About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

For Orson, today is the day his life ends.

71. The maid is lustful

"The enemy is attacking. Please protect me well, maid."

"Ahahaha... I know it without you telling me. With such a lovely girl in front of me, how could I possibly let your snow-white face get even a little bit hurt?"

The blonde maid stretched out her right hand wrapped in white silk and gently placed it on the black chin. Her fingers were like holding a glass of expensive red wine, which made the black snake's head slightly lift up. At the same time, the two looked into each other's eyes, and even their lips were at the extreme distance that anyone could kiss immediately if they touched them.

"Hmm...you're quite good at it, maid-san."

The black snake pulled itself back from Orson's palm. Although his tone was still calm, his eyes had already moved away from the direct gaze.

Black Snake, who recognized the "maid" in front of him as Orson, looked delighted. Black Snake pretended to be a pitiful and weak woman to Orson (maid ver) as if performing for others, originally wanting to enjoy his predicament in this way.

But what Black Snake didn't expect was that Orson in this mode had already learned to turn on the "broken jar" mode, and had already made a certain green cat head doubt his life.

In the end, it was the 'blonde maid' Miss Kiri who flirted with Black Snake with her overwhelming power. After all, Miss Black Snake's previous host was a white-haired old man, and her power in female flirting had not yet recovered to 100%, and she was slightly inferior to Orson in maid mode.

This wave, this wave is a Seven Injury Fist attack.

"This guy is from the previous party... What should I do?"

The assassins nearby were stunned by the sudden appearance of the blonde maid. In reality, today's assassination attempt was an unexpected one. The hired assassins had originally planned to attack Tallulah on her way to the Reunion competition in three days. However, they had received intelligence that the maid had appeared alone and unprepared, which had prompted them to act.

"Kill them together——Pfft!!"

Before one of the killers could finish his words, the 'blonde maid' quickly approached him and threw an uppercut with a pause amplification, directly knocking the other person away and accurately smashing him into a trash can dozens of meters away.

"This bastard...! Kill them both!"

"None of you can escape today!!"

"……what?"

At this time, the bad guys should have gathered together and surrounded the pitiful girl while shouting.

But the actual situation was that the "maid" rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the group of people while shouting.

This scene left the other hired killers dumbfounded. Who was the villain? Why did it feel like the maid on the other side was the boss behind the scenes?

"It's all because of you blind bastards. My...my life is ruined!!"

Orson complained tearfully that it was because of these bastards that he had to dress as a woman, but unfortunately he was recognized by the black snake that he least wanted to be discovered.

Bang! !

Orson threw a straight punch at the killer closest to him. Although a dull sound of impact was heard, this time the opponent blocked the attack with his shield first.

——No wonder Black Snake said he couldn’t handle it. Putting aside the open stone skills, these guys’ fighting skills are indeed not bad. The man just now just succeeded in a surprise attack by chance.

Orson swung his numb arms and assumed a serious fighting stance.

Orson... No, Orson is in disguise mode now, so although the reason is different, like Black Snake, he cannot use Originium skills.

For Orson and Tallulah, whose main abilities lie in Originium skills, these battle-hardened knights cannot be underestimated.

"Ah, my, you may say something very nice, but it seems that you are surrounded and suppressed. Maid-san, do you need a hand from me, the princess you are supposed to protect?"

Black Snake walked to Orson with a smile, and pulled the long sword at his waist out of the belt.

"So you're the mischievous princess who's skilled in swordplay? I'm glad you're willing to lend a hand, but please be careful not to get hurt by impulsive behavior, or I, a maid, will be humiliated."

The blonde maid smiled and stretched out her index finger to gently touch the tip of Black Snake's nose, and this action once again stunned Black Snake.

In the current 'Pick-Up Rankings', the maid who wishes to remain anonymous has a slight advantage over Black Snake at 2:0.

Black Snake now not only suspected that Alina was also an immortal who was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, but also began to doubt whether Orson had some strange Originium skill that allowed him to be possessed by clothes by changing clothes.

Orson placed his fists in front of him, while Black Snake clutched his broadsword beside him. This scene, which no one could have imagined, was actually unfolding.

"I don't know if it's a real fight or just an act, but who cares? The maid is so cool!"

"My uncle said it! My uncle said that the mysterious maid is actually Princess Victoria! Look at this overflowing feminine power! Look at this dazzling sense of justice! Casimir was once a nation of knights, but now the knights have become assassins!"

