The Consequences Of Being A Tyrant Chapter 15
byChapter 15 A New Food?! Only Like Me, Okay?……
Lin Yu didn’t really want to eat it. Firstly, the creature didn’t look very appetizing, and secondly, processing it would be extremely troublesome. He was also quite full right now.
So he asked softly, “Do I have to eat it?”
Lin Yu didn’t want to disappoint his caretaker, but he genuinely felt that the massive black creature was not a good food source.
Yanyan gazed at the little person. Residual blush still lingered on his face, and the gloom that had previously clouded his eyes was completely gone, leaving only clear, black eyes, like the ink wash of a landscape painting after the mist has cleared, transparent to the bottom.
He didn’t look unhappy.
This thought made Yanyan feel slightly better, but he still wanted the little person to be happier. He suddenly realized that even now, he had never heard the little person laugh brightly. Most of the time, those clear eyes were curved, but the soft, white little person smiled with great restraint.
[Ways to make a Pet happy: Prepare its favorite food and toys.]
But he had prepared so many things, and Jiao Jiao still hadn’t laughed out loud.
Even though he thought those food creatures laughed stupidly, he inexplicably felt that the sound of the little person laughing after eating them would surely be pleasant.
Yanyan said, “I want you to be happier.”
This statement felt a little strange.
In Lin Yu’s understanding, delicious food could indeed make people happier, but his caretaker was too certain. In his words, it seemed that Lin Yu would definitely be happy after eating the creature. This powerful effect didn’t seem like something simple food could achieve; it leaned more toward some kind of medicine.
Lin Yu examined the massive black beast, which was as tall as a small mountain, again, but still couldn’t see anything special about it.
He guessed it might be a unique creature of this world.
The more he thought this, the more cautious he became. Based on his understanding of his caretaker over this period, the other party was probably a ghost who hadn’t received much education.
In short, illiterate.
Inflexible, rigid, and possessing a clear stupidity, only his memory and execution were decent. This often gave Lin Yu the feeling that he was the master who decided everything.
So he didn’t doubt the other party’s intentions and started questioning directly about the identity of the black giant beast: “Will I be happy if I eat it?”
Yanyan nodded up and down. “Yes.”
Lin Yu: “Why?”
Yanyan: “Like cures like.” (Yi xing bu xing – Eating something shaped like what you want to improve)
Lin Yu: “…”
He looked over for the third time, sensing no emotion related to joy from the creature. He even suspected that if he ate this giant beast, it would turn into a vengeful spirit to settle the score with him.
That deep sense of resentment and hatred was almost solidifying.
He softly repeated his caretaker’s words, “Like cures like?”
Yanyan: “Inside its belly is a Beast that always likes to laugh ‘hahaha,’ so it also laughs ‘hahaha.'”
“If you eat it, you will be very happy.”
Lin Yu: “…………”
And he would start laughing “hahaha” too, right? Didn’t his caretaker think this was a bit strange?
A large room, with only him occasionally bursting into laughter.
Solidifying the legend that this place was a haunted house?
Lin Yu let out a long sigh.
He decided to politely refuse his caretaker, who had an excellent memory and even stronger execution. “But I am already very happy right now.”
“I’m happy just having you with me.”
How fortunate he was to encounter such a friendly creature in an alien world, not having to worry about his daily food source, and not waking up shivering in the night.
He was living the lazy life he had always dreamed of.
Yanyan opened his eyes wide and stared at the little person, seemingly wanting to see into his heart through his eyes. But those clear black eyes were full of sincerity; he truly meant what he said.
A wave of pleasure surged in Yanyan’s heart. He felt happy.
At this moment, he even felt that if the little person was unhappy, he would be willing to let him eat himself.
His happiness originated from the little person anyway.
Lin Yu didn’t know that such a terrifying thought had occurred in his caretaker’s mind. He could only see the flower trembling slightly. “Put him back.”
