Why can't humans do it too?

Finally realizing what the water flowing directly over his body meant, Suer's breathing became rapid.

Would this woman gouge out his eyes because of his accidental exposure?

Why is she here anyway? Was she the one who took off my clothes...? It must be her!

The overwhelming amount of information was bombarding Suer's brain, making it impossible for him to utter a coherent sentence.

"Huh? Why aren't you saying a word? You should be happy to have survived, right?" Xin Ke's voice kept coming from the other side. Compared to the panicked Su Er, this woman was as calm as if she were at home.

"Congratulations~, to be honest, even I didn't expect to actually get here..." Xin Ke's voice gradually lowered.

"...Wait a minute! Why bring up such a serious topic under these circumstances?!" Suer finally couldn't help but interrupt Xinke and shouted uncontrollably.

Yes, he had recalled what had happened before, even though he couldn't remember most of the details. However, the warmth and comfort he felt now meant that his perseverance had been successful, and he was even cheering in his heart for his feat. But shouldn't the naked confrontation in front of him be explained more than this joy?

What happened before he woke up?

"This situation?" Tilting her head in confusion, Xin Ke belatedly realized what had excited Su Er so much. "Ah~, is that what it is? Mr. Monkey's clothes were covered in blood, so he took them off to make treatment easier~"

The woman effortlessly defused the current complicated situation with a single sentence.

"that's all?!!"

Suer's doubts not only remained unresolved, but actually multiplied.

More importantly?! Why are you here too?!

No one knew what herbs the woman had added to the pool, but at that moment, Suer felt full of power—he felt incredibly energetic.

"Huh? What else do you want?" Xin Ke's expression and tone quickly became impatient, but then she realized something. "Could Mr. Monkey be having some strange reaction?"

He chuckled mockingly, and out of the corner of his eye, Su Er saw the woman even sit up, constantly craning her neck to look in his direction…

You're some kind of hooligan from somewhere!

Unsure if he was blushing or not, Su Er felt a burning sensation from the side of his face to behind his ears. He reflexively covered his genitals with both hands underwater, but then he realized something was wrong—wait a minute! Why didn't Xin Ke, a woman, have such a strong reaction? What was he, a grown man, afraid of?!

"...Would the great Miss Nirbalen be so curious about the bodies of monkeys?"

It was practically a case of gritting his teeth. Suer forcibly moved his hands away, adopting a fearless stance, like a gangster boss spreading his arms and resting them on the edge of the pool.

Look! If you like watching, then watch it properly! Let's see what kind of flower you can come up with!

"Pfft," Xin Ke couldn't help but burst out laughing at Su Er's fearless performance as if he were facing a knife and axe. The forest elf even laughed so hard that he was shaking, and something was trembling incessantly. Su Er rolled his eyes at his unrestrained appearance.

Compared to Suer's forced nonchalance, Xin Ke's every word and action naturally revealed that this woman truly had no sense of shame whatsoever.

Suer felt his blood pressure rising.

"Has the great Miss Nirbalen lost all her manners and sense of shame as an intellectual race?!" Sur could only roll her eyes at Xinke, wanting to help this woman recall something that might not even exist.

Chapter 125 Be careful of the forest spirit seed

"Huh? Surprisingly, Mr. Monkey is just as skilled at distorting the facts as my people."

She sat back down, even taking pity on herself and hiding her impressive features beneath the semi-transparent water. Although it was still an unfortunate situation where one could clearly see them if they looked closely, at least Suer was able to keep all her attention focused on Xin Ke's nose, avoiding a direct confrontation with the devastating impact.

"Who is it that truly considers themselves intellectual yet lacks manners and a sense of shame?" With one arm propped against the edge of the pool, Xin Ke glanced meaningfully towards the underwater area near Su Er...

“Compared to me, who doesn’t react at all, Mr. Monkey’s body is far too honest~” Xin Ke added fuel to the fire of Su Er’s dwindling rationality with a smile. “Oh dear~, can you stand on your high place and look down on me with such confidence?”

Okay, you don't need to say anything more.

Completely outmatched, Suer silently withdrew his outstretched arms and bent his legs, trying to curl himself into a ball.

Lost, completely lost.

He can't even compare to this woman in terms of shamelessness.

With a sense of utter despair, Suer rested his forehead on his knees and chose to attack in a state of complete isolation.

"Ah~, it's such a pity we can't use magic~," Xin Ke suddenly sighed deeply. "Otherwise, I could have used magic to turn Mr. Monkey into Ms. Monkey in an instant~"

? ? ? ! ! !

What the hell is this woman talking about?!

"By the way~, the gentle and considerate Lady Xinke can also reluctantly summon some mysterious tentacles from another world that secrete a mysterious aphrodisiac fluid to deflower the newly promoted Monkey Miss~"

???

"Don't go too far!" Su Eryi raised his head and shouted angrily. He was fine with not saying anything, but this woman was getting more and more outrageous. How could this be reasonable?

He'd only seen a few episodes of this story on some pink-themed app before he transmigrated. And why was this woman describing it so fluently?!

What the hell do the Forest Elves do all day when they're not fighting?

It's certainly a good thing that magic hasn't been used in war this time, but what's the difference between using it for this kind of thing and before?! Go and use it to benefit the masses, you bastard!

He was awake now, his mind was very clear, and the lifeless feeling he had when he first woke up was completely gone. Suer's chest and lungs were rising and falling rapidly.