"Isn't this a matter of getting rid of Nyutong...?"

"Can you please be more emotionally intelligent! This is clearly the purest lily blossoming between girls!"

"Why would Princess Victoria learn martial arts?"

The crowd around who were just watching the fun were not bothered by the incident. They consciously formed a circle, joined in the fun, took photos, and talked about it in a flurry of activity.

It was different for those killers. They were now feeling extremely overwhelmed. Originally, this was just a simple job. Kill that little girl Waifan from the Integration Movement, then get the money and go to the countryside to find a place to live out their lives.

But because of that maid, everything became strange...!

“Pfft!!”

The last killer's shield was knocked out of his hand by Black Snake's sword, and Orson rushed up almost at the same time and knocked him into the non-recyclable garbage dump in the alley with a straight punch.

Although they were unable to use Originium techniques, and although it was the first time that Orson and Black Snake had united as a team, perhaps because their host was Talulah, the two of them cooperated surprisingly well.

"Aha……"

After confirming that all the killers were killed, Orson breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could catch his breath, the onlookers suddenly burst into cheers and rushed towards Orson.

"Mysterious maid! Why did you attend the party that day?"

"Miss Maid! You are indeed the Princess of Victoria! I heard that your regent has been replaced. Could it be that you are fleeing from political reasons?"

"Miss Maid, those killers look very strong. Even so, why do you still have the courage to stand up!"

"Miss Maid, you are so flat. Do you have a younger sister named 45 and an older sister named Fu Hua?"

"Miss Maid! Can you be my wife?"

"Miss Maid, can I be your wife?"

"Wow wow wow wow..."

Orson was squeezed by a group of people, and was stuck between a group of onlookers, self-proclaimed media reporters, men and women, and could not move.

“Wait, wait a minute—my hair and dress…!!”

When there are too many people, the scene will naturally become chaotic, and when the scene is chaotic, there will be many people who take advantage of the situation to touch the maid.

Orson's wig and "chilly dress" were shaking in the jostling crowd, and Orson himself looked like he was about to cry and didn't know what to do.

"Haa ...

Black Snake was watching the fun with great interest at first, but after noticing Orson's extremely embarrassed expression, she sighed and continued to activate her Originium skills.

“What’s going on…it’s suddenly so hot!” “It’s so hot!” “What’s going on!?”

The black snake used Talulah's Originium skill of controlling fire to the minimum extent to heat up the surrounding temperature. The onlookers who wanted to rip Orson apart immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Yes, this is my Originium technique. If you don't want to be roasted to charcoal within three seconds, please leave here—3, 3,..."

"Wow wow wow wow!!? This guy is serious!"

Thanks to Black Snake's excellent acting skills and the visibly rising temperature around him, the passers-by surrounding Orson dispersed in an instant, so quickly!

"I'm so grateful... I'll never forget this life-saving favor."

While making sure that his wig and dress were not knocked askew by those people, Orson thanked Black Snake solemnly.

——I can’t even tell who saved whom.

Black Snake looked at Orson's embarrassed and frightened appearance, sighed, and took out his mobile phone to take pictures.

"It seems that you haven't been able to maintain your elegance, Miss Maid?"

"forgive me……"

Orson replied softly, wiping away the sweat that had just flowed from the high temperature. At this moment, the white gloves on the maid's arms had become somewhat transparent due to the sweat. If you looked closely, you could even see -

You can see the inflammation and swelling after the 'rest' has attached.

After all, Orson was just a novice who had practiced cross-dressing for less than a day. Being watched and groped by so many people up close and personal had a huge impact on his heart. He didn't even have the energy to maintain his 'Nyukiri King' mode (?)

"It looks like the Sangster family doesn't want to maintain the status quo anymore. This is an opportunity, Orson."

Although teasing Orson was fun, the root cause of his embarrassment was still himself, so Black Snake stopped teasing Orson and got down to business.

Of course, another reason is that there is still a long time to come. What he saw today is enough for the extremely sinister Black Snake to torture Orson a three-digit number of times in different ways in the future.

"A chance to split the Supervisory Commission?"

"It seems that wearing women's clothes hasn't dulled your mind, that's right. The more radical the Sangster family's actions become, the higher the chance that we will split the family from the Ombudsman."

