Chapter 149: Candlelit Dinner
Faced with Levni’s invitation, Luo Sheng sat down without hesitation. Monts later, a dog-eared maid ca over to put a napkin on him, prepared the cutlery, and set out several dishes of seven to eight-tenths cooked at with blood streaks.
Under the candlelight, it looked reddish in the darkness.
There were also so fruits that had already hardened, even frozen dry, their color sowhat dulled. The taste couldn’t be good, and they might even chip a tooth.
This dinner seed abundant, but the quality was not satisfactory. It was hard to sll the aroma of the at, probably due to the lack of spices to compensate in cooking.
But compared to the commoners outside, at least one could eat their fill here, just with poorer taste.
Luo Sheng ate without restraint, chewing slowly until the tough at chunks were ground to bits before swallowing.
Levni drank so red wine while watching him.
She also ate the tasteless food leisurely, long accustod to such coarse fare. Her movents remained graceful, ignoring the unpleasant sensations the food brought her.
Finally, she couldn’t help but speak, “You really are a special human. Do you understand the consequences of pursuing a succubus? Especially one of royal blood?”
“I don’t care. You should be able to see my strength.”
“How strange. With your abilities, you’d be at least a great lord in the human kingdoms. Moreover, am I that attractive to you? Or… do you just want to experience a life of debauchery? I can fulfill that for you right now.”
“That won’t be necessary. I’m truly just attracted to you,” Luo Sheng said casually, wearing a warm smile like the gentle sun of spring.
Levni shook her head helplessly, as if hearing sothing ridiculous. “Unfortunately, there can be no future between us. I hope you’re prepared for that.”
After all, the conflict between humans and demon sub-races was irreconcilable. As a mber of the royal family, she could not easily marry a human.
Even though her bloodline wasn’t pure, her subjects might still object.
Luo Sheng just smiled, “It doesn’t matter. I’ve never expected any reward.”
For him, he only needed the card to beco stronger. Other things were irrelevant. The purpose of entering the card world was also very clear, just to enhance the card.
“You really are an interesting fellow.” Levni gently put down her knife and fork, her deep pupils gazing at him.
The cold wind outside the castle continued to blow, but it was unusually warm inside.
Levni very tactfully accompanied him through the al, as a way to thank him for his labor today, until Luo Sheng left.
Only then did Levni return to the balcony, looking at the town under the night sky, its lights sparse, pondering so important matter. Today had brought her too many surprises.
Luo Sheng was arranged in a slightly tidier house, which was already considered the best place in the castle, but it still seed very shabby, with only a broken wooden table and chair, and a sowhat ager bed.
Lying on the slightly hard bed, hands behind his head, Luo Sheng thought, “This one has a severe case of paranoia. Looks like I’ll have to take it slow. I wonder if developing the territory helps her strength?”
Levni was the strangest card he had enhanced so far.
Her temperant was hard to fathom. Compared to cards like Bai Moxue, Acoley, and Alice, the difficulty was much higher. Perhaps this card’s starting point was already high, making enhancent quite challenging.
But he wasn’t discouraged. The ti flow in the card world was still 1:15.
“Mr. Luo, I’m a servant here. If you need any service, please let
know,” a wolf-girl maid knocked on the door and said respectfully.
She was specially sent by Levni to serve Luo Sheng, with a hint of shyness on her face.
“Not for now…” Luo Sheng was about to refuse, but then rembered sothing, “Uh… are there any books here? I need so reading material.”
“Certainly.” The wolf-girl nodded and left the room.
Monts later, she returned carrying several old books bound in parchnt. “These are all the remaining books in the castle.”
“Mm, just put them down.”
“Yes, Mr. Luo.”
The wolf-girl placed the books on the broken wooden table and then stood still, not moving, clearly with no intention of leaving.
Luo Sheng seed to understand Levni’s intention, thinking she just wanted soone to comfort him a bit, so he said, “You don’t need to stand guard here either. Go back and rest. I’m used to being alone.”
“Uh… alright…”
Only then did the wolf-girl leave the room.
Using the dim candlelight, Luo Sheng opened the parchnt-bound books. They were all written in the demon sub-races’ own language. Luo Sheng barely managed to understand the content by analyzing it with his spiritual power.
This was a fantastic continent.
In the most ancient tis, various races lived on this continent – centaurs, satyrs… and so on. Humans were originally just a branch of the demi-humans, even symbolizing a weak race.
After all, various races possessed unique talents, so with incredible strength, so skilled in wild running, and so with longer lifespans.
Humans, on the other hand, were only good at reproduction. But as their population increased, they gradually surpassed all other demi-humans, established their own kingdoms, and expelled other demi-human races.
As ti evolved, demi-humans were collectively terd as demon races by humans, and they themselves accepted this designation. They were driven to the other side by humans, gathering large numbers of various groups to establish nations to contend with humans.
Subsequently, the entire continent’s powers were divided into the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent.
The two sides were in extre opposition, with only sporadic trade and no other exchanges, frequently erupting into wars where they fought to the death.
The demon kingdom where Levni was located was a powerful kingdom ruled by a succubus, but her bloodline was not pure, so she was only assigned to rule a small, remote town.
Reading these books gave Luo Sheng a feeling of watching Ga of Thrones.
He spent the whole night reading.
The next day, Luo Sheng had to continue serving the town, lighting up 【Spring Returns to Earth】 on another mountain to allow the demi-human hunters to hunt and solve the town’s famine problem.
He didn’t know how long he would have to keep doing this.
The following days continued in the sa manner for about 5 days.
One day, Levni ca out of the castle. She was dressed simply in purple clothes and white gloves, walking on the snow-covered streets of the small town.
By now, the town had regained its vitality.
The streets were full of common folk selling jam, jerky, or wild vegetables, with calls of vendors echoing incessantly. Having grown tired of one type of food, they wanted to exchange with others for different tastes.
There were no longer hungry commoners on the streets. The townspeople’s once sallow faces gradually returned to normal, showing a hint of vitality.
A werewolf guard said nearby, “This is all thanks to Mr. Luo. Otherwise, who knows how long we would have been freezing out there.”
Levni nodded, “This guy seems to care even more than I do. I wonder what he’s really after?”
The werewolf guard instinctively said, “Isn’t it for you, Lord Governor?”
Levni first smiled lightly, then her face turned serious.
