Chapter 584
Similarly, when everyone crashes, the crash itself ceases to exist.
Chapter 584 Similarly, when everyone crashes, the crash itself ceases to exist.
The evening bells rang precisely on time, and after changing and washing up, everyone arrived at the restaurant one after another. The harmonious and joyful atmosphere of the manor remained as always.
The long dining table was covered with a white velvet cloth, the flames on the silver candlesticks flickered quietly, and the room was filled with the warm scent of incense and black tea.
Vivian was sulking, like a cat that had lost a fight. Eileen, sitting not far away, would steal glances at her every now and then, her eyes like those of a puppy that had done something wrong.
Richard and Alfred were exchanging tactics, and it seemed they had learned more than just how to have a snowball fight from the game.
Perhaps the most martial and virtuous monarch in the history of the Principality of Campbell will be born on this ordinary dining table.
After all, no young Campbell had ever developed such agility at such a young age.
Ordinary adventurers are no match for these two little guys.
As for Princess Lino, she clung to "Brother Gutaf" as always, tenderly blowing on the red and swollen spot on his forehead.
Soon, Nanfu not only blushed, but her heart almost melted.
Human beings—
It's amazing!
He must have said this to himself many times.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was pleasant and harmonious, just like a regular family gathering, no different from any other.
However, with the arrival of the two belated "main characters," the atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became somewhat subtle and unusual...
Miss "Ya Ya Mitia" was the first to arrive.
She hadn't left the house all day, but she actually changed her clothes.
She didn't just change her clothes; she also took a shower.
The damp, pink ends of her hair fell onto her fair, rosy shoulders, like crabapple blossoms glistening with dew. A fragrant breeze, accompanied by hesitant yet hurried footsteps, wafted toward the long table, as if adding a spoonful of honey to the warm aroma of black tea that permeated the velvet tablecloth.
Luo Yan arrived shortly after, about three minutes later.
Unlike Mia, who went straight to her seat, his demeanor and speech were much more natural. He greeted every guest present with a smile, including Yaya, who had just arrived, and even ruffled the little guy's fluffy hair as he passed Alfred... before taking his seat.
The two were separated by more than half a table, neither looking at the other. However, it was precisely this deliberate avoidance that made the matter even more obvious.
Did the two of them have a fight?
Eileen glanced worriedly in Miss Yaya's direction, then at Prince Colin. She felt both confused and uneasy.
To be honest, she felt a little guilty towards Miss Ya Ya.
That kiss at the Glenston Castle banquet had an element of cheating involved.
While it's true that Prince Colin didn't dodge, she did take advantage of his unpreparedness and launched a preemptive attack to steal his first kiss.
That would obviously be an unfair victory, and it went against her principles of chivalry, so she didn't dare tell her brother about it.
The two never confirmed their relationship afterward, but tacitly avoided mentioning it.
As for Miss Ya Ya...
Having come to this unfamiliar land all alone, she must be unwilling to accept defeat in this way.
She had many family members behind her, but apart from Prince Colin, she had no one left to rely on...
According to the laws of Os, Yaya Mitia's actions clearly constituted elopement. Although her father was deceased, her brother was still alive.
Going abroad alone to seek refuge with her lover is essentially cutting herself off from her social circle.
Although Miss Yaya was always optimistic, Eileen could sense that she actually had a little anxiety and confusion about the future.
Thinking this way, Eileen once again fell into self-doubt and criticism, getting caught up in internal conflict over the so-called chivalrous spirit.
In contrast, the Shanghai tyrant sitting on the other side of the table was much more "carefree," currently crossing his arms and staring intently at the two suspicious individuals.
From the moment she finished speaking, Vivian had sensed something unusual. It was like a cunning fox that had not only stolen her precious treat but also urinated on it afterward.
It's too deliberate...
That expression.
Vivian squinted at Mia, who remained calm, and finally noticed the problem from her composed expression.
Normally, if I stared at her for that long, that guilty-looking guy would have already glared back with his useless fat.
