Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild

Chapter 765 - 368: Meimei’s Equipment (2)

"You, you!" Meimei shouted in embarrassment and anger, "You’re just looking for an excuse to make me equipment with high exposure, aren’t you?!""Sigh... really, I’m not..."

Li Ang was in a difficult position, and with more endurance than when facing the Transcendent Demon Beast, he held back and sincerely explained, "This aligns with equipment creation theory, as the shape of the armor doesn’t meet the necessary strength, adjustments are needed."

He tugged at the corner of his mouth and knocked on the table, "Don’t always think of me as some bad guy, listen to me finish."

Li Ang told the young girl that he suggested changing the design to a skirt armor. Although the skirt part is relatively hollow inside, the armor on the skirt ensures protection below the waist and abdomen. Without making a skirt armor, armor plates cannot be attached there, and leather would have to be used instead.

"Since there are armor plates on both the legs and waist, using leather would actually make it more noticeable."

"Got it, got it." Meimei said with a flushed face, "Let’s do it as you say."

She immediately turned and walked towards the door of the captain’s room, and Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief.

As she was leaving, the young girl suddenly turned back, her face half-hidden by the door, and softly thanked him.

Li Ang let out a long sigh of relief and looked under the table.

Dorothy’s throat moved; she had a smiling but flushed face with involuntary tears and a shiny edge on her lips.

"Thanks for the meal."

Li Ang shook her head vigorously, gritting his teeth, "Why did I let this person join the group and get on the ship?"

"Hehe, now you can’t shake me off, um..."

She very gently and obediently began to clean up, as if she were a young beast intimately attached to him.

Li Ang sighed deeply and was about to say something when the door knocked again.

Will this ever stop?

Although the captain’s room hasn’t been peaceful since the Eternal Summer set sail, having so many people gathered like today was a first.

"Who is it?"

"Brother, it’s me."

ALulu giggled at the door, "I brought you lunch."

Indeed, he had asked her to do so, so this was Li Ang’s own issue.

He gestured to Dorothy to behave, then leaned forward, "Come in."

Xiaoniu peeked his head through the door, glanced inside to ensure no one else was present, then smiled back and closed the door.

This action caused Li Ang’s heart to tighten again.

Normally, he would have smiled and appreciated how adorable her joy at being alone was, but now, on the surface and in reality, things were not the same.

"Come, take a look at how I’ve done?"

With a dedicated kitchen and ingredients of her choice at her disposal, ALulu had been cooking many delicious yet unique dishes these past days.

Though naturally talented, she hadn’t studied culinary arts formally, so the dishes she presented weren’t any conventional cuisine, but they were always imbued with her sincerity, and the taste was generally good.

The plate held roasted poultry with a crispy aroma, a stew combining tuber plants and cream, a vegetable salad, a soft bread with a steaming cup of milk beside it.

"Brother, I put..."

Xiaoniu smilingly introduced the seasoning and thought process during the cooking.

She wouldn’t do this for others; it was only because of her affection that she wanted her crush to know the effort she put in.

Li Ang’s waist stiffened, as the unruly Golden Canary began to act up again.

ALulu’s sweet, lilac eyes were constantly observing Li Ang’s expression and noticed the subtle changes in his face.

"What’s wrong? Doesn’t brother like this kind of taste?"

"No, you considered a lot of factors. It’s all middle-ground flavors you chose."

The person under the table intensified her movements as if showing off, and Li Ang almost revealed a grimacing expression.

He even had the urge: ALulu is a very close person, so even if she found out, so what? But thinking about the weird atmosphere it might create within the group and potentially disrupt the young girls’ cooperation, he held back.

"Is it the milk you have an issue with?" ALulu asked.

Li Ang couldn’t control his gaze from wandering, just scuffling by the milk, leading the young girl to the wrong conclusion.

"Uh, no..."

Li Ang quickly retaliated with his hand under the table, attacking the Half-Elf in an undefended area; the creature immediately reacted, twitching nervously, slowing the attack.

But the rogue quickly adapted instead, seemingly thinking it was a good thing, becoming even wilder.

Unable to handle both ALulu under such pressure, this pause of a second was just enough for the Horned Race young girl to misinterpret.

A blush rose on her tender cheeks as she giggled, "Bro-brother, could it be that you think this milk is mine..."

Damn it, she’s completely misunderstood.

ALulu pursed her lips and cooed angrily, "I am a chef, so preparing this while making formal meals is impossible, no matter what, right? Brother, you’re so naughty."

Although he wanted to retort about what she would do when not making formal meals, facing Dorothy’s escalating antics, Li Ang could only give Xiaoniu an awkward smile.

"But."

ALulu suddenly changed her tone.

Her face grew redder, and her voice began to tremble, "If-if brother wants to taste it, actually, it’s not-not impossible..."

"I mean..."

"I’m confident about this aspect; it must be better than store products. Especially since it’s because of you..."

ALulu took a step forward and grasped Li Ang’s arm, gently drawing him towards her.

It’s over. The captain’s room, such a sacred place, became improper within just a few days. Li Ang was utterly despairing.

The girl who gradually tied her heart to him was offering her profound love, and due to racial traits, he immediately felt everything from the moisture.

A flame ignited in Li Ang’s chest, quickly spreading throughout his body.

Enough, so be it, no need to act like a righteous gentleman any longer.

He found his target with his fingers and pulled it out, lowering his head as if releasing pressure from the other side, conveying his feelings to Xiaoniu.

"Hmm..."

ALulu’s small, tender hands covered her mouth, unable to suppress the change in her voice.

The captain’s room fell into an unusual silence but felt as though it was filled with emotion and affection like a storm.

After spending some special time with Li Ang, which wasn’t too short, and seeing him madly eat the lunch she made, ALulu left glowing with her platter.

Once the pink-haired girl was gone, Li Ang’s first action was to rush to the door and lock it, even neglecting to dress properly.

"You, come here."

Li Ang said in a deep voice, pointing at Dorothy, who was kneeling on the floor and peeking out her head.

"Okay~"

The Half-Elf drawled her tone, not standing up, moving along in a crawl toward him.

"You wretched fish, I didn’t hold it against you once, and you act up again?! Every time I start, you act like you’re dripping water. This is my new room! The floor needs thorough cleaning so quickly, do you have no shame?"

"None."

Dorothy came to Li Ang, laying her side face on his foot.

Li Ang took a deep breath and grasped her throat.

"Since you like it, then come on."

Ever since being affected by the demon curse, the violence factor has been increasingly evident, plus this guy’s deliberate provocation, Li Ang had no mercy, grabbing her hair violently turned her back towards him, then pressing her head downward into a recline.

"This-this position is..." The Half-Elf shivered a bit.

"Anyway, you have no shame, so be used as a tool for me."

In this position, she found it hard to breathe, difficult to move, only able to fully bear his punishment.

Though knowing for her it might not even be punishment, he hadn’t yet thought of a way to restrain this morally corrupt Golden Canary, doing so purely to vent his anger.

Dorothy had a face full of pain, yet immersed in bliss.

After this day, Li Ang left aside his previous work, first going to the onboard workshop to improve the captain’s room door, equipping it with a theoretically unpick-able lock unless knowledge of unlocking magic was possessed.

He decided to further reinforce the lock once at Thousand Tower City until no one could enter his room without permission.
