Miss White Wolf's Terra Travel Journal

What she didn't know was that Miss Dragon Girl had already begun to regret it due to some special circumstances.

There is a reason why this lipstick is so famous in Victoria. It is made of high-grade edible spices and can be eaten directly. Because of its bright and fascinating color, it is often used by couples in love. At this time, the edible property will play a very wonderful role.

She got excited at the time and wanted to watch Miss White Wolf put on this, but she didn't expect that the result would be adding fuel to the fire. Fortunately, in the process of applying lipstick, she gradually became mentally prepared and did not lose her composure like before.

"Xiaota. Is this lipstick edible?"

Miss White Wolf's soft voice rang in her ears, and her moist breath blew on Tallulah's cheek.

She nodded with difficulty and explained: "This lipstick is actually a kind of food."

"That's what I told you." Miss White Wolf smiled and licked the lipstick on her lips with her tongue, not noticing that her companion's eyes had turned slightly red.

Tallulah had never seen such a scene before. Under the strong stimulation from such a close distance, the things in her dream reappeared in her mind, as if it were a model to tempt her to take further action. Physical and psychological desires intertwined, and desire gradually overwhelmed rationality. She was restless, eagerly and greedily staring at the bright red lips and tongue that were so close to her. She had to do something immediately. She didn't know what the consequences would be, and she didn't want to know.

A crunch.

The dressing-room door was ajar.

It was as if a basin of ice water was poured over Tallulah's heart, which immediately cooled down.

The white wolf turned his head to look at the door, and Tallulah turned around with a gloomy look on her face.

The female makeup artist poked her head in and said with a gentle smile, "Is the customer ready? Do you need my help?"

"Thank you, thank you. Xiaota's makeup is done. You can check out now."

Upon hearing this, the makeup artist turned around to get the bill. White Wolf took the opportunity to lick the stuff off his lips, then led Tallulah to the counter to pay.

After the waiter settled the bill, he said, "The total is 4,200 Longmen coins. We can give you some discounts as a new customer, 4,000 Longmen coins."

"So expensive?"

The waiter explained calmly, "It's like this. You two have opened an expensive lipstick. Once you use it, you can't give it to anyone else. That's why the price is so high. You can take the lipstick away and it will be considered as your purchase."

"Okay." White Wolf looked at the lipstick in Tallulah's hand, nodded, and paid four thousand Longmen coins.

As soon as they left the makeup store, she reached out to Tallulah for her lipstick: "Give it to me, it would be a waste if you throw it away."

Miss Longnu had regained her usual composure and asked, "What do you want it for? Are you really going to use it?"

"You're stupid, of course I eat it as a snack." White Wolf said proudly.

She thought of Superintendent Shi Huaiya who always carried lipstick in her pocket. If one day, the two of them met and took out lipstick at the same time, one to apply it and the other to eat it, the scene would definitely be very interesting.

"No, it's a waste if you eat it." Tallulah shook her head and put the lipstick away.

"Hey, are you going to keep it for yourself?" White Wolf scratched her head curiously. She remembered that Tallulah didn't wear lipstick. Suddenly, she realized, "I see. You often disguise your identity. You might need this thing someday, right? So keep it."

Tallulah said nothing and accepted the excuse Miss White Wolf gave her. As for why she wanted to keep the lipstick, only she knew.

Volume 4: Chapter 43: High Society

In the evening, White Wolf and Tallulah arrived at the eastern outskirts of the city, ready to attend the banquet. Due to their underestimation of the city's conditions, they encountered the evening rush hour in Koros and were stuck in traffic for a while, so they missed the opening of the banquet.

Fortunately, this kind of banquet does not have a fixed start and end time. On the road, all kinds of luxury cars are still driving slowly on the street, and their destinations are all luxurious villas in the suburbs.

This made Bai Lang no longer anxious, so he walked slowly and looked. In the suburbs of East City, only this area was brightly lit and colorful, while other places were dark.

