Play Speak
Throughout the entire banquet, Chloe's mouth never stopped moving.
She was truly quite hungry, and felt that she could eat half a cow in one sitting.
The dishes in front of her were simply not enough to fill her stomach.
Fortunately, Ren Yunying would occasionally push some hearty dishes secretly towards Chloe.
If Ren Yunying dared to push them, Chloe dared to eat them.
Not only did she want to eat, but she also wanted to eat together with her friends.
Chloe patted her belly and muttered:
"How come I feel like I can eat more and more recently?"
Sitting beside her, Daniel put down his elbow with an unsatisfied expression: "Really? I feel it's the same for me. I've always eaten this much anyway."
Chloe didn't know if others were like that, she only knew that she could eat a lot at the moment.
Anderson put some peeled shrimp into Chloe's bowl:
"It's normal, you're at an age where you need to grow, so you need to eat more, otherwise you won't get enough nutrients."
"Is that so?" Chloe pondered while chewing on the shrimp, then after swallowing, she asked again, "Then why haven't my teeth grown out yet?"
Everyone: "......"
Anderson coughed dryly a couple of times without saying a word.
Chloe was truly feeling frustrated.
She took a sip of water, wanting to use her tongue to feel the little pointy tooth that had just emerged, but then forcibly stopped herself:
"Why? Why are my teeth still like this?"
Months had passed, and they were still just little pointy tips.
When would her magnificent, fierce fangs finally grow out completely!
The little girl's gaze was ferocious, showing that she was seriously angry, but this appearance was too comical.
Qin Huaibei was the first to burst out laughing.
Then it was Daniel, who even flaunted his pointy teeth at Chloe.
Immediately after, a wad of tissues was smacked onto his face by Chloe.
Daniel: "......"
He nonchalantly took out the tissues and wiped his mouth.
In the midst of the suppressed laughter, only Anderson slightly frowned:
"It is a bit strange."
Anderson pondered for a moment: "When we get back, I'll get you some medicine?"
"Will taking medicine really help?" Chloe expressed her doubts.
Anderson looked at her and simply said two words: "Try it."
Alright.
We'll just give it a try.
If there's no other way, then she'll just have to spend a fortune to get a tooth implanted.
Chloe clicked her tongue, feeling that a life without natural fangs was truly incomplete.
While they were making a fuss, the lights suddenly brightened in the front of the banquet hall.
Music started playing, and several girls in dance dresses walked onto the stage.
The performance had begun.
Chloe unconsciously craned her neck to look at the dancing girls on stage.
Their graceful and alluring dance moves were captivating, and after watching for a while, Chloe turned to Katherine and asked:
"Do you know how to dance?"
Katherine paused in the middle of scooping soup, then hesitantly replied:
"Not really."
The Elf tribe didn't teach proper dances, only strange ceremonial dances.
After receiving this answer, Chloe looked a bit disappointed, giving a dry "Oh" before stuffing a chicken leg into her mouth.
Katherine blinked a few times.
Maybe she should sign up for dance classes now?
After the stage performances came to an end one by one, a white-bearded old gentleman soon appeared.
Chloe recognized him, he seemed to be the principal of The No.1 Military Academy.
He was about to give a speech.
As expected, the white-bearded old gentleman spoke in a resonant voice, his eyes shining brightly, and his words were full of vigor.
A string of eloquent ceremonial remarks.
Towards the end, the principal shifted his tone and continued:
"...So we are very honored to invite an outstanding alumnus who graduated from The No.1 Military Academy, he is..."
Chloe vaguely sensed something and raised her head again.
The stage lights dimmed for a moment, then bright spotlights shone again, illuminating the speaker's podium.
The person who appeared was dressed in a crisp and tidy suit, his trousers pressed, his long black hair smooth and tied in a low ponytail, his gaze calm:
"I'm honored to be back here, standing on this familiar podium again, I am..."
It was Xavier.
The crowd immediately burst into a commotion.
Chloe blinked her eyes, just about to take a closer look, when she unexpectedly collided with Xavier's gaze.
A hint of a smile gradually appeared in his eyes, making him look much gentler.
Chloe huffed and lowered her head to continue eating.
He looked quite handsome standing up there, completely unrecognizable as a centuries-old old man.
Beside her, Daniel raised his head high, then quickly lowered it again.
He leaned over towards Chloe and "puffed" twice past Anderson:
"Your dad looks so cool standing up there."
It seemed like he was even cooler than their Wolf King.
Upon hearing this, Chloe unconsciously snapped her fingers:
"Well, why else do you think I have such a beautiful daughter?"
Everyone: "......"
Daniel nodded with deep conviction: "You have a point."
On stage, Xavier's voice was low and mellow, with a captivating quality.
Most of what he said were ceremonial words of admonition and encouragement, but the people below still listened attentively and earnestly.
This was, after all, a speech given by the great Vampire progenitor, so as long as this identity was presented here, it didn't matter whether Xavier's speech was good or bad, long-winded or nonsensical.
No matter how boring it was, the audience had to listen intently, occasionally nodding and smiling in acknowledgment, or applauding at appropriate times.
Qin Huaibei commented from the side: "Truly a cunning great man."
Chloe nodded in agreement, just about to speak when her elbow was suddenly jabbed.
Puzzled, she turned her head and found that the one who had jabbed her was none other than Ren Yunying.
The instructor Ren Yunying stared at her sternly, using her gaze to warn Chloe not to make small talk.
Chloe blinked a few times, then used her hand to "zip" her mouth shut, promising that she would not talk.
Only then did Ren Yunying nod in satisfaction and pass over a bowl of peeled crab meat.
Seeing the crab meat drenched in sauce, Chloe's eyes lit up, and she happily accepted it to share with her little friends.
No one knew how long it had been when Xavier's speech finally ended.
As he stepped off the stage, there were greetings arising from all around.
Xavier nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then unhesitatingly walked over to Chloe's side.
Seeing this, Ren Yunying promptly and properly moved a chair aside to make room for Xavier.
Xavier didn't move, his gaze first fell on Chloe, then slowly shifted to Anderson sitting beside Chloe.
The young Vampire's emerald green eyes were calm and unperturbed.
Chloe keenly sensed the undercurrents flowing between them. She took a napkin from the box, wiped her mouth clean, then swiftly picked up a piece of crab meat with her chopsticks and popped it into Xavier's mouth.
The action was too swift and natural, taking no more than a second.
Xavier opened his mouth instinctively, and the sweet taste of crab meat spread in his mouth.
He slowly lowered his gaze.
His only daughter's eyes were crinkled in a mischievous and carefree smile:
"Sit down and eat, Dad."
