Why should my master marry her? If he’s going to marry anyone, it should be me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A succubus? You keep a succubus? How can you betray my sister?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refined cloud elf man’s pupils flashed gold, and he let out another agonized cry: “Does my sister know? Does she know you already have a woman?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De took another sip of frozen yogurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Descending from the clouds—a cloud elf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not hard to guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Layla Starwhisper’s brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Precisely! I am Claudio Starwhisper. All eight songs on her album are about you—even when Father locked me in confinement, I kept muttering your name. Even her manager, Camille, let slip a few things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waaahhh! My poor sister—her beloved man turns out to be a two-timing scoundrel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally sneered: “Correction: my master’s girls aren’t just me. Even counting only the visible ones, there are fourteen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?! Fourteen?! Damn it, damn it—this is such a shameless, chain-boat scoundrel! I’m taking you to Cloudweave City today to get married!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve misunderstood something. I’ve met Miss Layla Starwhisper only four or five times—we’re not what you imagine. Besides, Layla isn’t my type.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cloud elf was flat as a runway—how could he possibly find him interesting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his explanation only made Claudio Starwhisper angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clouds surged violently, spiraling upward into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twisted: “What do you mean, ‘not your type’?! My Layla is a thousand times, ten thousand times more beautiful than your succubus! How dare you look down on her?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow-white clouds spun, coalescing into a massive, fluffy fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it only looked fluffy—the fist tore through the air, shattering layers of airflow as it slammed toward Luo De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, blue-white soul mist had already spilled forth, slowly forming a towering, ancient tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its phantom form, scaled like dragonhide, pierced straight through the clouds, shredding the drifting mist into tattered strands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the trunk emerged a translucent, tree-like girl, equally phantom—she affectionately rested both hands on Luo De’s head and stuck out her tongue at Claudio Starwhisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De raised one hand forward, palm gently lifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal [Repulsion Shu ] amplified by [Celestial Ancient Tree’s Blessing +10] and enhanced by +43 erupted, laced with moonfire and ice shards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful airflow and recoil drove Luo De’s feet deep into the ground; a swift white gust surged into the forest, shaking the treetops violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immense force and moonfire tore the cloud fist apart, ripping it into a honeycomb of fragments that rained down with a splash at Claudio Starwhisper’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared in shock, his refined little beard twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he grinned with fierce enthusiasm: “Good! Now you’re worthy to be my brother-in-law! Again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you serious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He surged with clouds once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, another column of cloud descended from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Idiot brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Layla Starwhisper’s hem and sleeves fluttered as she rushed over frantically: “Father told you to stop embarrassing yourself! Come back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m solving your lifelong problem! Don’t rush—I’ll tie him up and take him home tonight, we’ll marry him, and next year you’ll have a baby!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you talking about?! My relationship with Luo De isn’t like that at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why did you mutter his name while staring at the moon last night, the night before, and the night before that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was writing songs! For heaven’s sake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seeing an object reminds you of a person, using objects to symbolize feelings—I’m an experienced man, I’ve been through deep, unforgettable love. I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You understand nothing! Your girlfriend back then was a demoness our sister hired to prank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claudio Starwhisper shuddered, staring at her in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Layla Starwhisper shrank her shoulders and swiftly distanced herself: “It was Sister! She told me not to say anything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Joyna! I swear I’ll never forgive you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claudio roared to the sky, his cloud column swirling upward as his figure vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his place stood a middle-aged man whose hair was entirely white mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual essence was calm and solid, yet his aura surged wildly, filling the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Craft Starwhisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true owner of the 91-point domain power [Skyward Eye] on the superstar Layla.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded to Luo De, offering a faint, elegant smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cloudweave City came here to thank Mr. Luo De for aiding my daughter. My foolish son somehow got wind of it and rushed ahead of us—forgive the inconvenience, Mr. Luo De.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De smiled and shook his head, indicating he didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Tally, seeing the tension ease, handed over the frozen yogurt again—secretly adding a bit of Tally juice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Luo De isn’t short on money, and a ninth-rank is child’s play to you. Old man doesn’t understand young people’s tastes, so I’ve come specifically to ask: what gift would you like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De actually had something he wanted to ask him, and he was too lazy for formalities—he cut straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I won’t be polite, Mr. Craft. Your mastery of domains is extraordinary. I’d like to know: is there any way to rapidly advance a domain or break through a bottleneck?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Craft smiled slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I admire your bluntness. This matter is simple: first, steady, mundane refinement—reliable but slow;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>second, completing a great deed tied to your domain—like a plague domain causing contamination across an entire continent;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>third, anchoring your domain to a single object—just as the fear domain of the porcelain-white longsword at your waist, or the Domain Mage Tower of the Kingdom of Aetheron, though the latter has many restrictions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first two points need no elaboration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third—anchoring a domain—sounds somewhat like building a divine realm in the divine power system, except it’s anchored to an object, not a region, and the quality difference is immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De nodded, already forming a plan in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Mr. Craft—do you know anything about the First Era relic legend of Shiying Town?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A First Era relic? Its star fate is concealed. I only know it’s a clay tablet recording the lizard-people’s myths of the First Era; rumors say it holds records of various demonic gods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Craft’s expression turned grave: “I originally thought it was just primitive lizard-people misinterpreting natural phenomena. But given what you and my daughter experienced in the Celestial Association’s labyrinth, I’ll investigate further.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the continent’s top combatants didn’t know about the sealed tablet before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at the Campbell Labyrinth, that Igo Church cardinal clearly mentioned demonic gods—how did they know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could think further,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Craft noticed Luo De didn’t seem to want anything else, and felt it wasn’t sufficiently respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed several items from his spell satchel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1179,"2026-06-20T19:55:32.419Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a2e9a06f6881eb98668cd15b41658c4c59c3252dd058a4d993e0753a79c5ce86","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-700","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-698",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
