Chapter 54 Lao Luo, do you want a wife?
"What are you standing there for? Kurotsuchi, are you taking a shower?"

Rhodes stood beside the altar and looked at Aina with a strange expression.

After coming out from behind the rock, this guy seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, standing there in a daze. It was probably that his brain was burned by the black soil, or he was afraid of being tied up by them like last time.

And just when his voice fell.

Aina finally came back to her senses.

She gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, strode across the black soil, walked in front of him, and winked at him desperately.

Rhodes: ...

"You... got something in your eye?"

Aina froze when she heard that, and her cheeks instantly turned red: "You are the one who got something in your eyes!"

what the hell.

The magic techniques taught by our predecessors are completely useless!
So embarrassing.

Now Aina wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into and escape from this place that made her so embarrassed that she wanted to die.

fortunately.

Rhodes did not notice anything unusual about her.

He just asked curiously, "Why are you here again? Aren't you afraid that Augla will tie you up again, or have you run out of the food I gave you last time?"

Huh?
That damn big guy isn't here?

At this time.

Aina reacted and looked at the empty altar. As expected, the giant war tree was not there. Her eyes suddenly lit up.

"What are you afraid of?"

She puffed out her chest unyieldingly: "Even if I want to escape, you can't stop me, and the food you gave me last time was so little, it's not enough to eat."

When the topic turned to food, her expression quickly darkened again, and the faces of her tribesmen who had starved to death echoed in her mind.

Then, as if he had made a decision, he suddenly asked in a low voice, "Well... I want to... come to work for you and exchange some food for it. Is that okay with you?"

Perhaps only in front of Rhode could she be so undignified and bow her head for a little food.

After all, I have made a fool of myself once before, so I am not afraid of making a fool of myself a second time.

"Work?"

This time it was Rhodes' turn to be stunned.

Looking up and down at the succubus in front of him with her proud figure, although she does look pleasing to the eyes, they, the dryad clan and the demon clan should not get along well, right?

What on earth is this guy planning?
Rhodes suddenly became alert.

It feels like a good young man being targeted by a thirsty widow.

"Why, can't it?"

Aina raised her head, looked at him, and then quickly turned her head away: "You... don't look at me like this, I have reached the second level after all, and I am not inferior to that big guy in physical work!"

"Are you really at level two?"

Rhodes subconsciously looked at the mean... um, that slender waist, it didn't look like she was one level higher than him.

"I just used the demon clan's talent to hide my aura so that it would be easier to walk on the black soil. Take another look."

Ina knew he didn't believe it.

As she spoke, her expression became serious, as if some seal had been released, and a bloody aura suddenly gushed out from her body.

wow~
The purple wings spread out, covering her graceful and attractive body, making her look even colder and more evil.

There was a hint of charm in her every move, as if the power came from her blood, but the degree of awakening was not very high.

"How is it? Do you believe it now?"

Aina proudly retracted her wings.

"I believe it, I believe it."

Rhode nodded repeatedly, somewhat surprised by her strength. After thinking for a while, he said:
"You can stay here and work, but I still don't trust you completely, so you have to swear on your soul that you won't hurt or destroy anything here."

When he said this, his expression was very serious, and with his ferocious face that was more terrifying than a devil, he actually looked a bit more majestic.

"can."

Without any hesitation, Aina swore on her soul that she would not harm any plant or tree here.

When the oath took effect, Rhode nodded in satisfaction. He learned this trick from Augla.

After all, that guy was often summoned by others using sacrificial arrays. He had seen all kinds of vicious oaths, and the soul oath was only the most basic.

"Come on, I'll take you to see the plantation first, and what you're going to do in the future..."

As his territory continued to expand, Rhodes was in urgent need of help.

In addition, Augla couldn't stay in the woods all the time, so the appearance of Ina just solved his urgent problem.

Otherwise, if we only rely on those little guys who only know how to play and make trouble, we will die of exhaustion and still not be able to finish planting the next batch of seeds.

Looks like I need to trick a few more black slaves... Bah, I need the laborers to come back.

Rhodes introduced the work content while thinking.

But didn't notice.

Aina, who was walking behind him, was silently looking at his profile, her eyes curved into two crescents.

"You are a succubus, the embodiment of lust. If you like someone, you should go for it directly. If the other party doesn't cooperate, you should use force! How can you let your prey escape?"

Uncle Losa's words were still echoing in her ears as she left.

Since it's advice from an old devil, it shouldn't be wrong.

Moreover, Uncle Lothar is indeed an experienced old demon, and many of his fellow succubi like to ask him for advice.

"correct."

Suddenly, Rhodes, who was walking in front, turned around and asked: "Did you encounter the black beast this time?"

“Black beasts?” Aina was stunned. “I have encountered some, but fewer than before. There is a new kind of strange plant in the forest. They seem to be hunting black beasts.”

Her words were filled with disbelief, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

If it weren't for those plants, even if she had a way to hide her breath, she might not be able to arrive here safely.

At the same time, I also couldn't understand why such a big change had happened here in just a few days.

"Could this be the strange plant you're talking about?"

Rhodes pointed to the other end of the altar.

Aina looked up and when she saw the lantern tree planted in the black soil, she was immediately shocked: "That's it! How come you have such a plant here?!"

She looked at the lantern tree, then at Rhodes, and suddenly discovered a serious problem.

The lantern tree in front of her seemed to be bigger than any other tree she had ever seen, and more than twice as big!
"Don't tell me... you planted it..."

"bingo."

Rhode chuckled: "Now you should know how dangerous it is to work for me, right? It's not too late to regret now."

Ina's answer actually brought him very useful information.

It's only been a few days and the lantern trees have spread so far. It looks like we can prepare to explore the druid's lair tomorrow.

"Humph, since I dare to come here, I am not afraid. Don't underestimate the courage of a high-level demon!"

Aina proudly puffed out her chest, looking fearless, but the shock in her eyes still remained.

Because she had seen with her own eyes how this lantern plant hunted black beasts and spread quickly.

Such a horrifying thing was actually grown by the guy in front of me?
"Are all succubi so... courageous?"

Rhode glanced at her, then turned around and took her to find the little guys and introduced them to them one by one.

To prevent it from sneaking up on him next time, as he might think it was the black beast, thus ruining his plan of wishing for a wife.

He doesn't have the kind of friend who would run to your door and shout, "Lao Luo, do you want a wife or not?"

and many more.

Suddenly, Rhodes thought of a question.

In his current condition, should he find a human wife or a tree spirit wife?

If we count based on the inner human soul, we should be looking for humans, right?
But are there any girls in the human race who like him? Are they fans of Fu Rui?

Ok……

This is a question worth further exploration.
