Chapter 161 - He is unhappy
Chapter 161 - He is unhappy
As the night passed, the people of the capital heard about the fires that had been started at night—three fires.
In addition to Ningfei’s “designated bonfire sites”, the royal palace and the church estate, there was another place that also caught up with this “bonfire party”.
"Why, are you still sulking?"
Ning Fei sat on the red velvet sofa with a goblet in her hand, leaning back against the armrest. She raised her long legs and put her feet on the man's legs at the other end of the sofa: "Because I forced you last night, or because your house was also ordered?"
Yes, the third castle that was forced to become a "torch" to illuminate the night sky was Duan Yunhong, or Count Andrew's castle. Ning Fei wasn't too surprised when he heard the news, but he still couldn't help but burst out laughing. After laughing, he glanced at Duan Yunhong. Duan Yunhong's eyes were cold and it was hard to tell whether he was unhappy or not.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were only two of them at the moment, Ning Fei asked casually.
Duan Yunhong pushed his feet, but they didn't move. He could only let him hold it: "Is that also my home?"
Ning Fei was happy: "That's because you're unhappy about being raped by me."
Duan Yunhong: “…”
“Hahahaha…” Ning Fei laughed at his bored look and almost spilled the contents of the cup. He quickly steadied himself and took two big gulps so that the liquid didn't spill everywhere.
Duan Yunhong held his shaking feet and turned to look at him: "Drinking in the morning? Are you so happy?"
"It's just water. This casino hotel said that this is the only cup left for now, so I use this to drink water." Ning Fei handed the cup to the man, "You should drink some too, Lord Earl. Even if your house is still burning, at least you can put out the fire."
Duan Yunhong took it but didn't drink. He just held the cup tightly and said, "That's not my house. From the moment I came out with you, no matter what the house has become, it won't make me angry."
"To be honest, this fire must have been set deliberately by someone later." Ning Fei leaned against the armrest of the sofa again, with his arms crossed in front of his chest. "I put out all the sparks last time, so it won't rekindle. Before I came out, I gave your servants instructions, only asking them not to tell anyone about our actions, and to take whatever they wanted quickly, and leave quickly after the 'zero-dollar purchase'. Without my clear instructions, they wouldn't have set a fire unnecessarily.
"It's most likely a retaliation from the royal family or the church. Or maybe they thought we were still hiding in a corner of the castle, so they set fire to force us out."
"I said, it doesn't matter, just burn it." Duan Yunhong said coldly, "The things I didn't take with me are the garbage I have already discarded."
Ning Fei raised his eyebrows slightly: "How cruel, Mr. Duan. If you love someone, you will tolerate him/her in every possible way, but if you hate someone, you will discard him/her like a worn-out shoe?"
"You want to identify yourself?" Duan Yunhong heard his hidden meaning, "Then we can talk about the first half first. Although I can't express myself emotionally right now, perhaps this detached feeling will allow me to analyze my memory more rationally, and then talk to you about the details."
"No talk." Ning Fei refused decisively, and pointed with his index finger, "Besides, you even dislike the cup I used. How dare you talk about tolerance?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Yunhong lowered his eyes and looked at the cup.
In the past, he would have just drank from the bottle Ning Fei handed to him, as he had drunk from it before. But at this moment when the light magic was still having a strong influence, Duan Yunhong took the cup and unconsciously used it as a cup holder, without even thinking of actually taking a sip.
Even just sharing a cup would make him feel strongly about "blasphemy".
"Haha, it's just drinking water, is there any need to resist so much? So you have been sulking all day, is it because I forced you last night?" Ning Fei showed a nasty smile, "Then I have decided, I will do it tonight. Let you experience the feeling of collapse of 'faith collapse' again, how about it? Is it exciting?"
Duan Yunhong finally raised the glass and drank the water.
Ning Fei laughed even more arrogantly: "What are you doing? Are you just throwing away your money?"
Duan Yunhong put the cup aside and said, "I just didn't sleep well because the casino downstairs was too noisy at night and I couldn't let my guard down."
"Wow, I never thought that you would find a way to be stubborn in a place like this!" Ning Fei happily leaned against the back of the sofa, slightly raised his eyes and looked at the man half a meter away with a playful expression.
"Okay, then you have to make up for your sleep during the day, and then we can have some fun at night."
***
The hotel that Ning Fei chose after escaping from the castle was more like a supporting facility of a large casino than a hotel.
The advantages of choosing this place are obvious. In such a mixed place, no one will ask about the guests' origins. After all, most of the guests who hang out here have three or five crimes of varying degrees on their shoulders. Moreover, it gets more lively here as the night goes on. Even if two new guests come in the middle of the night, no one will pay attention. The gamblers here didn't even care about the three fires that broke out in the royal capital in the middle of the night. They were more concerned about the changes in the situation at the gambling table.
Therefore, choosing to stay here is more suitable than any hotel on the ordinary street. The only problem is that because it is run by a casino, you have to spend some money in the casino as an entry threshold. However, this is a threshold for ordinary people, but it is no problem for Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong who have a lot of gold coins.
As soon as the two came in yesterday, they threw a lot of chips on several gambling tables. No matter winning or losing, the main purpose is to give people the feeling that "I am here to gamble". Ning Fei didn't wear his iconic black cape, but a long straight black wig. His long bangs covered most of his face, making him look very gloomy. I'm afraid that people who have seen him before would find it difficult to recognize him again. Duan Yunhong didn't change much, except that he changed into wearing the coarse linen clothes of common people. But he just followed Ning Fei and acted low-key, so it was even less likely for the gamblers to know him.
