The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

No one knew who shouted this in the crowd, but it completely destroyed the morale of the Ursus army, which was already on the verge of collapse, and those on the front line ran back like crazy.

Once the Ursus army was defeated, the battle became one-sided. The various factions of the Reunion Movement swiftly attacked and reaped the lives of the Ursus troops.

"Talulah, hold back your flames. In this melee, you're almost burning your own people." Frost Star frowned, using Originium techniques to generate ice cones, continuously reaping the lives of the Ursus soldiers, while shaping ice walls to divide the battlefield and block some of the flames that were shooting over.

"Sorry! It'll be over soon." Tallulah condensed flames and swung out a scorching fire dragon. Not only did it shatter the magic barrier of the magician group with one blow, but she also leaped forward and used the hilt of her sword to knock down the magicians one by one. Then, pointing the tip of her sword directly at the only remaining war magician, she said, "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

"There are only Ursus people who die in battle, there are no Ursus people who live on their knees!" Flames rose from the body of the war wizard. He proved his will with words and actions. He would rather die in battle than surrender.

"Okay, if that's the case, I'll do it—"

The instant the sword swung, the scorching heat instantly engulfed the war wizard's flames. The war wizard was indeed Ursus's most powerful wizard, even an indispensable and valuable resource in the fight against the Northern Plains demons. But facing Tallulah, who bore the blood of Draco, the war wizard's flames were undoubtedly far inferior. The result was self-evident: Tallulah easily dispatched the war wizard.

Meanwhile, the officers who had managed to survive, along with their personal guards and the assembled troops, began to flee down the mountain. The idea of ​​rallying the troops had become a joke; they were now determined to escape with as many men as they could carry. The guerrilla charge, led by the vanguard patriots, was unstoppable, crushing the scattered Ursus vanguard like a meat grinder.

The troops that assaulted the central army were even more ferocious than the last. First, there was the ruthless individual who wielded a dark green greatsword, beheading Colonel Nicholas with a single blow. Then, there was the mother dragon who blasted through the entire mage army with fire and killed the war wizard. And then there was the white Carthus who unleashed the initial avalanche, bringing the cold of winter. These three ruthless individuals alone were enough to overwhelm the entire central army, not to mention the troops they led.

The troops led by these officers had finally managed to escape from a series of crises, including the heavy blows of stone golems, the hammers of mudstones, the interception of the snow monster team, and the crossbow arrows shot from the cliffs. As a result, they were now inexplicably blocked by the rear army.

"Run! Why don't you run anymore? You were running pretty fast just now!" An officer couldn't help himself. After all, there was a chainsaw killer chasing them from behind! If they didn't run, they would be cut in half by the chainsaw killer.

"Sir! Our retreat has been cut off by someone! We can't rush forward now!" A soldier who had been trapped here for some time said tremblingly.

"What do you mean by being cut off by one person? Are you useless? I..." The officer was about to continue his outburst when suddenly a stream of crimson raindrops struck his face, cutting his words short. The officer then noticed that at the end of the front and rear army, a large number of broken bodies were constantly flying into the air, scattering everywhere, and blood turned into a rain of blood, pouring down on the heads of these Ursus soldiers. At the same time, the entire ground began to tremble, as if some terrible force was shaking the entire mountain.

"What...what kind of monster is this!?" Feeling the ground tremble, the officer's face turned pale. He had only felt this kind of movement from the Patriot before. Could it be that the Patriot had airdropped directly behind them, blocking their escape route?

"Don't be foolish and fight that monster! Since there's only one of them, let's just drop our weapons and run! The road is wide open! Just go around it!" the officer shouted, his voice threatening but weak. It was this shout that completely dispelled the Ursus army's resistance, forcing them to focus solely on escape. And it seemed to have some effect. The vibrations in the ground began to decrease, and the number of body parts flying into the air gradually decreased, until it was almost nonexistent.

Seeing that there was no obstruction, the officer hurriedly followed the pace with his bodyguards and fled in a hurry. When they were about to reach the top of the slope they had climbed up the mountain, the officer discovered that the Ursus army had split into two groups and fled to the left and right, leaving a wide road in the middle.

Soon, the officer saw a delicate-looking woman, slowly advancing, holding a heavy sword stained dark red with blood. As if noticing the officer's gaze, the woman glanced coldly at him, frightening him so much that he immediately averted his gaze. For a moment, he felt murderous intent gripping his neck, as if the slightest hostile thought would suffocate him with a single blow.

