Chapter 4: Letting Go of Innocence and Morality

"That’s right…" Leo rubbed his forehead, feeling like his head might explode, but he forced himself to keep asking, "If you could swallow a mid-level believer, you could use her power to remove me from the list of sacrifices, and then I wouldn’t have to die."

"Yes, yes, that’s correct." Tina nodded and said, "Mid-level believers can have their own slave quotas. These slaves are carefully chosen by believers from human sacrifices. Not only can they avoid being sacrificed, but they also have a chance to become new believers."

"That’s great!" Leo let out a long breath, just about to say something, when he noticed Tina looking at him sadly.

"But…" Tina pouted unhappily, "But if that happens, Master would have to be my slave… I don’t want my Master to be a slave; I just want to be my Master’s slave…"

"？"

A question mark appeared on Leo’s forehead.

What nonsense is this!

Truly, it’s worthy of being a cheat from a r18 game.

Leo was almost confused by Tina’s way of thinking, but he patiently comforted her, saying, "It’s okay. Hmm… let’s pretend we are playing a role-playing game, alright?"

"Alright," Tina said shyly as she nodded. "But, Master, right now, there is only one warden among the mid-level believers, and she took some believers with her to catch an important human sacrifice. We don’t know when she will be back."

"Master will have to stay in the cell for a few more days."

"It’s okay," Leo nodded, realizing that the warden Tina mentioned was the priestess who took out the heart of the human sacrifice.

That seemingly gentle but truly fierce and wicked woman.

He understood that one cannot rush things. Since the plan was set, all they could do was be prepared and wait for events to unfold.

"Alright, Tina, you go do what you need to do and don’t let the other believers get suspicious." After thinking for a moment, Leo leaned closer to the female believer and reminded her, "Also, it would be best to help me prepare a map of this prison and a list of important people and their information, just in case."

"Okay… Master." Tina bit her lip and nodded. After looking around, she suddenly pouted. "So… can I get a little reward?"

As she spoke, she naturally wrapped her arms around Leo’s neck, her bright red lips glistening with moisture, and her charming face flushed with a shy red hue.

The sweet fragrance lingered at the tip of Leo’s nose, making him unconsciously move his throat.

Who would have thought that the bad woman Tina, who used to hit and kick him, has now become so charming and lovely?

And she still remembers everything and keeps her old habits.

Mucus engulfed her and created an Tina that looked just like her… what does this mean?

Before Leo could think more about these philosophical questions, Tina had already tackled him to the ground, and her soft, juicy tongue pried open his teeth, slipping smoothly into his mouth, entwining with him.

"Um… mmm~ slurp~ um… Master… I really like you… I’m so hot… I only like you…"

"…"

Leo slowly closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around her waist, lost in this bittersweet tenderness.

Well, no matter what, Tina has indeed become the devoted woman who belongs only to him.

………

………

"Hoo!"

Leo suddenly sat up in bed, his eyes landing on the familiar ceiling of his cell.

The feeling of his heart racing lasted a few seconds before it faded away, as the fear-induced adrenaline slowly slipped away.

He covered his forehead, which was dripping with cold sweat, gently leaned against the wall, touched the new mattress beneath him, and looked at the steak, seafood, bread, and various strange foods on the bedside table, finally feeling like he was alive.

After spending a little time with Tina last night, he was moved to a brand new cell.

According to Tina, his body was too weak right now; he couldn’t escape from prison, let alone turn Tina into a puff pastry.

Therefore, his first priority was to get better, prepare himself, and wait for the warden to return.

After calming down for a moment, Leo sat at the edge of the bed, tore the bread and meat into pieces, and sprinkled them into the porridge, mixing it into a simple liquid food.

For weak people, a liquid food rich in protein and carbohydrates is not only the best nourishment but also easy to absorb, and it does not harm the stomach.

The more critical the situation, the calmer one must be; one must not lose the chance to escape due to carelessness while eating.

After carefully eating until he felt a little full, Leo put down his bowl and chopsticks and sighed deeply.

He always had a clear understanding of himself; if he were to travel to a world with extraordinary powers, he might not survive past the third chapter.

And now, he really had traveled…

What a sad story.

But he wanted to live.

Therefore, he had to let go of his old world’s innocence and the morals that were useless here; even if his hands were stained with blood, he had to crawl out.

The winter day in the prison was very cold and gloomy, with light rain falling outside the iron bars, sending chills into his heart.

"Tap, tap, tap."

Once again, heavy footsteps echoed from outside the door.

The sound was clearly the footsteps of a man.

Leo thought for a moment and hid the meat-cutting knife in his coat, while using his mind to signal Tina to come back quickly.

Sure enough, half a minute later, a believer walked outside the prison and came into Leo’s sight, staring at him with a mocking and cruel gaze.

Leo recognized this believer; he was the one who almost caught Mucus devouring Tina last night.

His name was… Cass.

"Hey, kid, looks like you’re doing well…" Cass sneered, taking out the key to the cell and pushing open the iron door. "You were supposed to be sacrificed today, but instead you were delayed for over twenty days."

"Hehe, that awful Tina, I just don’t understand her. What is she thinking? She ignores a man like me and prefers someone like you, a pretty boy."

As Cass spoke, he slowly walked toward Leo.

Cass was very tall, at least six feet three inches. He was big and strong, and when he walked, he made Leo feel very scared.

"But it’s okay, she won’t see you for much longer. I will take you to meet our god right now."

Fear hit Leo again. He bit his tongue to make his mind work faster.

He hid the dagger while moving deeper into the cell, pretending to cry out in fear to buy some time, "M… Master, I… I will die in more than twenty days. I… I won’t disturb your plans…"

"More than twenty days, hahahaha, more than twenty days! I can’t believe you still have to be with Tina for more than twenty days!" Cass’s forehead was lined with veins, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot, "Just thinking about it makes me mad, that you, a pig, still have to be with Tina for more than twenty days."

"Being with that horrible woman who won’t even look at me, for more than twenty days, hehe, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it at all!" As he spoke, Cass pulled a whip from his coat, "I will kill you right now, pig!"

"Master… but… if you kill me now, won’t that mean you’ll have one less human sacrifice in twenty days? The God of Joy will be angry with you!" Leo shouted while waiting for his chance.

After last night’s trial, he still felt fear and scared, but his mind was clearer than ever before.

No matter his size or strength, he could not deal with the believer in front of him.

Luckily, Tina was rushing over from the main temple, and it was less than a two-minute walk from here.

As long as he could hold on until then, he would be the winner.

This evil believer who wanted to kill him must die.
