Chapter 160 Lily's Thoughts

Lily had been focused on Sean for the first half, but it wasn't until Sean finally walked out of the bar with trembling legs that she suddenly realized.

This was not the man she wanted.

Such a cowardly and irresponsible boy was simply unworthy of being her boyfriend.

Mainly because compared to Locke's tall and calm image, Sean was completely worlds apart.

Of course, more importantly, Lily noticed that when Sean left, he didn't even glance at her, didn't even offer a greeting, and just turned and left without looking back.

This truly disappointed her to the extreme.

"Ah—— I—— I didn't pay attention to him just now." Maria looked at Lily, her eyes flickering slightly.

"Oh, you, you've learned to show off your affection to me in this way, haven't you."

Lily shook her finger, and at the same time, her gaze towards Locke became somewhat ambiguous: "I'm so envious of you, I never expected you to quietly find such an excellent boyfriend."

Maria appeared humble on the surface, but in reality, she was overjoyed inside.

She had never felt so triumphant in front of her best friend, who was a popular girl at school. Although they were like sisters, at this moment, she couldn't help but feel joyful.

The two of them put their heads together, chatting quietly, one word after another.

Locke leaned against the bar counter, lit a cigar, and listened to the two girls chatting nearby with an expressionless face.

Behind him, Feynman, as a Transcendent, naturally heard their conversation clearly. He silently reached out and poked Locke. Locke turned his head to look at him, brows slightly furrowed, not understanding what he meant.

Feynman glanced at the two best friends, then winked at him, and whispered very quietly: "Not bad, you. In such a short time, you've made these two distinct hot girls fall for you. You're in for a treat."

"Ahem, I don't have that intention at all. Don't think you can talk nonsense just because you're wearing an Owl mask."

"Hmph, buddy, stop pretending with me. I'm an experienced person."

Feynman had a faint smile on his lips, "If you didn't have any ideas about them, why did you help just now? Wouldn't it have been better to stand by and watch?"

"Didn't you see that all the guests in the bar hall were unfazed by such things?"

"Ahem, others are others, I am me, we cannot be lumped together."

"You——"

Seeing that he wanted to continue, Locke was afraid he would spout more inappropriate words and disrupt his plan, so he immediately turned around and lightly tapped the table. The crisp "dong dong dong" sound immediately interrupted Feynman.

"As a bartender, just focus on mixing your drinks. I ordered a cocktail earlier, why isn't it ready yet? Be careful, or I'll report you to your boss."

"Uh——"

The Owl mask on Feynman's face clearly froze for a moment, then he turned around and began to prepare Locke's order with resentment.

"This kid really doesn't play by the rules."

Although he was secretly a Transcendent of the Church of the Night Goddess, he still had to follow the rules of his public identity as a bartender.

Mainly because if he didn't follow them, his contribution points for guarding the bar would be reduced accordingly based on complaints.

Watching his clearly resentful shaking of the cocktail shaker, Locke smiled and placed another order, "Besides the one just now, please give me another one, the same cocktail."

"You!" Feynman could only glare at Locke, but now he had no way to deal with him.

The reason Locke did this was to make this guy quiet down and stop bothering him.

After dealing with Feynman, he turned his head to look at Lily and Maria, who were huddled together, and silently compared them in his heart.

The primary focus was naturally Maria.

When he received the mission, he had the idea of turning her, along with the soul named Alan inside her, into his own 【 Star Slave 】.

After all, this was a wild female Transcendent he had finally encountered; he couldn't let her go easily.

Locke thought very clearly; although he had joined the Church of the Night Goddess, he still needed to secretly cultivate some forces of his own.

He naturally couldn't let go of a Supernatural seedling like Maria, who had no status and no one paying attention to her.

And mainly, Maria's appearance fit his aesthetic; if she were too ugly, he wouldn't bother recruiting her.

Compared to Lily, Maria was petite, but those blue eyes and unique lip shape gave her already petite features an extreme sense of charm.

Plus, thinking of her various contrasting behaviors in the original movie 《 The Man in the Mirror 》, he couldn't help but have a strange filter for her in his heart.

In short, Maria was a yandere.

However, the more yandere she was, the more he wanted to make her his own. He couldn't help it; he had a collecting habit. Whenever he saw a woman with a different style, he wanted to bring her under his command.

This was a bad habit he developed from playing a certain game in his early years.

As for Maria's best friend, Lily, she was a woman with blonde hair, a hot body, and a sexy look. If there was a chance, it wouldn't be bad to interact with her.

"Your drink is ready."

While he was deep in thought, Feynman's voice, full of resentment, appeared in his ear, followed by him pushing over two cocktails with straws.

Locke reached out to take them, but Feynman didn't let go.

"Pay first, 200 us dollars."

Locke knew the other party was taking revenge for just now, so he didn't say anything, just smiled and took out two 100 us dollar bills from his pocket and slapped them on the table.

At the same time, he took out an extra one us dollar coin and pushed it over along with the two bills.

"This is 200 us dollars for the drinks, and this extra 1 us dollar is your tip, don't mention it."

After paying, he smiled and took the two cocktails from Feynman's hand, then pushed them in front of Maria and Lily.

Feynman looked at the small one-dollar coin in front of him, his face under the Owl mask turned black. The look in his eyes as he watched Locke's back became somewhat resentful, feeling a bit like he was gnashing his teeth in hatred. There was no way around it; Locke's way of dealing with it made Feynman feel like his previous punch had landed on cotton. However, when he saw Locke pushing the two drinks towards the two girls, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile.

Mainly, seeing Locke act like this, he was truly very gratified.

Locke was naturally doing it on purpose. Of course, he didn't want to humiliate him, but was joking with him. Joking is only interesting if it goes both ways.