Fortunately, after avoiding the sight, the heavy feeling of suffocation disappeared. The officer, sweating profusely, just wanted to escape from this damn place as quickly as possible.

"Hahahahaha... please me! Return to the deep... huh?" In the back, the Ghost Shark, excitedly wielding its chainsaw, suddenly paused, its eyes a bit confused as it looked ahead. The Ursus soldier, who had narrowly escaped the Ghost Shark's clutches, didn't even bother to resist, abandoning even the slightest bit of resistance, and began to flee.

"Tap..."

At this moment, a woman, carrying a heavy sword, slowly emerged from the scattered Ursus army ahead. When she saw the Ghost Shark, a hint of shock crossed her previously calm face. Her red pupils narrowed slightly, and she hurriedly ran towards the Ghost Shark.

When Ghost Shark saw someone running towards her, she immediately came out of her trance and instinctively swung the chainsaw towards the woman.

"Qiang!"

The sound of metal clashing was harsh, and the ground beneath their feet began to crack. The woman frowned slightly and said, "Laurentina, what are you doing? It's me, Skadi."

"Um... Skadi..." Ghost Shark frowned. The inexplicable feeling of familiarity made her feel a little uncomfortable, and her strength became much smaller.

"Laurentina, what's wrong with you?" Skadi pulled Ghost Shark's weapon away. She could tell something was amiss with Ghost Shark; it didn't seem to recognize her. But this sense of blood connection couldn't be mistaken. Ghost Shark's face was unmistakable, not to mention his weapons and attack methods—those were ingrained in the bones of deep-sea hunters like them.

"Laurentina...who is she? I...am not her...I...am Ghost Shark." Ghost Shark half-covered her head and shook it repeatedly. The other person's voice and call made her extremely irritated, and her head ached. She wanted to be quiet, just like when she was beside Wang Chong and was fed blood. Only that blood could make her feel comfortable.

"Blood... I want blood... Wang Chong, where are you?" The ghost shark kept turning its head and looking around, then followed the smell and ran in a certain direction.

"! Wait!" Although Skadi didn't understand why the ghost shark became like this, now that she had finally found one of the few surviving deep-sea hunters, she naturally had to protect the ghost shark.

……

On the battlefield, as time passed, Ursus's soldiers died or fled, leaving few left. The war was drawing to a close. The Patriot had already stopped his halberd. This was the first time he hadn't used his full strength to lead such a small force, defeating the enemy with fewer troops and winning a beautiful battle.

The Reunion warriors and the Sarkaz mercenaries began clearing the battlefield and gathering the spoils. Meanwhile, Talulah led her troops to tie up the mages she had knocked unconscious, as well as some Ursus soldiers who had surrendered and laid down their weapons, and took them back up the mountain as their prisoners.

Frost Star had the Yeti Squad clear the snow while she went to look for Wang Chong. However, when she found Wang Chong, she happened to see him feeding blood to the Ghost Shark. At the same time, Frost Star noticed that standing next to them was a strange woman covered in blood, carrying a heavy sword.

"This face would look good after washing it," Frost Star thought. She approached Wang Chong and asked, "Is Ghost Shark sick again? And who is this person?"

"Well, after a fierce battle, she often needs this method to calm her down. Of course, it is also possible that she was stimulated by her fellow villager." Wang Chong said, looking at Skadi.

"Fellow countryman?" Shuangxing was stunned and looked at the strange woman.

Chapter 126 Killer Whales and Sharks

The story began more than ten minutes ago. After Wang Chong cleared out the Ursus soldiers near him, he quietly waited for the battle to end.

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest: The First Defensive Counterattack. Commanding the Combat Integration Movement's forces, they successfully resisted the 10,000-man army encircling this time and achieved victory. Reward: 1000 Villain Points, 3 Epic Lottery Draws. Additional Bonus: Current 7012 Reputation Points (still rising)."

"Your current villain points are: 7200 points, and your current reputation is: 12712 points. Ding—Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through to a new level of 10,000 reputation points, and obtaining the reputation title: [Widely Praised]. You can wear it at any time for your faction to increase the corresponding attributes. The next level will be unlocked after reaching 50,000 reputation points."

