Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Pretending to be a Noble in Front of Me? (First Update)
When Xue An led his family out of a tourist spot, the streets of London were already lit with early evening lights.
Xue An let out a slight sigh, “Another day has passed like this, Quintina. It’s been three days since Alldington’s death, and we still haven’t seen any sign of the Blood Clan seeking revenge that you mentioned.”
“Master, Alldington was a Grand Duke within the Vampire Council and he was regarded as a prince among his peers. His death is certain to shake the council, but as to why no one has come yet, I’m not too sure,” Quintina said respectfully.
Now she regarded Xue An as a godlike figure, and she even casually spoke of the Vampire Council, which she had never dared to mention before.
“What is this Vampire Council? Is it very powerful?” Xue An asked indifferently.
“The Vampire Council is where all the powerful Blood Clan members discuss matters. Several of the chairpersons are princes, and it’s even said that there are second-generation Blood Clan members among them.”
Upon hearing this, Xue An’s interest was piqued, “Blood Clan princes… second-generation! Hehe, if I can condense a Blood Pearl from them, it’s sure to be more formidable than a Duke! Do you know where the Vampire Council is located?”
Quintina shook her head with a wry smile, “With my power and status, how could I possibly know? Even the deceased Marquis Cecil wouldn’t have known! It’s the holy land of the Blood Clan, only those with the strength of a Duke or above are privileged to know!”
Xue An was somewhat disappointed.
An Yan then said with a smile, “Husband, we’re not in a hurry anyway. Let’s just treat this as a sightseeing trip and take our time to find it!”
Xue An smiled, “Alright!”
At this moment, the two little girls chimed in simultaneously, “Daddy, we’re hungry!”
“Then let’s go have dinner now!” Xue An said with a beaming smile.
The mention of dinner brightened the little girls’ eyes, but their enthusiasm quickly faded.
“I don’t want to eat hamburgers or fried potatoes anymore!” Xue Nian pouted.
“I don’t want to eat fried fish anymore either; it’s too disgusting!” Xue Xiang also expressed her dissatisfaction.
Quintina’s face turned a bit awkward upon hearing these words.
In the past days, under Quintina’s guidance, the Xue family had already visited all the well-known spots in London.
Everything else was fine, except that dining had become a problem.
At first, when Quintina had enthusiastically led the family into a restaurant, promising that the meals there were absolutely delicious,
An Yan and the two girls were somewhat expectant, but once they tasted the food, they were all shocked.
Not because it was tasty.
But rather because it was too horrible.
The lack of variety and blandness of the food was simply maddening.
There were always only two dishes on the table, one fried everything, one mashed potatoes.
Such dreadful cooking naturally could not win the favor of An Yan and the girls, whose tastes had been spoiled by Xue An’s cooking skills.
“Master, the restaurants I recommended before were all very common eateries. Their flavors and textures are very ordinary, but the restaurant I’m recommending this time will definitely satisfy the young mistresses!” Quintina promised once again.
The two girls were somewhat skeptical.
“We don’t believe it, Quintina is just a big liar!”
Quintina swore an oath, guaranteeing that the taste this time would definitely be up to par.
Finally, the two girls reluctantly nodded.
“Alright, then let’s give it another try!” An Yan also nodded in agreement.
The restaurant Quintina mentioned was located in London’s most bustling district, with decent looking exteriors that made it appear high-end.
Once inside, the carefully arranged lighting made the environment seem very comfortable and relaxing, and the suited and booted waiters guided them with a thick British accent.
At least in terms of atmosphere, the dining environment scored full marks.
Many of the diners also gave curious looks to Xue An and his entourage.
The majority here were Caucasian, so Xue An and his family, with their black hair and eyes, stood out.
But more than that, they were struck by the high attractiveness of Xue An and his family.
Especially, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, these two exquisitely cute little girls, garnered many affectionate glances from the crowd.
The food was served quickly.
Finally, it was no longer all deep-fried, but instead switched to meticulously cooked steaks.
The two little ones were already ravenous, so as soon as the food arrived, they impatiently grabbed the steak with their hands and ate.
This scene also drew light laughter from many people.
However, amongst these friendly laughs, there were always some that were discordant.
A Chinese woman with a contrived expression sneered, “Eating with their hands? How crude and ill-mannered!”
The man sitting with her also scoffed with disdain, “Probably they’ve never been to such a high-class restaurant before, do they even know how to eat Western food?”
Saying this, he deliberately showed off by picking up the knife and fork and began cutting the steak with meticulous attention to etiquette.
Every movement was perfectly standard—to the point that not even the most fastidious London gentleman could find fault.
After cutting a piece, the man took a bite and a look of rapture appeared on his face.
“What an unrivaled delicacy! And this elegant dining etiquette, only true nobility could master it!”
The performance of the two attracted the attention of many in the restaurant.
The genuine London gentlemen, on the other hand, looked completely baffled.
After all, even the most traditionalist moral guardian wouldn’t dine like those two anymore, as it would be simply asking for punishment.
But this in no way hindered the couple’s burgeoning sense of superiority.
They even purposefully cast a provocative glance toward An Yan’s direction.
The two little girls naturally didn’t care about that, still holding their steaks in their hands and eating.
An Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Putting on airs of nobility in front of me?
Then he gestured with his hand.
The waiter immediately hurried over.
“Sir, may I assist you with anything?”
“Bring us five pairs of chopsticks. We Chinese aren’t used to these utensils,” An Yan said indifferently.
At these words, the couple looked at each other and couldn’t help but burst into snickers.
“Asking for chopsticks in a Western restaurant of this caliber?”
“Yeah, hilarious indeed!”
The waiter also looked troubled, “I’m sorry, sir, we don’t have chopsticks prepared here….”
Quintina said coldly from the side, “If you haven’t prepared them, then go and buy them now. Don’t delay my master’s meal, understand?”
The waiter was taken aback, “Miss, I….”
Quintina shook her head, took out an exquisite brooch, and pinned it to her chest.
Upon seeing the brooch, the waiter shuddered, then immediately said with respect, “It turns out to be the esteemed Earl, I’ll prepare it right away!”
With that, he turned and hurried off.
This scene left many people astonished, and several elderly London gentlemen, upon seeing the brooch Quintina revealed, couldn’t help but rise from their seats and bow slightly.
“Earl!”
Their expressions were filled with respect.
Quintina nodded slightly, then turned to the dumbfounded couple, “Is it any of your concern what my master wishes to eat with?”
As she spoke, a hint of blood gleamed in Quintina’s eyes.
