Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1030: Chapter 1030 Long Night Endless, Beasts Roam (2nd Update)

”A gift for me?” Xu Bao was slightly startled.

Elder Madam Zhuo smiled and nodded, then turned to ask the maid behind her, ”Has Zhuo Yangyang arrived yet?”

”Madam, she hasn’t arrived yet, but we’ve already sent someone to hurry her. She should be here soon!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Madam Zhuo smiled at Xu Bao, ”Master Xu, please wait for a moment. The gift that will soon be brought to you will surely satisfy you! Here, let me toast to you first!”

With that, Elder Madam Zhuo raised her wine cup and drained it in one gulp.

Xu Bao sneered, ”Then I thank you, Elder Madam!”

He too raised the wine cup in front of him and drank it all in one go.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually heated up.

And just as the place buzzed with singing and dancing—

Dressed in a brand-new dress, Zhuo Yangyang appeared shyly in front of Xue An.

”Xue... Mr. Xue, my grandmother sent someone to rush me just now. Let’s go now!”

Xue An glanced at the carefully dressed, youthful, and beautiful girl and sighed softly in his heart before smiling.

”Alright! Let’s set off now!”

As the two were about to leave the courtyard and head towards the back residence,

A figure slowly stepped out from the shadows by the roadside, blocking their path.

”Zhuo... Uncle Zhuo?” Zhuo Yangyang exclaimed in surprise.

It was the Zhuo family butler who stood in front of them.

His expression was very peculiar; he deeply looked at the two, then lowered his head and said, ”Miss Yangyang, it’s quite late, where are you heading?”

Zhuo Yangyang excitedly said, ”Uncle Zhuo, didn’t you know? Tonight, our Zhuo Family is hosting a banquet to welcome a distinguished guest, and grandmother specifically asked me to attend!”

”Oh, is that so! Then congratulations to Miss Yangyang. Usually, the Elder Madam never flatters you, but this time letting you attend the banquet truly is unexpected,” the butler said lightly.

The tone revealed in his words was very peculiar, and at least Xue An noticed something intriguing by the slight brightness in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Zhuo Yangyang, engrossed in immense happiness, didn’t detect anything unusual and cheerfully said, ”Indeed! Maybe grandmother noticed my efforts before! Anyway, this is a great start, isn’t it?”

These words made the butler want to say more but eventually, he nodded, ”Yes! Indeed, a good start.”

”Mhm! Then Uncle Zhuo, we should leave now!” said Zhuo Yangyang, ready to leave.

At that moment, the butler suddenly asked, ”Is Mr. Xue also attending this banquet?”

Before Xue An could respond, Zhuo Yangyang had already eagerly said, ”Yes! Mr. Xue also received an invitation! Hehe...”

However, the butler ignored Zhuo Yangyang’s words and kept his eyes fixed straight on Xue An.

Xue An’s lips curled into a smile, and he gently nodded, ”Yes! With such a beautiful moonlight, it’s quite a waste to stay indoors. It’s perfect to accompany Miss Yangyang to enjoy the lively scene!”

After a moment of silence, the butler slowly nodded, ”The night is long and wild beasts roam. Miss Yangyang has just returned from her travels, surely very tired, so I hope at the banquet, if there’s nothing else, Mr. Xue could bring her back early to rest!”

Xue An, with a not-quite-smiling nod, responded, ”You need not worry, Butler Zhuo. Although there are many wild beasts, in my eyes, they are merely dishes!”

The exchange between the two went unheard by Zhuo Yangyang; she was busy adjusting her dress and headdress. The importance of this banquet was paramount to her, naturally, she wanted to present herself in the best possible state.

”When the steward of the Zhuo Family heard Xue An’s words, he gave him a deep look and then bowed to step aside, ’In that case, Miss Yangyang and Lord Xue, please feel free to proceed!’”

Zhuo Yangyang had been waiting impatiently and, upon hearing these words, nodded to the steward, ”Uncle Zhuo, let’s go!”

With that, she quickened her steps towards the back house.

Xue An, after walking a few steps forward, suddenly turned around and smiled at the steward.

”I guess the steward won’t be sleeping tonight, because tonight... it should be very lively!”

The steward was stunned, and by that time, Xue An had already turned and left.

The steward watched Xue An’s retreating figure, his eyes suddenly brimming with tears, and he murmured in a low voice, ”Mrs. Qian, if you are aware beneath the ground, please ensure your daughter stays out of trouble!”

Soon, Zhuo Yangyang and Xue An passed through the layers of the estate and reached the back house.

When Zhuo Yangyang first entered the banquet hall, the atmosphere was already bustling.

People were clinking their glasses in cheers and laughter, the scene one of peace and prosperity.

However, as soon as Zhuo Yangyang appeared at the entrance, the banquet hall gradually fell silent.

People stared in astonishment at the girl in a purple long dress, radiating youthful energy, beautiful enough to make even the elderly hearts flutter.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhuo Yangyang’s face turned slightly red, but she still lowered her head and took a few steps forward, bowing to Elder Madam Zhuo seated at the main seat.

”Greetings, Elder Madam!”

This soft call brought the similarly astounded Elder Madam Zhuo back to her senses, her eyes then flashing with resentment and anger.

Because just a moment ago, when she first saw Zhuo Yangyang, she had even hallucinated.

It was as if the lowly servant who had been beaten to death in front of her decades ago had come back to life.

This feeling filled Elder Madam Zhuo with murderous intent, although she hid it well, even managing a kindly smile.

”So it’s Yangyang! You’re so beautiful, I almost didn’t recognize you!”

Zhuo Yangyang blushed even deeper at the compliment, her head lowered, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Yet, she was completely unaware that at this moment, a pair of eyes as ferocious as a wild beast were fixated on her.

From the moment Zhuo Yangyang entered the banquet hall, Xu Bao who was sitting nearby kept his gaze on her.

Especially upon noticing the slight blush on Zhuo Yangyang’s face, his eyes revealed a chilling greed and brutality.

Like a fierce beast spotting a delicate, alluring little rabbit, almost wishing he could tear her apart on the spot.

This scene also caught Elder Madam Zhuo’s eye, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The fish... has indeed taken the bait!

Then she waved at Zhuo Yangyang, ”Yangyang, come here! Grandma has something to tell you!”

Zhuo Yangyang’s body shuddered.

Grandma...

This address felt familiar yet strange to her; although she had secretly called it several times just now, she never dared to say it openly.

Because she knew that Elder Madam Zhuo disliked her, so she dared not.

But unexpectedly today, she actually said it, thereby obviously acknowledging the Zhuo Family blood running through her veins!
