Chapter 571: 333 Herbert, what on earth... (5.2K, extra Chapters 120, 121)_2

He exaggeratedly expressed his emotions, wobbling towards the bath while holding Valentina.

After they left, that little mirror still maintained its posture.

Not moving at all.

"I say... have you gotten fatter than before?"

"Hmm!?"

Faced with the sudden question from the petite doll, Teresa, who was stuffing her mouth with rations, was visibly taken aback.

She hesitated for a moment, then forcefully swallowed the food in her mouth.

Gulp!

Then, feeling a bit embarrassed, she put down the half-eaten bread in her hand and awkwardly shrunk her neck.

"Ah, I didn’t mean that, I wasn’t telling you to stop eating. You can keep eating." Miser realized Teresa had misunderstood and waved her hand, signaling her not to stop eating.

She really wasn’t stopping Teresa from eating, after all, it wasn’t her food anyway.

As a legendary level Myconid, she herself didn’t need to eat like humans.

She was genuinely curious — is eating really this enjoyable?

To know that, along the way, this little mixed-blood creature had been eating constantly.

Besides sleeping and resting, as soon as Teresa woke up her mouth never stopped, continuously eating.

Eat, eat, eat, sleep, eat, eat, eat...

And Teresa’s appearance had undergone significant changes due to this constant eating, looking quite different from when she left the Dark Territory.

The once thin and bony figure was gone, replaced by quite a bit of added fat all over her body, making her look much healthier.

Not just her body, but the smile on her face had also increased significantly, and the girl’s mental state improved even more.

When she first left the Dark Territory, her face was often filled with worry, not knowing what she was thinking.

By the midpoint of their journey, the anxiety on her face was gone, she looked more mentally stable.

Upon arriving here, the girl’s eyes were filled only with longing for food... completely indifferent to her surroundings.

Kid, open your eyes and take a look around!

Damn it, this is the Misty Mountains!

When Miser was brought to the Misty Mountains by Herbert, her first reaction was that she had been duped.

Where the hell have you brought me?

The territory you mentioned, is it inside here!!?

She knew that Herbert and his group were from the Mist Monastery and initially had no thoughts about their route — they had to go back anyway, and then divert to their territory.

As it turned out, they did make a detour, but after a turn, they ended up at the destination.

Misty Mountains! Divine Forbidden Area!

Is this place really suitable to be a territory?

Miser had many, many questions in her heart, but in the end, she swallowed all her questions out of trust for the contract and maintained her silence with difficulty.

Even if Herbert was deceiving her, it was only for ten years, at worst she could run away afterward.

After resigning to fate, Miser found that this place wasn’t as terrifying as she thought.

There was no sense of danger, nor could she feel the oppression from any Divine Spirit, it just felt like an ordinary mountain shrouded in thick fog.

And most importantly, the fog blocked the sunlight, making the area not too bright, which was quite suitable for a Myconid like her to survive.

Though she held no expectations for the future work environment, at least she was quite satisfied with the living conditions.

Once resigning to her fate, Miser’s attention turned to her companion.

This one was the follower of her future employer... hmm, perhaps it was more suitable to say adopted pet.

Miser couldn’t feel any threat from this weak girl, nor see any special abilities.

She naturally concluded that Herbert had taken her in out of a moment of softness — of course, this also aligned with his Paladin status.

Regardless of the other’s pet status or her own legendary strength, Miser didn’t entertain thoughts of treating her as an equal...

But, after watching Teresa eat all along the way, Miser’s opinion of her began to change.

It felt like watching a cute little animal, it was... quite interesting.

Seeing her eat, a desire to eat something rose within her as well.

After being subconsciously influenced by Teresa’s eating broadcast, Miser proactively asked, "I say, is eating really that fun?"

Although Miser had always been trying to mimic various human behaviors, she had never experienced the joy of eating.

Teresa was slightly dumbfounded by Miser’s question, tilting her head in confusion.

She had never thought something like this required contemplation.

The girl hesitated a bit and asked, "Uh, I find it very enjoyable, does Lady Miser not enjoy eating?"

Miser touched her own mouth, smacked her lips tastelessly, and shook her head saying, "I guess you could say I don’t really enjoy it, I’ve never found eating enjoyable."

It was merely a method of energy intake, no different from a Myconid rooting in the soil.

Upon hearing this, Teresa instinctively said, "Is that so... then that’s really too bad."

Immediately after speaking, Teresa quickly realized and hurriedly added, "Ah, I didn’t mean to mock you, I just, uh, really feel sorry for you."

The girl didn’t know how to convey her thoughts, awkwardly scratching her head and instinctively wanting to shove another piece of dry food into her mouth.

Miser waved her hand and said kindly, "It’s okay, I’m not upset, continue talking."

Teresa, a bit embarrassed, lowered her head and whispered, "I grew up in a rather poor little village."

"Even though I had money prepared by my father, there weren’t many outside merchants, and the village’s food supply was limited, often not something you could buy with money."
