My exclusive card pool

Chapter 44: Confrontation on the Candy Carriage (asking for monthly tickets)

"It's Miss Bev."

Wang Xi smiled elegantly and extended his hand.

"It is my honor to know your real name."

"You are very good at talking, Mr. Kay."

Bev spoke lazily, extending her hand as well. However, she didn't shake it, instead gently placing her hand on the young man's palm.

Wang Xi was stunned.

He reacted quickly, immediately standing up from the marshmallow cushion, leaning over and kissing his thumb as a sign of respect.

"Don't be so reserved."

At this time, Bev's teasing voice came.

Wang Xi raised his eyes and looked at him.

The witch lifted her curly hair and glanced sideways.

"I allow you to kiss my knuckles and the back of my hand."

"..."

Wang Xi said nothing, but followed the witch's wishes and kissed her on the second knuckle and the back of her hand twice, separating as soon as they touched.

The witch's smile deepened.

She pulled her hand away and took the opportunity to help the young man move his black hair to the side of his cheek. She then tapped his lips with her index finger to wipe off the tiny bit of chocolate on them.

Bev smiled and held her finger in her mouth, narrowing her eyes and saying:
"Although I don't like sweets, it tastes completely different when it touches Lord Kay's mouth..."

Even though Wang Xi was experienced, he still found it difficult to resist the witch's fierce provocation.

His heartbeat inevitably quickened.

Fortunately, Wang Xi took timely measures at this time.

——God’s second!
He suddenly calmed down amid the angry scolding and warnings from the villain in his heart.

Wang Xi is very clear about this.

In the extreme tug-of-war with high-level players, any mistake made by Nana would cause the situation to get out of control and be swept away by the opponent in one wave.

"I'm surprised that Miss Bev, known as the Sugar Witch, doesn't like sweets."

Wang Xi smiled elegantly and sat back on the mat.

"Then I wonder what Miss Bev likes?"

When faced with a strong attack, one should avoid the sharp edge. At the same time, one should strictly follow the "reciprocity principle," put the other party at the center of the conversation, and be a good listener.

In short, during the laning phase, you must maintain your positioning and agility, avoiding control skills while not missing any hits. Then, you need to add emotional value to the characters.

Wang Xi's mind was full of thoughts, but he remained calm.

As expected, when the topic quietly shifted back to the witch, Bev became interested and said with a smile:

"I like wine."

As she spoke, she stared into Wang Xi's eyes and added:
"The bitterer the wine, the better."

"In that case, I suggest that we change the afternoon tea later to wine. I would like to drink with Miss Bev."

Wang Xi smiled.

The witch raised her eyebrows.

Although I had only just met this young man, talking to him was very easy and pleasant.

As one of the three witches in the Magic Forest, Bev has come into contact with only two boring sisters besides stupid monsters during her long time.

Gai's appearance was like an unexpected pebble. Though insignificant, it stirred ripples in the calm and quiet lake of her heart.

"Okay." The witch smiled with eyes as bright as the moon.

"Miss Bev, would you like to try some of mine?"

At this time, Pinocchio finished listening to the conversation between the two and turned to the Sugar Witch and said that although he thought the witch was annoying, he had eaten her candy after all, so he had to be polite.

He pointed at his messy mouth covered with frosting and gave him a sincere look.

"..."

Bev glanced at the boy and her smile disappeared.

He said in a cold tone:
"I don't have the habit of using iron sheets as cutlery."

"If you don't want to taste it, then don't try it. Do you think I want to?"

Pinocchio snorted.

He turned to look at his good friend Kai and said:
"Gai, try it then."

"..."

Wang Xi noticed that Pinocchio raised his chin and gave him a hopeful look, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.

The shrimp heads I racked my brains for couldn't compare to the sudden inspiration of this beetroot...

Ugh!
He sighed deeply in his heart.

Then he quietly took out a handkerchief and wiped Pinocchio's little face clean.

Bev saw this scene and her lips curled up slightly. For some reason, she always felt that this was like a gentle brother wiping the face of his silly brother.

"Gai, you're so nice."

Pinocchio chuckled and was about to pull up his clothes.

"You didn't see Medusa's eyes just now. I felt like you were disappointed. Then look at mine..."

Snapped!
Wang Xi grabbed Pinocchio's hand, stopped his absurd behavior, and said helplessly:
"No thanks. I'm more interested in women."

"Oh." Pinocchio nodded, seeming to understand, but he didn't insist. "Then next time I go back to the Clockwork Kingdom, I'll ask my father to transform my body into a woman's."

"..."

Wang Xi's face froze.

He found it funny and also a little touching.

This guy is so naive that he's stupid.

"Pinocchio."

Wang Xi's expression straightened and his tone became serious.

The boy looked puzzled.

"If you want your father to be proud of you, it's not enough to emulate so-called heroes."

Wang Xi also didn't want the child to go astray.

He sighed secretly and taught earnestly:

"You should be a noble man."

"A noble person?" Pinocchio was still puzzled.

"Yes," Wang Xi nodded. "Their personalities may be different, but most of them have one thing in common: they insist on being themselves."

