I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

Chapter 158 1 Smiling away grudges

Oliver City is even more lively at night than during the day, with various lights illuminating the town as if it were daytime.

Since Oliver City got electricity, the nights are no longer boring. Working during the day and relaxing at night has significantly improved people's happiness index.

Diana and Krul walked side by side down the bustling food street. Diana was helpless against Krul's shameless following and stubborn attitude.

When passing by that barbecue restaurant from last time, Krul pointed.

"Since you helped me, this time it's my treat!"

Diana rubbed her hands together; how could she possibly let go of this opportunity to freeload? 'Finally, I've got my chance!'

"You said it yourself! Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Krul raised his chin slightly, looking completely nonchalant.

"Hehehe~ I said it! Eat whatever you want!"

As the two entered the store, Diana gave the owner a wink.

"Boss, we're having a treat today, so please bring out all the food!"

The boss immediately understood and led the two to their seats.

"Sir, please rest assured! We have plenty of stock!"

The owner was very skilled, and soon the staff brought out plates of barbecue.

Diana grabbed a handful of skewers in each hand and started eating them.

Krul didn't hold back either, following suit, and the plates on the edge of the table kept falling higher and higher.

Krul's pace slowed more and more; she was almost sick of eating, but she kept stuffing skewers into her mouth. 'Damn it! How can this tiny body eat so much!'

Diana ate the barbecue skewers one after another, enjoying the smooth texture throughout.

Diana caught a glimpse of Krul stuffing barbecue into his mouth out of the corner of her eye, and was speechless.

"If you can't eat, don't force yourself!"

Krul pouted, looking defiant.

"Ke, who said I can't eat anymore! It's just that I'm getting a little tired of eating this all the time."

Then, Krul stood up and called over a shop assistant.

"Bring me some wine!"

The orc shopkeeper came over, looked Krul up and down, and said somewhat apologetically:

"Sir, the restaurant has a rule that minors are not allowed to drink alcohol!"

Krul slammed his hand on the table and jumped to his feet.

"Look carefully! Who's a minor? I'm old enough to be your ancestor! Call your boss over here!"

The orc shopkeeper looked down at the little girl, who was half a head shorter than him. He scratched his head and reluctantly agreed, 'You're just a little brat, yet you want to be my boss! If it weren't for the laws, I'd definitely punish your naughtiness!'

Krul felt his temper had improved a lot. If it were before, the orc's grave would have been overgrown with weeds by now, and the boss would be here soon.

"What's wrong with your staff? Have you provided them with proper training?!"

"You're right! This was our mistake!"

The boss flattered him repeatedly, saying that this was a friend of the Demon King, and he dared not neglect him.

Krul sat down again.

"Go and bring up the best wine!"

The boss glanced at Diana and, seeing her constantly giving him meaningful glances, instantly understood.

"No problem! I'll go get the wine right away!"

Diana rubbed her forehead with one hand. "I told you not to sell alcohol! Why couldn't you understand?"

Krul couldn't help but laugh when he saw Diana's appearance.

"Keke, what's wrong? Are you scared? If you don't dare to drink, just say so, I won't force you!"

Diana stuffed all the skewers in her hand into her mouth.

"Fear? There's nothing in this world that I'm afraid of!"

"My alcohol tolerance is terrifying!"

Krul barely suppressed a laugh. 'You can hold your liquor? One drink and you're out? That's really scary!'

"Alright! Let me see your drinking capacity! I'll be impressed if you can drink three glasses!"

Diana was somewhat disdainful. She had no doubt about her alcohol tolerance; she had no recollection of her previous experience of blacking out from drinking.

"Tch~ Who do you think you are? Don't even mention three cups, I wouldn't be afraid of thirty cups!"

Soon, the boss brought out a jar of wine. As he left, he kept turning back to look at Diana, still vivid in his memory of how she had passed out after just one cup.

Krul smiled slyly, poured a glass of clear white wine for Diana and herself, and had already planned out the scene of taking Diana back later.

"Let me see how much you can drink."

Diana picked up the glass, the pungent smell instinctively making her feel resistant. 'It's just a glass of wine! Why do I feel this way? Never mind!'

Diana gritted her teeth and brought the wine to her lips.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, and a hand grabbed Diana's hand holding the glass, snatching the wine from her hand.

"My lord, you promised everyone you wouldn't drink alcohol, meow!"

Lilia tilted her head back and downed Diana's drink in one gulp, then let out a burp.

Krul was furious.

"Where did this stray cat come from, daring to ruin my plans!"

Lilia bared her teeth at Krul.

"You treacherous cat, you're trying to steal my adult cat again!"

Krul stood up abruptly and pointed at Lilia.

"You stray cat, who are you calling a cat that steals fish!"

Lilia stuck out her tongue and made a face.

"I'm talking about you, you philandering cat, you philandering cat..."

Diana was puzzled to see the two start fighting as soon as they met. "These two shouldn't have any grudge against each other, right?"

"What are you doing! Why are you suddenly arguing! You should be meeting for the first time!"

Krul and Lilia both looked at Diana at the same time, their gazes remarkably identical, as if to say something.

"Don't you have any idea how we started arguing?"

The look in their eyes made Diana even more confused.

To ease the tension, Diana poured three more glasses of wine and handed them to the two of them in turn.

"Why get so angry! Meeting is fate, come! Drink this cup of wine, and let bygones be bygones!"

"I'll do it first!"

Diana held her breath, tilted her head back, and drank the wine in her glass in one gulp.

Snapped--

Diana's head slammed straight onto the table—and she fell asleep instantly.

Krul's hand hovered in the air, his words of protest yet to come out.

Krul and Lilia glanced at the drunken Diana, then looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.

After serving the drinks, the owner, who was in the distance, had been watching this area closely. As expected, the scene he had anticipated unfolded, and he quickly stepped forward.

"The master is drunk again! Should we send someone to take you home?"

"no need!"

Krul and Lilia spoke at the same time, perfectly in sync, and then each helped Diana up on one side, and started to walk out.

The boss quickly spoke up to remind him.

"Um! Miss, you said you were going to treat us earlier, could you please settle the bill?"

Krul would never carry money around, he rolled his eyes at the boss, and pointed at the drunk Diana with his other finger.

"I'll treat you, and she'll pay!"

After saying that, the two helped Diana out of the barbecue restaurant.

The boss scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

"Is this even possible?!"