The black Star Beast didn’t dare to lift its head. It quietly awaited its final fate. Due to the influence of the Core, it could fully understand the meaning of the little person’s words, and the little person’s choice clearly exceeded its expectations—he intended to let it go.
Returning to the Dark Sea was good, but it preferred the air outside.
And the faint sweet scent in the air. The power that made its blood boil was located on that little person who wore no armor and had no sharp teeth.
Feeling the heavy pressure from above, the black Star Beast blinked its eyes.
The compound eyes on both sides of its face clearly told it how much that killing god cared for the little person.
So much so that he was willing to expend power to conceal his own form.
It had to stay, and then find an opportunity…
Thus, Lin Yu saw the massive creature at the doorway tremble and kneel down.
Lin Yu: “??”
He couldn’t handle such a grand gesture.
He shifted his bottom, but the creature’s size was too immense, and his entire bed was facing its direction. Lin Yu moved once and then gave up resisting, saying to Yanyan, “What is it doing?”
Yanyan: “…”
Yanyan didn’t understand either, but that didn’t stop him from sensing an urgent flattery emanating from the creature.
In an instant, his pupils became vertical slits. Massive Mental Power, like a giant net covered in thorns, firmly bound the black Star Beast, lifting its kneeling body inch by inch.
Lin Yu: “…”
He fell into contemplation, watching the giant beast twist and cry like a silkworm cocoon.
He knew almost without thinking that his caretaker was the one who acted.
But the sound of its crying was too sharp, and its wriggling posture was a bit unsightly. Lin Yu helplessly said, “Put it back.”
Suddenly, Lin Yu remembered the giant beast that had appeared in the room before. Although it wasn’t exactly similar to this one, it also possessed a massive body and matte carapace. However, that previous creature was gone.
A guess formed in his mind, and he added, “Is it your food?”
Yanyan nodded. “They all are.”
They?
Lin Yu started to feel a little curious. This was the first time he had heard his caretaker mention the existence of other creatures, yet he had never seen any in The Palace.
And his invisible caretaker had rarely mentioned his past. This was a good opportunity to learn about him.
He could further understand the structure of this world.
As someone who once possessed independent capabilities, Lin Yu preferred to live a lazy life relying on himself. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his caretaker, but precisely because the other party was such a good ghost, Lin Yu wanted to become friends who could rely on each other, rather than him being the one unilaterally taking.
He couldn’t truly regard himself as a Pet dependent on the other party.
“Where are they?”
“Can I see them?”
Yanyan glanced at the little person. His eyes were filled with intense curiosity.
Exactly like the day he unwrapped the gifts.
He couldn’t refuse such a little person.
Even though he wasn’t very willing to let the little person go to that place. He felt it would be easy for him to get hurt there.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment before Yanyan’s voice sounded. “You can.”
His Mental Power still confined the black Star Beast, but he slightly eased the pressure. “Lead the way.”
Wute: “…”
It turned its head in indignation and began walking toward the Dark Sea.
But its landing was completely silent, like a silent, black shadow.
Lin Yu looked at its massive body in surprise, feeling that his experience was still too limited.
What amazing power.
As a human who traditionally admired strength, he had fantasized about crossing into another world and gaining a cheat ability, but after repeatedly encountering battles over picking up trash, that meager wish had vanished without a trace.
What kind of male protagonist with a cheat ability starts by picking up trash?
That was far too uncool and un-domineering.
Yanyan’s gaze swept across the little person’s face. The unconcealed excitement and curiosity in his eyes made his mood less than pleasant, because the creature being watched wasn’t him.
Why?
He clearly still had the flower the little person gave him on his head.
Yanyan used his Mental Power to sense it, only to discover that the flower, stained with the little person’s scent, had fallen off somewhere.
His mood quickly darkened.
Accompanying this was even heavier pressure.
Wute’s legs instantly went soft, and it plopped down, kneeling again.
