Becoming a god by raising witches

"Alice, if you don't eat it, Little Ai will eat it all!"

Locke reminded him.

Alice then noticed that Eileen had already started eating spoonful after spoonful, leaving no room for her at all.

So Alice mustered her courage, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in her mouth.

The duck blood melts in your mouth, with a spicy and numbing flavor that stimulates your tongue and taste buds.

"This……"

Alice's face turned red from the spiciness, and she realized Locke's true intention in making this dish—it was clearly a punishment!

Vampires have all five senses different from ordinary people, including their sense of taste. So what is ordinary spiciness to Eileen is super spicy to Alice.

Alice, who had never been exposed to spicy food before, was so uncomfortable that she started flailing her arms and legs and her throat felt like it was on fire.

"Um, it seems this dish isn't quite right for you."

Locke looked at Alice, who was in distress, and concluded.

Alice rubbed her eyes and cried, "Waaah, I'll never do it again, waaah, there won't be a next time, I was wrong, Master, please don't punish me anymore."

Even Rebecca, seeing Alice in this state, had to say, "Poor thing."

Only Eileen seemed to be eating heartily; she couldn't quite understand why Alice was crying like that.

In preparation for the decisive moment three days later, Locke cleaned Alice's duck, removed its internal organs and head, and scalded the duck's entire body with boiling water five times to make the duck skin taut.

Then, evenly coat the duck with seasonings such as Sichuan peppercorn powder, five-spice powder, soy sauce, cooking wine, and salt, and marinate for 1-2 hours.

The marinated ducks are hung up to air dry, which usually takes more than 12 hours, while Locke's takes three days.

The next day, before Locke went to work, he evenly applied honey water to the dried duck and continued to let it air dry until the skin became shiny and shrunken.

Three days passed quickly.

Locke was well prepared, taking the dried duck down and putting it in the oven.

The heat was controlled manually, and after an hour, the duck was roasted to a deep orange-red color, with crispy skin, tender meat, and an irresistible aroma.

Locke took out the roast duck, sliced the duck meat into thin slices with a thin knife, arranged them on side dishes such as cucumber and scallions, served them with sweet bean sauce and prepared thin pancakes, and put them on the table.

Because the Tumen Times staff were all working overtime today to promote the Queen's appearance, neither Hannah nor Alice returned.

Only Eileen, Rebecca, and Locke were at the table.

Rebecca pouted and said with dissatisfaction, "We've been made to wait this long just for a duck?"

"This is for Xiao Ai, you don't have to eat it."

Locke wouldn't tolerate this demon. Lately, she's become addicted to bullying Alice, and she's getting all cocky. If he continues to indulge her, he's afraid she'll forget her role as a servant.

Eileen nodded slightly. "How do we eat it?"

Locke picked up a dough sheet, put the sliced duck meat inside, added cucumber, scallions, and sweet bean sauce, rolled it up, and handed it to Eileen.

Eileen opened her mouth and took a bite.

The dough is soft and chewy, the duck meat is tender and flavorful, rich but not greasy, and tastes excellent.

[Ding! Successfully fed the witch!]

[Witch favorability +1]

[Witch Irene Mostia's current favorability rating is 100]

The witch Irene Mostia would do anything for you.

finally come!

The favorability rating has reached 100!

The hint says that Eileen can do anything for you.

Locke decided to give it a try.

"Eileen, what do you think of me?"

Locke suddenly asked.

Eileen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that Locke had become more handsome.

Although he was once a handsome young man, in Eileen's eyes, there was not much difference between handsome and ugly; she was not a visual person.

But today, this feeling of having delicate features is especially noticeable.

Could it be because of this special roast duck dish?

“You look better than usual today; you are a competent servant.”

The proud Eileen praised.

Locke knew this was already her highest praise, so he continued to ask,

"If I keep cooking delicious food for you, would you be willing to follow me and become my most loyal servant?"

"Servant?"

Rebecca swallowed hard, suddenly realizing that Locke was being unusually brave today.

She began to anticipate Eileen's anger, which would then lead to Locke being thrown against the ceiling, then onto the floor, then against the wall, then onto the floor again, and then back to the ceiling, repeating this cycle over and over. She believed Locke would be so badly bruised and battered that he wouldn't dare to face anyone the next day.

However, Eileen only glanced at Locke indifferently.

"What did you say?"

"Let me be your cat servant for life."

Locke put it another way.

Eileen nodded slightly. "No problem."

"You must agree to three conditions."

Locke held up three fingers.

Rebecca swallowed again, hoping that Eileen would get angry and throw Locke out the window, so far that he would fly far away, and then come back to the bathroom with a long face.

However, Eileen simply said calmly,

"You said."

"First, you must never hurt my family. The only family I recognize right now is Hannah."

"Secondly, in critical moments, you must heed my... advice."

"Third, we will never stand on the opposite side of the enemy, and we can always entrust our backs to the other side with confidence."

Locke said seriously.

Eileen thought for a moment.

Locke and Rebecca both tensed up.

Locke only breathed a sigh of relief when Eileen nodded.

It seems that achieving 100% favorability is indeed the key to defeating the witch.

Rebecca frowned. "Strange, very strange, extremely strange. Why isn't the witch angry? Isn't this tantamount to pledging allegiance to Locke Bemon?"

"Although I don't know why I agreed to this, I will keep my promise. I will not deal with Hannah for the time being, unless it is absolutely necessary and she threatens our lives."

Eileen said slowly.

"it is good."

Locke nodded.

"Is there something wrong with this roast duck?"

"Eileen asked."

Locke shook his head. "No problem, you can eat it without worry."

Eileen nodded slightly, and following Locke's example, rolled up a piece of roast duck and put it in her mouth.

"Locke."

"Xiao Ai?"

You have to promise me one thing too.

Eileen looked up at Locke.

"it is good."
