Chapter 695 Lanqi only wants to be beaten to death by Tata
On the square of the Eiffel Tower.
"Let's go, Tata."
Lanqi continued to hold her hand, not letting go, and invited her to go with him.
"Um."
Talia said nothing and didn't resist, just let him lead her away.
Her emotions are very stable.
The volcano in my heart was finally suppressed.
If it were Hyperion, she would definitely not be angry with Lanqi at this time.
I am Hyperion, I am Hyperion.
She kept hypnotizing herself in her mind and finally calmed down.
Lanci and Talia strolled along the streets of Pariel one after the other, the hustle and bustle of the early morning gradually being replaced by the vibrant pulse of the city.
Lanqi happily held Talia's hand, his eyes lingering on her profile from time to time.
The two of them walked like this, sometimes chatting and laughing, and sometimes falling into a brief listening state.
The cat boss's small figure hid behind them, following them stealthily.
Even though it felt scary.
But it's still curious.
Talia was wearing gloves today, so she was particularly casual in holding Lanqi's hand. However, the closer they were to each other, the more afraid the cat owner was that Lanqi might suddenly do something.
As it was moving back and forth like a black shadow between corners, benches, and newsstands, it suddenly saw two other figures following it from a distance across the street.
They kept an eye on Ranchi and Tata's every move.
"Look, Etienne, I told you they are a perfect match, made in heaven!"
Countess Rosalinda whispered excitedly, her eyes twinkling with gossip.
Both of them changed into casual clothes, and they couldn't be seen as the count and the demon lord at all.
"Sure enough, there's going to be something interesting today."
Etienne agreed, with a hint of relief in her tone.
Tata's two good friends hid in the street corner, occasionally looking out, sometimes talking in a low voice, without noticing that they had attracted the attention of several passers-by.
"Meow!"
Boss Cat called out from across the street.
The two of them noticed it immediately.
"Kitten, kitty, come here quickly."
Rosalinda waved quietly to the cat owner.
Previously, during the first round of the platinum-level card maker exam, the kitten followed her for the entire day.
Boss Cat nodded immediately and leaped over there.
"You are also looking forward to seeing some sparks fly between them during their date, right?"
Rosalinda hugged the little black cat that jumped over and asked with her head down.
"Meow……"
Sparks? Volcano! Cat Boss doesn't know how to explain the complicated relationship between Lanqi and Tata to Etiou and Rosalinda.
As they were chatting, Etienne noticed a crimson convertible magical vehicle speeding past. Tata, who was being led across the road by Lanqi, was absent-minded behind it, as if he was still thinking about something.
Talia's brows were slightly frowned, her cherry lips were tightly pursed, and her almond-shaped eyes were full of thoughts.
"Hello!"
Etienne almost cried out.
Lanqi reacted immediately.
He nimbly grasped the lady's wrist, and with his other hand he tightly embraced her slender waist, and the two of them suddenly moved one step closer to the sidewalk.
Talia's bright red lips slightly opened, and the speeding vehicle brought up a gust of wind, which rolled up the flower petals on the street and swirled into a colorful vortex in the air.
In this sudden moment, Talia felt that everything around her slowed down. The footsteps of pedestrians on the road, the swaying leaves on the treetops, and the petals flying in the air all passed by her vision in slow motion.
Only Lanqi's strong and warm palms gave her an extremely safe and real feeling.
Talia slowly raised her head, and he held her waist tightly and held her hand, as if they were dancing.
She looked at Ranchi in surprise.
His strong and reliable attitude, his unwavering eyes, and his handsome face if you look closely...
In an instant, she felt the familiar accelerated heartbeat of the past two days again.
really……
I am still...
"That's great, otherwise the people in the car would be in danger."
Lanqi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Talia with a smile like a concerned citizen.
How can a mere magic vehicle hit Tata?
It was just like crashing into a tower, the car was destroyed and everyone died on the spot.
“…”
Talia was silent again.
Behind the street corner on the other side.
"Look how good the atmosphere is among them."
Etienne sighed.
"Yes, yes."
Rosalinda nodded.
"Tata was too shy to speak."
Just by looking at it from a distance, she felt her girlish heart melt.
Cat Boss: “…”
It doesn't know what it can say.
I just remembered a story Lanqi told me.
