“Speak!
Little Nun!”
“Where did you hear the name ‘Elna of Fushan’?”
Kariel pinched Loran’s chin, forcing her to look up at her.
Loran was dazed by the magical pressure and stammered, unable to say anything.
Could she really say that she had seen it in a walkthrough?
She already felt like she was finished.
The best possible outcome would be getting locked in a dark, windowless basement.
Weeping as she gave birth to one little succubus after another.
“Damn veteran players, bullying a twelve-minute newbie like me, using deception and sneak attacks!”
“What kind of bullshit is this walkthrough!”
She could only curse violently in her heart while maintaining a pitiful and aggrieved look on the outside.
“I…
I don’t know.
A masked man told me I could sell potions here.”
“I—I really just wanted to make some money, that’s all.”
Kariel narrowed her eyes, her seductive pink pupils filled with a dangerous glint.
After an unknown amount of time.
Kariel seemed to have made a decision.
She retracted the chains binding Loran and released the magical pressure.
“Cough, cough…”
Feeling the magical pressure lift.
Loran immediately slumped over the counter, gasping for air.
She was truly scared now, especially since the walkthrough from Earth had actually failed.
This succubus even knew her identity.
This meant she had been watching her, and it might even be related to the Fifth Prince.
At this thought, Loran forced her weak body to move and jumped down from the bar stool.
She was ready to run, even abandoning the potions.
“Hehe, I must survive.”
Loran tried her best to move her short legs, but she found her little leather shoes treading on thin air.
Kariel had already grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up.
Then she placed her back on the seat.
Kariel was a 1.8-meter tall mature woman; lifting the barely 1.6-meter Loran was simply too easy.
She gracefully returned behind the counter and, looking at the trembling Loran, spoke:
“Relax, Little Nun.
That was just a test.”
How could Loran believe that?
She shrank back as far as she could.
Kariel shrugged and simply changed the subject, pointing to the potions in the box.
“I’ll offer 12 gold coins per bottle for your potions.”
“That’s two gold coins higher than the market price for [strengthener].”
“Eh?”
Loran looked up in surprise.
The red-haired woman before her had returned to her lazy state, as if everything just now had been an illusion.
“Why the surprise?
Since you know the code, didn’t you come here to sell potions?”
“I was indeed testing you just now, to prevent the Inspection Team from fishing.”
“As for the code…
I don’t care where you got it.
If you dare to sell, I dare to buy.”
Kariel continued to fiddle with the test tube in her hand, watching the pink liquid flowing inside.
“However…
is the potion you provided really a [strengthener]?”
“You see, the main ingredient of the [strengthener] on the market is the body parts of male green-skinned Goblins.”
“Therefore, every bottle of that potion is dark green.”
“That is also why its circulation is prohibited on the market.”
Loran hadn’t even reacted to the sudden change before her attention was grabbed by the offer, and she nodded hurriedly.
“I guarantee this is a [strengthener], and its effects are even better.”
“Oh?
How are you going to prove it?”
Loran was about to answer when she met Kariel’s highly aggressive gaze.
The other woman looked at her teasingly and even licked her lips.
“Was…
was she being flirted with?”
Fearing that the succubus would grab her to test the potion, Loran quickly looked away, avoiding Kariel’s gaze.
Seeing this, Kariel shrugged and turned her gaze back to the potion.
She opened the potion’s cork and dipped a finger into the liquid.
Immediately, a magical glow flickered at her fingertip.
[Potion Perception]
A beginner-level spell with a learning difficulty comparable to intermediate spells.
Its function was to roughly determine the effects of a potion.
A minute later, Kariel nodded, approving Loran’s potion.
“Not bad.
Although the color is different, it is indeed a [strengthener].”
“It doesn’t even have any side effects, and the strengthening effect is more comprehensive.”
“To be honest, this can already be considered a new type of potion.
What is its name?”
Kariel’s face turned slightly red, and her pink eyes seemed to ignite with the flames of desire, making Loran feel dazed for a moment.
“The…
The Vigorous Potion.”
Loran replied subconsciously, then suddenly snapped back to her senses.
“You…
Are you using Charm on me?!”
“Giggle.” Kariel let out a light laugh, tilting her head as she sized up Loran.
“A new type of potion~” she drawled with a smile.
“Little Nun, if I were you, I wouldn’t be so foolish as to come here and hawk this kind of potion.”
“If I wanted to, you would be locked up immediately.”
“Using all sorts of methods to torture the potion recipe out of you, then having you brew potions for me every day.”
Loran bit her lip.
“Since you’ve said that, you don’t actually want to lock me up, right?”
Kariel was somewhat surprised and nodded in appreciation.
“Of course, of course.”
“Little Nun, you are very interesting, and I am a person of principle.”
“As compensation for my earlier offense, I am willing to buy your potions at a price of 15 gold coins per bottle.”
“Furthermore, if you have similar good stuff in the future, you can sell it to me as well.
“The price will satisfy you.”
Kariel spoke lightheartedly.
Without even putting the cork back in the test tube, she tilted her head back and drank it.
“Oh~ Just as I expected, it really is high-quality stuff.”
As the potion went down her throat, there wasn’t even a hint of bitterness.
The smooth texture was like drinking peach juice with milk.
The effects were also extremely mild, causing her lower body and tail to gradually fill with strength.
The heart-shaped tail behind her wagged happily, as if it had been injected with adrenaline.
She flashed a charming smile and praised.
“Unbelievable, that there could be such a delicious potion in the world.
Little Nun~ you really are quite miraculous~”
Though she was just a small pawn chosen at random, she seemed to be hiding a very big secret.
Kariel did not say the second half out loud.
Instead, she took a bag of clinking gold coins out of thin air and pushed it toward Loran.
As for the wooden box with the remaining four tubes of Vigorous Potion, she put it away.
Seeing the bulging coin purse, Loran’s eyes lit up.
“Thank you for your business!
Boss, you’re so generous!
Boss, FUCK You!”
Then she reached out her little paws, grabbed the coin purse, and pulled it toward herself.
It didn’t budge…
Loran’s smile froze a bit, and she looked up in confusion at Kariel, who was holding down the coin purse.
Kariel’s face was flushed pink, looking like she was drunk or in heat—beautiful and seductive.
Like a ripe peach.
Her soft red lips moved, but the warm breath she exhaled made Loran feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
“Giggle, Little Nun, don’t be in such a hurry.”
“The transaction is complete, but…”
“You wouldn’t want the Church to find out about you secretly selling illegal potions, would you?”
“Future Little Saintess?”
…
On the way home, Loran worked hard to wipe her neck with her small hands.
It was densely covered with over a dozen lip prints.
There was still peach-flavored lipstick remaining on her lips.
“That damn succubus, she’s practically like a dog.”
Loran grumbled, her little face flushed red.
That bastard Kariel didn’t just kiss her everywhere; she even snuck in a few pinches.
How could she, a transmigrator who had been a single dog for twenty years, withstand this?
If she didn’t run away now, she feared she wouldn’t even make it to the debt default.
She would lose her “first blood” before then.
If she were the one on the offensive, it would be fine, but that succubus…
Her tail had already wrapped around Loran’s waist!
It even tried to reach toward her lower belly!
If she hadn’t given her a 10-gold-coin tip, she would have turned hostile no matter what!
The cold night wind blew, and Loran tightened her grayish-black cloak, walking briskly toward the church.
After she left, a sneaky figure walked into Kariel’s cafe.
