Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shirley drove the carriage to a pond and stopped there.

“It’s getting late. Let’s rest here for the night. Considering that we’ve made so many turns along the way, no one will probably catch up with us.”

After stopping, Shirley rummaged through the carriage and finally found a small bag.

“Oh no. There’s nothing left to eat. Let’s go hunting. It should be easy to look for prey in this area.”

Pan Liang, who was woken up by Shirley, opened his eyes and looked at the small bag in Shirley’s hand.

He thought to himself.. ‘I didn’t expect this princess’ life to be so miserable. She’s actually left with no food. It seems that I should treat her a little better in the future.’

Pan Liang became lively after being roused by Shirley. He had slept for half a day and had not eaten since last night. His chest was pressed against her back right now.

There was no way for him to fall asleep again.

Poor Shirley did not even have a magic weapon, so she could only rely on her own magic power to apply some skills. The power was simply not enough.

However, it was more than enough to deal with some small animals.

Half an hour later, Shirley came back with two small animals. Then, she squatted by the pond and washed them.

Pan Liang watched the beautiful little witch cooking from one side. When had he ever enjoyed such treatment? 

Unable to fall asleep, he stuck his head out of the carriage and looked at her.

[Ding!]

[According to the host’s current status, the Achievement Mission has been released. Upon completing the mission, you will be rewarded with the Eat-And-Do-Nothing Achievement.]

[This achievement can increase the speed at which you obtain Experience Points while lying down.]

After hearing the system’s voice, Pan Liang was energized. It was great to be able to increase the speed at which he obtained Experience Points.

“Let’s see the requirements for this mission first.”

“Mm. The Eat-And-Do-Nothing Mission is divided into two parts. Since there’s no time limit, it’s easy to do it. Once I grab the chance, I’ll complete this mission.”

Not long after, Shirley had already lit a fire and was ready to roast the meat. However, Pan Liang wondered why she was not brushing any oil on the meat. She was not even putting any seasoning on it.

In fact, the meat would taste quite good even without any seasoning.

Pan Liang, who was already hungry, nearly drooled as he perceived the aroma of the roasted meat.

“I didn’t expect the meat to smell so good without any seasoning. That’s wonderful.”

Shirley took out a small knife from her bag and cut a small piece of the roasted meat to check if it was cooked.

“It’s already cooked. You can eat it now. You must be starving since you haven’t had a proper meal.”

However, just as she finished speaking, she felt a gust of wind blow past her. The next moment, she noticed that the meat in front of her had already disappeared.

She turned around and saw Pan Liang chewing on a piece of roasted meat.

“You’re such a bad guy. You’re so active only when it’s time to eat. That’s terrible.”

[Ding! Shirley’s Grievance Points were detected. Grievance Points +20.]

After he snatched Shirley’s roasted meat, there was an increase his the latest Grievance Points. A smile spread across Pan Liang’s face.

“Heh. If I gain slightly more Grievance Points, I’ll be able to participate in the lucky draw. That’ll be great.”

Pan Liang destroyed a piece of roasted meat effortlessly.

There were originally two pieces of meat, with one reserved by Shirley. At this point, Shirley had no choice but to roast it as well.

The meat was roasted quickly. Shortly after, it emitted an alluring aroma.

Pan Liang climbed out of the carriage and stood beside Shirley. He stared at the roasted meat with wide eyes.

Shirley noticed that Pan Liang did not continue sleeping, so she planned to seize this opportunity to have a good chat with him.

“Pan Liang, I’m your contract owner. Can’t you treat me better?

“As a familiar, how can you behave like this?”

Pan Liang acted as if he did not hear her. There was nothing he cared about except for the barbecue.

In fact, he was just trying to test if he could gain Grievance Points by provoking her.

As expected, he gained Grievance Points by ignoring Shirley, but there were fewer points this time.

Perhaps Shirley was completely disappointed with him. He then had a plan in mind.

He planned to give Shirley some hope and deliberately provoke her after that. In that case, he would certainly be able to gain more Grievance Points.

At this thought, he took the initiative to talk to Shirley.

“Shirley, I know you’re my contract owner, but I’m seriously injured now. I have no choice but to take a rest. I’ll definitely help you after I recover.”

Shirley did not expect Pan Liang to talk to her of his own accord. She said in surprise, “So you’re injured? I shouldn’t have blamed you.”

Pan Liang nodded, pretending to be very pitiful. However, his eyes were still fixed on the meat because the system had yet to inform him that he had completed the Eat-And-Do-Nothing Mission.

The roasted meat sizzled when its oil dripped onto the bonfire. The barbecue was soon ready. The moment Shirley was about to grab the meat, Pan Liang snatched it.

Shirley instantly flew into a rage. “Did you pretend to be injured to get my sympathy so that you could snatch this piece of meat?”

She wanted to chase after Pan Liang, but he fled so quickly that she could not even reach for him, let alone snatch the meat.

Shirley got tired soon. At that time, Pan Liang had finished the roasted meat in his hand. After that, he went into the carriage and closed his eyes.

“Why hasn’t the system notified me yet? I’m already full.”

Seeing how fast Pan Liang fled, Shirley was a little swayed.

The speed of other ordinary familiars could not compare with his. He must be very powerful, but he was too lazy to move. She had to think of a solution.

Shirley climbed onto the carriage and stretched out her hand to shake Pan Liang.

“Get up. Let me see how fast you can move, okay?”

Pan Liang knew that someone was shaking him, but he refused to open his eyes.

“You little witch, you even want me to perform for you. No way. I’d better complete this mission as soon as possible so that I can get a title that allows me to increase the speed of gaining Experience Points.”

In the end, Shirley failed to wake Pan Liang up. At this moment, her stomach started to growl again. She had no choice but to look for prey again.

She did not return until the sky was completely dark. It seemed that it was not easy to catch prey at this time. Fortunately, she did not return empty-handed.

Pan Liang lay there for a long time before he was about to fall asleep in a daze. At this moment, the system notification came.

[Ding! The host has completed the Eat-And-Do-Nothing Mission.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the title of Eat-And-Do-Nothing. The speed of gaining Experience Points has increased by 20%.]

“I’ve finally completed the Eat-And-Do-Nothing Mission. I’ve waited for this for so long that I nearly fell asleep.

“Oh, right. I only received it when I was about to fall asleep. Apparently, the way to complete this mission was to sleep after meal.”

Pan Liang lay in the carriage, looking at the contents of the system. Meanwhile, Shirley felt conflicted as she stood beside the carriage.