She noticed an elegantly decorated black carriage coming, so she tugged at her companion's clothes and pointed with her right hand: "Xiaota, look at that man using a carriage."

Tallulah took a look and thought nothing of it. She explained, "This is a strange habit of the rich. In Victoria, every noble family has a carriage. Traveling in a carriage means going to a banquet. In fact, it was the same in Ursus before. Since the trend from Colombia spread here, everyone thinks driving a luxury car is more fashionable and more 'civilized', so fewer people use carriages."

"So, Victorian nobles still use horse-drawn carriages?"

"Well, if you have a chance, go to Victoria and you'll see. The atmosphere there is very different."

As the two talked, they walked to the gate of the villa. White Wolf saw that every person entering handed in an invitation to the guard, then registered their name in a booklet and handed over their weapons.

"Were weapons not allowed at the party?" she asked Tallulah in a low voice.

"What do you think you are here for? Fighting?" Miss Longnv teased, and then said seriously, "This is the rule of the banquet, and it also represents the guests' trust in the organizer of the banquet."

White Wolf nodded, then walked to the guard and showed the letter from the Marquis Carolingian.

The guard received the envelope, checked it carefully, and then asked respectfully, "Excuse me, is the person on the right your female companion, Miss Lillian?"

Bai Lang was surprised to hear Lillian's words. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Do I need to register?"

The guard shook his head and said, "The people you brought do not need to register. The banquet has already begun. You two can go in directly. Master Caroline has specifically instructed that you can go to the second floor of the hall after eight o'clock."

Bai Lang looked at the time. It was about six forty, and there was still some time before eight o'clock. The two men handed their swords to the guard for safekeeping and walked into the villa wall.

The gate is nearly 100 meters away from the villa hall, with a straight road in the middle and carefully designed gardens and pavilions on both sides of the road. Because it is winter, there is only dwarf holly evergreen in the garden.

Some guests who were attending the banquet were standing in groups of three or four on the straight road, pointing at the magnificent buildings in front of them and commenting on them. Tallulah turned her head and whispered to White Wolf, "Lillian?"

White Wolf also whispered back: "That was my childhood name, you can just call me White Wolf."

"Yes, Miss Lillian."

Miss Dragon felt her arm being twisted, and quickly said, "Well, White Wolf, I remember you said that Caroline knew your father."

"I did."

Tallulah added: "Now it seems that it is not just a simple acquaintance."

"Xiaota, you have also learned to talk nonsense," White Wolf rolled his eyes at Miss Dragon Girl and said, "My adoptive father didn't mention his old friend in Ursus very much, so I was also confused."

Tallulah didn't care about her friends' rolling eyes and continued, "Maybe you are actually related? Well, it's hard to say, but we can't take it lightly."

"I know."

There is a circular fountain at the entrance of the banquet hall. On both sides of the fountain there is a small white stone sculpture, one of which is a goshawk and the other is a lion. Both sculptures are bowing their bodies and looking up, guarding the large stone sculpture in the middle - a giant bear with its palm raised and looking back, looking majestic.

After passing the fountain, you will arrive at the entrance of the banquet hall. There are three steps in the banquet hall. There are waiters in uniform standing on each step, and the whole step is arranged in a figure eight shape.

The waiter's plate contained towels, clean water and other items. The towels were high-end white velvet towels, but they were treated as disposable items and were constantly replaced. There were flower petals floating in the clean water, which here should only be used for washing hands.

White Wolf imitated Tallulah, poured some water on his hands, then took the towel from the second waiter and wiped them symbolically. Then, at the invitation of the third waiter, he walked into the banquet hall.

The entire hall is a true interpretation of the word "magnificent", with flawless white jade walls, intricately patterned golden wall decorations, silver candlesticks, and red silk satin carpets.

The guests were dressed in suits and looked elegant and graceful. They were all polite and the air was filled with fragrance. Waiters carrying champagne moved freely in the crowd.

