Nasha was grinning from ear to ear, while Buck and Evan were smiling ambiguously. Gray and Harry glared at the white crane, one with contempt and the other with anger.
Laurel stood beside Nasha, her face flushed red. She glanced at the white crane and then glared at Nasha with a reproachful look. Unfortunately, the latter didn't feel it at all.
However, Treney wasn't as good-tempered as Laurel. At this moment, she was like an injured female leopard. Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and her body was slightly trembling. She was obviously very angry.
The surrounding customers also put down their wine glasses and looked over. The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Yu Feng was indeed a famous person in the Imperial Capital. After experiencing such a big scene, he quickly calmed down. He greeted everyone with a smile as if nothing had happened, but his smile was a little forced." Why are you guys here? What a coincidence!" Treany, Gray, I heard that you killed Raoul. Thank you so much. It's a shame for the Imperial Guards to have such a scum. Fortunately, Laurel is fine now. Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain it to the Empress.”Laurel's mother was the younger sister of the Empire's Empress, and the Empress was very fond of Laurel, this obedient niece.
"Thank you for your concern. I came here to thank young master White Crane. My brother was very rude just now, please don't take offense. If you don't mind, please come to my house for a gathering.”
The White Crane wasn't as panic-stricken as the surrounding customers had expected. It gave a nonchalant smile to Treney, then politely rejected Laurel's invitation.
"It is my honor to serve you." Bai He bowed very gentlemanly." Your brother didn't do anything rude. I want to enjoy the local customs of the Imperial Capital, so I won't disturb you."”
Laurel guessed that Bai He wanted to avoid the awkwardness just now, so she didn't insist.
"In that case, if you need anything, please let me know. There will be a banquet in the mansion tomorrow. Please come, young master, so that I can thank you in person.”
This time, Bai He did not refuse. He smiled and nodded."I'm honored to receive your invitation. I'll definitely be there on time.”
Looking at the departing figures of Treny and the others, Yu Feng let out a long sigh. He smiled bitterly at Bai He and said,"The Luck Goddess is really taking care of us! You're staying at Treny's place, right? Why don't you stay at my house today? If you anger her, you have to be careful.”
Bai He only stared at the amber-colored wine in the cup and said indifferently,""There's no need for that. Would I be afraid of a woman?”
Yu Feng was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed loudly,"Good! Let's continue drinking!"
After leaving the tavern, Laurel bade farewell to everyone and headed straight to the Temple of Light in the Imperial Capital with Treney and Nasha.
When Laurel was seriously ill, she received a lot of care from the capital's archbishop, Carnot. According to tradition, she should thank the God of Light as soon as possible for his blessing.
"Sister Laurel, that White Crane is really bold, actually saying such words…Hehe, do you want to repay him for saving your life with your body?”Nasha kept laughing and teasing Laurel along the way.
Laurel blushed at Nasha's words." Don't you always have two escorts by your side? You're so young and you're already like this. In the future, your pursuers will definitely be able to form an imperial guard!”
"Nasha is no longer a child!”Nasha protested. She suddenly felt that what she said was inappropriate, and her face turned red. She immediately changed the topic." But the white crane is really rude. It even said…" Her tone softened, and she secretly glanced at Treney.
There was not a trace of a smile on Trene's tensed face. She squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "Shameless!"
White Crane's manly words had deeply hurt her self-esteem. If he hadn't just cured Laurel and saved her life, Tracy would have pulled out her sword and challenged White Crane to a duel. Men who looked down on women or treated women as accessories were what Tracy hated the most.
In this awkward atmosphere, the three of them walked into the temple. Just then, Arlene returned to the temple and came out to welcome him.
"Laurel, your injuries are healed. Thank the great God of Light. Why aren't you resting at home? Why are you here?”
Laurel smiled as she held Erlinnie's hand, her joy overflowing.""I miss you! I came to find you, the high priest, to give me your blessings. Is Archbishop Kanuo here?"
"Yes, the archbishop is inside. He'll be happy to know you're well. What a miracle!"
Treny's face was pale. For some reason, after entering the Brilliance Shrine, she felt a strong sense of oppression. It was as if the Divine Domain was full of hostility towards her. The more she walked to the center of the temple, the more intense the frustration became. She had never felt this way before. It was as if she was facing an irreconcilable enemy.
The Archbishop of the Imperial Capital, Carnot, was the most famous priest on the continent. Currently, there were a total of four priests with the title of archbishop on the Atte continent. The Temple was an independent system and did not belong to any country. On the contrary, the coronation of emperors and kings of various countries " On the Atte continent, only the monarchs of the four empires had the title of emperor, while the monarchs of other small countries could only be called kings ". They had to be recognized by the Temple, and the coronation ceremony was presided over by the archbishop. Thus, the Temple had a lofty status on the continent, and Archbishop Carnot was the second most important person below the Pope of the Temple, his status incomparably revered. He was now over 90 years old. About 60 years ago, because of his devout faith, he was recognized by the gods and signed a contract with a high-level god called Elsa. He had the ability to control the light element. His cultivation in Holy Magic was so deep that it was difficult for humans to surpass him.
