Chapter 441 Persuading someone to drink
"Since you have done it, I must accompany you on behalf of the Demon King."
After saying that, Catwoman held the wine glass firmly with her fingers, raised her white wrist slightly, tilted her head back, and drank the wine in the glass in the blink of an eye.
Then, Catwoman moved lightly to Lin Chuan's side, raised her white hand slightly, tilted the wine jar, and the amber wine flowed into the cup like a trickle until it was full.
"How can I trouble you so much, Senior? Put the wine jar aside, I can do it myself."
Lin Chuan waved his hand, his eyes fell on the wine jar in Catwoman's hand, and said casually.
Catwoman shook her head slightly, her eyes full of persistence: "My Lords, just eat and drink well, don't worry about me."
"..."
Lin Chuan turned his head and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao beside him.
Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head in confusion. Seeing this, Lin Chuan pursed his lips and looked away.
"Your Excellency can try the Mirror Sea Snow Fish, which is unique to our demon race."
Catwoman smiled, pointed her fingertips at the dishes on the plate, and spoke softly.
Lin Chuan looked at the tempting mirror sea snow fish in front of him, and finally picked up a piece of white fish belly meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
"how is the taste?"
Catwoman leaned forward slightly, her eyes fell on Lin Chuan with a smile, and asked softly.
"very good."
Lin Chuan nodded and said sincerely.
Catwoman's eyes flickered as she softly said, "As long as my lord is satisfied, I'm glad. However, there's a saying among the demon tribe..."
Before Catwoman finished speaking, she saw Lin Chuan suddenly turn his head and look straight at her.
"Senior, did you mean 'belly five, back six'?"
There was a strong sense of inquiry in Lin Chuan's eyes, and he himself didn't even notice that there was a slight tremor in his voice when he spoke.
"???"
"What do you mean by this, sir?"
Catwoman looked confused, and her tone was filled with confusion and ignorance.
"..."
Lin Chuan was silent for a moment, then slowly withdrew his gaze and asked, "What did you just want to say, Senior?"
"The Mirror Sea Snowfish inhabits the extremely cold Mirror Sea in the western border of the demon tribe. Catching it is extremely difficult, and there's a saying that 'one bite of fish is worth a thousand spirit stones.' In demon tribe etiquette, this fish is called the Love Noble Fish, a precious token of trust between Taoist couples. When the Demon King heard that you were coming, he personally came to the Mirror Sea..."
Catwoman was interrupted by Ye Xiaoxiao before she could finish her words.
"Aunt Cat..."
Two blushes appeared on Ye Xiaoxiao's cheeks, her ears felt hot, and her voice unconsciously carried a hint of embarrassment.
"I've spoken too much, so I'll drink a glass of wine as punishment."
Catwoman opened her red lips, raised her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then lowered her eyes and said no more.
"..."
Lin Chuan was silent for a moment, then slowly turned his head to look at Ye Xiaoxiao beside him, his eyes filled with helplessness and doting: "Silly girl, the fish is delicious, but don't be so silly next time."
"As long as you like it, sir."
Ye Xiaoxiao's cheeks were burning hot, and her head was almost buried in her chest.
"Silly girl."
A soft sigh escaped from Lin Chuan's throat, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of helplessness.
Catwoman raised her slender hand and filled Lin Chuan's glass with amber nectar, a faint smile on her lips: "Why don't you appreciate these dances, sir? Is it because they don't suit your liking?"
"No, no, it's just that a crude person can't appreciate it."
Lin Chuan quickly shook his head and explained. It wasn't that he didn't want to watch, but whenever he tilted his head to look at the dancers, his feet would be gently stepped on by them.
"That's a pity. The Demon King had previously asked me to learn many dances, saying that he wanted to perform for important people."
Catwoman shook her head slightly, her tone filled with regret.
Ye Xiaoxiao: “???”
