"I'm afraid Macchiato still won't agree, right?"
Hong Mudan didn't criticize Yu Zhong too much; she simply explained the current situation. Yu Zhong knew he couldn't hide it and could only admit that he couldn't persuade Macchiato.
"It seems this matter is indeed difficult to handle."
"Mom, how much longer can you hold on?"
"I'm not too sure either, but my period should start in the next day or two. Even if it does, I think I should be able to fight if the reaction isn't too bad."
"No, no, that's too dangerous. Everyone saw what Dafeng's body looked like after her period."
Because Niu Zida's concubines were frequently pregnant, they never had a chance to menstruate. Menstruation is essentially a protective mechanism of the body, a periodic bleeding of the uterus. Because of frequent pregnancies, this mechanism is suppressed, and once it gets a chance, the body's reaction is much stronger than before.
In fact, after Niu Zida's female slaves entered into a service contract, their bodies were healthy enough to maintain their health through continuous pregnancies and the power gained from Niu Zida's virginity. However, many bodily functions have inertia. Even if there is no actual effect, the feedback reaction still exists. It's similar to pollen allergy. Pollen doesn't cause much harm to the body and doesn't require such a strong reaction, but the body's own protective mechanism causes an overactive anti-allergic reaction.
"This seems to be a really tricky situation."
Niu Zida wasn't just putting on an act for Yu Zhong; Aponia is now a key member of the fighting force, and it would be troublesome if she couldn't participate in the battle.
"If that doesn't work, I'll try to persuade Macchiato again."
"Honey, let's forget about it. If you go, Macchiato will only hate you more. I'll go and try. Besides, it's not good for Macchiato to run around outside like this. It's quite dangerous outside. I'll go look for her."
Unexpectedly, Daiyan volunteered, which shows that she also realized that the current situation is quite critical.
After receiving permission from Niu Zida, Daiyan got up and left. After searching around for a while, she finally found Macchiato squatting on the ground with her legs wrapped around her black-stockinged knees in a secluded corner of the town. After all, the town was only so big and there was a lot of danger outside, so Macchiato had nowhere to hide.
"Macchiato, why are you staying in a place like this? Even though monsters don't appear much during the day, it's still dangerous. Let's go back."
"I don't want to go back..."
"Did your husband talk to you about it? Is it because you hate doing that thing?"
"That kind of thing is disgusting. Daiyan, what are you thinking? How could you agree to something like that?"
Macchiato was indeed not good at hiding her true feelings. When Daiyan asked her about it, she immediately revealed her true thoughts. After all, she didn't want to hide her disgust for Niu Zida for even a moment.
"Of course I don't like it either, but this is to save the whole town and for my husband's dream. If we don't have the power, we can only stay in this town and be trapped to death for the rest of our lives. After my husband dies of old age, we, as tactical dolls, will also dissipate. Do you really like a life that slowly rots away like a ripe fruit?"
Daiyan's words struck a nerve with Macchiato. How could she possibly want to waste her life in a small town on the edge of the desert? But that didn't mean she wanted to use her body to serve the goblins to escape her current predicament. For Macchiato, being trapped in the town and serving Niu Zida were probably no different.
"I don't want to live like that, but does serving Niu Zida really make life happy?"
“That’s just a necessary means to gain power. I didn’t want to accept that at first… but life is never smooth sailing, and there’s a limit to being willful. Do you think you can gain power without paying any price? Is that the kind of mindset you have when you’re following your husband around? Or does Macchiato think it’s good enough to be protected by others like this?”
Macchiato confronted Daiyan with a righteous indignation, only to be silenced by Daiyan's retort. To be honest, the competitive Macchiato certainly didn't like seeing Daiyan and Red Peony fighting while she could only live under someone else's protection, holding Somi. This feeling was another kind of humiliation for the proud Macchiato.