The two of them walked around the casino and finally stopped in front of a huge gambling table.
To be precise, this is an odds table - the odds of which noble will be the next to be killed by "Devil Ningfei".
Ning Fei didn’t know how the casino calculated it, but they just wrote down the odds and held prize draws every seven days. If you guess correctly, you get money; if the deceased is not on the list, the dealer takes all. There is also a bigger name and odds next to it, which is the prediction of whether Ning Fei will be "caught" or "die" within these seven days.
"Tsk, how come my odds are only slightly higher than the king's." Ning Fei looked up at the form and raised his eyebrows. "The odds before the Pope's death were also very high. Wouldn't the casino lose a lot of money on the day of the lottery? How do these actuaries work?"
"In this kind of world, what serious actuaries can there be?" Amid the noise, only Duan Yunhong next to him heard his words and responded, "Moreover, in a world with this economic level, ordinary people should be prohibited from gambling, otherwise it will seriously affect productivity. However, this world does not prohibit ordinary people from gambling at all. The powerful and wealthy even set up casinos to suck the blood of ordinary people. This will only accelerate the complete collapse of society until the end of the world."
"What's so strange about this? What do the powerful people in this world do that doesn't accelerate the demise of the world? They will suck the blood of mosquitoes and will not hesitate to do so if it can make them richer in the present moment. It's just a temporary solution to quench thirst." Ning Fei said sarcastically, "You are affected by the light magic and can't help but think about what a normal world should be like. If you were your normal self, you would only think that these rotten and absurd things in this world are natural. A rotten pot deserves a rotten lid, and a rotten world deserves rotten rules."
Duan Yunhong looked at the blood-red word "death" under Ning Fei's name, and it seemed to hurt his eyes. He turned his head to look at Ning Fei: "In this kind of place, although they don't check our identities, we must be careful of someone trying to do something shady. We are carrying obvious luggage, so we are easy to be targeted."
"I said you were affected, but you're really worried." Ning Fei also turned his head and looked at him, "Take care of yourself. If worst comes to worst, I can just fly away. Leaving you behind can help me fend off the pursuers."
Duan Yunhong stared at him and said firmly: "You won't."
Ning Fei narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I will."
…
Then Duan Yunhong woke up from his sleep in the afternoon, and Ning Feizhen "ran away" leaving him behind.
The room is not big and you can check it all by just looking around. When he didn't find anyone at first glance, Duan Yunhong subconsciously sat up suddenly in bed and scanned again.
There is really no one. This room doesn't have a bathroom or other small rooms. If they are not in the same room, then he has gone out.
For some reason, Duan Yunhong recalled the first world where they met, and the morning when Ning Fei left.
That feeling should be very strong, but under the influence of light magic, Duan Yunhong couldn't muster up that familiar emotion. The feeling of dislocation once again made him feel annoyed. And this kind of irritability will only accumulate.
Ning Fei said in the morning that Duan Yunhong was angry because of the "forced night of love" last night. In fact, it was more due to the accumulation of irritability. Duan Yunhong rationally thought that he should enjoy this, but his emotions couldn't keep up, and while he was feeling depressed, the sensory stimulation was forced to occur. Ningfei plays with him, like a child testing the maximum pressure on a toy. It's not even a test, but it's heading towards breaking the limit. The more Duan Yunhong refused, the more Ning Fei forced him, and he made no effort to hide his malice.
Perhaps, Ning Fei just wanted to break the string of "endurance" and make Duan Yunhong fall in the direction of disgust.
——But he burned down the palace and the church, killed the Pope, and now he is trampling on me with impunity... Are you finally a little happy?
——Has he begun to vent the resentment deep in his heart?
Duan Yunhong tried hard to think rationally, quickly changed his clothes, and went downstairs to the casino to look for someone. Ning Fei's clothes were still in the room, so she definitely wasn't gone. Nine times out of ten, he just went downstairs to relieve his boredom.
Surprisingly not hard to find.
After all, it was still afternoon, and the casino had not yet become fully packed for the evening, so it was easy to check each gaming table. Although Ning Fei is not a mysophobe, he is not someone who likes dirt and mess. So Duan Yunhong went to look for a table that was cleaner and less crowded.
Ning Fei was sitting at a poker table with only four players.
There was a bottle of wine for his own use on the table, with a wine glass next to it and a cigarette in his hand on the other side. Those were the cigarettes Ning Fei had made in the castle before. They were not as strong as the tobacco in this world. Although he only brought very little luggage with him, Ning Fei took the entire box of cigarettes he made with him.
At this moment, he tied his long hair casually, and the exposed jawline made him look much more refreshed than yesterday. He also soon noticed Duan Yunhong who came over, but he didn't make any further movement. He just slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and then his slight smile could be vaguely seen in the smoke.
Duan Yunhong recalled that in the first world, one night, Ning Fei wanted to go out to smoke, but he told him not to go out. So Ning Fei sat by the bay window and leisurely lit a cigarette.
I was taking pictures secretly at that time... No, since Ning Fei found out, it could be considered as taking pictures openly.
Duan Yunhong clearly remembers every detail of that scene.
He thought: My bottom line is not so easy to be broken.
