Chapter 257 Dai Yun'er: Get on the bus first, pay the fare later
Outside, at the front desk of the Star Theatre.
Feeling that she had helped bring about a beautiful marriage, the receptionist was humming an off-key tune, thinking about where she would buy herself a sweet milk tea to reward herself after she finished her work.
Before her smile could last long, a black-haired woman exuding a strange aura silently appeared at the front desk.
The girl shivered, the chill instantly extinguishing her relaxed mood and forcing a stiff smile.
"I'm so sorry, sir, all the tickets for tonight's show are sold out. If you'd like to see the show, you'll have to book tickets for tomorrow night in advance."
The black-haired woman simply smiled slightly and said in a strange tone:
"Look me in the eyes."
The receptionist subconsciously looked up and felt that the other person's dark eyes were like a pair of bottomless whirlpools.
The light in her eyes vanished in an instant, leaving them empty and lifeless, like a soulless doll.
The black-haired woman snapped her fingers crisply, nodded in satisfaction, and commanded in a calm tone:
"Very good. Next, bring the other managers of the theater before me, one by one..."
Just as she was about to turn around, an unexpected scene flashed through the girl's recent memories.
A cold smile crept across the black-haired woman's lips.
She pulled out a specially made communication device from her bosom, quickly typed and sent a message on the screen.
In a secret underground chamber hundreds of miles away from Xingluo City.
The crimson light, like a viscous liquid, filled every inch of the sealed room, and the air was filled with a nauseatingly thick stench of blood.
Dark Blood Eyes sat cross-legged in the center of the light, his tightly closed eyes suddenly snapping open.
Those eerie, blood-red eyes were now filled with barely concealed, intense pain.
"Damn it! Why is this Blood Sea Soul Refining so painful?"
She let out a suppressed roar, her voice unusually sharp: "Even the purest virgin blood can no longer suppress this backlash."
How could so-called pure yang blood possibly exist in this world? After all, those filthy men's blood is utterly tainted!
She forcibly gathered the scattered blood light back into her body, and the surging red light around her gradually subsided.
Dark Blood Eyes then took out the vibrating communication soul tool on her body. After she saw the message on the screen, her figure flashed on the spot, turned into a streak of blood light, and disappeared into the secret room.
"It's truly a case of choosing the path to hell over the path to heaven. Once I complete the task assigned by the sect leader, perhaps I can finally escape the torment of being refined in the sea of blood."
……
Inside the private room, Dai Yun'er stared blankly at Huo Yuhao, who had already drunk his tenth beverage.
The other person remained calm and composed, showing no signs of the flushed face and dazed eyes that I had anticipated.
Dai Yun'er, who was about to hand over the eleventh drink in her hand, also froze.
How is that possible?
After drinking ten cups of this special beverage, she herself would probably be burping by now, but the other person was still sitting there as if nothing had happened.
Moreover, according to Sister Zhu Ying, this special product has extremely strong medicinal effects. Even a Soul Douluo of her level would start to feel dizzy and disoriented after drinking three cups.
Could it be that the special product is expired?
"Alright, Yun'er, I've already drunk ten cups, shouldn't that be enough?"
Huo Yuhao finally couldn't help but speak, his tone tinged with helplessness, "From now on, just watch the play obediently and stop fooling around. The opening remarks have already passed."
Putting aside the extra ingredients in this drink, it tastes quite good, with a rich fruity aroma and a sweet and sour flavor.
But as delicious as it may be, anyone who gulps down ten cups in one go will feel a bit nauseous and bloated.
Dai Yun'er looked at the boy in front of her with some suspicion, and then asked as if possessed:
"Lingbing, don't you feel at all like you're floating on clouds?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a playful smile, and he retorted, "Could it be that Yun'er, you secretly put something special in your drink?"
"No, no, how could that be! Do I look like the kind of shameless woman?"
Dai Yun'er, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, hurriedly waved her hands vigorously, but her eyes couldn't help but wander.
"I've only heard that the special drinks at the Starry Sky Theater are like...like a special kind of fungus that grows in the southern part of our empire, and can bring people a very unique experience."
He chuckled a few more times, as if desperately trying to justify his lame excuse.
"However, rumors are still just rumors, and it seems they were just false. Phew... I can rest assured then!"
As if to prove her point, she raised the eleventh drink she had prepared for Huo Yuhao and gulped it down in one go.
After such a long time, Dai Yun'er herself was getting a little thirsty.
Perhaps Sister Zhu Ying didn't put the special item in the drink at all, but hid it in the big bucket of popcorn next to it.
Huo Yuhao was taken aback by her bold actions.
He was quite certain that, judging from Dai Yun'er's previous attempts to persuade him, she clearly knew there was something extra in the drink.
So why is she drinking it herself now?
What does this mean?
Dai Yun'er casually placed the empty cup on the coffee table beside her, squinted her eyes slightly with satisfaction, and let out a small burp.
"To be honest, this drink really tastes pretty good..."
She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, blinked her azure eyes in confusion, and looked back and forth across Huo Yuhao's face.
"Um... Lingbing, how come you're two different people now? Am I hallucinating?"
Dai Yun'er's voice was somewhat naive and indistinct, and she spoke in fits and starts. Her fair face flushed a deep, intoxicating red at a visible speed.
"Yun'er, isn't there an antidote for what you drank?"
Huo Yuhao looked at her, who could barely sit up and was swaying unsteadily, and helplessly rubbed his temples.
He finally realized that Dai Yun'er was a complete simpleton, roughly on par with Wu Feng in terms of intelligence.
Huo Yuhao even felt that if the two of them had the chance to meet in the future, they would definitely have a lot in common.