"New Title [Widely Praised]: Your faction's reputation has grown rapidly, and the stories of your deeds have spread far and wide across this land. More and more people are beginning to know your names, becoming the subject of idle gossip. Based on this reputation, your faction will begin large-scale expansion, recruiting talented individuals and laying the foundation for your future dominance."

"It's important to note that the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. You have already successfully entered the sights of many ambitious individuals. From now on, there will be more and more conspiracies, sneaky plots, and schemes against you. They regard you as pawns and stepping stones to realize their ambitions. What you need to do is to promptly identify those 'interested individuals' and join your team to ensure their loyalty."

Title Effect: You will automatically gain 100 reputation points daily. The loyalty of your organization members will increase slightly daily, and your success rate in recruiting personnel will increase by 10%. Every month, you can identify a traitor who has joined your organization and forcefully brainwash them into becoming your loyal dog, never betraying you. Your power can no longer be hidden, and the favorability of people in the area surrounding your power base will dynamically change: +15 for those who support you, -15 for those who oppose you.

"This title is awesome! Forcefully brainwashing a mole to become my loyal dog, and increasing the loyalty of organization members every day, it's like building a mind control tower for me in disguise. You're such a good system! You don't let me brainwash you, but you brainwash me yourself, right?" Wang Chong said with a smile after listening to the system's announcement.

"Host, apart from the mole project, the daily slight increase in organizational loyalty cannot be considered brainwashing. The propaganda of new ideas will achieve a similar effect. To put it bluntly, this is subtly influencing others. If it is really brainwashing, it will be forced to lock at the highest loyalty." The system explained.

"It's still brainwashing, but one is immediate, the other is gradual. I'm already an expert at brainwashing, so why are you playing word games with me?" Wang Chong said with a smile. "I don't blame you. In fact, you're saving me a lot of trouble. After all, due to the restrictions of the main quest, I can't use my abilities to brainwash these people. Once this main quest is over, if the next quest doesn't have these restrictions, I'm afraid I'll just activate the black fog myself to subtly influence them."

"Also, after this battle, I believe my approval rating should have exceeded 90%, right?" Wang Chong asked.

"Well, the host's current approval rating has reached 95%, which is not far from full approval. Of course, if new people completely unfamiliar with the Reunion Movement join, it might drop. But the host doesn't have to worry about that anymore. After all, those who will join the Reunion Movement in the future will all know your name."

"Now the host only needs to focus on gaining Tallulah's favor and recruiting powerful infected individuals to the Reunion Movement. Tallulah's favorability is currently 80 points. Two powerful infected individuals from the Reunion Movement have already been recruited: Ghost Shark and Suzuran. We only need to recruit one more."

"Huh? Lily of the Valley? I thought little Lisa's strength wasn't up to par yet, so she wasn't counted. But Honeysuckle isn't counted?" Wang Chong asked doubtfully.

"Everyone says that the infected are the strong ones, but Honeysuckle is not an infected person. She is very healthy..." said the system.

"Hmm...what if Honeysuckle accidentally gets infected with oripathy? Will she be counted as one then?" Wang Chong asked, stroking his chin.

"Host, please be a human being. Although you can succeed by exploiting the bug, it is hard to find three-legged toads in this land, but aren't there a lot of two-legged infected people?" the system complained.

"I'm just asking about this possibility. Besides, I'm treating Lisa and the others myself. If I let Honeysuckle get infected, wouldn't that just increase the pressure on me to bleed?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes... Then, host, you should search more. By the way, the reputation points are ready to be fully settled. The Ursus army has completely fled. Both the northern and southern fronts have been successfully eliminated. This time, a total of 7200 Ursus soldiers were eliminated. Adding the additional 100 points from your [Emerging Talent] talent effect, you have gained a total of 7300 reputation points. Your current reputation value is: 1.3."

"Including the prisoners we captured here...tsk tsk, only more than a thousand people escaped. If Emperor Ursus knew about the battle results here, I'm afraid he would be furious. Hmm? Ghost Shark?" Just as Wang Chong was still complaining, he noticed the Ghost Shark running towards him in a hurry.

"Blood... I want..." Ghost Shark came in front of Wang Chong, covered his head, and made an unusual groaning sound.

