Chapter 227

After hearing Fei Ao Na's promise, Mrs. Daili excitedly drank the light green potion, returned the glass bottle to Fei Ao Na, and left with a glowing face.

Watching Mrs. Daili's retreating figure, Fei Ao Na whispered, "I hope you can spread my children; at least for now, I don't want to parasitize you yet, lest I be discovered by some soldiers with strange abilities in the Inner City."

Another luxurious house in the Inner City.

At the ball, Daili's charming temperament attracted the opposite sex around her; men kept coming up to invite her to dance, but were all politely declined.

"Daili, you feel a bit different today than usual."

A lady, dressed just as exquisitely, lightly covered her lips with her right hand and said to Daili with a smile.

Seeing Daili's gaze turn toward her, the lady walked elegantly to her side and whispered.

"Daili, Lord Pu Lie is also coming to this ball today; you wouldn't happen to be waiting for him, would you?"

Daili was startled inside, masked her joyful expression, and gave a faint smile.

"I never imagined Lord Pu Lie would actually come to our ball; he rarely attends such events. Ms. Kaxi, you really have told me some good news."

"You're welcome. No one expected Lord Pu Lie to attend this ball, not even the host, Li Ningtian. Perhaps he came because of your beauty, Mrs. Daili."

Kaxi lightly patted Daili's smooth shoulder and teased.

"Kaxi, you really do know how to joke."

Just as the two were whispering, a cry of surprise interrupted their conversation.

"Lord Pu Lie is here!"

"Lord Pu Lie, you are truly in high spirits."

Pu Lie, dressed in formal attire and under the cover of Lu Wang, smiled and responded to the flattery of those around him; when his gaze fell upon Daili, his eyes seemed to be firmly glued, unable to move away.

"My Lord, there are still so many people here."

Seeing Pu Lie's gaze fixed, Lu Wang hurriedly reminded him.

After hearing Lu Wang's reminder, Pu Lie came back to his senses and began to exchange pleasantries with the people around him, though his eyes would glance toward Daili from time to time.

"Look, Lord Pu Lie is looking at you! His eyes went straight to you just now. It seems you will have a wonderful night with Lord Pu Lie."

Kaxi whispered to Daili.

"That's not the case at all, don't worry about my affairs anymore; what about you, have you found a suitable dance partner?"

"Hahaha, I won't say; I'm leaving first."

Kaxi blew a breath toward Daili's ear and turned to leave; several men were already waiting for Kaxi not far away.

Seeing Kaxi walk off with those men, Daili shrugged helplessly, then continued to maintain her elegant pace, chatting with other acquaintances at the ball.

Just after Daili parted from a friend, a magnetic voice came from behind her.

Daili looked back and discovered it was Pu Lie, a charming smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.

"Good evening, Lord Pu Lie, is there something you need from me?"

Looking at Daili, who was exuding a charming aura, Pu Lie extended his left hand like a true gentleman and said very politely.

"Ms. Daili, I wonder if I might invite you to dance?"

Daili elegantly extended her right hand, lightly resting it on the left hand Pu Lie had offered, and said in a calm tone.

"It is my honor, Lord Pu Lie."

The two walked hand in hand to the dance floor; under the melodious music, Pu Lie placed his hand on Daili's waist, and the charming fragrance on Daili made Pu Lie unable to resist taking a deep breath.

"Ms. Daili, the fragrance on you is very charming; it makes me somewhat unable to extricate myself."

Feeling Pu Lie's burning gaze, Daili's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, answering shyly.

"Lord Pu Lie, what are you saying? I am not as good as you describe; you really are joking."

Watching Daili in this state, a flame rose in Pu Lie's heart, and he wished he could swallow this beautiful woman before him into his stomach.

After they finished dancing a few dances, Daili held her forehead, brushed a few strands of hair behind her ears, and said to Pu Lie, panting slightly.

"Lord Pu Lie, I am a bit tired; shall we rest for a while?"

Hearing Daili say this, and seeing her appearance at that moment, Pu Lie nodded immediately and replied in a low voice.

"Which room are you in? I will see you back."

As Pu Lie supported Daili away from the ball toward an empty guest room on the second floor of the luxurious house, seeing that the beautiful woman in his arms said nothing, Pu Lie had Lu Wang, who was following him, guard the door.

He then considerately brought Daili into the guest room and placed her on the bed; watching Daili gazing at him with watery, affectionate eyes, Pu Lie tore off his gentlemanly mask and bit Daili's red lips.

Just as Pu Lie was preparing to enjoy this delicious treat before him, he suddenly felt that Daili's dazed eyes were not quite right, and his body instinctively sensed a crisis.

What is going on? Where did this feeling of danger come from? Could it be this woman?

Thinking of this, Pu Lie prepared to let go of Daili, but was kissed by her again; this time, his body's warning was even stronger, and Pu Lie felt something trying to crawl into his mouth along Daili's tongue.

This time, Pu Lie pushed Daili away fiercely and used his Spiritual Power to remove the foreign object from his mouth.

He saw a green insect struggling constantly in his hand; his body's warning just now had come from this green insect before him.

At this, Pu Lie instantly lost interest; he looked at Daili with a fierce gaze and said in a gloomy tone.

"Speak, why do you have a Zerg parasite?"

At this moment, Daili was already delirious and could not answer Pu Lie's question at all; looking at the parasite in his hand, Pu Lie felt a sense of relief.

If it weren't for the Master strengthening his body and Spiritual Power, he would have been caught just now, parasitized by the filthy Zerg, and turned into a walking corpse.

"Lu Wang, come in!"

The room door was opened quickly; after Lu Wang entered and saw the parasite in Pu Lie's hand, he said in surprise, "This is a Zerg parasite? The Zerg have actually infiltrated the Inner City? Was this woman parasitized?"

Pu Lie said with a gloomy face, "The Zerg have started releasing parasites in the Inner City, then find me that source and snuff it out! The filthy Zerg actually want to lay their hands on a place the Master has taken a fancy to; it must be cleaned up!"

Lu Wang bowed and said to Pu Lie, "Yes, my Lord. What do you intend to do with this woman?"

Pu Lie looked at Daili, who had already fainted on the bed, and said to Lu Wang without a shred of emotion.

"Get her out of the room for me; remember to make her departure look natural, don't let others see any clues."

After saying this, Pu Lie put on his clothes, tidied his appearance, and left the guest room.
