Chapter 724: War Between People
"Oh, you think you can fool me with this little trick? Sandone, I am no longer the same person I used to be."
Zuo Xi smiled and then took a sip of tea in a very pretentious manner. He knew there was something fishy going on. Alechino was still trying to set a trap for him at this time.
The same goes for Sandoni. He came here just to cause trouble for him. Do these people have no other fun besides cheating others?
"Yes, yes, yes, who can deceive you, my Lord God? You stayed in my bedroom all night without coming out. Only gods are worthy of being gods, right? I am not worthy. I am leaving now..."
Sandone was at the side, acting sarcastic and having inherited the true teachings of Lin Daiyu. Zuo Xi, who was openly and covertly dissed and ignored, had a strange look on her face, as if she had eaten a fly.
"Be more normal, I'm scared..."
Seeing this, Sandonie didn't argue with Zuo Xi. Her purpose of coming to Fontaine was different from others. She came here to relax.
Because the topic that he had been working on before is now meaningless, and the fact that machines can also have their own souls has also been proved by Zuo Xi.
So now, she suddenly became a little idle.
She stepped out of the laboratory and began to visit the scenery she had never seen before. Before she knew it, she walked to the church and met Columbia.
Then, she was led by Columbia to Fontaine by some strange coincidence... It was definitely not because she wanted to come to Fontaine! It was not because she missed Zuo Xi! It was even more impossible that she was afraid that Zuo Xi, this playboy, would be flirting with other girls again!
It turned out that she had come to the right place. She had just arrived in Fontaine when she caught him spending the night in the room of a female god... Tsk, how long had he been in Fontaine? He had already developed a new network of contacts so quickly.
"Anyway, since you're here now, why don't you all show up at the diplomatic conference?"
People have already been delivered to the door, and with the mentality of not wasting their time, Zuo Xi has to let them play some role.
They didn't have to do anything, just put on the mask and sit there during the meeting, which was an invisible pressure. Even if Villette himself came, they still had the advantage in numbers.
"Okay, it's pretty boring anyway... tonight... can you go shopping with me tonight?"
Sandoni was quite straightforward. Seeing that it was useless to be roundabout with Zuo Xi, a shameless guy, he just went for it.
After so many years together, they are already an old married couple. But even with such directness, Sandoni still blushed slightly. Go shopping... You didn't say where to go specifically, right?
Then she would naturally go to places that interested her. And she was quite interested in Zuo Xi's room...
"Hahaha... no problem. There are many places worth seeing in Fontaine. It would be nice to take a walk together at night."
The naive Zuo Xi hasn't thought of that yet. He still thinks that Sandone is just belatedly in love and is beginning to yearn for some romantic dates... It can only be said that Zuo Xi is still too young and doesn't understand how ferocious an old woman is.
"You two have a great relationship... Can you please keep your flirting behind others' backs? It would be annoying for us if you treat everyone as air."
After watching for a long time, Alechino couldn't bear it anymore. Although she looked cold and emotionless, she was actually only in her twenties.
That is because of the special nature of her job and the special environment she grew up in, otherwise she would be at an age where she is sensitive to love and other things.
Although she doesn't care much about this kind of thing now, in fact, she wouldn't mind too much even if these two people took off their clothes and broadcast it live... Well, let her go in that case.
However, even though she didn't care much, it was still a bit too much to go so close to him and use her ultimate skill... It was all her own fault. She should have known better and would not have given these two people the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
When she thought about the fact that she gave them a reason to flirt, Arlecino couldn't help but sigh at the importance of choices in life. Even she would often choose the wrong option.
"...Huh...Is it burned?"
Someone took the lead in expressing dissatisfaction, and Rosalin naturally followed closely. After taking a deep breath, she smiled with passion on her sunny face.
Like theirs, they are usually burned.
“No, don’t say such scary things with a smile on your face, okay… Uwaaa… You’ll have nightmares tonight.”
Paimon really couldn't accept the executive's jokes and way of conversation at this level in such a short period of time. If she didn't know that these people had a very good relationship, she would have interpreted the scene just now as a tense situation.
Seriously, why are all the executive officers these horrible guys?
"Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten... Why can you two enter and exit the important bases of the Fatui so naturally and casually? Alechino, is this a tourist spot of yours? Is this a place where anyone can come in whenever they want?"
Paimon's words successfully attracted the attention of others, and with Sandoni's reminder, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
There's no way around it. Sandone has always been unfriendly to the travelers... It's not her fault. As a woman, it's really hard for her to be friendly to someone who always sticks to her boyfriend.
If it weren't for Zuo Xi's sake, she would have attacked these two people long ago... As for now, without using Zuo Xi's power or seeking external help, she probably can't beat the Traveler.
"You're going too far, aren't you? I'm just a guest here, you don't want to chase me away, right? And as far as I know, Hearth House is an independent organization, it can't be completely considered a base of the Fatui.
The same goes for other places...those workshops are Zuo Xi's private places, I just went to a friend's house to play!"
Because she had been beaten, Ying became much tougher.
She used to be timid among a group of executives, but now she can beat most of them!
"You're so shameless... Hey, is your shamelessness contagious? Um... I have to reconsider whether I want to live with you."
Sandonie's defense is quite strong. As far as Zuo Xi can remember, she has never seen her defense broken. In comparison, Ying is much simpler. When she gets angry, she has no strength at all. Sandonie can take it without any effort.
As for the others, they chose to remain silent in tacit understanding and with good sense, whether it was Rosaline who had just clamored to burn the couple to death, or Alechino, the host.
Smart people should learn to avoid disputes that are harmful and useless. The current dispute between the two women obviously has nothing to do with them. If they speak rashly, they might attract the fire of one of them.
