#279 - Chapter 279 Mark
“Lord?”
“What did you just say? You’re going to a ball?”
“....”
Wuwu narrowed his eyes, looking at the Abyssal Lord before him.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you guys.”
Wuwu adjusted the details of his clothes using the illusion ability as he spoke.
“In a few hours, I’m going to a special plane, to a place called the War College, to attend a ball.”
“But don’t worry, because during that time, I will still be in the Lord Era.”
“So even if I am at the ball, I can still use my Lord privileges to observe your every move and issue corresponding orders.”
“Anyway, the current situation doesn’t really require me to personally command.”
“The Decaying Life is under the threat of the Great Devourer and dares not act rashly, and the Raven Perch has already been taken into our grasp. So, the only enemy we are still fighting is the Gaia consciousness in the Green Cage World, which has not yet awakened, and the few beasts in her plane.”
“You can easily deal with enemies of this level.”
“Especially since I have promised the Green Cage World to those demon heroes as a reward. Even if you and Druid don’t take action, those demon heroes will probably tear everything in the Green Cage World to pieces.”
As Wuwu spoke, he frowned because he noticed a very awkward problem.
That was that he didn’t seem to know how to handle the bow tie of this dress, and there were also a few inexplicable small ornaments on the dress.
He wasn’t sure what angle and position these ornaments should be placed on the dress.
Wuwu, who knew nothing about balls and high-level etiquette, was a bit confused.
“No, no, no, my dear Lord.”
“I’m not concerned about that.”
The Fallen Angel Leeds quickly stepped forward and grabbed Wuwu’s shoulders.
But she didn’t do anything else, instead very considerately adjusted Wuwu’s bow tie and ornaments. Seeing her so skilled, it was estimated that her erudition wasn’t limited to Abyssal knowledge.
This Fallen Angel also had a great knowledge reserve about many things in the real world.
“Lord, what I want to know is, are you considering…”
The Fallen Angel adjusted Wuwu’s bow tie, but with a little too much force.
The force made Wuwu feel a considerable sense of oppression.
“Finding some companions at the ball or something.”
Leeds showed a bright smile, but for some reason, Wuwu felt a hint of coldness behind her smile.
“Because I heard that the lords in this world basically find their partners through balls~”
“And I also heard that the customs in this world are relatively open.”
“So the men and women at the ball always relax their bodies and minds through the ball.”
“And do you have similar thoughts~”
“My dear Lord~?”
Hearing Leeds say this, Wuwu felt a little inexplicable.
He adjusted the bow tie himself and then explained.
“What are you talking about?”
“How could I have such naive ideas?”
“I am participating in that ball just to obtain the qualification to join the War College.”
“And my real purpose in joining the War College is just to obtain the resources we need for expansion.”
“As for partners, I don’t have any thoughts about that for the time being.”
“After all, in the Lord Era, there are too many lords who fight each other because of emotions.”
“In order to prevent this meaningless internal friction, focusing on the current war, emotions, or partners, must be abandoned.”
Hearing Wuwu say this, Leeds’ mood immediately relaxed a lot.
But it only relaxed for a moment.
Because Wuwu added after finishing his preparations.
“But really speaking of partners, I don’t think it’s impossible to consider.”
“After all, there will be many potential female lords at this ball, and all the lords who can participate in this ball are basically the top five in the other regions’ assessments.”
“If some of them have similar values to me, or have the rare resources I desire, marriage is also a good option.”
“Even using deceptive means to temporarily deceive them is not impossible.”
“After all, emotions are not important, what is important is the resources in their hands. Enough resources can rapidly increase my war potential in a short time!”
“So, I think I can actually consider trying it out at this ball, to find some suitable targets.”
“What do you think of this approach, Leeds?”
Okay.
This time, the Fallen Angel smiled even more happily.
But this time, the coldness in her eyes was even deeper.
“Of course, my dear Lord.”
“After all, you are the master of this territory, aren’t you?”
“But before that, I want to leave a little mark on you.”
“Trust me, Lord, this little mark can help you filter out many unqualified [targets]~”
After speaking, Leeds, who was more than a head taller than Wuwu, suddenly “bit” Wuwu’s neck.
“Damn it, Leeds, what are you doing~”
Several hours later, War College plane.
Su Yingxue, dressed in white and unusually beautiful, was standing next to the public teleportation portal with her best friend Li Sinuo.
They were waiting for someone to arrive.
However, the other lords who came out of the teleportation portal in front of them all looked at them with vigilance.
And the person they were waiting for had not appeared.
This couldn’t help but make Li Sinuo a little irritable.
“Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, I’ll ask you again!”
“Are you sure that Wuwu, that stinky brat, really told you that he was coming to this ball?”
“Can you really be sure that this stinky brat won’t ditch you?”
“After all, it’s already this late, and the guy hasn’t come yet, so is he not coming?”
“I always feel that that guy with the gloomy expression and the so-called [ball] are two incompatible existences!”
Hearing Li Sinuo say this, Su Yingxue said helplessly.
“I really wasn’t joking, and neither was Wuwu.”
“Because I sent him a message before, and he also promised to come to this ball.”
Hearing Su Yingxue say this, Li Sinuo rolled her eyes speechlessly.
In fact, she really didn’t believe that Wuwu could come.
She believed that Wuwu, that madman, would definitely not be able to stand the atmosphere of this ball.
Li Sinuo looked at the young lords dressed in gorgeous clothes, or handsome and compelling, around her, thinking.
Moreover, Li Sinuo was still guessing in her mind what kind of "ghostly" aesthetic clothes Wuwu would wear to attend this ball, which was extremely important to many people.
After all, the last time Li Sinuo saw Wuwu, this guy’s charm value had reached an extreme low.
However, the moment of being slapped in the face came quickly.
Because just as Li Sinuo was thinking wildly, a figure passed through the teleportation portal and came to this side.
It was Wuwu!
“You!!”
Li Sinuo couldn’t believe it, Wuwu actually came to this ball today.
And what made her even more unbelievable was that Wuwu actually wore a dress today!
However, the face of her best friend, Su Yingxue, became very bad.
The face of her, who was still laughing a second ago, immediately stiffened.
Because she noticed that there was a small… on Wuwu’s neck.
Lip print!
That was the “mark” left by the Fallen Angel!
