"I don't object to you two being in a relationship, but you have to think about your future. Have you truly accepted each other?" - Chen Raul, with concern.

The victory celebration didn't last long, and soon the orcs returned to their own territory. However, there were major issues with the housing for the others. In theory, I could have sent the succubi back to the forest to live, but they clearly didn't want to. The Medusas would stay by my side from now on, as I couldn't bear to see them get hurt again.

The reason why the succubi didn't want to go back wasn't because they wanted to be with their leader Leya, but rather because a coincidence happened during the war in the form of a human and succubus couple. The level of coincidence was almost as incredible as my encounter with Sasha.

When the kingdom bombarded us with cannons, my plan was for everyone to take cover in the trenches and then deceive the cannonballs. The first time we did this, it was the humans who deceived the cannonballs. Originally, the humans and succubi were divided into two teams, but after deceiving the cannonballs, everyone jumped into the trenches together. The second time was the succubi's turn. When the succubi charged back to the trenches, one of them ended up in the arms of a human…

And so, the sparks of love ignited.

The human's name was Ned, twenty-one years old, the son of a racecourse owner, and he had black hair like me. In Night Fall Town, he could be considered a "genteel" character.

The succubus didn't have a name and I didn't know how long she had lived because she always tied a butterfly bow with a pink ribbon on her leg. Let's just call her "Little Pink" for now.

Their relationship had nothing to do with us as a married couple. If it weren't for Sasha bringing it up during our chat before falling asleep, I wouldn't have known about this affair. But who made us the classic case of romance between a monster and a human?

At the beginning, Ned and Little Pink kept it hidden well, or at least they thought they did. It was said that their first secret meeting took place in the solemn and dignified fir forest, and the two of them still retained the shyness and bashfulness of first love. It took Ned a long time to say a greeting that couldn't even be called a greeting: "Do you still remember me?"

Brother, I truly feel sorry for you.

As for the information about their secret meetings spreading, it was mainly because apart from Leya, most of the succubi were big-mouthed. Within a few days, even the thunderbirds in our monster group knew about this sneaky little couple. Among the succubi, there was also a surge of "getting involved with humans," but luckily Leya did her best to suppress any major incidents.

Then the focus naturally shifted to Ned and Little Pink, and all the succubi wondered if they could make it work. And during this time, apart from Simmon and me, no other humans knew about their secret. Simmon and I didn't have time to worry about them either because we were busy with the reconstruction work.

Based on the discussion with Wolfrang, we decided to rebuild the houses on the west side of the werewolf tribe. With the help of the Nephila and the werewolves, we should be able to build enough wooden houses before winter arrives. As for agricultural production, we would have to put that aside and deal with it after winter.

Sasha went hunting with her sisters every day, accumulating food reserves for the winter. It was a Medusa tradition.

The vampire dragon rarely appeared in public.

Park worked fourteen hours a day; I gave him too many tasks to handle.

But Ned and Little Pink suffered from lovesickness every day. Especially after Little Pink gave him a ribbon that smelled delicious, Ned would put that love token in his inner pocket and it seemed like he was only one step away from using that ribbon to masturbate.

"Mr. Raul, do you have time now?"

Sooner or later, Naid came to me on the second floor of the Wolfrang house, holding two packs of cigarettes and a bottle of alcohol.

"Come in and tell me what's up."

I was busy calculating the area of the buildings after the reconstruction, and had no interest in hearing him talk about love with me.

"This is for you."

"Mmm, I'll take it. Just get to the point."

As the only man in the world who is still alive and has experience with monsters, he must be looking to learn from his elder. But I wasn't in the mood to deal with him at the moment.

"It's about me and her... you know, right?"

"I know, I know. Just tell me what you want to know."

"I want to take it to the next level with her!"

"That's up to the two of you. I don't know either."

"No, Mr. Raul, you and Sasa..."

"You called her Sasa too? Call her Ms. Sasa or Mrs. Raul."

"Sorry, you and Ms. Sasa... really make people envious."

"So what?"

"I want to learn from you!"

Looking at Naid bowing ninety degrees, I was speechless because my experiences with Sasa definitely couldn't be applied to any other couple. But then, I suddenly wanted to tease this young man in front of me.

"Well... alright. Let me ask you first, have you ever held hands?"

"We... have."

"What about kissing?"

"We haven't done that yet."

"Do you want to kiss her?"

"Of course!"

"Hmm, well, back then, it was Sasa who kissed me first~"

"How did you do it?"

"Do you want to know?"

"Yes, yes!"

Watching Naid's eyes gleaming, I tried my best to hold back my laughter and started to deceive him.

"First of all, she ties you up and then gives you a slap."

"Oh... do I really have to be slapped?"

"Yes, just one slap."