When the white wolf saw all this for the first time, he was dazzled and stood there, not knowing whether to take the left foot or the right foot first.

Miss Longnu had been secretly watching Bailang. Seeing that he was at a loss, she gently put her arm around Bailang's waist and whispered in his ear, "Don't be afraid. Just follow me."

White Wolf came to his senses and said angrily, "Who is afraid? There is nothing to be afraid of."

She took a few steps forward, took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray, and nodded in thanks like everyone else. Then she returned to Tallulah, proudly shook the goblet in her hand, and said with a smile, "See? I don't need you to teach me."

However, she found that Tallulah was staring at her in a daze, so she waved her hand in front of her in an angry and amused manner: "Why are you staring at me? No, this cup is for you. I haven't had it yet."

The White Wolf put the goblet into Miss Dragon Girl's hand, then went over to get himself a glass and tried to taste it.

There are many kinds of champagne, and different types have different styles, but the common point is the word "fragrance". As soon as she took a sip, she felt the rich citrus fruit aroma in her mouth, which was mixed with the aroma of white wine. Her tongue tip and throat were warmed by the alcohol.

The champagne of the Ursus people is always strong in alcohol. White Wolf did not intend to have a second glass, so he drank very cautiously, taking small sips at a time while looking around the entire hall.

The banquet hall is hollow, and the first and second floors share a roof. Standing on the edge of the white railing on the second floor, you can overlook the entire first floor. Bailang guessed that the second floor is prepared for the host or guests of the banquet.

She saw several people dressed as businessmen wearing tall hats, walking on the second floor led by waiters, then turning into a room and disappearing. Perhaps they were discussing business with Carolingian.

Volume 4: Chapter 44 Banquet Symphony

The novelty brought by the luxurious dinner did not last long in Bai Lang's heart. She did not have many social tasks like other people, so she soon became bored.

She sat down on the white silk sofa in the corner of the banquet hall and watched the scene in front of her quietly.

On the left side of the hall is a long table, on which are placed various exquisite dishes and pastries. Every five minutes, a waiter will throw away some of them and replace them with other flavors. It is said that this long table will be filled with all kinds of food from all countries of Terra tonight.

White Wolf recalled what happened in the tundra last year, when the Imperial patrols beat up the villagers in order to collect taxes. This happened many times every year.

Alina had also told her that the villagers in the north were not afraid of bandits, but they were afraid of imperial soldiers. This was because bandits were usually ordinary people who had nowhere else to go and would have a bottom line when robbing things, but Ursus soldiers were different. If they couldn't get what they wanted, they would openly use violence, or even capture people and force them to work in dark mining areas, calling it legitimate law enforcement.

She shifted her gaze to the group of nobles. These people were well-dressed and gentle. They gathered together to talk about the past and the present. They all had witty remarks. If they started talking, I believe that just a few simple words from them could make people feel warm.

It is true that these people have received higher education, their overall quality is higher, and their vision is longer-term than that of ordinary people in the lower class. They must have learned the principles of sympathy for the people and frugality, and they also know how times change and how rise and fall rotate.

But with the lessons learned before them, why do these people ignore the living conditions of ordinary people? Why do they have to force the lower class people into a desperate situation?

They obviously knew it.

She remembered the Dali Temple of Yan State that she had seen in the library of Rhode Island. It was said that the most cases handled by the Dali Temple every year were corruption and evil deeds by bureaucrats. The amazing thing was that due to the special official selection system of Yan State, every bureaucrat was brought up under the influence of the books of sages.

Some people say that these people don’t not understand, they just don’t have a heart.

Why do they have no heart?

White Wolf was still sitting there thinking about something, and didn't notice that the music at the party had changed. Tallulah came over, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be in a daze, get up."

"What are you doing?" White Wolf stood up and asked according to Tallulah's instructions.

Tallulah pointed to the venue and asked, "It's time for ballroom dancing now. You're not sociable sitting here. How about I dance with you?"

