Chapter 147: Don't be too inflated, little girl
After reading the retrospective, Ariel fell into silence. She was pale and sensible and did not disturb her, allowing her to slowly digest the facts.
After a while, the girl sighed quietly. It could be seen that her mood was very low, and even her red fire eyes seemed a little dull.
"Is that so? Is this what Lucy really thinks in her heart? It turns out that she has always been jealous of me. I thought she really regarded me as a friend. In the final analysis, I am just being sentimental."
Looking at the self-deprecating and bitter smile on her face, Bai Bai sighed slightly. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, so he could only give some stiff comfort.
"Don't feel bad..."
"I'm fine."
Ariel just shook her head and forced a smile.
"Actually, I can probably understand it. After all, it's inevitable that she will feel resentful if she is constantly being overshadowed by others. This is her own decision, and I have nothing to say."
Bai Bai pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Actually, she was just blinded by jealousy. She also knew your identity clearly, but she didn't reveal your identity. Maybe she still has some guilt and feelings for you in her heart."
The girl who heard this looked at him a little strangely and said in disbelief.
"Isn't this like your style? I thought you would only speculate on others with the greatest malice, but I didn't expect that you would help her find excuses."
These words made him roll his eyes, flicked the girl's smooth forehead with his finger and said.
"It's not like I'm trying to excuse her. I just want you not to be so sad."
"Humph! You really still care about me."
After hearing his words, the girl's lips slightly lifted, and her mood seemed to improve a lot.
"But no matter what, since she has done this, she has truly abandoned my trust. I said it has nothing to do with me, and it really has nothing to do with me anymore."
Bai Bai had no objection to this. It was a joke that friends who were already like this would forcefully maintain friendship. He nodded and said.
"Just look away and follow your own decision."
Ariel stuck out her tongue cutely, it was rare to see such a girlish and naive look on her body.
"Of course, I'm still very rational."
These words reminded him of the time when a girl was a nymphomaniac and fighting, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes and complaining.
"Do you have any illusions? Are you sure you have reason?"
The girl retorted with some dissatisfaction.
"Is this just good for you? I gave you all my impulses and sensibility. Do you think I would do this to others?"
Wanwan smiled and shook his head, but did not answer the question. He saw the entrance to the small courtyard that was already close at hand and said.
"Okay, we're already here. It's so late and you should go back and rest early."
"Is that guy Xiaobai already asleep at this point?"
After entering the door, the girl did not see the black dragon Xiaobai who stayed behind. However, with her keen senses, she could hear the faint snoring coming from his room, and she whispered with a smile.
"This guy is really... I don't know, how could he think this is a dragon? He's more like a pig..."
"It's just that the habits of species are different. There's nothing strange about it."
After going to Dragon Island, I was already used to being pale. After saying that, I wanted to go back to the room to rest, but she suddenly made a move and grabbed a piece of my clothes.
His face suddenly turned dark.
"What are you doing? If you don't want to sleep, I still have to sleep."
"I'm just curious about a question. How can you see Lucy's voice and thoughts? Is this something that spiritual magic can do?"
Ariel is indeed a little curious about this. Reading memories can be done using mental or soul magic. However, the consequences will be more serious, with certain side effects and harm.
How can anyone like Wanwan be able to directly and silently see a person's real-time thoughts?
"Um……"
This question seemed to make Wanwan hesitate a little, and he pondered for a moment before explaining ambiguously.
"This can be regarded as my own innate ability, not the effect of magic."
"Then can you often see directly through a person's thoughts?"
The girl then asked, with a look of confusion on her face.
"Absolutely. I can basically see everything I want. But it's only a superficial active consciousness. If you want to detect the more important deep memories, you need to spend some effort."
Bai Bai explained calmly, but found that the girl's face looked a little strange, and then added.
"I generally don't look at other people's thoughts when it's not necessary. I'm not a pervert who likes to voyeur."
Even though he explained it this way, the girl couldn't help but have some wild thoughts in her heart. She thought about the fantasies about paleness that she sometimes had in her mind, such as sexual intercourse and so on... Her delicate and pretty face couldn't help but feel a little hot, this was too social.
Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but widen her red eyes and stared at him fiercely. Sensing her thoughts, the corners of her pale mouth twitched, and she pretended to be serious while holding back a smile.
"Don't worry, I haven't seen any of your weird ideas."
These words were quite self-inflicted, and as expected, the girl immediately went crazy. She covered her face in shame and fled back to the room.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, the corners of his pale mouth slightly curved, and he raised his hand against the dim moonlight in the small courtyard. He recalled the question Ariel asked him just now, and carefully examined the palm prints on his hand.