"Is this happening again? I told you not to go so crazy." Wang Chong used his blood control ability to ooze blood from his palm. Upon smelling that familiar scent, the ghost shark, without a second thought, half-knelt on the ground, grasped Wang Chong's palm with both hands, and began to lick it, shocking a killer whale following behind.

"Laurentina! You..." Skadi finally caught up with the Ghost Shark, only to see that the other party was half-kneeling in front of a man, licking the other's palm in an extremely ambiguous manner. He directly controlled Skadi for three seconds, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Hmm? Your friend?" Wang Chong asked knowingly. But the ghost shark just shook its head and focused on licking the blood.

At this time, Skadi also noticed that the ghost shark was licking the blood that kept flowing out of the other party's hands. She recalled that when she was chasing the ghost shark just now, she heard that the other party was looking for someone's blood. But how could the ghost shark develop the habit of drinking blood?

"Miss, you're Laurentina's friend, right? What's your name?" At this moment, Wang Chong's voice reached Skadi's ears. Skadi finally took a closer look, her eyes narrowing slightly. In Skadi's eyes, Wang Chong was not only good-looking, but also possessed an indescribable aura that made her feel very comfortable, even subtly stirring an instinctive urge within her, making her want to touch him. (A Killer Whale's View of Humans)

"Skadi." So Skadi said her name directly.

"It's like this, Laurentina..." Then, Wang Chong told Skadi about his encounter with the ghost shark and his condition of contracting the mineral disease, split personality and amnesia.

"How could this be..." After Skadi understood the whole story, she also understood why Ghost Shark didn't recognize her and behaved so strangely.

"Ms. Skadi, Laurentina once asked me to help her find her former companions so that she could deal with the enemies in the sea. Since you are Laurentina's companion, why don't you stay for a while? Perhaps you can help your friend recover some of her memories." Wang Chong invited.

"...How much do you know about what's happening in the sea? This is our own business, land people, don't interfere." Although Skadi's words were a little cold, she actually didn't think those "weak" land people could help them much, and if they followed them, they would just die in vain.

"Ms. Skadi, before you answer this question, how about you strike me with all your strength?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

"...You are Laurentina's doctor, I can't." Skadi immediately shook her head and refused.

"Don't worry, because—you can't hurt me yet." As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chong began to unleash his powerful aura. Skadi instantly collapsed, her muscles tensing, and she almost swung her sword out of reflex. This man actually gave her the same feeling she had when she faced the most terrifying monster in the sea—Isamara.

"How is it? Are you confident in striking me with your sword now?" Wang Chong noticed Skadi's performance, so he retracted his aura and asked slowly.

"No need... You are very powerful. You are qualified to know the truth." Skadi said, then looked at the ghost shark that was still drinking blood and said, "I understand. I am willing to join, but I will only follow you."

Chapter 127 Bloodthirsty Killer Whale

"Ding—Congratulations on recruiting a Deep Sea Hunter as your subordinate. You gain 1000 Villain Points, 1000 Reputation Points, and 1 Skill Point to upgrade any skill."

"You successfully influenced the fate of Skadi, the Fated Mistress, earning 500 Villain Points and obtaining the rare item: Sea Heir Assembly Order. [Sea Heir Assembly Order] Effect: Summon 100 Sea Heirs daily from the selected area to serve as your followers. Please note that these Sea Heirs only survive for one day."

"Your current villain points are: 8700 points, your current reputation value is: 1.4 points."

After hearing a series of system prompts, Wang Chong realized that Skadi had successfully joined his team. He took a quick look at her favorability rating and saw it was already at 50 points, a fairly good level of favorability, even though she didn't fully trust him yet. It seemed Ghost Shark's identity as a doctor was a good starting point.

As for the Sea Si Assembly Order, I think it's better to use it on a battlefield without Phantom Shark and Skadi. However, I'm not sure how strong the summoned Sea Si are. After all, Sea Si has its strengths and weaknesses, making it a good item to use but a waste to discard.

"Is Ghost Shark sick again? And who is this guy?"

At this moment, Frost Star's voice came from behind, and Wang Chong introduced Skadi to Frost Star.

"So you're Ghost Shark's friend... Did you invite Miss Skadi as well?" Frost Star asked.

"You are also aware of Ghost Shark's situation. We need someone to help watch over and take care of her. Before this battle even started, didn't members of the Reunion Movement complain that some of Ghost Shark's actions were impossible to stop? Now that Miss Skadi has joined us, she can also help us take care of Ghost Shark so that no one can stop her when she causes damage." Wang Chong explained.

