Kallen quickly noticed Fang Ping, who was working, and was very surprised.
"Hey, why are you here too? Moreover, you're wearing the staff's clothes?"
Fang Ping smiled and said.
"Because I'm the bartender here? Beautiful Miss Kallen, do you want to try out my wine?"
Of course, Kallen would not reject Fang Ping's suggestion. She immediately sat down at the bar.
Fang Ping immediately began mixing drinks, displaying all his best skills.
At this moment, Fang Ping suddenly noticed that Kallen seemed to be wearing a pendant around her neck.
Moreover, this pendant seemed to be extremely similar to the pendant Manstein had drawn in the letter previously.
It was very likely the key that could open the ancient ruins that Manstein had mentioned!
He did not expect that the key was actually a pendant. Moreover, Kallen had it with her at all times!
As Fang Ping mixed the wine, he thought about how to make Kallen hand the key to him willingly.
He kept optimizing his mixing formula and made better wine to Kallen's satisfaction.
"Oh, your culinary skills are much better than most bartenders. My previous private bartender is simply incomparable to you!"
Kallen drank a few glasses of wine in a row and praised sincerely.
Fang Ping smiled and said, "You flatter me. Actually, I don't know much."
Fang Ping's exquisite skills naturally obtained Kallen's recognition.
Coupled with the fact that the two of them were friends, Kallen suddenly made an unexpected suggestion.
"Fang Ping, there's actually a reason why I came here to drink this time. I had a bartender previously, but I'm already tired of the wine he makes.
"That's why you came here to find a new bartender. I see that you're also doing this job. Why don't you consider becoming my private bartender?"
It was unknown if it was because of the alcohol or something else, but at this moment, Kallen's face was red and she smelled of alcohol when she spoke.
In fact, the girl's thoughts were very complicated.
In order to obtain the key, Fang Ping wanted to be closer to Kallen. On the other hand, Kallen had also been missing Fang Ping.
Ever since she danced at the ball that time, Kallen had often thought of the dance that day after returning.
There was also the talent Fang Ping had displayed.
She believed that Fang Ping was different from the other guys. He was special.
Sometimes, when she slept, Kallen would even dream of the scene of the dance floor that day and dance with Fang Ping again.
This time, Kallen had also made this suggestion on a whim, wanting to take this opportunity to let Fang Ping spend more time with her.
Although Fang Ping did not sense Kallen's intentions, he still agreed immediately.
This was simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This way, he would have more time to communicate with Kallen in the future.
He would also have more chances to obtain the ancient ruin key on Kallen.
With Kallen's help, Fang Ping successfully changed his position.
Although the private bartender from before was very unwilling, he could only become an ordinary royal bartender and take over Fang Ping's previous position.
Life became calm again.
Moreover, after Fang Ping became a private bartender, he had more freedom.
Kallen would not force Fang Ping to do anything. Fang Ping did not even need to inform her. He could come to work whenever he wanted.
On this day, when Kallen came to drink with Fang Ping, she suddenly saw the latter busying himself at the table with a mysterious expression.
She immediately leaned over and asked curiously.
"What are you doing?"
Fang Ping said mysteriously, "I suddenly thought of a new formula yesterday that can produce better wine!"
"Really?"
Kallen was extremely surprised.
"Of course. If my prediction is not wrong, the wine made with this new formula will be at least ten times better than before! Moreover, it will be harder for you to get drunk!"
Hearing this, Kallen was immediately excited.
Like most vampires, she liked to drink.
Moreover, because of the special physique of the vampires, it was already very difficult for them to get drunk.
Many vampires would drink a lot at the gathering and would even drink until dawn before becoming drunk.
"Then quickly get this wine out. I want to be the first to taste it!"
Kallen was already somewhat impatient. Little did she know that her anticipation was exactly what Fang Ping wanted.
Fang Ping shook his head, appearing somewhat unwilling.
"That won't do. I've thought about the formula for this wine for a long time. This formula is very precious and can't be drunk casually."
"Unless you exchange something equally precious with me… If you do that, I'll make it for you!"
Hearing this, Kallen immediately fell into deep thought.
"Then how about I give you some treasures? The kind that's helpful for cultivation. Or you can directly follow me to the warehouse to choose!
"You can have anything you want!"
Fang Ping still shook his head.
"No, I have to choose for myself. Moreover, the things I want can't be found in the warehouse."
"Then what do you want? Just say it. I'll give it to you, alright?"
Fang Ping could not help but want to laugh.
The young lady was easily hooked!
Fang Ping suddenly put down the tool in his hand, his gaze landing on the pendant around Kallen's neck.
"I want this!"
At the same time, Fang Ping pointed. Kallen was stunned at first, then she immediately understood what Fang Ping wanted.
Initially, Fang Ping thought that this was just a necklace and that Kallen would not be too conflicted.
Unexpectedly, Kallen actually shook her head hard and said with incomparable determination.
"No, this definitely won't do. You can have anything else you want, but not this!"
Fang Ping was puzzled.
"Why? This looks like an ordinary necklace."
Kallen's voice suddenly became somewhat sad.
"This necklace is different. This is the only thing my father left for me."
"Because I was too young at that time, my impression of my father has already become very blurry.
"However, the only thing I'm absolutely sure of is that this necklace is the token my father left for me!
"So change it to something else. This definitely won't do!"
Fang Ping was instantly shocked when he heard this.
Kallen actually still remembered the origin of this necklace?
However, this also explained why she kept this necklace close to her.
With this reason, Fang Ping naturally would not force Kallen to give him the necklace.
Moreover, he had even taken the initiative to express his willingness to treat Kallen to a drink with his new formula.
After suddenly obtaining the wine, Kallen finally recovered from the sadness of mentioning her father.
Fang Ping pretended that nothing had happened and continued to fulfill his duty.
