A Little Lamb? No, It's a Juicer!

Ling Feng was already awake, but the scene before him felt somewhat dreamlike. To be honest, he had no idea what he had been thinking last night. He had actually slept with Rita, one of Schicksal's three S-rank Valkyries, and...

If he remembered correctly, he had injected energy three times too. It probably... wouldn't cause any problems, right...

Ling Feng suddenly thought of the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of humanity. It was so empty, so lonely. Only warm thighs could comfort the soul, but...

After glancing at Rita, Ling Feng simply could not understand why she could take off everything else but would rather die than remove her stockings...

Forget it, there was no need to dwell on that for now. He checked the time. It was already past six. Given Mei's habits, she should be waking up soon. If Mei saw this...

Ling Feng glanced at Rita and saw that she was still asleep. So, should he make a run for it first? They could discuss everything else once she woke up!

But after Ling Feng turned around, he suddenly thought that if he just ran off like this, Rita might kill him. Besides... even if he still did not understand why Rita had done this, now that they had crossed that line, he definitely could not simply ignore her. Even subconsciously, he would treat her as one of his own...

But if he did not leave, and Mei came looking for him, she might very well enter her Herrscher form directly!

Speaking of which, could S-rank Valkyrie Rita beat Mei in her Pseudo-Herrscher state? She might be able to win, but capturing Mei alive would probably be difficult. So it was best not to let Mei find out...

Damn it, what had he done? This was going to be a huge problem...

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Ling Feng felt someone hug him from behind...

"Captain, are you awake so early?"

Well, there was no need to guess that it was Rita. Her arms draped around Ling Feng's neck as her lips pressed against his ear. "Well, it's still early. Shall we continue?"

Ling Feng: "..." Excuse himself, no thanks!

"Stop fooling around. Since you're awake, I have something I want to ask you!" Ling Feng gently pushed Rita away, then turned around and sat facing her. Though they were completely exposed to each other, it no longer mattered now!

"Tsk, honestly..."

Rita clicked her tongue disdainfully, but obediently let go of Ling Feng. Then she said, "Captain, feel free to ask whatever you wish. But there is one thing I will not tell you. Still, you can rest assured, Captain. Rita will always stand on your side, and she belongs to you as well!"

Ling Feng: "..."

There was no need to guess what Rita was referring to. She had already mentioned it last night...

"Then do you really not regret doing this?"

Though it was already too late to ask that question, and though he could probably guess Rita's answer, Ling Feng still wanted to hear her say it herself. "After all, you're an S-rank Valkyrie!"

"Of course I don't regret it. On the contrary, Captain should be the one regretting it..." Rita revealed a mysterious smile...

"Regret it?"

Ling Feng paused, then smiled confidently. "Are you kidding? How could I regret it? I practically made a killing by getting an S-rank Valkyrie. Not only do I get her body, I get her strength too. Why would I regret it?"

"That's true..."

Rita lightly curled a finger against the corner of her lips and smiled again. "Then, Captain, are you accepting me?"

"If I said I wanted to pretend nothing happened, what would you do?" Ling Feng rolled his eyes at Rita. Wasn't that question obvious?

"Well..."

Rita hesitated before answering, "I would respect Captain's wishes and treat this as though it never happened!"

"Really?"

Ling Feng looked a little doubtful. Though he did not intend to do that, Rita's words really made him suspicious...

"Of course it's true!"

Rita merely smiled, then said happily, "I would pretend I had never known Captain, then knock you unconscious in an accident, cripple all four of your limbs, and finally keep you at home, where only I could stay by your side..."

Ling Feng: "..."

"Miss Rita, don't worry. I will absolutely never betray you!"

Driven by an intense desire to survive, Ling Feng declared that he would never betray Rita. He truly could not understand this maid anymore. Who knew whether she was speaking the truth or joking...

"Well, Captain, saying something like that makes even Rita feel embarrassed. I was only joking. How could I bear to hurt you?"

Rita smiled as well, looking utterly well-behaved. No one could imagine that she was the same person who had just said those things...

