Chapter 459 Watch Norton closely, this is how the Dragon King's power is used!
"Old Chu, I want to eat fish."
Xia Mi gently tugged at Chu Zihang's sleeve and looked up at him.
These words startled Chu Zihang slightly. He watched as the thousands of silver fish seemed to be commanded by an invisible hand, sometimes gathering into groups and sometimes scattering with a roar. He wondered what kind of food they resembled that could arouse the most primal desires of the noble and great Queen Xia Mi.
appetite!
Come to think of it, in the days since their reunion, Xia Mi has been following him around, eating and drinking wherever she wants, from luxury restaurants to night market stalls, without being picky at all.
So it's perfectly normal for her to be tempted by these swimming fish.
However, this time he was overthinking it. Xia Mi was just reminded of the past when she was still a small child. She would occasionally wander to the nearby wild river and use the simplest bamboo pole and fishing line to catch a few small river fish to improve her meals.
Sometimes when you can't catch anything, you just fish for it when no one is around.
Anyway, she is the great Dragon King. If she only slightly reveals her domineering aura, all the fish in the river will have to rise to the surface and sacrifice themselves.
Fish: She could have just killed us, but she chose to let us die with our fill. I'm so upset!
After catching the fish, she would light a fire in the yard of that old villa and roast the rare meat until it was charred on the outside and raw on the inside, amidst the smoke and flames.
Although the taste was questionable, it must be said that it possessed a kind of unrestrained wildness that belonged to humankind.
Even when she went to great lengths to bring Chu Zihang, this aloof and handsome young man, home, the old freezer compartment was still filled with many small river fish that she had caught before, frozen as hard as rocks.
Unfortunately, in order to maintain her carefully crafted image as a sweet girl next door, she suppressed the urge to have Chu Zihang help her grill fish.
Looking back now, it was an absolute waste of my grandma's money.
After she said that, Chu Zihang realized that it was already past lunchtime.
To be fair, this aquarium is of decent size, but after witnessing the extreme visual impact of the giant circular aquarium in the humpback whale office of the Takamagahara host club, these small fish and shrimp in front of me don't really offer much of a shock.
There's no way around it; it's like when you're a teenager, you can't be captivated by stunningly beautiful female seniors with bulging breasts and curvy hips, otherwise it's hard to be charmed by plain-looking female juniors.
Of course, Chu Zihang is an exception.
The combination of Xia Mi's sudden appearance and the green plum's attributes is enough to completely outclass everything else.
If charm couldn't win him over, she also knew a little about shear stress.
Since Xia Mi was already hungry, and her extraordinary hearing seemed to detect a clear symphony of rumbling stomachs coming from the group of aunties who had been relentlessly following her for half a day, not far behind her.
He could even hear his mother muttering under her breath, saying that he had been taking the girl out for so long without eating or drinking anything, she must be starving, and he had no idea to take her out to eat...
Well, she and her group of girlfriends probably had a great time gossiping and didn't feel hungry at all.
Thus, Chu Zihang readily agreed and brought this aquarium trip to a close.
However, just before leaving, Xia Mi suddenly stopped, took the small, delicate chain bag that Chu Zihang had bought for her as an apology from her shoulder, stuffed it into his hand, and pointed in the direction of the restroom:
"Please take this for me, I'll be right back."
Chu Zihang watched as she walked briskly toward the restroom with her hands behind her back, his eyes warming slightly.
He knew that Xia Mi's departure was intended to provide his mother and the group of aunts with the best opportunity to question her.
He had even quickly gone through the possible questions in his mind and prepared concise answers that wouldn't reveal too much.
But clearly, he overestimated his priorities.
Su Xiaoyan and her four best friends' eyes lit up when they saw Xia Mi walking towards the restroom alone.
They tacitly ignored Chu Zihang, who was standing alone in place, and transformed into female investigators who had infiltrated... cough cough, into aunties who had forgotten their children, and with clear objectives and swift actions, they stealthily made their way towards the restroom!
Chu Zihang stood there, watching the hurried backs of the five middle-aged women who were too lazy to even hide themselves in order to get close to Xia Mi, and felt speechless.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoyan and the others still retained their last shred of rationality and did not follow the pervert directly into the restroom like a stalker.
They spread out in the area outside the restrooms, setting up a tight observation post.
Or they would pretend to wait for someone on a bench in the nearby rest area, occasionally raising their arm to check their watch, or looking in the direction of the restroom.
Or she'd pretend to be touching up her makeup in front of the sink mirror, her gaze constantly fixed on the toilet exit in the mirror, as if she'd unlocked a lock.
Honestly, with that level of dedication, Hollywood studios could consider casting them as the lead in a spy film.
Marvel: You guys play Black Widow!
Mission: Impossible: Tom Cruise has a successor!
Inside the restroom, Xia Mi simply wanted to give Chu Zihang a chance to explain and see if Su Xiaoyan would take the opportunity to jump out and ask all sorts of questions.
But she never expected that the group of aunties' target wasn't Chu Zihang at all, but her!
So, she simply strolled around the restroom, tidied her already smooth, flowing black hair, adjusted her perfect smile that could melt an iceberg, ensuring that every detail was flawless, and then gracefully walked out.
The moment she stepped out of the restroom, five scorching gazes, almost hot enough to ignite sparks in the air, focused on her face like precisely guided lasers!
If looks could kill, Xia Mi had no doubt that she was now disfigured, pierced by a thousand arrows, and nailed to the Dragon Clan's pillar of shame.
Su Xiaoyan and her group of best friends, who had been lying in ambush nearby, finally got their wish and saw Xia Mi's face.
Time seemed to have been paused at that moment.
What kind of face was that?
