Some people seemed reluctant to leave; a gaunt woman desperately tried to grab Luo Xiu's hand.
But Tassanya pushed him to the ground.
Unexpectedly, the woman who fell to the ground burst into tears.
The others who witnessed this scene remained indifferent, as if it were commonplace.
They all led their relatives, who were cooking for them, back into those houses.
Only the woman who had collapsed to the ground continued to weep incessantly.
Finally, the woman's husband seemed unable to bear it any longer, and he limped over and dragged her back home.
"Feel sorry……"
That husband was different from the others. When he passed by Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu smelled a familiar scent on him.
Bloody smell.
The smell of blood belonging to monsters.
Luo Xiu glanced at him and memorized the location of his house.
"My lord, come and eat."
The chosen woman with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks approached, smiling obsequiously, as if she wanted to show Luo Xiu her best side.
Beside him, the old beggar, whose shoulder Luo Xiu was gripping, grinned, revealing a few loose teeth:
"Sir, I'll come along too. You're the one I brought in."
"Fuck you!"
The woman with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks rushed forward and shoved the old man hard, trying to knock him over.
"There wasn't even enough food for four people to share, and you made a mistake but still wanted to interfere!"
But the old man wasn't pushed over; Luo Xiu grabbed his shoulder firmly.
"It's okay, let's go together."
Luo Xiu smiled and said:
"Dinner is more fun with more people, you know."
Chapter 71 These mushrooms are absolutely delicious! (Please continue reading) (2800 words)
Seeing Luo Xiu say this.
Although the woman with the pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to agree.
Luo Xiu, along with Leila and the others, followed the woman to her husband's side.
The old beggar followed at the back, grinning from ear to ear.
"Greetings, sirs. Please come inside. The food will be ready soon."
The husband grinned.
He seemed to want to appear friendly, but his fleshy face lacked any warmth; in fact, his smile only accentuated his menacing nature.
Luo Xiu and the others entered the room with the woman.
The old beggar, for some reason, stayed outside and moved closer to the man with a fierce face.
"Isn't he coming in?"
Luo Xiu asked the woman.
"Him? He'd love to get his hands on the pot and see for himself."
The woman rolled her eyes, her tone sarcastic and unsettling.
"You're so hungry."
Luo Xiu said with a smile.
"Yes."
Realizing she had almost said something wrong, the woman's eyes darted around, and she smiled as she spoke:
"Please don't mind, sir. That old man couldn't steal much food. My wife was watching him from the side."
Luo Xiu smiled and nodded.
Beside him.
Leila, being the most tacit, knew her master's style well and cooperated by showing a curious look, blinking her big eyes and looking left and right.
Milair, the most intelligent of the group, also figured it out. He remained silent, simply lowering his head and closing his eyes to rest.
Only Tassanya, although she knew there wouldn't be any problems, her acting skills were really lacking.
She had her back to everyone.
Luo Xiu could hear her powerful breathing; she was trying to suppress the murderous intent in her heart.
Luo Xiu shook his head helplessly. This guy was good at doing rough work, but he was still a bit lacking when it came to delicate work.
Fortunately, the woman opposite could not tell the difference from the sound of her breathing. She was focused on the doorway, seemingly waiting for her husband to serve the food.
suddenly,
A fierce fight broke out outside the door.
It sounded like someone was slashing with a knife, the clash of blades making a loud clanging sound.
"Has something happened? Should we go out and check?"
Luo Xiu asked.
"No!"
The woman stood up agitatedly and tried to dissuade her:
"No need, please wait here for a moment, it will be ready soon."
Sure enough, after a while,
The fighting outside the door stopped.
The door was opened from the outside, and the woman's husband stood outside, covered in wounds, holding two covered dishes.
The old beggar followed behind him, limping; he had been crippled by someone.
The two dishes smelled delicious; Luo Xiu could smell them even through the lids.
The fragrance seemed to possess some kind of magic, emanating from beneath the lid and desperately trying to penetrate Luo Xiu's nose.
Gulu!
My stomach is rumbling.
It belongs to Leila and Tassanya.
Luo Xiu looked at the system panel in his eyes.
Before him appeared the panels for Leila and Tassanya.
This is the effect of LV.4 [Slavery].
In addition to adding an extra slot for Mireille to become a member of the family, a simplified panel for each of his members was also added.
The panel displays the six attributes, rank, strength, and status of each member.
For example, Leila and Tassanya's current condition shows that their mental resistance is impaired.
Luo Xiu knew that neither Leila nor Tassanya were good at mental resistance.
Leila's strengths in the six-dimensional chart are strength, speed, and magic, while Tassanya's strength and physique are particularly outstanding.
But they are all at the third rank after all.
I never imagined that just two dishes could damage their mental resilience.
The residents of Red Mushroom Town certainly have their own methods, otherwise they wouldn't be able to attract customers so easily.
It should be noted that in Luo Xiu's eyes, with the [Judgment] activated, this couple was only at the first rank, while the other didn't even have a rank.
"Sir, let's begin the meal."
The woman smiled.
She heard someone's stomach growl and reached out to lift the lid of the dish.
But Luo Xiu stopped him by pressing his hand down.
"There's no rush yet."
Luo Xiu smiled.
"You still haven't told me about the people who died outside town?"
"Let's eat first, and talk while we eat."
The woman laughed, and with her other hand reached out to lift the lid.
bass!
Milair's dagger fell and stuck in the table, half a meter away from the woman's hand.
Beside them, Leila and Tassanya were also poised to act, though they felt a strange hunger and remained conscious.
The woman's husband stood at the door, his burly hand reaching for the kitchen knife at his waist.
Luo Xiu smiled and waved his hand:
"Don't be so nervous, it's just a meal..."
As Luo Xiu finished speaking, the atmosphere seemed to ease somewhat.
The woman and her husband both breathed a sigh of relief.
But Luo Xiu changed the subject:
"We are guests after all, so why don't you two eat first?"
