By the time they returned to the house, Lola was practically dead tired. Discarding all image, she tossed the things onto the floor, flopped down onto the sofa, and refused to get up.

  ?"Finally home..."

  ?Lola murmured. The moment she laid on the sofa, she felt as if she had come back to life.

  ?However, a wave of soreness still radiated from her arms. She looked over at Loren, who was already reclining in a chair, holding his Alpha X and starting to surf the Magic Network. Her little eyes were filled with immense resentment. This heartless master truly hadn't helped her carry the bags for even half a second along the way.

  ?"Lola, I'm thirsty. Pour me a glass of juice from the refrigerator."

  ?Loren said while scrolling through his tablet.

  ?Lola: ￣へ￣

  ?If resentment could be quantified, Loren would definitely be able to see the numbers "Resentment +999" constantly popping up above Lola's head right now.

  ?Meanwhile, Loren opened a shopping website. It was about time to stock up on goods again. Recently, "Taobao Network" had released a batch of good items. Loren had bought most of his magic scrolls and rings from here.

  ?Loren had already stockpiled enough ordinary magic scrolls, so he only wanted premium items now. For example, the newly released Holy Light series of items were quite good. With a tap of his finger, Loren added them all to his shopping cart and clicked checkout. Having an Epic-tier account was just that awesome. While others had to wait for the exact hour to scramble for purchases, Loren had priority purchasing rights and directly swept the shelves clean.

  ?"Once this batch of goods arrives, I should be able to start my research on Celestial Magic," Loren thought to himself. He casually took the juice that Lola weakly handed over and took a sip.

  ?"Why didn't you add ice?" Loren frowned and said.

  ?I want to ask why you don't go fly to heaven... Lola was so angry, but since she was a maid, she could only maintain a smile and go back to change the glass for Loren.

  ?"My shoulders are a bit sore. Give me a massage." Before Lola could even breathe a sigh of relief, Loren spoke again.

  ?Lola pouted: "My hands hurt a lot. Can you let me rest for a bit?"

  ?Loren thought for a moment: "...You can."

  ?Lola had originally prepared a whole bunch of words to persuade Loren, but this answer choked all her subsequent words back down her throat.

  ?Since when did this guy become so kind-hearted? She thought in confusion.

  ?However, Loren's next sentence almost killed her with anger.

  ?"Alright, your 'bit' of rest is over. Now massage my shoulders."

  ?Lola: "???"

  ?She felt like she was going to warp from anger.

  Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

  ?Seeing Lola's furious expression, Loren couldn't help but show an expression of surprise: "Didn't I let you rest for a bit? Why do you still have such great resentment?"

  ?"The 'bit' I meant wasn't a literal 'bit'!" Lola said through gritted teeth.

  ?"If that was the case, then you should have made it clear from the start. If you don't make it clear, how would I know how long you want to rest?" Loren revealed an expression of sudden realization and said.

  ?"I want to rest for an hour." Lola sighed.

  ?"Oh..." Loren nodded: "Denied."

  ?Lola: "???" If you're going to deny it, then what the hell are you nodding for!!

  ?"Why denied??" Suppressing the urge to go crazy, Lola glared at him and asked.

  ?"Because you already rested for a bit just now. If you want to rest again, wait until next time," Loren said.

  ?"But didn't I just say I didn't make myself clear earlier!!"

  ?"Yes... and because you didn't make it clear, you wasted your chance to rest. Although I feel sorry for you, who can be blamed for your slow brain?"

  ?"..."

  ?Lola's eyes welled with tears. This guy was definitely doing this on purpose, this unscrupulous Great Demon King!

  ?In the end, Lola could only endure her sore hands and massage Loren's shoulders. Moreover, when massaging him, Lola used all her strength, as if venting her resentment. However, Lola later helplessly discovered that Loren had an expression of pure enjoyment on his face...

  ?...

  ?After resting, considering that the food Lola could cook right now was inedible, Loren directly ordered a takeout service.

  ?Lola raised both hands in approval of this. However, after the delivery brought the prepared food along with a large amount of raw ingredients, Lola looked completely bewildered.

  ?"What am I eating?"

  ?Lola watched eagerly as Loren ate a slice of piping hot pizza. The golden, rich cheese emitted a strong aroma, topped with large chunks of chicken, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, and other vegetables, making Lola constantly salivate.

  ?"Isn't the food you're eating right here?"

  ?Loren glanced at her and pointed to the pile of unprepared ingredients by her feet.

  ?Lola's eyes widened: "These things are all raw, how am I supposed to eat them?"

  ?"So you can go to the kitchen, cook them, and then eat them."

  ?"But I have absolutely no idea how to prepare these things! What if the food I make gives me a stomachache?" Lola said angrily.

  ?Loren thought about it and said, "It doesn't matter, since I'm not the one eating it anyway."

  ?Lola: "...???" This was the first time she had encountered such a shameless human. She almost had the urge to undo her seal and kill Loren.

  ?Of course, this thought only flashed by for a moment. Giving Loren a somewhat aggrieved look, Lola muttered complaints as she laboriously dragged the pile of ingredients into the kitchen.

  ?Smelling the aroma of the pizza, Lola's stomach was already rumbling with hunger. Under these circumstances, she had to do it even if she was being driven like a duck onto a perch.

  ?"You can do it."

  ?Seeing Lola struggling to drag the bag away, Loren didn't forget to cheer her on: "Make something edible soon, so I won't have to order takeout anymore."

  ?Hearing this final stab, Lola almost planted face-first onto the floor.

  ?A demon, this guy is absolutely a demon!

  ?Lola thought bitterly to herself. Once I perfect my cooking skills in the future, I must add lots of strange things into the food I give Loren to eat. I must make him have diarrhea every day!

  ?Facts proved that hungry people had a lot of potential. For Lola's first time cooking, although the resulting food tasted terrible and was hard to swallow, it was at least enough to fill her stomach.

  ?Imagining the food she was eating as the pizza Loren had eaten, Lola barely managed to finish her lunch. However, upon returning, she saw that more than half of the pizza was still left uneaten in front of Loren.

  ?Watching Lola walk out of the kitchen rubbing her little stomach, Loren's expression suddenly turned strange. Then he said with some uncertainty, "You didn't actually settle your lunch with the stuff you made yourself, did you?"

  ?Lola stared blankly at him, then looked at the large half of the pizza on the table.

  ?"I was just teasing you earlier, wanting to urge you to practice your cooking skills... I didn't expect you to be so straightforward," Loren smacked his lips and said.

  ?Rubbing her somewhat bloated stomach, and thinking of the tasteless failed product she had just painfully choked down, Lola finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears with a "Wah."

  ?"Idiot, idiot... Wuwuwu... I'm never going to talk to you again!"
