I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 622 The Weight Loss Method Reappears and the Dinner
"you?"

Rhodes couldn't resist pulling Little Bond from behind him to the front.

An elderly father might feel embarrassed when confronted by a budding, immature girl.

Little Bond, however, had absolutely no idea about that.

Her cute little face still had a bright smile as she happily squeezed between Terry and Vivian, nestled in Rhodes' arms.

Rod closed his eyes in anguish and began to clear his mind of distractions.

Terri grinned mischievously.

He secretly slipped his hand inside Rod's clothes and rubbed his index finger on his crotch next to his heart.

She was biting her lower lip, her face full of allure, which was very captivating.

"Of course! A while ago, Tracy taught me a spiritual archery technique that can unleash thunderstorms!"

Little Bond tilted his head back and made a bow-drawing motion.

She pouted and made a whooshing sound, then poked Rod's face with her index finger like an arrow, making herself laugh out loud.

Rod glanced curiously at Tracy, the big squirrel beside him.

She had touched Rod's body earlier, but couldn't stand the electric shock, so she simply sat down and started munching on cookies.

He noticed Rhodes's gaze.

She proudly raised her chubby cheeks: "Don't underestimate the abilities of the Lotatosk gray squirrel, Mr. Rhodes. I am far more knowledgeable than you think!"

Bond laughed and exposed her: "She found it in the ruins of the Tree Realm, she's lying again."

talking.

She was stunned for a moment, feeling something pressing against her stomach. Just as she was about to look down, Rod pulled her away.

"Bond! You promised not to tell anyone!"

"Rhodes isn't just anyone~"

"Well, that's certainly true for you."

Speaking of the Tree Realm, Rhodes couldn't help but ask, "Tracy, are you sure you can go back without your companions?"

"I will go back, but only after I have successfully lost weight."

"."

I glanced at the increasingly large swimming ring around the squirrel's waist.

Rhodes suddenly felt that he also bore some responsibility.

"Do you need me to reduce your allowance a bit? Tracy, you are indeed a little too fat."

"No need, no need, I've already found a new way to lose weight."

Trish, hands on her hips, proudly proclaimed, "The weight loss guru from Quartz Town told me about the 16+8 diet!"

"Complete your daily meals within 8 hours, and you need to fast for 16 hours? That's not recommended. You can train with me or Cecilia."

"Of course not, how could that be? Let Tracy tell you a thing or two: it's impossible to finish eating in 8 hours."

".?"

"16+8 means eating eight meals within 16 hours, spreading out the calories consumed for weight loss! Amazing, right!?"

Rhodes remained silent for a moment.

Look at Terry.

"Go break that weight loss sorcerer's legs."

"Okay~~"

After a short break.

The girls resumed their tree-planting routine.

Without any disturbances, Rhodes quickly mastered the [Lightning Strike Tendon].

He planned to have the Harpy chieftain from Eagle Claw Canyon take over the rest of the time.

Bond?

She can't.

Rod glanced over instinctively and saw that the little horse girl's face was flushed and she was peeking at his crotch.

"."

It seems that Xiao Ke needs to provide her with some health education.
After a victory, the forest inevitably throws a small celebration. However, there are still recruits in Quartz Town, so it's not appropriate to unleash a close-range attack.

A few days later, after the participants, including the Shadow Wind leader Eve and the Tooth Fairy Rosalia, had recovered from their injuries, they secretly held a bonfire dinner at Coral Bay Manor.

Two ladies also arrived discreetly.

I was speechless when I arrived at the scene.

It was a scene of overwhelming female dominance; apart from a few exquisitely crafted 'auction items' boys whose genders were difficult to discern, Rhodes was the only adult man present.

But thankfully, the presence of these rescued children keeps the place lively and bustling.

Otherwise, they would have all thought this was the ranger's silver party dinner.

From afar, a wisp of white smoke could be seen rising from within the magical barrier that provided shelter from the rain.

The forest ranger was busy flipping the roasted meat and brushing it with sauce.

In this kind of cold, rainy weather, hot meat dishes are always very popular.

So much so that the man was surrounded by girls of all races, their eyes sparkling with admiration, led by Bond the pony and Tracy the squirrel.

The older ones were too embarrassed to compete with them, so they took the initiative to grill the meat.

But no matter how delicious it was, the number of onlookers was always far less than Rod's.

Other forest companions, perhaps.

Some, like zombie Selena and vampire Vanessa, sat together in twos and threes chatting.

Some of them, like the female orc Amy, the dog-man Sharon, and the witch Demia, played with the girls they had rescued.

Some, like the half-deer Xiao Ke and the tree spirit Vivian, sat in a corner, huddled together, resting.

Some, like the elf Calliste, the spider elf Yuna, and the halfling Lily, help prepare light-flavored dishes.

of course.

There are also troublemakers like Penny the ghoul and Chris the banshee.

The former means well but does bad things, tripping and falling here and there, while the latter doesn't follow the right path, always wanting to make a name for themselves, resulting in chaos.

Eve wasn't very familiar with them and felt a little awkward.

Then Rosalia and I went to greet Rhodes.

"Coming soon, just a moment."

"Let me help."

Rosalia rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and smooth arms.

The side effects of the large-scale insectization have subsided.

After thinking for a moment, the group leader, Eve, decided not to help. Instead, she took a plate and waited for food with a group of girls.

It took quite a while before we were given a piece of meat.

She couldn't help but ask:
"What does Mr. Rhodes intend to do about that new type of crystallization disease?"

"Naturally, it should be handed over to a familiar mage to analyze and study the effectiveness of the vaccine in advance. Who knows which research lab in the Church of Igor will produce results this time?"

Rhodes glanced at her and smiled. "What? You want to hand it over to your Minister Marco?"

During their previous conversation, the two briefly discussed this figure who was on the front lines of the resistance against the Ego Cult within the Kingdom of Atheron.

Eve was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"Knowing the purpose of the Ego Cult will allow us to act with purpose. The next step is the confrontation above. The Ego Cult's influence in Radiant City is too deep. If it is exposed immediately, we may be in danger of being wiped out."

"Whatever you want, we have things to do here too."

In addition to spreading the true goals of the Ego Cult, Carter will also work with the Alliance of Heroes to secretly investigate the Ego Cult's strongholds and research institutes in various locations.

Every single one of them, when Rod comes to their door, it will be a case of destruction and murder.

It is a bit of a hassle.

But he can't just go straight to Radiant City and start killing, can he?
The Kingdom of Aetheron still has three thousand nails on its wrecked ship. Not to mention the guardian magic circle, there are a lot of mages specializing in defense and damage, such as domain mages and legendary mages. Then send seven or eight ninth-tier mages to surround it.

This is not a joke.

Eve frowned slightly, but then shook her head.

As a member of the regular army, she clearly didn't approve of the nature of this underground resistance movement, but that didn't preclude cooperation.

"I hope we can stay in touch and help each other."
