It is not that Luo Binhan has never attended formal banquets, but the cost of "dressing up nicely" is far greater than he imagined. In the process, he almost broke off with Joel Fa Mann, because the latter actually wanted to take the men's dress as soon as he went up.
"This one suits me better," she said naturally.
Luo Binhan asked angrily: "Then do you think the other one is suitable for me?"
Joel Fineman looked at him, then at the flashy fishtail dress, and finally had to reluctantly give up the men's clothing. She said that the shape of the dress was not conducive to her actions and requested that the hem be cut at least once.
∈ asked Yaleriga for instructions, and quickly replied: "That will affect the appearance."
"Aesthetics don't matter," Joel Farman said.
"The captain doesn't think so. She said that if you are going to meet that vampire, just dress up nicely, because you don't need to use force to fight anyway."
"She promises?"
“She is a woman,” ∈ puts it euphemistically, “a woman’s woman.”
Luo Binhan immediately put his hands on his hips and arrogantly asked Ya Laili to write a letter. ∈ Go to convey his opinions to him, and when he comes back, he hands Luo Binhan a note. Luo Binhan opened it and saw a bed drawn inside.
"What does this mean?"
"She said if you waste any more time, she will teach you why there will be no armed conflict."
Luo Binhan decided on the spot that without further delay, the abducted widow must be rescued immediately. He put on his cumbersome clothes, climbed into the aircraft with Joel Farman, and flew to a public port near Sugar Land. Based on the parking number provided by Marin, they quickly found Uona's temporary residence.
It was a white island-shaped spaceship twice the size of Silence, with a black and red trademark painted on its surface. It looked like a smiling woman's face with red lips, and a deformed and withered creature holding a dagger. hand. The owner of the spacecraft is written in red letters at the bottom of the icon: Zhuangyuan Entertainment.
Joel Fineman told Luo Binhan that this was the name of the developer of Star Wars, and the trademark looked exactly the same, and it was not some kind of knock-off product that skirted the rules. Luo Binhan couldn't help but feel complicated when he thought that this might be a game company hiding a nest of vampires. He also thought about the name "Zhuangyuan" carefully, and always felt that it was like some kind of monster version of "shooting list", which was both arrogant and full of bad taste.
When they walked into the "Zhuangyuan Entertainment", the decoration they saw further deepened Luo Binhan's feeling. The ship shape of Silence is simple and comfortable, but sometimes it still reveals a slight spookiness, and the "Zhuangyuan Entertainment" simply stepped on his face and danced a skeleton dance. Its entire passage is painted with a dark background, and the lighting system is made in the style of silver frames and white candles. The walls are painted in an exaggerated comic style with all kinds of monsters, either with angry eyes or bared teeth. Looking at them with a sly smile.
Luo Binhan had some preconceptions and was particularly sensitive to these strange paintings, always feeling that there was some kind of malice hidden in them. Joel Fineman was much more accepting of the decor. She comforted Luo Binhan and said that the monsters painted on the wall were all famous card characters, and they were all rare hero cards with more than fifteen points.
Luo Binhan asked dissatisfiedly: "Is this the face of a rare card? What do artists do for a living? Can you respect the audience's aesthetics?"
"They're all very strong," Joel Farman said.
Luo Binhan was ready to criticize her hopeless strength party mentality, but the person to greet them had already appeared. A young man who looked to be only 17 or 18 years old walked through the corridor, wearing velvet pants and a puff-sleeved shirt. At first glance, he looked very classically dressed, but he was wearing a pair of brown and black armadillo shoes with extremely high heels. . His golden hair was fluffy and curly, as messy as a chicken coop, and Luo Binhan almost didn't recognize his gender.
He walked up to the two of them, bowed and saluted them, and said in a clear teenage voice: "Ms. Benlup, please go to the guest room."
Luo Binhan guessed that he was referring to Wu Aona. He and Joel Fineman looked at each other and followed the high-heeled boy toward the depths of the passage. During this period, Luo Binhan couldn't help but stare at the feet of the greeter, trying to figure out how he could walk freely under the constraints of such a pair of devilish shoes, but the other person seemed to have been born with shoes on his feet, and he could walk as fast as flying. effortless. They walked through the corridor filled with all kinds of monsters, and encountered a few translucent ghost figures screaming at them (the high-heeled boy claimed that they were breathing images used to create atmosphere), and came to the so-called guest room.