"But the brute force of the ghost shark..."

"Don't worry. Do you think Miss Skadi, who is Ghost Shark's friend and grew up in the same place as him, can be any less powerful? You should have seen how bloodied Miss Skadi is. She just fought her way in." Wang Chong waved his hand, then looked at Skadi, extended his hand, and said, "Well, welcome, Miss Skadi."

"Hmm..." Skadi stared at Wang Chong's outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook it. But the moment she did so, she heard a very loud "Gu——"

"Shh-!"

Skadi quickly pulled back the hand she had just grasped, her eyes flickering around. If it weren't for the blood on her face, she would have been able to immediately see what the blushing little killer whale looked like.

"Miss Skadi must be very hungry after all the running around. We're planning to hold a banquet to celebrate this victory. However, they are still cleaning up the battlefield, so we'll have to wait a long time. So, Froststar, go notify the logistics team and have them prepare the celebration banquet before nightfall. I'll take care of the Ghost Shark issue later, and then I'll come over to deal with things on the battlefield with you and Tallulah."

Wang Chong turned to look at Shuang Xing and said. Shuang Xing nodded and left to go to the logistics team. After Shuang Xing left, Wang Chong took out an Ursus bread from his bag and handed it to Skadi, saying, "If you can't wait, you can have some of this to fill your stomach."

"..." Skadi took the bread and started chewing without saying anything. Judging by the speed at which Skadi ate, he was clearly starving. Wang Chong looked at the ghost shark still licking the blood and Skadi chewing the bread, wondering if these marine creatures could now be considered his own.

"Hmm..." Soon, Skadi finished the bread, and the ghost shark had almost finished drinking enough blood. Skadi looked at the ghost shark licking its lips, and didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly asked, "Is it delicious?"

"?" Wang Chong couldn't help but question himself, "Are you really hungry, Skadi?"

"It's sweet. It makes you feel warm after drinking it." However, surprisingly, Ghost Shark actually gave an answer.

It's understandable that the warmth you feel after drinking blood isn't real, after all, your own blood is packed with energy, and coupled with its ability to treat mineral sickness, it's not surprising to experience this feeling. But how could blood be sweet?

"..." After hearing this, Skadi's eyes couldn't help but turn to her right hand which had just been licked by the ghost shark. Although she looked silent, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Skadi seemed to be interested in this and wanted to drink it.

"Want to try it?" Wang Chong asked tentatively.

"...Is it okay?" Upon hearing Wang Chong's question, Skadi's eyes lit up. She approached Wang Chong and squatted down, imitating the Ghost Shark's actions.

"You're not really going to drink it?" Wang Chong couldn't help but mutter inwardly. His blood was only effective for people with oripathy. It probably wouldn't be very effective for someone like Skadi who wasn't infected. But since she was licking his hand, why should he refuse?

Therefore, Wang Chong once again controlled the blood from seeping out. Skadi, after taking a light sniff, remained hesitant. Skadi was not without common sense. How could blood possibly be sweet? Her face was still stained with blood from the recent slaughter, and the smell of blood was quite pungent. She couldn't just believe everything Ghost Shark said, considering his mental state was still somewhat questionable.

Ultimately, it was Skadi herself who had developed an interest. She had no idea why she'd suddenly developed a fascination with Wang Chong's blood. She simply felt that from the moment it appeared, it had stirred her instincts. It was as if a voice within her body had been urging her to taste it, to combine her body with his blood, making it irresistible.

Finally, driven by instinct and curiosity, Skadi extended her tongue and gently touched the bright red. As her tongue touched the blood, a soul-piercing sensation reached her mind, and a surge of warmth surged through her senses, reaching the deepest depths of her heart. She felt her entire body tremble, every cell leaping with joy, as if it had found its perfect nutrient.

"Hmm... a strange taste... seems to be really sweet." She gently swept her tongue across her palm, every bit of energy flowing through her blood stimulating her nerve endings. The taste was slightly fishy at first, but it quickly transformed into a sweet aftertaste.

"? It's so sweet?" Wang Chong was stunned when he heard Skadi's murmur. He even began to doubt himself.

