“Ugh… mm～ so comfortable, thank you, Master.”
“Please, can you stop making sounds that cause misunderstandings? I was just sucking on a finger.”
Miss Succubus, no, Lilith-san, had already been an employee of the Dungeon for a day.
Because her food requirements were different from the others, Su Yao always had to feed her separately before meals.
Like this—just inserting a limb into her mouth and then having her absorb the magical energy was enough.
From the feeling, her body temperature was slightly lower than a human’s. The cool saliva-coated fingertips were teased by her tongue, and occasionally there was a suction sensation coming through the skin.
She was only sucking on a finger! There’s nothing strange coming out except magical energy, okay?
Next time, I’ll let her eat ice cream… no, that won’t work either. Whatever she does, it always seems so dry and astringent!
“I’m full now, thank you for the meal.”
The moment the finger was released, Clorel immediately shoved Su Yao’s hand into the water and scrubbed it vigorously.
Really, such an exaggerated reaction.
“All right, please stay in the room and behave yourself. I’m going out with the others. We’ll be back by sunset tomorrow. If you get hungry, I permit you to vent your frustrations on anyone inside the Dungeon.”
“Lilith will stay in the room obediently, waiting for Master’s return. Please rest assured.”
Su Yao nodded, then left the room with Sofia and Clorel. They teleported directly to the Dungeon Entrance Central Hall.
For demons, “Contracts” are binding. Since Lilith said she would stay in the room, she definitely wouldn’t go out again.
Compared to other humans, the magical energy from the blonde loli was irresistibly attractive to her.
Although it was a pity she couldn’t enjoy it mixed with bodily fluids, the magic energy Su Yao provided not only filled her stomach but also helped her improve her abilities.
It was like someone used to fine delicacies being asked to eat an ordinary Little Eight Special Burger—would they willingly do so?
Beautiful appearance, hot figure, obedient and docile—this kind of “human resource” was simply perfect.
Too bad Su Yao probably wouldn’t summon a second one. Joking aside, if he had to feed another succubus every day, he might just be drained dry.
The Dungeon could restore her magical energy, but it was still slower than what a succubus could absorb.
Summoning humanoid intelligent monsters to expand manpower definitely had significant drawbacks.
“Clorel, do you think it’s better to summon another ‘Vampire’ or buy some slaves from the black market? Both options seem risky.”
When undecided, it’s best to brainstorm. After all, if Clorel wanted to establish a foothold here, she’d have to find ways to increase her manpower sooner or later.
Having money but no people wouldn’t do.
Could it be that she was just looking for an excuse to stay without thinking about anything else?
Although she felt a bit happy, she was also troubled—wasn’t she still dragged onto this sinking ship?
“Go to the black market. Didn’t you summon Lilith for the succubus’ ‘Hypnosis’ and ‘Psychological Suggestion’ abilities?”
“Y-Yes, you figured that out? As expected of Clorel.”
That was close—she almost let Clorel find out she summoned the succubus just out of curiosity. How come she hadn’t realized Lilith had such uses?
Is she really that clever?
“If possible, I’d prefer you use other methods. But since you don’t understand humans well, it’s safer to use Lilith’s abilities.”
“Is that so? Then we’ll keep Lilith’s abilities as a trump card for now. I can try the other methods you mentioned.”
Clorel was unexpectedly considerate. But who said she didn’t understand humans? Maybe she couldn’t grasp perverted minds, but she could still guess normal human psychology.
Still, Lilith’s abilities would definitely be used. For example, there was probably no easier way to conduct “Lie Detection” than using her powers.
It was a bit early to talk about that now—they first needed to get to Moravia.
The meeting date with Silvie, the generous benefactor, was tomorrow. She had mentioned she’d try to help Su Yao secure the “Land Use Rights” near the Dungeon.
Now, her long-cherished above-ground big House might soon be ready to start construction.
Maybe she could even develop some real estate nearby—after all, watching adventurers travel back and forth between Moravia and the Dungeon made her feel it was hard on them.
As for rent, good deeds deserve good rewards, don’t they?
Perhaps her Dungeon would become the third human settlement after the Theocracy Holy City Athens and Dwarf King City Salsor.
Countless DP and Gold Coins were beckoning her—weren’t the good days finally coming?
“Miss Su Yao, Clorel, stop for a moment!”
The blonde loli, lost in daydreams, was suddenly stopped. Judging by Sofia’s expression, there was probably something troublesome ahead.
“What is it, Sofia?”
“There seem to be many people ahead. Although somewhat scattered, they’re clearly in formation—possibly an army.”
After she spoke, Su Yao activated “Magic Energy Perception.”
Indeed, there were many people ahead, loosely forming a long line. Sofia’s assessment seemed correct.
This dim forest path branched off from the main road at Moravia’s northern gate. Its only destination was Su Yao’s Dungeon.
These people were heading straight for her Dungeon.
The white-haired, red-eyed beautiful girl closed her eyes, seemingly sensing the specific situation of the army.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes—no, rather, she widened them in a look both surprised and angry.
It was the first time Su Yao had seen her express such an emotion.
“Let’s return to the Dungeon first. This group hasn’t noticed us yet, and their intentions are unclear. Even if this army plans to attack the Dungeon, meeting them here isn’t wise.”
“Understood.”
As a trained knight and Clorel’s Guard Captain, Sofia wouldn’t easily let emotions affect her rationality and judgment.
Su Yao was curious about what she had sensed. Her own “Minimap” showed only a bit over two hundred people.
The “Red Dots” were scattered, unevenly sized. Maybe Sofia had some acquaintances in that group.
“Sofia, are they enemies?”
Really a headache. To be honest, Su Yao had some idea why the Dungeon was being watched.
Producing nearly a hundred weapons a week, it was strange if nobody was targeting them.
He had planned to switch the rewards to armor materials of similar value eventually, but hadn’t expected them to come so soon.
No, as long as the treasure chests kept producing valuable items, this kind of trouble was inevitable.
Well, since they’ve come, might as well make them pay a heavy price with nothing to show for it.
Once they lose money, no one will do business like this anymore.
While thinking, the earlier question was answered. Sofia calmed down and nodded, her tone icy as she called out the name of the “acquaintance,”
“Betrayer, Bald.”