Is Miss Padridge a demon who can endure being wronged?
So suspicious!
Vivian felt another pang of pain in her heart as she thought about this, and the alarm bells that had been ringing in her ears reached a climax.
Could it be...?
While she was battling the hero in the snow, this shameless fox spirit took advantage of her vulnerability and stole her brother's first kiss—
I don't want that kind of thing!
To end her self-inflicted anxiety, Vivian feigned indifference and coughed lightly.
"Miss Media."
Mia, who was fiddling with her napkin, tensed up instantly, her toes clenching tightly under the table. She was terrified of anyone talking to her, especially Vivian.
however--
Saying nothing makes one even more suspicious.
Seeing Vivian staring intently at her, Mia took a deep breath and forced a polite yet elegant smile.
"Is there anything I can help you with, Miss Vivian?"
Something is wrong!
This polite manner is really off!
Vivian's despair grew, yet a tiny glimmer of hope still lingered in her crimson eyes.
The questioning voice was almost a plea—
"You, you look a little different than usual?"
"Really? Heh heh... in what way?"
"Your complexion... seems more radiant than usual? Your cheeks are rosy, and your eyes are bright... Yes... yes..."
The vampire's pupils trembled in their sockets, as if an earthquake had struck.
Mia had never seen Vivian so spineless before, and for a moment she became a little carried away, gradually losing her elegant smile.
"Oh my... thank you for the compliment, you too, Miss Vivian. Speaking of which, when did you become so sweet-talking?"
"No, you're welcome..." Vivian's tightly closed lips moved slightly. She glanced quickly in Luo Yan's direction before lowering her gaze again. Her delicate voice trembled slightly as she asked, "Um... has something good happened to you lately?"
The bustling restaurant fell silent in an instant.
Even Princess Lino noticed the unusual atmosphere and looked away from her brother Gutaf, curiously glancing at her sister Vivian.
That's not all—
Richard and Alfred were equally surprised, looking at Vivian with astonishment, never expecting their leader to have such an expression on her face.
She didn't surrender even when her Aunt Eileen beat her up!
“Hmm…” Eileen tilted her head, her gaze shifting between Vivian and Mia, not understanding what had happened.
She had just thought about post-war resettlement. If Miss Yaya was willing to grant her and Prince Colin's wish, she would allow her, who had nowhere else to go, to continue living at Colin Manor.
Of course, if she wants to go to the convent, I will visit her regularly.
Everyone had their own thoughts.
Only the teacup in the Demon King's hand trembled like a leaf.
Mia's hands, resting on her knees, were tightly clasped together, trying to prevent the boiling blood from flowing to her increasingly flushed cheeks.
Damn Vivian—
Why ask at this time of year?!
The Padridge family's secret medicine obviously wouldn't fail so easily. She was currently in an extremely awkward situation, becoming extremely sensitive if she lied.
"May I share this with Miss Vivian?" Vivian pressed on relentlessly in a pitiful voice, seeing that Mia had not answered.
Without a doubt—
If she doesn't answer soon, Vivian will probably jump down and pounce on her, demanding an answer. And at that point, things probably won't end so easily.
For the sake of "the Demon King's grand scheme," Mia, her lips tightly pressed together, used all her strength to force out a few words through gritted teeth.
"……Can't."
This is the truth.
That's definitely not something you should say to a child... Although Vivian can no longer be considered a child, Alfred is only three years old.
Luo Yan put down his teacup and pressed his temples.
There was obviously a more tactful answer, but he seemed to have overestimated Padridge's stupidity.
Hopefully, this won't affect the child's intelligence.
"What is that?"
"I thought Sister Ya Ya had broken through."
After waiting for what felt like forever, Alfred and Richard sighed and looked away, clearly bored.
However, Vivian was stunned. Her scarlet eyes widened, and her mouth gaped open as if she had been struck by lightning.
Can't it?
What do you mean by "no way!!"
Given Padridge's usual idiotic personality, this guy would have already started to retort, or boasted about something he made up out of nothing, only to be completely exposed by his older brother... What's with this guilty look now?!
