Ep. 1300 Soul City Part 10

  Treegirl says "That isn't what I meant. After the way you looked at me, I am worried you won't be able to resist her. Unlike me, she doesn't limit herself to humanoids. However, out of the shops that I know of, she has the best prices and will take as much as you want to sell."

  "That won't be a problem. My fiance is an archmage and I don't feel like getting blown up by her. Looking is all I will allow myself to do."

  Treegirl laughs and says "Alright, if you say so." Then she gives me directions to the other shop.

  "Oh, before I go, I had one plant that wasn't in either book. Do you want to take a look?"

  Treegirl says "Of course I do!"

  "Alright. Be careful though, it tried to bite Maximus when he uprooted it."

  Treegirl says "A plant that bites? Now I am really interested! Bring it out, quickly!"

  "Sure. Give me a second."

  I enter my soul palace again, carefully grab the plant, and bring it out with me. Then I quickly put it on the counter and snatch my hand away before it can bite me. The dryad starts examining it, but for whatever reason it doesn't try to bite her."

  Treegirl says "This is really interesting! It is the first plant I have ever seen that needs to consume something. Tell me, in the world where you found this, were there insects?"

  "Only one type that I saw, but they travelled in huge swarms."

  Treegirl says "I will give you ten thousand for the plant. I will give you another twenty thousand if you will go back to that world and catch me some of those insects."

  "Well, I was planning to go back to look for more plants, but I would need something to catch them in."

  Treegirl says "I should have something for that, give me a second."

  She disappears right in front of me and my guess is that she went into her soul palace. I'm glad that she taught me that trick, it is going to come in real handy. I just wish that the dragon had been a little more helpful and had explained more.

  Treegirl appears and says "Here, this bottle should hold them and keep them alive."

  "It's kind of small, it isn't going to hold many."

  Treegirl says "That's fine, I only need a few to experiment with."

  "Alright, I will do it."

  Treegirl says "Great!"

  "Okay, I will be back. Oh, by the way, my name is Ash. What's yours?"

  The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

  Treegirl says "My name is Leafa."

  "Really?"

  Leafa sighs and says "Yes, really. I was named by a human that wasn't very good with names."

  "That's unfortunate. Not that it's a bad name or anything. Anyway, I will be back soon."

  I quickly leave the shop before I get myself into trouble and follow the directions I was given. However, I can only stop and stare when I see the sign for the shop Leafa sent me to. The sign doesn't look anything like a plant shop sign, it looks like the sign for a strip club.

  I suddenly find myself wondering if going to this shop is such a good idea. I feel like I am about to get myself into trouble, but I need to sell these plants. I take a deep breath to put my worry aside, open the door, and enter the store.

  My first impression is that it is a normal plant shop, all I see are shelves full of potted plants. In fact, even the plants that I can see look completely normal, I was worried for nothing. Then, from deeper in the store, I hear movement and then I see the owner.

  She comes walking out from behind the wall of greenery and I can't look away. She is tall, easily over seven feet, and she is only wearing what looks like a bikini. There is a lot of exposed skin and it is all a perfect porcelain white.

  Other than a pair of small black horns growing out of her forehead and black feathered wings, she looks human. However, even without those, based on her figure not many people would think that she was a human. I will never admit it out loud, but I think her figure is even better than Lin's.

  As she walks towards me, I finally notice her long white hair that contrasts with her wings. Even her bikini is white and black, the only thing that is a different color are her eyes. Her eyes are a deep purple with flecks of gold floating in them.

  ??? says "Well, hello handsome! Welcome to my store! What can I do to you?"

  "Um, don't you mean for me?"

  ??? says "That too!"

  "Ahem. Leafa sent me over, I have some plants to sell. The ones that she didn't want."

  ??? says "Oh? So Leafa got to you first? Well, that's alright. I don't mind sharing, although you aren't her normal type."

  "Huh? Are we still talking about the plants?"

  ??? says "Nope! Not at all! We are talking about the way your eyes are looking at me!"

  "Sorry, it is hard not to look, but that is all I am going to do. I am just here to sell some plants, nothing more."

  ??? says "Boring! You dragons are always so stuffy! Fine, follow me."

  She turns and heads back deeper into the store and as I follow her I notice something. She has a very short tail, maybe six inches long, right above her tail bone. Her wings and hair almost cover it, but it is visible when she moves a certain way.

  ??? says "Are you sure you only want to look? You can touch too, I don't mind."

  "You might not, but my fiance would definitely mind."

  ??? says "Huh? I've never heard of a dragon getting married?!"

  "I am not a true dragon, at least not yet. Besides, I started out as a human."

  ??? says "You are getting more and more interesting!"

  "Thank you."

  We finally reach a counter and I quickly fetch the plants from my soul palace. Once I place them on the counter, the succubus takes a minute to examine them.

  ??? says "Hm, not bad. I will give you five thousand for the lot."

  "Sure. Sounds good to me."

  Soul Coins gained: 5,000

  ??? says "Great. Now that business is out of the way, why don't we talk about pleasure?"

  "Sorry. As tempting as you are, I love my fiance. Let's just stick to business. I have a pet that gathers plants, so I will be back to sell more in the future."

  ??? says "A repeat customer, my favorite kind! Don't worry, I can be patient, you will have plenty of chances to change your mind. Or you can bring your fiance with you. Like I said, I don't mind sharing!"

  "Um, she hasn't started working on her soul yet, so that probably isn't going to happen. Like I said, let's just stick to business."

  ??? says "Alright, for now. But from now on you should call me by name. My name is Damona. Before you ask, yes I was named by the same human as Leafa. We both had a contract with him for a period of time. That is how we became friends."
