It was my oversight—I only just learned that the Jade Domain is closed during the Dragon Viewing Festival.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gema said apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine. It’s only three days anyway, and they’ve even given us tickets to the Dragon Viewing Platform—take this chance to rest properly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Isabella had already notified the city hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they saw the letter, they assigned a dedicated staff member to receive and explain everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the lord of Jade City and the Argyle family are on good terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So dragons mate for three days straight! Big brother~ Look how impressive I am~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De tapped Tally on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not ‘for three days at once’—it’s three consecutive days, because their conception rate is too low.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the succubus, lacking a uterus, didn’t fully understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d heard their conception method involved extracting eggs from human females and incubating them through special artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three left the city hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the inn, they found a restaurant serving dwarf cuisine on a food street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dwarf cuisine is known for its heaviness and generous portions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It centers on starchy foods like bread, paired with large amounts of meat broth and stews.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meat, slow-braised until tender, combined with rosemary, garlic, and other spices, may look unremarkable, but the rich aroma that filled the nose made one’s mouth water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the classic dwarf honey beer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeniably, this was the most delicious meal Luo De had eaten during this journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally, who disliked meat, raved over the honey beer, drinking several barrels before getting drunk and refusing to leave Luo De’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought the night would end there, but after carrying her back to the room, she suddenly erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on Luo De’s lap, reeking of alcohol, she thrashed wildly, her movements wild and lascivious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De brought down the succubus, still sluggish from her hangover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master… my head hurts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never thought succubi could get hangovers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s because alcohol is wonderful. Our resistance is good, but sometimes we deliberately let go of recreational drugs and drinks. I can’t take it anymore—I need to rest in the shadows.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re going to the Dragon Viewing Platform soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, after arriving in Jade City, Luo De would have parted ways with Gema.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since they both had tickets, they’d agreed to go together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“. Then wake me when we get there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a whisper, she vanished into Luo De’s shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The innkeeper at the front desk happened to see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He frowned and said: “Magic is prohibited here, guest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade City itself didn’t ban magic; some establishments might forbid it verbally, but that was all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De left the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly spotted Gema amid the bustling crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, her magic puppet was still quite eye-catching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she stood before a rock cake breakfast shop, staring in shock at the gray rock cake in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint tooth mark marred its surface—clearly, she hadn’t been able to bite into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good morning, Gema.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder it’s Jade City,” Luo De smiled. “Just on this street alone, there are over twenty kinds of food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gema gave a wry smile and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You might not believe me, but I just saw a dung beetle-man-run delicatessen beside the city library.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two followed the crowd, walking up the slope toward the Dragon Viewing Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, they paused to look around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De bought Tally a hair ornament adorned with dragon horns and a dragon tail belt, planning to try it on tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True half-dragons were certainly possible, but sometimes playing a false role had its own charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they passed the third large domed casino,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gema suddenly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Earlier, I researched the Banshee in the city library.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? What did you find?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, seeing a Banshee doesn’t mean death—at least not for the one who sees her. Again, I apologize, Mr. Luo De. I was overly sensitive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De waved it off, showing he didn’t mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In a ten-year-old Green Forest Daily, I found many reports of Banshees involved in scams—they collaborated with professional con artists, crying near people’s homes, then letting the con artists arrive to ‘lift the curse’ and steal money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De’s expression turned strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How bizarre the culture of these intelligent races was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, dragons perform live erotic shows, then Banshees pull off clumsy scams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn’t at all what I heard about on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, Banshees do possess a weak ability to foretell death. In the past, nobles often invited them to wail at funerals—perhaps the rumors originated from there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remarkable research spirit, Ms. Gema.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jade City had abundant entertainment facilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casinos, circuses, dance halls were everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even during daytime, some brothels openly operated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De had already seen several elves entering these establishments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are so many elves in Jade City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the closest human city to the Verdant Court. Many young elves sneak over to play—you know, elven restraint is too repressive. We’ve arrived—the Dragon Viewing Platform.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the two reached the Dragon Viewing Platform. After staff stamped their tickets with a special alchemical seal, they entered officially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a double-tiered platform jutting out from a hillside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was paved with translucent jade made by alchemical craftsmanship, held in place by magical vines and tree frameworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first tier was packed with people; the second tier, clearly VIP seating, was divided into private booths, each screened off by partitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their tickets granted access to the second-floor VIP area, but they found it too quiet and chose to go downstairs instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>lay a hill beyond Jade City’s grasslands, beside a river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De happened to see a colossal metallic dragon, as large as a mountain, slowly rising to its feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dragon moved, the surrounding tourists all cried out in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De sharply turned his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a human nearby pull a knife from his bag and glare menacingly at a blonde elf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1155,"2026-06-20T19:55:30.170Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4e6397c17ca1a03add1b1ec9bd4c3a40e205bc5fec8ba88433891001c0a2dd1e","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-71","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-69",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