Be more assertive and confident!
Vivian, who was screaming in her heart, suddenly realized something and turned to look at her brother with lightning speed.
Luo Yan continued drinking tea.
Just a moment ago he was greeting everyone familiarly, but now he doesn't utter a single complaint...
Vivian faintly heard a shattering sound, and slumped into her chair, she was utterly devastated, as if she had turned back into the rag doll stuck in the snow.
Meanwhile, Eileen, sitting opposite her, looked around blankly, not understanding why a matter between two people had suddenly turned into a matter between three.
She was even more confused as to what was wrong with Vivian.
It's not surprising that Eileen couldn't tell; she and Miss Ya Ya had only known each other for a short time, while Vivian and Mia had known each other for a long time.
Just as Eileen was about to say something to lighten the increasingly tense atmosphere of the dinner, an innocent voice suddenly came from the other end of the table, hitting the hearts of the adults present perfectly.
"Sister Ya Ya, speaking of which, why did you disappear this afternoon?"
Miss Lino tilted her head and asked curiously, "Brother Gutaf was dragged off to a snowball fight by Sister Vivian, and I can't find anyone to play with. I was just looking for you... but I can't find you anywhere."
"Ah... I'm sorry, Miss Lino, I'm in the study, I have something to take care of..." Mia felt her heart stop halfway through her sentence.
That was close!
Fortunately, she managed to control the power of Padrich's ancestral potion at the critical moment; she was just one second away from dying!
However, she underestimated the child's curiosity.
Lino's eyes lit up, and she continued excitedly, "The study? Are you working on a new script? That's great! Can you tell Lino about it?"
How can I possibly say that!
Mia blushed and didn't say anything, only looking at Princess Lino with an awkward smile, which was tantamount to acknowledging this wonderful misunderstanding.
As for Princess Lino's expectations... I'm sorry, your sister Ya Ya is in a bit of a predicament right now. She'll apologize to you next time!
Seemingly sensing that Miss Yaya was not feeling well, Lino, though somewhat confused, did not continue to make things difficult for her.
"It seems Miss Ya Ya's script needs to be kept secret." She winked. "I'll look forward to the day it hits the stage!"
Mia glanced gratefully at Lino, who had spared her, and her increasingly stiff smile finally regained a touch of elegance.
"Thank you... for understanding."
What a sweet little angel!
Padridge will wish you well!
However, just as she was thinking this, Richard, who had just taken his attention away from her a second ago, suddenly interrupted.
"Speaking of which... Prince Colin also seemed to have disappeared this afternoon. I was thinking of inviting him to join me in fighting against Miss Vivian."
Alfred muttered a regretful remark as well.
"Yes, yes, if Uncle Colin were here, we wouldn't have been beaten up so badly by Sister Vivian..."
In an instant, Vivian's gaze toward Mia completely changed.
She seemed to realize something.
Beneath drooping eyelashes were a pair of emotionless, scarlet eyes, like shattered glass—
'I'm going to make you into red bean paste.'
That broken expression sent chills down Mia's spine.
What is this brat trying to do?!
Surely they wouldn't flip the table just because they can't get any food?!
Just as the suppressed volcano was about to erupt, Eileen, who had maintained an elegant posture throughout, seemed to have finally sorted out her thoughts and spoke.
"Alright, kids, you can't be so rude."
She put down her teacup, then glanced at Richard and Alfred, her voice gentle yet carrying an undeniable authority.
"His Highness Colin has many duties. He not only has to manage the territory, but also prepare for matters related to the Mage's Guild. He doesn't have time to play around with you."
As she spoke, she glanced at Ya Ya with a look of understanding and tolerance in her eyes.
"Miss Ya Ya, thank you for your hard work."
"Huh?"
"You were discussing the script with His Highness Colin in the study earlier, weren't you?"
"Ah, um..." Mia nodded, her face flushed, her stiff gaze gradually shifting to the teacup.
