I really didn't want to burn it.

Li Ang shuddered. "Let's forget about cold-blooded animals."

[Host, you must believe in the infinite possibilities of the human body! Use your body heat to let Gorgon feel the warmth of love!]

"I'm more inclined to believe that a person's XP system has its limits and that they can't do things beyond those limits. Rather than having an indescribable sexual relationship with a snake, I'd rather touch a normal girl inappropriately."

As he spoke, Li Ang squatted down and looked down at Niu Ruowan, who was still unconscious.

"For example, this lovely little girl."

Li Ang gently poked Niu Ruowan's cheek with his finger.

"Hmm...she probably won't wake up, right?"

Ushiwakamaru lay there motionless, seemingly feeling nothing at all.

"OK~ Next..."

Li Ang cautiously reached his hand toward Niu Ruowan's chest.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Just a second before Li Ang was about to touch Niu Ruowan's chest, DD appeared "on time".

“Exploring science.” Although Li Ang stopped what he was doing, his expression was unusually sacred. “DD, we cannot judge certain actions by worldly standards, but must verify the objective existence of things from a scientific and technological perspective. Knowing this truth may lead to tremendous development in the clothing industry and the film rating industry. At that time, the whole world will thank me for this great discovery!”

"Are you saying you're being a pervert?" DD retorted coldly.

"No, it's scientific exploration!"

Li Ang firmly refuted this, but no matter how you looked at it, he was just being stubborn.

Seeing its owner looking down, ready to continue its "scientific exploration," DD smirked and delivered a chop to the head.

"speak English."

"This is the second time I've heard this today. Is what I'm saying really that hard to understand?"

Faced with DD's increasingly serious gaze, Li Ang could only manage a couple of dry laughs.

"Okay, I just want to know how this girl's chest is secured."

"I'll figure it out."

DD picked up the unconscious Ushiwakamaru and headed towards their residence.

"Master, you stay right here!"

Watching the maid's departing figure, Li Ang muttered to himself, "Alright... as long as you can calm down this mad cow later."

Li Ang's guess was correct.

Just five minutes after DD left, he heard a girl scream in the distance, almost like being [beep]!

"Hey! Where are my clothes?! What are you doing?!"

Li Ang, whose ears were nearly torn apart by the screams, instinctively covered them.

"That's not Ushiwakamaru at all, it's Nightingale! Her voice is so shrill, it's almost shattering the glass."

[This is talent; you can't learn it, host.]

"I never wanted to learn this!"

A few minutes after the screams subsided, DD and Ushiwakamaru reappeared in front of Li Ang.

To Li Ang's surprise, Ushiwakamaru wasn't wearing her revealing combat armor, but rather DD's prepared maid outfit.

"You actually wore this?"

Li Ang asked with a look of wonder.

Ushiwakamaru stared at Li Ang, her face flushed red: "Is it not okay? My clothes are covered in slime, I can't wear them at all."

"Um...no...okay...I think it's okay."

Li Ang originally wanted to suggest that they could simply regenerate a new combat suit using magic, but at the maid's prompting look, he chose to remain silent.

"Master, about her clothes..."

DD whispered a couple of words in Li Ang's ear.

"Oh! I see, so this is the secret of the lid?"

As Li Ang nodded in sudden realization, his eyes remained fixed on Niu Ruowan's chest.

Ushiwakamaru felt extremely uncomfortable under Li Ang's gaze: "You two, master and servant, shouldn't go too far!"

If he weren't a prisoner, Ushiwakamaru swore he would have turned around and left!

"Sorry, sorry," Li Ang waved his hands repeatedly. "I'm just so happy because I found out about a problem that has been bothering me for a long time."

"I think you did this on purpose!"

Ushiwakamaru said through gritted teeth.

Despite being very unhappy with Li Ang, Ushiwakamaru did not throw a tantrum or run away.

While I was changing clothes, DD explained the current situation to Ushiwakamaru very clearly.

This is near the Temple of Blood, and the serpent monster that terrifies Ushiwakamaru is nearby.

If Ushiwakamaru tries to escape, he will be captured by that monster and raised as a beast.

Although Ushiwakamaru was not afraid of death, she did not want to die in vain.

On the battlefield, it takes courage to fight to the death against Gorgon in order to create an opportunity for one's comrades.

But to throw one's life away while already captured would be utterly foolish.

Therefore, unless he is absolutely certain of escaping, Ushiwakamaru will not act rashly.

Similarly, assassinating Leon, DD, or Gorgon wouldn't work, because she simply couldn't defeat them.

Having accepted reality, Ushiwakamaru sat on a rock not far from Li Ang, observing Li Ang and DD, the master and servant.

Ushiwakamaru was no stranger to the two of them.

She had heard Princess Fujimaru Ritsuka mention Li Ang more than once when they worked together before. Not to mention that she had even fought against Li Ang when he attacked the city walls last time.

To be honest, Ushiwakamaru's first impression of Li Ang was not good; in fact, it could be described as terrible.

Aside from being partly influenced by Mashu's dislike, the main reason was that during the last battle, Leon kept trying to take off his clothes.

Despite Li Ang's determination to protest his innocence, Ushiwakamaru was convinced that Li Ang was indeed a pervert.

Therefore, when Ushiwakamaru discovered that Li Ang did not pounce on her immediately after capturing her, but instead stared at the air (actually looking at the system pop-up), she found it very strange.

