Erina seriously suspected that this guy was deliberately messing with her. After all, didn't he know how good her cooking was and how tempting her food was? Why would he pull out a drink when she was already full? Wasn't he forcing her to commit a crime? If she drank it, she would definitely be stuffed.
So at this point, I had no choice but to reluctantly say I wouldn't drink it.
Lin Qi didn't seem to care about the other party's rejection, and instead slowly spoke:
"I made this on purpose because I knew you were stuffed. This stuff helps with digestion, and it even works while you're drinking it, so your stomachs won't feel so full. Are you sure you don't want it? If not, I'll take it away."
At this moment, Lin Qi explained the effects to the two of them. The two of them were stunned when they heard this, but then their eyes lit up and they drank it without hesitation. It was sweet and sour. Although they couldn't tell what the ingredients were, it was really delicious.
Once the drink entered my mouth, it seemed to come alive and automatically flowed into my body, into my stomach, and my originally full stomach felt much more comfortable at that moment.
It's as if the contents inside are being dissolved by something.
A minute after they finished their drinks, the two looked at Lin Qi with surprise.
"What is this? It tastes sweet and sour, but I can't tell what kind of juice it is."
Erina looked puzzled. She didn't think she had ever tasted anything like this before, and apart from a few things she could recognize, she had no idea what most of it was.
Hisako also spoke up with a puzzled look on her face.
"I could taste sour plum and three kinds of Chinese medicine in it; I couldn't taste anything else."
Hisako's face showed a look of doubt at this moment. She could indeed taste the Chinese medicine, but there were only three kinds, and they were very faint. If she hadn't just happened to have used it yesterday, she really wouldn't have been able to taste it at first.
After they each finished sharing their feelings, they both looked at the man with puzzled expressions.
The look in his eyes seemed to be asking for an explanation of what they were drinking. Why did he give that impression?
Lin Qi then slowly began to explain.
"You really can't get your hands on this; it's an ingredient from somewhere else."
Erina understood instantly, and a helpless expression appeared on her face.
What did Hisako want to say? She only saw her young mistress call her name once, shake her head, and mean to say not to ask.
Hisako understood instantly, so she could only feel a little regretful. After all, this stuff was very useful for people who had overeaten, and it seemed to not only help eliminate waste from the body but also benefit the body. So she wanted to research it further and see if it could be used in medicinal cuisine.
It seems I won't be able to get the ingredients, so I have to give up on that idea, which is quite a shame.
"Forget it, only someone like you could get your hands on it."
Erina banished the thought of finding this thing from her mind while she was in the Divine Power Department, knowing full well that she shouldn't even have that thought.
I've already sold myself for this cream, and now they want more? Can't I afford this? Of course, I know what I'll have to pay, it's just a few things.
I really didn't want to abandon my principles like this, so I had to grit my teeth and bear it. After all, the impact this thing had on me was far less than that of the cream. Maybe this thing was just something to help with digestion, which is why it didn't have such a strong impact on me.
After Erina finished eating and drinking, she planned to take a bath. At that moment, Lin Qi finished packing his things and came directly between the two of them. He then used teleportation, and the two found themselves in a hot spring.
"I know you two want to take a bath, so why don't you just go for a soak in the hot spring?"
Erina:. . .
Fei Sha Sha:. . .
As the scene shifted before them, and considering the other person's explanation, the two initially thought it was quite nice. Then their second thought was that this person was about to cause trouble.
Neither of them were fools; everyone knew what Lin Qi's intentions were in being so enthusiastic in bringing them to the hot springs.
I've known what this person wants to do for the past two years, but after hearing the other person's words that sounded like they were thinking of the man, I didn't know what to say.
Erina is quite straightforward and directly exposed someone's lie.
"Come on, if you're really that kind of person and just want us to soak in the hot springs, then you've already achieved your goal. Now you can get lost."
Erina didn't hesitate to tell them to get out, saying that if they wanted them to soak in the hot spring, they had already accepted the gesture, and now they could leave.
Lin Qi said that this guy was ungrateful and didn't know what he wanted to do.