Eileen quickly quelled the awkward atmosphere in the restaurant and turned to look at Colin sitting next to her.
Those emerald green eyes were still full of concern and tenderness.
"Your Highness, you've worked so hard... You've been worrying about the guild until now. To be honest, I said I'd help you, but I haven't been able to do anything at all. I've been busy with my own things lately..."
Luo Yan felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look Eileen in the eye.
"...It's nothing, it's all part of my job."
Eileen frowned slightly, leaned closer, and carefully examined his face.
Why is your face so red? There seem to be some beads of sweat on your forehead... Are you feeling unwell?
Luo Yan's heart started racing instantly.
"...It's probably because the fireplace in the house is burning too brightly."
The secret to countering Padrich's potion is to only tell part of the truth.
However, it's clear that neither this statement nor the previous one has anything to do with the truth. And it is precisely for this reason that the alluring punishment is spreading silently…
Fortunately, Eileen didn't notice anything unusual.
She simply smiled gently, her eyes sparkling.
"It's a bit stuffy in the room, I'll have someone open some windows to let in some fresh air."
This was something the master should have done, but the servants in the manor didn't treat Miss Campbell as an outsider, so her actions didn't seem out of place at all.
However, her next move took everyone present by surprise.
She pulled a silk handkerchief embroidered with golden irises from her sleeve, leaned forward slightly, and wiped the sweat from Colin's forehead in front of everyone.
A faint scent of iris wafted over, mingling with the warmth of the girl's fingertips.
Luo Yan was stunned, frozen in his seat, staring in astonishment at Eileen who was so close to him, speechless for a moment.
This intimate behavior had clearly crossed the line of mutual respect, but Eileen, immersed in her own world, seemed unaware of it.
Richard and Alfred were completely unaware that the precocious Princess Reno had already covered her face with a blush, peeking out with her eyes through her fingers to observe.
As for Vivian... she didn't react much for the time being; it will be a long time before the little vampire is resurrected.
After doing all this, Eileen smiled gracefully.
However, that composure lasted only a second on Miss Campbell's face before being completely replaced by belated shame.
She hurriedly pulled the handkerchief back, stood up abruptly, and unnecessarily walked to the entrance of the dining room, where she gave instructions to the dumbfounded maid.
"Open the windows in the hallway a little."
"Yes, yes, Miss." The maid hurried off into the corridor.
Eileen watched her retreating figure, still facing away from the crowd without turning around, her heart pounding like a drum in her chest.
The scalding heat crept up her neck, staining her glistening earlobes red. She wished she could disappear through the crack in the window.
This was a trick she had just learned from Theresa a few days ago.
Theoretically, it should have been perfect, but she never expected that it would be so embarrassing to actually use it!
Thinking that Miss Ya Ya was still there, she felt even more guilty, as if she had taken advantage of someone in distress again... Eileen silently repented to Saint Sis in her heart.
Fortunately, Miss Ya Ya's face was even redder at this moment, and she didn't have time to pay attention to Miss Hero's little actions. Her nervous gaze had just shifted from the depths of the teacup to her knees, which she couldn't close even with all her might.
Hold on—
Now I can't say a single word.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere didn't last long. The oak door leading to the kitchen opened, and maids in neat uniforms filed in.
They carried silver trays and presented the evening's dishes one by one, while Eileen, blushing, returned to the table and sat down.
The main course is pan-seared bluetail sea bass, with a golden and crispy skin, garnished with rosemary, giving it an irresistible aroma.
Following that was a small bowl of soup in front of each person, which was the chef's recommended dish for the evening at Colin Manor—Golden Dragon Egg Soup.
"This is a nourishing soup specially prepared by the manor's kitchen today. Please enjoy it," the head maid said with a slight bow, before stepping aside.
The rich broth has an enticing amber-gold color, and its intense aroma carries a strange sweetness... It's a unique flavor that no other ingredient can replicate.
To be honest, dragon eggs are quite fishy, but the head chef at Colin Manor is different from Sarah, who only knows how to cook noodles, so he must have a special way of removing the fishy smell.