When you see a white goat on the side of the road while riding in a car, you cannot conclude that it is a white goat, because it is possible that on the side that you cannot see, it is a black goat.
…
On the side of the road, Lanqi led Talia to the sidewalk.
"Hey, Tata, why do I feel like you're holding my hand tighter?"
Lanci asked, looking a little confused.
Talia tried to take a deep breath and slowly relaxed her hands, still letting Lanqi hold her hand, and she was like a doll girl.
In the past, she would have threatened Lanqi and said, "If you have the guts, just keep holding me and don't run away."
But today she was determined to disgust Lanqi.
As long as she is not angry, Lanqi will not be satisfied.
"I'm a little scared, too."
Talia pretended to be weak and moved closer to him.
"Can you hold my hand all day and never let go?"
Talia looked up at him and spoke calmly.
“…”
Lanqi was rarely silent.
Although his expression did not change, it seemed as if his face was trying hard to control the discomfort.
Until the goose bumps that briefly appeared on the back of his hands subsided.
"Of course, but won't you run away first?"
Lanqi smiled with narrowed eyes, lowered his voice and asked her,
"After all, as far as I know, Master, you have never had the experience of dating a boy alone like this in the past few hundred years. I'm afraid you're shy."
Faced with Lanqi's provocative words, Talia felt her blood pressure rise again.
"No, I won't let go as long as you don't let go."
Talia responded, still smiling.
"Then I am the same."
Lanci assured.
Both of them looked at each other with forced smiles.
Whoever lets go today loses.
For a brief moment.
Rosalinda and Etienne were already hiding behind the parasol of an open-air teahouse with their cat, their eyes still fixed on the couple not far away.
"Oh my god, Etienne, did you see that?"
Rosalinda excitedly grabbed Etienne's arm, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
“Wow wow wow!”
Etienne covered her mouth with both hands, trying to suppress the urge to make a sound.
Her eyes sparkled and her cheeks flushed with excitement.
"I can't believe that Lanqi can be so affectionate. Look at the way he looks at Tata, as if she is his whole world!"
Rosalinda hugged the little black cat a little tighter.
This is exactly the sweet love they want to see! Listening to the conversation between the two, Boss Cat just feels like life is hopeless.
It once mistakenly thought that this was a love story between a cold, intellectual older sister and a gentle, intelligent and beautiful boy, and was looking forward to the sparks between the two of them.
Now that I actually get to know these two people, I just feel that they are insulting love.
In a flash, Lanqi and Talia were walking away.
Etienne and Rosalinda followed closely behind, wandering through the streets with the cat, hiding and trying to see the whole date.
…
The two walked along the road of Parriere, among the quaint old buildings of the old neighborhood on the North Shore, enjoying this peaceful and quiet time.
"By the way, Tata, is there anywhere you want to go?"
Lanci asked, turning his head to look at Talia.
Today was the first time that the two of them had really made an appointment to go out and play together.
Neither of them knew what to do.
Lanqi didn't prepare in advance, so of course it was useless to prepare.
Tata is different from other girls. The more carefully you think about it, the more confused you will be by her.
"Please accompany me to the Card Creator's Association first."
Talia thought about it and felt that it was almost ten o'clock.
Although she didn't tell Karen the exact time, she told her to go to the Pariel Card Makers Association and wait there on the morning of the festival.
Leave the kallen there to dry for an hour or two.
This made Karen feel like she was both afraid of Talia's arrival and looking forward to her showing up to give her a good time.
Kallen's mentality should be gradually changing.
"no problem."
Lanci and Talia crossed the River Harbor Bridge across the Selina River and headed towards the Card Makers Guild on the south bank.
From time to time, a few wild geese fly across the river, casting their graceful shadows in the water.
After walking for about half an hour, the two finally arrived at the Card Creators Association building in South Bank District 3.
What is different from the past is that today, several lifelike fireworks signs were placed in the wide square in front of the association, which stated the time of tonight's Fireworks Rising Festival on the river bank.
The two of them didn't care much.
Originally they were planning to spend the day separately.
As you step into the association building, you will be greeted by a light and pleasant sandalwood scent.
The warm sunlight that shines in through the dome glass windows casts a warm hue over the interior space of the association. A huge escalator is connected to the back of the first floor, and a suspended corridor on the second floor surrounds a golden-leaf banyan bonsai tree that is more than ten meters tall.
