Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Grand Banquet

With the recovery of the little mermaid, the relationship between the mermaids and Canaan, which had reached freezing point, warmed up a little.

The route to the Mermaid Sea has been saved, but it would be difficult to reconcile in the short term.

The most favored youngest son suffered inhuman treatment on Canaan Prime. If you put yourself in his shoes, no one would have a good face.

Ganan now treats the mermaids with respect and is always willing to help them.

Fortunately, this big Buddha statue is finally about to be gone.

Three days later, Lian Che will bring Lian Xi back to Luoshui Star.

Lu Zhiluan, who heard the news, was sitting on the sofa at this moment. In front of him was a large open-air swimming pool. A blue-haired little mermaid was swimming freely in it. The newly born blue scales on the fish's tail were still very light in color, and they sparkled in the sunlight like fine gemstones.

The delicate and beautiful little mermaid swam to the edge of the swimming pool, and her flexible tail fin rolled up some pool water, then playfully splashed it onto the people on the shore.

Lian Che came over with two glasses of juice and placed them on the tea table. Seeing this, he whispered, "Lian Xi, I told you not to mess with Dr. Lu."

The brother on the bank of Lianxi stuck out his tongue and made a face, his eyes rolled around, and he put his hands on the edge of the pool, ready to climb up to reach for the juice on the tea table.

Lian Che frowned slightly and warned, "Lian Xi!"

Lian Xi pursed his lips and retreated back into the water sullenly. Like a salted fish that had lost its dream, he sank silently to the bottom of the water, leaving only a string of small bubbles on the surface of the water.

Lian Che looked at Lu Zhiluan and said, "I'm sorry, my family has been too pampering to him, which has caused him to be disrespectful. Did it not get you wet?"

Lu Zhiluan shook his head: "It's okay. I feel relieved to see Lian Xi so lively. I was worried that he would have psychological trauma."

It takes a lot of courage to come out of such a painful experience.

Lian Che's eyes fell on the string of bubbles, and he said helplessly, "What a fool who only remembers to eat and not to be beaten. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so stupid as to follow others just because they coaxed him. He almost lost his life."

"Fool" seemed to be a trigger word. Lian Xi popped his head out of the water and angrily splashed water all over Lian Che.

"I'm not happy to call you a fool."

Lianxi River is growing again.

Lian Che wiped the water off his face and gritted his teeth: "Don't think you can get ahead of yourself if I don't beat you up now. You'll be in trouble when I'm fully recovered."

Lu Zhiluan, who was standing by, laughed secretly and gained a new understanding of the way the two brothers got along with each other.

After completing the routine checkup on Lian Xi, Lu Zhiluan prepared to leave, thinking about Meiqiu who had gone out to play with the commander in the morning. He didn't expect that the kitten would actually follow him.

There is a slight sense of melancholy in my heart as my child grows up and makes new friends.

He is obviously the best friend in the world.

Seeing that Dr. Lu was about to leave, Lian Xi looked at him eagerly, gestured rapidly with his hands, and opened his mouth to only make “ahhh” sounds.

Lu Zhiluan didn't quite understand and looked at Lian Che hesitantly.

Lian Che felt something: "He asked if you could go back to Luoshui Star with us to play for a few days."

"He has a gift for you."

Lu Zhiluan's eyes were filled with apology. Lian Xi saw his refusal and gestured again.

Lian Che followed behind and translated: "It doesn't matter if you can't go now. When he grows his legs and can go ashore, he will go to Planet 07 to find you."

Lu Zhiluan nodded and agreed, "Then come and play with me when you are an adult."

With the answer, Lian Xi's eyes lit up and he shook his fish tail, creating circles of waves.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Lu Zhiluan met Zhuo Lan who came to return the cat at the door.

The young commander held the kitten in one hand, with his head down, and said something to it, but the kitten remained unmoved.

After seeing Lu Zhiluan, the little black cat clapped its paws and signaled to Zhuo Lan with its eyes that he could leave.

Zhuo Lan rolled his eyes, thinking that even if he were a cat, he wouldn't be lovable.

