The villain's way to tame the protagonist

The man's well-fitting, neat uniform made his words very convincing.

"Since it's a normal administrative unit, then of course we work in the administrative building normally, the floor is just a little higher."

Hearing this, Marina didn't think any more about it. She bowed to Myoff and said respectfully, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Myoff."

"It's just my job."

Myoff straightened his collar and said with a smile, "Come on, Miss Marina."

"I will, Mr. Myoff." A proud smile appeared on Marina's usually quiet and gentle face, obviously just for that one person.

"I will do everything for Mr. Anser."

At this moment, Myoff happened to have his back to the sun, so Marina, who had just raised her head, could not see his face clearly. She only heard the man chuckle and say:

"Hehe... Well, good luck to you then."

Marina nodded again, then turned around and took firm and confident steps towards the administrative building in the distance.

From now on, she will be able to contribute her strength to Anser better.

The dazzling midday sun shone on the road ahead of her, making her shadow very long.

"Oh... Is this where Lina works?"

Xitana looked up at the magnificent administrative building and said enviously, "It feels so impressive."

"Everything you see seems amazing." Ming Fuluo, who had become extremely small, only about 60 centimeters tall, said nonchalantly while sitting on Anser's shoulder, "I admire every sculpture on the roadside."

"It's so noisy! You have no aesthetic sense!"

"Do you have the concept of aesthetics in your mind?"

Xitana and Ming Furo always quarrel with each other from time to time...but rather than "swearing", it's more like a quarrel between children.

Because Xitana is not a very smart girl, and Ming Furo's social skills are almost zero, and her ability to quarrel is the same.

Therefore, the quarrel between the two will eventually slide into a very subtle direction.

"Little dwarf!"

"Stupid dog."

"Little dwarf!"

"Stupid dog."

"Little dwarf!"

"...You have nothing else to say!"

"You've been calling me a dog!"

For Anser, listening to the two girls' cute quarrels and bickering was really a pleasant experience.

He was originally going to deal with the government affairs that had piled up on his hands, but since Xitana said she wanted to see Marina, Ansher came here first to take a look and inspect the work situation of that group of people.

The quarrel between the two girls ended temporarily with Shitana's unhappy snort. The girl, who focused all her attention on reuniting with Marina, soon became happy again - as soon as she said she wanted to see Marina, Ansel accompanied her, how could she not be happy.

But after a while, a puzzled look appeared on Miss Wolf's face again. She hugged Ansel's arm and began to sniff, as if she smelled something strange.

As she smelled, she even loosened her hand and walked forward with a suspicious look on her face. Then she even lay directly on the ground and did not stop until she smelled the shadow of the administrative building cast on the ground.

“…Huh? What’s going on?”

Hitana, squatting on the ground, poked at the edge of the shadow and muttered to herself, "This smell... Anser! There is a strange smell in the shadow!"

She called out to Anther.

Anser smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, don't take it to heart."

"Oh……"

Although it was still very strange, since Anser said so, Xitana didn't think about it any further.

Because they didn't want to cause a disturbance, Anther and his party came in stealthily. Because they were anxious to see Marina, Hitana became much more obedient after coming in. She followed Anther to the floating platform and soon arrived at the eleventh floor of the administrative building.

As soon as he came up, Ming Fuluo, who was sitting on Anser's shoulder, raised her eyebrows slightly: "Thirty-six kinds of cyclic superimposed etheric realms...who wrote this?"

"Just some ordinary tricks of ordinary men." Ansher smiled, walked to the only door not far away, and pushed it open.

The moment the door opened, everyone's eyes turned to Anser.

"…Huh? Why is everyone looking at us? Did the hiding spell fail?"

Sitana asked blankly.

"Anser did it, stupid dog." Ming Fuluo whispered, "But there are probably not many concealment spells in this world that can break through the complex domain in that corridor."

"install--!"

Just as cheers were about to break out in the room, Anser raised his hand and pressed it down in vain.

"Just keep working."

The young Hydra smiled.

So the next second, everyone turned their attention back to their own work, as if the previous moment had never existed at all.

Hitana was looking eagerly, craning her neck to find her sister. If she hadn't asked Ansel for permission, she would have sniffed for Marina's scent.

Seeing Xitana's anxious look, Anser couldn't help but patted her shoulder with a smile: "Go, don't disturb Marina, she may be working."

"Ok!"

As soon as she got permission, Xitana happily let go of Ansher. She walked between the neatly arranged office seats, following the smell that she was very familiar with, and soon found where Marina was.

She was working at her desk with her back to him, looking very focused.

Following Anser's instructions, the girl took one step at a time carefully, not wanting to scare her sister.

But the closer she got... the more Shitana felt that something was wrong.

She heard a faint, confused murmur.

"No, no...it's not like that."

"I'll be well soon. I don't need to rest. I'll be well soon, soon..."

With a bad feeling rising in her heart, Xitana quickly walked behind Marina and put her hand on her shoulder: "Lina, what are you doing——"

The moment her hand touched Marina's shoulder, Sitana froze.

Unbelievable... feeling of being thin.

She could hardly feel the presence of flesh, as if it was just skin covering bones!

Marina, who was touched by Xitana, trembled violently, and she shouted loudly almost reflexively:

"Ms. Rhine, I don't need to rest, I can continue--"

"…Xi'er?"

Marina turned around and looked at her sister in confusion: "Why are you..."