It was a bright and brilliant room, like a glass greenhouse. There is an extremely realistic mountain scenery outside the wall. The embedded flower beds beside the wall are filled with roses, cinnamon, fennel, crocus, and various plants that Luo Binhan cannot recognize at all.
Uona, wearing an emerald green spiral skirt, was sitting next to a white rose bush, gently shaking the gold hanging basket on the flower with her hand. The basket was lined with soft crimson cloth. When Luo Binhan came closer, he saw Fina sleeping quietly in the basket. Not only did it appear to be unscathed, it even turned its body sideways in a comfortable manner, exposing its soft, scaly belly to Uona. Luo Binhan immediately gritted his teeth.
Uona looked at them with a smile. "Welcome," she said, "I like how you are dressed. You are almost unrecognizable. Is this cute girl yours? I happened to meet her and fed her some food without permission. I hope you don't mind."
Of course Luo Binhan didn't believe in coincidence, but he couldn't explain it clearly. He had no choice but to thank Uona for taking care of his pet, and suggested that he take the troublemaker back and teach him a lesson.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Wuona said, "It's a pity that Marin didn't come with you two. I really hope to hear his views on our plan again. He is really a very insightful and interesting person. I must ask you two to convey my invitation to him again."
What she said was so sincere that Luo Binhan couldn't help but feel a little confused. He couldn't help but ask: "Do you really want to hire him to help you make games?"
"Otherwise?" Uona asked, blinking.
Her smile was full of meaning, and she fully understood what Luo Binhan meant. But Luo Binhan couldn't be too rude. Just when he was hesitant, Wu Aona burst into loud laughter.
"Okay, okay." She said, "I'm sorry that I made some rude little jokes. This is my discourtesy, Mr. Zhou Yu..."
"Zhou Yu?" Joel Farman asked doubtfully.
Luo Binhan coughed awkwardly. Wuona continued as if she hadn't heard: "As the business leader of Star Wars, I sincerely assure you that I have no malicious intentions. I admire Marin very much because he is a talented person, and I believe that you, as his Friends can also understand what I mean. As for you and me..."
She paused and glanced at Luo Binhan's neck ambiguously.
"We had a little misunderstanding," she said.
"Misunderstanding?" Luo Binhan asked angrily.
Uona smiled and pushed the golden basket. Her green satin spiral skirt was decorated with layers of snow fluff and peacock tail feathers, as if countless eyes were staring at her, which made Luo Binhan's heart tremble. She quickly softened her voice and said: "I was just going to explain, Mr. Zhou Yu. Some unpleasant things happened between us. It was completely due to a misunderstanding. That's why I insisted on inviting you to sit here." Sit down. Please sit down now, both of you. Mr. Dadatuba’s party was quite interesting earlier, but in fact, I think my place is pretty good too.”
She invited the two of them to sit down at the small table by the flower bed, and then asked the boy with high heels to bring a bottle of amber wine. and three small silver plates. Each plate contains a blood-red rose rolled out of raw meat slices, which is more exquisite than the real thing.
The bottle of wine had a strong aroma that kept changing over time. Uona claimed that it was made from a mixture of various nectars. The carpaccio is derived from the finest short-legged black lamb, which is the most famous delicacy in her hometown. She introduced these two things as extremely delicious, but Luo Binhan still resisted. He seriously doubted whether the "lamb" in Wuona's words was consistent with his understanding, so he did not touch the raw flesh rose and only barely drank a few sips of the amber honey wine.
Uona tried to persuade him again and again, but in the end she failed to move him. That seemed to make her change her strategy, starting with her business plan and talking about her hometown that had been turned upside down by the star shock: it used to be filled with farmland, wilderness, swamps and mountains, with monsters and evil spirits running rampant, but now it has completely transformed. It has become the world of electronic products. Most humans have begun to mechanize their bodies, leaving traditional monsters with nowhere to go. When she said this, she didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, she giggled as if she found it funny.
"They are about the same as you, Jojo," she said to Joel Farman, "but the technical level there is a little lower, and there are always internal fights. When I left there on a business trip, I heard that there was a riot in the slums. It started a riot and I’m curious what I’ll see when I go back.”