However, since yesterday, an inexplicable sense of oppression had been shrouding his heart, as if some terrible disaster was about to happen. He actually felt a sense of fear in his heart. This kind of feeling had never appeared even when he killed a high-level demon twenty years ago!
Great and benevolent God of Light, please take care of your people and protect them from the invasion of evil forces! The old priest prayed silently.
Arlene led everyone to the door of the hall and reported to the archbishop in a clear voice,""Archbishop, Miss Laurel is here to thank the God of Light for his blessing.”
"Oh, Laurel, has her injury recovered? Thank the great and merciful God of Light! Arlene, invite them in!”The Archbishop's loving voice echoed in the hall.
Everyone walked into the great hall. Archbishop Kanuo stood alone beside the statue of the Radiant Godking in the middle of the great hall. His back was facing everyone, and only when everyone approached did he turn around.
Archbishop Carnot gave off the feeling of a wise and benevolent elder. His beard and hair were all white, and he wore a loose, white divine robe. He held his scepter tightly in his hand, and there was a hint of majesty in his love. Although his eyes were tightly shut, Archbishop Kanuo was not blind. Ever since he made the contract with the Protoss, he had never opened his eyes again. He had once told his believers that as a priest, they should not be confused by the things in front of them. They should observe the world with a pure and loving heart.
But at this moment, Kanuo suddenly opened his eyes!
His deep blue eyes flashed with wisdom as he stared at Treny!
This shocked Eleanor. The archbishop suddenly opened his eyes. Did it mean that a catastrophe was coming? Could it be that even the power of the gods could not predict everything that was about to happen, and they had to rely on the human eyes to find the answer?
Archbishop Carnot stared intently at the pale-faced Treny, and asked in a low and stern voice,""Child, did you encounter a demon?”
Trene looked at the archbishop in confusion. She felt that her consciousness was a little blurry, but it did not affect her memory at all. Archbishop Kanuo's words made her feel like she was unable to resist.
"No, I haven't." said Treany slowly and softly.
Archbishop Carnot slowly withdrew his gaze, and only then did Treney wake up from her trance.
"Child, please tell me what happened along the way in detail. This is very important.”
By the time White Crane returned to Treny's house, it was already dark. After dinner, the maid came to inform White Crane that Trene was waiting for him in the garden.
The moon was high above the willows, and the people had agreed to meet at dusk. It was really romantic! Bai He thought. If it had been someone else's invitation, the White Crane might have thought that this was a beautiful date, but Tracy was clearly not the kind of girl who understood romance. In addition, when they left the tavern, Treny's furious gaze caused the white crane to only smile bitterly at this invitation.
There was only Trene in the garden. She was wearing a fiery red robe, and under the bright moonlight, she looked like a burning flame. Even though the armored Treny was less heroic, she was more charming, and she was even more alluring in the hazy night.
Bai He couldn't help but feel a desire to conquer her.
"The moon is so beautiful tonight. I'm glad that Miss Trene invited me out to admire the moon.”The white crane walked to Treny's side as if nothing had happened. It raised its head and looked at the moon that was suffused with purple light in the sky.
"You should know why I called you here.”Treany's pretty face tensed up as she said fiercely.
"Oh? Didn't you invite me to admire the moon?" The white crane deliberately ignored Tracy's unfriendly attitude.
"I want you to apologize for what you said today!”Treney said hatefully. She hated Bai He's indifferent attitude.
"Apologize? Did I say anything rude today?”The white crane slowly shifted its gaze from the purple moon to Treny's face.
"What you said to Yu Feng is an insult to me and all women.”Treny glared fiercely at White Crane.
"Are you referring to these? Was admiration for a young lady an insult to her?”The white crane fearlessly met Treny's gaze."Or do you think that a commoner like me showing admiration to a noble lady like you is an insult to your noble status?”
For a moment, Treny was speechless. The reason she was angry was because of Bai He's arrogant tone and his attitude of treating women as accessories. It was as if she was already in his pocket. But Bai He's words were sharp, avoiding the important and dallying on the trivial, speaking as if he was a person who only recognized his family background and loved vanity.
" You, you…" Treney pointed at the white crane speechlessly. She suddenly drew her sword and pointed it at the white crane, her entire body trembling with excitement and anger.
The White Crane ignored the sword in her hand and walked towards her. Just as the tip of the sword was about to touch her chest, he suddenly pulled the sword aside and grabbed Trene's wrist, pulling her into his arms.
