Chapter 4: Barbecued Little Fox
(Help me!!!!!!!!!!)
Lonis blinked frantically, signaling that she didn’t mean it that way, and that Elus had misunderstood.
But what about this black-hearted girl?
She became even angrier…
“Yes, yes, yes, I misunderstood. Lonis only thought that while dreaming, and wouldn’t dare to really say such a thing in front of me, would she?”
“Ah?”
“However, if you think about something during the day, you’ll dream about it at night. The fact that you can have such a dream proves that your little fox isn’t far from death. Let me see, who do you want to banish to the cold palace?”
(Wuwu!)
Elus, when angry, was truly terrifying.
Her crimson eyes seemed to want to peel off Lonis’s skin… Although she had lost control of her body, Lonis’s body was trembling instinctively, and she was sweating profusely, soaking the bedsheets.
“Originally, I didn’t want to take any measures against my white-stockinged maid. But you, you seem to be too proud of yourself.”
“Ah?”
“Then, let’s arrange this.”
Lonis was dumbfounded when she saw what Elus took out of her storage ring.
Because it was a…
Small metal ring!
A bell hung below the ring. If Lonis wasn’t mistaken, this should be the kind of thing specifically used to clamp onto oneself!
Therefore…
“!” (No.)
“Good boy. When your senses recover tomorrow morning, you’ll enjoy the pleasure of being clamped.”
“Wuwu, wuwu wuwu!!!!!!!!”
“Oh, right. Not only should there be two on top, but also one below?”
Without the slightest mercy, Elus mercilessly put these rings on Lonis.
Although Lonis didn’t feel any pain because her sense of touch was deprived, she would be completely unable to move when she woke up tomorrow.
After all, she was clamped.
Lonis was in despair. What made her even more despairing was that despite being fitted with jewelry, she still hadn’t been able to tell Elus about the rescue team being attacked.
In the end…
“Good night, little fluffy ball.”
And so, it was morning.
With a stinging sensation on her body, Lonis woke up. Elus was looking down at her with a cold smile.
“Hmph, how is it? Do you know you were wrong?”
“Wu…”
“Apologize now, and I’ll take it off for you. Otherwise, you’ll have to wear it forever!”
After speaking, Elus triumphantly patted Lonis’s body, causing her to feel a pulling sensation and hear the sound of the bell.
But…
“Wuwu, Elus, I didn’t… do it on purpose?”
Lonis ignored the soreness in her body and sat up directly: “Last night, I heard the call for help, so I wanted to use that method to call Elus for help!”
“Call for help?”
“Yes! Last night I heard Nalonate’s cry for help. She was attacked in the nearby area.”
“…”
“And now, and now it seems too late. Everyone was attacked, and it seems they were seriously injured.”
Lonis cried anxiously.
In fact, being teased by Elus was secondary. What made her most distressed was that she hadn’t been able to relay Nalonate’s distress signal, thus delaying the rescue.
She didn’t know if that little loli was still alive. If she died…
However, facing the weak Lonis, Elus only showed an expression of mixed feelings.
“Haah… you idiot, are you that stupid?”
“Ah?”
“Sigh… Lonis, you didn’t add points to ‘Mind Communication’ when you were a freshman, so how could you possibly hear Nalonate’s voice?”
“!”
Lonis was stunned, and only then did she realize something was wrong.
“I… I thought Nalonate had the ability to communicate with my mind.”
“Then, what did she call you?”
“What… Ah, that’s right!”
With Lonis’s reminder, Lonis finally remembered that Nana had called her by her real name last night.
Normally, she would respectfully call herself Princess Hero, or Your Highness the Hero.
“What you heard last night was a creature called a Siren. They steal the target’s inner thoughts and convert them into the voices of acquaintances.”
“!”
“Their purpose is to lure idiots like you out of the camp’s protection, so they can devour you in the darkness. Sigh, what an idiot.”
After speaking, Elus rubbed Lonis’s little ear.
Lonis also stood there stunned…
(Was I deceived?
Not only did I worry all night for nothing, but I was also fitted with ornaments by Elus…
So, wasn’t I a fool?)
…
Looking at the pitiful silver-haired girl, Elus didn’t laugh but hugged her body.
“Okay, okay, I know the little fox is an idiot, so I won’t blame you for last night.”
“Elus…”
“In a moment, I’ll take off the items on you~ It’s okay, even if you’re this silly, this Master won’t abandon you.”
Elus, out of character, hugged Lonis and showed a gentle smile.
But Lonis…
“Wuwuwu, I’m not reconciled! I want revenge!!!!!!”
“Oh?”
“Where is that Siren? I want to destroy her, I want to kill her completely, I want to chop her up and stew her!!!!!!!!”
Although they had been tossed and turned all night, they still needed to eat in the morning.
Gathered around the big pot, everyone looked refreshed, as if they had slept well.
“Little Luo is so energetic this morning, it’s great!”
“Um… Su Ling, didn’t you hear any strange sounds last night?”
“Strange sounds…”
“Like murmuring or something?”
“Um, well… I slept very soundly, so I didn’t hear anything~~ Princess Cécile, how about you?”
Su Ling and Cécile slept together last night, and after sleeping together all night, the two seemed to have become much closer.
“Um, I didn’t hear anything either. Your Highness the Hero, did something happen?”
“Wu…”
Lonis looked around and found that no one else was affected by the Siren… and
According to Elus, Sirens were cunning, and they only deceived those they thought were easily deceived.
Therefore, the result proved…
“Wow, damn it, damn it! I’m going to fight her!!!”
“Alright, little fox, stop making trouble. Cough, cough, let’s get down to business now~~”
Elus grabbed the fox’s tail and said solemnly, “You’ve all worked very hard. After all, you’ve all come to the Underground World to help me.”
“Junior Elus, you’re being too formal~~ Didn’t we decide long ago to travel together~~~”
“Hehe, of course, pleasantries are necessary. Because this underground journey, we not only have to reach a safe place and reunite with Senior Isumi’s exploration team.”
“Are there other things to do?”
Mi Xue Zhou blinked her eyes, showing a curious look.
“Yes, actually, we know too little about the Underground World. So we need to record the terrain and landforms along the way to prepare for the future?”
“Prepare…”
“That’s right, because Han Yuan is also in the depths of the underground. So, early adaptation is crucial. Everyone, cheer up and set off with me.”
