Lin Yu gazed at Esdeath with a dying look, and even she couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she did as he said.

"so?"

Esdeath pressed her fair little hand against her equally fair and delicate cheek, completely baffled as to what the point of doing so was.

"Repeat this one last time, this is my final request!"

Lin Yu felt he was about to give up, but he had to persevere until he saw the final victory!

"Just repeat the last word after me—Meow~!"

Lin Yu was the first to demonstrate, gently tapping his half-clenched fist down on his cheek, and then making a sound that a normal grown man would never attempt.

Meow~?

Esdeath did as she was told, her voice rising slightly in confusion because she didn't understand the meaning of doing so. This was originally just a subconscious tone of hers, but for Lin Yu it was almost the bullseye. What could be more tempting than a sadistic queen dressed as a cat-eared maid, meowing and acting cute?

Lin Yu's nose seemed to burst open, gushing out crimson liquid. In his last moments, only one sentence echoed in his mind.

"My life has been worthwhile..."

221. A hearty meal [two-in-one]

"Looks like you quite like me this way?"

Although Esdeath didn't know the meaning of the strange clothes she was wearing, she could tell from Lin Yu's eyes that something was definitely wrong. His strange gaze made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Mmm, so cute!"

Lin Yu covered his nose and got up from the ground, giving himself a thumbs up. He was sincerely grateful to Gaia for sending him to the present before the start of the story. Otherwise, how would he have had the chance to fool Esdeath, who had not yet truly grown up?

If it really comes to the point where the story begins, there's absolutely no way that the mature version of Esdeath would wear a maid outfit and cat ears. Lin Yu is certain of that!

"I see..."

Esdeath's lips curled slightly as she grabbed the tail sewn onto her skirt. By the time Lin Yu reacted and tried to stop her, Esdeath had already chopped the lively tail off at the root with a short sword...

"How could it be like this?"

Lin Yu, on the verge of tears, knelt in the snow, cradling the gloriously sacrificed tail, mourning the adorable cat-eared girl who would never return. He knew he could forget about ever getting Esdeath to wear this kind of cosplay outfit again…

"Tch, boring."

Esdeath turned and walked away, her flowing, ice-blue hair smearing Lin Yu's face.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Lin Yu dropped the tail and chased after her. Although it might be difficult for cat-eared girls, don't forget that Esdeath's tribe was buried by Lin Yu with snow. She has no other clothes to wear. If she wants to change clothes in the future, she'll have to get them from him.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu threw the 'sadness' of the previous second to the winds. He couldn't dress up as a cat-eared girl anymore, but his private collection still contained a lot of nurse uniforms, teacher uniforms, and all kinds of cute cosplay outfits. In short, it was the kind of collection that would take a normal person until they were old to change into a different outfit every day.

"I'm hungry, let's go hunting."

Esdeath glanced at Lin Yu with an air of self-righteousness.

"But you're not heading in the direction we dropped our prey, are you?"

Lin Yu still remembered the dragon Esdeath killed half a day ago; it was so big that it would probably keep them eating for a long time.

"Are you stupid?" Esdeath looked at Lin Yu with disdain. Because she was still wearing a maid outfit, she had the air of an arrogant maid.

"I smashed that dragon's head, and the stench of blood should have already attracted all the predators around. It's too late to go there now."

"It can't be that fast, it's such a big one!"

Lin Yu blurted out, only to be met with a disdainful look from Esdeath: "If you're willing to eat what Dangerous Species have left over, then I have no objection."

Lin Yu thought about it and realized it was true. Besides, there were many kinds of dangerous species. Even if he didn't mind, he still had to consider whether they were poisonous. Although he had the convenient ability of Holy Healing, relying on it too much was not a good habit. So he decided to forget about it. Anyway, with his and Esdeath's strength, they could roast even super dangerous species if they encountered them.

Of course, the number of super dangerous species is quite small, and their strength is extremely high. It's really not worth it to fight a super dangerous species just to have a meal, and you might even have to activate your Black Flame Mode.

"Okay, okay, you decide."

Lin Yu shrugged. He didn't have any survival skills in the wild. It was better to leave hunting to professionals. All the creatures in this world were unfamiliar to Lin Yu. He couldn't just kill and eat everything he came across, could he? He wasn't the man at the top of the food chain.

"Ok?"

A sharp cry came from the sky, and a giant eagle with a wingspan of more than five meters swooped down on Lin Yu and Esdeath, who were walking forward, clearly regarding them as prey.

"Looks like our dinner is sorted out."

Although the dangerous species in this world cannot be distinguished solely by their size, the higher the level of the dangerous species, the more terrifying their abilities. The fact that this eagle in front of her still needs to rely on its size to hunt clearly indicates that it is only a low-level dangerous species. Esdeath glanced at it and lost interest.

"It's just an ordinary eagle, nothing of great value, but it tastes pretty good."

Although Esdeath's tribe lived a secluded life, they would bring some precious prey to nearby towns every six months or so to sell in exchange for supplies that they could not provide for themselves. For example, the clothes Esdeath was wearing before were not made by her tribe. They could only make leather clothes at best, so they had to rely on bartering.

The enormous eagle in the sky was less than fifty meters away from them, yet the two were still chatting casually. If the eagle were smart enough, it would have noticed something was wrong by now. Unfortunately, it was merely a low-level dangerous species with a very poor intelligence. It judged the threat level of its prey entirely based on size, and naturally categorized people like Lin Yu and Esdeath as prey.

"Shall we do it, or should we?"

