Chapter 130: The Taste of Asura
“How is Yuehai?” Claude asked with a hint of concern, but because he had his fiancée Xuelian by his side, he wasn’t comfortable being too overt about his concern for Yuehai.
Yuehai smiled and shook her head, thinking, “Master Claude, I can understand you coming alone, but bringing such a big Buddha statue here… How am I supposed to deal with this?”
“Claude, this is.” Xuelian had already removed her veil at this point, her exquisite and beautiful face captivating all the servants, including Yuehai, who couldn’t help but be entranced. She thought to herself, “This is the stunning beauty I’ll be going to the bathhouse with…”
Not good, just thinking about it made his nostrils start steaming.
“This is Grandpa Laogeri’s disciple, also the genius who won the championship in the Magical Girl Contest.”
“So that’s it, Miss Yuehai is really amazing.”
“Where, where.” Yuehai chuckled dryly, thinking, “Your Highness Xuelian, your expression, neither smiling nor not smiling, makes me quite nervous.” Claude couldn’t pick up on these details, and even if he did, he would act like he didn’t, as with the matter of Xuelian participating in the Magical Girl Contest. Afterwards, Ufas specifically approached him, asking him not to blurt it out and upset Xuelian.
Although Yuehai had always found Xuelian’s way of handling things a bit strange since childhood, she never expected it to become even stranger as they grew older.
“Miss Yuehai, are you feeling better now?” Xuelian asked with concern. However, the subtle expression on her face made Yuehai unable to see this as a genuine display of care. But as a good citizen, Yuehai felt it necessary to exhibit excellent manners for Princess Xuelian to observe.
“Thanks to Princess Xuelian’s blessing, it was just the aftermath of excessive daytime magic.”
“Yeah, yeah, can I ask a few questions now?” Xuelian’s sudden words made Claude feel uneasy. He was about to interrupt, but Yuehai said in a slow manner.
“Yes, you can.”
Xuelian didn’t expect Yuehai to agree so readily. Her expression showed clear surprise before she reverted to her usual inscrutable smile and continued.
“Well then, I’ll ask Miss Yuehai, what is your relationship with Brother Claude?”
Thump, thump, Claude’s heart skipped a beat. Despite being calm in battle, Xuelian’s words made him feel like fleeing immediately.
Ufas, standing aside with an expressionless face, glanced at Claude with compassion, shaking his head slightly.
At this moment, as soon as Yuehai heard Xuelian’s words, her eyes blinked a few times, and without thinking, she said, “This young master Claude is indeed a young master. As for me, I am Master Laogeri’s apprentice. If I have to describe our relationship, maybe in the past, he was my lifesaver, but now, perhaps we are more like partners or comrades, right, Young Master Claude!”
“Ah, um…” What’s going on? Yuehai raised an eyebrow. Why was Claude looking at her with such a constipated expression? Did she say something wrong?
Just as she was thinking this, Xuelian asked again, “Oh, so have you been with Claude every night recently?” This question startled Claude. What did she mean by being together every night? There were too many implications in that statement, and even someone as chaste as Claude couldn’t help but entertain inappropriate thoughts.
Ufas, once again, looked at Claude with a gaze full of compassion.
Yuehai never thought that Xuelian was trying to catch them in the act. She only remembered that recently, due to the Magical Girl Competition, she and Claude had been practicing together every day, sometimes even until late at night. She thought that while praising Claude at this moment, she could also leave a good impression on her fiancé.
“Yeah, I can’t say every night, after all, I wouldn’t be able to handle it. But Young Master Claude is truly amazing. His robust physique, mesmerizing muscles, make practicing with him every night very comfortable. Every time, it’s me who falls first, while Claude always seems eager to continue practicing alone for a long time.”
Upon hearing these words, Ufas was the first to react. He cast a meaningful glance at Claude, who, however, appeared as if he had lost a loved one, his expression showing deep anguish.
Indeed, every word Yuehai spoke was true, but it seemed a bit too insinuating. A clever person would likely be led into another line of thought in an instant.
At this moment, Xuelian trembled all over, her fist clenched tightly.
Yuehai’s back chilled. She had been wondering why this troublemaker was getting upset again, but the next moment, Xuelian suddenly smiled faintly and said, “It’s getting late today. We won’t disturb Miss Yuehai anymore.”
“Ah… okay.”
“Yeah, see you tomorrow.”
“Goodbye, Princess Xuelian.”
“…,” The sudden ending left Claude stunned. Xuelian turned to the other person and said, “Would you accompany me to stroll around the Duke’s Mansion? I heard there’s a trading street here. I’d like to take a look.”
“Okay, okay.” Nothing happening was indeed the best scenario. Claude nodded slightly at Yuehai and then followed Xuelian out of the gate. Ufas, who followed closely behind, cast a cold glance at Yuehai.
Yuehai wondered if this warrior named Ufas had a special fondness for glaring at people before leaving. While it did seem cool, it felt a bit silly to always be the one receiving the glare.
Regardless! Since everyone had left, her main focus now was to rest. Although there were still things to be arranged on the side of Tyr, taking a break would provide some mental relief.
