Chapter 96: Super Revenge
Chapter 96: Super Revenge
People heard a loud ‘pa’ sound, which startled the hundreds of Nobles present, and they hurriedly turned their gazes over.
They only saw Constantine with a red face. Her angry expression even made her lips tremble non-stop. Looking at the dress on her buttocks, on the layers of folds made of silk velvet, there was actually an extremely clear handprint.
“Ah!” Almost all the Nobles present exclaimed in surprise. One had to know, this was not an ordinary banquet, but the highest-level banquet in the Griffin Kingdom. Those who came were all the top Nobles in the Kingdom. And Constantine was even more of an extraordinary person. She was the candidate for the Princess Consort of the Elf Prince, and even the Prince of the Griffin Kingdom was not qualified to pursue her. In such a serious occasion, such a high-status lady was actually patted on the buttocks in public. Good heavens, this was absolutely the biggest scandal in the history of the Kingdom.
Then, people naturally began to pay attention to the protagonist who dared to commit this shocking scandal. On the surface, there were only two people behind Constantine, one was Old Xie, and the other was Lambard. Obviously, one of them was the culprit.
But people easily noticed a detail. Although the handprint on Constantine’s buttocks was deep, there was no dirt on it. Obviously, the culprit’s hand was very clean. But Old Xie had vegetable juice on both hands, and he was still holding the Haikelan Big Abalone and gnawing on it. Undoubtedly, in the eyes of the crowd, this culprit could not be him, unless he had three hands.
So if it wasn’t Old Xie, who else could it be? Constantine showed her attitude with her actions. Pa, a loud slap landed heavily on Lambard’s face.
“Shameless!” Constantine cursed in grief and indignation, and then ran away with tears.
Suddenly, poor Lambard fell into a petrified state, while the hundreds of Great Nobles around him looked at him with angry and mocking eyes, making him feel like he was dreaming.
And on the main seat, Akashic, the Clan Head of the Hercules Family, was already so angry that his face turned green. As the host and father, his daughter was actually molested in public right under his nose. That feeling was quite awful!
Of course, the one who felt the best was naturally that wretched Fatty. Although he did not dare to show a smile on his face, for fear of provoking the furious Akashic, his small eyes were already narrowed with joy.
As for the most awkward person among everyone, it undoubtedly had to be Frank, the Clan Head of the Augustus Family. His son had done such a rude thing that he almost wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into; how could he dare to stay any longer? He hurriedly stood up and kept apologizing to Akashic, but unfortunately, Akashic had no intention of paying attention to him and just sat there angrily.
Frank had no choice but to apologize with a forced smile and take his leave. Then he walked over, slapped Lambard twice hard, waking up the guy who was still in a daze, and then fled the place under the strange gazes of the nobles.
At this time, Old Xie finally finished off the Haiklan Abalone and murmured in a low voice with unsatisfied longing: “The feel was really good!”
The word ‘feel’ was obviously not used to describe food. What Old Xie wanted to praise was not the Haiklan Abalone at all, but Constantine’s noble buttocks.
It turned out that this matter was actually done by Old Xie. You see, Old Xie didn’t just have three hands; he had a full four hands! Although his upper two hands were eating abalone, it didn’t hinder his lower two hands from making small movements at all. One of the hands was the author of the handprint, while the other hand slapped Old Xie’s own thigh hard.
You see, Constantine’s skirt was very thick, so patting it would only make a dull sound, not a loud one. In order to attract everyone’s attention and completely expose this matter, Old Xie slapped his own thigh to provide the sound effect. Sure enough, the effect was excellent. The huge noise startled everyone at the banquet immediately, making it impossible for Constantine to endure it secretly even if she wanted to. She could only openly slap Lambard to win back a little bit of face for herself.
Lambard, the only victim of the whole process, didn’t figure out what was going on even until he was taken out of the Hercules Family’s mansion!
Obviously, the banquet couldn’t continue like this. People came forward to say goodbye one after another. Akashic forced a smile to see off a few important guests, and then left angrily. Today’s events were simply too embarrassing for him.