Despite this, he still resigned himself to handing Mr. Cat over to Lu Zhiluan.

Zhuo Lan looked at the cat that had become obedient in Lu Zhiluan's hands and thought, "You've got to choose it. This little thing has two faces."

Lu Zhiluan held the cat in his arms, his eyes falling on the new scratches and teeth marks on Zhuo Lan's hands. He asked nervously, "Can you relax your hands?"

Zhuo Lan still said the same thing, "It's okay, I was just joking with him."

Lu Zhiluan lowered his head and scolded the kitten, "Why are you biting me again?"

He just targeted one person and bit him. Is this commander a person who hates both cats and dogs?

Lu Zhiluan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. After all, Meiqiu didn't really dislike him.

I'm really annoying, I won't let you hug me.

Although the little cat cannot speak, Lu Zhiluan feels that Coal Ball is very human and thinks differently from small animals like Big Orange.

Sometimes the coal briquette was so calm that he thought it wouldn't be strange if it turned into a human one day.

The little cat with lazy and unfocused eyes narrowed its eyes and buried its head in Lu Zhiluan's arms, looking aggrieved and pitiful.

Lu Zhiluan couldn't stand this the most. He originally wanted to say a few more harsh words, but now he couldn't say anything.

It's just a little cat, what could be wrong with it?

Zhuo Lan's cheeks ached as he watched from the side. He had really changed his character and was now full of green tea.

The message reminders on the computer never stopped, and there were a lot of things waiting to be dealt with. Looking at the leisurely cat who didn't have to go to work, the commander suddenly felt unbalanced. He immediately made up his mind to get this person back as soon as possible. He couldn't stand the hardship of working. It was not his job in the first place.

After leaving the hotel, Zhuo Lan drove the Star Shuttle back to the Alliance without stopping. After finishing some of the more urgent tasks at hand, he drove the Star Shuttle away in a hurry again.

Take a trip to the scene of the starship accident. It is very likely that some details have been overlooked by him.

There is a party tomorrow night.

The banquet will be held in the Star Lord's private manor. It is said that the Star Lord and people from various large families will also attend.

This was specially held by Ganan for the mermaids, both as a welcome and a farewell.

The mermen had come to visit in order to bring an end to their crimes, and the relationship between the two sides was tense at the time. Naturally, Canaan would not hold any welcoming ceremony when the little prince was in imminent danger.

After the storm, proper hospitality is of course necessary and should be unprecedentedly grand; this is the first step to ease relations.

Lu Zhiluan received the invitation letter from Lian Che a long time ago. He missed the last banquet, so this time he must go and see the world.

The next afternoon, Lu Zhiluan changed into the suit that Lian Che had sent over to him at the hotel.

The color is a low-key black that can't go wrong, and the highlight is the delicate and intricate embroidery on the cuffs. The black and red are intertwined, like a thorny rose blooming in the dark night, appearing and disappearing with every move, making people unable to help but follow it.

The waist is well cut, showing off the young man's tall and slender figure very well. Coupled with his cold and ruthless face, the whole person looks even more handsome and unapproachable.

Jing Miao looked at the person in the mirror who was adjusting his collar, his eyes dark.

The next second, the person in the mirror suddenly turned around and walked towards him.

Lu Zhiluan muttered to himself, "I almost forgot to change Little Coal Ball's clothes."

A small red bow tie was fastened around his neck. Jing Miao tried to resist but to no avail.

Lu Zhiluan came to the mirror holding the kitten and said with satisfaction, "Father and son outfits."

"Let's go to the banquet."

Jing Miao: “…”

Too lazy to spray.

At 7:30 in the evening, a soft red carpet was laid outside the private manor, extending all the way to the spacious courtyard inside which was brightly lit.

Star shuttles come and go in the sky, landing and taking off.

Men in suits and ladies in evening gowns were led by their attendants, chatting and laughing as they walked towards the open-air venue. When they met acquaintances on the way, they stopped to exchange a few words and talk about their recent situation.

Lu Zhiluan got off the Star Shuttle holding the kitten and met Fu Yao who was waiting at the door.

The handsome young man brought a chubby little cat and attracted a lot of attention along the way.

