Chapter 345: I Said, I Truly Could Not Hold Back!

~8 min read 1,424 words

"That's right, Young Lady Scarlett, this is indeed the Fiery Ram!"

Before Dorr could give an answer, Gervas smiled and confirmed it first.

"Compared to that so-called Fire-Fluff Rabbit, my Fiery Ram is undoubtedly the best existence for surviving winter!"

"After all, one cannot always hug a Fire-Fluff Rabbit for warmth every day; what if its excrement ends up on one's body?"

"The Fiery Ram is different; one only needs to shear their wool, make clothes, and wear them anytime, anywhere, bringing a feeling of warmth."

"Moreover, this one of mine is a male Fiery Ram; it can at least breed dozens or even a hundred Fiery Ram offspring!"

"By then, the wool collected, changing one piece every week, would at least allow Catherine to wear it for over ten winters!"

Is this even human speech?

What do you mean by excrement ending up on one's body?

It is simply too disgusting...

Liam's face was flushed red at this moment, wishing he could go up and beat the hell out of this damn little noble.

But coincidentally, the gift the other party produced instantly outshone his own gift.

At this moment, even Scarlett was gazing intently at the Fiery Ram inside the wooden box.

Now, she no longer felt that this black, ugly fellow was ugly.

Instead, he was so attractive.

"Catherine, are you satisfied with this gift?"

Catherine pressed her red lips together; although she knew it was acting, a strange feeling still rose in her heart.

"I am very satisfied; thank you very much, Gervas!" Catherine said gratefully with affectionate eyes.

Hearing this, Gervas nodded in satisfaction and waved for Catherine's servants to take the Fiery Ram away.

Since it was a living creature, Catherine could not possibly handle the gift personally.

"Knight Mi Gen, continue!"

"There's more?"

Upon hearing Gervas's words again.

Scarlett looked at Gervas with a peculiar gaze in her beautiful eyes; her previous disdain for Gervas had diminished even further.

It was not strange that her attitude changed so quickly.

Females all admire strength, especially in this class-stratified noble world.

Gervas's move just now, like a top soldier returning, in a world that didn't even have a dedicated concept for showing off and slapping faces, could absolutely deliver a killing blow to many snobbish noble ladies.

Soon, Gervas's subordinates carried in another wooden box again.

However, why did this wooden box look somewhat familiar?

Just as everyone was puzzled, Mo Lisi's expression suddenly changed.

Because he had already recognized this square, flat, wide wooden box.

Wasn't this the box for the Magic Fan?

"That's right; I believe everyone has already seen it. This is the wooden box for the Magic Fan, so the third gift I am giving to Catherine is also a Magic Fan!" Gervas said with a comfortable smile.

"Also a Magic Fan?" Everyone was both shocked and puzzled.

Didn't Mo Lisi just say it was very difficult to purchase?

Gervas did not pause, "Of course, everyone, there are differences between Magic Fans and Magic Fans..."

Gervas opened the wooden box; subsequently, a Magic Fan with a pure silver texture, adorned with gilded floral craftsmanship, was displayed before everyone.

"This..."

Without Mo Lisi's iron Magic Fan highlighting it beforehand, perhaps everyone would not have been so dazzled.

After all, everyone present had seen gilded ornaments, let alone ornaments made of pure gold; some even had them in their own families.

But with the comparison to the previous iron Magic Fan, this silver Magic Fan was simply the embodiment of exquisite beauty.

Comparing the two, one was like a serf, while the other was a noble.

"This... this is impossible..." Mo Lisi's face was full of disbelief.

Because his iron Magic Fan was indeed something his father had managed to purchase in the Royal Capital with great difficulty.

If he had not learned that this blind date target was a bloodline descendant of the Hernand family, his father certainly would not have let him bring such a gift.

But now, what did this silver one of the other party count as?

"My Lord Mo Lisi, there is nothing impossible; you probably do not know yet? Now, all Magic Fans are starting to be made from brass!"

"And the higher-end ones are my Silver Magic Fan! The value is about fifty gold coins each!"

Speaking thus, Gervas directly turned on the switch; the next moment, that strong whooshing wind appeared, directly proving this was not just a showpiece.

Subsequently, Gervas gave the gift to Catherine again.

Thus, Gervas's gifts were finally all given.

However, although there were only three items, they completely crushed the self-confidence of several noble young masters.

After all, among the five, it was already Dorr, Mo Lisi, and Liam whose gifts had higher value.

Gervas thoroughly outshone those three of them; the other two were not even worth mentioning.

"Gentlemen, do you still think I was deliberately belittling you just now? Especially My Lord Mo Lisi, I said, I truly could not hold back!"

"You..." Mo Lisi was so angry he was fuming from seven orifices.

However, these young masters did not have the impulse to resort to violence after losing their temper as in their past lives.

After all, they were all nobles.

"Young Lady Catherine, thank you for your hospitality; I have some urgent matters, so I will take my leave first!" Having spoken, Mo Lisi headed directly for the main gate.

"Young Lady Catherine, I also have matters to attend to; I will take my leave first!"

Seeing this, Dante and the other young men could no longer stay, and likewise spoke up to take their leave.

"Mo Lisi, Dante..." Seeing this, Dole and Scarlett immediately rose and chased after them.

This was a mission entrusted to them by the family, so upon seeing such a situation, the two naturally felt anxious.

As for Catherine, her original aloofness was once again suppressed; instead, she smiled slightly and said, "Take care on your way!"

Saying this, Catherine also rose to her feet.

As the host, she still needed to see them off.

However, her pace was very slow, as if deliberately waiting for the group to walk a bit farther.

By the time she reached the main gate of the inner castle, servants had already led out the horses, and Mo Lisi and the others had boarded their carriages.

"Cousin Catherine, Mo Lisi and the others are preparing to return. Scarlett and I will see them off first, and we too take our leave!"

Clearly, Scarlett and Dole had failed to dissuade the group.

Catherine was more than willing. "Cousin Dole, Cousin Scarlett, please convey my greetings to my grandfather!"

Soon, the young noble lords departed, and Dole and Scarlett left as well.

The entire castle returned to silence.

"Phew! They're finally gone!"

At this moment, Catherine suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.

Gervas found it amusing; even an aloof goddess like Catherine had moments of great pressure.

"Catherine, you wouldn't be angry that I drove them away, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Catherine turned with a complex expression in her eyes. "Gervas, I should be thanking you!"

"By the way, what exactly did you come here for this time, bringing so many fine things? Are you preparing to visit some noble in Iron Wolf City?!"

"If I said I came specifically to help you out of this predicament, would you believe me?"

A glimmer flashed through Catherine's eyes; she looked deeply at Gervas and said, "I believe you!"

Good heavens! You believe me just like that?

Gervas was stunned. "Catherine, don't you question how I knew they were coming and even prepared so many gifts in advance?"

"I don't want to ask, but since you said it, I believe you. You once saved me in just this way!"

Silence instantly fell over the scene.

By now, the sky had grown completely dark; with the guests gone, the servants had also dispersed to their respective duties.

Thus, the two stood very close, close enough to hear each other's breathing.

And Catherine's final words caused a hint of ambiguity to arise in the entire scene.

Gervas looked at the beauty before him, whose exquisite face was enough to take one's breath away, and his throat involuntarily swallowed.

"In that case, shouldn't you be thanking me?"

"How do you want me to thank you?" Catherine's sapphire-blue, gem-like eyes fixed tightly on Gervas.

Good heavens! Gervas exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

Gulp!

As if possessed by a ghost, he said, "How about... a sweet kiss?"