"Okay, what's next?"

"Then you drink water, as much as possible."

"Drink... water. Hmm, got it."

Naid took out a notebook and began to write down what I was saying.

"Next, she will make you eat raw meat. Remember, no matter how much she gives you, you have to eat it all."

"Eat... raw meat. Uhh... Mr. Raul, why do I have to eat raw meat?"

"How would I know? That's what I did back then."

"But eating raw meat, that's a bit..."

"Do you still want her to kiss you? Monsters have their own habits, which are very different from us humans."

"I understand..."

"Then use your sleeve to wipe her mouth."

"Wipe her mouth?"

"Yes, wiping her mouth is a very important step!"

"Okay, got it."

"Finally, just turn your back to her. She will definitely come and kiss you."

"Mr. Raul, thank you so much!"

Watching Naid leave, I finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into laughter. Meanwhile, following the principle of "monsters find monsters, humans find humans," Xiao Fen also found my wife. According to Sasa's later recollection, their conversation went like this:

"Sasa... Sister?"

"Oh? Is there something?"

"Well... it's like this, I think I've fallen in love with a human."

"I know, so what? What does it have to do with me?"

"Well, everyone knows that you and Mr. Raul love each other very, very much."

"That's called mutual love."

"Yes, yes. So I want to ask you, how can I make him feel the same way about me..."

Looking at Xiaofen's anxious expression, my wife and I had the same thought.

"Don't succubi have magic?"

"No, I haven't used any magic on him..."

"Oh~ that's rare, I thought only Leya would fall in love with a human."

"I really like him!"

"Then just like him, what does it have to do with me?"

"Well... I wanted to ask you how you made a man love you so much."

"Well... I understand. Have you two kissed yet?"

"No, not yet."

"Hmph, back then, on the second day I met Raul, he took the initiative to kiss me~"

It doesn't matter who kissed who between Sasha and me anymore, but she always liked to claim that I kissed her first.

"How did you do it?!"

"First... you have to tie him up and then hit him."

"Ah?"

"Just hit him a little, that's the first step."

"Are you sure? I... hit him?"

"Yes."

"Okay... and then?"

"Then he should drink a lot of water, you don't have to worry, just watch him drink."

"Oh."

"After drinking the water, you have to feed him raw meat."

"How can he eat raw meat?"

"If he doesn't eat it, it means he doesn't love you."

"What?"

"Raul ate two pieces of raw meat back then!"

"Raul ate raw meat?!"

"Of course, this is a very important step."

"I see..."

This is ridiculous, to put it in a more popular phrase, it should be: how can someone who can't even bring themselves to eat raw meat that their beloved woman has cut claim to love her?

"Finally, he will help you wipe your mouth, and naturally, he will kiss you."

"That's it?"

"Yes, it's that simple."

Xiaofen was doubtful, but since Leya refused to help, she could only listen to my wife's coaxing.

That night, when my wife and I were eating, we mentioned this clumsy couple and laughed uncontrollably. We were eager to see them make a fool of themselves.

While Sasha closely monitored the movements of the two, I helped process the wood needed to build the house. The biggest obstacle to marriage between humans and succubi is not the difference in species, but the inability to have children. To take a step back, succubi have always treated men as resources to be used, and they also possess enchantment magic, making it difficult to believe that a young man in his prime genuinely likes a succubus. Among the succubi, there are various opinions on whether men can become husbands.

But now at least we are much more optimistic than Leya was back then. The succubi no longer think Xiaofen is selfish just because she and Ned are in love.

I have also discussed this matter with Leya, and she said that the succubi are now trying their best to restrain themselves. Seeing groups of men passing by every day is like a pack of hungry wolves seeing a fat sheep but unable to pounce.

Jokes aside, if Ned and Xiaofen really come to the point of discussing marriage, the relatively harmonious order will definitely be disrupted. Because Crefery and the White Queen themselves do not have much persuasion power in this matter.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this small matter may trigger an uncontrollable crisis. When I expressed my concerns to my wife, she also felt that it was inappropriate to make jokes with that couple, but now that things have come to this point, we can only watch and see how it unfolds.

On the day of Ned and Xiaofen's date, there were at least twenty people hiding in the nearby bushes, including me, Sasa, Leya, and Wolfrang. We all pricked up our ears, ready to prevent any possible "accidents".

Ned was wearing a wool coat and a black top hat, looking a bit awkward.

Xiaofen was holding a bundle of hemp rope, with her little legs tucked together under a rabbit fur robe in the late autumn cold wind.

"I, I'm going to tie you up."

"Okay, sure."

Listening to their conversation, Leya and Wolfrang turned their heads to us with puzzled expressions.

My wife and I forced a smile, and the soap opera was about to begin.