The two took the elevator up to the corridor on the third floor which was covered with dark brown patterned carpet. The windows on both sides displayed dazzling card-making works. Some of the new cards were gorgeous and gorgeous, with carved beams and painted buildings, while others were simple and honest, returning to nature.
But both of them are platinum-level card makers and have little interest in these cards.
Only by looking through the glass curtain wall can one see the red maple forest on the street behind the association waving in the wind. The leaves have turned into an intoxicating deep red, and they look like dancing flames in the morning light.
I didn't walk many steps.
Their attention was attracted by a girl in the atrium on the third floor who was surrounded by people like a star.
Her long light-colored hair rested lightly on her shoulders, and she wore a plain chiffon shirt on her upper body. Her figure was petite yet well-proportioned.
It seemed that everyone was congratulating her on passing the platinum-level card maker test. All of them were prominent figures who wanted to please her and make friends with her.
However, the girl's slightly pale face and slightly smiling expression revealed a hint of fatigue, as if she was worried about something or was not feeling well.
As Talia stopped to watch, the girl became aware of their presence.
She slowly raised her head and scanned the crowd. The moment she saw Talia, her eyes, which had been a little dim, suddenly lit up with fear.
Karen seemed to have finally waited for something, ignoring the people around her and ran towards her eagerly.
Seeing Talia holding Lanci's hand so sweetly at this moment, and thinking that she would have to do something shameless to humiliate herself in order to preserve her reputation, Karin felt mixed emotions and her eyes were sore.
"I, I came as you requested."
Kallen whispered to Talia with timid eyes, her tone full of urgency and pleading.
They were afraid that people around them would hear what they said.
"Go to the card making room first, I'll give you the swimsuit and the brand."
Talia patted Kallen on the back and told her to straighten her chest and not act like she was bullying her. "Hold your head and chest high, or else people might recognize you with your hunched back."
Talia whispered to herself beside Kallen.
Kallen knew that this was Tata’s slang.
She just wanted to humiliate herself.
But the more this happens, the more I cannot give in. I just have to hold on and today will pass.
Talia took Lanqi and the three of them walked through the corridor.
They walked into a hidden dedicated passage, leading directly to the advanced card maker area on the sixth floor of the association.
Unlike the exhibition area downstairs, the layout here is more low-key and luxurious, and generally only management positions such as Rosalinda can come here.
In a few minutes, Talia arrived at the door of a high-end card-making room with exquisite decoration.
Talia gently opened the door and motioned for Kallen to go in.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In the dedicated card-making workshop with classical decoration, the time-washed moonwood is carved into counters of varying heights, and the barrier talismans engraved on its surface glow faintly.
Talia motioned for Kallen to sit on the chair in front of the table, and she took Lanqi to the locker, took out a metal box and placed it on the table.
"I've put the swimsuit, mask, and apology board I prepared for you in the card-making room. Just change and come out."
Talia urged.
“…”
Kallen pursed her lips and nodded, then opened the lid.
There was only a small pair of swimming trunks, a mask for camouflage, and a piece of cardboard with the words "Lord Tata, I was wrong" written on it.
Karen took out everything in the box and searched through it, but couldn't find the other piece of waterproof cloth she had imagined.
"Is this a swimsuit?"
Kallen picked up the swimming trunks, as if she gradually understood something. She looked up at Talia in a daze, and her pupils began to tremble.
"Yeah, I didn't say whether it was a men's swimsuit or a women's swimsuit. I saw that you like men so much, so I prepared a men's swimsuit for you."
Talia stretched out her left hand as a matter of course.
"No, absolutely not! You are playing word games!"
Kallen ran over and grabbed Talia's forearm and shouted excitedly.
"Get away and don't touch me."
Talia threw her away and let her fall to the ground, looking down at her with a cold eye as if she were trash. "If you bargain again, I will take your mask away. And if I really want to embarrass you, I can make this piece of cardboard smaller so that you can hardly block what you want to block."
A strange feeling lingered in Kallen's heart, and a chill surged up her spine, spreading throughout her body in an instant.
The pair of god-like golden pupils stared at her, making her unable to move.
Even breathing became difficult.
It was a terrifying magic power and look that made her tremble all over.
"No, I was wrong!"
