Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 150: I don’t like sweets
The next day, Vylyss gradually awoke. She shook her head, feeling as though something very strange had happened, yet she couldn't clearly recall what it was.
"You're awake?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Vylyss turned her head and, seeing Noan, happily called out, "Master!"
"How do you feel?" Noan asked worriedly.
Vylyss didn't seem to care about her body's condition. Instead, upon seeing Noan, she immediately jumped into his embrace, hugging him tightly and greedily inhaling his familiar scent.
Observing Vylyss's behaviour, Noan could only sigh helplessly and gently stroke her hair affectionately. "Aren't you even slightly concerned about your body's condition?"
"I don't care! As long as Master is by my side, that's enough. Everything else doesn't interest me," Vylyss replied sweetly.
Noan shook his head gently and said softly, "You should rest. Malrik mentioned your soul and energy were severely burned. Even though he healed you, you still need proper rest, understand?"
"Um…" Vylyss nodded slightly, then happily said, "Master, resting alone is quite boring. Can't you stay here and rest with me?"
Pock!
Noan lightly flicked Vylyss's forehead, pretending to be annoyed. "No. If I stay, it won't be 'resting' anymore."
Vylyss pouted, her face clearly expressing dissatisfaction. Noan finally had to comfort her a bit more, promising to make it up to her next time to calm her down.
When Noan left the room, Vylyss watched his figure gradually disappear, feeling a hint of loneliness deep in her heart.
"You see? He doesn't need you."
"Who?!" A sudden voice startled Vylyss. She quickly shouted in alarm.
"Don't bother looking—I'm inside you."
"You… Who exactly are you?" Vylyss frowned, immediately demanding, "Show yourself!"
"Huh! Judging by your expression, it's clear you're merely being restrained by that bastard's slave contract," the strange voice said coldly. "If you wish, I can help set you free."
"As long as we regain our freedom, you can have any man you desire. Why degrade yourself by wagging your tail for him like a dog?"
Vylyss frowned deeply, her voice filled with killing intent as she coldly said, "Ah, it seems you're very jealous of me."
"Jealous?! Hahahaha… You truly are foolish. I'm offering you freedom."
"Freedom? Right now, I'm already free enough—I don't need you interfering." Vylyss replied irritably, "Don't think you can use those worthless words to damage the relationship between my Master and me."
"Relationship? What kind of relationship do you truly have? He summoned you. To him, you're merely a tool," the voice said, clearly losing its patience.
"Think about it carefully. If you were just an ordinary, unattractive rank D Succubus, would he keep you at his side?"
"Ah! I understand now. You want his talent, don't you? Don't worry; once the contract is broken, I can help you cast a powerful charm spell on him. At that time, he'll become our obedient little dog."
However, Vylyss no longer responded to that voice. Instead, she stood up immediately, walking toward the NPC residential area.
She quickly found a female NPC and cheerfully said, "Rosie, I've come to learn cooking again today!"
Seeing Vylyss, the female NPC wasn't surprised and happily replied, "Of course, Lady Vylyss."
When Vylyss heard Rosie addressing her as "Lady," her face instantly flushed bright red. She excitedly replied, "Please don't call me like that. If Master hears it, he'll be uncomfortable."
Rosie was now far more beautiful than before. Although her beauty didn't match Vylyss's level, she could still score at least eighty points.
With such beauty, if Rosie were back in the City, she'd easily be recognized as one of the most beautiful girls at the Academy.
After Noan used NPC upgrade cards, the female NPCs became significantly more attractive, their strength doubled, and they could even perform numerous additional tasks.
But above all else, these NPCs were no longer limited to blindly following orders and simple thinking. Instead, they'd developed genuine thoughts and emotions, almost indistinguishable from real human beings.
Of course, they would never betray Noan.
Rosie and Vylyss had also grown quite close, and ever since Vylyss saw Noan enjoying food, she had asked Rosie to teach her how to cook.
In Vylyss's heart, there was only one thought: if Noan enjoyed the dishes she prepared, she would feel incredibly happy.
Rosie laughed at this moment, saying, "Vylyss, I think our Master certainly wouldn't mind; rather, seeing how much Master adores you, I believe he would surely love being addressed in such a way."
Vylyss smiled so joyfully that her face flushed bright red, resembling a ripe apple.
Witnessing this scene, the mysterious voice within Vylyss's soul could only sigh helplessly in frustration.
"If you won't heed my words, then I have no choice but to…"
Just as that mysterious existence was about to act, a familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Shadow, have you forgotten our promise?"
Hearing this, Shadow became angry, but she still pretended to remain calm and responded in a voice full of seduction: "Malrik, what are you talking about? I only wanted to see what Vylyss would do to capture that man's heart, nothing more."
"Moreover, I merely wished to let her see the reality—that men are nothing but useless and foolish beings, driven only by their desires."
"Silence, Shadow, or I'll make you experience the torment of Hellfire," Malrik coldly threatened, his voice filled with murderous intent and sinister evil, completely different from the gentle demeanour he usually displayed before Noan.
"Ah! How terrible," Shadow feigned distress and whimpered pitifully, "You want to burn me with that terrifying flame?"
"If you dare to harm Vylyss and Master, I swear I'll make you feel pain and despair," Malrik coldly proclaimed.
Finally, Shadow chose to remain silent.

Vylyss, naturally, couldn't hear the conversation between Shadow and Malrik; at this moment, she was happily following Rosie's instructions, beginning to prepare the cooking ingredients.
Meanwhile, outside the territory,
Noan reclined on a wooden chair, beside him a fishing rod fixed firmly in place, leisurely savouring the warmth of the sunlight and the gentle coolness of the breeze blowing across the lake.
He felt that even if he could not return to the city, staying here would still be nice.
Suddenly, he recalled a certain girl and thought about the privilege exclusively meant for him.
"Perhaps I should ask her if she wants to come with me. If she agrees, I'll bring her along by my side," Noan murmured, inwardly reaching a decision.
"Master…" Malrik appeared beside him at that moment, grinning as he spoke, "Kekekeke… Master, you're really chill, huh."
"What is it?" Noan sighed and asked.
Ever since Vylyss fell unconscious, he had decided to assign Malrik to monitor Alex. After all, Alex was a 'Fate Holder', someone who needed constant surveillance.
Otherwise, if Alex were to acquire some terrifying opportunity, Noan wouldn't be able to stop him in time.
"Alex seems to have found a mysterious area. He's currently exploring it," Malrik reported.
"He didn't notice you?" Noan asked, puzzled.
"Kekeke… Master, of course, I didn't follow him personally. I sent a soul I've trained to track him instead. That way, there's no chance he could detect anything," Malrik said, full of confidence and pride.
Hearing this, Noan felt somewhat reassured. After all, it was a soul—how could Alex possibly perceive it?
"Continue watching him. If anything strange happens, report to me immediately."
"Yes, Master," Malrik bowed and departed at once.
Seeing that Malrik didn't say anything more, Noan let out a small sigh of relief. However, a sense of oddness lingered in his mind.
Malrik always talked a lot whenever he appeared—why did he leave so quickly this time without saying much?
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, interrupting his thoughts.
"Master…"
Just by hearing the voice, Noan instantly knew who had come. It seemed Malrik had anticipated Vylyss's arrival and had deliberately left to give them some privacy.
Vylyss appeared, her face filled with concern. In her hands, she held a small plate, which she gently placed on the table beside Noan.
"Master, would you like to eat some cake? This… this was made by Rosie," Vylyss said hesitantly.
Noan glanced at Vylyss and softly replied, "I don't like sweets."
"Heh?!"
