"..."
Vermouth took a deep breath. "I'm not angry, I'm not angry. I'm not the boss, what do I have to be angry about!"
Why do you always think about these things?
"Because you're beautiful, teacher!"
"..."
Faced with Natsume's honest and straightforward words, Vermouth was completely speechless. There was nothing she could do; he was telling the truth. She knew how attractive her body was to men, and Natsume was a pure pervert. It would be strange if he didn't want to do such things when he saw her!
"Forget it~"
Vermouth, too lazy to argue with Xia Ye, gave him a charmingly disdainful look and snorted coldly, "Don't try to sweet-talk me. What were you saying about me behind my back just now?"
"In my heart, I think of you, teacher, as a solitary orchid with poisonous thorns hidden in its pistil. Other men would die if they touched you, but only I—"
Xia Ye was still attacking when she suddenly noticed that Vermouth's slender hand, covered by a black gauze glove, had somehow produced a long, thin poison needle that emitted a ghostly blue light. At that moment, Vermouth was holding it and heading straight for her stomach!
"Teacher, please have mercy!"
With Xia Ye's strength, he easily grasped Vermouth's wrist in an instant, and he said with a wry smile:
"Teacher, I was just kidding!"
"Hehe, I'm not joking with you!"
Vermouth smiled coldly, her slender hand still gripping the poison needle tightly.
It seems they really want to strike at the heart of the matter and exploit Xia Ye's weaknesses!
Xia Ye's face darkened, and she easily pulled away from Vermouth's slender hand, gritting her teeth as she said:
"Teacher, isn't it a bit too harsh?"
"Who gave you the right to talk to me like that!"
Vermouth's beautiful eyes were cold and clear, she bit her red lips lightly and snorted coldly: "You have no manners at all, daring to be so disrespectful to your teacher!"
“But teacher—” Xia Ye smiled, “didn’t I say I wanted to conquer you, and you agreed? So how could my words just now be considered frivolous?”
"Haha~"
Vermouth sneered again:
"As I said, I want to see how you impress me. If you think you can achieve your goal with just a few compliments, then you are being too naive!"
"Hey!"
Xia Ye sighed softly:
"I originally wanted to wait a few more days, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient, so today I'll show you my skills!"
"what?"
Vermouth was startled to find that the poison needle in her hand had been taken away in an instant. Then, Xia Ye grabbed her wrist with one hand and put her arm around her waist with the other, and forcibly led her out of the banquet hall.
"What are you going to do?"
"Of course, it's to break down the fortress of darkness and ice in your heart, Teacher!" Xia Ye said with a smug grin. "And once you break down that wall, maybe you'll become a sunny and cheerful woman like Yukiko. Are you looking forward to it?"
"Xia Ye, let me go!"
Vermouth looked at Xia Ye's mischievous grin and at the corridor lined with luxurious guest rooms on both sides, a sense of foreboding creeping over her. Could it be that he was planning to—
Xia Ye pushed open the door to a guest room.
He turned around and locked the door.
"Bam—!"
He reached out and caught Vermouth's sudden foot strike, then simply picked her up by the waist, carried her into the bedroom, and gently placed her on the bed.
"Xia Ye, no!"
Even the cold and cruel witch has moments of panic. Realizing what was about to happen, a hint of tension appeared in Vermouth's usually calm and unfathomable eyes.
“Teacher, I told you back then that ‘darkness and ice can be dispelled by fire, and barriers can be broken by a sharp blade.’ This is my method!”
Xia Ye's mischievous smile deepened:
"It's a pity you didn't understand what I said—but it doesn't matter if you don't understand, you'll understand once you experience it yourself!"
"..."
Even at this moment, Vermouth was speechless upon hearing Natsume's words!
Who knows if this bastard was really just talking nonsense!
"You—uh!"
A short while later, Xia Ye raised her head with a smile on her face and said, "Teacher, there's still some time before the banquet ends. Now, let me break down the barriers that bind your mind!"
"No—uh!"
The banquet in the banquet hall is still ongoing.
Few people noticed that Xia Ye and Vermouth had left.
Inside the luxury guest room.
Xia Ye gently stroked Vermouth's cheek, her deep eyes filled with tenderness as she asked:
"Teacher, have the darkness and ice that enveloped your heart been dispelled? If not, I will try harder!"
