Chen Yu couldn't stop laughing as he stared at the projection on his wristband.
This fat sheep.
He must have accumulated a lot of good karma in his past life.
Starting in the underground caverns, he had stumbled upon such a fluffy lamb, so easy to shear.
"Boss, why are you grinning like that?" Hei Dou tilted his head. Chen Yu flicked the back of his head.
The impact sent him spinning in a perfect 360-degree flip.
Hei Dou: =͟͟͞͞('ヮ'三'ヮ'=͟͟͞͞)
What's happening?
Who am I?
Where am I?
Hei Dou, now standing on all fours, looked around in a daze.
Had he just flown?
Chen Yu didn't have time to deal with him; he was still contemplating this magic business.
"I am your father!"
Were magic incantations really this casual?
He desperately needed an experimental subject.
Seeing Hei Dou standing there, bewildered and looking left and right, a mischievous smile crept onto Chen Yu's lips.
"I am your father~"
The dazed Hei Dou turned back, only to see Chen Yu leaning in close to his ear.
"I am your father~"
"I am your father."
Hei Dou: ∑(´△`)?!
"What are you spacing out for? I said I'm your father!"
Chen Yu suddenly widened his eyes.
Hei Dou: ∑(o_o;)
"Boss, are you having an episode?" Hei Dou looked up blankly. "I look up to you as an elder brother, but you want to be my father? From now on, you call me 'younger brother,' and I'll call you 'father'? That doesn't make sense either!"
Chen Yu: "(・᷄ὢ・᷅) Huh?"
He sat down cross-legged, resting his chin on his hand.
It didn't work?
Aren't magic incantations like this?
"I am your father."
The incantation for the Devil's Whisper.
Is this magic fake?
(♯`∧´)
Chen Yu's expression turned sour. Hei Dou, standing nearby, swallowed hard at the sight of his face.
Hei Dou: (´◔‸◔`) Maybe... you are?
Chen Yu, sitting on the ground, completely ignored him and suddenly extended his arm.
Hei Dou shot back over two meters in a flash.
"What are you running for? Am I going to beat you?" Chen Yu glanced at him.
"Maybe," Hei Dou replied.
Chen Yu looked at him and sighed softly, but said nothing more.
He was pondering the magic.
Understood.
Hei Dou had already signed a spirit contract with him and could no longer be enslaved.
That had to be it.
(ง•̀_•́)ง
He trotted a few steps over to Kuka and whispered.
"I am your father~"
Kuka, whose eyes were glued to the golden chest and who was drooling, stiffened.
Kuka: (꒪ȏ꒪)?
So sudden?
Kuka was also bewildered by Chen Yu's whisper.
Could it be?!
Was it his frantic kowtowing.
His boss was moved?
He was going to be adopted as a godson.
He was about to rise in status.
It's just that suddenly recognizing a father out of the blue felt... a little bit...
"I am your father~"
This time, Chen Yu was practically leaning into Kuka's ear.
Kuka's hair stood on end.
He felt like he had no choice but to agree.
"You... you are my father." Kuka nodded, shrinking his neck.
Ah!
It worked.
Chen Yu stared at Kuka with wide eyes.
"I am your father."
"Ah!"
"I am your father, I am your father."
"Uh..." Kuka looked completely bewildered (・◇・)? "So, so, should I be? Should I kowtow to you now?"
(๐•̆·̭•̆๐):This feels wrong.
"Am I your father or not? Have you been brainwashed?" Chen Yu asked.
Kuka: ("◎o◎;;) Huh?"
Chen Yu glared. "You haven't been brainwashed, so why are you agreeing to that?"
Kuka: (・ヘ・?)
Kuka still hadn't understood what Chen Yu was talking about.
"Didn't you learn it? The Devil's Whisper," Chen Yu said in a low voice. "What I just said was the magic incantation. Didn't you feel it brainwashing you?"
"Devil's Whisper? I haven't learned it," Kuka said, shrugging.
"Ah?"
"I've never learned Devil's Whisper. That magic book requires very high elemental affinity, which I haven't reached yet. Boss, have you learned it?"
"Then let me consult you, is the magic incantation, 'I am your father,' reliable?"
"Uh..."
Seeing Kuka's expression, Chen Yu sat down on the ground.
=͟͟͞͞(꒪⌓꒪*)
He seemed to have learned fake magic.