Luo Yan looked at the soup on the table without thinking much about it, picked up the soup spoon and took a small sip.
The taste was indeed quite good, which whetted his appetite, and he couldn't help but have another spoonful.
The same was true for everyone at the table; as they felt the soup slide down their throats, their eyes widened in surprise.
Vivian had the most unseemly eating manners.
She finished her portion in no time, then coveted Nanfu's bowl with ill intent.
Give it to me.
Sensing the blatant malice, Nanfu hurriedly protected his bowl.
'No! It's mine! Don't even think about it!'
As a Silver-level transcendent being, he felt a strange warm current flowing from the thick soup, slowly washing over his limbs and his mind.
This feeling is wonderful.
It was as if all the magic in the world was converging on him, causing every pore on his body to slightly open.
He couldn't wait to enter a meditative state!
This is the mystery of the dragon egg. The reason why his brother was able to level up so quickly is partly due to the nourishment from Taph.
Seeing the guests engrossed in enjoying the delicious food, Luo Yan couldn't help but smile faintly.
However, as expected—
The unexpected still happened.
"Aunt Eileen."
"What's wrong, Lino?" Seeing her adorable niece suddenly tilting her head to look at her, Eileen put down her spoon, a gentle smile on her face. "Is there something you need?"
Lino nodded, her innocent big eyes staring straight at her.
Why do you always secretly stare at Uncle Colin's neck?
Hearing that innocent remark from a child, Eileen's face turned red instantly.
"Huh? Really? Me? How could that be! Could you be mistaken?"
No matter how you look at it, this is not a proper way of denying it; on the contrary, it seems like a sophistry that only makes things worse.
"Lino can't be wrong."
Lino shook her head.
Normally, the sensible Miss Lino would probably have changed the subject to brush it off, but at this moment, Miss Lino was clearly not letting her emotional intelligence dictate her words, so she added another blow to her aunt's chest.
"That look in his eyes... it's like my little dog staring at a bone, wanting to pounce and bite it. Do you want to bite him too?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan almost spat out his drink, inwardly screaming, "Oh no!"
The effects of the medicine hadn't worn off yet, so much so that he didn't immediately realize that beneath that abundant magic lay another, subtle, and pervasive power—
That's a magic potion passed down through generations of the Padridge family!
However, Luo Yan never expected that this thing could penetrate into the egg, and he never expected that removing the fishy smell would not remove the magic!
Then, Luo Yan remembered the "beast medicine" he had fed Taf earlier, and the Demon King's expression changed completely.
Boomerang spared no one.
However, no one cared about the Demon King at the moment; all eyes were focused on Eileen, who was frantically trying to explain herself. Compared to Miss Ya Ya's succubus identity, Eileen's vampire identity seemed to be exposed first, something Luo Yan had never expected.
"Wait, wait a minute... that's exactly what I meant! Huh?? No, that's not right—"
Eileen, who had vehemently denied it, was taken aback. In her panic, she didn't even notice that Padridge's "blessing" was melting away the walls around her heart.
The legendary succubus is far too authoritative; the Campbell family's legend of heroes seems to fall short.
Eileen gripped the tablecloth tightly, her face flushed red as if it were about to bleed.
In desperation, the courageous warrior, pressing forward relentlessly, ultimately drove himself into a corner, and also cornered Colin.
"I... I just wanted to bite him! Is that wrong? What's wrong with that? He promised me... he said... I could suck... his..."
A deathly silence enveloped the entire restaurant.
As Eileen gradually realized what she had said, she was like a stranded fish, unable to utter a sound except for futilely opening her mouth.
The servants lowered their heads in fear, pretending to be deaf. Luo Yan sat stiffly in his chair, his entire body tense.
Alfred looked at Richard with confusion and asked in a low voice.
"What exactly did Uncle Colin promise Auntie?"
Richard's face tightened, and he reprimanded in a low voice.
"Children shouldn't ask so many questions..."
