Chapter: Chapter 195
“Miss, may I know your esteemed surname and name?” Seeing that Bai Ling had no intention of stopping, a noble who had been waiting for a long time couldn’t help but ask.
Bai Ling looked up at him impatiently. Did this guy not know it was best not to disturb people while they were eating?
“If you don’t know, then don’t bother me.” She coldly dropped this sentence, then lowered her head and continued eating, looking as if she wouldn’t stop until she had eaten everything in sight. The onlookers’ eyelids twitched.
This girl really didn’t care about her image. If it were any other noble girl in this situation, even if she were hungry, she would only eat a few pastries to fill her stomach. How could she eat to her heart’s content like this girl?
Seeing her eat like this, the nobles present even suspected if this young lady was a beggar who had snuck in for a free meal.
But her clothes were so luxurious, and when she wasn’t eating, she was so radiant that there was no sense of incongruity in calling her a noble.
“Tsk, who invited her? That’s too much.” The noble who was rebuffed retreated back into the crowd and muttered softly.
Other nobles in the crowd who had a good relationship with him nodded towards another direction. “The Grand Duke hasn’t said anything, so this girl’s background must be extraordinary.”
Elsa, the organizer of this banquet, was chatting with another girl in black not far away. She had certainly noticed the commotion here. Her lack of reaction for such a long time could only mean that she felt the white-haired girl’s actions were not problematic.
However, the nobles’ guess was completely wrong this time. Elsa not only felt that Bai Ling’s behavior was very wrong but also wished she could kick Bai Ling out right now.
But Leticia was by her side, so even if she had this idea, she couldn’t put it into practice.
If Bai Ling wasn’t kicked out and she herself was reprimanded by Leticia, that would be bad.
Although her chances of winning were slim, there was still a sliver of hope now. If she performed well, perhaps one day Leticia would be heartbroken by the white-haired monster and change her mind?
Elsa’s embrace was always open to any heartbroken Leticia.
“Miss Bai has become the center of attention.”
“Although I brought her here to help me attract attention, she seems to be doing a bit too well.” Leticia’s eyes twitched uncontrollably. She had expected Bai Ling to be surrounded, but the situation she had envisioned was nothing like this.
If Bai Ling continued to eat like this, she would probably be permanently labeled a glutton and a foodie in the future.
Leticia felt that it was fine for her to say these words herself, but she felt quite uncomfortable when others said them.
You monsters, do you have the right to call Bai Ling a glutton?
No!
Only she, Leticia, had the right!
“Tsk, how embarrassing, no, I’ll go drag her over.” Leticia jumped off her chair and walked towards Bai Ling, stepping in her little boots.
Elsa was stunned for a moment before realizing that her Majesty had been charmed away by that white-haired vixen again.
Taking out a handkerchief, Elsa bit it with jealousy. She also wanted to be treated like this by her Majesty, but why was the gap between humans and demons so large?
Wuwuwu, although she wasn’t bad-looking, and while she couldn’t compare to Bai Ling, a once-in-a-millennium beauty, she had a great advantage compared to other ugly freaks, didn’t she?
But she lost so miserably. It was she who came first, whether it was becoming Leticia’s friend or doing things for Leticia, why could this white-haired fox so easily steal Leticia’s heart, while she could only be a dog licking after unrequited love?
“Sister Elsa.” A small hand gently rested on Elsa’s shoulder. Kira had walked over at some point. “Don’t be too sad, sister Bai’s advantages are indeed too great.”
Kira no longer said that Leticia could never be conquered by Bai Ling. Given the current progress, Leticia’s complete downfall was only a matter of time.
Who was Bai Ling? She was beautiful and powerful. When Leticia was in danger, she was more anxious than her sister Kira, wishing to grab her sword and rush into the divine realm to fight the gods. With someone like this pursuing Leticia, Kira didn’t think her superficial sister, whose values followed her appearance, could resist.
The only good news was that her sister didn’t seem like someone who would be blinded by love, and sister Bai was also quite rational. Their relationship wouldn’t progress too quickly or outrageously.
While the two girls here were grieving separately, Leticia had already squeezed into the crowd and walked up to Bai Ling.
She reached out and patted Bai Ling on the shoulder.
This action was considered a significant overstep in the eyes of the nobles. After all, the clothes Bai Ling was wearing exposed her shoulders completely, and Leticia was directly touching another girl’s shoulder.
“Disgraceful.” Not only did she pat her shoulder, but Leticia also uttered two words in a very proud tone.
This attitude made the surrounding nobles frown again. This girl was so arrogant and was actually acting so protectively. Wasn’t she afraid that Bai Ling had some powerful figure behind her whom she couldn’t afford to offend?
The nobles whispered among themselves, discussing who this black-haired girl who suddenly appeared was. But after much discussion, they couldn’t get an answer, only knowing that this girl had been chatting happily with Elsa just now.
Wait, so does her coming here represent Elsa’s intention?
Some nobles became more thoughtful. This black-clothed girl had just been talking with Elsa and now came here to attack this white-haired girl. It was hard not to consider if this was Elsa’s instruction.
Elsa found it inconvenient to come forward herself, so she asked this black-haired girl to be the bad guy to stop the white-haired girl’s unseemly behavior. It was logical, wasn’t it?
It was too logical.
“I’m just eating something, and you’re going to manage me?” Bai Ling looked up, tilting her head and asked.
Leticia herself had said she could eat whatever she wanted. Why did Leticia go back on her word now?
“Hey, look at how much you’ve eaten?” Leticia retorted with her hands on her hips.
“Miss, eating so much is indeed a bit much.” Some nobles who wanted to draw attention also chimed in.
But they only received a glare from Leticia. “Is this your place to speak?”