Lin Yu: “…”
The flower on the other party’s head was gone, and he was once again completely blind, unable to locate his caretaker.
Naturally, he didn’t know that the other party had resentfully and possessively occupied the center of his vision, rapidly scanning the entire Palace with his Mental Power.
Still couldn’t find it.
But Yanyan already had a guess about the location.
The Dark Sea was the only place his Mental Power couldn’t fully perceive.
It must have dropped in there when he caught this food.
Thinking this, his cold gaze swept over the Star Beast, which had once again flopped onto the ground.
Lin Yu reached out and touched the side. As expected, he didn’t miss.
Yanyan’s Mental Power steadily supported him.
Lin Yu: “Stop messing around.”
If they continued with this step-by-step kowtowing, they wouldn’t reach their destination until next year.
Yanyan calmly withdrew his gaze. His tail, however, gently wrapped around the little person, and his Mental Power created a buffer between them to prevent the sharp, hard scales from harming him.
Lin Yu’s perspective suddenly lifted, and the scenery in his eyes began to change rapidly, like riding a high-speed train. Light and shadow shifted like an hourglass of time. In an instant, he arrived at the place he had been before.
It was the location he had specifically memorized.
So, the loud noise last time also came from here.
He hadn’t realized there were other creatures here?
Lin Yu’s gaze first fell upon the mural covering an entire wall.
Black flames burned across the land, and living beings wailed, tormented and twisted. Slender fingers carved deep marks, rushing toward a massive, pale skeleton. And within the skeleton, a dazzling streak of blue spread out like seawater.
Such a familiar color.
From the usual eye-level perspective, the previously unseen details were displayed more clearly.
Lin Yu’s heart stirred. Just as he was about to look closer, he noticed a misty blackness faintly seeping out from behind the mural.
Dangerous and profound.
Lin Yu looked down and asked, “Caretaker, is your food inside?”
In the Dark Sea, the massive Star Beasts were huddled together. They didn’t know why this killing god had returned. He had only taken Wute away recently; was he hungry again now?
Following his gaze, they pushed and shoved each other.
But Yanyan’s cold gaze slowly fell upon a white flower that was already scattered and trampled beyond recognition.
The Star Beast being stared at shivered and retreated further, flattening a petal with its foot, causing sap to ooze out.
Yanyan: “…”
He used his Mental Power to lift it up, then gently gathered the petals. Seeing the creature wail and cry, he thought of the fellow he had brought outside.
The creature that had attracted Jiao Jiao’s attention.
They were indeed annoying in the same way.
His Mental Power transformed into a thin whip and lashed down fiercely.
The creature cried even louder.
The Star Beasts also became restless.
He scanned these food creatures, who knows where they came from, once more, and then retracted his head.
Before leaving, the voices of the Star Beasts reached his ears.
“Poof poof poof.”
“The killing god is hanging you up and whipping you. How miserable.”
“Stop crying. You’re the one with the thickest shell among us. It’s just a scratch. Don’t cry, you’re so noisy.”
“He’s actually crying. So embarrassing for a Beast.”
“Why is he crying?”
“He says he’s dirty.”
“The King also likes to hang people up and whip them, but those Beasts weren’t wearing clothes.”
“At least you have a carapace.”
“Wuwuwu.”
Lin Yu frowned slightly. Why did he hear crying?
There were also some chirping sounds, very noisy, making it impossible to distinguish individual sentences. As he concentrated to listen again, a withered white flower suddenly emerged from the mural.
Lin Yu: “??”
He recognized it instantly as the flower he had given away.
He spoke softly, “Caretaker?”
Yanyan held the flower in his mouth and leaned toward the little person, his tone slightly dejected. “The flower is broken.”
His gaze gently fell upon the black Star Beast that didn’t dare to look up. “They did it.”
Those annoying creatures, please don’t like them, okay?
His leaden eyes stared intently at the little person.
Only like me. Okay?
