Do not confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 754: Lanqi's Rescuer

"This cat fairy dances so handsomely."

“This is street dance!”

The audience watched the Cat Fairy on the stage display all his special skills and applauded.

As expected of a special performance version, even the cat’s dance has been completely redesigned!
They immersed themselves in this grand audio-visual feast, wandering in the ocean of the Phantom of the Theatre and the Angel of Music.

"My mana is running out, send it."

The cat fairy stood with his hands on his hips and panted, and he could hardly recite his lines.

at this time.

The gray girl was wearing a floor-length dress, looking stunningly beautiful, and she walked out with light steps.

"Oh, this dress is so cute!"

She spoke like reciting poetry.

Her appearance scared the cat fairy.

"Thank you, dear cat fairy, you are my second parent!"

Talia said gratefully.

She now remembers the first two sentences of the script.

"You are my second parents! Thank you!"

The cat fairy replied unhappily,
"Okay, it's time to take you to the party. Are you ready?"

He followed the procedure and asked the gray girl.

"..."

Then there was a long silence on the stage.

Talia's head was buzzing and she had no idea what to say next.

If Lanqi had also appeared, it would have been fine if they had been imprisoned together. But now she was alone facing so many audiences, and the only thing she wanted was to escape.

"Oops, this outfit seems a little too bright. I can change into something more low-key."

Talia could only improvise on her own. After shouting this, she picked up her skirt and ran backstage.

She had to take another look at the script!
"slow!!"

The cat fairy shouted at the top of his lungs,

"What can I say?"

If he lets this guy run away, he will have to die here today!

Talia paused guiltily and looked back at the cat fairy with an extremely pitiful look.

She really didn't know what to say next.

The other side of the stage.

"Today it does seem like the performance is a little different than usual."

There was a lot of whispering in the audience, and many of the audience who had watched the show before noticed the difference in the choreography.

Abigail returned to her seat with lingering fear.

Even though she felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the actors her friend had found for her tonight, that friend had always been reliable, so there was no reason for her to use two idiots to tease her.

At least there is absolutely no problem with the temperament of both of them.

It's like he was born for this show.

It was the first time Abigail had felt this way.

"Gray girl, hurry up and get on the carriage, go to the ball, and meet your destiny! You must come back before midnight, otherwise the magic will be ineffective!"

The Cat Fairy warned.

"I-I'm not ready yet...!"

Talia quickly explained, waving her hands.

She wasn't sure if there was a line, but she really wasn't ready for the next scene!
"Governor, the Governor is a demon, right? He must be very scary, and maybe even a very old monster. I am a human woman in her prime, so it's normal for me to be afraid of the Governor, so please let me prepare for a while."

Talia added.

The cat fairy tilted his head and frowned.

He didn't remember this phrase.

Although it also fits the character of the gray girl.

But if you perform it your way, won’t the whole stage be in chaos?
"Go ahead, Gray Girl. You are the most charming princess tonight. Your Governor is waiting for you."

The Cat Immortal started to follow the procedure directly, speaking faster, transforming into an unskippable plot, responding to the female lead, and raising his staff to indicate that the stage could change.

Panoramic music once again sounded around the stage and the audience.

"Start jumping in the air~"

"Your worries will be swept away by jumping~"

"Nothing is more exciting than dancing~"

"Don't be afraid, because! I am your destined girl~"

"Wait……"

Talia looked around in panic. The stage background and decorations had begun to change.

"The gray girl was shocked by the miracle. She looked like she had never seen the world before. Her expression was vividly portrayed."

"This actress is quite talented. I underestimated her just now."

"How on earth does she manage to look like both a country girl and a princess at the same time?"

Abigail in the audience listened to the scattered comments and let out a breath.

Maybe it was just that the leading actor was not in the right state before.

Isn't this acting skills?
It should function normally next time.

The gray girl got on the card house carriage with tears in her eyes and said goodbye to the cat fairy.

The bell of the Governor's Mansion could be heard from afar. The projection screen behind the stage announced that the ball was about to begin. The carriage sped away. The Cat Immortal watched the gray girl go away and smiled with relief.

The stage lights dimmed and the Cat Fairy left the stage.

When the stage lights up again.

The walls are dotted with reliefs and murals in the style of the Age of Gods, recreating the epic of the dance between humans and gods in the Cretan mythology.

The gorgeous floor-to-ceiling mirror is so bright that you can reflect yourself, and the clinking of glasses and the clanging of goblets in the room weave together a luxurious melody of sound and light.

The magnificent palace hall was brightly lit, with singing and dancing.

The life is extravagant and the fragrance is charming.

Noble girls and ladies gathered together, vying for beauty.

The noise and laughter came like a tide, never stopping.

Even without a spotlight, people's attention was quickly drawn to a figure.

The black-haired demon governor was wearing a jade-colored tuxedo, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and he had little interest in the dance.

"Mr. Governor, there are so many beauties here today, you have to cheer up. No matter which one you choose, we will bless you!"

"Yes, Mr. Governor, go dance with the girl you like, maybe she will fall in love with you at first sight."

