Chapter 973 -605, Playing with Fire, Woman (Added for Alliance Hierarch ‘Angel’s Trajectory’)._2 I heard this kind of wine is very popular even among the Dragon Clan. As soon as it was taken out of the storage space, a rich fragrance of wine instantly filled the air. It made Rolana, who had been gazing into the distance, curiously look over. After Fang Hao poured himself a cup, she took it and poured one for herself as well. She casually asked, “When did you and Rebecca become close?” ... Fang Hao’s hand, which was holding the wine, paused slightly. Then he said, “Rebecca is a smart and knowledgeable woman; men and women alike tend to like getting close to her.” Rolana continued to press, “How close?” Ah, this… Intimately close. What you’ve done and what you haven’t, we’ve done them all. But he also didn’t quite dare to say that to Rolana. After thinking for a moment, he said, “A confidante, I guess. It means we can talk about anything and help each other out with our troubles—a close friend.” Rolana nodded as if she understood the idioms Fang Hao used. She raised her glass and took a sip, barely touching her lips when her eyes widened and she coughed a few times. It seemed the wine was too strong for her. Fang Hao took his glass, had a small sip, and found the taste quite potent, somewhat akin to modern spirits. It was different from the beer and fruit wines common in this era. “This is the ‘Succubus Tavern’s’ ‘Dragon Village Dream.’ It’s said that if the Dragon Clan drinks too much of it, they can sleep well. If not, just drink the ordinary stuff.” Upon hearing this, Rolana tipped her head back and downed the whole cup. In an instant, a flush of red rose on her fair cheeks. Fang Hao didn’t dare to drink like that, so he just smiled and sipped a little. Fortunately, with that diversion, Rolana seemed to forget the previous topic. She didn’t pursue the matter of his relationship with Rebecca any further. Fang Hao leaned back and then said, “Rolana…” “Hmm?” Rolana looked over in confusion. “If you had the chance, would you leave this place, leave us?” This question made Rolana frown slightly and a look of uncertainty flashed across her face. After a pause, she replied, “I will not leave.” After saying that, she felt it wasn’t right, not in keeping with her usual aloof demeanor. She revised her statement, “I promised to help you build your territory, so naturally, I will keep my promise.” Fang Hao smiled. After the two of them shared a silent drink, he still took out the Rolana Talisman from the storage space and held it in his hand. “You said you wouldn’t leave, right?” Rolana glared at him, not understanding what he was getting at. “I’m giving you this because I hope you’ll consider this place your home as well and won’t leave us,” he said, and then handed the talisman in front of her. Everyone in the territory was actually quite afraid of Rolana. Not only was she powerful, but she also had an unpredictable temperament, like a mad woman. But over time, Fang Hao didn’t really mind her and was somewhat afraid that after getting the talisman, she would use the Teleportation Array on it to return to Eternal Night City. That’s why Fang Hao had to check with her again. Rolana had just looked up to take another sip of wine and set down her glass when she saw the talisman held out in front of her. In that instant, her pupils shrank sharply. Yet she did not reach out to take it; her expression rapidly changed. After taking a deep breath, she asked, “Where did you get this?” “I bought it at a Blood Clan store in the Trade Alliance headquarters,” Fang Hao answered. This reminded Rolana of what Rebecca had told her the night before. Fang Hao was always thinking of buying her things. “Don’t buy things recklessly in the future. If I want to go back, as if I don’t know the way, I would have gone back long ago.” She grabbed the talisman and tucked it into her bosom, saying indifferently, “I’ve taken the item, thanks.” [The Beauty of the Lonely Night – Rolana Ann Tobias’s Loyalty to you has increased by 10 points, current Loyalty: 92.] The system notification appeared, and Rolana’s loyalty instantly increased by 10 points. Although she appeared indifferent, she actually valued the talisman highly. Otherwise, past gifts of Bone Dragons and houses only increased her loyalty by 2 or 1 point. This time, it jumped by 10 points in one go. But Rolana was right; she was now free. And she wasn’t unfamiliar with the way back home; if she wished to leave and return to Eternal Night City, with or without the talisman, she could still go back. It was his transmigrator’s mindset that led him to consider what Rolana might want. The silver moon adorned the deep blue night sky, and the twinkling stars, like splendid pearls, sparkled ceaselessly. Both of them suddenly fell silent, drinking their wine without saying a word, and casually nibbling on some of the small dishes they had taken out. As Rolana drank her wine, she leaned back, her right arm supporting her body, and draped her long, slender legs over the other. “Do you really like my legs?” “Huh?” he pride of having teased someone successfully. This kind of expression was the first he had seen on Rolana’s face. “Woman, you’re playing with fire!” Rolana was startled for a moment, pondering the meaning of playing with fire. She said, “Isn’t this what you wanted to see?” Fang Hao fell silent for a moment, a loyalty level of 92 points was already quite high. Plus, with the hints she had just given, it might be worth a try. Without answering her, he stood up and walked straight over to her. Rolana looked up at him, “What are you doing?” Fang Hao’s expression was serious as he bent down to push her shoulder, trying to push her over. However, it was as though he had pushed against a wall; Rolana didn’t budge an inch, but instead, Fang Hao stumbled and plunged into her arms. He instantly felt a wave of fragrance and softness. Hastily, he got up and saw that Rolana’s brow was still furrowed. Thinking for a moment, he said, “I’ll take care of you from now on…” Rolana’s cheeks and neck immediately flushed red, and faced with his somewhat domineering gaze, she felt a moment of timidity. She turned her head away and said, “Don’t go overboard, I have someone I like…” Nonsense, the person you like likes me too. We’re going to be a family sooner or later. If he backed down now, all his previous efforts would go to waste. He placed his arms around her shoulders. and his gaze shifted behind Rolana, towards the room, as he said in surprise, “Rebecca, it’s not what you think.” Rolana was shocked and immediately let go, turning her head to look. Seeing the empty room, she quickly realized she had been tricked. By the time she turned back around, her body had already twitched. She couldn’t believe he would cheat and deceive her like this. In the instant she turned back, he took the opportunity to kiss her on the lips. Mmm…!