She had indeed asked Catwoman for dance lessons, but it was just that day when she happened to see Catwoman dancing gracefully, and she had the idea of learning how to dance and then dancing for Lin Chuan to see.
But she had no intention of revealing it at this banquet, or rather, she had thought about it but rejected it for some reason.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to dance for me?"
Lin Chuan turned his head slightly, looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with gentle eyes, and asked softly.
"..."
Ye Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, slowly raised her head, and stared at Lin Chuan with burning eyes, "Sir, do you want to see it?"
"If you think there are too many people and you're worried your performance won't be good, you can wait until there are fewer people and show it to me again."
Lin Chuan's eyes were gentle, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"..."
Ye Xiaoxiao pursed her lips slightly and remained silent. She was eager to show Lin Chuan the results of her studies, hoping to catch a glimpse of infatuation in his eyes.
However, Lin Chuan's words hit the nail on the head. With so many people present, she was really worried that she would make mistakes while dancing.
"I've also been learning dance recently. How about I accompany Xiaoxiao and dance with her?
At this moment, Bai Zhi suddenly smiled, and her clear and pleasant voice rang out across the table.
"what?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was slightly startled, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Soon, she nodded gently, "Sigh... sorry to bother Sister Bai."
"Come on, Xiaoxiao is the best."
Lin Chuan leaned close to Ye Xiaoxiao, his voice soft and encouraging.
"Ok!"
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, and her fair cheeks flushed slightly. Then, she stood up, took light steps, and slowly walked to the side.
Bai Zhi, who was sitting opposite, had a gentle smile on her lips. She stood up lightly and walked towards Ye Xiaoxiao with light lotus steps.
"Cough cough."
Catwoman coughed lightly. Although the sound was not loud, it echoed clearly in the hall.
Almost at the same time, except for the maid who came in with the wine jar at the beginning, the women who were dancing gracefully stopped their movements, bowed slightly, and then walked out of the hall with light steps, as if they had heard some invisible command.
"Sister Bai."
Ye Xiaoxiao tilted her head slightly and looked intently at Bai Zhi beside her, a hint of nervousness and dependence flashing in her eyes.
"I'm the one who should be worried. I don't even know what Xiaoxiao is going to dance, but I'm here to accompany her. If I end up dragging Xiaoxiao down, don't blame me."
Bai Zhi blinked, a relaxed smile appearing at the corner of her lips.
"Will not!"
Ye Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head, her eyes firm and sincere.
"Then let's get started."
Bai Zhi smiled faintly, her eyes revealing tenderness and calmness.
……
The melodious sound of stringed instruments slowly rang out. Ye Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and began to dance a little awkwardly.
Although her movements were not skillful, she was very serious. Bai Zhi beside her was in a state of panic, making mistakes from time to time.
Ye Xiaoxiao's heart tightened. She didn't care about her already unsmooth dancing posture. She tried hard to adjust her movements and use her body to cover up Bai Zhi's flustered flaws as much as possible.
Bai Zhi was breathing slightly, her face flushed slightly, but her seemingly panicked eyes hid calmness.
She took advantage of the interlaced movements to get close to Ye Xiaoxiao, lowered her voice and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, don't worry about me. If you are not skilled, I will not be able to cooperate well anyway."
"..."
Ye Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
……
"The dance that the Demon King performed is called 'Secret Thoughts', also known as 'Loyalty and Rebellion'. I only captured the form, not the spirit. Although your steps may seem awkward, the spirit is fully expressed."
Catwoman picked up the wine jar and leaned over to fill Lin Chuan's glass.
"Well, it is indeed beautiful."
Lin Chuan nodded, his eyes following the dancing figure, but suddenly fixed on Bai Zhi, whose steps were frantic. His brows unconsciously furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Bai Zhi seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised her eyes and blinked at Lin Chuan, with the corners of her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and there was a hint of cunning in her eyes.
"..."
Lin Chuan raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
