I haven't even settled the score with you over the black hairless thing yet, and you've already turned around and started flirting with someone else.
"..."
Marx and Engels immediately backed down and dared not utter another complaint.
But inwardly, she thought to herself, 'How come I never noticed before that she's such a jealous person?'
The Lion King's ahoge (cowlick) swayed, and he looked at Marne with a hint of something amiss: "You seem to be thinking about something bad."
"No, no, I was just thinking that it's getting late, we should go and rest."
Ma En quickly denied it, then smiled apologetically and reached out to hug her.
"Huh!?"
Joan of Arc immediately covered her eyes with her hands, but still peeked curiously at Marne and the Lion King through her large fingers.
Clearly, she never expected that the two of them would have this kind of relationship.
She even wondered, can Master and Servant really be like this?
Or is this the case for other master-servant relationships as well?
Thinking back to how Mashu and Gudako had gone into a room to rest earlier, Jeanne felt like she might have guessed correctly.
She then remembered what Ma En had said before, inviting her to a temporary contract, and her face turned red as she imagined all sorts of things.
Black Hair, who was still eating nearby, suddenly lost interest in his food upon seeing this scene, and frowned as he watched the two of them being so affectionate.
"There are people watching, so be careful."
The Lion King, feeling embarrassed by the gazes of two outsiders, nudged Ma En a little early on, but without using force, clearly not intending to refuse.
She even raised an eyebrow at the hairless man and gave him a provocative look.
Ever since they met, this black-haired man has been looking at her with hostility, and he even started a fight for no reason during the meal. Now she's starting to dislike him too.
Therefore, she didn't mind giving the other party a hard time.
Black Hair naturally saw the Lion King's gaze, and immediately the veins on her forehead bulged, forming a 'well' mark. She gritted her teeth and glared back.
···
However, this is of no use.
In the Lion King's eyes, the appearance of the hairless black man was nothing more than a display of impotent rage, which actually made him feel much happier.
Marne also witnessed the little interaction between the two King Arthurs, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.
But he didn't say anything, thinking he should separate the two as soon as possible to avoid a fight later.
"Let's go back and rest."
With that, Ma En put his arm around the Lion Dynasty's room and walked towards it.
The Lion King did not refuse, but instead cast a victorious glance at Black Hair.
"How can it be repaired?"
Black Hair couldn't stand it anymore. She crushed the hamburger in her hand without even noticing, which showed how angry she was.
... .
Seeing that Black Hair was about to erupt, Ma En quickly quickened his pace, even using teleportation to instantly bring the Lion King back to the room and disappear from Black Hair and Jeanne's sight.
Seeing that the two had disappeared, Black Hair did not chase after them.
Because she understood that Maren's intention was to prevent them from fighting, she decided to hold back for the time being.
Feeling frustrated and with nowhere to vent her anger, she glared at Joan of Arc, who was watching the scene unfold, and then silently went into another room.
"Uh... how did it suddenly turn out like this?"
Joan of Arc, who had been unjustly afflicted, looked speechlessly at the now empty hall, unsure of what to say.
However, she had no interest in the rivalry between the two King Arthurs.
Her face flushed, she glanced at Marx and Engels' room, her mind racing with thoughts of their invitation, before hurriedly entering an empty room herself. It was as if she was about to meet them.
The saintess, lacking common sense, is unaware that she has misunderstood and is currently distressed.
Meanwhile, Ma En, after returning to his room with the Lion King, instantly changed his expression.
With no outsiders around, Marx and Engels dropped their pretense and instantly revealed their true colors.
He made a 'fierce' expression.
"You seemed to be itching for a beating just now? Come on, let me loosen your muscles."
As he spoke, Ma En slowly approached the Lion King.
The Lion King rolled his eyes with a charming expression, without refuting or resisting.
How could Marx and Engels tolerate this?
We have to teach her a lesson!
Otherwise, she wouldn't even know who's in charge of this family!
