"You're the Queen tonight, in every sense of the word."
Vivian handed Jiang Yu a glass of Rosemary Light Wine, admiration showing on her face as she flattered her. "...With Su Shijun absent, you're the biggest news at this Shanglin Garden Spring Hunt."
"Must you mention her name in front of me?" With no one else nearby, Jiang Yu was less reserved. She accepted the wineglass from the pink-robed witch, sounding somewhat helpless as she wondered how this person, whom she had just thoroughly skewered, had come clinging back to her again in the blink of an eye.
Hadn't she come looking for an energy drink precisely because chatting with them earlier had been too exhausting?
Thinking of that, she looked around uneasily. Fortunately, as far as the eye could see, only this bee-like person before her was still buzzing around and pestering her.
Pretending not to notice the resistance on Jiang Yu's face, Vivian clasped her hands before her chest as if in prayer, her voice pleading. "Lend me your dance partner later... just one dance! Merlin above, for the sake of the Ice Staff of Princess Aisha that I gave you when we were three!"
"That was just a toy! And you didn't give it to me—we made a bet, and I won!"
Jiang Yu puffed out her cheeks, seeming as though she wanted to breathe out Dragon Breath and burn this shameless person before her to ashes. But in the end, she realized she was not a fire dragon. Annoyed, she lowered her head and swirled the pale green liquid in her glass. After carefully examining it for quite a while and confirming there was no laxative in it, she lifted her eyelids again. "...Besides, if you want to dance, just ask him directly. Why tell me?"
