Chapter 248 Devour her

After a short while, the girls seemed to cheer up again and went out to do whatever they wanted.

Not long after, the first night of the dance finally began.

The ball was held in the main building's banquet hall, a huge hall that could accommodate thousands of people. The atmosphere was lively, with elegant music playing softly.

People socialized with each other, and it looked like a high-society dinner party.

Unfortunately, neither the Duke nor the Duchess of Terence Castle appeared tonight; the butler spoke on their behalf.

But no one complained when they saw the immense wealth of Terence Castle.

Soon the music started again, and everyone found their dance partners and began to dance gracefully in the hall.

Jiang Liyue has no interest in such a world of fame and fortune; she prefers the little cakes that no one pays attention to in the corner.

After rejecting many men's invitations, she avoided the crowd and went to a corner where pastries were displayed.

Besides small cakes, they also offer main dishes like steak, as well as a variety of fruits.

Almost all of them were foods she liked to eat.

Jiang Liyue hadn't expected there to be so many good things in this dungeon, and instantly forgot about finding her boyfriend at the ball.

Anyway, that bastard's nose is always like a dog's, so he'll find her very quickly.

Before that, she should eat something good first.

Jiang Liyue smiled.

At this moment, in the shadows on the second floor of the banquet hall, a handsome but pale-faced young man was looking down at the lively scene below.

A sarcastic expression appeared on his face.

If Lucia were still alive and here, she would recognize this as the terrifying boy in the rose garden.

Not far behind him, the butler was bowing his head, looking very respectful.

"These are the people he found?" The boy's voice was laced with contempt. "The blood of these ants reeks. What's the point of collecting it?"

Upon hearing this, the butler lowered his head even further.

What is foul-smelling blood to you could possibly be a rare delicacy to them.

They had been sleeping in the castle for a hundred years, and hadn't seen any living humans for a hundred years!

Besides, the person who collected this blood wasn't doing it to drink it.

But the butler knew he couldn't mention the adults in front of the boy, otherwise the boy would definitely go down and cause a scene, and if he really ruined the ball, he wouldn't be able to explain it!

Since the butler didn't speak, the boy snorted and didn't say anything more sarcastic.

He glanced down at the ground, bored, and was about to look away when he suddenly froze.

Jiang Liyue spent a long time carefully selecting from the dessert table, but in the end she only took two strawberry mini cakes.

She mainly eats desserts during afternoon tea, but in the evening she prefers to eat something hot and steaming.

For example, seafood pasta or a steak that looks very tender...

Hehe, just for tonight's dinner, she has to say that the ball at Terence Castle was absolutely fantastic!

Just as Jiang Liyue took two small cakes and placed them on the plate, she suddenly felt a familiar, burning gaze upon her.

She seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of the gaze, only to meet the eyes of a handsome young man staring intently at her from a short distance away.

The young man looked like a nobleman, with his handsome appearance as always, but in this instance he had a more Western look with black hair.

His eyes were even deeper, as if they held a deep affection that could drown a person.

He just stared at her, lost in thought.

Jiang Liyue wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that a glimmer of light flashed in the boy's eyes for a moment, only to disappear quickly.

He just stared at her so longingly, and for a moment, he reminded one of a puppy that had been abandoned.

It's a bit pitiful.

Jiang Liyue is very soft.

She blinked, and seeing that he didn't seem to intend to say anything, she gave him a sweet smile and said, "Hello, would you like some cake too?"

Jiang Liyue had originally planned that when she saw that scoundrel in this instance, she would definitely be cold to him first. But he secretly ran out of the instance and even pretended to hide it from her.

But then he saw his pitiful state inside the dungeon.

Jiang Liyue: ...Never mind.

What's wrong with a boyfriend in a dungeon having no memories?

The one who's wrong is that big jerk Chu Li.

Jiang Liyue would never admit that she was actually blinded by the good looks of her boyfriend in the game.

Who can blame her for being so lustful? Faced with such beauty, she just can't bring herself to be ruthless TT

"Hmm...hmm." The boy seemed to come to his senses for a moment. "Yes, yes, I like strawberry cake too."

"Then I'll share one with you?" Jiang Liyue tilted her head and offered.

The boy just stared at her blankly like a puppy. Jiang Liyue helplessly introduced herself first: "I'm Jiang Liyue, and you are?"

The boy stared at her intently: "Herlo, I am Herlo."

Jiang Liyue called his name with a smile: "Herlo, it's nice to meet you."

The moment she called out her name, Herlo almost burst into tears.

He looked at her with red eyes and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Month after month.

Herlo, like a clingy puppy, kept staring at Jiang Liyue as she ate without blinking.

As if afraid she would disappear before their eyes, they were also somewhat cautious.

Jiang Liyue felt helpless; she felt that her boyfriend in this instance had become much clingier.

He even had the illusion that he wished he could hold her in his arms all the time and never be separated from her for a moment.

After meeting his eager gaze once again, Jiang Liyue asked directly, "Heiluo, why are you staring at me?"

His ears were bright red, but he still looked at her intently: "I... I fell in love with you at first sight, Yueyue. I think I've fallen in love with you. Would you like to be with me?"

Jiang Liyue: ...?

Is it really that direct?

In fact, Herloh was also worried that this would scare her, but he had no choice; he didn't want to have even the slightest possibility of being separated from her again.

He also couldn't bear the thought of her disappearing before his eyes.

“I know this might be sudden for you. I live in Terence Castle. If you think I’m nice, I can take you to stay at my place. We can get to know each other slowly, okay?”

As Herloh finished speaking, his expression became somewhat cautious.

Where is the same cold and ruthless person he was in the rose garden, the one who could decide life and death with a single word?

So, the boyfriend in this scenario is supposed to be a straightforward guy?

Jiang Liyue blinked slowly, and nodded under his burning, distorted gaze: "Okay."

Herlo couldn't resist reaching out to take her hand, his half-closed eyes concealing the madness in them.

Even if she had refused him just now, he would never have let her go.

Fortunately, Yueyue agreed.

Otherwise, those rotten, dark, and twisted thoughts deep within her mind would probably be unable to control themselves and would devour her.