Click, click, click, click—

The sound of bones growing could be heard in the spacious office.

Looking at her sister whose eyes were sunken, hair was messy, and face was pale and thin, as if she was on the verge of death, Shitana's breathing became heavier.

She held Marina in her arms and turned slowly, her clenched teeth making a spine-chilling friction sound.

The wolf beast, whose eyes had already turned into snake pupils, let out a ferocious and violent growl:

"Who...did it...?"

Chapter 8: The Will of the Serpent Extends (K)

The pressure from the Beast King is unquestionable. His spirit of hunting all things and pursuing the strongest can make any life feel threatened or even fearful from the bottom of its heart.

But in this spacious office, not a single person looked up at Shitana; everyone continued with their work.

Marina, who was hugged by Xitana, was stunned for two or three seconds, and then immediately struggled frantically:

"Xi'er...let me go, let me go! You can't act wild here...let me go!"

Ming Fuluo, who was sitting on Anser's shoulder, looked at this scene and whispered:

"I felt something was wrong when I came in. The difference in the speed of time between inside and outside was a little too big."

"At least... ten times more."

Miss Scholar looked at Anser with some suspicion: "You put that ordinary person Miss Marina here, are you sure you are not committing murder?"

Any man-made independent time block will have an impact on the human body due to the different flow rates, which is unavoidable. Although life and work seem normal, the slow time block will make people's thinking more and more sluggish, and the accelerated time block will increase the energy consumption of the human body at the same time as the speed of time.

Extraordinary people, especially powerful ones, naturally don’t care about this, but for an ordinary person... if they are thrown into an accelerated time block and do not have enough nutritional supplements, they will be exhausted to death in a day and a half.

But Anser also seemed a little surprised. He frowned slightly and whispered:

"I didn't expect that she would be so strong."

"...want to be strong?"

"Rhine." Anser turned his head and looked at the only two independent offices in the office, raised his chin slightly, "Come out and explain to Xitana what's going on, otherwise she will tear down the garden."

"I……"

Sitana looked at her sister who was struggling in her arms. The fierce look on her face gradually disappeared, and her body returned to its original state. But she still held Marina in her arms and said in a hoarse voice: "I won't do anything, Anser, I just want an answer."

Shitana wanted to tear Marina into two pieces, but that didn't mean she would continue to follow her wild thoughts and act recklessly.

Anser would not deliberately torture his sister, and there was no reason for Anser's men to deliberately make things difficult for his sister. Why...

The office door was quietly opened, but no one came out.

"Ms. Marina rejected the suggestion of setting up a separate office area with normal flow rate for her, and the nutrient solution distribution was also stopped a day and a half ago."

A furry ragdoll cat jumped onto the desk, licked its paws, and spoke in human language: "I approved her a leave application, but she refused. The garden never forces you to work, but you are not forced to leave work either. Besides, I admire her attitude and determination to work so hard for Lord Anser."

“So, it became what it is now.”

This ragdoll cat has a very mature female voice and looks like Ms. Rhine as Marina mentioned.

Anser rubbed his temple and said, "You should have told me that they even stopped dispensing nutrient solution, Rhine."

"Really?" The ragdoll cat tilted its head while squatting obediently. "Don't discourage the work enthusiasm of your subordinates. This is what you taught me, Lord Anser. From a personal point of view, I think Miss Marina's reason is very legitimate - she thinks it is ridiculous for her workplace to give her nutrient solution unconditionally. She does not need this kind of privileged treatment, even if it is your instruction."

"So, when the amount of nutrient solution exceeded her salary, Ms. Marina stopped distributing it herself... Ah, actually she still had four bottles of nutrient solution, but Ms. Marina thought..."

The cat looked at Marina, who was emaciated, and said softly, "You have to wait until your energy is exhausted before taking it, so that its value can be maximized."

Shitana looked at her sister in her arms in disbelief, as if she would die if she was squeezed lightly, and her lips trembled slightly.

"Sister... why? You, why did you do this? Since... since no one forced you, why don't you even want to take a rest?"

"……open."

"Lina——"

"let me go!"

Marina's sudden shout scared Shitana so much that she subconsciously let go of her. Marina, who was now free, grabbed the documents on the table and staggered towards the cat sitting on the desk.

"I have compiled all the reports about...Blue River Territory."

Her hands were trembling as she handed the document to Rhine, and her skinny arms were so unrecognizable that it was heartbreaking to see.

"Well, it's well done. It can be passed to the fifth floor."

The Ragdoll Cat didn't even need to flip through the pages. It just glanced at the cover of the document and seemed to have read the entire content of the document.

Marina's extremely thin and haggard face was now glowing with an incomparable brightness and vitality. She nodded happily, holding on to the desk, and came to a square box at the end of the office and put the documents in it.

Following Marina all the way, heartbroken Shitana didn't know what to do. She watched Marina gasp for a while, then stagger back to her seat, take out a bottle of potion emitting a glowing green light from the locker at her feet, opened it, and drank it.

After a while, her body, which seemed to be exhausted, filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her skin became snow-white and tender again, and her cheeks became plump and lively again. Within a few seconds, her whole body was revived with vitality.

"……call."

Marina rubbed her cheeks hard, turned to smile at Xitana: "I'm sorry, Xier, I made you--"

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Anser not far away - it was not until now that she realized that Anser had come with them.
