“Wow, you’re really handsome.” Mavis’ eyes lit up as she looked at Pan Liang. Her gaze gave Pan Liang the creeps.
With that, he pointed his sword at the two girls in front of him. “What gives? Do you want to watch me perform swordplay?”
As he was speaking, his body seemed to exude an endless murderous aura, which surrounded the two girls.
“Hmph. Since I’m in a good mood today, I’ll let both of you off for now.”
Pan Liang swaggered off like how he came.
After turning around, he hurriedly changed back into his original clothes before rushing back to the carriage and lying still.
.
“Oh my God. That was exciting.”
After completely losing sight of that expert, Shirley turned to look at Mavis beside her. “Are you sure that person is your savior?”
Seeing how Pan Liang behaved just now, Mavis was uncertain.
“I don’t know whether it’s him. But judging from the situation just now, it might not be him.”
Shirley nodded. “Even if he might be your savior, don’t approach him in the future. He seems to be out of his mind.
“This place isn’t far from your village. You can take these children back by yourself. My carriage can’t accommodate so many people.”
Mavis nodded. “Mm, there’s no need to trouble you to travel such a short distance. It’ll be quick if I bring them back by foot.”
After Shirley left, these children did not follow Mavis because they did not know her.
Mavis left alone and went to a secluded place to meet a luxuriously dressed lord.
“Mavis, how’s the mission going?”
“My lord, through my interaction with Princess Shirley’s familiar, I realized that he is no different from what rumors have described. He has never left the carriage since yesterday except when he ate.”
The lord nodded and said, “I know about this. You can go back first. You don’t have to worry about this matter anymore.”
After returning to the carriage, Shirley looked at Pan Liang who was still sleeping. She was suddenly furious.
“You’re still sleeping? I really don’t know how you can be sleeping all the time. Isn’t it uncomfortable lying down?”
Of course, Pan Liang was not sleeping at this time. He could not sleep at any time. He was just lying in the carriage with his eyes closed.
“Forget it. If you continue behaving like this, I can’t be bothered with you.”
[Ding! Shirley’s Grievance Points were detected. Grievance Points +50.]
[… Grievance Points + 30.]
[… Grievance Points +15.]
Her grievance had only lasted for a few minutes. No matter how angry she was, she would not be able to hold it for long.
Seeing that her Grievance Points were gone, Pan Liang tried to fall asleep again.
Anyone who had slept for a long time would know that falling asleep again after waking up was difficult.
Fortunately, Pan Liang noticed that his Experience Points were still on the increase. Hence, he did not force himself to fall asleep.
“Based on the Lie-Flat System, it seems that I can still gain experience even without sleeping. Apparently, I can gain experience when I slack and do nothing.
“But how can I slack? Fine. I’ll just lie down first. If this little witch finds out that I’m just putting on an act, I won’t be able to slack anymore.”
When it was close to noon, Shirley parked the carriage by a river.
“There should be fish in this river. I shall catch a few fish to eat.”
She had learned quite a number of simple spells, many of which were closely related to life.
She used the Water Ball Skill to catch fish this time. This basic skill enabled her to summon a water ball directly from the river.
However, the water ball could not be summoned randomly. Every time she summoned it, there would be one or two big fish in it.
Once she threw the water ball to the shore, she caught some fish.
Pan Liang stuck his head out of the carriage and saw Shirley killing fish skillfully. “Well, she looks quite skillful. It seems that she has killed a lot of fish in the past.”
After killing the fish, Shirley found some firewood and started a fire by the river to roast the fish.
Pan Liang was speechless when he saw the scene. “Why does she always roast food? Don’t pots exist in this world?”
When the fish were almost cooked, Shirley stood by the carriage in hesitation.
When Mavis left, Shirley gave her the remaining bottle of seasoning.
Since Pan Liang said that he made the seasoning himself, Shirley thought of asking him for more seasoning.
However, she was rather embarrassed when she was about to ask him for more seasoning. It was because she had just grumbled about him in the carriage. She could not bring herself to ask him.
Pan Liang, who was in the carriage, knew what she was trying to do. Seeing the little witch’s conflicted face, he directly tossed out a bottle of seasoning.
“Take it. Give me one fish when it’s done.”
After taking the seasoning, Shirley happily went to roast the fish. Pan Liang was speechless when he saw her behavior.
“I really don’t know how this girl survived in this world. She’s so silly yet sweet. Who knows she might be sold one day.”
“Pan Liang, you’re bad. You know I don’t have seasoning, yet you made me struggle so much by the side of the carriage. I won’t give you any fish when it’s done.”
Shirley mumbled to herself beside the bonfire. Even if she chose not to roast a fish for Pan Liang, she was aware that it would not make a difference considering his rapid movement.
As expected, Pan Liang appeared beside the bonfire as soon as the fish was roasted. Then, he snatched one of the fish away.
“Mm, your skills are good, but eating this kind of roasted food too much isn’t good for your body. Let’s buy a pot when we get to the city.”
Shirley pretended not to hear Pan Liang’s words and deliberately ignored him.
Pan Liang was not angry either. He got into the carriage after he finished eating.
After putting out the fire by the river, Shirley seemed to spot the magic wave in front. Obviously, it was the monsters’ magic wave.
Shirley quickly ran to the side of the carriage. “Pan Liang, quickly get up. Some monsters have appeared in front.”
Pan Liang was indifferent to her words. In fact, he had already noticed the movements of the monsters.
Those few little monsters’ power was only below Level 5. At this point, Shirley was already at Level 13, so there was no need to worry at all.
In truth, Pan Liang was only at Level 6, which was lower than Shirley’s level.
Deep down, he muttered, “These monsters have such a low level. There’s no need for me to do anything. I shall go back to sleep.”
Upon realizing that Pan Liang remained still, Shirley decided to deal with those monsters herself.
With that, she took out her dagger and stood in front of the carriage.
To be honest, it was inappropriate for a little witch like her to play with a dagger. Pan Liang looked at Shirley who was holding the dagger with both hands. He could not help but frown.
“She’s a princess, after all. Plus, she learned magic, yet she doesn’t even have a magic staff.”