"The just cause will surely prevail." Joel Fineman replied solemnly but incoherently. She completely ignored Luo Binhan's crazy look and had already finished eating the raw rose. Uona praised her appetite and chatted with her for another twenty minutes before the little banquet finally came to an end. She did not force him to eat the raw meat on the plate as Luo Binhan feared. Instead, she readily took off the golden basket and handed it to Luo Binhan along with Fina.
"She is a lovely girl, Mr. Zhou Yu." Wuona said, "I really wish I could have one too. Please take this little basket with me, because I think she likes it very much, so consider it as my gift." Her gift."
Luo Binhan said a few polite words, not wanting to get into more trouble on this matter. He took the golden basket at Uona's insistence and felt grateful that he could finally leave. But then he heard Wuona say: "I still have a few words that I want to talk to you alone. Do you mind giving me a few minutes?"
She obviously meant to drive away Joel Farman, so Luo Binhan wanted to refuse without thinking. He was about to say it when he saw Uona staring at him with emerald green eyes. There was an almost provocative and playful look in his eyes, which made Luo Binhan feel a secret fire in his heart for no apparent reason. He calmly pressed the scimitar under his coat and nodded in agreement.
Joel Farman went to wait for him outside. The moment she walked out of the room, Luo Binhan was immediately ready to throw Fina in the face of the woman opposite, pierce her heart with a machete, and recite a spell to ignite the fire. But this time Wuona didn't try to get closer. Instead, she took two steps back and walked to another bouquet of red roses. When she looked back again, the smile was gone and she looked calm and solemn.
"I apologize to you, Mr. Zhou Yu." She said, "You must still mind what happened to us before, but as I just said, it was caused by a small misunderstanding. When I first met you , the smell on your body made me think of you as another person - just three days ago, one of my descendants was murdered and dismembered, and the one who just guided you through the door was her brother who looked similar to her. Please forgive me for my rudeness, as I have no intention of offending that gentleman. Now I am completely convinced of your innocence, and as an apology for this accident, I will offer you some thoughts later."
Wuona's words completely shocked Luo Binhan. He fell into confusion and asked a little sluggishly: "How do you know it wasn't me?"
"Wine and meat, sir." Suona said with a smile, "You drank the wine of animal oil and thought it was sweet, but you were frightened half to death by a plate of ordinary mutton. Please forgive me for this little trick, But I've never seen a predator with such a poor sense of smell."
Luo Binhan stared blankly at her and smiled. But Wuona didn't do anything to him anymore. Instead, she called the high-heeled boy and sent him out with Joel Farman. Until Luo Binhan returned to the Silence with the golden basket, he still didn't come back to his senses. After hearing about this, Marin ran to him and studied the golden basket with interest for a long time.
"So what do you say?" Marin asked, "Do you think she can be trusted now?"
Luo Binhan shook his head indescribably, but he didn't mean it completely. Marin shrugged and said, "I'm curious about who killed her heir. He must be a powerful character."
"What does this have to do with us?"
"This is related to my future, man. Wuona is quite charming, and their business is also very attractive, but I don't intend to join a company that is targeted by a perverted murderer."
"Then why don't you take a look at where you are now?" Luo Binhan said, "Have we seen enough of the murderers?"
His unintentional words unexpectedly had a long-term impact on Marin. For the next three days, Luo Binhan always saw Ma Lin sitting alone in the bridge room, thinking. Luo Binhan finally realized that this guy was not joking, he was really considering Wuona's career invitation, and if he finally decided to accept it, it would mean that the Silence would lose another passenger.
Luo Binhan didn't want to hinder his future development, but he couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart, and Jing Huang still showed no sign of waking up. The result of this incident was that he couldn't help but harass Yalayliga repeatedly, until Yalayliga, who was annoyed by him, wrote him an address and asked him to go to Sugar Land to calm down.
"What kind of place is this?" Luo Binhan asked, holding the note.
"The store." Yaleriga replied. She then used her tail to sweep Luo Binhan out of her bathroom.
This is the second time Luo Binhan has heard the word "rendian". Out of emptiness and curiosity, he took Fina to explore and found his destination at the bottom of a rock candy tower.
