Devil’s Son-in-Law

Just as Kia wandered in the western suburbs while waiting foolishly, Chen Rui had followed Paglio into the Red Fruit Hotel. The Red Fruit Hotel was 1 of the high class hotels in the Dark Moon. Last time, Chen Rui also met ‘Christina’ here.

The Red Fruit Hotel was also 1 of the designated retailers of the aromatic millet wine in the Princess Villa of the Dark Moon branch. The restaurant business alone was extremely hot.

To Chen Rui’s surprise, Paglio didn’t take him to the restaurant to drink wine, but they walked into the accommodation room. The reason was simple. The restaurant was full. The explanation was acceptable. In his previous life, when watching the World Cup, he used to book a room with a few brothers to stay up late to watch football. He still remembered that feeling. But the poison dragon has always been stingy, so why is he willing to book a room to treat me to a drink of wine?

Just as Chen Rui was wondering, the door opened. It was even a deluxe room. There was a large table of wine and dishes on the dining table in the living room… Uh, empty plates of wine and dishes. A person sitting among the plates was burping.

“Olypheus!” Paglio stared at the empty wines and dishes in a daze. He couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eyes, “Didn’t I say to serve the dishes when we are back?”

Olypheus was dumbfounded as she blinked and looked at Paglio, “What?”

“Don’t use this damn imitation show!” The poison dragon almost spat out his dragon breath. He initially wanted to do something to the wine and dishes, but he didn’t expect that Olypheus would actually serve all the dishes and eat them all!

“I’m too hungry. Didn’t you say that there is food?” Olypheus looked at the poison dragon innocently, “It’s okay, I ordered the third round again.”

Wait! The third round? Could it be that… The poison dragon felt that his heart and wallet were dripping blood. No way! This money must go to Julia’s public account! Must be reimbursed!

“Where are Betty and Julia?”

“This is what happened. We happen to run into Alice and Adeline outside the hotel. Krobelus and Julia took them to go shopping. Julia said that if I am too hungry, I can stay and eat something first.”

Alice actually comes to the Dark Moon at this time? Paglio was taken aback. This is a critical moment. No wonder Betty and Julia led the 2 little girls away, leaving Ms. Black Dragon to make things easier.

“Then serve the dishes!” Paglio said to the waiter.

“Okay, okay!” Olypheus nodded excitedly without a hint of the bloating appearance just now. As long as it was free, she could eat as much as served.

Master Poison Dragon’s eyes start to twitch again. Can your internal organs become a stomach?

The efficiency of the Red Fruit Hotel was very fast. The wine and dishes were quickly replaced with new ones.

The poison dragon’s gaze caught sight of Ms. Black Dragon who quickly swept the plate, and his face started to twitch- Can you leave a few dishes for the medicine!

“Paglio.” Chen Rui didn’t notice any abnormalities. He absent-mindedly drank a few sips of wine and said, “To be honest, I’ve been really depressed recently. Tell me… Do you have a way?”

“Um…” The poison dragon started by deceiving Chen Rui into the Red Fruit Hotel. How could there be any good ideas? As he was stuttering, he saw Chen Rui’s expression of suspicion, and he immediately pointed to Ms. Black Dragon, “The idea is Olypheus!”

“Me?” When the confused Ms. Black Dragon heard her name, she paused to swallow her mouthful of food before she continued to devour the food.

“What are you trying to say?” Chen Rui frowned.

“Have you ever thought about the reason for the failed marriage proposal? Those women are actually loyal to you… What an enviable damn human. In fact, you care about them too much, so they… what is the term?”

“Tsundere?” Chen Rui didn’t expect that the poison dragon was actually bullshiting. He nodded as if he understood.

“Yes, that’s the term! Women just like to be jealous and like to compare.” Paglio’s words became more and more smooth like an expert in love, marriage and family issues,”The positive strategy is obviously too difficult, so you have to change another angle to solve this problem. Suppose if there is a new competitor that can threaten them, would those women be so arrogant? So tsundere?”

“It seems to make sense.” Chen Rui quickly thought about the possibility, “Will it be counterproductive…”

“Of course not! I have the most experience in this area!”

“Will you still be closely supervised by Little Betty now if you are experienced?”

“What you see is just the appearance!” Master Poison Dragon immediately changed the topic, “Olypheus is your nominal fiancée. If you let those women know that you are about to officially marry her, will they refuse your proposal?”

Chen Rui frowned more tightly, “But my feelings toward Olypheus…”

“I know you only regard Olypheus as your sister. This time, it’s just acting. I guarantee you will succeed! You just need to pay Olypheus a sum of money at that time.”

The confused Olypheus was extra attentive when she heard the word ‘money’, then she nodded desperately- This trip is too cost-effective. Not only can I eat for free, but I can also get money for nothing!

“It’s really worth trying.” Chen Rui’s eyes lit up. The dead duck dragon should have a clearer perspective as a bystander. This trick is indirectly saving the day. Coupled with the positive strategy, it will surely end the cold war and win the sisters’ alliance! Maybe it will make the ladies unhappy at first. I’ll try my best to make up for it when the marriage proposal is successful!