The two of them stuck close to each other. The unique masculine aura on White Crane's body made Treny's heart feel confused. Her originally angry eyes also became blurred, as if a thin layer of fog had risen.
White Crane felt the pressure brought by Treny's voluptuous figure, and it felt as if a ball of fire was burning in its heart.
He looked down at Treny, and the domineering Treny said,"I won't apologize for what I said today, and I don't have the habit of going back on my words. If you think this is arrogance or arrogance, I will make it happen.”
He took a step back and strode back to his room. Bai He knew that if he stayed a little longer, he might do something.
Even gods could not resist the desires in their hearts. Otherwise, there would be no slaughter in this world.
Treany stood in a daze in the night. She hated herself. Why was she unable to resist this man? Why was she unable to resist his every step of violation? Why was she not angry at his rude behavior at all...
The next day, in Laurel's manor on the outskirts, a grand ball was held to celebrate Laurel's recovery. All the young nobles and celebrities in the capital received an invitation.
Bai He was also one of the guests of honor. Because he had cured a serious injury that even the archbishop of the Imperial Capital was helpless about, he had become a household name in the Imperial Capital overnight.
Bai He was wearing a black evening gown. His tall body had an extraordinary bearing. A divine light flickered in his deep eyes, as if he had the dignity of a king. Fortunately, the careless smile on his lips made him look approachable. Otherwise, he would really be out of place at the ball.
Behind Bai He were Ye Yu and Treny. Even Bai He had never seen Ye Yu in an evening gown before. She was wearing a black low-cut evening gown, and it was particularly intriguing.
Although Ye Yu had powerful martial arts techniques, he still looked very delicate. There was no sign of his muscles, and his snow-white skin was even more eye-catching against the black evening gown. Coupled with her cold and elegant face, it was especially attractive.
Elena was wearing a white evening gown. The workmanship of this gown was exquisite. The expensive fabric and beautiful lace accentuated her holy and noble temperament. The wide dress emphasized her slender waist, and her long golden hair was like a waterfall behind her, making people dazzled. She was like a beautiful goddess standing in front of them.
The three of them immediately became the center of attention as soon as they entered. The hall suddenly fell silent. All the young nobles, regardless of gender, were amazed, and even their breathing quickened.
Laurel and Tracy were already outstanding beauties, but they were still inferior to Ye Yu and Elena.
As the host, Laurel immediately came up to greet him, but her expression when facing the white crane was somewhat unnatural. Clearly, she was still brooding over what had happened in the restaurant yesterday.
"It is my honor to introduce today's guest of honor.”Laurel led the white crane to the center of the hall and raised her voice. The surroundings immediately quieted down. Everyone's attention was focused on Bai He.
"This is young master Bai He. He was the one who cured my injuries.”
Applause rang out and the atmosphere was warm. Of course, this was only out of courtesy.
Bai He also took the opportunity to size up today's guests. In addition to the waiters, there were about 70 young people in the hall. The oldest looked no older than 30 years old, and the youngest looked only 15 or 16 years old. This included almost all the young nobles and celebrities in the Imperial Capital. In addition, there were also some civilian officials and some young masters and young ladies from the Chamber of Commerce.
"Who are these two?" Laurel asked as she looked at Elena and Ye Yu behind Bai He. These two young ladies had extraordinary bearing. From their calm expressions and elegant manners, one could tell at a glance that they came from prestigious families.
"My follower." Bai He raised his eyebrows. This sentence caused everyone to be greatly surprised, and everyone revealed a doubtful gaze.
"Follower…Follower?" Laurel looked at the white crane in disbelief. When she saw Elena nod in a friendly manner, she forced herself to believe that this was the truth.
The teenagers couldn't help but look disappointed. Although it was customary for attendants to wear evening gowns, they were not allowed to dance. They had never heard of any noble inviting other people's attendants to dance. Their duty was only to serve their master.
Laurel announced the official start of the ball. According to the usual practice, she should be dancing the first dance with the White Crane as the main guest.
Treney had already explained all the etiquette to White Crane, so White Crane now very gentlemanly placed his palm on his right chest and bowed to Laurel, making a polite invitation.
"Please allow me to invite you to a dance.”
Laurel's palm was facing down, and she placed her fair and tender little hand in front of the white crane. Bai He grabbed her hand from below.
The twelve magic crystals that lit up the hall as if it was daytime instantly dimmed.
Soft music sounded. Bai He held Laurel's hand with one hand and hugged her slender waist with the other. He danced in front of everyone's eyes. According to etiquette, when the host and guest of honor danced the first dance, everyone should politely appreciate it.
Laurel had obviously received a good education in etiquette. Her movements were graceful and skilled, and she even adjusted her footsteps according to the speed of the white crane. This was why the white crane, which was officially performing this dance for the first time, did not make a fool of itself in public.