Seeing that Li Ang was ignoring her, Niu Ruowan couldn't help but tease, "Are you trying to see something beautiful in that weed?"

Li Ang was currently reviewing the various data about Tiamat that the system had deduced based on the original plot. Upon hearing this, he roughly understood that the young girl couldn't stand being alone, so he smiled and said, "Yes, if it can be successful, wouldn't that be an outstanding contribution to the greening of the world?"

Ushiwakamaru shifted his position, moved to sit directly opposite Li Ang, and shook his head, saying, "Forget it. Even if you succeed, it's the result of magic. You can't use magic all over the world, can you?"

"probably."

Li Ang said casually.

Ushiwakamaru opened her mouth, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "I think your current situation is very dangerous."

"Ok?"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, finally shifting his attention away from the pop-up window and looking directly at Ushiwakamaru himself.

“It’s obvious,” Ushiwakamaru said. “Kingu and Tiamat are bound to fail. If you continue to side with them, are you preparing to be wiped out along with them?”

Li Ang blinked. Was this person... planning to persuade him to surrender?

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆A Little Theater for Two◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Why do I have to wear this! I can easily make a new outfit myself using magic!"

Ushiwakamaru, naked, stared at the maid outfit DD had taken out, her face filled with shame and indignation.

DD said nonchalantly, "Of course you can choose to wear that indecent outfit from before, as long as you're not afraid that my master will casually rip off your clothes."

"..."

In the end, Ushiwakamaru chose to submit to the Maid Demon King.

Chapter 226 Ritsuka: Defeat Gorgon and capture Dog Leon alive!

Seeing that Niu Ruowan wanted to turn him against his own side, Li Ang stopped all his actions and looked at the other party with great interest.

"what are you doing?"

Perhaps it was because Li Ang's gaze was too intense that Niu Ruowan subconsciously shrank his neck.

Li Ang asked with a smile, "So, what do you think I should do?"

Ushiwakamaru straightened her petite frame slightly and explained, "I heard from Prince Fujimaru that you also hope that humanity can continue. If that's the case, why do you listen to Kingu and Tiamat? You should know very well that they are the enemies of humanity! As someone who stands on the side of humanity, you should join us in resisting them!"

Li Ang, still smiling, said, "That's all? I thought you had some profound insights."

Ushiwakamaru asked in confusion, "What?"

"Ahem. This is how you should persuade me to surrender."

Li Ang deliberately cleared his throat and then delivered a passionate speech.

"Yes. Since the reigns of King En and King Lu, the gods have been rampant, the world is in turmoil, the state is in grave danger, and the people are in dire need of help."

"The late King Durmzid swept across the land, conquering all, and captured King Enme Bagrates of Kish alive. He was truly the heart of all people and admired by all corners of the world. This was not achieved through power or force, but was truly the mandate of Heaven!"

“My King Gilgamesh, divinely wise and martial, inherited the throne, in accordance with the will of Heaven and the people, with strict laws and regulations, and established Uruk to govern Mesopotamia. Is this not the will of Heaven and the people?”

"Now you possess great talent and ambition, comparing yourself to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi. Why do you insist on acting against the principles of Heaven and human sentiment? Have you not heard the ancients say: 'Those who follow Heaven prosper, and those who defy Heaven perish.'"

"Today, my Uruk has a million armored soldiers and a thousand excellent generals. (At this moment, Li Ang gives a thumbs up.) How can your rotten grass and fireflies compare to the bright moon in the sky? If you surrender and lay down your arms, you will still be granted a title of nobility. The country will be at peace and the people will be happy. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Seeing Li Ang spread his hands outstretched, his eyes filled with sincerity, Niu Ruowan stared blankly for a long time before finally replying.

What are you even talking about?

Li Ang curled his lip in displeasure: "Tsk, how boring."

[Host, you just want to do cosplay, don't you!]

The system directly revealed Li Ang's inner thoughts.

"Long-winded."

Li Ang sat down again, rubbing his neck, and said, "Human principles must be continued, after all, I am human too."

[An ordinary human who is forever 20 years old?]

Li Ang didn't even glance at the pop-up window.

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, Niu Ruowan suddenly realized and said, "It seems that you have considered these issues more than once."

"Of course, I also took many substantive actions."

For example, recruiting Ishtar, summoning Enkidu, or capturing the Bull of Heaven.

However, Li Ang certainly wouldn't reveal these things.

Niu Ruowan tilted his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "Since you believe that human reason is important, why do you still help the wicked and follow Jin Gu?"

“Why not?” Li Ang retorted, his smile fading slightly. “I am his follower, isn’t it normal for me to listen to his requests?”

Ushiwakamaru was startled by Li Ang's sudden change in demeanor.

However, being a seasoned and renowned military commander, she quickly recovered and retorted sharply: "That's no excuse! Servants aren't mindless puppets! As a Servant myself, I know that all too well!"

“But I’m bound by Command Spells.” Li Ang regained his composure, and a relaxed smile returned to his lips: “Beefball, right now I’m just a pathetic creature bound by Command Spells.”

"What exactly makes you look like a pathetic creature?"

Ushiwakamaru was furious when she heard the name "beef ball".

“If bankers can be considered a vulnerable group, why shouldn’t I be pitiful?” Li Ang spread his hands, looking helpless.

Niu Ruowan's fighting spirit grew stronger, and she seemed eager to have a verbal battle with Li Ang.