"Should I try it on that lion?" Hei Dou shuffled closer.
Hearing this, Chen Yu's expression suddenly lit up.
At that moment, Jack, tied to a cross, looked listless. He gazed affectionately at Rosie, murmuring softly.
"Rosie, poor Rosie."
*Thump thump thump.*
Footsteps approached.
Jack, with his infatuated gaze, immediately feigned death.
Feeling someone approaching him, Jack intensified his act of feigning death.
Don't think about anything, just play dead.
"I am your father~"
Jack, who was feigning death, felt a surge of annoyance but remained silent.
Damn foreigner.
Wants to be his father?!
Dream on!
If it weren't for the foreign devil draining several liters of his blood, he would have already been at death's door. Now he would definitely put up a fight.
"I am your father~"
"I am your father~"
"I am your father, I am your father, I am your father."
It was like a monk chanting, repeated endlessly in his ear.
*Creak.*
Jack's veins began to bulge on his forehead.
He was a lion too, and he had pride when insulted like this.
He couldn't stand it anymore.
Jack: ヽ(#`Д´)ノ What do you want?!
"I am your father."
Chen Yu stared intently at him, his eyes full of anticipation as he spoke again.
#!!!
Jack: (*`皿´*)ノ Don't push it too far. If you want to fight, let's fight. The dignity of a prairie lion cannot be defiled.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yu lowered his head and said nothing.
He panted heavily, exhaling forcefully.
(งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง⁼³₌₃
He couldn't take it anymore.
What kind of crappy magic was this? It didn't even work.
It was supposed to be a whisper.
Wasn't he just whispering?
Why wasn't there any effect?
What, was he not demonic enough?
He suddenly looked up.
Chen Yu's brow furrowed instantly.
Demon?
Becoming a demon isn't that hard.
Chen Yu looked at the prairie lion as if his eyes were spewing fire.
He twisted his neck and wrists.
*Crackle, crackle.*
Jack: ((((;°Д°)))) You, you, you, what are you going to do? Don't come over! If you come over, I'll shout!
*Bang!*
Chen Yu jumped up and delivered a powerful blow to Jack's head.
*Ding dong dong.*
It took Chen Yu a full minute before he stopped.
He pointed his finger at Jack, who had been beaten into a pulp ( ̄e(# ̄).
(`ヘ´)=3: "Am I your father?"
( ̄e(# ̄)Σ: Yes, yes, stop hitting me, you are, you are. From now on, you are my father.
【Ding】
【Enslavement Successful】
Chen Yu was stunned when he saw the notification.
━Σ(゚Д゚|||)━
This actually worked?
He looked back at the tied-up Jack. Before Chen Yu could even speak,
Jack (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) : "You are, you really are. I admit defeat. Okay? From now on, I'll follow your lead. Isn't it just casting an enslavement aura? You could have just told me, why beat me up like this?"
Huh?
It was enslavement already?
Chen Yu opened his wristband and saw a new enslavement option suddenly appear in the camp.
1. Prairie Lion Jack, Loyalty 99
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) Holy moly! ━=͟͟͞͞(Ŏ◊Ŏ‧̣̥̇)━!!!
He was dumbfounded.
He was just feeling a bit angry and wanted to vent.
It actually worked?
Beating him up counted as being demonic? wΑp.kanshu伍.net
What kind of magic incantation was this?
What?
"I am your father" was the prefix for chanting.
It required subsequent casting.
But it didn't mention anything about subsequent casting.
Chen Yu looked back at Kuka.
*Thud.*
Kuka knelt down.
【Ding】
【Enslavement Successful】
"You are," said Kuka, wearing two woven sacks, with sincerity. "Boss, please don't hit me, you are, you really are..."
Enslavement List.
2. Trainee Mage Kuka the Horned Ground Mouse, Loyalty 101
"Eh?"
Chen Yu frowned suddenly.
"Kuka, stand up," Chen Yu patted Kuka's shoulder and then suddenly frowned at Jack. "Kuka's loyalty is 101, why are you only 99? I think you're not convinced."
Chen Yu twisted his arms and walked towards Jack with narrowed eyes.
The tied-up Jack trembled with fear.
"I'm convinced, I'm really convinced!"
"I really... Ow, I'm convinced, I... I'm convinced, I'm truly convinced, stop hitting me, I'm really convinced, stop hitting me, Father... Father!!!"
"I'm really convinced!!!!"
