"I won't let go unless you release me, otherwise I'll die before I can!"

"Ah~ ah, how come you haven't learned any of Akame's good habits? In that case..."

Mo Li stretched out his palm and slapped down hard, showing no mercy whatsoever.

This slap left Kuroko completely stunned.

Kurohime felt a sharp pain in her back and froze instantly. Her innocent side had been hit by a boy, and an enemy at that. How humiliating!

Her face turned bright red at first, and then, realizing what was happening, she began to struggle frantically on Mo Li's shoulder.

Like a crazed kitten, she thrashed about wildly, her fists clenched tightly, and began to pound on Mo Li's back, all the while cursing:

"Pervert... idiot... bastard"

In short, all the bad words that Hei Tong knew were used on Mo Li. Although Hei Tong had used all her strength to strike, it was completely ineffective for Mo Li.

But letting her keep making a scene wasn't a solution, so Mo Li had no choice but to put her on the ground.

Black Eyes stared intently at the Eight Chambers at Mo Li's waist. Although Mo Li appeared to be full of openings, Black Eyes dared not approach. The scene of being instantly killed was still deeply etched in her mind.

Mo Li sensed that Hei Tong's strength was gradually waning and immediately realized it was due to the medication.

Knowing that Kuroko was suffering every moment, Mo Li decided to heal her with Zafkiel first, and then take her back to Night Raid. Maybe there would be a turning point.

Without hesitation, Mo Li summoned Zafkiel, and a short gun appeared in his hand, its muzzle pointed directly at Black Eyes.

Black Eyes thought Mo Li was going to kill her, and a resolute glint flashed in her eyes before she said:

"So you've finally decided to kill me? Fine, it's better than going back and being thrown away like trash. Goodbye, sister!"

Black Eyes closed her eyes in despair, awaiting the arrival of the judge.

Mo Li looked at the scene before her and couldn't help but laugh. This guy was too imaginative. If she wanted to kill her, she wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble. She could have taken care of her from the very beginning.

But Kuroko's appearance is quite cute; she's still thinking of her sister even at the very end.

"Zfkl - Fourth Bullet!"

With a "bang," the bullet struck Kurohime in the head, and Kurohime fell to the ground.

After a long while, Kuro-tō slowly opened his eyes. Something's not right with how this is going to happen. Shouldn't I be dead?

Moreover, my body felt warm and comfortable, my headache was gone, I no longer had the urge to eat snacks, and even my physical strength was restored, bringing my overall condition back to its peak.

What Kuroko didn't know was that her current state was the same as her body before she was injected with the drug.

"Okay, then there shouldn't be any problems!"

After observing Hei Tong's condition, Mo Li nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, Hei Tong looked best like this. Before, he exuded the aura of a sick person, which Mo Li found very repulsive.

Hei Tong gave Mo Li a complicated look before she realized that the bullet from earlier hadn't been meant to kill her, but rather had saved her.

"Why? Why did you save me? Aren't you an assassin? We're enemies! Isn't killing the enemy the right thing to do? Why did you save me?"

Chapter 274 The Changes in Black Eyes' Heart, Spending the Night in the Forest

Hei Tong stood up, realizing that even if her body recovered, she was no match for the man in front of her.

Upon hearing Hei Tong's question, Mo Li casually shrugged and replied:

"Killing someone may require a motive, but saving someone doesn't need a reason!"

This speech struck a chord with Hei Tong, leaving her speechless and at a loss for words.

As expected, Kudo's words were not only effective against Vermouth, but also against Kurome.

Mo Li extended her hand, smiling as she invited him:

"Well, Kurome, come back to Night Raid with me. I want to clear up the misunderstanding between you and Akame!"

"It's no use. Just give up on that idea. That traitor betrayed the empire, betrayed the assassination squad, and joined the rebels. I will never forgive her!"

Kurome has an almost twisted obsession with Akame, having long since decided that Akame is a traitor.

Mo Li shook his head; it seemed there was still a long way to go before he could persuade her to join.

Thinking of this, Mo Li immediately turned around, grabbed Hei Tong's hand, and walked in another direction.

"Let me go! I can walk by myself. I don't need you. Also, give me back Hachifusa!"

"Are you kidding me? I'm not giving the Eighth Chamber back to you until you join!"

Black Eyes continued to struggle, but how could her strength possibly contend with Mo Li? She could only follow him on his journey.

Time quickly passed and evening arrived. The sun had already set. Because Hei Tong had tried to escape several times on the way, but was caught by Mo Li each time, some time was wasted.

I had originally planned to take her to town, but now it seems we'll have to camp out here.

Fortunately, the two were not from wealthy or noble families, and were already used to camping and sleeping outdoors.

To prevent Hei Tong from escaping again, Mo Li specially found a relatively thick chain and tied it to her wrist.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't run away, we'd be lying in a big bed in a hotel in the city right now!"

"Hmph, you big pervert, who knows what you're going to do to me? I don't want to share a bed with you."

As if realizing something, Hei Tong quickly distanced herself from Mo Li, crossing her arms to protect her chest, fearing that Mo Li might lose his beastly nature and do something to her in the forest.

Looking at Hei Tong's lost in thought, a blush beginning to appear on her cheeks, Mo Li shook his head. As someone who had been through it all, he knew exactly what Hei Tong was thinking.

To be honest, he wasn't really interested in this kind of "ordinary" girl.

He would definitely want someone like Esdeath, someone who could satisfy all his desires.

"Coo coo..."

Just as the two fell silent, Hei Tong's stomach suddenly growled, which sounded particularly loud in the quiet night and immediately caught Mo Li's attention.

After the battle during the day, coupled with the physical exertion from fleeing, the bag of snacks he usually ate was already empty, and Kurohime's face turned red again.

