Today, it begins anew. You’ve done well, Eve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The accompanying military officer immediately shouted phrases like “Heaven favors the Bular Clan!” and “Dominance over the Mirror Desert!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the soldiers’ morale surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly performing their overly official display of maternal affection and filial piety before the clan, they entered the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilian immediately seized her daughter’s hand, her face alight with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You found a husband? Where is he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a mother, though her appearance resembled Eve’s, she was smaller in stature and more voluptuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Eve was a sharp, formidable female general, Lilian was a gracefully refined lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve’s cheeks flushed faintly pink, her expression stiffening slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s not exactly my husband—I sent him on a mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sent? You ordered him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not exactly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve pretended firmness, but it was Luo De who went on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come now, Eve—your future son-in-law isn’t low-ranking, is he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eighth-rank peak—and stronger than most eighth-rank peaks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! With such a high rank, why are you giving him such a cold shoulder?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilian sighed, pinching her daughter’s lovely cheek, “Men—you use them when you can. Gentleness is also one of our weapons. Don’t be so stiff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph. I don’t want to spoil him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can tell—you’ve been thinking of him all along. That’s why you resisted when I offered to introduce suitors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.It’s just average. I don’t particularly like him—I’m only interested in his strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilian wanted to agree, opened her mouth—but couldn’t utter a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes lowered, filled with wistful sorrow, as she adjusted her daughter’s collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If possible, choose someone you truly like. You don’t have to sacrifice yourself for the clan. As your mother, it breaks my heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve was taken aback by her mother’s reaction, flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t dislike him entirely—he’s at least tolerable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.But Mother, I know you’ve been searching for someone. I don’t oppose you remarrying—just don’t get tricked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilian paused, realizing there was nothing left to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head: “No. He gave me so much—even sacrificed himself, trapped and unable to escape. He would never deceive me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve stared intently at the wistful tenderness on her mother’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to have left no mark on this Naga priestess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though no longer as delicate as in her youth, her tender gentleness, alluring languor, and mature beauty had only deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve suddenly felt at peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled wryly: “Two heads are better than one. You can’t keep searching alone—tell me his name and appearance. I’ll help you find him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That would make me seem shameless. I’m already an old auntie. Let it be natural.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could you say that? Mother, you’re the most beautiful, most alluring Naga I’ve ever seen—look at your chest, your waist! What man wouldn’t be utterly bewitched by you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re annoying! Hehehe—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what’s his name, Mother~?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He… um. He’s a human man. His name is—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thud echoed outside the tent, followed by the Naga soldiers’ shocked exclamations and excited calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commotion interrupted Lilian’s words, drawing both mother and daughter’s attention to the tent flap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They listened as footsteps drew nearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilian felt her daughter tense, her grip tightening slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little brat says she doesn’t like him? Yet she’s nervous just bringing him to meet the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the tent flap was pulled aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strikingly handsome, tall, rugged man raised his hand, bowed his head, and stepped through the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a familiar face—one she had dreamed of—appeared in Lilian’s vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They locked eyes, both frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilian’s smile stiffened, unmoving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve seemed not to notice, forcing a cold tone: “Let me introduce you—he’s Luo De.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1181,"2026-06-20T19:55:32.419Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3b8433cc382b466cf040f6c3242d7301b1bb810733d0b7998832dac64a9938b2","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-688","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-686",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
