Chapter 157 Wow~ This young man!
Krul took Diana's index finger into his mouth and bit it, drawing blood. Instantly, an exquisite flavor filled his mouth, and his earlier resentment vanished. 'This is so delicious!'
Diana felt a tickle in her fingers. Watching Krul suck on her fingers, even closing his eyes to enjoy it, she felt something was off. 'Is it really that delicious?'
Bonnie's mouth dropped open; the scene before her was enough to shock her for a whole year. 'Does the lady fall for this? She... she is...?'
Bonnie quickly shook her head, trying to banish the dangerous thought from her mind. 'Absolutely impossible!'
Krul's blood-drinking speed was very slow and gentle. Apart from feeling a little awkward, Diana felt no discomfort; she just thought it was too slow.
After a moment, Diana grew impatient and urged:
"Hey, are you done yet? I want to go shopping for a bit more!"
Krul slowly opened his eyes, and his resentful gaze made Diana feel somewhat guilty.
"Um... even if you look at me like that, it won't help! I'm in a hurry!"
Krul licked the blood off Diana's fingers and reluctantly let go.
Diana withdrew her hand and wiped it on her clothes.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
After saying that, Diana turned and walked out.
Krul gritted her teeth. She had seen everything Diana did. She couldn't understand why, given her inherent charm as a vampire, it had no effect on Diana, and why Diana seemed to dislike her so much.
Krul followed Diana out of the house, unwilling to believe Diana could remain unmoved. 'We've only met a few times; she doesn't know me yet. Given time, she'll surely succumb to my charm!'
Diana stepped out of the house and, sensing Krul following behind, reluctantly stopped.
Caught off guard, Krul bumped into Diana's back.
"Why did you stop? You did it on purpose!"
Before Diana could speak, she heard Krul's angry voice behind her.
Diana turned and moved closer to Krul, glaring at her.
"You still have the nerve to talk back! You're the one who bumped into me!"
Krul's eyes widened as he looked at Diana, who was so close to him. The aura emanating from her made his heart race, and in his panic, he instinctively took a small step back.
After retreating, Krul finally realized what had happened, a wave of shame and anger rising within him. 'Damn it! Why did I retreat?!'
"Who told you to stop suddenly! Otherwise I wouldn't have bumped into you!"
Diana rolled her eyes.
"You didn't know that you're fully responsible for a rear-end collision?"
Seeing Krul's puzzled expression, Diana didn't bother to explain. She looked up at the darkening sky, guessing that the barbecue restaurant was probably open by now.
"I'm not going to argue with you about who's right and who's wrong. Just stop following me."
"Who said I was following you? I'm going out too!"
Diana didn't argue with her and turned to walk towards the food street.
Krul gritted his teeth and followed, 'I'm going to follow you anyway!'
Bonnie, seeing him off at the door, watched Krul leave with Diana, her heart filled with mixed emotions. 'My lord is in a dangerous state! I absolutely must tell him that Diana is a wicked woman!'
At the street corner, a pair of furry black ears peeked out. A moment later, Lilia poked her head out, watched the two figures disappear into the distance, and muttered to herself:
"So this is the cat that stole fish!"
······
On the beach of Williere in the east, Murong Bai gazed into the depths of the sea, the roaring sea breeze tousling his hair.
An old woman, carrying a bamboo basket full of seafood, was about to go home when she subconsciously glanced at the distant beach, where the white figure was still standing.
"Hey, why is this young man still standing there? Is he thinking of doing something rash?"
The old woman put down her bamboo basket and went over.
"Young man, what are you doing here? I've seen you standing here all day!"
Murong Bai glanced at the old woman but didn't answer, continuing to gaze at the sea.
Seeing this, the old woman became even more suspicious that Murong Bai had lost his mind. She came up to him and said kindly:
"Young man, I've seen you standing here all day. Tell me what's wrong, maybe I can help you. You're so young, don't do anything foolish!"
Murong Bai didn't understand what she was saying, but he still explained:
"Girl, I'm fine. I'm just waiting for a friend."
Murong Bai is several hundred years old, so calling her "old woman" is quite reasonable.
The old woman was overjoyed to hear the word "girl," and even the wrinkles on her forehead softened considerably, especially with Murong Bai's handsome appearance.
The old woman felt her long-dormant heart begin to flutter.
"You're quite the talker, young man."
"I saw you here this morning. Who were you waiting for? It's almost dark now. Did you agree on the wrong time? It's very cold at the beach at night. I think you should go back first!"
The old woman's words enlightened Murong Bai.
"Yeah! I didn't arrange to meet Anna here either! It's normal that I didn't get to see her!"
The old woman was full of questions. 'Wow, this young man has been waiting here all day. It turns out he's been waiting for someone unilaterally. What a pity, he's handsome, but his brain isn't very sharp.'
Murong Bai looked at the old woman.
"Young lady, do you know where Diana lives? If you can tell me, I will reward you handsomely!"
The old woman lost herself in the repeated calls of "girl," patting her chest and making a promise.
“Young man, you’ve come to the right person. I’ve lived in Williere for decades, and there’s not a single person I don’t know!”
"No need for thanks. I do know a few women named Diana. Tell me about her features."
Murong Bai thought for a moment, and Diana's image immediately came to mind, and he couldn't help but smile.
"She's adorable, very outgoing, and always does things you never expect. She also loves to laugh..."
The old woman was speechless for a moment. 'This child definitely has some mental issues. I asked you to describe his features, and you're praising him instead?'
"Young man, stop for a moment. Just describe her physical features; there's no need to go into such detail!"
Murong Bai scratched his head sheepishly.
"Anna, she has long, straight, silver-white hair, silver-white eyes, a chubby face, and isn't very tall..."
The old woman quickly interrupted.
"Alright! Young man, I understand. The girl you're talking about is too famous. I'm sure everyone knows her by now!"
"Isn't that Diana, the lord of Oliver City!"
“I ran into her and Miss Louise and her entourage yesterday.”
"Miss Louise said they're only back for a day and will be heading back to Oliver City today. You can't expect to see Miss Diana here!"
Murong Bai hesitated about whether to use the one-time use spatial coordinate crystal, but in the end he rejected the idea.
"Young lady, do you know how to get to Oliver City?"
The old woman turned and pointed north, then sighed.
"Sigh~ Oliver City is in the far north, very far from here. It would probably take more than a month to get there!"
"I think you should..."
The old woman turned around again, but Murong Bai was gone. Only a fist-sized pearl on the ground was there, emitting a faint luster.