"Perfect timing, I'm a little hungry too. Don't move, I'll go get some food!"

After saying that, Mo Li gently stroked Hei Tong's head and walked towards the river. Before leaving, he also took Hei Tong's eight wives with him.

When Mo Li suddenly patted his head, Hei Tong subconsciously narrowed his eyes, looking quite pleased.

What exactly is this feeling that's so different from my sister's?

Hei Tong watched as Mo Li walked away with Ba Fang, and with a slight effort, broke the iron chain.

Thinking she could restrain herself with these iron chains was impossible. If she weren't wary of Mo Li's strength, she would have left long ago and wouldn't have to put up with this.

After slightly flexing his wrists, Kurohime stood up, intending to leave, but he couldn't bring himself to take a step.

If I leave now, we'll be enemies the next time we meet. He saved me, but I want him dead.

No, why am I thinking so much?

Hei Tong shook her head, trying to shake away all the bad thoughts in her mind, but no matter what she did, these thoughts seemed to be rooted in her brain.

"I'm just trying to get back the Eighth Chamber and, incidentally, gather some information about him!"

Kurohime comforted herself with this reason, but even she didn't believe it.

I stood at this station for about half an hour.

Even after Mo Li returned with firewood, Hei Tong still didn't take that step, standing there blankly.

"You didn't run away, that's good! You can have two more fish to eat!"

Hearing Mo Li's words, Kuroko finally realized what was going on. Looking at the fish stuck in the blade of Hachifusa's sword, Kuroko was immediately displeased. Was his weapon meant to be used as a harpoon?

Little did Mo Li know that, in his view, there was no difference between the two, and the Eighth Chamber was not as useful as a harpoon.

Mo Li arranged the firewood, lit the fire, and then took the eight-piece set and began to roast it on top.

"If only I had some seasonings," Mo Li thought to herself, then suddenly remembered that she still had a system.

The system has been silent for so long. Apart from the time Esdeath gave me a thousand Demon King Points in the contract, it has never made a sound.

Mo Li opened the system interface and immediately discovered that his Demon King Points had reached 38000 points, most of which were contributed by the Imperial Army, and a small portion were obtained by killing Zank, Oka, Dr. Fashion, Polus, and others.

Switch to the shop page, find the "Items" section, scroll to the bottom, and sure enough, there are items like household goods.

After searching everywhere, I finally found the seasoning in a corner, which only cost 1 Demon King Point.

After successfully redeeming the ingredients, Mo Li poured all the seasonings onto the grilled fish.

Soon, an enticing aroma wafted out, and the golden-brown, fragrant grilled fish was ready.

The aroma made the already ravenous Black Eyes swallow hard, drool dripping from the corners of his mouth. He slowly raised his hands, as if he wanted to pounce forward.

As expected of sisters, they are remarkably similar when it comes to food.

Seeing this, Mo Li handed the grilled fish directly to Hei Tong.

Without even connecting, Hei Tong bit down, almost biting off Mo Li's hand as well.

Mo Li smiled helplessly. Just as he was about to enjoy his portion, a dark shadow darted past and snatched the skewer of grilled fish from his hand.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Black Eyes. Her eating speed was unprecedented; she finished the grilled fish in just a few bites.

After finishing her meal, Hei Tong looked up at Mo Li with innocent eyes and said:

"I want more!"

Luckily, he knew how much Kurohime could eat and caught about seven or eight fish, otherwise he would have gone hungry tonight.

And so began Mo Li's tense and exciting time as a chef.

You ask why I'm nervous? It's because the baking time simply can't keep up with the time it takes for Kuroko to eat.

"I want to eat more..."

"It'll be ready soon..."

"I want to eat more..."

"Wait a moment……"

"I want to eat more..."

"Eat slower, you jerk..."

"I want to eat more..."

"You weren't born in the Year of the Dog, you were born in the Year of the Pig..."

"I want to eat more..."

In this environment, Mo Li finally managed to fill Hei Tong's stomach and also got to eat the last grilled fish, who knows how long he had been starving.

This girl is hard to please. Why do all the girls I've chosen seem to be big eaters?

Saber is, Tohka is, Akame is, and now even Kurome is included...

No, it seems I must expand the army when I get back and hire more cooks, otherwise Shiori will be overworked to death at the stove.

Susanoo is a good choice. I heard that he knows more than a thousand dishes, but I don't know if it's true.

"I'm stuffed!"

"Alright, I'll go see if there's any thatch or anything like that. You keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't go out!"

After saying that, Mo Li quickly left, without caring at all whether Hei Tong would run away.

Just as Hei Tong was about to say something, he saw that Mo Li had already run far away.

"Why are you so good to me? How can I possibly bring myself to kill you like this!"

The firelight reflected on her dark-eyed face, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, just like her mood, fluctuating and unpredictable.

Just leave like that, pretending I never saw him, pretending none of this ever happened? How is that possible?

He was an enemy, yet he was also the kindest person to her besides Akame. No one had ever treated her so gently, especially after she had experienced the time with the Imperial Assassination Squad.

Not long after, Mo Li came over carrying a pile of cattail leaves, spread them on the ground, tested their softness, and nodded. It seemed that he did have some talent after all.

"Alright, the conditions are basic, so please bear with it for now!"

"how about you?"

"It's okay, I can just throw on any clothes. Alright, it's getting late, go to sleep, we have to travel tomorrow!"

With a complex expression, Hei Tong looked at Mo Li lying on the ground and quietly lay down on the bed made of cattail leaves.

Turning over, he looked at Mo Li's face, which had already closed its eyes, and a smile appeared on his dark-eyed face.