“Don’t change yourself to please others. You will no longer be yourself if you do that.”

"Stay true to yourself..."

Pinocchio nodded, not quite understanding.

"Even for Kai, right?"

"No." Wang Xi shook his head.

The Sugar Witch opposite was listening with great interest, her eyes frequently falling on the black-haired young man.

Interesting man...

The candy carriage continued to travel for a while.

Wow.

Bev put the parchment down, rerolled and tied it, and handed it back.

"Mr. Gai, so your purpose in searching for the basilisk is to complete this demon hunting commission and thus get closer to Minister Ando?"

"Yes." Wang Xi took the parchment scroll and put it away. "I want to seek the help of the Snow Queen, but the snow mountain is blocked and inaccessible. I have to think of other ways."

"But you have to know that the Coin Master Dick, who issued the commission, and Minister Ando are not good people..."

Bev sneered.

"The Stag Kingdom is rampantly logging outside the Magic Forest, polluting the environment. I've captured several managers of silver refineries and uncovered many secrets through magic."

"While they claim to be creating wealth for Queen Siana, they engage in rampant corruption, stuffing countless silver coins into their own pockets."

"If you want to contact Queen Siana through these two bugs, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Hearing this, Wang Xi frowned slightly.

It was a surprise that he could get information about the Minter and the Minister from the Sugar Witch. At the same time, he also realized that as the witch said, things might not go so smoothly.

...

...

The candy carriage finally stopped.

The wheels of the lollipop car stopped, the door of the heart-shaped chocolate car opened, and Wang Xi and Pinocchio followed the witch out of the car.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

Pinocchio's dark eyes lit up and he exclaimed.

Wang Xi looked around and saw a clearing in the woods. Flowers made of various colored syrups were scattered all around, along with cake mushrooms as tall as a person. The chocolate milk cap was dotted with star-shaped chopped nuts.

Before me stood a small house made of candies and sweets. Gingerbread walls, rock sugar windows, silk tapestries, candied candy pillars, and a chocolate roof...

You can smell the rich and complex fruity fragrance and sweetness, but it will not cause nausea or discomfort, but will make you feel happy both physically and mentally.

Everything seems like a dream.

"The witch is back!"

At this time, small doors opened at the bottom of the trunks of those giant mushrooms, and more than a dozen "mushroom men" ran out.

Their umbrellas were colorful, like conical hats on their heads, and their round bodies had short limbs. They came running, shaking their heads, and gathered around Bev.

"Sugar Mushroom Girl (Green/One Star)"

The entry appeared in Wang Xi's sight.

These monsters were created by Bev herself using candy magic. Their voices were childish, like those of a girl.

"Zanni, show these two guests inside."

The Sugar Witch gave a lazy order.

The leading mushroom girl with a dark blue umbrella-shaped cap happily agreed, and ran to Wang Xi with several other mushroom figures, enthusiastically pulling his trouser legs and walking into the candy house.

"Dear guest, please come in."

The sugar mushroom girl named Zanni said in a baby voice.

"Okay." Wang Xi smiled and took a step following their instructions.

At the same time, he looked at Pinocchio, who was standing not far away. He was also being enthusiastically embraced and was scratching his head with an embarrassed look on his face.

Wang Xi really wanted to ask him, were you really surrounded and spat on by these little guys, and were also cursed and humiliated by them?

Although he was very curious about how Pinocchio would react, he still held back... to prevent the robot boy from blushing and exploding on the spot.

After entering the house, Wang Xi was arranged to sit at the cake table, and the sugar mushroom girls considerately pushed a high-back chair made of sandwich cookies for him.

Bev walked over gracefully, with a sugar mushroom girl on each side holding up her skirt.

"You're welcome, Mr. Gay."

The witch also slowly sat down and smiled.

She raised her hand and suddenly all sorts of desserts appeared on the table, served on shiny transparent rock sugar plates.

Then Bev called Zanni to bring a bottle of red wine with a long neck and a fat belly.

Gurgling...

The witch poured a glass of wine for Wang Xi and handed him the goblet of rock sugar.

"I brewed the bitter wine myself."

"Thank you."

Wang Xi took it and took a sip.

Suddenly, the mixed aromas of dark chocolate, coffee, wormwood, grapefruit and citrus peel spread, and the rich smell of alcohol rose.

"A very special bitter wine. Miss Bev has great taste."

Wang Xi commented with a smile.

The blonde witch had just taken a sip, and when she heard this, she immediately covered her mouth and chuckled, feeling very happy.

The two sisters never drank this kind of wine. How could drinking alone and admiring themselves compare to this scene?

"If you like it, let's drink more."

Bev's cheeks flushed slightly, perhaps from the alcohol or the sweet words.

"Of course." Wang Xi clinked glasses with him.

Their eyes met, and the complex taste of the wine came to their taste buds, and it seemed that even the atmosphere became complicated.

"Where's my wine?"

Pinocchio standing aside was a little stunned.

Tanggu Niang's little hand emerged from the edge of the table and placed a glass of milk in front of the boy.