"Medicine? What medicine..."
Dai Yun'er instinctively retorted defiantly, but her eyes began to wander, completely unable to focus.
"I...I didn't drug you. Don't try to slander me out of thin air."
But she also realized that something was wrong with her current state; it felt like there was a fire burning inside her, making her restless and uneasy.
"It's just a bit hot in this room right now, yes, too hot. I'll just take off a few clothes."
As she spoke, her unruly little hands reached for the tie at the neckline of her dress, as if she really intended to take off the white dress.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
Do I need to take off a few more pieces of clothing?
Judging from Dai Yun'er's current outfit, she probably wears no more than five pieces of clothing from head to toe.
If this dress were taken off, her most intimate clothing would probably be directly visible.
In the blink of an eye, Huo Yuhao couldn't care less about anything else.
He immediately reached out and grabbed Dai Yun'er's mischievous little hand, stopping her from her dangerous act of actually stripping him naked.
"Eh, Lingbing..."
The cool touch from her small hands made Dai Yun'er, whose body temperature was rising rapidly, feel like she had found a lifeline.
Instead of struggling, she let out a soft, comfortable moan.
"Your hands are so cold, it feels so good..."
As if she had discovered a perfect way to cool down, Dai Yun'er twisted her body and sat directly on Huo Yuhao's lap, pressing her entire body tightly against him.
She pressed her flushed face against Huo Yuhao's chest, rubbing it contentedly, making a sound as delightful as taking the first bite of chilled watermelon on a hot summer day.
"Mmm...it's really cool and refreshing, I feel like I'm coming back to life."
Seeing Dai Yun'er completely transformed into an octopus, clinging to him with both hands and feet, Huo Yuhao could only helplessly let her hold him.
Time ticked by as the screen flickered with light and shadow. The room was so quiet that only the dialogue of the characters in the film could be heard, along with the warm breathing of the young girl.
After an unknown amount of time, Huo Yuhao's body suddenly stiffened slightly.
He lowered his head and met Dai Yun'er's eyes, which had opened at some point, while her hand was restlessly groping his abdomen.
Facing Huo Yuhao's gaze, Dai Yun'er not only did not restrain herself, but instead responded with an extremely bright smile.
"Hehe, you really do have six-pack abs. And you smell really good."
Although this wasn't the first time she had been so close to Huo Yuhao, the last time was during a tense escape. How could she sit so peacefully and savor his unique scent like this?
"Now that you're awake, you should come down quickly. This isn't a good situation for us."
Huo Yuhao spoke calmly.
He felt he was getting used to Dai Yun'er's tendency to grope and touch him from time to time.
Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er playfully stuck out her little tongue. Instead of going down, she tightened her body even more.
He took another deep breath of Huo Yuhao's scent before speaking in a heavily nasal voice.
"Lingbing, do you know? Before I left, my fourth brother specifically told me to be reserved when I went on a date with you and to maintain some royal dignity."
The girl's voice carried a unique stubbornness.
"But what business is it of his? I'm happy to stick to you and lick your boots like a little puppy!"
Dai Yun'er slightly raised herself up, creating a little distance between herself and the crowd.
Her azure eyes glistened with tears as she stared directly into Huo Yuhao's blue-gold eyes, which were still trying to remain calm.
"Do you think I'm shameless, that I have no sense of propriety whatsoever as a girl? But that's how I am with the people I like."
I will only pursue the person I've chosen, even if the person I like doesn't like me back right now, it doesn't matter.
Dai Yun'er knew very well that with Huo Yuhao's talent and ability, there would definitely be more than just one or two girls who liked him.
For her, this might be the only chance she'll ever have in her life.
Since things have already been messed up and the plan is completely ruined, we might as well go all in and go all in!
Cook the raw rice into cooked rice first, and then pay for the rest of the train tickets later.
Huo Yuhao felt an increasing headache, especially when he saw the bright, almost scorching light in the other person's eyes. He was all too familiar with that look.
If I'm not careful, I might really be taken advantage of today.
"Yun'er..."
He sighed, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "I just happened to save you once, it's nothing. You still have a long life ahead of you, and you don't really understand me, do you?"
As the situation spiraled out of control, Huo Yuhao could only do his utmost to salvage the situation and try to prevent it from spiraling into an irreversible abyss.
"But you have to give me a chance to get to know you, don't you?"
Dai Yun'er couldn't help but retort, her voice clearly choked with emotion:
"Even though you look beautiful when you're so cold, can't you smile at me more? Not that fake smile to please others, but a genuine smile from the heart."
"We're not that far apart in age, so why do you always look so gloomy? Is there something important but difficult to accomplish that you're carrying on your mind?"
At this point, Dai Yun'er sniffed and puffed out her chest, as if trying to persuade Huo Yuhao.
"Tell me, I am the princess of the Star Luo Empire. There is nothing I, Dai Yun'er, cannot do on this land. I can definitely help you."
Hearing this seemingly domineering but actually extremely humble statement, Huo Yuhao's body stiffened for a moment.
In his spiritual sea, Sister Tianmeng sighed softly, "Alas, Xiao Yuhao, you are truly a sinful man."
Dai Yun'er seemed to be trying to prove that what she said was true, or perhaps to embolden herself, in order to carry out the thing she had already decided to do next.
She suddenly turned around, grabbed a new drink from the coffee table, tilted her head back, and gulped it down into her mouth.
"Yun'er, please stop drinking."
Huo Yuhao was startled upon seeing this, "You've only just regained some consciousness, and the effects of that medicine are too much."
He instinctively reached out and tried to take the cup from her hand.