Ling Feng: "..." That was exactly why she seemed dangerous. He had no idea what Rita was thinking. Suddenly, he felt as though he had gotten himself into quite a bit of trouble...

"Then, Rita, why did you come here? Don't tell me what you said yesterday was the truth?"

Setting that question aside, Ling Feng began asking Rita something else. For example, why had she come here? Rita had answered that question yesterday, but Ling Feng did not believe it had been the truth!

"Captain, what Rita said yesterday was the truth!"

Rita still wore her trademark smile as she lightly raised a hand. "However, I came here to look for a gift and investigate Anti-Entropy's movements while I was at it. Of course, the Bishop's most important order was to protect Kiana!"

"Kiana?"

Ling Feng froze. Kiana was Theresa's niece, and Theresa was Green Tuna's granddaughter. So Green Tuna had sent Rita to protect Kiana? That could not be right. Sending an S-rank Valkyrie over something like this was far too extravagant...

"Well, Captain, don't think so much. Let's continue..."

Rita suddenly pounced on Ling Feng. She licked her lips, her face full of hunger. "I was bullied terribly yesterday. Now, I'm going to get my revenge, Captain. Don't even think about running away!"

"Uh..."

Looking at Rita's glowing eyes, Ling Feng once again felt as if their roles had somehow been switched. But right now, he was worried. "Um, forget it. If Mei and the others... hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, Rita kissed him. When they slowly parted, a clear, glistening thread stretched between them. She laughed softly. "Captain, Sleeping Tea's effects can last until noon, so... we can keep going until noon!"

"No, Rita, calm down. We both need to calm down..."

Ling Feng was a little scared. This maid's combat power was terrifying. And it was only six in the morning. There were still six hours until noon. Who the hell could endure that?

"I'm not calming down!"

But Rita had no intention of letting Ling Feng go. She suddenly grabbed a crucial spot and smiled wickedly. "Have you forgotten how Captain treated me last night? You completely ignored my pleas for mercy. So this time, even if Captain begs, I won't stop... Just as I said yesterday, once meat reaches your mouth, you eat it clean down to the bone..."

Then Rita launched her counterattack. Yesterday's humiliation would be repaid tenfold today!

Loyal to my beliefs!

As long as Rita lives, Rita fights!

As long as life endures, the battle never stops!

I will lead the charge!

Never waver!

Charge!

Don't let go!

The maid's brilliance shall illuminate the whole world!

Come at me! You will die gloriously!

Ling Feng seemed to understand a little why Rita had told him not to regret it...

Tesla's Special Interview! (This Is Definitely Not a Plea for Subscriptions!)

Little A: "Ahem, hello everyone. I'm Little A. Seventeen chapters later, we meet again. Since an accident happened last time, we found someone who isn't a Valkyrie to interview this time!"

Tesla: "Then why did you pick me? My part of the story hasn't even started yet! I'm not popular at all. Also, weren't you blasted into scraps by Kiana?"

Little A: "Well, Mei and Bronya haven't woken up yet, Ling Feng and Rita are busy right now, so we could only make do with you. As for me, as long as the plot needs it, I can revive anytime!"

Tesla Tesla: "..." (This part was censored due to excessively intense language.)

Little A: "So, this book will be going premium tomorrow. What are your thoughts on that?"

Tesla: "No thoughts. If it flops, then let it flop. I'm just a filler character anyway. An author like this deserves to flop!"

Little A: "Uh... do you really think so?"

Tesla: "Of course! I'm so smart and so adorable, yet I'm not the main heroine. Just for that, it deserves to flop. Then he should restart with a new book, and I'll sponsor it next time. I should be the heroine!"

Little A: "Um... lastly, is there anything you want to say to everyone?"

Tesla: "Huh? The interview is ending already? I still have plenty to say!"

Little A: "Well, the author is busy grinding the blue-haired girl tonight, so he doesn't want to pad things out for too long. There will only be five chapters tomorrow too, so say what you want quickly!"

