I Was Contracted By The Empress As An S Rank Familiar - Chapter 7

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Shirley’s bottom itched once again, she could not help but stand up.

She walked to the side of the carriage and looked at Pan Liang. Seeing that he was now lying in the carriage with his body stretched out, she instantly flew into a fury.

“Quickly get up and stop sleeping. If you sleep any longer, you’ll be useless.”

Pan Liang turned over and ignored her.

Shirley felt like picking up his sword and stabbing him to death on the carriage.

Nevertheless, she held back, considering that he was an SSS-rank familiar. Perhaps he had some special abilities.

Experts like Pan Liang that appeared in fantasy novels could also exist in the world..

People like him usually would not make a move, but once they did, his move would be earth-shattering.

Shirley hoped that he was this kind of person. However, when she saw his weak look this morning, her hope was reduced by two points.

“Forget it. I can’t be bothered to criticize you anymore. You’re no different from a cripple. I can’t expect you to do anything.”

She said this to provoke Pan Liang, but it was of no use.

Lying in the carriage, Pan Liang was overjoyed because Shirley’s Grievance Points had flooded the screen. There was also another person’s Grievance Points.

It belonged to a woman called Mavis. Needless to say, Mavis was the one sitting next to the bonfire.

However, he had some doubts. Why did Mavis also give him Grievance Points? Apparently, he had not offended her.

Since Shirley could not wake Pan Liang up, she decided to ignore him and prepared the barbecue.

At this moment, Pan Liang’s faint voice sounded behind her.

“Your barbecue is burnt.”

His words shocked Shirley. She immediately ran to the side of the fire to handle the barbecue.

It did not matter if the barbecue looked a little burnt. As long as she used a knife to scrape the burnt area off, it would be fine.

However, Shirley was used to living a poor life in the past. She could not bring herself to waste food, so she was anxious when preparing the barbecue.

As Shirley and Mavis were chatting about their daily activities at the side, they kept an eye on the roasted meat so that it would not burn again.

The moment the roasted meat was ready, Pan Liang appeared beside the fire.

At the sight of Pan Liang’s figure, Shirley subconsciously had the urge to grab the roasted meat. Nevertheless, she was a little slow. Pan Liang ended up taking the meat before she could grab it.

After taking a bite of the meat, Pan Liang put it down.

“Actually, the meat you roasted isn’t that good.”

His comment made Shirley angry right away. “I roasted the meat for you, yet you’re complaining about it. If you want to eat it next time, you can roast it yourself. I won’t serve you anymore.”

Everyone’s temper had its limits. Shirley was unable to bear that comment.

However, Pan Liang did not care whether Shirley was angry or not. In fact, he deliberately made her angry so that he could gain Grievance Points.

[Ding! Shirley’s Grievance Points were detected. Grievance Points +100.]

Upon receiving the system notification, Pan Liang was overjoyed. “The effect is really good. It seems that I have to tease this little witch more in the future.”

Then, Pan Liang exchanged a bottle of cumin powder from the system.

“There’s a reason why I said your roasted meat isn’t that good. Look, I’ll add some flavor to the meat on the spot.”

The roasted meat he ate yesterday was very delicious. Compared to that, he felt the roasted meat he ate today was not tasty. 

Pan Liang reckoned that it was because he was too hungry yesterday. Now that he was not that hungry, he felt that the unseasoned meat was difficult to swallow.

He showed Shirley a small bottle in his hand. “This is the seasoning that I made for roasted meat, and it’s just the most basic one. Today, I’ll let you two taste it.”

He put the roasted meat back on the fire and rotated it continuously. Then, he shook the small bottle on top of the meat constantly.

The powder, which Shirley and Mavis had never seen before, dropped on the meat. Suddenly, an indescribably attractive aroma exuded from the meat.

They had never seen this kind of seasoning or smelled such an enticing aroma before. The smell almost made their mouths water.

The productivity in this world was still rather low. Most of the seasoning could only be afforded by nobles.

Being in the lowest rank in society, Mavis and Shirley had never seen this kind of seasoning before.

In fact, Pan Liang had not exchanged the special kind of seasoning. If he had taken out the seasoned meat, Mavis and Shirley’s saliva would have dripped to the ground.

Shirley could not help but ask him, “What does the seasoning contain? How come we’d never smelled it before?”

When Pan Liang heard this, he felt that this kind of seasoning might not have existed in this world.

“Didn’t I tell you that I made it myself? Just eat the meat. Why are you asking so many questions?”

Shirley sat on the ground angrily, waiting for Pan Liang to finish preparing the barbecue. Pan Liang stretched out his hand to her.

“Bring your knife over. I want to make a few cuts on this meat.”

Shirley handed the knife to him. After that, she cupped her face with both hands and looked at him.

After a while, he cut a small piece from the barbecue and gave it to her.

“Come and try the meat. It definitely tastes better than yours.”

Although the seasoning was labeled as cumin powder in the system, it was not pure cumin powder. It was mixed with some other spices as well.

Watching Shirley put the barbecue into her mouth, Mavis could not help but gulp as if the barbecue was stuffed into her mouth.

“Oh, delicious. It’s delicious. I want more. Roast more meat for me.”

When Shirley asked Pan Liang to do it, he was reluctant. He directly held the meat and started to eat it. Nevertheless, he tossed her the small bottle of cumin powder.

“You can eat more, but you need to roast the meat yourself.”

Shirley pouted. “Hmph, you terrible guy.”

Pan Liang received Grievance Points from Shirley again. At the same time, he also received it from Mavis.

This time, Mavis’ Grievance Points far exceeded Shirley’s. It seemed that Mavis was angry that he did not roast the meat for her.

This was exactly what Pan Liang wanted.

Although Shirley was angry at Pan Liang at this moment, she felt a little sweet.

Living in the human world as a witch, she had already been subjected to strange looks from others.

She had no friends since she was young, and no one treated her like Pan Liang did.

Although Pan Liang was lazy and did not seem to treat her well, she was still a little touched when he tossed her the seasoning bottle.
