Chapter 481: Chapter 236: Priest’s Five Consecutive Level-Ups, Massive Attribute Boost

Feney, on the other hand, sat primly and properly, looking a little reserved.

Shefilya was helping with the meat stew while Lin Mo turned the roasting meat in front of him. This brief moment of leisure was wonderfully pleasant.

"Alright, it’s ready to eat."

As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, he grabbed Ali by the collar. "Don’t be in such a hurry. It’s still hot."

"Oh~"

Ali didn’t resist; her ears and tail drooped along with her head. Seeing her dejected look, Feney couldn’t help but let the corners of her mouth lift into a slight smile.

Lin Mo cut the roasted meat into reasonably small chunks to make it easier to eat.

He took plates and forks from his Ring of Space. Aside from sitting on the ground, the meal felt quite formal.

Quality of life was important, even in the wild. Now that he had the means, it was only natural to improve things as much as possible.

"Om nom~ Sho good!"

Ali, however, clearly wasn’t fond of using a fork. She still reached out with her bare hands, grabbing a piece of meat and stuffing it into her mouth.

Watching her wolf it down, her throat bobbing as she swallowed, Lin Mo coughed discreetly, pushing the inappropriate sense of déjà vu from his mind.

He forked a few pieces of meat onto a plate, cut the chunks into even smaller bits, and handed it to Feney.

The little girl took the plate with both hands and said in her still-soft, somewhat timid voice, "Thank you, Mr. Lin Mo."

"You’re welcome."

Lin Mo smiled, forked a piece of meat, and brought it to Feney’s lips.

"M-Mr. Lin Mo?"

Feney’s face instantly flushed red. She glanced at Ali, then at Shefilya, before her gaze drifted to Deke and his group not far away.

The Little Priest was still a bit thin-skinned, but in the end, she couldn’t resist the temptation. She opened her mouth and took a gentle bite of the tender, juicy roasted meat.

The rich juices burst in her mouth, the delicate texture mixing with a deep aroma. It was every bit as good as something from a high-end restaurant.

Having cooked for himself so many times, Lin Mo had gradually mastered the timing and techniques.

"Is it good?"

Feney nodded emphatically. Her light purple eyes were like mirrors, reflecting nothing but Lin Mo’s image.

"Lin Mo, I want some too!"

Ali, who was off to the side, grew displeased. She scooted over, wrapped her arms around Lin Mo’s neck, and started acting cute.

Lin Mo mercilessly pushed her away, his face a mask of playful "disgust." "Look at you, your mouth is covered in grease..."

He said this while taking out a handkerchief and carefully wiping her mouth.

Ali giggled foolishly, sitting up straight and cooperating fully.

Only after wiping her shiny, moist lips clean did Lin Mo fork a piece of meat and bring it to her mouth.

Ali took it in one bite with a CHOMP! Her eyes lit up. "Somehow... it feels like it tastes even better when you feed me, Lin Mo."

Lin Mo ruffled the wolf girl’s head. "How could there be any difference?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Feney staring at him with wide, pleading eyes, looking as pitiful as an abandoned kitten on the side of the road.

So he quickly forked another piece of meat and offered it to her.

"Lin Mo, I want more..."

More than ten minutes later, he had finally fed them both until they were full. Lin Mo let out a sigh of relief and leaned against a tree, his expression one of a man questioning his life choices.

Just then, Shefilya walked over, crouched beside him, and, with a blank expression, brought a piece of roasted meat to his lips.

"Please open your mouth, Master."

Lin Mo glanced at her. Although she looked as stiff as a wooden plank, her eyes had instinctively flickered away the moment they met his. She was clearly still a little shy.

Lin Mo enjoyed being fed by his little Maid for a moment, then suddenly pulled a fork from his Ring of Space, speared a piece of meat, and brought it to Shefilya’s lips.

"You haven’t had a single bite, have you? Come on, open up..."

Shefilya froze, stunned for a long moment.

She opened her mouth several times, wanting to say that this was improper, but she swallowed the words each time.

You can lie to anyone, but you can’t lie to yourself.

In the end, just as always, Shefilya obediently opened her mouth.

...

"Looks pretty intense over there."

Over with Deke’s group, the Ranger Hahn teased.

"They’re young..."

Deke shrugged. "Weren’t you the same when you were young?"

"Er—"

Hahn scratched his head in embarrassment. "When I was his age, I preferred to spend my nights on Flower Street."

Deke rolled his eyes, not bothering to respond.

His group was also full of experienced Adventurers. Their cooking skills weren’t exactly top-tier, but they were by no means bad. Coupled with the high quality of the Magic Beast Meat, they were eating quite well.

He leaned against a tree, gazing into the distance. Another hour or two of travel would bring them into the Blackwater Swamp.

Tomorrow, the journey would truly begin.

If they could cross the Blackwater Swamp smoothly within a day, the mission would be as good as complete.

Conversely, if they encountered too many Demons and their progress was delayed, things could get troublesome.

If they couldn’t cross the entire Blackwater Swamp before sunset tomorrow, they would have to travel through the night.

Although it was a dangerous prospect, by nightfall, they would likely be in the final leg of the journey—the most dangerous area. Stopping to camp for the night under those conditions would be out of the question.

Moreover, while past data suggested the probability was low—less than 5%—they still had to consider the possibility of encountering an Elite Level Demon...

’What a headache!’

Deke stood up, intending to take a walk and clear his head.

As he walked through the camp, he suddenly saw Glen, the caravan leader, holding a package and walking toward the carriage in the center of the convoy.

’What’s he up to?’

Deke was a little curious, but he looked away.