"me……"
Macchiato stammered, unsure how to refute, when just then a buzzing, ear-piercing sound of wings came from the sky. A black shadow, five or six meters tall and resembling an eagle, swooped down from the sky and attacked Macchiato from behind.
"Be careful……"
Daiyan noticed the dark shadow attacking Macchiato from behind and quickly split off to push her aside. Before Macchiato could understand what was happening, the large black shadow flapped its wings and flew away. Only then did she realize that the shadow was actually a giant insect.
"How can it be so big..."
Without bothering to explain to Macchiato, Daiyan took out her automatic rifle and began firing at the insect, quickly shooting it down. Macchiato stared in surprise at the insect's corpse lying on the ground, noticing that its mandibles were stained with blood and had bits of human flesh hanging on them. Needless to say, this was an insect that had attacked humans.
"This is... a real stinging insect?"
Although Macchiato had encountered monster attacks in the town before and had seen many insects, she had never seen one this big. Could it be that Daiyan and the others were fighting these terrifying creatures all night long?
"To be precise, it's just a clone of the true stinging insect; it would be much larger at night."
This was nothing like the monsters that had attacked the town over the past year. Macchiato widened her beautiful eyes in surprise, unable to believe that these monsters had evolved to such a terrifying level in just one week. No wonder Aponia and the others always said that their combat strength was insufficient. Fighting such terrifying creatures with just a few people was indeed too weak.
"Have you all worked this hard this week? Why don't you just say so?"
"There's no point in saying it outright."
Daiyan gave a bitter smile. After all, just five minutes ago, Macchiato was still unwilling to participate in the battle, so what was the point of Daiyan saying anything?
While her companions fought desperately, even sacrificing their bodies to gain power, she was being willful and picky, refusing to contribute her own strength and comfortably enjoying protection. Macchiato felt ashamed at this thought, and now she understood how kind Daiyan had been to call her willful.
"As you can see, it's not safe outside the town right now. Whether we want to fight or not, let's go back first."
After Daiyan finished speaking, she took Macchiato back to the mansion. This time, Macchiato followed behind Daiyan without saying a word. Having just been protected, Macchiato knew that she had no right to cause trouble.
Back at the mansion, Red Peony and Aponia both came to check on Macchiato to see if she was hurt, which made Macchiato feel even more ashamed, as if she was the one causing trouble for everyone.
"Alright, since Macchiato doesn't want to, let's not talk to her about this anymore, otherwise it will be too dangerous for her to run away again."
"Yes, Macchiato, we're so sorry. We were too hasty before. We'll do our best to protect everyone from now on, so you don't need to rush into battle."
Unexpectedly, even Red Peony apologized to her, but the more she said this, the more embarrassed Macchiato felt, especially since Red Peony, despite apologizing, had...
Chapter 735
With a smug look on her face, it was more of a mockery than taking care of herself. How could a stubborn and beautiful girl allow Red Peony to speak from a position superior to hers?
Macchiato looked at Red Peony with a hint of anger in her beautiful eyes. Red Peony, having won the argument, wore a smug expression on her gorgeous face. She even hugged Niu Zida and kissed his forehead with her red lips, deliberately saying:
"Master, you'll have to do it with me a few more times later, fill up all the little holes in my body. After all, we have to go out to fight monsters tonight. If Aponia isn't feeling well, I'll have to do my part too. But I'll fight hard to repay Master, and I'll also protect my husband, Daiyan, Somi, the residents of the town, ah... and of course, the cutest Macchiato."
Attacked by Red Peony's sarcastic and teasing language, even the good-tempered Macchiato couldn't take it anymore. She stood up abruptly and said to Yu Zhong:
"Honey, I've made up my mind. I will go into battle."
"Hey, Macchiato, but didn't you say before..."
"Yes, Miss Macchiato, no one can force you if you don't want to. The signing of a service contract requires the consent of the person involved."
"I am willing!"