Skadi also began licking more aggressively, moving from a light taste to a more exaggerated one, gradually increasing her speed. Her sticky tongue slowly traced the lines of her palm, meticulously tracing every wrinkle. A tingling sensation spread across Wang Chong's palm like an electric current, sending a slight shudder through him. The soft touch, with its intoxicating warmth, lingered on his sensitive palm.

Skadi's tongue first swirled around her palm, then delicately licked along the lines. Every time her nimble tongue brushed against a line, it stirred a shudder. Her movements became increasingly skillful, as if she were savoring a unique delicacy.

Gradually, not only the palms but also the edges and base of the palms were taken care of. Sometimes it was a light kiss, sometimes it was a heavy sucking pressure. Skadi closed her eyes and immersed herself in this new experience, not missing a single corner.

The sensation in my palms grew stronger, as if a million ants were gnawing at them. Every pore expanded in pleasure, the sweat secreted being greedily licked away. His lips pressed against my own, bringing a brief, intense feeling of oppression.

This gentle and enthusiastic service continued, making Wang Chong feel delighted. He could even feel the hot breath from Skadi's mouth and every mark left by that restless tongue on his palm.

It had to be said that Skadi's licking was completely different from the Ghost Shark's frenzied behavior. The Ghost Shark treated it like a meal, occasionally even taking a bite or two. Therefore, Wang Chong was more interested in appreciating the Ghost Shark's beauty. As for the feeling of the licking... forget it. Aside from the initial sensation, the rest of the time, he simply treated his hand as if it were being gnawed.

But Skadi was completely different. This delicate and gentle licking method, relying solely on her tongue, made Wang Chong feel a little bit excited. No wonder they say killer whales are the best at tongue kissing (weird). But Wang Chong still couldn't figure it out. Obviously, Skadi hadn't contracted the mineral disease, so why did she suddenly enjoy his blood so much?

Chapter 128 Celebration Banquet

Soon, the blood on Wang Chong's hand was licked clean. In the process, in order to better enjoy the sight of Skadi licking his palm, Wang Chong also used water magic to clean Skadi.

Wang Chong raised his other hand and gently touched Skadi's face. Under his magical control, a stream of crystal-clear water began to condense in the air. The warm water curtain enveloped Skadi's body, carefully washing away the dust and blood.

The water flowed like the gentlest brush, slowly brushing away the frost and blood stains on the girl's face. Her rosy lips, the tip of her delicate nose, and her delicate brows were all washed with exceptional care. Her long, silver-white hair cascaded down to her ankles, radiating a subtle sheen. Her once dark red uniform was also refreshed by the water, outlining the girl's perfect figure. Throughout this process, Skadi offered no resistance, seemingly enjoying the cleansing, allowing Wang Chong to clean her.

After cleaning, Skadi looked like a newborn, pure as an elf fallen into the mortal realm. Her cheeks were still slightly flushed from the hunger that had just made her stomach growl. The tip of her tongue was faintly visible between her slightly parted lips, swallowing blood into her throat.

At this moment, Skadi looked even more like a sweet fruit waiting to be picked. Gazing at this exquisitely beautiful face before him, Wang Chong's heart couldn't help but palpitate. Admiring Skadi's exquisite features while enjoying her licking and caressing was truly a rare and beautiful experience.

"...Thank you." After savoring it, Skadi stood up. Unknowingly, the relationship between Skadi and him seemed to have grown even closer. Even his favorability had risen from 50 points to 55 points. It seemed that Skadi really liked his blood.

"Although I know very well that my blood is somewhat special, the reason I feed it to the Ghost Shark is because she is infected, and she needs this blood to cure her mineral disease. Then why is Skadi so thirsty for it? After all, if she just wanted to try it out of curiosity, she wouldn't drink it all like the Ghost Shark, right?" After Wang Chong withdrew his hand, he asked Skadi curiously about the reason.

"...I don't know, but there's a voice in my head telling me that I have to do this. And...I do feel very different after drinking it...I feel warm, strong, and I'm not hungry anymore." Skadi answered the question very honestly.

"Are you sure I'm not hungry because the bread I just ate has swelled up due to the water?" Wang Chong muttered to himself. Now that his impression of her had grown, Skadi had become accustomed to showing her innocent side in front of him. He didn't know if her previous aloof demeanor was a facade, or if she was just so innocuous that she didn't react at all. She had a kind of silent, expert beauty.