Karen had already burst into tears. That day, she was threatened by Tata in the same way. The fear was greater than the humiliation. "Please let me go! I will never dare to mess with you again. I will disappear from your life!"
Kallen pushed herself up and wanted to hug Talia's legs, but she didn't dare touch Talia again. She could only cry and beg for mercy with tears in her eyes.
“…”
As if she couldn't hear her words, Talia picked up the mask, broke off a small piece from it, and threw it to the ground.
As punishment for her talking back.
It was also telling Karen that her begging for mercy would not change the severity of the punishment at all.
"Do you want it?"
Talia tentatively handed the broken piece of the mask to Kallen like a bone.
“…”
Kallen bit her lips tightly, tears streaming down her face.
She couldn't imagine what it would feel like to stand in public wearing only a pair of swimming trunks like this and holding a notice board.
The reputation she had worked so hard to build up and her status as a queen would not allow her to do such a thing.
But the fear that was beyond death made her instinctively dare not delay any longer. Until she ran away that day, her mind seemed to be filled with the figure and voice of the gray-haired and golden-eyed man!
"Karen, I am very gentle to you. This mask even comes with a wig. As long as you put it on, I guarantee that no one will recognize who you are. This is known only to God, the earth, you and me."
Seeing Kallen's hesitation, Talia began to move her hands along the gap of the mask again, and the crisp cracking sound gradually rang out.
"But if you break a few more pieces, there's no guarantee that anyone will be able to recognize you..."
Kallen felt a suffocating despair.
"want!"
Kallen finally seemed to have made up her mind, and seemed to have realized the reality. Fearing that a worse situation might happen, she tried her best to hide her emotional breakdown and tried to snatch the mask.
Every time it broke, she felt like her self-esteem was being stripped away! But Talia just took the mask away quickly, leaving Kallen empty-handed.
“…”
Talia put her hand to her ear and said nothing.
As if waiting to hear Kallen's words.
"Thank you, Master Tata..."
Kallen bit her lip and whimpered.
"Well, sister Kallen, wouldn't it be better if it was like this sooner?"
Talia asked her with a pleased smile on her face.
"Tata, uh..."
Lanci was a little worried that Talia was taking it too far.
From his point of view, he didn't really care about what Kallen did, and he wasn't even very impressed.
"!"
Kallen looked at Lanqi as if she had found her savior. Her hazy eyes, with a hint of confusion and charm, seemed to tell Lanqi that as long as he helped her persuade Tata, she would do anything for him.
This honest man whom she once looked down upon, now seemed like her last straw!
Even though she had mocked and humiliated him, tortured him in public during the Platinum Card Creator Exam, and reported him, he still let bygones be bygones and gave her a fair score. He and Loren were both gentlemen, and they would definitely not make things difficult for her!
However, this look.
Talia caught it in an instant.
The mask in her hand broke into pieces with just one grasp.
Kallen was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at Lanqi anymore.
The disgust in Talia's eyes grew even stronger, frightening Kallen to the point of trembling, but Talia quickly hid herself.
She took Lanqi's hand and took a step towards Kallen. She accidentally stepped on the mask and broke it into pieces, making a clear sound.
In the reflection of Kallen’s wide-open eyes, the pure white mask was completely shattered into pieces.
"As long as you wear this mask, no one will be able to tell who you are. This punishment is actually very mild. Instead of sincerely thanking me, you even tried to bargain with me. Don't you have any remorse in your heart?"
Talia asked, staring at Kallen.
Her eyes were full of compassion, as if she was considering how to really punish Kallen.
"I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong! Master Tata!"
Kallen shook her head desperately. She didn't dare to hesitate this time. She felt like she was about to suffocate. Now she only regretted looking at Lanqi just now. She didn't dare to provoke this gray-haired witch again.
"Don't cry anymore, pick it up and I'll put it together for you."
Talia leaned down gently, lightly lifted Kallen's chin with her index finger, and spoke in a gentler tone.
"!"
Kallen blew her nose for a moment, widened her eyes, and dared not let any more tears fall.
She crawled on the ground, grabbed the pieces, and handed them to Talia reverently, as if she had found true dependence.
"If you obey, you will be rewarded; if you disobey, you will be punished. Do you understand?"
Talia quickly repaired the mask with one hand using the tools in the card-making workshop, and turned around to hand it to Kallen.
