Chapter 171: Innate Skill 'Succubus Charm'
The boy caressed the surface of the fruit, feeling the plumpiness structure before putting it in his mouth.
Just as the fruit mixed with his saliva, it dissolved instantly, turning into a speck of energy that traveled to rush inside his body.
A notification sounded in his mind, confirming the information revealed by [Heaven's Eyes].
<<<<
[Fruit of Golden Berry eaten. One Innate Stats point gained.]

A surprised and pleasant expression shone on his face as he realized he came across an invaluable treasure in this desert that had filled his and the girls' life with torment.
The boy didn't wait and started to pick off more orb-like fruits from the golden berries plant and stuffed them into his mouth one after another.
More Notifications started ringing in his mind as he felt his strength increasing in real-time.

However, soon he discovered the limit to consuming these golden berries when he ate his sixth one.
'Can It only increase innate stats by five?'
Rio thought if he should eat more to check if it works or not when a voice resounded in his mind to help him in his decision.
"Don't do that, Partner... You can not exceed five innate stats limit from eating these golden berries alone. So instead of wasting them You should save these precious treasure-like berries for your girls." Eve said in his thought as she saw how he was going to misuse these invaluable fruits.
Hearing her voice, Rio stopped in his track and thought carefully as he gazed at the lush green plant.
"Can I keep this golden berries plant in the wonderland forest realm space?" The boy asked and was thinking to bring it out for Lia's garden as his wifey loved gardening abnormal extravagant floras.
"You can't," The girl said, splattering water on his face to extinguish the hopeful flame flickering in his expectant eyes.
'That's unfortunate. Lia will not be able to have these fruits... At the least, Lioness and Nyla will get to savor these innate fruits." He sighed inwardly as he wanted to bring it for her.
"Don't make that face, Partner. Why do you worry when You have such a beautiful empress of the Elven race as your Darling." Eve responded as she saw the boy had a downcast look, discovering he wouldn't able to store the magical plant.
Rio scrunched his eyebrows hearing her statement and asked calmly, "What do you mean?"
"I only said, You can't but that doesn't apply to me as I can shift it to the wonderland forest realm with a single thought.
However, I have to inform you that you can not bring it into Lia's garden. This innate fruit plant can only be kept in my Wonderland forest as it requires rich nature energy from my place." Eve explained with a jolly voice.
"Okay then do it." He commanded, as his face brightened.
"Do you think, I'm your maid or something? You need to pay me with a kiss then I would help you." The girl announced to him her loving price.
"You know I can't betray Lia then why do you ask such unreasonable things." The boy told her a valid excuse to pursue her as he really wanted to bring it for Lia.
"Why do you need her permission when she already agreed you to be with Nyla? You just wait until Layla comes into your life then I will enjoy watching the entertaining drama and seeing whom you love more - your first woman or your first wife." Eve said, her voice filled with amusement as she was laughing in an evil manner.
"Wait until Lay comes????" He mumbled and repeated her words, hearing the girl's name who he was looking for with all his heart.
He continued, "Do you know where she is?"
"I do. But I won't tell you even if you agreed to give me what I want." The girl responded, as her tone was filled with a hint of mystery.
"When will I meet her?" The boy asked, his eyes looking hopeful as he to yearning to find her again.
"You won't meet her anytime soon because of how you act and push away everyone who wants to get close to you. First, you rejected Nyla's affection then refused Kyra's invitation, and now turned me down for my romantic osculation.
Although I dislike you a little bit for this rude behavior but It also saved you from many unknown dangers, One of these threats is Kyra Wilson.
Be careful of that sly vixen. She is suspicious of you that you're from the Asura race" The orange-red-haired beauty berated him in a serious voice and also praised him before alerting him about Sophia's older sister.
"Why is she suspicious?" He asked as he couldn't think of any reason for others to doubt him.
"Because you didn't get charmed by her innate skill 'Succubus Charm.'" Eve answered.
"Thanks, I will keep it in mind," Rio responded, pointing towards the golden berry plants with his thumb finger while bending the others.
"Hmph..." Eve coldly replied, but then a silver light flickered around him that radiated on the golden berry plant as it vanished into thin air.
After the plant disappeared the spot looked as if there was no plant there ever before. The girl dug out and shifted the innate fruit plant with perfection without making any scratches or marks in the area.
"Hey Eve, Do you know where can I find the Exalted Clover Ring?" He thought to ask her as she knew almost everything.
"How can you ask this lady after rejecting me so heartlessly?" Eve asked with a stiff voice.
