Thank you for the invitation. I am in Terra, just under the stars.

Fortunately, she fainted when she took the first sip, so the exact taste was not that profound, otherwise she was afraid that the first thing she would do when she got up would be to go to the bathroom to rinse her mouth.

"call……"

After a long breath, Xintrea broke away from the terrible memories and looked down at the bedding that should have been on her body.

She didn't even take off her clothes. Someone moved her directly to the bed and covered her with a quilt. She was sweating while sleeping at night.

You can feel that not only the armpits are slippery, but the feet wearing thick socks prepared for exercise are even worse.

Over the course of a night, the socks had been soaked by foot sweat that slowly seeped out. The soft velvet was sticky to the soles of the feet. Even when the toes were lifted slightly, it felt like there were honey threads between the toes. illusion.

...Maybe it's not an illusion?

Xintrea couldn't help but frown.

Although there are many more serious experiences in the past, especially after working overtime, the boots are full of sweat and turn into a quagmire. Every step I take is like sinking into a swamp made of my own foot sweat. Physically, it feels very uncomfortable. nausea.

But this is the first time that the soles of my feet have been soaked in sweat for such a long time.

Even though I didn't sweat much because I didn't exercise, and I just covered it up, the stickiness that seemed to penetrate into my skin was very unbearable.

Go take a shower, at least wash your feet... Cinderella, who doesn't like sliminess, naturally made this decision.

When she just sat on the edge of the bed and found the slippers, looking at the dark socks on her feet that were soaked with water, Xintrea was slightly startled, and suddenly a thought came to her -

...Wait a minute, maybe Zhou Cheng will like my feet now?

Staring at the sticky feet in her socks and smelling the dull salty smell that seemed to be absent in the air, the pure white Pegasus girl had a slightly weird expression.

After thinking about it, she felt that it was not maybe, but she would definitely like it.

Thinking about how he was so obsessed with it when he was just a little sweaty, now his feet, which have been soaked in foot sweat all night long, are they not as good as wine to him?

Xintrea hesitated for a moment, whether to clean up or take advantage of this to find Zhou Cheng.

As a girlfriend, it should be necessary to satisfy his fetishes, right?

As a girlfriend...

"Well……"

The pretty face of the indifferent girl turned slightly red, and it took a while to calm down.

Although her love affair is inevitably mixed with realistic factors, it is such a relationship after all, and she will inevitably become embarrassed just thinking about doing things with him that satisfy her XP.

but……

Sure enough, we still have to do it, right?

He already said that he would take me to travel to Sami, and I should...um...should do something...

With an expressionless face, Xintera felt her cheeks were getting hot, and she couldn't help but secretly bite her teeth to control her facial expression.

At this moment, the door handle of the bedroom door turned, and a tall figure pushed the door open and entered.

The gorgeous blond hair exudes a brilliance that is brighter than the light. The beautiful and three-dimensional facial features embody a correct and serious demeanor. She looks very responsible and reliable.

Ok……

Reliable for making sleepy cakes.

75. I have to sell myself to pay off the debt.

"Ah, Miss Xintrea, you are already awake."

The calm voice of Sister Yu came from the lightly parted lips, and the shining knight's face seemed to be visibly relieved.

Margaret is only 19 years old this year, but her body has developed to a very mature level due to high-intensity exercise and fighting, but her throat has not yet caught up, and her voice has a slightly childish sound.

But as long as a normal person sees the heroic look on Knight Yao's eyebrows and hears the steady tone of her voice, they won't notice that the childishness that makes her voice more beautiful and light is completely covered up by her reliability.

So why did I notice this in the first place?

Insight as platinum?Or was it that he had unknowingly labeled the Glory Knight, who was also a Pegasus but had a figure that exceeded his own, as a potential love rival?

Xinteleia's thoughts flashed through her mind, and she looked at the shining knight who turned to look apologetic after heaving a sigh of relief, and had some thoughts in his mind.

Although it seemed that Zhou Cheng had no such relationship with Knight Yao, for some reason she felt a vague sense of crisis from this fellow Pegasus.

I hope it's an illusion. I don't want to find a boyfriend and have to compete with so many people for favor... Muttering in her heart, Xintreya responded softly and raised her head to silently look up at the Glory Knight who was taller than herself.

