Chapter 383 - Im Willing to Take You Leave. (1/2)

Next, Red Rose brought out a bottle of brewed wine and cups from the room. Xiao Bing poured the wine into two cups, and looked at the dishes on the table. He could not help, but give a bitter smile.

Red Rose and he sat face to face. Looking at Xiao Bing’s face, she could not help asking, “What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?”

“Yes, I like it”. Pointing to the plates, Xiao Bing said, “Braised meat, cold dishes, fried meat with garlic, and two glasses of white wine. I can’t believe you have such good food here.”

Red Rose said with a smile, “Are you thinking that we, as goblins, only eat raw meat and drink human blood, just like those in your fairy tales?”

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “It seems that you have read a lot of mythology novels about my country.”

Red Rose stood up with a smile. She went to a nearby cabinet. There were several big drawers at the bottom. After pulling them open, he saw that they were filled with books. Then she took out two of them casually. Xiao Bing looked at them and said with a smile, “It’s true that you have read a lot. The Legend of Deification and Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.”

“Well, your imagination is really fantastic.”

Red Rose put the books down, and sat opposite Xiao Bing again.

Xiao Bing asked curiously, “Why haven’t you asked my name all this time?”

“Is that important? It’s just a code. For example, my name is Red Rose. It’s because I saw a painting of a rose in the book. It’s so beautiful. I feel that I’ve never seen such beautiful and moving things. Later, I entrusted our King Mamba to bring some seeds for me from outside. He brought seeds and flowers for me. But seeds are not suitable for planting in our homeland. The flowers he brought back have withered. Originally, I was called Snake Beauty. Later, because I was longing particularly for roses, I was called Red Rose.”

Xiao Bing said in surprise, “Were you really called Snake Beauty?”

Snake Beauty was a name Xiao Bing called Red Rose, in his heart.

Red Rose looked at Xiao Bing and asked with a smile, “But your name is still meaningful, because you are my man. Tell me, what’s your name?”

Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, “It should be said that you are my woman, not I am your man. Women who have same type of character like you, are known as domineering ladies, outside.”

Red Rose chuckled. “Tell me more.”

“My name is Xiao Jun.” Xiao Bing decisively changed his name. His surname was a homonym, and his personal name was synonymous with his original one. Xiao Bing was mainly worried that when Feng XIII heard his name, he would know his identity. There was a traitor in Buddhism. Maybe Buddhism knew more about him. Now, he did not know whether his name was a secret or not.

“Xiao Jun? Wow, that sounds good.” Red Rose looked at Xiao Bing and asked, “Xiao Jun, do your fellow countrymen hate the people from Country R all the time? Because we invaded you in history.”

Xiao Bing sighed and said, “The past is the past, but people in your country still owe us a sincere apology. Rose, can I call you that?”

Red Rose smiled shyly and said, “Of course.”

Xiao Bing took up the glass and said, “A toast to you.”

“OK!”

Two people drank a toast.

After taking a sip, Xiao Bing put down his glass and exclaimed. “This is the best red wine. Even in the outside world of humans, it’s a well-known wine.”

Red Rose said with a smile, “It seems that King Mamba really did not deceive me. As expected, he brought back good stuff for me.”

Xiao Bing said with a smile, “Can King Mamba leave this island at will?”

“Yes.” Red Rose no longer treated Xiao Bing as an outsider at this time. Although some core secrets still needed to be kept, there were some things that could be told to him. There was no need to hide these things. Seeing that Xiao Bing was genuinely curious, she explained to him. “There are 480 people in our homeland. The leader is the strongest one in the home, and there are five Patriarchs, who are ranked according to their abilities.”

Xiao Bing asked, “What’s your rank?”