As for Old Xie, he didn’t leave. Instead, taking advantage of the chaotic crowd saying their goodbyes, he secretly slipped into the backyard. He first washed his hands in the pool and suddenly found that there was a plant similar to bamboo here. He wasn’t polite about it; he went up and broke one off, then used his sharp fingernails to poke a few small holes in it. He used his Magic Power to vibrate open a few blocked places, did some patching up, and soon made a flute.
Then, following a trace of aura he had secretly placed on Constantine, he found Constantine crying in a pavilion in the garden.
“The flowers here are already beautiful enough; they don’t need your tears to water them at all!” Old Xie walked over with a smile.
“It’s you!” Constantine was startled by Old Xie’s sudden appearance. Seeing that he had discovered her crying, she felt a burst of shame and anger in her heart, and immediately said angrily: “Why are you like this? Don’t you know the backyard is the ladies’ residence and you can’t just break in?”
“I thought you knew I was a barbarian who hadn’t even eaten Haiklan Abalone!” Old Xie said with a hint of sourness.
“Ah!” Hearing Old Xie mention the Haiklan Abalone, Constantine immediately softened and said embarrassedly, “Alright, I admit it was my fault today, but you embarrassed me in public; I just wanted to vent my anger!”
“Hehe!” Old Xie couldn’t help but smile slightly and said: “Don’t worry, I won’t hold it against you!”
“Really? I thought you came here to blame me!” Constantine said with a bitter smile.
“Of course not, I’m not that stingy!” Old Xie said as he handed the flute to her and smiled: “Actually, I came to give you a gift?”
“A gift?” Constantine took the flute doubtfully, frowning and saying: “It looks very familiar!”
“Oh.” Old Xie suddenly said with some embarrassment: “Of course it looks familiar. In fact, the material is taken from your garden!”
“Ah, this is my father’s favorite Stone Flower. Heavens, you actually dared to break it off? That’s a treasure he has raised since he was a child.” Constantine couldn’t help but say, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: “If my father finds out, he will definitely beat you up hard!”
“No way, this is a gift I’m giving you!” Old Xie said without any shame.
“Heavens, stealing my father’s precious flower to give to me?” Constantine couldn’t help but say, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: “This gift is really unique!”
“Oh, no!” Old Xie immediately waved his hand gently and said: “Please note, Miss, it’s not a flower anymore, but a musical instrument!”
“Musical instrument?” Constantine played with this simple thing in surprise, not seeing the trick to it at all, so she frowned and said: “Your Excellency Little Stephen, are you sure you aren’t joking?”
“Yes, I’m sure I’m not joking!” Old Xie said with a smile.
“Alright then!” Constantine handed the flute over and said: “Then please play it and prove it to me, okay?”
“It would be my honor!” Old Xie said, then took the flute, put it to his lips, and blew gently.
You see, Old Xie learned to play the flute from his foster father when he was a child, and this hobby stayed with him for hundreds of years. Whenever he felt lonely, he would play a tune. After so many years, even the most untalented person would have become a Master, not to mention Old Xie was actually quite talented.
So, under Old Xie’s gentle blowing, a melodious and wonderful melody flew out. His skilled technique, profound understanding of the tune, and absorbed performance gave this song ‘Moonlit Night on the Spring River’ a unique flavor, making Constantine listen with intoxication. Old Xie also put in extra effort; the five-minute performance was completed in one breath without a single pause for breath, finishing this moving performance splendidly.
“Oh my, it was really beautiful!” Constantine asked excitedly after listening: “How on earth did you do that?”
“Hehe, this thing is very simple; I can teach you slowly!” Old Xie said with a smile, and then handed the flute over again.
“Sigh!” Constantine took it, touched it fondly, and then sighed: “But where do I have the time? Now the family business is almost all on my shoulders; I’m too busy with just these things!”
“We can do it at night!” Old Xie suddenly said with a smile.
“Do you think I, a noble lady, can just run around at night?” Constantine couldn’t help but glare at Old Xie in annoyance.
“You don’t need to come out!” Old Xie suddenly said with a smile: “I can come here every night to teach you!”
“Heavens!” Constantine almost fainted. She couldn’t help covering her forehead and said: “Little Stephen, stop messing around, okay? You, a grown man, running to find me every day? What will others think?”