The provincial ministers and dignitaries nearby were still trying to curry favor with the governor sent from the demon world.

To some extent, the governor's status is higher than any of them. If they offend him, it will undoubtedly be an extremely serious diplomatic incident.

But if you gain his appreciation, it will become an invaluable support.

The Governor nodded in response, reluctantly stood up, and wandered among the crowd.

It seemed that he did this to deal with those overly attentive nobles, or he simply wanted to relax.

"I came to the human kingdom to escape the marriage arranged by my family. I don't want to marry a half-demon whom I have never even met. How could I possibly fall in love with a human woman here? It's ridiculous."

The Demon Chief recited his own monologue and sighed lazily.

After his unremitting efforts, Lanqi finally memorized the lines roughly, thanks to his good mentality and administrative ability in handling official documents for a long time.

The character of this demon governor is probably a demon nobleman who is full of career. Now he just wants to be a good governor, but in order to deal with the family in the demon world, he must show enthusiasm for socializing in human society.

Suddenly, a gray-haired figure appeared in the Governor's sight.

People at the party kept coming and going, and everyone kept their eyes on the Governor.

At this time, the Governor was just staring blankly at the mysterious beauty whose face was vaguely visible in the distance through the crowd.

The dessert tower on the banquet table was decorated with cheese and coconut crisps dotted with gold foil, the crystal dark chocolate was cut into geometric shapes, the soufflé baked with fruit wine was shining, and it was placed on ice made from the purest mineral spring, a piece of which would be taken away from time to time.

She was eating her snack by herself.

It seemed that the party made her very uneasy, and only eating something could make her feel better.

"How could there be such a pure girl who is so indifferent to power and interests at this banquet and only cares about enjoying the food..."

the Governor murmured.

To be honest, he couldn't pronounce this line normally.

Fortunately he held his nerve.

Talia had just not had dinner, and these pastries were sweet and delicious. The wealthy Brillda Opera House even used the most high-end custom-made desserts for the desserts at the banquet. As Talia ate, a happy smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, and she gradually forgot that this was a stage.

Following the Governor's line of sight, all the guests present looked at the gray-haired girl from time to time.

"Oh my god, who is this girl? She has such a stunning beauty."

The provincial ministers were amazed.

"That's right. There is such a beautiful girl in the world. No wonder the governor is fascinated by her. She is really beautiful. Whose daughter is she?"

Another minister who had followed came over and asked.

"Humph, she must be a princess from some principality, otherwise why would she dress herself up so beautifully."

The noble lady turned aside jealously and whispered beneath her folding fan.

However, the scene changed.

Talia was unmoved.

"Tata, stop eating. It's your turn now."

Lanqi reminded Talia in his heart.

"!"

Talia reacted with a start, realizing the gazes of everyone at the party.

She looked at the half piece of cake in her hand and quickly stuffed it into her mouth before turning around and looking at the governor with a sweet smile.

The moment their eyes met, time slowed down.

It seemed like this was not the first time they met, but it also seemed like they had never met such a special person before.

It was not until a while later that a smile finally appeared on the corner of the Governor's mouth.

"Interesting woman, you have successfully caught my attention."

The governor walked down the stairs, a holy and gentle light emanating from his body, and came to the side of the gray girl.

Everyone at the banquet followed the direction the Governor was heading.

And the gray girl also looked at the Governor.

"Why are you looking at me?" Lanqi asked Talia.

"You are interrupting my meal, sir."

Talia tried hard to recall the plot and composed lines that roughly fit the situation.

"Oh?"

Lanqi thought something was wrong. He remembered the original line was "Because you looked at me first, sir."

But now he can only cooperate with Talia and continue acting.

"Your answer is really interesting."

Lanqi walked towards her aggressively with a confident smile in his eyes.

However, the Governor's personality is originally a very domineering type.

Being choked by a girl like this.

On the contrary, she might arouse more interest in me.

"You, what are you coming here for?"

Talia couldn't remember her lines anyway, so she asked hastily when she saw that Lanqi had no intention of stopping.

She took half a step back until the banquet table was behind her and she had nowhere to retreat, but the governor was already standing in front of her, leaving her nowhere to escape.

"Beautiful girl, would you please do me the honor of dancing with me?"

The Governor placed one hand on the banquet table, his body almost touching hers, and spoke to her sincerely.

His movements were polite, but his eyes and attitude were firm, and he didn't seem to reject this option.

"I……"

When Talia heard Lanqi's meaningful emphasis, her heartbeat and blood pressure suddenly soared, and her chest began to rise and fall.

But she felt that... Lanqi was more domineering than usual today...

Indeed, the role of the Governor is somewhat domineering, unlike her stupid disciple who has never been a Governor.

Talia's eyes moved left and right, avoiding Lanqi's scorching gaze.

She unexpectedly felt this strong man, which made her heart beat faster.

But that’s just in the play.

In reality, even if Lanqi had ten thousand courages, he would not dare to push her against the wall.

The Governor was now waiting for Cinderella to tell him the answer in a gentle and moving manner.

Even though everyone knows the subsequent answer, they can't help but hold their breath for this youthful and exciting moment.

