"Miss, may I ask your esteed na?" Seeing that Bai Ling had no intention of stopping, a noble who had been waiting for quite so ti finally couldn't help but speak up.
Bai Ling impatiently looked up at him. Didn't this guy know it was best not to disturb people while they were eating?
"If you don't know, then don't know. Don't bother ." She coldly dropped this line, then lowered her head to continue eating, looking determined not to stop until she'd finished everything here. The watching crowd's eyelids twitched.
This girl really didn't care about her image at all. If it were other noble girls in such a setting, even if they were hungry, they would only eat a few pastries to tide them over. How could they possibly eat so openly like this girl?
Doing this, the nobles present were even wondering if this girl was actually a beggar who had snuck in to freeload.
But her clothes were so luxurious, and when she wasn't eating, she looked so radiant. Saying she was a noble wouldn't feel out of place at all.
"Tch, who invited her? She's so disrespectful." The noble who had been rebuffed retreated into the crowd, muttering quietly.
Other nobles who were on good terms with him gestured toward the other side. "The Grand Duke hasn't said anything. This girl's background must be extraordinary."
The host of this banquet, Elsa, was standing not far away chatting with another girl in black. She had definitely noticed the commotion here, but she hadn't reacted for so long, which could only prove she felt this white-haired girl's behavior was fine.
However, the nobles' speculation was completely wrong this ti. Elsa not only felt Bai Ling's behavior was very inappropriate, but she also wished she could kick Bai Ling out right now.
But Leticia was right beside her. Even if she had such thoughts, she couldn't act on them.
If she couldn't kick Bai Ling out and instead got scolded by Leticia, that would be bad.
Although her chances of winning were slim, she still had so opportunity now. If she perford well, perhaps soday when Leticia got heartbroken by that white-haired demon, she might have a change of heart.
Elsa's embrace would always be open for any heartbroken Leticia.
"Miss Bai has completely beco the center of attention."
"Although I brought her here to help attract attention, she seems to be doing a bit too well." Leticia's eye couldn't stop twitching either. She had expected Bai Ling to be surrounded, but the situation she envisioned wasn't like this at all.
If Bai Ling continued eating like this, she'd probably be permanently labeled as a glutton and foodie.
Leticia didn't mind saying these words herself, but when others said them, she felt quite annoyed.
You bunch of monsters and demons—do you have the right to call Bai Ling a glutton?
No!
Only she, Leticia, had that right!
"Tch, too embarrassing. No, I'm going to drag her over here." Leticia jumped down from her chair and walked toward Bai Ling in her little boots.
Elsa was stunned for a mont before realizing her Majesty had been lured away by that white-haired vixen again.
Taking out a handkerchief, Elsa bit it jealously. She also wanted to be treated this way by Her Majesty, but why was the gap between human and demon so large?
Wuu wuu wuu, she clearly looked decent too. Although she couldn't compare to Bai Ling, this once-in-ten-thousand-years beauty, compared to other ugly ducklings, her advantage was significant, wasn't it?
But she lost so miserably. She was first in everything—being Leticia's friend, working for Leticia—so why could this white-haired fox so easily steal Leticia's heart while she could only be an unrequited lapdog?
"Sister Elsa." A small hand gently placed on Elsa's shoulder. Qila had sohow arrived here. "Don't be too sad. Sister Bai's advantages are indeed too great."
Qila no longer said things like Leticia would absolutely never be conquered by Bai Ling. Judging by the current progress, Leticia's complete downfall was just a matter of ti.
What kind of person was Bai Ling? Beautiful and strong, more anxious than Qila herself when Leticia encountered danger, ready to charge into divine domains with a sword to fight gods. With such a person pursuing Leticia, Qila really didn't think her sister, this shallow girl whose values followed her facial features, could hold out.
The only good news might be that her sister didn't seem like soone who would be swept away by love, and Sister Bai was also quite rational. Their relationship probably wouldn't progress too quickly or outrageously.
While these two girls were each feeling lancholy, Leticia had already squeezed through the crowd and reached Bai Ling's side.
She reached out and patted Bai Ling's shoulder.
This action was quite inappropriate in the nobles' eyes. After all, Bai Ling was wearing a dress that exposed her entire shoulders—Leticia was directly touching another girl's shoulder.
"Embarrassing." Not only touching her shoulder, Leticia spoke two words in a very haughty tone.
This attitude made the watching nobles frown again. This girl was so arrogant, actually stepping forward like this. Wasn't she afraid this white-haired girl was backed by so big shot she couldn't afford to offend?
The nobles began whispering among themselves, discussing who this suddenly appearing black-haired girl was. But after discussing for a long ti, they got no answer, only knowing this girl had been chatting happily with Elsa earlier.
Wait, so her coming here—did this represent Elsa's intentions?
So nobles' minds beca active. This black-haired girl had just been talking with Elsa, and now she ca here to confront this white-haired girl. It was hard not to think this was Elsa's instruction.
Elsa herself wasn't convenient to co forward, so she asked this black-haired girl to be the bad guy and stop the white-haired girl's mood-killing behavior. Very reasonable, right?
Too reasonable.
"You're managing what I eat now?" Bai Ling looked up, tilting her head as she asked.
It was clearly Leticia herself who said she could eat freely. Why was Leticia going back on her word now?
"Hey, look how much you've eaten." Leticia put her hands on her hips and asked back.
"This young lady, eating so much is indeed sowhat inappropriate." So nobles wanting to show their presence also chid in.
But they only received an eye roll from Leticia. "Do you have a say here?"