Human Shop - Contrary to its name, it is one of the few entertainment venues for cats in Sugar Land. Although admission is free for most guests who meet certain criteria, any creatures with fur allergies or slimy bodies are strictly prohibited from entering, as cats will not follow any service guidelines in the store. In the shop, they just satisfy their desires, that is, they run to any free person, eat, drink and have fun while enjoying free massage services. The traditional rules of Sugar Land allow them to still call each other guests, but in fact they will not obey any requests at all. If they are not fully petted, they will not hesitate to run to another better target.
This black industry exists widely in sugar towns everywhere because of its objective necessity, and it is even more famous on the Upside Down Planet. Luo Binhan only tried it once, and soon became uncontrollably addicted. He spent the whole day in the shop, and was particularly fond of a small tabby female cat. I still wanted to go the next day, and the same on the third day.
Until the early morning of the fourth day, Luo Binhan still slipped there to kill time. He was not completely obsessed with the belly of the female cat. He was still reading a book in the store called The Knight with a cat as the protagonist, and he was at the stage where he couldn't stop reading. He took advantage of the fact that the store was deserted and took a seat early, but the little tabby female cat didn't show up. Luo Binhan then remembered that the young catman seemed to be going to school.
The bartender in the store is a slightly fat orange cat man. As usual, it brought mint candies and liqueur to Luo Binhan, as well as a small plate of milk-flavored biscuits. Luo Binhan scratched its chin and talked to it about what he was reading.
He knew that the little female cat would probably not come today, but his heart was still comfortable and peaceful, enjoying the ordinary regrets and peace in life. But just then the store door opened. He and the bartender Catman looked over at the same time, and saw nothing at first glance.
An unusually petite black cat walked in from the door. Its body is close to that of a puppy, its tail is slightly hooked, and it always walks on four legs. In this cold and peaceful morning, it walked into the store as if there was no one around, jumped on Luo Binhan's table, and squatted face to face with him.
The black cat's eyes are sharp and bright, and it holds a green leaf in its mouth. It spat the leaves on the table and said in a deep voice: "Have a glass of strong wine."
The bartender, Cat Man, and Luo Binhan stared at it together. Not to mention Luo Binhan, the bartender also swung his tail blankly, as if he had never seen such a small species of his kind.
The black cat tapped its tail on the table impatiently.
"Wine, please," it said, "I want the strongest drink, and the biggest glass. This man and I have a lot to talk about."
The bartender Catman walked away slowly, his ears still perked up. The black cat sat proudly on the table and pushed the leaf in the direction of Luo Binhan with its front paws.
"Give this thing to that boy." It said in a strong and calm male voice. "It will make him wake up early so that you can settle down."
Luo Binhan mechanically took the leaf, put it into his pocket, and continued to stare at it.
"Are you a dragon or a bug?" he asked calmly.
"Don't ask stupid questions." Black Cat said, "I am a cat. I have been observing you these past few days to see what you are going to do. But now it seems that if I don't intervene, you are going to die. On the belly of a female cat – a really impressive feat.”
It snorted contemptuously and tiptoed back and forth on the table. When Luo Binhan tried to lean over to determine whether it was male or female, the black cat unceremoniously scratched his face with its claws.
"Sit down," it demanded majestically. "You're in big trouble. I'm planning on putting you to some use."
Luo Binhan covered his face and inhaled. He stared at the huge cat and asked, "Who are you?"
"You can call me Young Master." The black cat said solemnly, "This is the name given by Will. If you don't like it, just call me cat - to be honest, I don't care about you pansapiens. Not interested in the way of address.”
Luo Binhan paused while rubbing his face. He heard the name "Will," and of all the names he knew, only one seemed to fit it.
Black Cat ignored his look. It squatted down in the middle of the table again, looking at him from above like a mouse.
"I'm going to tell you something." it said. "If you want to know the future, you must first understand the past. Everything you have encountered so far is just a small aftershock. Before the real trouble comes, I have to let you Proper preparation. That means I have to start from scratch."
Luo Binhan looked at it blankly, half understanding what it said.
"What's a head?" he asked.
"Will." Black Cat said, "Everything started because of him. But that is too far away for you. You have to know another person first."
"who?"
"That boy's father."
