Fox's expression immediately darkened upon hearing that. His frozen right hand was trembling slightly, while his left hand was clenched tightly into a fist.
"Hahaha!"
Gustav and Tauros both burst into laughter, and they almost fell of their chairs amid their raucous guffaws.
Jinx and Havid were trying to repress their laughter with all their might. One of them was looking up at the crystal chandelier overhead, while the other suddenly developed a keen interest in a little black dot on his table. However, both of them were trembling uncontrollably with mirth. Havid was the first to break, and he roared with laughter as he turned to Fox. "Pfft... Hahaha! I can't hold it in any longer! Fox, I actually always wanted to tell you something: your a*ss is pretty white... Hahahaha!"
"Hahaha! You saw it too? I also saw it! Hahahaha!" Jinx also erupted into raucous laughter, even to the extent that tears were flowing from his eyes.
Yabemiya immediately turned her head to the side, trying not to join them in their laughter. However, she simply couldn't help but smile at the thought of the high and mighty Fox being chased around in the nude.
Alex... I didn't think that he was that type of person. However, that Fox guy is clearly not a good person, so Alex must have been punishing him. I wonder if he was with the princess at the time. A hint of surprise, confusion, and wistfulness flashed through her eyes.
"So you were running around in the nude? Like streaking? Eww! What a shameless baddie!" Amy turned a disdainful glance toward Fox.
Did that happen? Mag also faltered slightly upon hearing that. He couldn't find that scenario in his memories, and he didn't recognize Fox, so he could only assume that he was with Irina back when that happened.
Fox took a deep breath to calm himself down before firing a shot at Dracula in return. "Heh, Dracula, don't you vampires proclaim that you only drink blood, and never eat vegetables? I heard that Princess Irina forced you to eat grass for three days, and even your hair was dyed a grass green color."
Dracula's smile immediately stiffened as if he was forced to recall something painful. His expression gradually twisted, and an unhealthy flush appeared on his pale cheeks.
"Pfft... Hahaha, I remember that. It was on the Demon Plaza, and he was forced to give a live performance of a herbivorous vampire. They were even selling tickets for 10 silver coins per ticket for spectators. I also bought a ticket, and it was the first time I've ever seen a vampire enjoy eating grass so much." Tauros had almost passed out from laughter.
"I also saw it, and I even brought along my son. I laughed for an entire year whenever I thought about that." Gustav was also gasping for air.
"Holy f*ck! Ar... aren't you guys supposed to be on my side?" Dracula looked at Tauros and Gustav with a pained expression.
"I almost forgot about that. I flew over just to see it, and it was the first time I've ever seen a vampire eat grass so happily; I didn't think it was you!" Jinx looked at Dracula with a surprised expression before bursting into laughter again.
Yabemiya was biting down on her lower lip, trying her best to repress her laughter. "Irina?" Mag was a little surprised to hear that. However, he couldn't help but chuckle at the mental image of a vampire being forced to eat grass. That girl was truly an extraordinary person.
Furthermore, she was selling tickets to spectators; was she trying to use those earnings to fund her journey? She had escaped alone from the elven settlement to explore the Norland Continent, after all, so she had to earn money. That was certainly a unique way to do it, though...
Princess Irina! Sally's eyes lit up upon hearing that. She had also emulated Irina by running away from home, and she was surprised to hear about her idol here. She thought to herself, The princess is so awesome! She really did go the Demon Islands, and she even made a 9th-tier vampire eat grass! But, why did she charge entrance fees to spectators? Could it be...?!
Sally's eyes immediately widened. There were two reasons why she was still at Chaos City, the first of which was that she had been captivated by Mamy Restaurant's delicious food, and the second reason was that she didn't have enough money to go anywhere.
Only after leaving the Wind Forest did she realize that it was difficult to go anywhere on the Norland Continent without
money.
Elves were very close to nature, but they couldn't survive just drinking dew. Furthermore, lodging, clothing, and other things like that all cost money.
She had worked at a small motel for 30 copper coins a day, so she knew just how difficult it was to earn money. However, Irina's epic money-making ploy opened up a whole new world to her.
So money can be earned like this! As expected of Princess Irina... Sally was genuinely amazed. If she were in Irina's shoes, even if she could defeat that vampire, she definitely wouldn't be able to make him eat grass, then profit from doing so.
"Uncle Bat, didn't you say that you don't eat vegetables? That elf princess was trying to help you by feeding you grass!" Amy looked at Dracula with an excited expression as she said, "You have to be a good vampire, so you can't be picky, and have to eat a bit of everything. Father told me that."
Dracula immediately turned to look at Amy, and his eyes widened as a ghastly mental image appeared in his mind. The mental image was of a beautiful elf with a black leather whip in her hand stuffing grass into his mouth as she repeated the same words over and over again. "Be a good vampire now. Don't be picky; you have to eat a bit of everything..."
Even though he was hearing those identical words after a span of five years, he was still struck by the urge to fall to his knees. His head rang as he stared at Amy's intricate features, bright blue eyes, and pointy little ears, and he was struck by a sense of familiarity.
No! Impossible! There's no way that she's her child! Dracula shook his head violently to rid himself of that thought. Who would have thought that he would hear the same words spoken by a little girl after so many years?
Dracula glared at Fox with gritted teeth.
After that first exchange, both sides were evenly matched, with no one gaining the ascendancy. "Don't laugh, Tauros. I heard that the porcupine battle boars that you were breeding rioted because of Irina. You went to chase her down, but you were chased by the boars instead for an entire night, right?" Jinx chuckled as he looked at Tauros.
"You're one to talk, Jinx. Who was the one who boasted that he was the strongest in the world, only to lose in an arm-wrestling match to Alex, and was forced to call him father after that?" Tauros immediately fired back.
"You seem pretty happy, Gustav. I heard a certain someone was trying to peek on the elf princess as she was showering, only to be imprisoned in space by her in the tree of life for an entire
year."
"Heh, that's funny, Havid, you seem to have forgotten that you encountered Alex during his first trip to the dragon island. He said you were too hot, and kicked you into the ocean. You stayed at the bottom of the sea for three days before daring to come back up."
Meanwhile, Mag was laughing himself silly in the kitchen...
