Chapter 405

"No, I don't need to. I can do it." The boy's voice trembled.

His current appearance is somewhat similar to, yet somewhat different from, the expression on his face when he accidentally stumbled upon Yu Lingwu's bloodline secret in his previous life.

In his past life, the boy also had a similarly tense expression.

But at that time, it was just him and Yu Lingwu.

Unlike now, the two met for the first time under the watchful eyes of all the nobles on this planet.

Nanbudu hasn't caught her secret yet, and his status is so low that he's not even worthy of kissing the red carpet she walked on.

But Nanbudu, under the watchful eyes of everyone, obtained an opportunity that everyone on this planet dreamed of, despite being of lowly status.

Ling Wu remained silent, giving the boy's trembling hand a cold glance as he poured the wine.

"This wine... if I'm not mistaken, is made from flowers that can only grow in polluted areas. It can suppress human restlessness to the greatest extent. This small cup is not only priceless, but it's also completely unavailable on the market."

Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to taste a small bite at a banquet hosted by the Imperial Government, accompanying my superior. The flavor! Even now, thinking about it makes me feel utterly intoxicated…”

Is what the person upstairs said true or false?

"He wasn't lying. There are bounty hunters who make it into the top ten deadliest spots, and they specialize in picking these flowers in contaminated areas."

"If that's the case, then isn't she drinking human blood? After all, just for a cup of wine, she sends humans deep into polluted areas just to pick flowers!"

"Stop joking, upstairs! Putting aside the fact that the money's been exchanged, bounty hunters are in the business of risking their lives. And if the pay's high enough, forget about picking flowers in contaminated areas; even going so far as to French kiss a contaminated person there would be plenty of people vying for the job!"

"If Nanbudu manages to hook up with the beautiful lady, he can rename his live stream room 'Worldview Live Stream Room'."

"Nanbudu, you better hold on tight! If you spill even a drop of this expensive wine, you couldn't pay for it even if you sold yourself!"

Nanbudu had obviously seen these comments as well. His hands trembled, but he managed not to spill a single drop.

With great care and caution, Ping An finally handed the glass containing the blue liquid to Ling Wu.

The boy's voice was hesitant: "For you, here you go."

However, Ling Wu, who was sitting in the main seat, just looked at the glass of wine and did not take it.

Nanbudu was surrounded by malicious, onlooker-like gazes.

He tightened his fingertips uncomfortably.

Under Ling Wu's gaze, a suspicious blush appeared on the boy's ears.

"Put it down," Ling Wu said.

"Huh?" Nanbudu was slightly taken aback.

He carefully considered the tone of the person speaking in front of him.

Indifferent and calm, without a trace of the favoritism and tenderness one would show to someone they fall in love with at first sight.

Nanbudu's heart sank.

Could it be that the "love at first sight" buff has failed on her? He wondered.

But the "success" message dispelled his doubts, and he guessed that it might be because the other party was a 3S+.

At the same time, Ling Wu heard Nuwa's voice in her ears: [Nan Budu is doubting whether that item will be useful to you.]

Lingwu did not change her original plan because of those words.

It's more accurate to say that Nanbudu approached her, but it's actually more accurate to say that she was luring the group of interstellar citizens behind Nanbudu to approach her.

Therefore, Nanbudu's idea is not important.

What's important is the group of interstellar citizens behind him.

Lingwu remained silent, and Nanbudu, after realizing what had happened, lowered his head and placed the wine back on the table.

The wine glass, standing alone on the wide black jade table, now revealed the congealed blood on it.

The bloodstains looked dirty and disgusting as they sloshed around in the blue liquid.

People around frowned and covered their mouths and noses with their hands.

To these powerful and wealthy individuals, the blood of the lower classes is filled with countless filth and toxins, and they are all afraid of being tainted by it.

Nanbudu had clearly noticed this as well. He clenched his injured fingers helplessly, a feeling of inferiority welling up inside him.

Only now did he realize the immense gap between himself and the woman before him.

His arrogance and haughtiness since he acquired this live stream vanished under the woman's nonchalant indifference.

But the interstellar citizens in the live stream were completely different from him:

"Damn, this woman is so charming even when she's saying embarrassing things without any expression!"

"I absolutely adore her! She's an SSS+ level of perfection! All those items and deep strategic experience are nothing compared to her!"

"Can we please change the host of the interstellar live stream? Even if she doesn't try to woo anyone, I'd be willing to spend all my money to send her gifts just for shaking a cup! I'm seriously going crazy for her!"

"Honestly, I've had enough of low-quality romance options. When I finally meet a high-quality human, I'm afraid to even blink and miss the chance to see her again."

"Aloof and powerful + cold and powerful + stunningly beautiful face that will captivate you at first sight = my dream girl!"

"I'm sorry, I... I'll make it up to you." Nan Budu lowered his head, the light in his starry eyes dimming.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard more or less contemptuous laughter from the crowd at the ball.

"Compensate?" Ling Wu looked up at him, ignoring the barrage of comments above her head that all said "He's gone mad."

"Yes, I can compensate you."

Crimson blood seeped from between the boy's slightly clenched, pale fingers. The blood had accumulated for a while, and a drop was about to fall from the bottom.

Just as Nanbudu nodded, the blood dripped down.

Nanbudu was extremely grateful for his good fortune.

This drop of blood might bring him a turning point; perhaps the woman before him would feel even a sliver of pity for him…

But before he could even feel smug, the drop of blood in mid-air was caught by the robot with its metallic hand.

The robot then remained silent, turned and left with the drop of blood.

For some reason, I felt a little awkward...

Lingwu didn't wait any longer and got up.

As she stood up, the cool fragrance she carried wafted into the boy's nostrils, and was also detected by the interstellar citizens in the live stream room.

Nanbudu blinked, his heart pounding rapidly.

The live stream comments refreshed extremely quickly!

"She smells so good! She's so perfect! I'm going crazy! Why wasn't I the one who experienced 3S+?! Why! Why!"

"What is she doing? She's not going to kiss the streamer, is she? No way! He's not clean! Ahhhhh, I'm going crazy!"

"Impossible! How could she possibly do that to Nanbudu! Don't try to scare me!"

In a flash, Ling Wu shifted her steps and prepared to leave.

The live stream chat instantly filled with gifts as everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This was a historic moment in interstellar live streaming—viewers were thrilled and delighted by the indifference of the person they were trying to win over.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Nanbudu said.

Ling Wu didn't speak, but she stopped in her tracks as she was about to leave, her expression still indifferent.

Nanbudu's heart skipped a beat.

The fact that all the great figures who look up to him will stop and stare at him makes it impossible for him to remain calm.

He asked nervously, "I... I haven't added your contact information yet. How... how should I pay you the compensation?"

"No need." Ling Wu left those three words, then walked past him and headed forward.

Nanbudu's fingers clenched even tighter.

This was completely different from what he had expected; as his blood circulation ignited his body temperature, he lost his composure.

"Do you think I'm dirty?"
