Chapter 387 Passionate Banquet
The banquet was set to be held on the fifth floor’s arcane hall.
It was the first time that Greem had attended a formal large-scale adept’s banquet since his advancement.
As the protagonist of the show, Greem had been put to work by Sir Fügen before the banquet had started. The two of them were to greet their guests at the doors of the hall.
Fanny’s Cottage.
Mandasor Academy.
Sunflower Garden.
The Arthur Clan.
Greem had already come up with a conclusion about the nature of the adepts before this- all adepts were selfish, arrogant, narcissistic beings that lacked restraints from an external force. Consequently, all their actions were reckless and dangerous.
However, now that he saw the passionate looks that all the young female adepts were giving him, he added an addendum to that conclusion of his! The adepts were wild!
All the young adepts were exceptionally beautiful. The way they dressed also exposed a great deal of skin.
The carefully tailored adept’s robes didn’t obscure their perfect curves. In fact, they further emphasized their full bosoms. The cut in their skirts that ran almost all the way to their stomachs completely put their thighs on display.
With all these sexy and seductive female adepts teasing him and rubbing their bodies against his, even the apathetic and uninterested Greem had to tug at his collar a little and down a couple of glasses of chilled wine.
Greem might claim to be one of those with ‘plenty of experiences,’ but most of his experience remained in the memories of his past life. Compared to him, any one of these female adepts could easily be considered a true veteran of lust and desire. A few of their tricks were all they needed to silence a rookie like Greem.
Fortunately, just as Greem was about to crack under the teasing of the passionate adepts and run away awkwardly, someone came to his rescue. Meryl. She had been wandering around the hall with no real aim.
Greem nodded apologetically at the female adepts out of courtesy and grabbed Meryl’s arm. He then pretended to have an intimate conversation with her as he dragged her to a corner of the hall.
“Hehe,” Meryl couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle, “Who would have known? Sir Greem isn’t all that good at dealing with these passionate witches. …I wasn’t talking to you just now. I was talking to Sir Greem. You should have seen that. Sir Greem was so awkward when he was chased around by a group of female adepts earlier.”
The latter half of Meryl’s words weren’t directed at Greem. She was pressing her right ear and talking with someone else under her breath.
Greem looked over to her ears and was shocked to find the Qiraji Crystal that Meryl had put by her ears and cleverly concealed with some spells.
“You… you’ve been talking with Alice all this while?” Greem was tongue-tied.
“Yea, I know… ” Meryl balled her hands into fists as she excitedly said, “Lady Alice is way too cool. She’s got her own enormous adept’s tower. She even made me describe everything happening in the banquet earlier. We were having so much fun.”
Greem felt himself sweat at the mere thought of what was happening. As expected, the gossipy nature of girls was the same no matter which world you happened to stumble into!
Forty or fifty thousand miles away, and they still tried to perform instant communications. Women were the scariest when they wasted resources like this.
“Sir Greem, do you want to talk to Lady Alice?” Meryl lifted her head and looked towards Greem.
Greem hesitated for a moment and firmly rejected the offer.
Meryl whispered into the crystal and started chuckling. Greem could vaguely hear Alice’s crisp and entertained laugh from the other end.
He tugged his collar again.
For some reason, the room felt even warmer now!