Thinking of this, I didn't hold back anymore. I picked her up in a princess carry and threw her into the water. With a splash, she was soaked to the bone, her clothes and all.
After Erina got up, she looked at her own appearance, feeling her whole body soaking wet, and glared at someone with gritted teeth.
"Damn it, you're forcing me to fight you to the death."
What does Erina mean at this moment? No, her only thought is to kill this guy. Only one of them can live today.
Lin Qi ignored the other's aggressive gestures and looked at the other one with a clear meaning in his eyes: either he obediently went down, or he would throw him down.
Hisako knew she was doomed after receiving that threatening look, so she could only sigh and blush as she went down to the hot springs as usual. It was better to do it herself than to be thrown in by someone else.
Chapter 752 If you don't want Alice to come and be an audience, then be quiet.
When Erina saw her little secretary so obediently choosing to soak in the hot spring, she felt like the sky had fallen. She didn't know why, but she felt betrayed. Normally, shouldn't you be standing with me to defeat the Great Demon King and resist his tyranny? Instead, you chose to betray me and obediently listen to me?
Erina felt an urge to cry at that moment, as if she was surrounded by spies and undercover agents, and not a single one of them was one of her own.
"Hisako, how... how can you be so obedient?"
Hisako sighed after hearing what the young lady said, and then spoke in a helpless tone.
"Miss Erina, accept reality. This is the situation. We have no choice."
Hisako knew perfectly well that she had no choice in the current situation, so why do something so foolish as to fight a losing battle? Wouldn't it be better to just obediently comply? That way, she wouldn't cause herself any trouble. And the important thing was that although she was indeed the young lady's personal secretary, this was also the person she was going to marry in the future, so she was caught in the middle, which was very difficult, wasn't it? Besides, given their relationship, they certainly wouldn't do anything unnecessary at a time like this; she knew how to read the room.
Hisako promptly found a reason for 027's betrayal.
After all, my inner thought was simply that I was caught in the middle and in a dilemma, so I simply made up an excuse for myself: we're all on the same side, so let's just treat it as a little playful squabble.
Erina isn't some idiot, how could she not understand? It seems her own secretary was poached by some bastard, poached by some unreasonable means.
Normally, I should unconditionally support whatever you do, but I absolutely refuse to believe that this freakish situation isn't biased towards this guy surnamed Lin.
Erina felt utterly helpless as she thought about it. What kind of crazy methods did this guy use? He managed to get his secretary, who had been by his side since childhood, to side with the other party.
It's impossible that Hisako would have her heart stolen by him in just one time, right?
Erina thought helplessly at this moment, but she could only accept this reality. There was nothing she could do but accept it. However, deep down she was determined not to give up so easily. She had only lost by a small margin for now, and she was determined to get her revenge.
All I can do now is cooperate with these two guys. After all, it's really unpleasant to see them leaning against each other so harmoniously. I also know I have no outside help, so I took off my soaking wet clothes and sat on the other side to soak.
Erina only realized what she was doing after she sat down. Shouldn't she be sitting on the other side? Why was she sitting so close to this jerk? She should know that she was angry because she had been tricked.
Erina felt terrible after thinking about this. She seemed to subconsciously lean towards the other side of this guy, and the important thing was that there was another person next to him.
At this moment, Erina was torturing herself internally, wondering how she had become like this.
Lin Qi didn't care what this guy was thinking. He simply put one arm around each of his shoulders, looking like he had two women on his arms, indicating that this was life, this was a comfortable life.
"I feel like this is what life should be like: comfortable, able to do whatever I want, and do whatever I want."
Erina didn't know how to respond after hearing this. Well, only this guy can act like this. If it were anyone else, they would have to behave like a good kid.
"Erina, let me rub your back."
At this moment, Lynch suddenly spoke up, offering to serve the queen, but his good intentions were cruelly rejected.
"No, I don't need your help."
At this moment, Erina shook her head frantically like a rattle-drum, indicating that she was asking for a joke and that she would never dare to let this guy help her. As for his so-called "helping to scrub her back," those who know, know exactly how he scrubbed her back.
"Oh, don't be so polite, it's all I should do."