Cinderella was still hesitating.

"Can……"

She felt that being so close to Lanqi made her brain a mess and she could no longer remember what to say. Her only instinct was that she was very hungry. She didn't even have dinner today and followed Lanqi to the mafia's territory.

Wait, if we follow logic, the gray girl’s next line should be...!
Talia instantly thought of the following plot.

"Can you wait until I finish dinner?"

she responded.

The audience was silent.

"?"

Lanqi was stunned and stood there looking at her.

You can't reject me here, sister! !

Refusing the invitation and choosing to eat is the final scene. Now we are not that close, and this may be the only chance you have in your life to change your destiny. You can’t be thinking about eating at this time!

Lanqi shouted in his heart.

And being led by Talia like this.

How should the next line be said?

He won’t do it either!
"How about this, I'll accompany you to finish eating, and then we can dance together?"

Lanqi said with cold sweat on his forehead.

He tried his best to round the plot back.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Governor, to wait for me."

Talia then realized she had said the wrong word and nodded.

She pressed her palm gently against the Governor's chest, pushing him away.

Then she moved sideways, looked down at the dessert on the banquet table, and no longer let him face her hot cheeks.

Confident that the rescue was successful, Lanqi slowly relaxed.

"..."

The other actors seemed calm.

They thought to themselves that there shouldn't be such a scene...

Could it be that Miss Abigail changed the arrangement at the last minute and I was the only one not notified?

No matter what, they will never speak until it is their turn.

The Governor and everyone else at the party then turned their attention to Talia.

Talia's hand began to tremble as she picked up a piece of dark chocolate and brought it to her mouth.

She glanced away and for the first time found this thing so hard to swallow.

Being stared at by thousands of people.

Everyone was watching her as Talia ate alone.

She just can't eat anymore!

"..."

Especially Lanqi's tense expression, it can be seen that Lanqi wanted to laugh when seeing her in jail.

No way, Lanqi, are you going to play with my heart in this situation too?

Her blood pressure is rising again.

But Lanqi was betting that she couldn't do anything to him on stage, so he took the opportunity and started.

"Do you have a bad appetite today, girl?"

Lanci asked Talia with concern.

"..."

Talia looked at him and tried to smile without anger.

She wanted to ask Lanqi, can you really eat it when so many people are staring at you?

And Ranchi completed another daily task.

Do you really dare to play anywhere?
The two people on the stage were in a stalemate.

There were slight sighs from the audience. For some reason, the play stopped at this point.

"Master, move, you can't get stuck in the plot here."

Lanqi gradually realized Talia's stubbornness and told her in his heart.

If this continues, the audience will become confused.

"You were the one who directed the lines in this direction. Putting aside the fact that I forgot the lines, didn't you consider how your plot would develop?"

Talia conveyed her thoughts and argued with him.

"Master, let's review the situation at home, okay? For now, just treat it as card making and cooperate with me first."

"You are obviously laughing at me, and you want me to cooperate with you, and you are still laughing, you are still laughing!"

The two were acting on the stage, and they were having a fierce conflict in their hearts.

"What are you doing?"

"Why don't you act anymore?"

"Did both of you forget the words?"

As time passed, the questioning voices from the audience became louder and louder, almost one after another, and after a while, they might even start to make a scene.

Lanqi felt that this couldn't go on any longer.

He grabbed Talia's hand and gently supported her chin with his other hand, helping her put the snack in her hand into her mouth.

"Girl, my patience is limited. It's time to dance. This is my final warning."

Lanqi said in the Governor's deep voice, looking at Talia.

"!!"

Talia's eyes widened, and she puffed out her left cheek while chewing the chocolate. She didn't expect Lanqi to force-feed her!

"Oh!"

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

This is a passage that is not in the original book, but in this situation and scene, there is not much sense of incongruity!

……

The city of Nystro.

There was smoke coming out of the chimney in the distance; dinner was being prepared in some mansion.

In front of the screen, Hyperion frowned slightly and put watermelon seeds into her mouth absentmindedly.

"What's wrong, Hugh?"

Shinora asked, tilting her head.

It should be a happy comedy, but Hugh Bao's expression looks very aggrieved.

"nothing."

Hyperion realized that there was something wrong with her expression and quickly smiled and shook her head.

To be honest, this play was performed very well.

But maybe she was overthinking it, she always had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

The Governor's temperament and demeanor have a bit of the Ranch flavor of Rocky McCarthy's era, and the Gray Girl's words and deeds are exactly like Tata.

The show was literally like watching Ranchi and Tata in love.

Hyperion felt her nose sour, her chest ached a little, and she couldn't help but have all sorts of random thoughts in her mind.

But Talia has always been aloof and she keeps a clear distance from Lanqi at home. It is impossible for her to have an affair with Lanqi behind her back as in the play...

"Xiu Bao, are you finally aware of defense?"

Antanas poked Hyperion with his elbow.

She naturally noticed that the actor and actress acted very similar to Ranchitalia.

"what."

Hyperion looked at Antanas and denied it with her expression.

"I believe in Tata. I believe in her 100%!"