Naturally, he wasn't intentionally retaliating because the other party had teased him just now.

"Hey, two ladies, sorry to interrupt you."

After pushing the two drinks in front of them, Locke smiled very gentlemanly, then half-leaned against the bar counter and gestured.

"This is——" Maria's eyes lit up, and she turned back to look at him.

"Maria, you and your good friend have been chatting for so long, you must be thirsty. It's a rare opportunity, let me buy you a drink."

Lily was not polite at all, she directly moved the glass to her front, sucked on the straw, and while sucking, she looked at Locke with an extremely provocative gaze.

"Maria, this little boyfriend of yours is quite sensible, knowing to order drinks for both of us. Great, he's qualified."

"You, even a drink can't stop your mouth."

Maria reached out her finger and poked her lightly, then hooked the straw and began to taste it slowly.

She was like a quail, shrinking her head and holding the wine glass, but while drinking, her eyes still glanced at Locke on the side from time to time.

Her best friend, Lily, had a much more cheerful personality than her. In no time, she drank the cocktail, and soon her face showed a slightly tipsy red color. Following that, she walked wobblily to Locke and reached out her hand to him.

"Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Lily, Maria's good best friend."

"Hello, my name is Li Locke. You can call me Locke in the future."

Locke also smiled and shook her hand, giving a fake name. This was a name combined from his surname in his previous life and his first name in this life, but it couldn't be considered entirely fake.

"Li Locke, Locke, good name." I don't know if it was the effect of the alcohol, but Lily grabbed Locke's hand and had no intention of letting go. "I wonder how someone like you met Maria?"

"Just now, we met right here." Locke had no intention of hiding it.

"Did you really just meet?"

Lily was full of shock, then licked her lips, while a feeling of secret joy couldn't help but arise in her heart.

"Really, do I have any reason to lie to you?"

"So you just met, and in such a short time you became boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Lily swallowed, quietly digging for information. She was like an experienced huntress, wanting to take advantage of the moment when Locke and Maria had just met to see if there was a chance to wedge herself in.

After all, they were best friends; she believed Maria would understand her.

Maria, hearing her straightforward words, pushed her lightly, "Lily, I've already told you, Locke and I really just met."

"Hehe, so that means you two haven't become boyfriend and girlfriend yet."

Lily's eyes darted between the two, then with a smile on her face, she asked tentatively in a joking tone.

When facing this question, Locke and Maria surprisingly remained consistent, both staying silent without giving a negative or affirmative answer.

Maria actually wanted to deny it at first, mainly because she was afraid of awkwardness.

But when she wanted to speak, she noticed Locke didn't say anything and was just smiling, so she swallowed her words back.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Lily couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Then, seeing the bird on Locke's shoulder, she hatched another plan.

She smoothed her hair, put her hands behind her back, leaned slightly towards Locke, and stared at the raven on his shoulder, curiously saying: "Locke, is this pet on your shoulder yours? It's so cute. It's a pity my family only lets me keep dogs, otherwise I would also want to keep a bird like this."

Her chest was quite large.

Therefore, when she bent over, Locke could clearly see the slightly heaving hills below along the light from her neckline.

These hills were rising and falling with Lily's breathing.

Sometimes snow-white and glowing, sometimes crystal clear, even Locke couldn't help but have his gaze attracted to it. This was definitely not his intention, but it stemmed from the human pursuit of breast milk hidden in genes, which was not something he could control.

The faint blush visible through it added a touch of sunshine to this snow mountain.

Fortunately, Locke's will was firm enough and he was not completely swallowed by this abyss. After watching for a few seconds, he calmly shifted his gaze away.

"Uh—— This is the pet raven I keep, its name is Xiao Qi."

Locke said, reaching out to pat Xiao Qi's head, "Come on Xiao Qi, say hello to them."

After speaking, he smiled and looked at Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi, who had been keeping its mouth shut and not making a sound, was glared at by him and immediately nodded at Maria and Lily, imitating ordinary crows to speak.

"Hello, hello."

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

This immediately made both girls crowd around, staring at it with wide eyes.

There was no help for it; if Xiao Qi kept its mouth shut, it was definitely the brightest among crows. Long eyelashes, big eyes, shiny feathers, it really stood out from the crowd.

Such a cute little animal naturally attracted the affection of women.

"Locke, where did you buy this raven? It's so cute, I also really want to keep one."

The slightly introverted Maria was also attracted by Xiao Qi and crowded over, asking Locke with a bright smile.

Mainly because Xiao Qi also had a faint Supernatural aura, which was the reason why Maria, a potential Transcendent, felt comfortable.

Xiao Qi heard this and subconsciously rolled its eyes. After all, an Extraordinary Creature of its noble status couldn't be bought with money. So it prepared to open its mouth to complain, but the next second, after seeing Locke's gaze, it stopped again and could only arrogantly lift its head and stop looking at Maria and the others.

Locke saw it was so sensible, and smiled, replying: "This little guy was given to me by an elder; you probably can't buy one outside."

"Wow, you take such good care of it." Maria's eyes were fixed on it.

While Lily was the one who started the topic, her main attention was still focused on Locke, not the bird on him.

"Did he look at me just now?"

"I did this on purpose, he couldn't possibly not even glance at me, could he?"

"I want to get him, I must take advantage of the time now, while he and Maria haven't fully confirmed their relationship."

The speaker had no intention, but the listener did. Behind him, Feynman, upon hearing Locke say that this raven was a gift from an elder, paused his hand while shaving ice. The look in his eyes towards Locke couldn't help but carry shock and scrutiny. Could this newcomer really be a descendant of that great person?