Lin Qi had no intention of letting the other party go at this point, but he encountered fierce resistance. The two engaged in an extreme struggle, and eventually, one of them forcefully pinned the other down and even made a threatening remark.
"I'm trying to help you out of kindness, and if you don't need it, it's like breaking my heart. If you break my heart, don't blame me for slapping you a few times right now. You should know very well how I slap you here, right?"
When Erina heard this after being pinned down by someone, she realized how this bastard had slapped her, and when she thought about her current position, she understood exactly how he had slapped her.
"You bastard, all you do all day is threaten me, what else can you do? You domineering bastard."
At this moment, Erina started ranting excitedly, saying that this guy was too domineering and all he did every day was threaten her not to be human.
Lin Qi didn't care at all about the other party's insults. That's right, I'm laying my cards on the table, I'm not pretending anymore, I really only know how to threaten you, if you're not happy, then bite me.
"Hmm, I don't deny what you said. It's true that I only threaten you, but you still have to obediently let me threaten you. And most importantly, I'll make you feel good this time, okay? My body scrubbing skills are top-notch."
"Many people outside would love to invite you but can't, so I'm giving you a free invitation now, you can be secretly happy about it."
As Lin Qi finished speaking, he couldn't help but slap his hand. The loud slap instantly echoed around someone who was arrogant or conceited. At that moment, he realized something, his face turned red, and he seemed to have an urge to turn around and fight someone.
"You bastard, you actually dared to hit me! I'm going to fight you to the death, you bastard!"
At this moment, Erina decided she was going to fight this bastard to the death. She thought he was just threatening her, but she never expected him to actually do it, especially in front of Hisako.
Honestly, I knew without the other person saying it that I couldn't let this go like this, being looked at with such strange eyes. I wasn't done with this bastard.
Erina roared inwardly at that moment, but Lynch spoke lightly.
"If you don't want to keep getting beaten up, you'd better behave yourself if I call Alice over to watch."
Chapter 753 You don't want to be watched by Alice either, do you?
Erina looked like she was about to unleash her inner power and fight Lin Qi, who had hit her in front of her secretary, but then he spoke up lightly.
"You can keep causing trouble, but only if you're not afraid I'll call Alice over to join us. If that happens, you can continue. I'm sure Alice won't refuse my bath invitation. After all, she can also enjoy watching you get beaten up. Compared to me seeing you naked and taking advantage of you, the other person would be more willing to watch you get beaten up."
Erina stopped struggling at this moment, but the expression on her face was as if she was about to grind her teeth to pieces.
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Erina's mind, one of which was to bite this bastard to death. Didn't you want to cooperate with this guy while you were sober? Fine, fine, I'll cooperate with you next time. But don't blame me if it leaves you with psychological trauma.
At this moment, Erina has entered her dark state. If someone is not human, then don't blame yourself for turning dark.
Lin Qi seemed to sense what the other person was thinking, and even felt his little darling's coolness instantly made him realize what this guy was thinking: he wanted to get revenge on him.
Lynch said he'd give you a chance to get revenge, but only if you're capable.
Lin Qi said, "It's not that I look down on you, but a weakling like you really can't get revenge on me."
Lin Qi was quite confident in himself, so he didn't take the idea of someone wanting to take revenge on him seriously at all.
Especially based on the chilly feeling, you can roughly understand what the other person is thinking. You can only say you're overthinking it. This guy can't take advantage of your body. If he breaks his teeth, you'll have nowhere to cry.
Lin Qi had already decided that if the other party broke his teeth, he would directly mock him to death.
Although Lin Qi was thinking this, his hands were not slow. He honestly started to take care of the other person and massage them. At first, the other person was sullen and unwilling, but later he seemed to turn into a lump of mud and looked like he was laughing comfortably to the heavens.
Moreover, during the registration process, I made some shameless remarks, and quite loudly at that.
Hisako swallowed hard after seeing her young mistress's performance, feeling a little scared, since the other party's behavior was really too unbearable.
However, I'm also curious to try it out and see what it feels like.
At this moment, Lin Qi also extended an invitation to the secretary.
"Alright, it's your turn."
