Chapter 196: Heather: Give me some to drink.
"Grey Fish, Little Sea Hare..."
Above the sky, Little Gray Fur and Xi Lian were attending the banquet with great interest, looking around.
Just then, a gentle and familiar voice came from behind them, clearly reaching their ears.
"Come here and share with me the wonders of the seabed."
His tone was gentle and soothing, clearly indicating that he was specifically inviting Little Gray Hair and Xi Lian.
The little gray-haired boy's ears twitched, and he immediately took light steps and trotted over to the source of the sound.
Heather looked at the two people walking quickly towards her, a hint of apology in her cool eyes.
"The two of you are pacing back and forth, as if you have something on your mind. Could it be that the staff at the venue have not been hospitable enough?"
Xi Lian quickly shook her little head vigorously, waving her hands incessantly, and hurriedly tried to explain.
"No, no. We are enjoying the banquet! It's just... we are a little uneasy that Caesar is still not here."
Heather's tone was calm, but her eyes held a knowing and composed demeanor.
"Don't be impatient, I know what you two are waiting for."
Immediately afterwards, Hazel turned slightly to the side, inviting the two to go to a secluded spot.
"Come, sit with me for a little while? I have a private secret I want to share with you."
Both Little Grey and Xilian could tell that the secret Heather was talking about was definitely related to Krydela.
The two immediately exchanged a knowing glance, understanding each other perfectly.
Xi Lian winked at the little gray-haired boy, signaling her agreement to the invitation.
Little Grey immediately understood, and together with Xi Lian, they looked up at Heather and nodded gently.
Seeing this, Hazel turned around and walked slowly forward, leading Little Grey and Xilian to a quiet flower bush next to the venue.
She sat casually among the blooming flowers, exuding a languid yet elegant air.
Despite being in the true form of a squid from the sea, she was sitting among the flowers, her two long, slender legs wrapped in black stockings crossed over her shoulder.
It gives people an extremely alluring feeling, like a black butterfly fluttering and resting among the flowers.
Hazel slowly raised the exquisitely carved wine glass in her hand, looking at the two of them with gentle eyes.
"Look..."
"This is Fajina's Divine Blood Honey Dew, the sweetest of the twelve treasure bottles."
"On the eve of this historical transformation, with such a rare treasure, I would like to invite the 'Savior' to share a drink."
Xi Lian stared at the wine glass in Hai Seyin's hand, recalling the confiscation of her belongings before, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"Buddy, does this count as bringing your own drinks? Sure enough, security checks are targeting us."
Heather's ears twitched slightly as she noticed the two whispering to each other, and she asked softly.
"What's wrong, you two?"
Xi Lian quickly stopped her fidgeting, looked up and pretended to be flattered, her tone slightly reserved.
"I'm a little... flattered."
"Are you worried that I've planted poison in the honeydew?" Heather asked bluntly, then smiled slightly.
"Then, please let me prove my innocence."
"Gurgle..."
Heather raised her glass, tilted her head back, and drank the honeydew in one gulp, even stretching her long neck as if to remind him.
They deliberately let the two people clearly see the entire process of the liquid flowing through their throats, without any faking.
After finishing her demonstration, Heather put down her wine glass and looked at the two of them with a faint smile.
"See? It's perfectly safe."
Xi Lian leaned closer to the little gray fur, lowered her voice and whispered a reminder, her expression extremely cautious.
"I have a feeling that Miss Hathaway wants to talk to us about something... Should we just go along with her for now?"
Little Gray immediately put his hands on his hips, shook his little head seriously, and refused righteously.
"Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol..."
This statement is hard to believe, and no one present could tell whether Little Gray was an adult or not.
Besides, she had clearly drunk with Tibbo and Aglaia before, so it wasn't her first time.
Clearly, Heather didn't take Little Grey's words seriously, considering them just a child's joke.
Her voice remained gentle as she patiently explained in a soft voice.
"Don't worry. Honeydew is not fermented rice and will not make you drunk."
"On the contrary, it can make you more clear-headed."
Before she finished speaking, Heather moved slightly, and the wine glass was already firmly pressed against Little Gray Hair's lips.
As expected of Caesar's personal blade, Onphalus's most agile swordsman moved so fast that his afterimages were almost invisible.
Please savor it carefully.
As soon as she finished speaking, Heather tilted her fingertips slightly and slowly poured the honeydew from the cup into the little gray fur's mouth.
The sweet honeydew flowed entirely into the little gray-haired creature's belly, not a single drop was left.
After achieving her goal, Hazel slowly withdrew her hand, turned to look at little Xilian, and raised the empty cup again.
"Little sea hare, you want to join us too?"
Xi Lian quickly reached out and took the cup. She didn't want to be forced to drink like Little Gray Fur, so she hurriedly spoke up.
"Let them do it themselves..."
After saying that, Xi Lian immediately raised the cup and slowly drank the honey nectar in it, taking small sips.
"Gurgle...gurgle..."
Heather watched quietly as the two finished their drinks, then asked softly, her tone indifferent.
"How is it? Sweet?"
The little gray creature stretched out its tiny paw and touched its lips, then obediently nodded its head.
"not bad…"
Haiseyin nodded slightly, looking at the two of them with a serious expression.
"If you like it, that's fine."
"Sometimes calm, sometimes fierce—that's the taste of the ocean."
"Before setting off to face the waves of Fagina, you should first familiarize yourself with its fickleness."
...
"How foolish! Heather's purpose is so clear: she wants you to drink this glass of wine!"
"You guys really dare to drink this? Aren't you afraid they've put something in the drink?"
Just as the plot reached this point, Yu Xiaogang's portrait suddenly enlarged below the screen, taking up most of the frame.
He put on a shrewd look as if he knew everything, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly jumped out and roared, startling those who were intently watching the sky.
The woman in the picture, Hazel, has an exquisitely beautiful and aloof appearance, and a graceful and enchanting figure.
Her legs were wrapped in tight black stockings, and her arms were covered with thin black gauze, giving her an alluring aura.
She looked every bit the mature and alluring older sister, especially with the faint, glistening bubbles rising from her abdomen, which were particularly eye-catching.
Most viewers felt that Little Grey Hair was incredibly strong, or that Heather was so beautiful that she didn't seem like a bad person with malicious intentions.
Therefore, everyone agreed that it was no big deal for Little Grey to drink the honeydew she offered.
Moreover, Hazel took a sip in front of the two of them first. If there is really a problem with Honey Dew, wouldn't she suffer as well?
However, Yu Xiaogang's shout woke everyone up, and they immediately realized that something was wrong.
Although Hathaway had been drinking, she likely took the antidote beforehand.
In this way, the poison in the wine would have no effect on her and would only harm Little Gray Hair and Xi Lian.
If there's really something wrong with this drink, then Little Gray Hair and Xi Lian are in big trouble this time.
Moreover, Little Grey Hair was forced to drink by Heather, which was already unusual.
At that moment, everyone realized that there was definitely something wrong with this cup of Divine Blood Honey Dew.
They understood it with just a little guidance, but how could Xi Lian, who was in the story and was always clever and quick-witted, not see it?
Countless questions flooded my mind instantly, and a dense barrage of comments once again filled the entire sky.
Xi Lian must have been able to tell that there was something wrong with the wine.
So why did she ultimately drink that glass of wine?