After all, even if Sandonie didn't say anything, they were aware that they were too close to Zuo Xi. It would be fine if they didn't bring it up, but once they intervened in the dispute, the murderous Sandonie might settle old scores.
It’s not that they are that scared, nor that they feel guilty...it’s just that there’s no need to do so, okay?
"Alas...you are all grown ups but still quarreling like children. Paimon is more mature than you."
Seeing the two of them quarreling fiercely, Zuo Xi pulled Paimeng over and hugged him. It must be said that Paimeng was so soft to the touch that he wanted to raise one.
"Paimon is not a pet, don't touch me! Hey! Listen to what Paimon says!"
Paimon was honest and upright. Although she said no, her resistance was almost non-existent. If you ask why she was so bold... it was because she knew what would happen next.
"Two great meals, plus a dessert specially made by Nata."
"make a deal!"
Yes, generally in this case Zuo Xi would give her a certain amount of reward or compensation. She refused at first, but what Zuo Xi promised was so delicious!
Zuo Xi's move of diverting trouble was very effective. The two people who were originally at loggerheads instantly turned their attention to Paimeng. And poor Paimeng was still immersed in the fantasy of the feast promised by Zuo Xi and couldn't extricate himself... Paimeng was really useful, in every sense.
……
"...Sandoni."
Zuo Xi walked on the quiet street, and the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong. This place was so secluded, what was there to see?
"what happened?"
Sandoni on the side did not show any unusual expression, as if Zuo Xi was just worrying too much.
"...No, nothing. Let's continue shopping..."
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Zuo Xi always felt that Sandonie was leading him into the path intentionally or unintentionally... Out of trust, Zuo Xi didn't send out his perception to explore, but if he went further, he would enter the sewer area, right?
Could it be that this is what Sandoni likes, and he likes secluded places?
It doesn't seem impossible. After all, he and Sandoni are both technical geeks in nature. They both like to stay in a dark little corner, or simply stay in the workshop without going out for ten days or half a month.
I hope that's true. Otherwise, could it be that Sandoni was greedy for his body but was embarrassed to behave too recklessly in the Hearth House, so he took him to a remote place and executed him there?
He admitted that this girl was quite tough, but not to this extent... After all, this was happening outside, and in another country, so it shouldn't be... that bad, right?
Zuo Xi suddenly began to feel a little uncertain. Thinking about it carefully, with Sandone's unbridled and arrogant personality, she might be able to do such a thing.
After all, she dared to drug him in front of the Queen's camera, so what else could she not do?
"This is it."
Just as I was feeling uneasy, Sandonie, who was walking beside me, suddenly stopped.
Zuo Xi's heart skipped a beat and she turned to look at Sandone... Her face was flushed at this moment, and pink bubbles were popping out of her eyes.
This is not a special effect, there are really pink hearts in her eyes!
Zuo Xi suddenly realized something...it wasn't just this group of executives who came to Fontaine—that bastard Xiao Xi was here too!
Spicy balls!
……
"Brother...are you nervous?"
At the front desk of the Opiclay Opera House, the siblings Linny and Linette stood stiffly at the reception desk, like two trembling statues.
"How...how could that be? When have you ever seen me perform on stage...I would get nervous?"
Linny's mouth was quite hard, even though his facial muscles were twitching and every muscle in his body was tense with tension, his mouth was as calm as always... if only he didn't stutter when he spoke.
"Brother, you're starting to stutter when you speak... just stop being so stubborn in front of me, okay?"
Linnet ruthlessly exposed her brother's stubborn behavior. He was obviously extremely nervous, and it was obvious that he wouldn't lose anything if he admitted it... She didn't know what he was trying to achieve by being so stubborn.
"You...you still have the nerve to say that to me? You've already become as tense as a board... Come to think of it, Linnet, you're also very nervous, aren't you?"
Linnet was not much better than Linny. Both of them were in a very tense state both physically and mentally.
Indeed, the two of them on stage cooperated seamlessly, their timing was just right, and their control of the atmosphere was impeccable.
But they haven't even reached the stage yet, have they? Just because they won't be nervous on stage doesn't mean they can be that calm off stage.
"Alas..." *2
Linny and Linnet looked at each other and sighed at the same time. It was not their fault that they had poor mental quality. The main reason was that the audience lineup was beyond their expectations.
"...Who would have thought that there would be five executive officers coming to watch this performance...If I had known earlier, I would have spent more time on the magic itself."
Father, Brother, Puppet, Girl, Lady... If it weren't for the fact that Young Master preferred to fight outside, the audience for this magic show would probably include half of the Executives.
Not to mention the magic show, even if we announced to the public that this was the beginning of the invasion of Fontainebleau, I believe no one would doubt it, right?
For the two members of the Fatui, the pressure brought by this luxurious lineup is really extraordinary... Who would have thought that so many executive officers came to Fontaine without any serious business, and their minds were only on eating, drinking and having fun?
"So... so why did you have to pull me over here... I obviously can't help at all..."
Femini, who was hiding behind the two men, was about to cry. He was the most innocent one. The reason he appeared here was because Linny and Linnette forced him here.
"Femini, we are a family... Family members should share the hard times, right? Femini, you can't escape!"
Linnett's tone was unusually heated, and if what she was doing wasn't a bit inhumane to Femini, her words would have been barely justifiable.
In fact, Linny and Linnette called Femini over not just to share the pressure, but mainly because Femini had never formally met so many executives, and the two of them did not want him to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
However, it is hard to say that this kind of situation where executives gather together around Zuo Xi is "rarely seen".
