NOVEL NEXT Chapter 158
Chapter 158 – I Must Make You Unable to Leave Me
Compared to Meng Yue and Ling Li, manipulating Shunpan’s transformation into a monster was much easier! As long as one simply enjoyed the meticulous care, could there be a more relaxing manipulation process?
Basically, nothing needed to be done, and before they knew it, the magical girl had successfully fallen? This was too effortless! It made Bai Yu feel somewhat dreamlike, causing him to become a bit cautious…
However, Meng Yue had already informed Bai Yu about Shunpan’s plan, so all of Shunpan’s motives were already under Bai Yu’s control. What threat could this guy pose to him now?
As he thought about these things, Bai Yu followed Shunpan through a teleportation spell to a basement. Looking at the five people in front of him, beaten bloody and hoarse-throated, Bai Yu couldn’t help but silently marvel… It seemed that compared to mere torture, Shunpan was even more proficient!
Thus, all Bai Yu needed to do was raise his hand… and he received ample and concentrated negative energy!
“Master, please return first.”
Next to the blood-red walls, Shunpan bowed to Bai Yu, “I will stay here to handle the scene.”
“Alright, but hurry up.”
While activating the teleportation magic, Bai Yu said, “It’s almost mealtime, so quickly finish up and come back to eat.”
“Yes, sir.”
With that, Bai Yu disappeared from the spot. Shunpan, meanwhile, closed her eyes… as if sensing something. Soon, she felt an eavesdropping array that had inexplicably appeared on her body.
No wonder the monster leader is so impressive~~~ I didn’t even realize when I was being monitored!
Holding her face with one hand, Shunpan’s lips curled into a strange arc that nearly reached her ears.
But master, even if you hear my true feelings… what can you do about it?
So, Shunpan spoke in a near-sick tone, softly murmuring, “Master~~~ I really like you~~~ I really like you, master~~~ I really, really like you, master~~~”
To the point where — I want you to never leave me! I want you to always belong to me! I only allow you to love me!
Therefore~~~ I must make you unable to leave me first~~~
—
“It all looks so delicious~”
Looking at the dishes on the table, Meng Yue, who had just returned, exclaimed joyfully, “Did that puppet make all of this? Just by smelling it… it feels like my bones are melting!”
“Liliu really can’t stand it. At this level of aroma, she can’t even stand up straight.”
Ling Li coldly added, “Moreover, don’t forget your undercover mission. It’s more fitting for you to return to your rental house and rely on magic power to stave off hunger.”
“I haven’t settled accounts with you from last time…”
Meng Yue turned her eyes toward Ling Li, smiling mischievously, “Anyway, Pabi doesn’t watch me much. Afternoon, we can fight in the training ground before I leave. Not being able to turn into a monster lately has been driving me crazy!”
“Perfect! Do you think you’re still my match?”
Baring her teeth, Ling Li retorted, “As long as you don’t use that unreasonable purification magic, relying solely on monster power—”
“Alright, no fighting during meals.”
At this moment, Bai Yu interjected, “Isn’t it better to enjoy the food happily? After all, Linlin put a lot of effort into making these—”
“And your gratitude to her is that she can’t even eat here?”
Winking, Meng Yue playfully remarked, “Although that foolish puppet isn’t very kind… did you check if there was poison inside?”
“Do you need to check for poison? I can test it directly with you.”
With that, Bai Yu picked up a piece of dragon meat, grabbed Meng Yue’s chin, and stuffed it into her mouth!
“Ahh~~~ It really tastes good~~~ But master is really mean, testing poison on your pet cat without mercy…”
“If you can’t detect the poison, then no other method would work either.”
Bai Yu replied matter-of-factly, “Think about your beast core monster. There aren’t many poisons that could affect you.”
“Hehe~~~ You found out, and even if I were poisoned, I could revive right here! However, there’s no poison in it. The taste… is actually better than the dishes cooked with magic in the cafeteria! How did she manage that?”
“If you’re interested, you can go see how she cooks next time…”
As he spoke, Bai Yu deliberately placed a piece of dragon meat in Meng Yue’s bowl before tossing another piece aside. Ling Li ignored the meat in the bowl and pounced on the one Bai Yu tossed.
“What a show-off…”
Watching Ling Li happily grab the meat Bai Yu threw, Meng Yue commented while eating, seemingly forgetting how elaborate her own game was…
“Come to think of it, I’ve never seen this sea dragon snake stew!”
Sniffing the pot that emitted a fragrant aroma, Meng Yue licked her lips curiously, “The cafeteria hasn’t served any of these monsters, yet she managed to catch them. How did she know how to handle them?”
Different monsters require different handling methods, and not all of them are tasty! For Shunpan to turn this unknown sea dragon snake into such a flavorful stew, it’s clear that this person’s knowledge of monsters might be more extensive than that of the monster organization!
“She even told me it was because I taught her before…”
Bai Yu remarked playfully, “She seems to have anticipated that I wouldn’t expose her, so she attributes everything to me, occasionally mentioning nonexistent memories… If I weren’t so sure of my own memories, I’d believe she’s been taking care of me since birth!”
“For example… she actually said that when the master was feeling down, she used her to vent her frustrations.”
At this, Ling Li couldn’t help but comment, “And she described it in such detail… how the master couldn’t sleep at night due to threats from the magical girl Dream Moon, and how she comforted the master with open arms at that time… saying that tonight, it was okay not to be gentle with her!”
“That’s absurd… it sounds like it’s true.”
Bai Yu also found it unbelievable, “Even saying she’s gotten used to my roughness, and that she’s fine with whatever happens as long as it’s for me… That expression makes me doubt if my memory is flawed!”
