Fu Ke Si's face darkened instantly. His frozen right hand trembled slightly on the table, making a clicking sound, while his left hand clenched into a fist.
"Hahaha!"
Talus and Gustav burst into laughter, bending over backwards as if they were about to crawl under the table.
Jinx and Hai Wei De were desperately trying to suppress their laughter. One was looking up at the crystal chandelier above, while the other was looking down, trying to focus on a small black dot on the table in front of him. Their bodies were trembling uncontrollably.
"Pfft... Hahaha! I can't hold back anymore, Fu Ke Si. Actually, I've been wanting to tell you this for a while, but I didn't expect your ass to be so white... Hahahaha!" In the end, Hai Wei De couldn't help but laugh wildly at Fu Ke Si.
"Hahaha! You saw it too? Me too! Hahahaha!" Jinx burst into laughter, tears welling up in his eyes from holding it in for so long.
Yabemia slowly turned her head to the side, trying hard not to laugh, but the thought of a serious-looking Fu Ke Si being forced to run naked made her lips involuntarily curl into a smile.
"Alex… I didn't expect him to be this kind of person. But this guy isn't a good person. He must have done this to punish him back then, right? I just wonder if the princess was with him at the time?" Sally's eyes flashed with a few surprises and doubts, and a trace of… regret.
"Running around naked? Does that mean running around outside without clothes? Ugh—this scoundrel is shameless!" Amy glanced at Fu Ke Si, her expression full of disdain.
"Is that so?" Mai Ge, who was in the kitchen, was also stunned. He had no memory of this incident and did not know Fu Ke Si. It seemed that Irina was also by his side when this happened.
Fu Ke Si took a deep breath to calm himself down, then looked at Dracula with a hint of sarcasm and said, "Heh, Dracula, aren't you vampires supposed to only drink blood and never eat vegetables? I heard that back then, Princess Irina of the elven race forced you to eat grass for three days, and even dyed your hair grass green."
Dracula's smile froze instantly, as if recalling something unbearable. His expression gradually contorted, and a sickly flush rose on his pale face.
"Pfft—hahaha, I remember that! It was in Demon Square, a live performance of vampires eating grass, and they even sold tickets—ten silver coins a ticket! The line almost stretched outside the square. I bought a ticket too. It was the first time I'd ever seen vampires eat grass so deliciously!" Talus slapped his thigh, laughing so hard he was almost out of breath.
"I saw it too, and I even bought an encore ticket. I went home specifically to bring my son to see it. It provided all my laughs that year." Gustav also had an excited expression.
"Holy crap! You...you guys are still teammates?" Dracula looked at Talus and Gustav with a pained expression.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I even flew there specifically to see it—vampires eating grass! It's the first time I've ever seen anything like it in my life. I never imagined that the vampire happily munching on grass was you." Jinx looked at Dracula in astonishment, then continued laughing.
Yabemia wore an expression of barely suppressed amusement, trying hard not to laugh.
"Irina?" Mai Ge was somewhat surprised, but imagining a vampire being forced to eat grass, and even having to eat it with relish, he couldn't help but laugh too. That girl was truly extraordinary.
And to actually sell tickets for people to visit this kind of thing, is it to raise travel expenses? She ran away from the elven race back then, and she can travel all over the Nolan Continent by herself. She can't do it without some money-making ability. To come up with this method, she deserves full marks.
"Princess Irina!" Sally's eyes lit up. She had run away from home like Irina, and she never expected to hear news about her here. She thought to herself, "The princess is amazing! She really went to the Demon Island, and even made a level nine vampire eat grass. But why is she charging people to watch the show? Could it be...?!"
Sally's eyes widened in surprise. Why was she still in Chaos City? Besides being captivated by the delicious food at Restaurant Mai Mi, another reason was that she didn't have any money.
Only after leaving the Wind Forest did she realize that on the Nolan Continent, she could not get by without money.
Although elves are close to nature, but they cannot survive on dew alone, and they need to spend money on things like lodging and buying clothes in the city.
The daily wage of thirty copper coins at the small hotel made her realize how difficult it was to earn money, while Princess Irina's story of forcing a level nine vampire to eat grass and then selling tickets for ten silver coins seemed to open a door to a new world for her.
"So... this is how money can be made! Princess Irina is truly amazing..." Sally thought to herself with genuine admiration. If it was her, even if she could defeat that vampire, she would never do something like letting him eat grass in front of everyone while she collected money on the side.
"Uncle Bat, didn't you say you don't eat vegetables? Is that elf princess really that nice? She actually fed you grass!" Amy looked at Dracula excitedly, then put on a serious face like a little adult and said, "Be good, okay? You can't be picky about food. You have to eat a little bit of everything. That's what Daddy said."
Dracula turned sharply to look at Amy, his eyes widening. The image of the beautiful elf with the black whip, constantly offering him grass, kept echoing in his mind: "Be good, okay? Don't be picky about food, you have to eat a little of everything… Yes, eat with gusto…"
Hearing the exact same words again, even after five years, still gave Dracula the urge to kneel down. His brain trembled as he looked at Amy's delicate face, her large, azure eyes, and her exquisite little pointed ears, which slowly overlapped with the image of that female demon in his eyes.
"Impossible! They could never have a child!" Dracula shook his head vigorously, denying his own idea. He never expected that after so many years, he would still hear the same words from a little girl, and with such a worried expression that it was hard to resist.
"You win!" Dracula said through gritted teeth, staring at Fu Ke Si.
This first exchange was a fierce battle, a draw where both sides suffered heavy losses.
"Talus, don't laugh. I heard that back then, the spiky war boars that your abyssal demons raised in the abyss rioted because of Irina. You led a team to capture them, but you were chased by a bunch of boars all night long, right?" Jinx looked at Talus and laughed.
"Jinx, you have the nerve to talk back to me? Who was it that boasted about being the strongest in the world back then, then lost an arm wrestling match to Alex and called him 'Father' three times on the spot?" Talus mocked without any politeness.
"Gustav, you're very happy? I heard that someone tried to peep at the elf princess taking a bath and was trapped in the void by the Tree of Life for a year. When he came out, he was starving."
"Ha, Hai Wei De, you have the nerve to talk back to me? Wasn't that you the first person Alex encountered on Dragon Island? He thought you were too hot, so he kicked you into the sea, and you stayed there for three days before daring to surface."
...
"You can all go on and brag, I'll admit defeat if I say a single thing." Mai Ge stood in the kitchen, arms crossed, listening to both sides revealing each other's embarrassing secrets, laughing like a fool...