Only then did White Wolf notice that people in the venue were already grouped in pairs, and he was so frightened that his ears stood up.

I never mentioned this before! She glared at Miss Longnv angrily.

Tallulah quickly explained: "I thought this was common sense, you must know it."

White Wolf sat down on the stool and said firmly, "I don't know. I won't jump. I can't."

"I can teach you."

"No need to learn. If you want to dance, just find someone else to dance with."

Tallulah rubbed her forehead and said unnaturally, "If I don't team up with you, someone will bother you later. Several people glanced at you just now."

"How is that possible? Stop making excuses and go by yourself." White Wolf stood up, pushed Tallulah's back and pushed her away, then turned around and prepared to rest in the chair he had sat on before.

She felt someone tap her shoulder gently, and thinking it was Tallulah again, she pinched the other person's fingers and said reluctantly: "Xiaota, that's enough, I've already said..."

She turned around and saw a young Ursus gentleman, who looked at her pinched fingers with an ambiguous look. He bowed slightly and said kindly and slowly: "Beautiful lady, you may have misunderstood. I just wanted to invite you to dance with me."

White Wolf felt a chill and quickly let go of her hand. He explained in an awkward tone, "Yes, I'm sorry, I already have a dance partner. She just went to help me get something."

"Well, that's such a shame."

"Sorry, sorry."

The white wolf turned around hurriedly and found Miss Dragon Girl two meters away. The other party didn't go far at all, and was hiding here deliberately to laugh at her.

"Well, I didn't lie to you." Tallulah said in a low voice, holding back her laughter.

"Well, the point is that I could never imagine such a thing would happen." White Wolf replied depressedly.

Tallulah smiled and said, "I think you are the one who is confused. You are very beautiful. If someone happens to like your type, they will definitely be fascinated by you."

Bai Lang couldn't help but feel hot on his face: "Don't talk nonsense, let's not talk about this, okay?"

"I'm not lying to you. I'm not talking nonsense."

"Tsk, you said you wouldn't lie to me, how did you know this?"

"I definitely know..." Tallulah suddenly thought of something, and then her eyes widened in disbelief.

Next, she fell into deep self-reflection and self-doubt, and didn't bother to say a word.

White Wolf thought she had exposed her female companion's lies and was secretly complacent. She saw that others had already started dancing to the music and Tallulah suddenly became dazed again, so she followed the others' example and put her right arm around Miss Dragon Girl's waist and held Miss Dragon Girl's hand with her left hand.

What should I do next? Should I take the right foot first or the left foot first? Should I take the step sideways or diagonally?

She was stuck.

Just as she was about to continue learning from other people's experience, Tallulah came to her senses, saw her waist was being embraced, and looked at White Wolf with some surprise.

Tallulah could tell at a glance that White Wolf didn't know what to do. She wanted to teach him directly, but changed her mind when the words were on the tip of her tongue. She wanted to see how far he could learn on his own.

She stared at Miss White Wolf silently and saw that her face was getting redder and redder.

"I'll teach you." She couldn't help but said with her hands covering her mouth and smiling.

White Wolf replied with a very disdainful tone: "It's fine for me to listen to you talk about it. In fact, I've almost learned it."

"Yeah, I know. Before I teach you, how about we change things up first? You do the female steps?"

"Hey, is my current posture a male step?" Bai Lang glanced at the others and found that most of the people doing the same movements as her were men. She felt that she had learned something new and said, "No, I want the male step."

This gave Tallulah a headache. The difficulty of learning the male steps was relatively high, as it required the rotation between the two feet. However, the female steps had almost no threshold, and only required the forward and backward movements. She was not sure she could teach White Wolf these on the spot. If he was frustrated, he would not want to come to such occasions in the future.

She didn't know what was wrong, but she intuitively felt that it was not good for her. She thought about it and explained, "The male steps are too simple. There is no need to learn them. The key is to dance the female steps well. I want to see if you can master this difficult step."
