If you’re completely unprepared, you’ll only be going through the motions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, it’s no big deal. Jade City is beautiful—you’ve seen the Dragon Watching Festival and tried the Jade Domain trial. Mr. Luo, your trip hasn’t been in vain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alisha agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily frowned slightly at their words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to say something when Luo De gently placed a hand on her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De smiled faintly, showing no concern at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This expression only made Alisha and Kornel angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu En’s expression was gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The failure two days ago had deeply etched itself into his mind, leaving him restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu En, I know you’re upset, but you’re still young—take care of your health.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within his ring, his teacher’s worried voice echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the past two days, this student had dragged Rita to the small dark room whenever he had free time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His emotions were released, but he was still human—if he damaged his kidney essence now, it would be nearly impossible to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, teacher. I’ll exercise more restraint from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can find the breathing technique called [Elibert’s Secret of Pleasure], it wouldn’t matter. It harmonizes male-female acts—it won’t harm your body, and during union, it connects spiritual essence, enhancing accumulation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“[Elibert’s Secret of Pleasure]? Do you know where to find it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A breathing technique that wouldn’t harm his body yet boosted his rank—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking of Rita’s posture last night made Lu En’s heart race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To force himself to endure it long-term would be too much of a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only know it last appeared near Melody Coast, but that was a hundred years ago. Still, given your fortune, you may have a chance to reach there someday and find it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Melody Coast. I’ll remember.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t force it, Lu En. From an astrological perspective, your star destiny is extremely strong—all surrounding stars revolve around you. But in recent years, perhaps our plundering has been too much; your star destiny has clearly declined these past few months.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu En took his teacher’s words seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But some things are inherent in one’s nature—many people aren’t even aware of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, suppressing the rising desire in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand, teacher. I’ll be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Forget about that night’s Vengeful Lion—he concealed his strength. He’s likely among the peak of sixth-rank, possibly even half-step seventh-rank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu En remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his peripheral vision, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome man wrapped in a worn cloak, carrying a golden longsword whose hilt glowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the man he had met at Dragon Pit Lake that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he daydreamed, his teacher’s voice suddenly exclaimed from within the ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, your fortune is exceptional, Lu En—this man also possesses a high-level pass!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is his spiritual accumulation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher, reduced to a mere wisp of soul within the ring, had far weaker perception than Lu En.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his knowledge and experience far surpassed anyone Lu En had ever known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifth-rank peak—he’s here to ascend in the Jade Domain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have Rita help you. With his corpse in hand, the Dragon Soul is within reach.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher’s voice remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew how rare an opportunity this was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu En couldn’t help but feel his heart surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing grew slightly rapid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately stepped forward and tapped the leader, Rita.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita turned, saw him, and her gaze flickered nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with me. I need your help with something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now? But you just—this morning before we left—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not that, idiot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps his voice was too loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby classmates and Teacher Milinda turned, frowning in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu En scratched his head, offering a harmless smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My mana seems to be acting up again—I need Rita’s help once more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the aid of strong fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His magical and spiritual progress was astonishingly rapid, and such issues had indeed occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, no one found it strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu En and Rita moved away from the crowd, walking to a place with few people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need you to kill someone for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rita asked nothing and immediately agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the effect of the Passionate Secret Art gradually deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy before her, who reached only to her chin, had already filled her heart completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1147,"2026-06-20T19:55:30.170Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","85de07c064b9ee679e681b0f4f06d1bef24001a427a3cee7f68d57b28638a21d","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-78","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-76",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