Margaret felt a little embarrassed by her expressionless gaze. She raised her hand, clenched her fist and coughed lightly in front of her mouth, and said in an apologetic tone:

"I'm really sorry. Yesterday was my first time making a cake, and I accidentally picked up the wrong ingredients."

"It's okay the first time, but even if you get the wrong materials, you shouldn't come up with something like that, right?" The Pegasus girl complained to Sister Pegasus expressionlessly.

At this point, she subconsciously recalled yesterday's cake. Her indifferent expression was inevitably broken by a hint of horror. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she said in a calm tone, somewhat stupefied:

"How should I put it... It's like a cursed object. It's obviously normal to see, smell, and touch, but when it enters the mouth, the taste completely deviates from its normal state."

Cinderella, who had always been a bit taciturn, said so many words at once, which made Margaret's face even more apologetic. At the same time, she felt a little depressed. She had the urge to cook three dishes and one dish for the dog after making her own food. Soup feeling.

But this kind of frustration is not much. She actually knows how to cook. She used to solve food problems by herself when walking alone on this land. But at that time, cooking was required to be simple and quick, and she never made exquisite pastries. That’s all.

Moreover, the reason why the cake was described as a curse this time was indeed because the wrong ingredients were used...

Thinking that she had picked up the wrong materials, the apologetic expression on Margaret's face became slightly subtle. After pondering for a few seconds, she explained:

"...It is a liquid similar to medicine. The boss usually likes to eat it, so I take it to the kitchen and add it to the boss when cooking."

"...Medicines?" Xintrea had a bad association.

What kind of medicine would make a Pegasus like her fall over as soon as she takes it?

I'm afraid it's not the sweat medicine!

As if she saw something in the indifferent girl's eyes, Margaret immediately went on to explain:

"It is produced by our company. You can feel it. Your body should become stronger and more energetic than before."

Hearing what she said, Xintrea clenched her fist tentatively, and her hands really gathered strength that was at least twice as strong as before.

Of course, it's just a physical sensation, an illusion caused by the expansion of strength in a short period of time. In fact, it is certainly not that exaggerated.

My legs too seemed to be stronger than before, but I didn't notice it because my feet were sticky and uncomfortable when I got up.

After confirming that she had really become stronger, Xintrea couldn't help but ask:

"It's very effective. As for the medicine, can I still take it?"

It's just a taste, even if it breaks into pieces after eating it once, it doesn't matter as long as it makes you stronger!

This is much easier than exercising that requires long days and months of training. All you need to do is open your mouth and lie down on the board.

However, after she said this, Margaret showed a troubled expression, hesitated for a while and then refused:

"Sorry, this is not possible. The medicine can only be taken in moderation. The boss only uses it to replenish energy."

Can drugs that strengthen people be manufactured in batches and used as energizers?

Xinteleiya couldn't tell whether Zhou Cheng was a prodigal or really didn't need to care, but considering the taste, she couldn't help but said with some doubts:

"Zhou Cheng...can he eat this kind of thing?"

"Ah, if it has been specially treated, it should still be edible." Margaret said uncertainly.

The pure and upright Knight Ji would not tell lies, and Cinderella could already tell that she was perfunctory with him, or that she did not want him to know what he was eating.

This aroused Cinderella's curiosity. She was not stupid enough to ask the Glory Knight who was obviously covering up. She was just prepared to ask Zhou Cheng later.

If you just ask, he will probably tell you, right?

After all, Zhou Cheng doesn't look like he's hiding anything. It just feels like as long as you make a request to him, you'll definitely respond.

Thinking about it, Xintrea nodded slightly, pretending that she no longer cared about this matter, and said calmly:

"Well, I understand, Miss Linguang. Is there breakfast now? I didn't even have dinner yesterday."

"Yes, please come with me. Today's breakfast was cooked by the boss himself. He asked me to take you to eat."

As he spoke, Margaret stepped aside at the door, with a happy smile on her serious face and a slight twitching in her throat.

It looks like... Zhou Cheng's breakfast is particularly delicious?

Xintera began to look forward to it. As she walked out of the door, she imagined Zhou Cheng cooking for her... As soon as she thought about it, she realized that in addition to the Glory Knight, there was probably the white-haired White Horn who was eating with her. Sakaz's mood suddenly became not beautiful.