Nine.
Chapter 255 Gudako: You might be getting another mom.
The next morning, everyone got up except for Lanling Wang, who had been standing guard all night and was feeling a bit down because no one came to relieve him.
While eating breakfast, Mashu, Gudako, Hinako Akuta, and Lanling Wang, who had left early the night before, noticed that something was amiss.
Black Hairless would glare fiercely at the Lion King from time to time, while Joan of Arc would occasionally glance at Marne.
This made the four of them feel like they had missed something.
However, this had no impact on the Lion King and Marne.
The Lion King didn't bother with Black Hair at all, and although Marne was a little puzzled by Joan of Arc's strange behavior, he didn't say anything.
The four people were curious, but they didn't ask any further questions.
After breakfast, everyone packed up and set off for Orleans.
After discussion, the group decided not to head directly to Orleans, but instead chose the "463" detour route.
However, with Joan of Arc leading the way, there was no difference.
However, this time they didn't travel on foot.
Since it's not the same kind of tailing as before, there's no need to suppress speed; instead, time is of the essence.
So Mar and Eng built two off-road vehicles, one for each of the four people.
Mashu was in charge of driving one of the vehicles, carrying Gudako and Hinako Akuta as they faced off against Lanling Wang.
The other car features the lineup from last night: Marne, Black Hairless, Lion King, and Joan of Arc.
This was Black Hair's request; he insisted on being paired with Marne, and the Lion King, seeing this, also joined in.
As for Joan of Arc, she didn't actually want to come, but she needed to lead the way for Marx and Engels.
Well, for safety reasons, Ma En didn't let Black Hair or Lion King drive; instead, he took the wheel himself.
So, Marx and Engels sat in the driver's seat, with Joan of Arc leading the way beside them, while Black Hairless and the Lion King faced off in the back.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Joan of Arc was somewhat frightened; she keenly sensed the gunpowder smell emanating from the back of the carriage.
Aside from giving directions, they dared not utter a sound, not even daring to breathe.
The car on this side was completely silent, but the car following behind was very lively.
"Tell me, what exactly happened between them last night?"
Gudako brought up a topic that all four of them were curious about.
Mashu shook her head slightly: "I don't know either. I went to sleep very quickly yesterday."
Then he continued to concentrate on driving.
Although she possesses a C-level riding skill and can skillfully drive vehicles, this is her first time actually driving on a road, especially on an unpaved surface. This is undoubtedly a challenge that leaves her no room for distraction.
Akuta, sitting in the back row, also became interested and turned to Lanling Wang, asking, "Chang Gong, did you hear anything upstairs?"
Lanling Wang shook his head with a wry smile: "No, that house seems to have soundproofing magic. You didn't wake up when I made noise while dealing with a few wandering skeleton soldiers last night."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
He was working so hard on guard duty, while you were all resting comfortably, without even sending someone to relieve him. In the morning, no one even bothered to check on him.
Although he wasn't angry, he couldn't help but feel speechless.
So I'm just a tool?
His subtle resentment went unnoticed.
Seeing this, Gudako offered a guess: "Hey, what do you guys think? Could it be that something happened between them and Ma Ensan? I saw Jeanne's face turn completely red when she looked at Ma Ensan."
"What happened?" Xiu couldn't help but ask in return.
Gudako said with a mischievous grin, "What else could it be? Of course, it's that kind of thing between men and women, hehe, maybe you'll have another mother, Mashu."
"What!?"
Mashu was startled and turned her head sharply.
Her large movement caused the car to sway and rock from side to side.
"Car!! I want to drive! I need to fix it!"
Gudako panicked instantly, grabbed the handrail, and shouted.
"Oh no! This is terrible!"
Mashu was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and quickly took control of the steering wheel, bringing the car back to a stable state.
"Phew!" Dazi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Bang!
Hinako Akuta in the back row kicked Gudako's chair back and yelled angrily, "If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"
