Chapter 243 The Arrogant Dragon Prince

[Okay, host, Little White will be leaving now!]

After Xiaobai finished speaking, he disappeared into Gu Xinyan's arms. Seeing that Xiaobai was gone, Gu Xinyan prepared to call everyone to continue their journey to the palace.

When she turned her head, she met Ellie's bright and curious gaze.

"That's Xiaobai, our companion. But it has some things to do and will be back in a few days. I'll introduce it to you then," Gu Xinyan said with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Ellie nodded in agreement, clearly quite interested in the one named Xiaobai.

They were fluffy and incredibly cute; none of their sea creatures looked like that, and she loved them dearly.

Seeing her like this, everyone couldn't help but chuckle. But to be fair, Xiaobai is quite pretty, definitely attractive to little girls.

The group chatted and laughed as they walked toward the palace, which was also bustling with activity.

Their arrival attracted everyone's attention, but they did not linger and headed straight for the palace kitchen.

"Where are they going?" Ao Yu asked curiously, looking in the direction the group had gone.

Hearing his younger brother's words, Ao Yuan was also full of questions. Ask him? How did he know? Didn't they come together?

Unaware of what was going on, Ao Yuan decided to ignore his younger brother's questioning gaze and instead started talking to Uncle Yuan beside him.

Ao Yu: ""

Hmph! That brat of a brother, ignoring him again! He'll go complain to Father soon! Since no one will answer his question, he'll just have to go and see for himself!

Anyway, these old fogies were all talking, and no one was playing with him. Rather than wasting his time here, he might as well follow them and see what was going on. He had a feeling that those humans were here to do something important.

It's great to do big things; he loves doing big things, so how could we do without him?

So, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, he sneaked off and followed in the direction that Gu Xinyan and the others had just left.

However, because the palace was quite large and winding, Ao Yu lost his way for a moment without paying attention.

After wandering around for a long time, I felt that all the palaces here looked very similar. I don't know why the Mermaid King built so many identical palaces, which made him lose his way.

Unlike the dragons, who just need to dig a few holes and make sure the inside looks nice, Ao Yu thought to himself.

He was getting a little annoyed from being lost, and just when he was feeling frustrated, he suddenly smelled a particularly tempting aroma that made his mouth water.

"It smells so good! What is this smell? I'm actually starting to feel a little hungry."

Ao Yu murmured to himself, his legs unconsciously moving towards the direction from which the fragrance was coming. Guided by the scent, he was no longer circling around.

Following the increasingly rich fragrance, Ao Yu made several turns and finally arrived at a palace that looked quite special.

Through the open door, he saw the same humans who had been there earlier, now busily preparing various ingredients. Some of these ingredients were familiar to him, while others he had never seen before.

And the aroma he had just smelled was coming from a large pot.

At that moment, something that made his mouth water was being constantly stirred in the large pot. It looked somewhat familiar, but he didn't know what it was.

Meanwhile, a few people nearby were processing a huge sea fish. The scales on the fish's body shimmered with blue light. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be a blue fish beast.

Unexpectedly, the Mermaid King even captured a Blue Fish Beast. This creature only lives in the deep sea and cannot be found in other sea areas, which are extremely dangerous.

Although the area is rich in resources, it is also very dangerous. His father doesn't even allow him to go to the deep sea. He never expected to be able to eat the Blue Fish Beast here today.

His dazed look caught the attention of the people in the kitchen.

The group of people who were busy preparing ingredients, except for Gu Xinyan and the other two who were cooking, looked up and saw the little prince of the dragon clan standing at the kitchen door.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Gu Xinyan paused in her actions, exchanged glances with her teammates, all wondering what this young prince of the dragon clan had come for.

But since they were already here, and looking so eager, they must have been attracted by the crowd, so I greeted them with a smile:

"Your Highness, since you're here, why don't you come in and try the delicious food we've prepared?"

Ao Yu, who was initially a little embarrassed, couldn't help but brighten up when he heard these words.

Ignoring the embarrassment of being discovered, he rushed into the kitchen. After his gaze lingered on the blue fish beast for a moment, it finally settled on the large pot.

Smelling the delicious aroma, I couldn't help but swallow and ask:

What are you doing?

"This is our specially made seafood fried rice. All the fresh seafood in it was provided by the Mermaid King, killed and cooked to order."

And our special sauce is so delicious, you'll want more after just one bite, and you'll never forget it!

Upon hearing Ao Yu's words, Li Chendong smiled smugly and offered an explanation.

“That’s right, we not only made seafood fried rice, but also rice porridge, and all kinds of stir-fries. You’ll absolutely love how delicious it is,” Zhang Junyang chimed in.

The two of them were like a comedian, singing and responding in unison. Not only did Ao Yu's eyes widen in amazement, but even Gu Xinyan and the others listened as if this were some kind of unparalleled delicacy.

"Your Highness, would you like to try some? We make generous portions, so we can serve you one to try first!" Gu Xinyan asked with a smile, looking at Ao Yu who was staring blankly.

"Yes, yes, yes! I want to eat! I want to eat!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Yu nodded vigorously, as if afraid that if he was a step too late, the seafood fried rice and various stir-fries would be gone from his life.

Perhaps realizing that he was being too hasty and somewhat unbecoming of his status, the usually arrogant young prince instantly adopted a haughty demeanor, cleared his throat, and tried to smooth things over:

"Ahem! Since you have invited me in this way, then I will reluctantly accept."

The group in the kitchen: "........."

"Tch! Being too proud to admit defeat is what Sister Gu is all about, isn't it?"

"Hmph! Sister Gu and the others are excellent cooks, so if you want to eat, you can eat! I don't even have enough for myself, Sister Gu, let's not give him any! Let him look at it!"

A voice suddenly rang out in the quiet kitchen, and everyone turned to look.

Just then, Ellie was seen eating her rice while muttering something disdainfully.

Then everyone looked at the dragon prince with a livid face at the door, and instantly felt that there was a bit of tension in the scene!