"Don't mention cross-dressing... Wait, radical?"

Orson frowned. While carrying out an assassination on a busy street might seem radical to most people, if the target was the Sangster family, whose heir, Longqi, had suddenly disappeared and died, and whose once-hidden homicidal habit had been revealed—

Since they had already decided to eliminate Tallulah and destroy the Reunion, this level of assassination was a bit too "smooth".

A bad premonition emerged in Orson's mind. He strengthened his "frequency resonance" ability to detect the surroundings to increase the sensing range. Almost at the same time, Orson sensed a half-squatting human figure on a high-rise building not far away from the two of them.

“——Get out of the way!”

brake!!

Orson pushed the black snake forward, and at the same time a crossbow arrow passed straight through Orson's arm and pierced into the ground with a stinging wind pressure.

Black Snake immediately understood the situation. She drew the Dragon Strike Spear from her waist, channeled heat powerful enough to melt a building into the barrel, aimed it in the direction of the incoming crossbow, and pulled the trigger.

The strong glare that could temporarily blind a person penetrated the rooftop where the sniper was, and after the light passed, the original "rooftop" turned into a semicircular ravine.

"Hurry up, get here! That crossbowman is completely different from the previous killer. I couldn't even sense his attack process. I just happened to 'capture' the crossbow arrow with the frequency... Ugh."

Orson reached out with a serious expression to grab the black snake and prepare to leave, but as soon as he raised his hand, he felt a piercing pain.

Although Orson neutralized the attack on the black snake, his arm was scratched by the crossbow arrow.

The pure white long gloves were cut in half and turned to the sides, leaving a deep wound on the arm covered by them.

"The maid is injured!?" "What a serious wound!" "That light just now... my eyes... what happened?"

Although Orson wanted to take Black away from the crossbow sniper's attack range, the crowd came over again due to the sudden change just now.

They naturally didn't notice the crossbow arrow that even Orson and Black Snake couldn't detect. For these onlookers, all they saw was that "after the strong light, Victoria's political asylum maid was suddenly injured."

"It's not safe here, leave now—Hey, listen to me!"

The road the two of them were leaving was once again blocked by traffic. Orson covered his arm and shouted at the passers-by, but it had almost no effect.

"..."

As for Black Snake, she was a little dazed looking at the wound on Orson's arm.

How long had it been? Even if I tried hard to recall the time someone got hurt while trying to 'protect themselves', I couldn't.

[Orson...! Um, because of the 'bombardment' just now, those people are surrounding us again. Give me back your body, Black Snake.]

When Tallulah saw Orson injured, she almost immediately wanted to rush out and take over his body.

"...Wait, let me handle this."

Black Snake looked at Orson, who was half-kneeling on the ground with his arms covered, and looked at the crowd surrounding him, and gently stopped Tallulah.

Black Snake's tone rarely sounded so serious.

72. My man is good, right? He is mine.

"No, my daughter. Leave this to me. I won't ask for anything, but I hope you'll give me this chance. I will ensure your safety, and that of Orson."

After a moment of realization, the black snake rejected Tallulah in its body.

[…Then I’ll leave it to you.]

Tallulah hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to take back control of her body for the time being.

After continuing to gain control of the body, Black Snake tore off the strip of cloth from the sleeve of the dress he had carefully selected and wrapped it around Orson's injured arm. Then he looked at the idiots who kept watching and took a breath.

"Don't you understand the current situation?! You, the silent, cold-eyed bystanders, know clearly that this isn't 'acting,' yet you still find all sorts of excuses to excuse yourselves. Compared to pure inaction, you're even more numbly 'self-degrading.' Take a good look at yourselves! Those frantic pursuits and praises of the maid are nothing more than self-worship of a man-made idol. What qualifications do you have to call yourself the 'Kingdom of Knights'? Where are the knights? I only see a lovely, yet incredibly weak, wounded girl willing to stand up, but what about you? Numb, self-hypnotized, escapist, ugly chasing after that light—now, get out of the way. The redemption you seek is not here, because that can only be earned by you!"

Black Snake's voice was passionate and shocking. Originally, what Talulah had learned most clearly from Black Snake was the speech of justice. Now that he had personally taken the stage, the onlookers were almost instantly shocked by Black Snake's words and retreated to make way.

"You're really good at fooling people..."

Orson, who was leaning against the black snake, complained quietly.
