Chapter 601: Chapter 254: Naturalist Knight Mula

"What the hell happened, what did you just do to her?"

"Why did her demeanor change so much, the way she looks at you is so..."

"Damn it, say something!"

In the villa garden, Veronica turned into a human hairdryer, straddling Wayne, demanding that he explain everything clearly.

Saina had already left, showing warm concern for Wayne before she went, repeatedly looking back with lingering affection in her eyes that were filled with reluctance to part.

Veronica saw it all very clearly, Saina’s insincere glances were one thing, but the way she twisted her waist was so exaggerated and fake; it was clearly a performance for Wayne’s benefit.

The way she swayed her waist, anyone who knew would think it was Dragon Blood, but those who didn’t might mistake it for snake blood.

In any case, something was very wrong.

Veronica was convinced that something had happened between them when she wasn’t looking.

Bang!

"Don’t play dead, talk!"

Veronica punched Wayne in the face, her eyes red with anger.

"There’s nothing much to say, that woman was clearly trying to provoke you on purpose, you had to take the bait, and now you want me to explain..."

Wayne was beyond exasperation, he sighed and said, "Could it be possible, since you both have Dragon Blood, she knew you were naive, a little trick and you’d surely fall for it, then use you to get back at me?"

"What do you mean?"

"I just gave her a hard time, and she couldn’t retaliate against me, so she had to find a way to do that through you."

"..."

Veronica clutched her fist, hovering in mid-air, unsure whether to punch or not.

She straightened things out and let Wayne explain exactly what happened just now that caused Saina’s attitude to do a one-eighty.

Wayne shrugged, picked up Veronica to sit on the wicker chair, and began to read from a prepared strategy, "You know my situation, Dragon Blood can’t affect me, and Saina was doomed to fail from the start. With her personality, she would never suffer a loss. If she hadn’t thought I was still of some use, she would have turned against me long ago."

Seeing Veronica’s expression hadn’t changed, her fist still clenched tightly, Wayne continued, "She tried to infuse me with Dragon Blood and failed. I took the opportunity to snatch the Dragon Blood from her, causing her substantial losses..."

"Just when she was about to take back the Dragon Blood by force, I demonstrated the potential of the Protogenos Bloodline, mending our cooperative relationship, and even made her swear not to retaliate against me in any way to maintain our unbreakable alliance."

"As a trade-off, I revealed to her some truths, including our true relationship and the reason we were participating in the Holy Maiden selection..."

"Because of the oath, Saina was extremely annoyed but unable to retaliate directly against me. Upset about losing the Dragon Blood and being played by me, she turned her attention to you."

At this, Wayne pressed down on Veronica’s fist, his voice tinged with disappointment, "While I was inside, working my ass off, enduring so much trouble and humiliation, I almost got killed by her, and there you were, getting all fired up at me over a mere flirtatious glance from her."

"I’m sorry, I was wrong..."

Veronica looked down, her face red with embarrassment. She was wrong, had acted impulsively, and promised to change her behavior next time.

But it wasn’t entirely her fault, the Old Witch’s acting skills were too good, with those silky seductive looks, they didn’t seem feigned at all.

"That’s too quiet."

Wayne pinched Veronica’s cheek, raised his fist, and lightly tapped her head, "But let’s forget it, since it’s you. No matter how unreasonable you get, I’ll forgive you time and time again."

You’re the best!

Veronica’s heart melted, and she kissed Wayne on his face.

This modest reward was clearly not enough for Wayne; even when he was being unreasonable, he could argue his way out of it. Now, having been so wronged and his character assassinated, he stood on moral high ground, gripping Veronica tightly, sucking on her fiercely.

Veronica, caught in Wayne’s expert kissing, didn’t manage to summon any of the Dragon Blood’s power.

After a while, Wayne licked his lips, still wanting more, and continued to dig into Veronica’s guilt, "You also showed irrationality during the last photo incident, with zero trust in me. Hasn’t there been any progress since then?"

"Last time was different..."

Veronica felt ashamed, burying her head in Wayne’s shoulder and decisively shifting the blame, "I learned it from my mother, I saw her get angry, so I got angry too."

"Alright, I’ll trust you once more, just because you’re Veronica."

Wayne sighed, lamenting that his life was over, completely at the mercy of love, without any recourse.

Veronica, listening, beamed like a flower in full bloom, her eyes squinting joyfully.

Wayne patted his behind, "You did well this time, not causing a scene in front of Saina. I suppose I can say you’ve made some progress. The diary was not for nothing."

Thrilled by the praise, Veronica secretely rejoiced. Seeing Wayne carry her toward the house, her face tinged with red, she said, "What are you doing, you’re not healed yet..."

"Don’t you know whether I’m injured or not?"

Wayne chuckled, "In recognition of your decent performance today, I’m also going to give you two rewards. I got six bottles of Dragon Blood from the basement; I’m giving you two."

"Hmm."

Veronica, wrapping her arms around Wayne’s neck, then said, "You really know how to deceive women, the Old Witch is so clever, yet you managed to trick six bottles of Dragon Blood from her."

"It wasn’t without a price, when I was undergoing the Dragon Blood transformation, my heart nearly tore apart."

Wayne kept revealing devastating information, noting Veronica’s worried expression, he added, "It’s all worth it. Two bottles for you, two for the teacher, and another two for Megan. If she doesn’t need them, they’ll be divided between you and the teacher."

"Megan has some too?" Veronica tilted her head.