"..."
Vermouth is now even more powerless than when she was seriously injured in Europe!
Hearing Xia Ye's words.
She just gave him a lazy, dismissive look.
I don't want to talk to him at all!
However, what made her a little embarrassed was—
She feels completely relaxed now.
The darkness and ice that supposedly enveloped the soul seemed to have been truly dispelled by the flame-laden blades just now, and in the blink of an eye, most of it had vanished!
This struck her as incredible!
Although I don't want to recall those things from back then, the reason I closed myself off is from a very long time ago.
They encountered Yukiko and Ran along the way, and after so much time, they managed to open a crack in the fortress. However, because of this absurd incident, half of the fortress has collapsed!
Can time travelers be this unreasonable?
"It seems there are still some remnants!"
Xia Ye's face broke into a mischievous grin once again:
"Then I'll try harder!"
"and many more!"
Vermouth quickly grabbed Xia Ye's hand and said softly, "It's over, I've thought it through!"
"Oh? You've figured it out?"
A mischievous glint flashed in Xia Ye's eyes, making Vermouth's heart ache. She chuckled and said:
"Now that you've figured it out, teacher, it's time to enjoy it! So I'll keep trying!"
"You—uh!"
Vermouth's embarrassed and angry voice was stuck in her throat.
She realized that Xia Ye, that bastard, had never intended to let her go from the beginning. No matter how she answered, it would be the same to him!
Feeling the fiery intrusion of summer leaves, Vermouth sighed inwardly, "Fine! Let it be!"
Chapter 318 Yukiko's Stimulating Plan~
Upon entering the banquet hall.
Xia Ye leaned against the wall slightly.
I just dealt with Vermouth.
Of course, he couldn't possibly emerge unscathed.
After all, Vermouth isn't a little girl like Ran or the others; her fighting power is about the same as Yukiko's!
She is considered one of the top female characters.
So, Xia Ye is at least slightly tired, if not severely weakened!
however--
Looking around the banquet hall, Xia Ye felt her fatigue worsen even more!
no way.
This is a luxury cruise trip.
On this boundless sea.
It always allows people to shed their constraints and let themselves go!
So now all those beautiful ladies, young and old, who are having a great time, will definitely prepare some entertainment after the banquet ends, and I guess I'll have to put in some effort!
How can I refuse?
Of course not!
As a man, how could you possibly say something as incompetent as "No, no, I'm too tired today" when your woman invites you out?
In some movies, this would cause trouble!
Xia Ye, as a "victim comforter," is there to help victims overcome their trauma, but she has absolutely no desire to experience what victims feel!
"System, quickly give me items to restore stamina!"
Stamina Potion
Xia Ye took a look.
The system gave a potion that restores 50% of stamina, which is a fairly standard item.
In this way, the tasks required to obtain the items are not too difficult.
It was just a kiss in the center of the banquet hall.
At this moment, Sonoko was unaware of what was about to happen and was chatting with Yoko Okino and Ran.
"Garden!"
A familiar voice reached Sonoko's ears.
Looking back, he saw Xia Ye waving at him.
"Xiao Lan, is Xia Ye calling me?"
Sonoko asked Ran with some surprise, noting that among all the log holders, she had never been the one Natsume paid the most attention to.
Whether it's Ran, Shiho, or Yukiko, they all spent more time with her than she did with Natsume.
So even though Xia Ye is calling her now, she still has some doubts—maybe Xia Ye is calling Xiao Lan or Yang Zi.
"I was calling you!"
Xiao Lan smiled and gently nudged her shoulder, then winked playfully.
"Speaking of which, Sonoko, you're the leading lady today! Natsume is standing right in the center of the banquet hall, inviting you in a voice that can be heard throughout half the hall. She must have prepared some kind of surprise. Why don't you hurry over!"
"Yes, Sonoko, you're dressed like a princess today. Isn't that your prince waiting for you over there?" Yoko Okino giggled, covering her mouth. "Although our prince is a bit of a womanizer, he's still usable!"
"Then I'll go!"
Sonoko lifted her skirt; her gorgeous pink princess dress made her walk a little slower.
At regular banquets, she had no patience for such inconvenient dresses and would at most wear a more formal skirt.
However, she wore it today.
