“I really don’t want any more weird plot developments. I want a western fantasy leveling-up story, not some kind of perverted X-Tang plot!”
In Merlin’s chaotic mind, all he could hear was Ange’s inner voice.
But at this moment, he couldn’t understand what the other’s thoughts meant at all. He only felt that Ange carried a strange, alluring fragrance that tempted him to draw closer. He was now acting entirely on instinct, his mind filled with nothing but Ange, completely unaware of what his body was doing.
Ange’s scalp was about to explode. The moment Merlin lunged at him, he finally remembered that he was still holding his staff, and immediately cast a spell.
Of course, he couldn’t use the third-level spell Vine Rampage if he did, Merlin would very likely end up dead.
So Ange cast the second-level spell Vine Entanglement. Vines suddenly burst forth and bound the other’s entire body tightly in an instant, hoisting him directly into midair where he couldn’t move at all. Only that completely wrong-looking face was left exposed, staring at him with longing.
Seeing this, Ange let out a complete sigh of relief. He quickly stepped forward and snatched the staff from Merlin’s hand, just in case the other tried to cast a counter-spell and escape, which would spell trouble for him.
How did things end up like this?!
Merlin didn’t care at all that his staff had been taken. His gaze was fixed firmly on Ange, staring at him until his hairs stood on end.
But what Ange didn’t expect was that because he’d focused all his attention on Merlin, the levitation spell he’d cast on the fluffball had dissipated, causing it to go splat as it hit the ground.
However, the violent rustling of the rapidly growing vines perfectly concealed the sound of it landing. By the time Ange realized what had happened, the fluffball had already climbed up the vines and onto Merlin’s body!
This scared Ange so badly that cold sweat broke out all over him: “You’ve got to be kidding me, I just defended my own chastity, and now I have to defend William’s chastity too!”
This fluffball was unbelievably fast. Fortunately, Ange’s reaction speed was quick enough he had the vines wrap around the fluffball as well. Otherwise, it probably would have already leaped onto Merlin’s face.
One person and one ball were now both suspended in midair. Both of these creatures were clearly not right in the head, but why did he himself seem to be completely unaffected?
His wildly pounding heart finally calmed down a little. Looking at these two, Ange felt like he was at his wit’s end. What was he supposed to do now?
“Ange, why have you tied me up?” Merlin’s voice carried a strange quality to it that made Ange’s heart flutter just from hearing him speak.
“Wait, something’s off about the way he’s talking! I’ve got it is this seduction?”
The moment this thought surfaced, Ange was about to lose it again. He recalled the other’s seductive panting from last night.
Ange frantically shook his head, trying to toss all those blushing, heart-racing thoughts out of his mind. But when he looked back at Merlin, he saw the other’s body writhing as he began to struggle.
Wait it was only then that Ange suddenly realized with a chill what was wrong.
“Something’s off about this binding method, How did I subconsciously tie William up in such a… suggestive way with these vines? Ahahahaha…”
Angel was now utterly embarrassed. If the other party woke up and discovered what had happened, wouldn’t he be completely done for?
Wait, no! Angel quickly realized that William had fallen in love with him at first sight he was a yandere freak, so he might actually be thrilled about it.
The moment that thought crossed his mind, Angel shuddered. It was all because he’d been exposed to too much impure content in his past life otherwise, how would he even know that kind of binding technique?
Angel hastily waved his staff, making the vines shift positions into a normal binding method.
What mattered most now was rescuing both of these guys! Angel forced all those messy thoughts out of his head and began to sort out his thinking.
Although he didn’t know why he seemed completely unaffected, since both the man and the ball had fallen victim, he still needed to get them away from this dangerous place!
But this plant looked quite valuable for research. Angel stroked his chin. Sure, the aphrodisiac effect was a bit strange it had actually made a magical beast court a human, but if he wanted to crossbreed different magical beasts to create strange new varieties, this mushroom seemed like it could be quite useful.
So Angel prepared himself, took out a small box specifically for storing magical plants, held his breath, and dashed over there quickly.
Angel carefully picked the mushrooms, which looked somewhat similar to bamboo fungus, and placed them into the box with his own hands. Finally, he closed the lid and stuffed it into his pocket, then used his staff to cast a full-body cleaning spell on himself before running back.
After doing all that, Angel waved his staff and used vines to carry the two bound individuals away from that place likely filled with spores. Only after running about a hundred meters did he cast cleaning magic on himself and the other two, thoroughly eliminating any nasty spores that might have been clinging to them.
This cleaning magic didn’t just fling the dirt off their bodies, it used magic to completely shatter everything into nothing, so there was no worry about spores being removed only to drift back again.
But looking at Merlin, who kept squirming, and then at the furball, who was still twisting its head toward Merlin even while bound, Angel stroked his chin.
Hmm, he wondered if the detoxifying mushrooms he’d recently developed would have any effect on this kind of problem.
Anyway, eating them wasn’t poisonous, Angel thought to himself.
Otherwise, he truly had no method on hand to cure this condition.
If he just carried Merlin straight out of the forest like this, Angel dared to believe that even if the other party liked him, having his embarrassing state seen by countless people would make him fly into a rage and challenge Angel to a duel.
So Angel rummaged around left and right and pulled out a fresh mushroom.
This mushroom looked completely ordinary, just like the oyster mushrooms he used to eat daily in his past life. In this world, it was actually also called an oyster mushroom, but Angel had developed a new use for it the paper about this mushroom had already been submitted for review, though he didn’t know if it would be approved for publication in a professional journal.
This modified mushroom was called a detoxifying mushroom by Angel. Its function was simple: it detoxified people. Eating this mushroom could completely resolve most low-level poisons.
Angel walked straight over to Merlin and stuffed the mushroom in his hand into Merlin’s mouth, whose face was flushed bright red.
Just as Angel was about to pull his hand back, he felt a lick on his fingers.
Angel:
Merlin slowly chewed the mushroom, his eyes filled with desire as he gazed at Angel. Those blue eyes seemed to carry hooks, and his crimson tongue lightly glided across the back of Angel’s fingers.