The few nobles who stepped forward were stunned. What was going on? Weren’t they helping her? Why were they being scolded instead?
“Come with me.” Leticia grabbed Bai Ling’s ear and slowly twisted it.
Bai Ling quickly put down her plate and jumped off her seat. She didn’t dare to gamble whether Leticia would dare to twist her ear.
Because she knew that Leticia would definitely dare to twist it.
There was nothing in this world that Leticia dared not do.
“You guys, move aside.” Leticia glanced coldly at the nobles surrounding them.
Her gaze carried a great sense of pressure, causing even the nobles who had seen greater scenes to involuntarily take a step back.
Stepping out from the path that the nobles subconsciously cleared, Leticia took Bai Ling to a quieter place.
As for some nobles who wanted to follow, they were deterred by a look from Leticia. That look basically said, if you dare to come over, I’ll kill you.
“Didn’t you say I could eat whatever I want?” Bai Ling looked at Leticia a bit wronged. She had only eaten half her fill and was still a little hungry.
Her pitiful gaze, coupled with her gorgeous evening gown, had an overwhelming destructive power on Leticia.
Leticia’s gaze faltered for a moment, and she almost blurted out, “Then go ahead and eat more.”
“You… you can eat to your heart’s content when we get back, okay?” Leticia pinched her waist hard through her clothes, finally freeing herself from the enchanting state.
Pain was always a good way to sober up.
“Tsk.” Bai Ling gave a light tsk. As expected, simple seduction was not effective.
As expected of Leticia, only such a girl was worth the effort to conquer.
“Then we’ll just stay here and wait for the banquet to end?” Bai Ling cautiously reached out, wanting to grab another small cake from the nearby plate.
“Such behavior.” Leticia unhesitatingly slapped Bai Ling’s hand away. “If you want to take one, do it discreetly, and don’t let me find out.”
Taking things without Leticia noticing was a bit difficult.
They were so close, and Leticia’s attention was always on her. The difficulty of stealing food might be greater than her previous achievement of eliminating all the monarchs of different races within a day.
However, even though the difficulty was great, it was still worth trying. Otherwise, Bai Ling wouldn’t be able to endure such a boring banquet for even a second.
“When can we leave? I’m finding it a bit boring.”
“It’s still early. This is just the opening. There will be a dance later, and a beautiful girl like you will receive many invitations to dance then.” Leticia took the pastry Bai Ling had just tried to grab, put it into her own mouth under Bai Ling’s nose, and then commented with a look of disdain, “Tsk, it doesn’t taste good.”
This was a provocation, this was definitely a provocation!
Bai Ling felt her fists clench. Wasn’t this Leticia a little too punchable?
“If I’m staying with you, you won’t be able to avoid it when people invite me, right?”
“I’ll scare them away with my eyes,” Leticia said, tilting her head and revealing her fierce little eyes.
Admittedly, those eyes could scare away most people, but for a certain person, the deterrence of those eyes was far from enough.
“Ahem, so for the sake of our peace, why don’t you accept my invitation?” Bai Ling extended her hand, extending an invitation to dance to Leticia.
Leticia’s reply was very much in her style. Refusing was definitely refusing, because she had no intention of actually participating in the dance from the beginning.
“A toad wanting to eat swan meat, right? I won’t agree to you.” Leticia snorted and said proudly, “Besides, have you learned to dance? Dancing with you would make my feet swell from being stepped on, right?”
“I think I am considered another swan no matter what.” Bai Ling was unhappy with Leticia’s analogy. How could such a beautiful girl be described as a toad?
She was a swan wanting to eat swan meat!
Furthermore, Bai Ling hadn’t learned to dance, but neither had Leticia.
It was impossible to imagine that this girl, who had laziness etched into her bones, would learn such a useless skill.
“And, I think you might dance worse than me. My feet would be the ones to swell from being stepped on.” Bai Ling’s shoes were not as thick as Leticia’s. If she were stepped on, it would really hurt.
And Leticia’s little boots looked like they had good defensive capabilities. Being stepped on a few times would probably be painless.
“You look down on me?” Leticia’s eyes widened. She was actually looked down upon by this girl?
If one could endure, one couldn’t but endure!
Slap!
She slammed the table hard. The loud noise undoubtedly attracted the attention of the nobles nearby.
Leticia forced the nobles’ heads back down with a murderous gaze. Finally, her gaze landed on Bai Ling’s face. “I’m telling you, I dance very well!”
“Oh?” Bai Ling expressed her disbelief. “Then you should conquer me with your skill. Empty words are not convincing.”
“Okay, you wait. I’ll dance absolutely better than you!” Bai Ling’s mockery made Leticia lose her reason, and then she accepted Bai Ling’s challenge.
Seeing Bai Ling’s triumphant smile, Leticia immediately calmed down. Thinking about what she had just agreed to, she felt like she had dug a hole and buried herself.
Bai Ling was actually correct about one thing: Leticia really couldn’t dance, and she hadn’t even learned how to.
Now, Leticia’s idea was to quickly find an excuse to leave, so as not to lose face in this place.
“I seem to have drunk too much beverage, I’ll go to the restroom first.” Covering her stomach and pretending to be in urgent need, Leticia used the toilet escape technique first.
“Ah, I also happen to have an urgent need, so I’ll go with you.” But how could Bai Ling let Leticia leave so easily? Leticia’s previous reaction had already convinced her that her guess was correct.
Seeing such an arrogant girl make a fool of herself in front of her, and then desperately finding excuses to explain afterward, Bai Ling found it satisfying.
“You…” Leticia gritted her teeth and squeezed out a word, “You win.”
“Well, do you still want to go?” Bai Ling asked cheerfully.
“Of course, I have to go.” After all, Leticia really had a bit of an urgent need.
