Chapter 348: Chapter 344: The Petite Tavern
This deposit is kind of hot to handle!
Felling the scorching gaze, Edwin covered his neck, "I, I’m sorry, I just checked, and this Bloodsucking Scythe requires quite a lot of Source Power, I might have to save up for a very, very long time. If you mind, maybe we could... forget about it?"
"Handsome boy, I’m willing to wait however long it takes, after all, I am an eternal Vampire, you know!" Sharon became even more enthusiastic, how adorable that her prey was shivering!
Edwin swallowed hard, "Okay... this, this is the receipt, take care of it."
The moment Sharon’s fingers touched the receipt, Edwin retracted his hand as if burnt by fire and ran into the sea without looking back.
"Mu... Mu Ying... Lord, is she... is she targeting me, wanting to bite me?" Edwin stammered in a low voice.
Mu Ying nodded honestly, very thankful this brother was drawing attention away from her.
Seeing him scared out of his wits, Mu Ying comforted him by patting his shoulder, "Look on the bright side, she’s not interested in just anyone. Being targeted by her at least means you’re not bad-looking."
Her voice was of normal volume, and with Sharon’s hearing, she could clearly hear it. Moreover, Mu Ying even shouted back, "Sharon, I’m right, aren’t I?"
"Lord Sister knows me too well!" Sharon said with a playful smile.
"..." Edwin went pale, "Why, why can Vampires enter the territory?"
Mu Ying spread her hands, "I run the territory, how can I refuse guests who pay to enter? As long as there’s money, the territory will always be open to you, but there are rules to follow within the territory. Rest assured, she can’t hurt you here; fighting is prohibited in the territory. However, if you decide to leave the territory, you’ll need to be a bit more careful."
Edwin felt he wasn’t comforted at all.
Deliberate, right? Now he couldn’t even walk away if he wanted to, as his Skills were more geared towards control and assistance. His Attack Power was actually quite average.
Although he had claimed on forums that he had given up on the warrior Profession and focused on Skills he acquired during the Trials, it was because his Attributes were awful at the beginning. Aside from the warrior, he had no other choices, and even as a warrior, his Attributes were a hindrance, bottom-tier through and through.
There was no way he could defeat a level 9 Vampire Mage!
"You’re going to take care of her, right?" Edwin’s hope was all on Mu Ying now.
Mu Ying nodded, "Just wait, there’s no rush."
The tide had almost receded. Mu Ying patted Lily, "Let’s head back, see you tomorrow morning!"
Lily, sensing that Mu Ying had things to do, obediently nodded and teleported back into the sea.
"I’m preparing to go back, are you two planning to chat for a while longer?" Mu Ying said to Edwin and Sharon after seeing Lily off.
"No, no, no! I want to go too!" Edwin quickly took out a copper coin and chose to teleport decisively.
Then he was dazzled by the small territorial map that popped up before his eyes.
"Click here to go to Sky Square, I’ll take you to get an Identity Card, and then you can go find a place to stay by yourself, depending on whether you want to stay at a hotel, share with others, or buy your own house," Mu Ying reminded him.
Although he seemed to have little use for it now and was a bit timid, he was, after all, a Trialist!
"Oh, oh, okay!" Edwin immediately chose to teleport.
Mu Ying followed right after him.
After getting him his Identity Card, he suddenly stuffed a note into Mu Ying’s hand and then disappeared.
Mu Ying looked at Sharon, who had just teleported over, and understood.
She opened the note in her hand and read, "Shorty’s Tavern."
He actually knew how to apply his knowledge, was this to teleport away from Sharon?
And he didn’t choose the famous Bruce Tavern in Qingshan Town, but a nondescript little tavern at the Half-Breed Camp, which Mu Ying had never visited, only heard of by name.
Sharon was even less likely to have been there.
These past few days, Sharon had been active in the territory, and Mu Ying was well informed of her whereabouts.
All this information came from Liu Luoluo’s daily Dingling Flower phone reports, who had been trying to make amends ever since she accidentally mistook a Vampire for a good person.
Moreover, Half-Breeds did not fit Vampires’ aesthetic, humans were their favorite delicacies, all stemming from their obsession with certain things that humans possessed.
Edwin chose a tavern over an inn, probably had something he wanted to discuss with her.
I should go and check it out, though I already roughly know what’s going on in his Trial World, there are still some things I’m curious about.
"Lord Sister, he..." Sharon hadn’t finished speaking when she saw Mu Ying disappear too.
Sharon: "..."
Every day she fantasized a thousand times about biting Mu Ying to death, making her crawl at her feet!
Mu Ying appeared in the tiny tavern.
The place was quiet with just a few Half-Breeds drinking and chatting.
Mu Ying looked around, Edwin wasn’t there at all.
Mu Ying: ???
Where had he teleported to?
"Lord, what would you like to drink?" The Half-Breed bartender, eagerly welcoming a new customer, asked with great enthusiasm.
"A pot of Bomb Fruit Wine, and two cups," Mu Ying replied, recalling the profound impression the Bomb Fruits left on her when Half-Breed City first opened last year.
It was said that the tavern’s signature Bomb Fruit Wine, made entirely from sweet Bomb Fruits, tasted quite normal.
She settled in a corner spot, which was an excellent vantage point to view the entrance of the tavern.
If Edwin got lost, he should be able to find the place carefully searching on the teleportation map, Mu Ying didn’t think he would stand her up.
True to her expectations, it wasn’t many minutes before Edwin walked in.
"Ah, you’re here already! This place is so hard to find, I searched the map for a long time," Edwin said, slightly embarrassed.
"Take a seat," Mu Ying pointed to the chair across from her, "If you don’t know where the Half-Breed Tavern is, why would you choose to meet here?"
"I saw an advertisement on the forum that players were helping the tavern owner to post, and I remembered it. I heard the business here is pretty bad. I figured there wouldn’t be many people, good for talking, and Vampires wouldn’t find this place," Edwin said proudly, "Smart, huh?"
"Friend, talking bad about the business in someone else’s place isn’t smart. If it weren’t for the Lord treating you today, I might not be able to resist overcharging you," said Bine, the Half-Breed tavern owner who came over with the wine.
Bine was a genuine shorty, even among Half-Breeds he was on the shorter side, akin to a Half-Breed child, and had to tiptoe a bit to place the drinks on the table.
He wore a scowl while saying this but there was kindness in his voice.
"Pfft!" Mu Ying couldn’t help but laugh out loud; she had never seen anyone get their comeuppance so quickly, it was too funny. freёwebnoѵel.com
Caught bad-mouthing someone, Edwin’s face turned red with embarrassment.