When Master Poison Dragon saw that the human was finally fooled, he excitedly drank a gulp of wine while concealing the proud expression in his eyes: Acting? Hehe, this master will let you act the real show tonight!

On the other side, the poor succubus little maid became anxious as she did not see Chen Rui’s figure after waiting for 3 hours.

“He really isn’t coming? Did we go over the line, making him sad or annoyed? Sobs…” Little succubus’s voice was already choking.

Athena’s voice sounded, “Kia, don’t cry! I’m almost in the southern suburbs to pick you up.”

“That’s strange, Chen Rui is not such a person. Since he asked you out, he would definitely not leave you there alone.” Isabella’s voice was full of doubts, “Kia, are you sure that Dodo notified you of the change of dating location?”

“En! It’s Dodo. Where is Chen Rui now?”

“Don’t worry! I’ll ask Delia for help right away… Zola, arrest Dodo as soon as possible for interrogation. That cunning slime is actually a triple spy!”

“Oh…”

In the Red Fruit Hotel, the third table of wine and dishes had been swept away.

“Is there a fourth round?” Olypheus looked at Paglio expectantly.

Although the poison dragon almost got cramps all over his body, his eyes rolled and he already had an idea, “Wait a minute, Betty and the others haven’t come back yet! By the way, Betty said she wanted to drink the special black pear juice from Wawa Beverage Shop. I’ll go buy some.”

“I’ll go too!” Ms. Black Dragon was thinking about having some dessert, so she jumped up quickly.

Paglio nodded, “Cunning human, don’t go away yet. I am in a good mood after completing Little Betty’s entrustment. I will bring you a bottle later.”

Chen Rui did not suspect him as he nodded with a smile.

On the other side.

“Athena! Where have you been?”

“I have met up with Kia. I’m in the town now.”

“Don’t hurry back! Go to the west of the city!” Isabella’s voice seemed a little anxious, “Dodo spilled the beans just now. He was the one who changed the date place instead of Chen Rui, and the masterminds are Paglio and the dragons! According to Delia’s intel provided by the Dark Demon, they should be at the Red Fruit Hotel now! Although I don’t know what the dragons are doing, I have a bad hunch that it is definitely not a good thing! Zola and I have already rushed over there! Let’s meet first!”

“Okay!”

At this time, Paglio had bought several bottles of black pear juice with Ms. Black Dragon. This time, the little girl did not swallow, but she slowly tasted the drink with a straw. Nonetheless, she was holding a bottle in her left hand, a bottle in her arm, and another on her right.

Paglio walked to the side and secretly took out the crystal vial while the girl was not paying attention. Just as he poured it into a bottle of juice, he felt something was wrong. As he turned his head violently, he was startled when he saw Ms. Black Dragon’s big eyes flashing curiously.

“The one in your hand is… the ‘expensive’ thing that can be eaten?”

“This is… a tonic for men! Women must not eat it!” Paglio hurriedly patched up with a lie, “Don’t you think Chen Rui is very unhappy today? This is to help him calm down. Don’t tell him later. Lest refuses to drink. After he drinks it, you will have a good conversation with him. In addition to the remuneration, I will treat you to a big meal tomorrow…”

“Deal!” Ms. Black Dragon suddenly showed a look of scrutiny, “Are you trying to poison boss! I’m boss’ bodyguard!”

“I swear in the name of dragons that this is definitely not a poison!” Paglio swore with a curse and muttered in his heart, That guy is a poison immune freak. Even my poison is useless! However, this kind of instinct-inducing thing cannot be regarded as a poison. In a sense, it is a real ‘tonic’ that can cure all kinds of problems.

Olypheus barely took the ‘tonic’ with her ‘occupied’ right hand. Alice’s voice came from the other side, “Olypheus! Is that you?”

Ms. Black Dragon’s reaction was extremely fast. Except for the bottle in the left hand that she was drinking, all the others disappeared in the space ring instantly. She turned around and waved, “Alice! Adeline! Come on! Someone treats us to a drink!”

The poison dragon, “…”

On the opposite street, Julia and Krobelus came with Alice and Adeline.

The poison dragon turned his mind and whispered to Ms. Black Dragon, “Olypheus, you go upstairs right now to give Chen Rui the bottle of tonic to drink, then lock the door and don’t come out.”

Ms. Black Dragon asked puzzledly, “Why?”

“Do you want to enjoy the fourth table of food alone? I will take Betty and the others to buy something. I will come back to foot the bill later.”

“Okay, okay!” Ms. Black Dragon nodded quickly, and quickly ran toward the Red Fruit Hotel.

Paglio immediately greeted Alice and the others. Alice asked, “Why did Olypheus run away?”

“Um, she went to the hotel to pack the unfinished food. Let’s go back first. She will come and meet us in a while.” As the poison dragon said, he winked at Ms. Emerald Dragon and Elder Miss Black Dragon. The women immediately understood and agreed with him.

Alice didn’t doubt him and nodded. She held Adeline and walked back together.

Master Poison Dragon just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that success was around the corner, then a familiar voice behind him suddenly sounded, “Paglio! What are you up to! Where is Chen Rui?”

Isabella, plus Athena, Kia, and… Zola!

Master Poison Dragon’s eyes blacked out: Crap! This time everyone is here!
