Chapter 669: Recovery and Activation

Luo De stared at the succubus sleeping before him.

To say he had no thoughts at all would be a lie.

Especially not when it was Tally, such a cute and alluring creature.

But the memory of her earlier panic—being dragged onto the dining table and gorging herself—flashed through his mind, and he felt a pang of reluctance.

If the succubus were her usual insolent self, he wouldn’t have hesitated an instant.

Right now, while she slept, he could easily pick her up and pin her down without a second thought.

But now, she looked utterly pitiful, heartbreakingly fragile.

Luo De sighed and decided not to disturb her sleep anymore.

“Mmm.”

She struggled to open her eyes, gazing at Luo De through hazy, half-closed lids.

Instantly, her eyes lit up with delight, her lips curling into an unrestrained smile.

But then she noticed her own hands clutching his palm against her chest, squashing the soft mounds beneath—her face flushed crimson.

She quickly let go, yanking the pillow over her chest and face, shrinking timidly into the corner.

“T-that, Master, I thought you wouldn’t come back tonight… so… so… sorry!”

“You can come whenever you like. I welcome it.”

“That won’t do! Tally committed sins before—until Master forgives me, Tally will never break our promise!”

“You weren’t this well-behaved before.”

Luo De chuckled and waved her over.

Tally hesitated, then crept forward nervously.

“I want to hold you. I’ve been busy all day—I’m tired.”

“Huh?”

The succubus shrank back. “If you’re tired, Tally can give you a massage. Hugging won’t help.”

“Of course it will. Holding Tally makes me feel happy and light.”

“...Succubi don’t have such a spiritual technique, do they?”

“It’s different. Tally’s special—can’t I even get a hug from my Master?”

“H-how could that be! Wait a moment—I’ll transform into a girl more suitable for hugging!”

“No. This is fine.”

Tally looked troubled, scrutinizing her own body with mild disgust.

“But it’s ugly. It’ll scare Master.”

“Didn’t I say? Your true form is adorable—I love you exactly like this.”

“Really?!”

“Of course.”

Tally smiled shyly, then clenched her resolve and shut her eyes.

Like a duck, she sat on the bed, trembling as she opened her arms toward Luo De.

“Come on! Master!”

Luo De couldn’t help but laugh silently.

The moment his arms wrapped around her slender waist, Tally let out a kitten-like whimper; through the silk nightgown, he could clearly feel her taut spine, trembling.

Her signature honey-sweet scent, mingled with soap, washed over him.

His palm glided slowly down her butterfly bones; each brush of his fingertips made the girl shiver anew.

Tally suddenly gripped his shirt, her forehead shifting from resting on his collarbone to burying itself against his neck.

Her hair and lashes brushed his skin.

Their bodies pressed tight—heart-stopping softness and delicate tightness—while her heartbeat, wild and uncontrolled, pulsed against his chest, heat spreading from their skin-to-skin contact.

“Relax.”

Luo De couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Tally suddenly lifted her head; her nose grazed his lips, her wet pink pupils brimming with his reflection, rippling like water.

But Luo De froze.

He clearly felt the aura of seduction rising from below.

Tally’s reaction after accidentally swallowing the Abstinence Pill was poor—even last time on the dining table, when she flailed wildly—so why now...

“Mmm?”

“Tally can’t pretend anymore! Master~~~ Wu !”

The succubus’s eyes blazed with pink radiance.

She launched herself forward, boldly kissing him.

Startled, Luo De was shoved flat onto the bed—her familiar frantic grabbing and pawing returned.

“You—”

“Don’t talk. Kiss me! I’ve wanted this for so long! Hurry!!”

“...”

Luo De was speechless, but his heart warmed.

He gripped her waist and kissed her fiercely.

Tally, parched and desperate, could no longer wait—her heart-shaped tail hooked under his sleep pants and pulled them down.

She pressed against his thigh; the temperature rose again.

She straddled him, pouting as she reluctantly broke their kiss.

Her crossed arms lifted her nightgown upward—revealing, for the first time in ages, the succubus’s perfect, alluring body beneath Luo De’s gaze.

Just then, the sky brightened.

Sunlight streamed through the window, glinting behind Tally.

A faint sheen of sweat shimmered with white radiance.

Her pupils, face, and demonic horns glowed with intense, vivid pink; her exquisite, sultry face wore a wicked, triumphant smirk as she looked down.

Her thighs and hips, pressed tightly and slightly spread, and the heavy, gravity-soft curves above them.

All unmistakably voluptuous traits.

Yet from her hip bones upward to her waist, the outline narrowed sharply—startlingly slender.

Her abdomen, taut with faint definition of abs and a faint washboard, gleamed snow-white—its rune glowing faintly.

The pink glow remained.

Tally, dazed and enchanted, cupped her cheeks, wetting her lips with a sultry tongue, her wicked smile deepening.

“Mine... all mine.”

Luo De’s eyes widened slightly—he could no longer hold back, pulling her close.

“Ahhhh~~~”

Tally shrieked with delight, joyfully welcoming her Master.

Not long after.

The familiar sound from the woods returned at last.

It echoed endlessly, unceasing, making the leaves outside the window tremble in rhythm.

Far away.

The half-deer girl, carrying a basket of wild berries, twitched her delicate deer ears, glancing toward the direction of someone’s cottage.

She blushed and spat, yet couldn’t suppress a smile—glad for the succubus’s long-absent voice.

At the magic treehouse.

The elf lady, who had watched the experiment all night, suddenly furrowed her delicate brows.

Her cool, emerald eyes seemed to pierce through the treehouse; after a moment, she sneered coldly.

“Boring.”

She turned back to her lab table, but her frown deepened further.

After much struggle, she couldn’t help pulling something from her spell satchel, muttering: “Damn humans.”

Luo De patted Tally’s back as she lay exhausted on his chest.

Without hesitation.

He chose to activate Tally’s 【Ancestral Bloodline】.