The originally flawless white mask now became full of cracks like spliced porcelain.
"Understood, Master Tata."
Kallen nodded repeatedly and answered while suppressing her crying voice.
"Okay, I'll give you a minute to change and then come out."
After Talia finished speaking, she took Lanqi's hand and left the VIP card-making room.
She looked relieved and raised her eyebrows at Lanqi.
“…”
Lanqi stood outside the door, not knowing what to say.
He was now somewhat certain that there was no need for fusion, the Great Poet of Love was just a female imp pretending to be a sadist, and Talia was the real queen.
strong enough.
Less than a minute.
The door lock made a few noises, and it seemed as if Kallen was holding the notice board with one hand and trying several times with the other hand with trembling hands before she finally opened the lock.
Submitting to Talia's request, Kallen walked out of the card-making room with a deep sense of awkwardness, and every step felt like walking on the edge of a knife.
She was seen wearing swimming trunks, hugging the cardboard tightly, using the cardboard to press her chest, but despite this, her sides and back were still exposed.
"Go stand in front of the Card Creators Association until five o'clock in the afternoon."
Talia checked the time and said to Kallen.
“…”
Kallen nodded, trying to avoid having her tears seen by Talia, and ran away holding the cardboard.
Not long after.
Talia was not in a hurry. She took Lanqi downstairs and came to the floor-to-ceiling glass window on the third floor of the association.
Looking down, I saw that the vast square below the Pariel Card Makers Association was slowly gathering a crowd of onlookers.
Kallen stood there, holding a cardboard sign that read "Lord Tata, I was wrong." The mask concealed her facial expression but could not hide the trembling and stiff movements of her body.
Some were confused, some were curious, and some were whispering to each other, wondering why the young woman was putting on such a bizarre display.
Kallen felt extremely tormented and cool. Every look directed at her was like a sharp knife piercing her heart. She stood there like an exhibit, being scrutinized by countless eyes. Her heart was filled with confusion and fear, as well as anger - anger towards Talia, and anger towards herself for giving in to such unreasonable demands...
Her tears flowed secretly behind the mask, and her sense of dignity and self-worth were almost shattered at this moment.
"What a pervert..."
"Children, don't look at this..."
“Is this performance art?”
"Maybe this will excite her more?"
There was constant discussion.
Kallen's ears turned red and her legs kept shaking, but as if she could feel the gaze from the sky behind her, she could only endure the humiliation and continued to shed tears.
At the same time, Talia stood in front of the French window upstairs, looking at the square below.
From this angle, she could clearly see Kallen.
"Very good. The greater the gap between heaven and hell, the more she will do everything she can to hold on to all the vanity she has now."
Talia said with satisfaction.
All she needs to do next is to tell Karin, "You don't want me to make public your identity as a masked nympho under the Card Creators Association, and make your hard-earned platinum-level card maker status a laughing stock, do you?" Talia believes that Karin will listen to her.
She led Lanci down the stairs of the Card Makers Guild.
When they finally reached the entrance and passed through a door several meters high, the view of the square was revealed before them.
"How's it going, Lanky?"
Talia, who had just left the Card Creators Guild building, glanced at Lanqi and asked.
She believed that Lanqi saw with her own eyes how Karen fell into the abyss step by step.
From the moment Kallen compromised for the first time, it was destined that as long as Talia was willing, no matter what she asked Kallen to do, she would be able to do it slowly.
"As expected of Master Tata."
Lanqi responded from the bottom of his heart.
“…”
Talia listened to Lanqi imitating Kallen's tone just now and thought he was a fool.
Full of sarcasm and ridicule.
It seemed that not only was he not afraid of her, but he was also eager to play a mind game with her with all his strength, the kind where he would be doomed if he lost.
"You are so beautiful and so powerful."
Lanqi added.
"Then let's continue our date?"
Talia hugged his left arm, snuggled into his shoulder and asked softly.
She wanted to see whether Lanqi could not bear it first or she could not bear it first.
Let's just hurt each other.
"Well, let's go."
Lanqi paused for half a second, and his face covered in shadows finally revealed a calm smile and nodded to her.
The two men walked past Kallen's sight.
When Karen saw the sweet figure of this couple, and thought that she had lost all her dignity like an animal, a feeling of grievance surged in her heart, and her body trembled even more violently.