Fu Yao's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Zhiluan. Doctor Lu was already very handsome at ordinary times, and he looked even better in formal attire, not inferior to those celebrities at all.

Miss Fu herself was wearing a black tight long skirt with a small shawl. The long tassel earrings on her ears swayed slightly, and her big red waves made her look even more beautiful and bold.

Lu Zhiluan approached, and Fu Yao turned around a little and asked with great interest: "How about it, Doctor Lu, this outfit of mine won't embarrass our 07 star, right?"

She had spent a huge amount of money to prepare for it, and whenever she went out, she had to provide her own identity.

Lu Zhiluan: “It looks very nice.”

Fu Yao smiled and said, "Then I feel relieved."

The open-air courtyard was beautifully decorated, with round tables filled with delicious delicacies. Waiters in vests carried trays and moved freely among the chatty guests, paying attentively attention to the needs of each guest.

After handing over the invitation letter, Lu Zhiluan and Fu Yao followed the attendants to sit at the middle table.

As soon as I sat down, people around me started whispering.

"Who are those two people? I don't think I've seen them before."

"They are sitting at the main table. They are from Luo Shuixing, right? With their striking looks, who else but the mermaids would look like them?"

"But isn't the Seventh Prince talking to the bosses over there? I remember that only the Seventh Prince came from the mermaid tribe this time."

"I remember now. He seems to be the doctor who saved the little mermaid prince."

"That should be it. It is said that he is a young veterinarian from Planet 07. I never thought that such a backward place would have such a person, and he is a supernatural being."

After hearing that Lu Zhilunwei came from Planet 07, many people stopped in their tracks.

People who came from small places were lucky enough to be favored by the mermaids, but after the Seventh Prince left, they were still reduced to their original form.

What's more, he is just an ordinary veterinarian and there is really no need to get to know him.

Thinking of this, those who were somewhat curious about Lu Zhiluan suddenly lost interest, their eyes turned contemptuous, and they turned their gazes around, looking for new targets.

There were also many people who, after learning that he had no background, were slightly distracted by his face, and those shameful little thoughts emerged again.

On the left, several men gathered together, holding red wine glasses.

The companion smiled maliciously and waved his hand in front of one of the men, "Young Master Yang, your eyes are wide open."

Young Master Yang came to his senses, slapped his hand away, and said unhappily, "Don't block me." As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously fell on that haunting profile again, thinking about how to get the person.

Others saw this and started to make a noise, "It's over, this is true love, cold and beautiful lady, it would be really cool if she cried with red eyes on the bed."

"Who says it's not? It makes people feel uneasy."

"The girl next to him is pretty good too, are they a couple?"

"Why do you care how right he is? The money has been paid, and it's not like they can't be demolished. People from remote areas are easy to deal with."

"Oh, Master Wang has changed his taste. Don't like little white flowers anymore?"

"Yeah, I like the more explosive ones."

The noises of their teasing grew louder and louder.

Lu Zhiluan could hear some of what was said, but he couldn't quite make out the specifics. Based on the sticky looks he got from them, he could guess that those people didn't have good words to say.

Noticing that Lu Zhiluan looked very cold, Fu Yao, who didn't know what was going on, asked, "Doctor Lu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Zhiluan didn't want her to know, so he shook his head and said, "It's okay."

While the men were still talking nonsense, a figure slowly approached them.

"Who are you?"

Several of them drank a lot and reeked of alcohol, and they seemed a little dissatisfied that their vision was blocked.

He found that the person blocking his way was a beautiful young man, so he boldly reached out his hand to touch him, "Where did you come from, beautiful lady? Come and play with us brothers."

Before they could touch their sleeves, several men were held down and couldn't make a sound.

The drunkenness was dispelled by the fear in their hearts, and they soon realized that something was wrong.

"If you can't speak, don't speak again." The young man said lightly, waved his hand, and several people were taken away without alarming anyone.

The uncomfortable sight disappeared, and Lu Zhiluan seemed to realize something and turned around. The young man was holding a glass of juice in his hand. He raised it towards him, drank it all, and then turned and left.