Macchiato practically spat out those words through gritted teeth, glancing at the smug Red Peony beside her. She couldn't take this constant taunting any longer. Even being a slave was better than silently enduring this endless mental humiliation...
Chapter 494 Macchiato's Recognition of a Master
Chapter 494.
"Macchiato, are you willing?"
"I'm willing, is that alright?"
Macchiato snorted as if in a huff, thinking to herself, how could she possibly disagree with such a situation? So her reply to Red Peony was naturally not pleasant.
"You don't have to force yourself if you don't want to."
"Alright, alright, Red Peony, stop teasing Macchiato."
After finally getting Macchiato's agreement, Daiyan playfully scolded Hong Mudan, telling her not to stir things up, and then came up and took Macchiato's snow-white little hand, saying:
"Macchiato, you've finally figured it out, that's great!"
"Yes, Macchiato, thank you."
"Humph……"
Faced with Yu Zhong's gratitude, Macchiato simply rolled her eyes, completely ungrateful. After all, wasn't it her incompetent husband who had caused her current predicament? For him to thank her directly was utterly ironic.
Yu Zhong was so frightened by Macchiato's glare that he shrank back and fell silent.
"But I haven't said I agree yet."
Unexpectedly, Niu Zida said something completely out of the ordinary, but it was quite reasonable, since Niu Zida had never said he wanted to take Macchiato as his slave.
"Master... please stop joking..."
This time, not only Daiyan, but even Hongmudan was gently rocking Niu Zida, who was eating his large jujubes. Niu Zida, however, was holding Hongmudan's soft, large jujubes and playing with them, completely unmoved. Daiyan saw this and quickly looked at Aponia. She knew that only this highest-ranking female slave in the harem could successfully persuade Niu Zida at this moment.
"Master, why don't you want a macchiato?"
"With so many beautiful girls in my harem, why should I force Macchiato to join me? And why should I be resented by her, as if I were the one forcing Macchiato? I won't bear such a bad reputation. I'm a respectable person."
Aponia took Niu Zida from Red Peony's arms and let him take turns sucking on her big nipples. Niu Zida happily lifted Aponia's black silk breast cover and bit and sucked on her tender red nipples. The stimulation made Aponia's fair face blush with shame, and she couldn't help but let out a slight moan.
"But we're doing this to save the town."
"But from what Macchiato just said, it seems like accepting me as her master is a sacrifice. If she's so unwilling, why should I make her sacrifice herself?"
“Mr. Niu Zida, please don’t mind Macchiato’s attitude just now. She meant no harm.”
Yu Zhong hadn't expected Niu Zida to change his mind at this point, and he was inwardly groaning. He could only rush to beg Niu Zida for help, which put him in a difficult position.
"Miss Macchiato, are you really willing to be my slave?"
"I... Hmph..."
Originally, Macchiato thought she was the one who reluctantly agreed to the request, but now she felt like she was the one begging. Macchiato wanted to refuse Niu Zida on her own instincts, but before she could say it, Daiyan secretly tugged at her sleeve, her beautiful eyes signaling her not to be willful anymore, or this matter would just go on indefinitely.
"I would like to..."
Helpless, Macchiato could only mutter something under her breath. But Niu Zida, pretending not to hear, smugly ate Aponia's large jujube and said:
"Huh... what did you say? I didn't hear you."
"I said I'm willing to be your slave girl."
Macchiato clenched her little fists in anger, stomped her beautiful black-stockinged foot, gritted her teeth, closed her beautiful eyes, and shouted defiantly. But Niu Zida, taking advantage of the situation, said:
"That won't do; you have to write it out properly."
"What did you say? It's just a mere goblin. I've put up with you for a long time. What are you so smug about?"
Macchiato was so angry that she was about to rush out and beat up Niu Zida, but Daiyan quickly pulled her back. If Niu Zida were to be hit, the already chaotic situation would probably become even more uncontrollable.
"Macchiato, calm down."