Well……

Although I didn’t do it for myself alone, at least I did it, right?

After comforting herself, Xintrea stepped on her sticky socks and walked into the classical corridor hung with wall lamps and oil paintings. After passing through this corridor, there was a hall with a very high dome, which was the restaurant.

She remembered the structure of Linguang's house, which was considered an occupational disease. When she went to a new place, she couldn't help but observe the terrain and think about how to fight and escape here.

Her pure white hair swayed in the light of the lights. The girl walking towards the restaurant did not notice the knight behind her looking at her back with a complicated expression.

After a while, Margaret sighed slightly.

The boss can actually cure severe ore disease instantly...

In my heart... I actually wanted to beg him.

But would such capabilities come without costs and limitations?

If there is no price for everything, why would Iron Blood Heavy Industries research the antidote for ore disease?

And I...if I want to ask shamelessly, what should I pay?

Thinking deeply, Margaret looked in the direction of the dock. Her sight seemed to pass through the wall and half of the city, and she saw the steel giant crawling on the land.

So far, she has not mobilized Iron Blood Heavy Industries and Rhode Island's military forces once, but she knows that they are waiting for her.

What Margaret owed could no longer be repaid.

76.Breakfast at Linguang’s house

In the Linguang family's mansion, breakfast in the morning was a large bowl of noodles with bright red soup floating on the surface, which looked very spicy.

As a companion to the meal, there is a large pot of orange soda with a large number of high-density ice cubes at the bottom. It is obviously taken into consideration for girls who cannot eat spicy food...can this be considered as consideration?

Zhou Cheng, who was sitting in the guest seat, raised his eyebrows slightly.

The restaurant is a classic family dinner-style long table, with the main seat at the front and a portrait of an ancestor on its back. There are colorful windows on both sides of the restaurant, allowing the morning sunlight to filter in and sprinkle on the dining table, drawing a Mottled brilliance.

Originally, Margaret wanted him to sit at the top, but he refused on the grounds that 'you are the head of the Linguang family'.

Zhou Cheng has no interest in sitting in the main position. What's the point of always occupying the highest position, including family and various organizations?Rather than shouldering the responsibilities of such a position, he prefers fishing.

Anyway, even if he is not in that position and fishes all day long, he can do whatever he wants to do at any time.

Power means nothing to him.

"..."

Zhou Cheng glanced at the dining table. Shining, who had changed into a wider robe, was sitting next to him, holding an ice-cold soda and sipping it gracefully like drinking black tea. She probably also likes black, and the black robe is decorated with makeup. Wearing black gauze.

Next to her sat Liz. The blond girl sat upright, looking more like a good student than Razer.

Zhou Cheng, who had just finished cooking and came out of the kitchen, tapped the table with his fingers, turned his head slightly and asked Shining's wife beside him:

"What about the others?"

Taking a sip of the soda, feeling the bubbles dancing on her soft lips, Shining raised her slender eyebrows slightly, looked towards the entrance of the restaurant, and said in a slow and soft voice:

"Margaret went to call Xintraiya. The doctor said they would come back later."

There were only so many people eating, and Margaret's sister hadn't come back yet, so the seaweed heads didn't need to eat at all.

After all, they are autonomous humanoids that don't even have self-awareness and have no need to eat. They are genuine tools.

"alright."

Zhou Cheng nodded, and reached out to pick up the glass that The Shining placed on the table. He held it up in front of him and looked at it under the light. There was a light red lip mark on the rim of the cup where her plump lips had touched it. With his eyesight, he can also distinguish subtle lip lines from the color subdivisions.

Turning to look at Shining, Sakaz with white hair and horns was dignified and quiet. The gentle lights and mottled light and shadow fell on her delicate and beautiful face, but it was not as holy and soft as hers. Even the light was in front of her. Eclipsed.

Quiet and peaceful, the white-haired and white-horned Sakaz looked back gently, looking at his lover with tolerance and love.

Zhou Cheng felt that his heart was suppressed for a moment, but while being suppressed, a new heart emerged from her dignity and sanctity.

His astringent heart is always inexhaustible.

At once,

Excellent.

With the urge to ravage the dignity and sanctity, Zhou Cheng lowered his head and pressed his lips together, taking a sip of the pungent carbonated drink and tasting a hint of crystal-clear comfort.
