To be honest, Li Ke finally understood one thing.
Don't overestimate yourself!
Watching her tidy herself up like a submissive wife, Li Ke couldn't resist popping a lollipop into his mouth.
He had indeed quit smoking, but the habit of wanting a cigarette whenever trouble arose was hard to break. He was trying to overcome it, but honestly—
This situation left him speechless.
"Being irresponsible is certainly possible. Just explain to Erina, and give Mito Ikumi some compensation; then they will go separate ways, and it'll be fine. But this is like being treating her as a prostitutes..."
Li Ke was struggling with this. He had originally planned to give Erina a relatively perfect marriage. No matter how many women he played around in other worlds, in this world, monogamy would suffice.
After all, Erina was rather special.
But this way…
Now, taking responsibility makes him a scumbag.
Being irresponsible is also being a scumbag.
No matter what he does, he'll be letting the other person down.
Although the psychological burden of feeling guilty towards Ikumi would be less.
So Li Ke decided to confront her.
"Um, Nikumi."
Hearing this address, Mito Ikumis face flushed instantly. She hated being called that by others; after all, she didn't dress like that because she liked it.
But Li Ke…
If he called her that a few more times, she'd get aroused!
"Um, please speak, Li Ke… Sir Li Ke."
Li Ke hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"My wife is Erina, and we've already had relations."
Mito Ikumi's eyes instantly went vacant, and her hand instinctively reached for the kitchen knife.
"Your wife is... Miss Erina?"
"Ah, yes, but..."
Li Ke nodded, watching Mito Ikumi's shocked and bewildered expression, and her hand slowly reaching for the kitchen knife. He silently placed a steel rod into his action bar, just in case.
"But."
"But?"
Mito Ikumi's expression softened slightly.
"But you can have my child. To be precise, I don't intend to let you go, Nikumi. After tasting you, I can't possibly give up this delicious piece of meat. So rest assured, even if we don't marry, I will help you revitalize the Mito family and give you a child of your own."
Li Ke quickly finished speaking, but he noticed that Mito Ikumi's eyes were becoming increasingly lifeless.
"Hmm, that's definitely a scumbag's statement."
He mentally berated himself, then quickly added.
"Because I don't want to be irresponsible. I made this decision precisely because I understand the current situation, our relationship, and what happened before. Of course, I can hold a wedding with you, but that must be discussed with Erina… I don't like hiding things like this."
"You can refuse, but how should I put it, our relationship will remain unchanged, we will still…"
"What do you take me for!"
Ikumi didn't even finish listening, rushing over in shame and anger, grabbing Li Ke's collar and shaking him.
"So what if I misunderstood?! I don't care about those things! Do you really think our Mito Group can't survive without the Nakiri family?"
She knew exactly what Li Ke meant, which was why she was so ashamed and angry. She was perfectly clear that this was intentional on her part.
Therefore, she was perfectly clear that Li Ke bore no responsibility whatsoever. This 'accident' was something she deliberately orchestrated. She had always intended for Li Ke to attack her, and she would not stop him, but rather cooperate!
She hadn't expected Li Ke's cooking to be so amazing, completely winning her over!
So, Ikumi's mind was in turmoil, utterly filled with shame and indignation.
"Anyway, we're even! Right? I'm just superfluous anyway!"
So she pushed Li Ke away and prepared to leave.
She was prepared to become a clown, but she didn't intend to follow Erina anymore.
After what happened…
However, the next moment, she was pulled into Li Ke's arms, and her breasts, which had finally calmed down, were pinched by Li Ke again.
"Wait… Did I say you were superfluous? Actually, your body and your personality are very much to my liking, it's just…"
Li Ke pinched those full breasts, looking at the astonished Ikumi as he spoke.
"I haven't finished speaking. What I'm about to say is that we'll maintain this relationship until I get Erina to handle this matter. Or, I'll force your family and you to become mine... You know, meat has no right to object, especially a plump A5-grade like you. Your job is to obediently become more delicious so I can eat you up."
Rolling his eyes, Li Ke was speechless. He genuinely liked her body and enjoyed her panting. Even if he couldn't marry her, he wouldn't want another man pinning her down.
What kind of cuckold was this?
If it were just some casual, public display of skill, he wouldn't care. After all, he wasn't going to mess with married women.
"Don't talk big!"
The woman was even more ashamed and indignant. To a modern woman, Li Ke's words were utterly illogical and unacceptable.
"If you don't agree to be my woman, I'll team up with Erina to raid Mito's meat processing plant. You should know I have the power to do that. Besides, you, my little darling, have offered yourself up to the big bad wolf. So be good, be my meal, and bear my children."
Li Ke gently kissed Ikumi's lips. Her expression remained one of shame and indignation, but her struggles lessened considerably. Li Ke took the opportunity to spread her thighs and caress her once-wet garden.
It sounds a bit perverse, but Li Ke discovered that describing Ikumi as "meat" made him excited...
"You bastard! I won't agree to that! I'm not your A5 meat to do as you please!"
"I only said you're my only meat."
"Bastard!!"
Ikumi struggled violently, but the sensation between her legs made her weak. Seeing this, Li Ke didn't hesitate to lift Ikumi up again, stuffing another bite of grilled meat into her mouth, then carrying her like a sack of potatoes towards the bathroom.
However, even in this position, Ikumi became wet again.
"Alright, now you, this A5 meat, need to be washed clean, and then I'll eat you again."
Li Ke casually stripped Ikumi naked again, cleaned her garden despite her struggles, and then engaged in primal sexual activity with her once more in the bathroom.
Li Ke also noticed that the wheat-colored skin, when covered in water droplets, was undeniably alluring.
Then, after the Mito Ikumi was somewhat confusedly settled, he told Erina about it.
"So, you slept with her?"
Erina speechlessly grabbed her hair. Although he had already has the taste of other women while kissing her, it didn't bother her because it was from another world.
As for what Li Ke said...
It wasn't that she couldn't accept it; after all, that's pretty much how she and Li Ke came together.
But for something like this to happen in her own world was incredibly devastating.
She was able to remain calm now entirely because she had transformed; otherwise, she would have definitely snorted coldly, resolved to never speak to Li Ke again, and then...
Then I'd probably regret it twenty years later.
After mentally criticizing herself, Erina looked at Li Ke, awaiting his decision.
"Yeah, but honestly, the food in your world is really..."
Li Ke was speechless. He wasn't drunk at the time; it was more like his other memories and thinking abilities had been blocked, leaving him only with the memory of mating and eating.
"In my world, the food you make can no longer be called food; it should be called contraband. Honestly, Erina, I don't intend to shirk responsibility. After all, even if it was because of the food, I was the one who started it."
Li Ke was slightly uneasy. Despite his confident demeanor when speaking to the 'charming meat', he honestly wasn't so sure about Erina.
"Hmm... Is this the trouble that comes with different worlds? What's with that expression? Should I yell and scream, become hysterical, and refuse to let you take responsibility, putting you in a dilemma? Problems are solved by. Wake up! If you hadn't told me, of course I would have acted that way, but since you told me, I naturally have to make a mature choice."
After saying that, Erina sighed and glared at Li Ke again.
"And next time you come back, remember to brush your teeth and take a shower. I have the God's Tongue."
Li Ke: "??"
What did you taste?!
