Such pure energy—I’ve never seen a potion like this, Luo De. Will you sell the formula?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if I sold it, you couldn’t make it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could that be? We Cloud Elves have a natural advantage in crafting magical potions—we’ll surely manage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cloud Elves are naturally light-bodied, long dwellers of the skies, and possess high innate affinity for elements, making them especially skilled in magical potioncraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not for sale.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De examined the “Blood of Illusion” in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhombus crystal remained semi-translucent, its center holding a swirling mass of crimson blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood occasionally cast faint red shadows, coalescing into human faces that made grotesque faces at Luo De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He attempted to use the [Pseudo-Ovulation] ability like Mota Moonshadow had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had no effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De sensed he lacked the lunar-related domain needed to activate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Medlin drank half the vial, and his lethargy immediately lifted by more than half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Star-Spirit’s eyes showed no trace of confusion—only astonishment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such potent effects! If we can open a market, we’ll make a fortune. Mr. Luo De, how about we collaborate? Money is no issue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De quickly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The main ingredient is too scarce to produce in large quantities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His [Genesis Dew] was abundant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only enough to feed the girls in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we truly opened the market, demand wouldn’t be as simple as a few thousand—it could easily draw in hundreds of thousands, drawn by the [Genesis Dew]’s extraordinary potency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, Luo De estimated he’d become a fruit squeezed dry in a juicer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Medlin glanced curiously at the Cloud Elf girl. “Miss Lila, I heard the Lord of Cloudweave City is your father—is that true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lila Starwhisper made no effort to hide it, smiling brightly: “Indeed, he is my father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder Baron Barnes, who publicly harassed you before, suddenly backed off—did your father beat him up? I’ve heard Lord Kraft of Cloudweave City has a violent temper.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Father merely took his entire family on a tour of Cloudweave City. Baron Barnes didn’t eat for days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahahaha—oh! By the way, wasn’t that song ‘Unrelenting Ghost’ written about Baron Barnes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lila Starwhisper smiled without answering—effectively confirming it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both girls smiled, delighted by the gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley held an empty vial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched Lila Starwhisper, sweetly smiling, intimately linked with Luo De’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange discomfort stirred inside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rose shakily, walked over, feigned accidental intrusion, slipped between them, and linked her arm with Luo De’s: “I still feel unwell, Luo De… could you restore my mana?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The superstar was somewhat blunt, utterly unaware of the Star-Spirit’s deliberate maneuver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued chatting with Medlin about current pop trends and gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De noticed that after Haley linked her arm with his, she clung to him like a soft-bodied creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her chest pressed against his ribs, her legs pressed against his, her flushed face lazily rested against his shoulder—highly intimate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De lifted her chin, studying her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dazed, vacant expression was most common on Tally’s face—and often appeared on girls under the influence of seduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That shouldn’t be… the Mistforged girls and Medlin drank it without issue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De pulled out another vial of his standby Qingxingyaoshui , pinched the Cloud Elf girl’s lips, and poured it in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley was already half-dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his fingers touched her lips, she whimpered and bit down, her agile little tongue swirling inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face, radiating a soft glow with the scent of a mature woman, lifted her eyes upward—pity tinged with seduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lashes trembled; her gaze lingered a moment on his lips, then drifted away, unfocused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Tally accidentally swallowed the Abstinence Pill, how long had it been since he’d seen such a sultry expression?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tree Spirit Vivian showed little emotion and never reacted strongly when aroused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghoul Pan Ni only clumsily imitated—her clumsy wife-like charm was decent, but she couldn’t reach this level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elf Kallist? No need to mention her—Luo De and she had never once engaged in normal interaction; either he feigned sleep or she did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Arachne Yuna considered herself inferior, dared not overstep, and forced herself to be elegant even during morning bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Land Naga Eve treated it with disdain and routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dog-Woman Sharon and the Half-Deer Xiao Ke were both a bit tsundere—the former would urge you to go again, the latter would impatiently tell you to hurry up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiefling Lin Saixier, having tasted it, craved novelty—she knew the least about this subject and was currently in the exploration phase, always trying something new each time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Banshee Krist might simply enjoy this—she’d only comply if forced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Female Beastman Amy? Pure physical training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone came close to this mature seductiveness, there was one more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve’s mother Lilian—possessing the mature, seductive wife aura, she treated every part of you as a treasure, kissing and caressing you with tender care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He missed Tally. He missed Lilian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hall of Peering Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cracks in the sealing crystal had widened slightly; one of the twelve silver rune chains binding it had turned ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the seal was weakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slick eyeball spun violently, fixing on the figure that had appeared in the white hall without warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same appearance as the previous pervert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it was a constantly shifting mass of pitch-black, like a human silhouette drained of all light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shadow? Are you one of Luo De’s spells? I told you—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyeball Luka’s pupils shrank sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow’s outline barely held human form when still, but when moving, its body twisted and stretched like molten tar—parts of its torso even briefly dissolved into misty black smoke, only to coalesce again the next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent footsteps echoed in the Hall of Peering Moon, where the sound of a vigorous heartbeat had been abruptly silenced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the stretching shadow,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>faintly visible were a pulsing heart and a skull wrapped in writhing darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fool!?!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyeball Luka roared in shock and fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of the four organs’ temples, besides their seals, had been repurposed to sustain their life force—hundreds of thousands of years of slumber had worn down most of their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly absorbing the seal’s energy was the wise course; to break free so recklessly right after awakening only wasted strength pointlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which idiot came up with this idiotic plan?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how fiercely you fight for dominance of consciousness, you mustn’t weaken yourself like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which one of you is Luka’s proxy? The skull? Or the heart? Let it speak to me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow stretched into a blurred afterimage, like a smear of ink, and slammed into the sealing crystal in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its hand, hard as steel, plunged ruthlessly into the crystal’s crack—shards flew everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyeball Luka stared in disbelief at the shadow so close—only now did he sense the utterly different nature and energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!
