BXBX NOVEL Chapter 73 Don't Cook Again!
Hikaru was startled, and he asked: "So, is there no way I can keep them in check? Can\'t they betray me at any time?"
He began to feel afraid. The System had previously told him that the monsters he summoned would be loyal to him; however, now Rika told him that Vuni and Tsuraguki had the power to break the bond between him and them.
If they really broke the bond, then he would definitely be in danger. No, they would certainly kill him if they wanted to.
[Master, the situation isn\'t that bad.]
"What do you mean?"
[In fact, there is still a bond between you and them, contrary to what you are thinking; the bond between you and Vuni and you and Tsuraguki is extremely strong because they all want to be loyal to you. Although they could have chosen to destroy the bond, they didn\'t because Vuni and Tsuraguki sincerely want to be loyal to you.]
Hikaru felt a bit confused. He thought for a moment and then asked Rika: "So, currently, Vuni and Tsuraguki are both incapable of betraying me; however, the future is unknown, right?"
[That\'s right, Master.]
Hikaru sighed; he knew that nothing was absolute, so it wasn\'t too surprising; he just felt a bit disappointed. Like he had just told Tsuraguki, he didn\'t expect the people he summoned to love him or be completely loyal to him, but he didn\'t want them to betray him.
If they found true love or they wanted to find a new path, Hikaru was ready to set them free; he just needed them to guarantee him one thing, which is that they would not betray him or become his enemies.
Hikaru glanced at Tsuraguki, and he thought that the worst-case scenario was that she would become his enemy. With Tsuraguki\'s tremendous power, he didn\'t want that to happen at all. He still remembered her sword slash that destroyed so many planets—that was not the power of an ordinary person, but the power of a god.
If it came to the point where Tsuraguki wanted to leave him, he wanted them at least not be hostile to each other.
Tsuraguki looked at Hikaru\'s worried face in puzzlement, but soon she realized what he was worried about. However, Tsuraguki neither spoke out nor comforted him; she knew that no matter how much she spoke, she couldn\'t help Hikaru\'s anxiety; she could only use her actions and time to prove to him that she would last forever. forever loyal to him.
Hikaru glanced at Tsuraguki and then added her to the communication effects from his Talent - The King. After receiving the powers of thought communication, Tsuraguki happily said, "So amazing!!! I can talk to Master whenever I want, right? No matter what I do or wherever I am, Master will know, right? Right?"
Hikaru was sweating; he didn\'t think that just being able to communicate through thoughts would make Tsuraguki so happy. At first, he thought this would upset her because having someone who can watch and talk to you at any time was annoying. It was almost harassment, or worse, an invasion of privacy.
Although in this world there were no laws or police, there was magic and people who possessed tremendous power; it was a world of the weak and the strong. The word of rulers and those possessing tremendous powers was law.
Hikaru then adjusted his outfit a bit and said, "We will teleport to the surface where there are other people."
Tsuraguki heard that and nodded. Suddenly, her outfit changed. The skirt extended to her shins; a bright red robe appeared behind her; and the shirt also covered her body. Her waist was wrapped in a layer of armor; the armor was made up of many honeycomb-shaped pieces of metal combined together.
Hikaru looked at the current Tsuraguki and felt that she was truly a queen. Tsuraguki suddenly lowered her head and whispered in his ear: "Apart from you, Master, no one can see my body."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tsuraguki lightly bit his earlobe, startling him. However, just as she had said, her clothes and robes covered her body and only revealed her face and hair.
Hikaru took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He felt that Tsuraguki really knew how to make people fall in love with her.
Right after that, he used his Teleport skill to teleport above the ground. When Hikaru and Tsuraguki appeared above the ground, he saw a terrifying sight. The whole house was gone, and only a few wooden stakes remained.
Darnag, Shala, Mika, and the other farmers, including the lizards, were all lying on the ground. Their faces were as pale as those of an anemia patient, and Hikaru even saw foam coming out of someone\'s mouth; his eyes opened wide as if he were poisoned.
Tsuraguki saw this scene; she frowned and said: "They were poisoned; this poison is really terrible; although the people poisoned wouldn\'t die, they would be in a state of suffering."
"They won\'t die, but they will suffer a lot." Hikaru confusedly asked: "Why?" If someone intentionally poisons them, why don\'t they just kill them? "Why make them suffer?"
Tsuraguki nodded and said: "Because they want to deter you."
"Deter me?"
"Yes." Tsuraguki explained: "During war, there are many sadists who don\'t kill people but cause them so much pain that they would want to commit suicide."
Hikaru shivered and thought that Tsuraguki\'s explanation made sense. If he had to endure torment, then ending his life would be a liberation. Thinking of this, he unintentionally glanced at Tsuraguki; he knew she had suffered pain, loneliness, and despair for over 70,000 years. Sometimes, the person who commits suicide is the coward, and the one who endures and overcomes the pain to continue living is the brave one.