I've heard that after adults exchange saliva, little kids pop out. I guess Aunt Eileen was referring to them biting each other.
Just when Eileen was in despair, a furious shout suddenly broke the deathly silence.
"shut up!"
Vivian slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, her crimson eyes burning with fury. "That's my food!"
Eileen, who was so ashamed she wanted to crawl under the table just a moment ago, was stunned by the roar. She raised her head blankly, her eyes still showing a trace of lingering confusion.
"Food...?"
"what?"
Vivian, who had just shouted, was also stunned. Her expression changed slightly as she looked at her brother beside her in surprise, and then at Eileen, who looked completely bewildered.
The clever Vivian realized in an instant that something was wrong. Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, the force that made her lose control was clearly problematic.
Richard, who had been observing from the shadows, looked visibly bewildered.
food?
Did he misunderstand? Biting doesn't actually mean giving birth.
"Enough, Vivian! Shut your mouth!" Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Luo Yan reacted quickly and interrupted Vivian's attempt to explain with a sharp shout.
Normally, Vivian probably wouldn't be this obedient, but right now she's clearly not a normal vampire.
Her tense body suddenly went limp, her cheeks flushed, her fingers twisted together, and a strange and sickly smile appeared on her face.
"Ku... As expected of my elder brother... Please be... even stricter..."
Now not only the wand, but even the fork is getting hot to the touch.
Before Luo Yan's fork fell to the ground, Miss Lino's fork had already fallen to the ground first.
She forgot to pick it up, and just stared in surprise at Vivian, who was completely absorbed in the moment, then glanced at her dumbfounded brother Gutaf beside her, and at Prince Colin, who was unusually at a loss for what to do.
Saint Sith above...
What exactly is going on with the Colin family?!
Her precocious mind was in turmoil, as if a door to the "adult world" had suddenly opened before her and then crashed to the ground.
On the contrary, Eileen, who was already familiar with the situation, completely failed to grasp the hidden meaning in the sentence and was still confused by the word "food".
She wondered if she had misheard, or if Vivian was actually pointing to the sea bass on her plate... But why would she eat her?
Mia, sitting on the other side, was almost going crazy, frantically sending glances at Luo Yan.
Did you pour the leftover medicine into the soup?!
'How could this be... This is an accident.' Luo Yan gave her a look, while his mind raced, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.
However, the chaos did not stop because of his thinking. Prince Richard, who was secretly observing, finally noticed something unusual on Miss Yaya's face.
Her expression has been strange since just now.
Without a doubt—
The problem lies with her!
With his father not present, he felt obligated to make a fair judgment on behalf of the lord. So the young duke put down his cutlery and suddenly spoke with a serious expression.
“My father said that Miss Yaya is a distinguished guest, but I think she looks more like a thief than a guest today.”
Ok?
Richard was slightly taken aback. That wasn't what he actually meant to say, but what came out of his mouth was this unspoken thought.
Mia's body stiffened abruptly. She never expected that the flames that had almost burned Eileen to death would burn back onto her.
What are you saying—
"That's right! Brother is right!"
Before she could retort, Alfred next to her nodded seriously and continued to offer his insightful but pointed criticism in his childish voice.
"I noticed it just now. Miss Ya Ya had an expression on her face that looked like she had stolen the sweetest candy in the kitchen and was still savoring it."
One can only say they are truly descendants of heroes.
Miss Padridge instantly lost her composure, her face flushed red and steam rose from her cheeks, making her look like a lobster that had just crawled out of a steamer.
"Who are you calling a thief?! I think you're the thief! You dropped out of school and came here... It's mine, I... I can eat it if I want! How can that be stealing?!"
Lino: "...?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Alfred realized he had said something he shouldn't have, and hurriedly covered his mouth to apologize in a low voice.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I don't know why I blurted out what was on my mind."
It's clearly too late to take it back now—
"Ugh! Mia! You really did steal food, didn't you!" Vivian pointed at Mia, yelling angrily, "I knew you were up to no good by suddenly becoming so obedient! Give me back my brother!"