The White Crane actually did not know how to dance. Although the Dark Demon King's memory was rich, it was not so rich that it could even understand the dance of humans. Fortunately, Elena was very familiar with human etiquette. She had taught the white crane a day of dance lessons, so he had learned some at the last minute.
Elena was definitely a strict teacher. She scolded the crane's clumsy movements mercilessly. In her heart, there was a faint fantasy that she hoped to educate the crane's evil heart through etiquette.
However, Bai He stumbled and the two of them fell to the ground, hugging each other tightly. Elena was both embarrassed and angry. She pushed away the white crane on her and ran back to her room.
Thinking of this, the corners of Bai He's mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile. Laurel immediately discovered it.
"What are you thinking about?" Laurel asked curiously.
"Oh, nothing." Only then did Bai He wake up from his memories." I just remembered what happened yesterday.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Bai He immediately regretted it. This sentence could easily cause Laurel to misunderstand.
As expected, Laurel's face immediately turned red. She glared at Bai He with slight annoyance and then lowered her head. Her shy beauty had a seductive charm.
However, the white crane immediately felt the strange gazes around it. Most of the noble youths had practiced some magic and martial arts techniques, and they were not very far away. They could naturally see Laurel's strange behavior. They couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about. They only saw Bai He say something to Laurel, and Laurel immediately lowered her head shyly. This scene naturally caused everyone to discuss. They thought that the two of them were secretly having an affair.
Laurel naturally sensed the unusual atmosphere around her and knew that it had caused everyone to misunderstand. However, there was nothing she could do. She looked at Bai He's mocking smile and buried her head even deeper.
Elena and Ye Yu were watching Bai He from their seats at the side. Elena was curious about the human ball, so she enjoyed it with great interest. Ye Yu, on the other hand, was observing the strength and magic attributes of these humans, as well as who had malicious intentions towards the white crane.
At this moment, a young man with greasy hair and pink face walked over and hit on him."Two beautiful ladies, I am the First Viscount of the Imperial Family, Radman. My father is Prince Ocard. His Majesty's younger brother."
Ye Yu didn't even bat an eyelid, while Elena nodded in a friendly manner.
Radman seemed to have received some encouragement and said excitedly,"
"A beautiful girl like you should be taken care of. How can you be the follower of a commoner? Please allow me to invite you to my residence as a guest.”As he spoke, he was about to pull Elena and Ye Yu's hands.
Elena nimbly dodged Radman's pull, feeling displeased with his recklessness. Ye Yu's killing intent exploded when Radman said the word " lowly peasant." His cold gaze swept across Radman's face.
Viscount Radman's hand had not even touched the corner of Ye Yu's clothes when he met that terrifying gaze. He felt his limbs turn cold and his legs go weak. He could not help but take a few steps back. The fear in his heart could not be quelled for a long time, and his lust had also disappeared.
"You're just a servant. I don't believe that a viscount like me can't get you into bed!”Radman thought to himself. At this moment, he finally had some perspective of the bigger picture. For the sake of his father's plan, he had to restrain himself first in order to gain the favor of Treney.
After the song ended, the young people began to look for their dance partners or chat in twos and threes.
Bai He went over to stand with Yu Feng and saw that Yu Feng was looking at him with an ambiguous gaze. As the number one young expert in the Imperial Capital, how could Laurel's expression change be hidden from him?
Bai He shrugged at him and made an innocent expression.
Trene also walked over and glared fiercely at White Crane. She saw Laurel's expression and remembered the rude words White Crane had said to her last night. She thought that White Crane had taken the opportunity to tease Laurel.
"As today's guest of honor, please pay attention to your words and actions!”Treney warned in a low voice. She was wearing a red evening gown today, which accentuated her sexy figure.
Bai He only smiled and extended a gentlemanly invitation." May I invite you to dance?”
Treney snorted heavily. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't help but reach out her hand. The poor girl had no way to refuse the White Crane's request under the effect of the master-slave contract.
This made Radman extremely angry. After being rejected by Elena and Ye Yu, he immediately went to invite Treny to dance, but she politely rejected him. He did not expect that he would accept Bai He's invitation in the blink of an eye. This made him extremely angry. Why were the two beauties willing to be White Crane's followers? Why did Treny ignore his invitation and not reject White Crane? He swore to himself that he would definitely get Elena, Ye Yu, and Treny. He would definitely kill this despicable commoner!
Gray was also burning with jealousy. Usually, a lady would be very cautious when accepting the first dance invitation. Usually, they would only accept the invitation from someone they were very close to or had a good impression of. Yet, Treny had so easily accepted the White Crane's invitation to dance. How could he not be jealous? Although he didn't believe that Treny would like this guy of unknown origins, he still couldn't suppress the jealousy in his heart since he had long treated Treny as his private property.
Suddenly, the clear voice of an attendant outside the hall rang out,"" High Priestess Erlini has arrived!"#
