Chapter 98: The Ones Who Came from the Forest and the Night

Twenty minutes later.

Arrived at Shi Ying Town.

This promotion journey has officially ended.

Luo De paid Gai Ma the final payment for guiding.

“If you need me again, you can find me through my cousin Pete.”

As a customer, Luo De was quite easygoing.

And he spent generously, rarely causing trouble (at least in the eyes of the goblin Gai Ma).

Although he was promiscuous and sentimental, most girls on the road fell for him.

Luo De, of course, had no idea what Gai Ma thought.

After saying goodbye, he brought Kris to the town hall.

One reason was to complete the paperwork for ending his leave; the other was to register Kris for residency in Shi Ying Town.

Although bringing her directly into the forest would likely go unnoticed.

But she was still a person in need of reform—officially recording her was necessary.

Given Luo De’s past deeds in saving Shi Ying Town and Young Lady Daphne, the town hall processed everything smoothly.

Only then did he learn his weekly salary had risen to ten Jin Along.

He wasn’t short on money at all.

“Hey, Luo De! Long time no see!”

Just as he stepped out of the town hall, he met Sergeant David walking out of an alley.

He spotted Luo De at once.

But when he saw Kris, his brow furrowed.

“Undead?”

“Long time no see. She’s a Banshee—I just registered her at the town hall.”

“Oh! Rare sight! I’ve never seen this race before. But she doesn’t look much different from other undead.”

Luo De pointed to Kris’s swollen eyes.

“See? That’s the Banshee’s only distinguishing feature.”

“Hey, Luo De, if you keep bringing girls back, the forest will be full.”

“When have I ever brought girls back to the forest?”

Luo De frowned.

After all, the Ghoul Pan Ni and the Orc Amy were kept secret—few knew of them.

As for the Elf Kali Site , she came uninvited.

By the way, I wonder if she even registered for residency.

“You don’t know? To deal with the sand whirlwinds of the Death Desert, Lady Di Mi Ya has moved into the forest.”

Witch Di Mi Ya?

Is that true?

Luo De had no idea.

He bid David farewell.

When Luo De returned to the farm outside the Windwall Forest, dusk was near.

The farms beyond Bai Yu District still had no takers.

Worse, rumors had spread of burrowing demon worms.

It was said the foresters’ lambs had been swallowed by the ground.

Without thinking, Luo De knew where the rumor came from.

“Pan Ni.”

No response.

“Pan Ni!”

Luo De raised his voice.

The next moment, a small mound of earth rose and shot toward him.

Then burst upward.

The Ghoul Pan Ni landed gracefully and knelt on one knee.

A white robe with a wide open collar draped over her, now thinner than before, like gauze—clearly revealing her pale skin beneath.

Her two large, Bazi -shaped breasts swayed in the air, as eye-catching as ever.

“Master, Pan Ni is here.”

Luo De noticed her decay seemed less severe.

Especially on her chest—it had been carefully tended, smoother than the rest of her skin.

“Report: who has entered the forest over the past month?”

Pan Ni, obedient as ever, relayed all the outer-region intelligence.

During this, she stole a glance at the hovering Banshee.

She silently sighed—another poor soul.

Aside from the Succubus Tally, who clung to the Master constantly, this one quietly stepped back a pace, her expression fake with forced respect and unnatural stiffness.

Her eyes darted around—clearly full of mischief.

This one, no doubt, was like her: a sinner seeking redemption.

The Master would never grow close to such creatures—might not even allow them into the forest.

Just like herself.

Thinking of this, Pan Ni sighed silently.

Since parting from the Master, she’d often felt an itch inside her body.

An experience she’d never had since becoming a Ghoul.

‘I wonder when I’ll be allowed to live openly in the Master’s cottage?’

Luo De listened to her report.

Nodded silently.

“Not only Witch Di Mi Ya—now even the Magic Control League has come?”

It made sense.

The sand whirlwinds of the Death Desert were massive—how could they not know?

This was precisely their jurisdiction.

“By the way, Master, the guy who delivered the lambs—five of them were severely underweight!”

At this, Pan Ni grew furious.

After all, she hadn’t eaten properly those days.

“I see. Here—take these.”

Luo De pulled several corpses from his spell satchel.

They were bandits who had attacked his carriage—he’d picked them up casually.

Pan Ni, seeing human corpses, nearly wept.

Oh my god—I’m a Ghoul. How long has it been since I ate human flesh? Waaah.

She quickly shook her Bazi -shaped breasts, shuffled over, and took Luo De’s hand, kissing it repeatedly.

Seeing this, Kris turned her face away with a strange expression, glancing at Tally.

“Senior, is the Master and this Ghoul… like that?”

“Not yet.”

Tally watched indifferently.

She no longer cared much about such petty jealousy.

With her higher-level agreement with the Master, even if it hadn’t happened yet, she’d actively encourage it.

As a participant, she’d join in tasting the Ghoul’s flavor too.

Hmm… I hope the corpse stench won’t be too strong then.

Soon after.

Pan Ni watched Kris follow Luo De into the forest.

Her mouth opened, then closed again—she turned away, lost in self-pity.

Used [Tree Walker] to move to the nearest cottage.

Luo De dropped his bags and collapsed onto the soft bed, utterly comfortable.

The journey had taken nearly a month and a half—much longer than he’d expected.

It made him miss forest life deeply.

Luo De had planned to visit Little Horsemaid Bang De and the Tree Spirit Wei Wei An, but it was already late—he abandoned the idea.

“Master, is this where I’ll be staying?”

Kris asked.

It was humble, yes—but fully equipped, far better than the stable she’d lived in back in the village!

“No.”

Luo De pointed outside.

“You sleep in the stable.”

“Huh—”

Dream all you want, but you’re not moving in this early.

He planned a relaxed, intimate evening with Tally, watching the bronze dragon’s video feed from Emerald City.

Tally smiled brightly, leapt onto the bed, and curled into a small bundle in his arms.

Soon, Krista lay crying in the stable.

Luo De and Tally stripped naked, lay on the bed, and sipped a drink.

On the wall, the bronze dragon’s magical projection played.

Then they slowly kissed.

Tap-tap-tap—

A knock suddenly sounded.

“Tch!”

Tally spat in disgust.

Luo De chuckled, patted her head, and threw on his pants to answer the door.

“Vivian?”

The tree spirit, long unseen, stood silently outside.

Her face was expressionless, her large eyes glowing with white light.

“Long time, no see, Luo De.”

“Vivian! I told you not to disturb us at night!”

Tally, still naked, staggered over.

Then she suddenly remembered something, and fell silent.

She smirked wickedly and pulled Vivian inside.

Click—the door locked.

Soon, two exquisite, supple bodies lay on the bed.

They left a wide space between them, reaching out to welcome Luo De.

There’s another chapter today, but it failed review—wait.