Blood pressure! His blood pressure!

"Hmm~, that's the right reaction now~", completely unfazed by Suer's imposing manner, Xin Ke nodded in satisfaction. "You barely escaped with your life, that listless reaction was just too embarrassing. Mr. Monkey, who made history, can be a little more confident~"

“…Thank you,” she muttered weakly. Regardless of whether the woman’s explanation was true or not, Suer felt not the confidence she was talking about in making history, but rather a stronger sense of helplessness.

"Ah~, I accept your thanks, but really don't you want to reconsider becoming Miss Monkey?" Seemingly oblivious to Suer's sarcasm, Xin Ke's eyes even lit up, and she leaned forward slightly as she spoke.

"...I've been putting up with you for so long! You've been constantly touching me with those tentacles ever since, does the great Miss Neil Balen really love touching things like that?!"

Suer's words suddenly stopped. He seemed to understand something vaguely—the lifespan of forest elves is extremely long, and in this long life, it seems... not impossible that they would do something to relieve loneliness and boredom and seek excitement!

That's terrifying, immortal beings and all that... are they really going to go to such lengths?

"Mr. Monkey, have you thought of something rude?" Xin Ke asked, tilting her head as her smile suddenly vanished.

There is murderous intent.

A cool sensation rose from Suer's tailbone, which had been soaked in hot water.

He had to shake his head immediately.

"While it's true that quite a few forest elves have used otherworldly creatures in private, it's all within safe and controllable limits. I only looked at other people's research reports out of curiosity..."

Ah, no, well... I haven't even stated what the problem is yet, have I?

With a blank expression, Su Er watched as Xin Ke nodded repeatedly, explaining something. He wanted to tell her what a Soviet joke was, but in case this woman actually turned him into a woman after her spellcasting ability returned... he decided against it.

"...Do you understand what I'm saying?" Xin Ke's explanation seemed to be coming to an end, and she was looking into Su Er's eyes.

He had to nod immediately.

But since it's mentioned that her spellcasting ability hasn't been restored, does that mean the lock is still on her ankle?

"I couldn't find a way to remove that lock here?" Su'er's gaze slid down unconsciously, but bounced back at lightning speed after touching something indescribable.

“I did find it, but I don’t have any Pokémon to activate it. What you see now are either facilities that were left in place during the attack and have continued to exist since, or things that don’t require Pokémon to activate… Seriously, why don’t you consider it? It’s rare for me to be this gentle and easy to talk to. If you want to seize the opportunity, do it now.”

Xin Ke tapped her chin lightly with her fingers. Just a second ago she was talking about a very serious topic, but the next second she suddenly changed the subject, so abruptly that Su Er didn't even have time to react.

"...Don't insult the word 'gentle'," Su Er muttered speechlessly, then sighed deeply. "And why are you so insistent on changing my gender? My gender has absolutely no impact on you, right?"

"Oh~, of course they're different~", Xin Ke shook her head, unusually serious, but her words were anything but serious. "Although Mr. Monkey is quite handsome~, cute boys are naturally not as pleasing to the eye as cute girls~"

"Since we're partners, it's naturally better to be more comfortable~"

...You actually still remember this?

“I’m sorry, but this is the only thing I absolutely refuse,” Suer said, rolling her eyes. She had never refused so seriously before.

He was really scared.

If he doesn't firmly refuse, he's really afraid that one morning he'll wake up to find he's lost his beloved chicken—no, he might never see this woman again either.

Hasn't the agreement already been fulfilled?

As for the so-called partner, it's probably just a sudden whim of an immortal being when she's bored, a momentary entertainment. If she doesn't respond, she'll probably forget about it soon.

"When will the forest elves that will rescue you arrive?" Suer asked, splashing water a few times.

Chapter 126 Healing and Beauty

"I don't know~", Xin Ke shook her head and replied, "Didn't I already say? I don't have any elves to activate it. Although I did deliberately trigger some spells to activate the alert connection with Merwall, it's completely unknown whether my poor people will take such an anomaly seriously~"

Doesn't that mean whether or not someone will come depends entirely on how serious the bureaucracy is on the Mori-sei side?

Having understood Xin Ke's words, but considering that they were still in the midst of war, Su Er still had a little confidence in the Forest Elves' reaction.

"Hmm, if they send troops here as soon as they notice the unusual activity here, how long would it take them to arrive?"

"It should only take about three days, but considering that this is just an abandoned city, as part of the outer perimeter, I wouldn't be surprised if it took three or four times longer."

Seeing Suer's obvious disappointment, Xin Ke said with a smile, "There's no need to be discouraged. Someone should come here. After all, according to my memory, the city's defenses have been deliberately breached by a mischievous Skywing. However, when I went to check earlier, I found that other Forest Elves had redeployed counterattack traps here."

"You've already explored the whole place?" Suer looked around in surprise. Just from the tall domes and the continuous tree-like buildings, one could tell that the city was quite large.

"How is that possible? In my current state, just dragging Mr. Monkey here to this medical retreat was already a struggle," Xin Ke sighed, shaking her head. "What a heavy body I am..."

Suer was momentarily embarrassed.

Every time he thought of Xin Ke's charred thigh, his mood became extremely heavy.

"Can't the water in this pool heal your injuries?" Su'er asked curiously, scooping up a handful of water.