"M-Master…"
A faint voice resounded. Hikaru looked towards the voice and saw Darnag struggling to breathe; he stretched out his trembling hand towards Hikaru.
Hikaru saw this and walked over to Darnag, his face full of tension. Then he asked: "Darnag, what\'s going on?"
"Master… quickly run!"
Hikaru frowned, and while he didn\'t quite understand Darang\'s words, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Master!"
Immediately, Tsuraguki moved; she stood in front of Hikaru to protect him. He stood behind Tsuraguki and turned his head to the side, where he saw Saraya happily walking over, her hand still holding a plate. On that plate was a kind of cooked meat. The color and decoration were very beautiful, as if they had been made by a famous chef.
"Master..." Darang\'s voice came from behind Hikaru and said: "Run, Maste, run!"
Hikaru frowned, and he asked Rika secretly: "Did Saraya betray me and poison the people inside the territory with her food?"
[No, Master. She remains loyal to you; besides, your bond with Saraya is the best.]
Rika\'s words were so convincing that Hikaru felt a little suspicious. It was difficult to understand when everyone had been poisoned and they were all lying on the ground and in pain, while Saraya was wide awake and normal.
As Saraya approached, she immediately recognized Tsuraguki\'s presence. Although this was the first time the two had met, Saraya somehow felt uneasy seeing Tsuraguki protecting her master.
Saraya frowned and said, "You are a...
Tsuraguki didn\'t answer Saraya but instead said to Hikaru: "Master, I know you need to deal with your physiological needs; however, the Succubus are a dirty race." you don\'t need to lower yourself to this extent." "Master needs me; I will serve you whenever and in any manner you wish."
"D-dirty?" Saraya was so angry that her face turned red. She shouted, "I am still cleaner than you rabbits that only mate from morning to night."
"Watch your mouth, you dirty race." Tsuraguki growled, her voice as cold as ice: "If you weren\'t Master\'s summoned monster, then I would have immediately killed you."
Saraya also did not relent; she stood up straight, raised her milky breasts, and said loudly, "What skills do you have to make Master happy?" "I think you can only lie down on the bed and let Master please you."
Saraya and Tsuraguki faced each other; their auras filled the surrounding air, and everyone was tense. Although Saraya was much weaker than Tsuraguki, her aura was not weak; even Hikaru could see that the two of them were equal in terms of aura.
"Enough!" Hikaru shouted, and immediately, Tsuraguki and Saraya were like two dogs that were scolded by their owners, so they bowed their heads.
Hikaru looked at Saraya and asked, "Saraya, what\'s going on?" "Why is everyone poisoned and you\'re fine?"
Saraya tilted her head; her face was innocent and confused. She asked, "Poisoned?" Impossible. Just now, when everyone finished eating, they all said they wanted to rest for a while.
"Rest? Eating?" Hikaru frowned, and he looked toward the plate of food Saraya was holding, his face wistful. "What did they eat?" he asked.
Saraya smiled, brought the plate of food in her hand to Hikaru\'s face, and said, "It\'s the dish that Shala taught me to make. Master, you should try it."
Shala? Hikaru turned to look at her. Shala was still lying on the ground, her face full of pain and her whole body shaking like she had malaria. He frowned, thinking, "Could it be that Shala instructed Saraya to make this poisonous food?" It\'s not possible; Shala is also poisoned, and besides, Shala can\'t afford to betray me.
He lowered his head to the plate that Saraya was holding and sniffed it. Hikaru felt that the smell was very fragrant; the smell of the meat and vegetables blended together made him feel that this dish would be delicious.
Hikaru thought to himself: "Strange! The plate of food that Saraya is holding is very fragrant, and it doesn\'t look suspicious from the outside. So how were Shala and the rest poisoned?
While Hikaru was thinking, Tsuraguki went to Saraya\'s side and said, "I can\'t let Master eat food of unknown origin; I need to test it first and see if it\'s poisonous."
Tsuraguki then reached out, took a piece of meat, and put it in her mouth. Saraya saw this and shouted: "This is the food I prepared for Master; it\'s not for you."
Tsuraguki\'s face was full of contempt as she looked at Saraya. Suddenly, Tsuraguki felt something was wrong, and her vision blurred, and then...
Not long after that...
Tsuraguki suddenly fell to the ground, her face pale and her eyes wide open. Hikaru was startled when he saw this scene and started sweating profusely. He screamed in his heart, "What the hell just happened?" Saraya\'s food...horrible! Even Tsuraguki can\'t resist it.
"Ah, why are you lying on the ground?" Saraya, a little confused, asked and then said: "It\'s impolite."
Hikaru looked at Saraya with sweat and said: "From now on until you die, I forbid you from cooking."
"Heh?!!"
