After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"Eight-tailed fox... what are you doing to my little fox? Get away from me right now!!!!"

"Hmph, it's just a little fox, what's so cute about it? Why does Master Elusia like her so much..."

Candel looked at Lonnies, who was resting on a recliner with Elusia, and her face was full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

In fact, she had tried to fawn over her master, Elusia, and even succumbed to pressing her cheek against her ankle.

but……

But they didn't receive the same treatment as Lonnie.

The master didn't even put a fox tail on him, nor did he touch his little head... He just impatiently told him to go play with his sister Cecily.

"Damn it, so damn it!"

So, looking at the little fox, Candel grew increasingly angry.

Candel is a very cunning girl, ever since she was the leader of the demon race.

Be vengeful! Those boys who hurt you should be made to become girls, and those girls who hurt you should be made to have big friends!

and so……

"Hmph, little fox, just you wait! I'm going to use a camera to record your shameful state right now."

Candel clenched her fist, laughing excitedly: "Then, I'll use that to blackmail you, making you my sex slave~~~ If you don't obey, I'll post it online, hahaha, let's see if you can be so arrogant~~"

And that's how things turned out.

Although Lonnies' sudden transformation into a little fox was completely unexpected by everyone.

But...

Since Lonnies was essentially a mascot, people weren't too surprised and accepted it easily.

What's more, Lornish is absolutely adorable right now.

When you stroke her little head, she will happily make whimpering sounds.

When you offer her a small treat, she squints her eyes and shows a very happy expression.

No matter when, that big silver-white tail was always wagging back and forth, looking incredibly fluffy.

Especially when Elusia tied her up in the bathroom, she didn't even need to deliberately wash her hands with a towel!

Ok……

In short, because Lonnie herself saw herself as a fox, she felt no shame or resistance whatsoever, and the entire ship was filled with a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

Everyone was highly efficient and almost all of them were completely focused on their work.

but……

Just as joyful times always pass too quickly.

After two days of sailing, the ship reached the vicinity of the underground forest that Luo Zhisheng had mentioned.

When they were rescuing the girls, the Time Traveler was attacked by strange plants in this very area... Although it's okay to leave this area alone now, Elusia feels that this area might be hiding some unspeakable secret.

and so……

"Everyone, get ready, we're going to explore this forest."

Elusia said this to her companions.

Chapter 32 Attack on the Underground Forest

For Elusia, it was a good thing that Lonnies had become a little pet.

Because at least now, he can safely put her in the boat and keep her out of danger.

The exploration team this time consists of five people: Elcia, Cecilu, Baiye, Candel, and Luozhisheng.

Senior Yicheng was left on the ship because Elcia was worried that something unexpected might happen.

Moreover, if Senior Sister Yicheng stays in the cockpit, she can not only protect her companions on the ship, but also provide immediate support if the exploration team is attacked.

"Woof meow, woof woof!"

"Alright, alright, Lonnie, be good... I'll be back soon. You stay on the ship and play with Su Ling and the others."

"Waaah..."

"Everyone, we're about to set off."

This is a dense, dark underground forest.

Every tree bark was black, and the purple leaves had dark red veins. But the ground was pitted and covered with rough stones.

"These plants... are so strange..."

Cecily frowned in confusion. As a princess, she had a deep love for plants. The feeling of being surrounded by nature brought her only tranquility and peace.

But at this moment, she felt an indescribable chill, as if these dark trees were not just plants, but malicious humans—they were watching your body, watching every vulnerable part of you, waiting for you to relax before launching a surprise attack.

Moreover, the deeper one goes into the forest, the stranger the shapes of these plants become. Some are twisted together, while others look like grotesque human figures, which are quite terrifying.

……

"It's not the Tree of Ruins, but why... does it give me such a familiar feeling?"

Baiye clenched her fists and looked nervously at the surrounding trees.

Although she desperately wanted to activate the power of the Abyss and communicate with these trees, they did not respond to her calls at all.

Luo Zhisheng and Candel also had rather solemn expressions. They didn't say anything, but the forest gave them a very unsettling feeling.

And what about Elusia?

She remained expressionless, coldly surveying her surroundings, and said:

"I see... I understand now."

"Junior Elusia, what's going on?"

"Well, it's actually quite simple. Senior Sister Luo Zhisheng is human, Princess Cecilu is a half-demon, Candel is a pure demon, and Baiye is a puppet that controls the Abyss. If everyone feels something is off, it means that the power in this forest is different from the five powers mentioned above."

"They're all different...?"

"Hmm, perhaps this is the new power that Caster has been seeking? Isn't it... that guy hiding in the woods?"

Elusia raised an eyebrow and looked into the depths of the forest.

……

……

"Waaaaah, waaaaah..."

"Ah, Lonnie-chan, no, we can't go out."

Seeing Lonnie constantly grabbing at the glass with her little hands, Zhou Suling quickly picked her up and took her down.

Ever since Elusia stepped off the ship, the silver-haired little fox has been anxiously looking out the window.

He must be very worried about Elusia's safety, right?

Hmm... Lonnie really likes Elusia~

Thinking of this, Zhou Suling smiled and said, "Lonnie-chan, don't worry, okay? Elusia is very powerful."

"Ugh...?"

"Yeah, it's a little embarrassing to think about it now. But it was Lonnie who told me how amazing Elusia is."

"Meow?"

"It was on our journey to the boundless land, when we first encountered a monster siege. And now, it's my turn to protect the little fox."

Zhou Suling smiled gently and ran her hand through the downy fur on Lonnie's tail.

……

"To be able to find my trail... As expected of the princess of the Snow Kingdom. Where is Lonnie?"

As they were talking, a girl with dark green hair emerged from the forest.

She is about 1.53 meters tall and has a very petite figure.

However, she wore high heels that looked like they were wrapped around roots, and her eyes were dark green, like a pool of autumn water whose source could not be seen.

Facing the green-haired girl, Elusia stepped forward, as if defying the court, and a black light capable of devouring everything emanated from her.

"Princess of the Snow Country, Lonnies? No, I'm just a female demon now—Elcia, okay?"

"Does abandoning one's name mean abandoning the past? That's utterly foolish, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand."

"Haha, I haven't abandoned the past. Princess Lonnie is hiding in a safe place. As her hero, I don't need the princess to kill you."

After saying that, Elusia took up her black sword and launched an attack.

The green-haired girl reacted just as swiftly. Faced with Elusia's sudden attack, she didn't even try to dodge, but instead directly...

It turned into a tree.

The heels, originating from her ankles, continued to spread over her, instantly enveloping her body... as if entangled by countless tentacles, the girl's body transformed into a tree trunk, while her hair became leaves.
