony Points] on his panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found it amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan Ni, the Ghoul, also loved meat, but her appetite was clearly small—half a human adult’s steak was enough to make her full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, when she was being playful, two or three sips of [Primordial Dew] would leave her completely satiated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she naturally provided few Gluttony Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, most had come from Little Horsemaid Bond and the female beastwoman Amy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even that was limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just these two or three encounters with Sirene Riv had surpassed their accumulated total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyla Starwhisper paid no mind to the Siren’s threat to eat her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, once she noticed there were no spectators, she barely cared about the stalker behind her, who was nearly dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I chat with you? Mr. Luo, about you and your girls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely looking at the man before her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyla felt inspiration gushing wildly in her mind—new songs\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just new songs—I feel I could produce a whole album right now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De waved his hand at Riv to shoo her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Siren pouted, cast one last lingering glance at Luo De’s exposed flesh, then turned and dove into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyla raised her hand to block the splashing water, her eyes brightening:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She can’t bear to leave you! See that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s just fond of my flesh. Enough talk—get your people to pick you up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a moment, let’s chat some more. I heard you keep a succubus—is that true? Doesn’t she get jealous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward a sudden magical shadow appearing on the beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strand of silk flashed from the dark mass, then stretched open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young female mage slowly rose, her face fearful, head bowed, not daring to look at Luo De: “My lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the Spider Elf Yuna’s skill, [Temporal Silk], generated by Luo De’s [Growth Spirit].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When attached to any spell, it grants brief spatial teleportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long-term irrigation with [Primordial Dew] had elevated the Spider Lady to the seventh tier, and she had gained enough insight to create sub-versions of the skill to temporarily grant to her subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female mage looked vaguely familiar—perhaps one Yuna had picked up from somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s Yuna?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Yuna is handling an illegal rogue mage lab in the east city district—she’s currently occupied. Very sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whatever. Dispose of the corpse and send her back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As you command.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female mage opened her palm—no incantation or mana slot needed—she directly used Yuna’s ethereal little spider to spew thick webs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wrapped the corpse on the ground into a mummy, then sank it into shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Lyla, please.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Lyla did not resist; she obediently took the mage’s outstretched hand—the man’s attack had truly frightened her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head again toward Luo De: “How do I find you? I mean, we still need to discuss concert arrangements.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to find me. Someone else will handle it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I still need to thank you for saving me twice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need. Just behave yourself and finish the concert.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De said nothing more, bent his knees slightly, unleashed a burst of power, and infused his hands with [Repulsion Technique]—his entire body shot instantly into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames of Hell rapidly wrapped around him as he ascended, forming a massive fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a surge of searing heat, he shot across the sky, trailing thick black smoke, vanishing from their sight in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lyla stared in shock at the lingering black smoke in the sky, surprised the man cared nothing for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit her lip, expression resentful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You won’t let me find you? Then I’ll find you anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Luo De arrived at the rendezvous point with Haley, it was nearly noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the southern edge of the Koe Plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relatively close to a branch of the Hansen River, with a survivor camp nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Luo De and the Bunny Girl Oona had searched for the missing Fungus Girl Scarlett, they’d stayed overnight here—Helen, the manager, was a very warm-hearted half-elf who sheltered ordinary survivors still alive on the Koe Plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know if she was still here after all this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star-Spirit lady was lounging half-reclined on the head of a gargoyle, with no decorum at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One leg crossed over the other, her slender, translucent dark-blue calf dangling and swaying in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her hands, she held a small book, occasionally giggling foolishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haley.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley hastily hid the book behind her back, forcing a polite, smug smile: “. You’re here so early, Luo De? There’s still time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you’re idle, what are you reading? So happy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression stiffened: “Nothing—just some funny novels. Let me take you to lunch?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two moved off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star-Spirits maintained a base on the Koe Plains under the Star Association; they faced no risk of infection from the Beastification Blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star-Spirits believe Beastification is one path to sensing distant star systems and finding the way home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, they crave infection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, their experiments target only themselves, with no impact on others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s truly the case, it’s best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main course and branches of the Hansen River on Dusk Hill have now been fully surveyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Shepherd Village branch shows issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karist will soon begin investigating the Koe Plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And changing the method of infection? That’s exactly what the Star Association would hope for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De’s purpose here is to act as Vanguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s strange, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De has wandered the Koe Plains many times, yet he’s never seen the Star-Spirits’ base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flying for half an hour,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at one of the few mountains on the Koe Plains—though only five or six hundred meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley led Luo De into a cave atop the peak and pulled out a brown wooden disc with a dial, resembling a compass from his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pressed the disc onto a pre-established magical device and turned the dial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dial rotated, the cave’s ceiling above them also turned, replaced by a bright, mostly white ceiling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Detected environmental penalty of ‘Unknown Labyrinth’: Constitution and Strength slightly reduced】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Use ‘Extra-Spatial Affinity’ exemption?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Labyrinth?