The few nobles who had spoken up were imdiately dumbfounded. What was this situation? Weren't they helping her? Why were they getting scolded instead?
"Co with ." Leticia grabbed Bai Ling's ear and slowly began twisting.
Bai Ling quickly put down the plate in her hands and jumped up from her seat. She didn't dare bet on whether Leticia would actually twist her ear.
Because she knew Leticia definitely would.
There was nothing in this world Leticia wouldn't dare to do.
"You all, move aside." Leticia looked coldly at the nobles surrounding them.
Her gaze gave people a very oppressive feeling, making even these worldly nobles involuntarily step back.
Walking through the path these nobles unconsciously cleared, Leticia led Bai Ling to a quieter place.
So nobles who still wanted to follow were deterred by one of Leticia's looks, which basically said: dare to co over and I'll kill you.
"Wasn't it you who said I could eat freely?" Bai Ling looked at Leticia sowhat aggrievedly. She had only eaten half her fill—her stomach was still sowhat hungry.
Her current pitiful expression, combined with her gorgeous formal wear, had devastating effects on Leticia.
Leticia's gaze wavered for a mont, and she almost said "then go ahead and eat."
"You... after we go back, you can eat whatever you want, okay?" Pinching hard at her waist through her clothes, Leticia finally escaped from the chard state.
Pain was always a good way to stay clear-headed.
"Tch." Bai Ling let out a light sound. As expected, simple seduction didn't work much.
Worthy of being Leticia—only such a girl had value in conquering.
"So now we just stay here and wait for the banquet to end?" Bai Ling carefully reached out, wanting to grab another small cake from a nearby plate.
"Such behavior." Leticia rcilessly slapped Bai Ling's hand away. "If you must take sothing, at least be discreet about it. Don't let see."
Taking things without letting Leticia notice—that difficulty was a bit high.
At such close distance, with Leticia's attention constantly on her, the difficulty of sneaking food might be greater than when she had eliminated all foreign monarchs in a single day.
But although the difficulty was high, she had to at least try. Otherwise, with such a boring banquet, Bai Ling couldn't stand even a single second.
"When can we leave? I'm feeling sowhat bored."
"Still early. This is just the opening phase. There's a dance later, and a pretty girl like you will receive quite a few dance invitations then." Right under Bai Ling's nose, Leticia took the cake she had just wanted and stuffed it in her mouth, then comnted disdainfully, "Tch, doesn't taste good."
This was provocation, definitely provocation!
Bai Ling felt her fists harden. Was this Leticia being just a tiny bit too punch-worthy?
"I'm staying with you now. When others co to invite , you can't escape either, right?"
"I'll scare them away with my glare." Leticia raised her head, showing her fierce little expression.
It had to be said, this expression could indeed scare away most people, but for a certain soone, this glare's deterrent power was far from enough.
"Cough cough, so for both our peace and quiet, how about you accept my invitation?" Bai Ling extended her hand, inviting Leticia to dance.
Leticia's answer was very much in her style. She would definitely refuse, because she had never planned to actually go on the dance floor.
"A toad wanting to eat swan at, huh? I won't agree to you." Leticia snorted, replying with a tsundere expression. "Besides, have you even learned to dance? Dancing with you, my feet would get stomped swollen."
"I think no matter what, I can be considered another swan." Bai Ling was sowhat dissatisfied with Leticia's comparison. How could such a beautiful girl like her be described as a toad?
This was a swan wanting to eat swan at!
Moreover, Bai Ling hadn't learned to dance, but Leticia hadn't learned either.
This girl who had laziness carved into her bones couldn't possibly have learned such a completely useless skill.
"And I think you'd probably dance even worse than . The one getting stomped should be my feet." Bai Ling's shoes weren't as sturdy as Leticia's. Getting stepped on would really hurt.
While Leticia's little boots looked very defensive—getting stepped on a few tis would probably be painless.
"You're looking down on ?" Leticia's eyes widened. She was actually being looked down on by Bai Ling?
Intolerable!
Bang!
She slamd the table hard, the loud sound undoubtedly attracting the gazes of nearby nobles.
Leticia used her murderous gaze to force those nobles' heads back down, finally fixing her stare on Bai Ling's face: "I'll have you know, I dance very well!"
"Oh ho?" Bai Ling indicated disbelief. "Then conquer with your skills. Empty words can't make people believe you."
"Fine, just wait. I definitely dance better than you!" Bai Ling's mockery made Leticia lose her rationality, and then she accepted Bai Ling's challenge.
Seeing Bai Ling's successful scheming smile, Leticia imdiately cald down. Thinking about what ridiculous thing she had just agreed to, she seed to have dug a pit and buried herself in it.
Bai Ling had indeed guessed one thing correctly—Leticia really couldn't dance. She hadn't even learned the basics.
Leticia's current thought was to quickly find an excuse to slip away. She couldn't lose face here.
"I think I drank too much. Going to the restroom first." Covering her stomach and putting on an expression of urgent need, Leticia used the classic bathroom escape technique.
"Ah, I also happen to be a bit urgent. I'll go with you." But Bai Ling wouldn't so easily let Leticia leave. Leticia's reaction just now had confird her suspicions were correct.
Watching this proud girl embarrass herself and then desperately find excuses afterward—just thinking about it made Bai Ling feel great.
"You..." Leticia gritted her teeth and squeezed out one word. "You're ruthless."
"So, still going?" Bai Ling asked cheerfully.
"Of course we're going." After all, Leticia did indeed have a bit of urgency.
