None of them are trustworthy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He promised he’d come to Mirror Desert once the emerald tree was planted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s been over two months already!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve pinched her brow and let out a cold snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph! Of course you shouldn’t waste your thoughts on stinking men!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting today, discipline!

Annoying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gritted her teeth, rolled her alluring body over to the magical satchel beside the silk cushion, and pulled out a portrait of that damn man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at it, pressed it against her face, and began fantasizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she threw herself wholeheartedly into working hard to uphold the Braal Clan’s glory!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo De. Luo De mmm~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emerald tree’s spiritual energy suddenly blurred; an invisible pressure tore open, and a swirling vortex of green spiritual energy expanded at a visible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall figure stepped through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came to hide from the storm—no, I came to play with you, Eve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De’s handsome face emerged from the [Tree Walker].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls were lined with Persian blue and emerald-glazed tiles, the floor covered in handwoven wool carpets and piled with silk cushions in a sunken lounge area—unquestionably a strong Middle Eastern style, fitting for the desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right there in the lounge area,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve froze, holding Luo De’s portrait in one hand, her other hand suddenly still mid-motion, her serpent tail still tightly coiled around a long pillow, her head turning stiffly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master~ Don’t block the door, Tally can’t get in~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally’s small head squeezed out from between Luo De’s ribs and arm, took in the scene, and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she grinned wickedly: “Looks like a stinking snake is lonely and desperate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De gave her a knuckle rap—still a girl, even if she’s a snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll come back later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get back here!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aww! Don’t use that dirty hand to pull my master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the dirty one! Your whole family’s dirty! You didn’t even exist when your master was buried!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s all snake stink, nothing like my sweet, sweet scent, right Master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disgusting succubus! Die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? You think you can beat me, the one favored by the Master and already promoted to eighth-rank?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aww! You’re really going to fight?! Luo De, are you going to do anything?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two girls’ playful squabble escalated into serious combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being forcibly subdued by Luo De, they both calmed down, sitting sullenly in opposite corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Eve’s domain, after all—he had to show some respect; really, he was more focused on suppressing Tally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The amber glow of sunlight spread through the entire bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snowy, creamy skin was partially concealed by white undergarments and silver armor as she moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when the Naga deliberately displayed elegant, alluring poses toward Luo De, leaving him with a lingering sense of loss after each one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve curled her lips into a smug smile, then froze her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wanted to give you a surprise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally chimed in with a sly grin: “You’re the one who gave us a surprise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you send this thing back, Luo De?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De gave Tally another knuckle rap, walked over to Eve, and gently hugged her, feeling her slight tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Long time no see. I missed you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I missed your [Growth Spirit].”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve turned her head away, refusing eye contact, her beautiful face tinged with annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She always believed her relationship with Luo De was purely a transaction of power and beauty, perhaps mixed with lust—but absolutely no true feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You came at a perfect time—we’ve been struggling to develop one of our tombs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De spread his hands: “I’m not good at tomb exploration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to explore. This tomb of ours just appeared in another clan’s territory—just drive off those who covet the Braal Clan’s tomb.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your ancestors’ tomb?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not. We don’t dig up our own ancestral tombs. Usually.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our tomb just happened to appear in another clan’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just steal it—why pretend to be so righteous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo De wouldn’t care about morality here—he’d blindly support Eve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just woke up, want me to wake you up properly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you can take it, you can do whatever you want tonight—let’s go now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Luo De as her ultimate weapon, her ambition to unify Mirror Desert reignited—she had no room left for petty emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve assembled her troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not many—only about twenty—but all elite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with Luo De here, numbers weren’t an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Luo De and Tally’s roles? Friends. Allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would dare interfere with Princess Eve of the Braal Clan’s private life—though some ministers had once complained her private life was too clean, bad for breeding offspring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De used a ceramic swan to cast a [Group Flight Spell].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artifact’s display drew gasps from the troops, giving him a slight boost in prestige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would’ve been perfect if those senior soldiers hadn’t been secretly winking at Eve, urging her to loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing unusual—there’s a vast stretch right beside the Wind Wall Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden as far as the eye can see, no scenery worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They flew for an hour, passing a wasteland and an oasis, before finally arriving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far off, they saw heavy troop deployments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1109,"2026-06-20T19:55:32.419Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6269681f1248443a39f5ac8a203e1ed8462fbfd5d7398a7bd484fb9b4b750a1a","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-682","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-680",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