Tesla: "This... Hmph, listen up! Don't subscribe, and definitely don't vote for him. This author must flop! If any of you dare vote, subscribe, or send rewards, I'll... I'll personally come to your door and argue with you! Hmph, I'm done!"

Little A: "Ahem, the interview is over. Finally, according to an author who wishes to remain anonymous, monthly tickets are things only big shots need. As for rewards and blades, the more the better, so..."

99 blades for one extra chapter!

199 monthly tickets for one extra chapter!

9,999 in rewards for one extra chapter!

A limit? As a mighty master of trolling, do I need a limit?

(As a flop author, there's no need to set a limit anyway. It won't be much regardless, and I can still show off—punching nursing homes in the south and kicking kindergartens in the north!)

P.S. It's the end of the month. Since the author wants to spend 648 on a top-up, feel free to give whatever you can!

Little Lamb? No, This Was a Juice Extractor!

"Good afternoon, Captain. Lunch is ready!"

In his haze, Ling Feng seemed to hear Rita's voice. Who was he? Where was he? What had happened?

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Rita smiling at him. At the same time, Ling Feng discovered that he was in a new room, already dressed in his shirt and pants. Huh? When had he put them on?

"Captain!"

Rita smiled faintly. "Mei and the others are waiting for you in the private room you reserved. If getting up is inconvenient for you, I can inform them and bring lunch to you. What do you think?"

"No need... uh..."

Ling Feng hurriedly sat up, then suddenly felt an ache in his waist and weakness throughout his body. He felt even more exhausted than after beating that Judgment-class Honkai Beast. He had not expected the most terrifying thing not to be Honkai Beasts, but Rita...

"Pfft..."

Rita could not help laughing. Though it was rude, she truly wanted to laugh...

"Captain, do you need Rita to support you?"

Rita stepped half a pace closer, making as if to help Ling Feng up...

Ling Feng: "..." I want to die...

At that moment, Ling Feng only wanted to find somewhere to hide. This was far too embarrassing. This absolutely could not get out. If it did, where would his dignity be? He was a man who dreamed of building a harem, yet he could not even handle a single maid. It was too humiliating...

He had thought Rita was merely a little lamb, but after experiencing it, he abruptly realized that she was no little lamb at all. She was practically a juice extractor. Ling Feng no longer had any lingering attachment to this sort of thing...

Of course, Ling Feng did not dare blame Rita either, because the gap in their combat strength was far too great. In an actual fight, Rita, as an S-rank Valkyrie, would not fear him. And in the other kind of battle, he was even less of a match for her. What was he supposed to do from now on...

In the end, the strong-willed Ling Feng did not accept Rita's support and stood up on his own. His legs were still a little weak, but walking was not a problem. Still... he hoped no battle scenes appeared anytime soon, and that he did not run into any Honkai Beasts...

When he arrived at the living room of the other suite, a Japanese-style lunch had already been laid out on the table. Since the meals were individually portioned, Kiana and the others had already started eating. It was not like it would affect anything!

"Captain, didn't you sleep well last night? Why do you look so listless?"

The moment Mei saw Ling Feng, her attentiveness immediately picked up that something was off about him. It was not that there was anything particularly different about him. It was simply a feeling, as though Ling Feng was not quite himself!

"Uh... a little!"

Naturally, Ling Feng did not dare tell the truth. Forcing a smile, he said, "I don't know whether it's just me, but I'm not used to sleeping on hard beds. I nearly had insomnia last night..."

"Then Captain should have said something last night!"

Mei looked somewhat worried as she watched Ling Feng. "The owner definitely has bedding. Captain could have told me!"

"Y-Yeah... I understand..."

Ling Feng did not want to talk to Mei right now. He could not help it. He felt guilty...

"Captain, would you like some tea?"

Rita poured Ling Feng a cup of tea, but this time it was not black tea. It was Fragrant Tea. As she poured, the maid explained, "This is Fragrant Tea originating from highland peoples. It can strengthen the body and nourish the stomach, and it can also increase one's appetite. A cup before a meal is quite effective!"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng picked up the teacup and sniffed it. It really was fragrant, but...