"How can I stay calm with a guy like this?"
Macchiato pointed at Niu Zida indignantly. Actually, it wasn't entirely Macchiato's fault. She had already convinced Macchiato to accept the contract, even though she knew her master was causing trouble. Daiyan was also inwardly resentful of Niu Zida, but after all, granting Macchiato abilities was her husband's strategy. She hadn't understood it before, but recently Hong Mudan had revealed everything to her, and Daiyan had no reason not to cooperate with Yu Zhong's strategy. That's why she suddenly changed her attitude and started persuading Macchiato to acknowledge her master. Since they had come this far and were about to succeed, they couldn't possibly give up halfway.
“I’ll write it down, Macchiato, you can just read it. Just bear with it for now.”
Since Daiyan had already said so much, Macchiato could only remain silent. Red Peony, not wanting to disrupt their previous strategy, also smiled and helped Macchiato, saying:
"Master, now all we need to do is have Macchiato read out a letter of acknowledgment of mastery, right?"
"Yes, I'll agree if I actually read it myself."
Hearing that Niu Zida had relented, Yu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. Dai Yan then pulled Macchiato back to her room, and Yu Zhong followed. A little while later, the three of them came out. By then, Niu Zida had Da Feng hold him, letting him nibble on Da Feng's soft, large snowflakes.
"Looks like it's finished writing?"
Hearing Niu Zida's question, Macchiato simply nodded with an unpleasant expression. Actually, Yu Zhong and Dai Yan had been involved in the writing process; she hadn't looked at it at all. She had simply followed orders and read as instructed. Dai Yan quickly smiled and said:
"It's finished. Macchiato and I carefully wrote it together, word by word. Macchiato, why don't you read it aloud?"
Daiyan quickly pulled Macchiato over and pushed her in front of Niu Zida, hoping not to provoke him and make things more difficult for her. Macchiato understood Daiyan's good intentions and didn't want to cause him any more trouble, so she gently lifted her arm and read in a monotone tone:
Macchiato is willing to admit that cows
Chapter 736
Zida became her master, serving him faithfully and devotedly as his slave. Every day, she would use her body to please him and satisfy him...
How did Daiyan even come up with such vocabulary? Macchiato grew increasingly red-faced as she read, and finally couldn't continue. She threw a handful of paper on the ground and cursed Yu Zhong:
"You perverted husband, what are you writing...?"
Macchiato glared at Yu Zhong, watching her husband write such a disgusting declaration of acknowledgment of master. Then she noticed the bulge in Yu Zhong's crotch, and her contempt for him grew even stronger. After this period of time, Macchiato had finally seen through Yu Zhong's true character. He was not only cowardly and incompetent, but also a complete cuckold. His so-called strategy for gaining power was nothing but an excuse for self-indulgence.
"Well... in short, the recognition of the master's consciousness is complete. Is this alright, Master?"
"Huh? Is that all?"
"Alright, Master, stop fooling around. That's enough."
At this moment, Aponia finally stopped Niu Zida from continuing to pester her. After all, her physical condition might not be able to wait any longer. In order to prevent the loss of combat power during her period, it would be beneficial for everyone to quickly accept Macchiato. Continuing to mess around might delay things.
"Alright, since Mom said so, then I agree to take Macchiato as my slave girl. You agreed too, right, Macchiato?"
"I understand. I am willing to become Niu Zida's slave girl."
“Very well, then Macchiato will be my chamber pot.”
After this face-to-face questioning, the service contract was initially formed. However, this was only the establishment of the contract; to truly gain power, one still needed to transfer Niu Zida's bodily fluids. Everyone knew this, so Daiyan said:
"Then let the master bestow power upon Macchiato. Let's all leave and leave these two alone."
"Don't use it, everyone should stay here and watch. You all remember, right? If your husbands are watching, the transmission efficiency will be much higher, right, Mr. Yu Zhong?"