But in the end, he just sighed softly and murmured something that no one could understand.
"Still can't see anything..."
…
The next morning.
"Hey, will you still get up so early? Or have you been up all night?"
Ariel looked at Bai Wan who got up early with some surprise and said, usually she, the one responsible for making breakfast, is the first to get up.
"Didn't you have a breakup with Lucy? So we will probably leave the Terry family today, so naturally we have to get up early."
Wanwan had just walked out of the room at this time, combing his long black hair. His long life in the world made him not very accustomed to having long hair, but in this world, he just followed the Romans.
"Bearer? What breakfast? Where is the breakfast!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Black Dragon Xiaobai, who was sleeping in another room, burst out of the door in an instant. He was still a little confused after just waking up, and before he even opened his eyes, he was twitching his nose in an attempt to locate his location.
"..."×2
Under the pale physical awakening method, a certain stupid dragon who was still a little confused suddenly woke up. After a harmonious breakfast, the group set out on the road to leave.
On the way to leave Terry's castle, the girl who was holding a notebook in the carriage suddenly seemed to remember something, and a voice sounded in her pale heart.
"There should be trouble on our way, right?"
Bai Wan raised his eyes and glanced at her, with a smile on his lips but said nothing.
"I still didn't calm down completely yesterday, so I didn't think deeply about it. When I woke up today, I thought about it: Harold's decision to marry Lucy was obviously discussed with the Terry family earlier."
"Although I don't know the reason behind this, the marriage to Lucy should be a signal of his alliance with the Terry family. Harold's move just happened to step on the bottom line of the royal family."
The girl frowned and analyzed to herself. She recalled the temptation when she met Harold the night before, but now she could connect it with her guess.
"His harsh probing of me before probably meant that I was from the royal family? After all, it was just before the coming-of-age ceremony, and I'm afraid it was a sensitive period."
"What I did during the coming-of-age ceremony before will probably be considered by the Terry family as disrupting the situation. I'm afraid that I have become a thorn in their side now, and it will be difficult for us to have peace on this road."
It has to be said that the girl's insight was quite good after she calmed down. Being born into a noble family, she could easily guess the profit transaction behind Lucy's coming-of-age ceremony.
After silently listening to her analysis, Bai Bai showed a happy smile and also answered in his heart.
"It's good that you noticed it. When I was dancing with you before, Harold and Duke Terry were actually watching us upstairs. I'm afraid they have already planned to send someone to hunt us down."
Ariel's expression froze when she heard this, and she rolled her eyes helplessly. The guy with feelings discovered it at that time.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
He smiled softly and seemed unconcerned. Because he had such arrogant strength, he naturally wouldn't care about the calculations of these monsters and monsters.
"It's just a trivial matter. I'll kill everyone who dares to come. What's there to say? But... I just can give you some practice."
The girl nodded in agreement with his words, perhaps out of confidence in her own legendary strength.
"That's right. Let's take a look first. It's okay if they don't take action. If they really dare to take action, I'm afraid the Terry family will have to see some blood this time."
There was a hint of coldness in the red and crystal-clear fire eyes. The girl was not a merciful person. She had gone through many battles along the way, and she could even be considered a murderer without batting an eyelid.
If the Terry family dared to send someone to attack her and others, she really planned to kill him. She was not happy about this coming-of-age ceremony, so she just took it as a way to vent her anger.
Regarding her confidence, Wanwan just smiled noncommittally. In fact, he was too lazy to do anything most of the time, so he confidently blamed her.
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll give you a good training. I'll take action when you can't beat me."
"...Don't you just want to be lazy? And you say it so nicely! No matter what, I won't be able to beat you, right? I'm a legend now! It's not easy to deal with some chasing minions."
Ariel saw through his intention to be lazy at a glance, but she was still very confident in her own strength after breaking through to Legend.
"Don't be too exaggerated, little girl..."
Wanwan shook his head helplessly, wanting to remind the girl to be more down-to-earth. However, he also knew that verbal persuasion was difficult to achieve, and many times people would not grow unless they suffered.
…
While the two were chatting, the carriage of a group of people had slowly left the Terry family's castle. Valkam, which was both lively and solemn, appeared in front of them again.
But the purpose of this trip was to leave. Knowing that something might happen on the way out, even Ariel had no intention of wandering around anymore.
But just as a group of people's carriage was driving slowly on the city's main road, a somewhat familiar exclamation came in and out of the carriage.
