Chapter 315: Chapter 311: Treasured Red Wine

Mu Ying brushed aside the hand that Lady Sharon was trying to place on her neck, pulling Liu Luoluo away from Sharon’s side, "Lady Sharon should have a little more self-respect."

Was this Vampire Lady one of those who went both ways?

She had a vampire man following her and was spreading her Charm everywhere.

Although Sharon was indeed very good-looking, attractive to both men and women, Mu Ying was only interested in the fuzzy types, not the facially attractive ones; her mind was quite clear, this was a vampire!

Getting caught probing for her information didn’t make her feel guilty in the slightest.

Enemies, isn’t probing for information a basic operation? It’s just a pity that she couldn’t probe clearly.

"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been touchy, Lord Sister, you’re just too good-looking, I couldn’t help myself," Sharon retracted her hand, leaning on the bar with a charming giggle, her exquisite figure revealed without a doubt, and her voice sounded like it had little hooks in it.

In the tavern, whether man or woman, they couldn’t help but sneak a glance at her from time to time.

For a moment, Mu Ying also felt that she was particularly charming, but after the small ears of her figurine Shi Yin swept across her jaw, she immediately came to her senses, "Stop using your Charming Ability, I’m going to add this rule to the territory’s regulations right now, intentional mental influence also counts as a violation."

Sharon blinked innocently.

Mu Ying lightly tapped her finger and immediately updated the third rule of the territory, "No form of malicious strife is allowed within the territory, including but not limited to physical and mental influence."

She had effectively blocked every path for Sharon.

Sharon’s expression stiffened slightly, how could her Charming Ability be ineffective against such a world-inexperienced little thing?

"Ah ha, what is Sister saying? Are you complimenting me on my looks?" Although she said this, Sharon had already withdrawn her Charm.

After all, this was within the human territory, and rules set by the Lord could not be disobeyed.

While the Lord couldn’t suppress her with force through rules alone, there was no problem in expelling anyone who didn’t follow the rules from the territory.

Unless your strength could overpower the protective ability of the territory.

Mu Ying took a sip of her sour branch fruit tea noncommittally, living up to the ’sour’ in its name; it was indeed quite tarty, refreshing, and mentally stimulating.

By now, many of the tavern’s players had taken their eyes off Sharon and the vampire man behind her.

Looking again, they would find both of them stunningly beautiful, but they wouldn’t stare indiscreetly like before.

Some even developed a hint of defiance in their hearts.

That’s because everyone’s standard of beauty is different, and preferences vary. Before the apocalypse, information exchange was so convenient; real and virtual beautiful faces were common sights, and no one was truly capable of bewitching everyone to that extent.

Most people would simply look and move on; in reality, beauty could amaze, but it was not enough to make people lose their senses.

This uncontrolled thought process, this sudden retrieval of rationality, made many feel uncomfortable.

Coupled with what Mu Ying had said, their alertness surged.

No matter how beautiful a threatening person was, they were still a viperous beauty.

Luoluo also sensed that Mu Ying’s attitude toward Sharon was not very normal.

Although she had just had a pleasant chat with Sharon, and because of the movies and TV shows she had been exposed to before the apocalypse, she had a fondness for vampires, they had only just met.

Knowing Mu Ying, she wouldn’t target someone without reason.

So this Sharon might really have some issues.

So at this moment, Liu Luoluo was standing behind Mu Ying, remaining silent.

After all, she should be on Mu Ying’s side. Not to mention her personal integrity, the boss often raised their salary and even handed out bonuses during the holidays!

"Boss, bring me a bottle of your finest red wine; I want to treat these two beautiful ladies to a drink!" Lady Sharon called out to Mrs. Marlin.

Mrs. Marlin had never seen a Vampire before, but even though she noticed that the Lord and Lady Sharon seemed to be at odds, she remained fairly composed.

However, when it came to the best red wine, she didn’t hold back and gave Bruce a knowing glance.

Quickly, Bruce brought out a long wooden box from the wine cabinet. "This is a treasured wine made by the tavern itself, brewed by my father back in his time. This is the last bottle we have, and it’s nearly a hundred years old."

"This one will do," although it wasn’t made by any famous winemaker, it was probably the best the tavern could offer, Sharon said.

"It’s yours for 10 Gold Coins," Bruce said with a sycophantic smile.

The expressions on the surrounding gamers were priceless.

This bottle of wine was famous; which regular tavern-goer hadn’t heard Bruce boast about his own winemaking skills and the tavern’s family history?

In that story, his father was portrayed as a tough character who had managed to run the tavern into the ground with his winemaking skills, serving as a contrast to Bruce himself.

Yes, what Bruce said was absolutely true—the wine’s age and origin were indeed genuine, and it really was a treasured item, the last of its bottle.

But it was treasured because it was otherwise unsellable, and the reason there was only one bottle left was that everyone in the territory had heard the story and wouldn’t take it even if it was given away for free, so as not to taint their palates.

One could say, it was a bottle of wine that had value only in terms of its age and sentimental significance.

Gold Coins, what a swindler!

However, everyone managed to suppress the urge to criticize, as the sensation of being affected by the Charming Ability was quite unpleasant.

This included Mu Ying.

If it weren’t for the entertainment value, she would have declined the invitation long ago.

Gold Coins, and just from this transaction alone, the territory would reap a tax of 50 silver coins.

Nobody could stop her from making money, especially when it was at her opponent’s expense.

Lady Sharon clearly had money, only showing slight disdain for the quality of the wine without thinking it was overpriced. With a flick of her hand, ten Gold Coins appeared and landed on the table.

Bruce hurried to open the wine box and handed it to her, then took the money and retreated with Mrs. Marlin to the other side of the bar.

Lady Sharon tilted her chin back towards the man behind her, "Pour the wine for the two beautiful ladies."

Liu Luoluo hastily waved her hands, her expression somewhat stiff, "Didn’t we agree to go Dutch? I may be poor, but I don’t like taking advantage of others; I’ll just order something for myself."

Having said this, as if fearing being slow would result in having to endure the wine bought with such a hefty amount of Gold Coins, she quickly asked Bruce for a Pink Rose wine.

Mu Ying had made some money and even managed to trick Sharon, so her mood had slightly improved, even showing a hint of a smile on her face, "I’m underage, I can’t drink; please enjoy it yourself."

This excuse was effective without fail.

Though from the perspective of humans and the green witch, she was already 18 and considered an adult.

But she was also an Elf, and by Elvish growth standards, she could use this excuse to refuse drinks for a few hundred more years.

Lady Sharon: "..."
