Chapter: The Aftermath
The wail of the Ghost Fire Horse echoed in the woods—like crying and complaining.
The hallucinogenic toxicity of the Poison Mist Flower was effective for about three hours.
Three hours later, the naked Conaway woke up from a pile of Ghost Fire Horses with ecstasy on his face.
The feeling just now~ I still want more.
Wait, where are the seven stunning beauties?
Conaway was confused.
Looking around, the seven stunning beauties had disappeared—leaving only seven Ghost Fire Horses lying on the ground, staring at Conaway with resentful eyes.
"Strange? Why are these seven Ghost Fire Horses looking at me like this?"
That look was clearly the look of a resentful woman abandoned by her heartless husband.
The Ghost Fire Horse was mixed with the blood of monsters. Its intelligence level was higher than ordinary horses.
Mares can be understood, but these are all stallions?
Also, why are the anuses of these Ghost Fire Horses bleeding?
Just as Conaway was wondering, the other six people limped out of the woods and were shocked to see Conaway lying among the Ghost Fire Horses.
"Asshole! What did you do to my horse?"
"Conaway, I didn't expect you wouldn't even let go of horses! I was wrong about you!"
"Too outrageous!"
"No! Listen to my explanation! I just did that with seven stunning beauties!"
Conaway realized something incredible.
"That golden tree will make people hallucinate. The seven beauties you just saw are actually seven horses."
"Ah..."
Thinking of the resentful eyes of the seven Ghost Fire Horses just now, Conaway reacted instantly. His eyes widened.
Frowning, squinting, pouting—he couldn't help feeling nauseous.
Ugh~
Conaway vomited directly.
"Eww~ Dead pervert~"
The purple-clothed girl looked at Conaway with disgust.
"I'm hallucinating! I don't want to do that to these seven horses!"
Conaway stood up and angrily defended himself.
"You're a pervert! So disgusting!"
The purple-clothed girl still thought Conaway was a pervert.
A young man with a broken leg next to him teased with bad taste, "Brother Conaway, species on the Celsis Continent can interbreed. These seven horses won't get pregnant with your children, right?"
"Hehe~ These are seven stallions! It's absolutely impossible for them to get pregnant with my children!"
Conaway secretly felt lucky they were seven stallions.
I heard someone in a neighboring country raped a giant lizard. The giant lizard gave birth to a half-human, half-lizard lizardman.
"This tree is very rare. I don't know what species it is. Let's go back to Snow City and tell the family first."
"Right. Let the family come forward to negotiate with this chef named Cheng Yu to see if they can buy it from him."
Before dawn, the seven people left Cheng Yu's manor.
In the morning, Mina touched Cheng Yu's nose with the hair on the tip of her tail.
Ha-choo~
Cheng Yu sneezed with an itchy nose. "Mina, what are you doing?"
"Just teasing you!"
Pointy little tiger teeth appeared at the corners of her mouth. Mina's red eyes looked at Cheng Yu with a lively smile on her beautiful face.
"Mina, you're getting bolder and bolder. You dare to joke with your master."
Cheng Yu remembered when Mina was first bought back—unruly and ferocious like a wild wolf.
After this period of getting along, Mina had become a gentle and lovely canine girlfriend.
Someone once asked a question: what's the purest love in the world?
Some people think it's the love between lovers that lasts forever.
Some people think it's fatherly love as high as a mountain.
Some people think it's motherly love like water.
But none of these answers are right.
The purest love in the world is the love of a dog for its owner.
Your relatives may betray you, but dogs won't betray their owners. They're very good at pleasing their owners.
This is something engraved deep in the genes of canines.
"I just want to protect Master Cheng Yu forever!"
Mina wrapped her arms around Cheng Yu's waist, rubbed her head against his chest—as clingy as a dog.
"Is anyone there?"
At that moment, a middle-aged man's voice came from outside the manor.
Cheng Yu rubbed Mina's head. "Someone's coming. Get up quickly."
After putting on clothes and pants, the three of them left the bedroom.
At the door of the manor, several middle-aged men carrying shovels and hoes stood there.
"It turned out to be Boss Locke! Please come in!"
Cheng Yu recognized one of the middle-aged men as Boss Locke of the flower shop in Bailu Town, who he'd asked to help build a large baking oven.
Locke looked at the two beauties beside Cheng Yu and smiled. "Boss Cheng Yu is really rich—with two foreign beauties accompanying him."
"I bought them to help with chores. Don't think too much," Cheng Yu said.
"Really? I don't believe it."
Locke didn't believe Cheng Yu's reason at all.
Buy two beautiful slaves and do nothing—either impotent or a eunuch.
"If you don't believe it, forget it."
Cheng Yu patted Mina's shoulder. "Mina, don't you like digging? They need soil to build a large baking oven. Go help them dig."
"Hahaha! I'm best at digging!"
Mina immediately became interested, rolled up her sleeves, and looked like she was going to do a big job.
There's nothing more interesting in the world than digging!
"Boss Cheng Yu, where do you want to build the baking oven?" Locke asked.
The manor covered an area of several thousand square meters. There were over a hundred acres of farmland in front of the manor. A large baking oven only needed dozens of square meters.
"Build it there."
Cheng Yu pointed to an open space outside the stable.
"No problem! With the help of this orc lady, it should be built today."
The labor of an orc was equivalent to two or three ordinary adult humans.
Mina followed several masons to build a large baking oven.
Cheng Yu went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Ivennie sat in the garden to study magic books.
In the kitchen, a fire was burning in the stove.
"Hey~ Cheng Yu~"
Someone patted Cheng Yu's shoulder from behind.
Cheng Yu turned his head and saw Aphra standing behind him, wearing a white dress, long black hair, black pupils—looked no different from ordinary humans.
"Why did you get up so early today?" Cheng Yu asked.
Aphra usually didn't eat breakfast and slept until noon. He didn't know why she woke up so early today.
"I'm hungry. I woke up because of hunger."
Aphra had a blank expression.
"Will vampires also wake up because of hunger?"
"Of course."
"By the way, I've always had a doubt. When you vampires are hungry, do you suck your own blood? The sucked blood is converted into your own blood. Can this form a perfect cycle?"
Aphra was a bit speechless. "Can you form a perfect cycle by eating your own shit when you're hungry?"
"Uh... I can't, but someone can. I won't say who it is."
Cheng Yu smiled embarrassedly and didn't say anything else.
"Make me some stir-fried blood. I like your stir-fried blood the most!"
Aphra looked at Cheng Yu expectantly.
Stir-fried blood—nicknamed the vampire trap.
Aphra had gone home with Cheng Yu largely because she was attracted by the dish of stir-fried blood.
"Want to eat?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Yeah!"
Aphra nodded expectantly.
"If you want to eat, go light a fire. Otherwise, you'll eat for free?"
Cheng Yu wasn't Aphra's servant. If she wanted to eat stir-fried blood, she had to help.
"What's so difficult about lighting a fire?"
Snap~
Aphra was a bit disdainful. With a light snap of her fingers, a raging fire instantly ignited in the stove.
"Damn! How did you do that?"
Cheng Yu had learned first-tier magic Fireball before, but Fireball was offensive magic and couldn't be used for cooking.
"It's just simple fire control magic."
Snap~
Aphra snapped her fingers again. The fire in the stove became smaller.
"High fire, medium fire, low fire—you can control it as you like."
"So convenient! Are you a walking gas stove?"