"You little brat... just you wait, next time I'm not only going to eat my fill, I'm going to eat right in front of you!"
Nanfu: "???"
Hearing the argument that broke out between the two, Eileen, who was still agonizing over the "food" issue, suddenly looked puzzled.
"Mia?"
“…That’s short for Yaya Midia! Enough, Vivian! I told you to shut your mouth.”
"But--"
Luo Yan snapped his fingers and finally couldn't resist using his source energy to completely cover Vivian's mouth.
Realizing she was about to really anger her brother, Vivian's shoulders trembled, and this time she finally remained silent.
She closed her trembling eyelashes and quietly awaited the impending, stormy punishment...
if so.
“…Richard is just a child, Miss Yaya, please don’t take it to heart. And Eileen…I’m sorry!”
"I'm sorry?" Eileen looked at Colin with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he suddenly wanted to apologize to her.
Luo Yan didn't explain. The next second, he suddenly stood up and looked at the head maid who was pressed against the corner of the wall, sweating profusely.
"There's something wrong with this soup! It must be due to the wrong mushrooms and hallucinogenic ingredients. I smelled the devil in it... Yes, it must be Nightmare Mushrooms."
"I'll go to the kitchen to check right away!" The head maid replied as if she had been granted a pardon, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen, lifting her long skirt.
The Demon King has already hinted at it—
We need to get a batch of pots—oops, nightmare mushrooms—from Nightmare Land as soon as possible!
“…So that’s how it is.” Eileen muttered softly, covering her burning forehead, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
That was close!
She thought her vampire identity was about to be exposed.
Aside from Prince Colin, only Theresa knew about this. She hadn't told her brother yet, and certainly wouldn't tell her nephew or niece…
Without giving anyone else time to think, Luo Yan shouted towards the door.
"Sarah! Take the soup away! Clean it up for me!"
The moment he finished speaking, the restaurant door opened smoothly, and Sarah walked in calmly.
She slightly lifted the hem of her maid's dress and gave Luo Yan an elegant and impeccable bow.
"Yes, my lord..."
When Luo Yan heard the word "master," his heart almost stopped, fearing that Sarah would utter the words "demon king."
Fortunately, Sarah didn't drink the soup.
However, he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to see a hint of cunning behind those swaying black hair ends.
It feels so good to tease my owner...
Sarah glanced at Vivian, who was being tightly controlled because she had "enraged" the Demon King, and then led the maids to remove the soup. This was what she was thinking.
As the maids removed the dragon egg soup, the source of all evil, one by one, the chaos in the restaurant finally found a moment of respite.
However, it was only a tiny bit.
Recalling her previous "bold words," Eileen was utterly ashamed and, after downing several glasses of wine, buried her face in her arms.
As for Vivian, although her mouth was sealed, it didn't stop her from staring intently at Mia with her expressive eyes.
Mia, having given up on herself, naturally glared back at him without any politeness, her eyes no longer daring to look away for the first time.
Isn't it just platinum level?
Heh heh heh, now I am too! Who's afraid of who!?
At worst... if we lose, we'll get it back from your brother.
Clearly, even among platinum-level powerhouses, it would be no easy task for the Padridge family's idiot to defeat the Colin family's genius.
The "cowardly" Mia has already started thinking about the CG after the defeat.
As for Luo Yan...
He was racking his brains trying to figure out how to end tonight's farce.
The citizens of Thunder City will never know that their sweet dreams were almost ruined by a few dragon eggs.
The truth is always so simple and unadorned.
This is true for both Shanghai and the Holy City.
Meanwhile, in the warm bed upstairs, the "culprit" of this chaos was unaware of what was happening downstairs and was turning over in his sleep.
Smacking her lips, Taff uttered a few indistinct murmurs.
"Ugh, I feel completely drained... I really can't go on anymore..."
"Damn Demon King..."
"Hehe, from now on... I'll eat whatever he gives me..."
I'm really panicking. Chinese New Year is almost here, and I don't have a single draft saved! =.=