Lin Yu raised his hand, and a crystal-clear ice crystal appeared in his palm. He could easily kill the stupid eagle by throwing this ice crystal, but Esdeath shook her head.

"Although she's a bit too weak, let me do it!"

As she spoke, Esdeath drew the short sword strapped to her slender leg. With a confident and arrogant smile, she leaped towards the swooping eagle. As they passed each other, the short sword accurately and efficiently pierced the giant eagle's body. Under the force of their impact, she cleanly sliced ​​the giant eagle in two without even exerting any effort. The corpse, still in a diving posture, fell into the snow on either side of Lin Yu, while a deluge of blood poured down on Lin Yu.

"Luckily, I was prepared."

Lin Yu smiled shrewdly. He had sensed Esdeath's intentions when she made her move. Before the blood was poured over him like water, he had already raised a thin layer of ice crystals to shield himself, and was not stained by the blood at all.

"whispering sound!"

Esdeath spat upon seeing this, seemingly slightly annoyed by the failure of her plan.

"Can't you even make an excuse?"

Lin Yu helplessly shrugged. It was still a bit hurt to be treated like this by a girl who had just emerged from her loli stage.

"Go gather some firewood nearby. You should be able to handle that small task, right?"

Esdeath glanced at Lin Yu, gave a 'command', and walked towards the eagle that had slid a long way across the snow and was now split in two. Lin Yu now seriously doubted whether she had planned to split it in half beforehand.

"Yes, yes, you're in charge!"

With his icy blue wings spread behind him, Lin Yu realized he hadn't seen any usable timber nearby, so he decided to fly to a higher place to take a look.

By the time Lin Yu returned with a pile of timber, it was already dark. Although he wasn't bad at directions, he looked pretty much the same in the freezing cold, and it took him a lot of effort to find his way back.

"So slow!"

Lin Yu had barely landed when he heard Esdeath's somewhat resentful voice. Despite being a homebody in the past, Lin Yu still had basic discernment. He clearly saw Esdeath breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing him.

"Are you afraid I'll never come back?"

Lin Yu smiled brightly. Esdeath's behavior clearly showed that she had begun to develop a sense of dependence on him!

Of course, Lin Yu still has basic self-awareness. It can only be said that the opportunity for him to meet Esdeath was indeed rare. It just so happened that she met Esdeath during a period of confusion when her tribe was completely wiped out and she lost her pillar. If it had been any later, Esdeath would probably have gotten used to being alone, and it would have been too difficult to have any deeper interaction with her at that time.

Lin Yu, at least, didn't think he had the kind of innocent smile that Tatsumi possessed to capture the heart of this sadistic queen.

Well, although he's more inclined to believe it's just due to the protagonist's halo.

"What do you say?"

Esdeath glared at Lin Yu. She wasn't the tsundere type. If she were, she would probably blush and argue back. But this future sadistic queen wouldn't do that; she remained remarkably calm.

"Well, if you don't admit it, then we'll take it as an admission."

Lin Yu was determined to make the most of his shameless personality and thicken his skin so that he might be able to save his life in the upcoming battle of the agents.

As he spoke, Lin Yu emptied the wood from his spatial storage. Since he still had plenty of space in his personal storage, he had left a lot of spare wood in case he ran out of it later.

"What a convenient capability."

Esdeath was too lazy to continue arguing with Lin Yu, and her attention shifted to Lin Yu's various strange abilities.

"Speaking of which, why did your eye color change when we fought before?"

Esdeath's words only made Lin Yu blush, as he had cheated in the previous battle.

"Well, it's just a little ability. You know I have a lot of strange abilities, and this is one of them."

Lin Yu tried to steer the conversation away from the topic, but Esdeath was clearly intrigued.

"What's with those golden eyes? Why do I feel like they can see right through me?"

Lin Yu broke out in a cold sweat. How could she not be seen through? She could see right through her every move, even the slightest change in her expression. It was blatant cheating!

"Well, it's nothing."

Although the victory was not exactly honorable, Lin Yu was not so shameless as to lack the courage to admit it.

"It only means you can see the future one second from now..."

Esdeath, who was building a fire stand with the wood Lin Yu brought, crushed a piece of wood as thick as an arm in her hand, then squinted at Lin Yu.

"Oh? You can see the future a second from now? That's such a convenient ability!"

Just as Lin Yu was about to say something, Esdeath continued, "But never mind, that's part of your strength anyway. Since your goal is to improve your strength, you should take all kinds of abilities into account."

"However, in the future, you can only use one of those eye abilities or fire abilities, otherwise it will be completely useless for sparring with me."

Lin Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He couldn't help it; he felt a little guilty for bullying a young girl.

No matter how strong Esdeath becomes in the future, she is still just a little girl of about ten years old.

"Start a fire, my flint and steel fell somewhere while I was fighting you."

As they were talking, Esdeath had already set up the scaffold and turned to Lin Yu.

"oh oh."

However, to Esdeath's surprise, Lin Yu did not use his ability. Instead, he took out a small tool that she had never seen before, and flames appeared when he pressed it lightly.

"Is this also one of your abilities?"

Esdeath looked at Lin Yu curiously. The latter was too embarrassed to say that his flames could only freeze and not ignite. He couldn't possibly activate the Sin Flame state just for such a small matter, could he?

Although the power of the Flame of Sin has almost lost its threat after acquiring the Divine Healing spell, it still leaves some subtle changes after use. Therefore, Lin Yu tries to avoid using the Flame of Sin whenever possible.

Of course, the battle with Esdeath is different; that was laying the foundation for future battles. If I lose this war between agents, I'll lose my life, so what's the point of worrying about changes?

"That's it."