Her black hair cascaded down like silk, her skin was as white as snow and crystal clear, her features were so exquisite that there wasn't a single flaw, a divine beauty that was flawless from every angle, especially her eyes, which seemed to hold the rise and fall of stars and the ebb and flow of the vast ocean in their every glance...
Looking at that slightly chubby baby face, the aunties were completely speechless, only able to think how white, soft, cute, and cute they were and how much they wanted to pinch it.
There was no way around it; the girl simply stood there, and she naturally became the focus of attention, with everything around her becoming mere background.
Phrases like "beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, beauty that could make the moon hide and flowers blush" seem pale and powerless in comparison to her.
Su Xiaoyan's inner self had already erupted into a series of extremely high-frequency screams:
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god... Is this really something a human could grow into?!"
"Is this the girlfriend that our Zihang brought back? Is this the future daughter-in-law of the Chu family? Mom, I agree to this marriage! I agree to this marriage with both hands and feet!"
Her group of close friends were equally shocked and briefly speechless, their minds filled with only one thought flashing through their minds:
"Oh no, I've given Xiaoyan some good food!"
"Such an exquisite cabbage, who wouldn't be dazzled by it?!"
Such a beautiful girl, just looking at her every day would make me live longer and feel happy!
Even if she can't carry heavy loads, is lazy, doesn't know anything about farming, and never lifts a finger, what does it matter?
Family conflicts? Mother-in-law/daughter-in-law problems? Not a chance!
Who could possibly get angry at a face like that?
Even when she's throwing a tantrum, it's like she's appreciating a work of art!
The five beautiful aunties, who were themselves quite good-looking and had seen a lot of the world, were so amazed by Xia Mi that they were collectively speechless and forgot to go up and talk to her for a moment.
Xia Mi took in their reactions and felt a little smug.
Sure enough, wherever I go, I am the most dazzling presence in the crowd.
Of course, she would never admit it. Just before leaving the restroom, she had quietly used a bit of the power belonging to the King of Earth and Mountains.
It wasn't about changing her appearance, but rather like shining the most perfect light on a flawless jade, elevating her already near-perfect charm to the level of a goddess descending from heaven.
She had already evolved into her complete form due to the fusion of the two kings, and her body was almost flawless. At this moment, her slight cheating brought a visual impact that was simply nuclear-level.
Su Xiaoyan and the others were immediately struck by her stunning beauty upon meeting her; they would probably never forget the sight of being amazed by the girl.
Watch closely, Norton! This is how he uses the Dragon King's power! (laughs)
The first to recover from her initial amazement was Su Xiaoyan, the most beautiful member of the auntie group.
She noticed that her useless best friends were still in a daze, so she quickly took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, and put on what she thought was the most amiable, friendly, and least like-a-strange-aunt smile before taking the initiative to greet them.
"Oh my, what a pretty little girl!"
Su Xiaoyan walked up to Xia Mi, her tone carrying just the right amount of amazement and admiration, as if she were just a stranger she had met by chance:
"With your looks and charisma, it's such a waste that you're not a star. Are you interested in developing a career in the entertainment industry?"
"My aunt knows some people in the industry and can help you make connections!"
She tried her best to make her voice sound natural, without any hint of probing, like a talent scout simply captivated by the girl's domineering and stunning beauty.
Moreover, she wasn't lying; many leaders at the city's television station were acquaintances of hers, as were many of her old classmates who had gone on to make their way in the entertainment industry.
Yes, many of them were her former suitors.
Xia Mi chuckled inwardly, but on her face she wore a perfect smile that was both slightly shy and flattered, her voice clear and sweet:
"Thank you for the compliment, sister, but I'm not as pretty as you, so I'm afraid I can't be an actress."
Besides, I'm still a student, and my studies should be my priority.
His answer was impeccable; while politely declining, he shamelessly complimented Su Xiaoyan on her youth and beauty!
If Lu Mingfei were here, he would definitely say: "Teacher Da Mi, you are too despicable!"
The other women finally realized what was happening. To avoid being mistaken for strange women with ulterior motives, they all pretended to be passersby in need of rest, only saying a few words as they passed the two:
"Such a pretty little girl, she must be very good at studying, right?"
"Which school do you attend? You look so young, are you a high school student?"
"Your skin is so good, what skincare products do you use?"
"Hey, what's wrong with you...?"
Their questions seemed casual, but they all carried a subtle probing.
Xia Mi handled the situation with ease, her smile sweet and her tone obedient, subtly avoiding any questions that might touch on her core identity, leaving only the image of a smart, beautiful, sensible, and well-mannered perfect young girl.
Hmph, do you really think I've been spending all these years in the human world just to hook up with rich guys?!
She's also incredibly adept at navigating interpersonal relationships and social interactions.
After a brief conversation, Xia Mi successfully left Su Xiaoyan and the others with the excellent impression that "this woman should only exist in heaven, how often can one hear of her in the mortal world?"
When Su Xiaoyan suggested exchanging contact information so that it would be easier to find opportunities to act or sing in the future, Xia Mi hesitated only slightly before smiling and agreeing.
"My name is Xia Mi, like a summer flower, blooming until its full glory, but still just a fleeting, expansive beauty~"
After giving her phone number and name, Xia Mi waved goodbye.
Looking at her future daughter-in-law's name on her phone screen, Su Xiaoyan felt her happiness index instantly skyrocket. The smile on her lips was so wide that even recalling all the sad and painful things in her life couldn't suppress it.
Several close friends were incredibly envious. Not only was her son exceptionally outstanding, but her future daughter-in-law was also perfect. She was practically a winner in life.
However, it wasn't until Xia Mi left and met up with Chu Zihang, who was standing with his back to them in the distance, and they continued walking hand in hand toward the aquarium exit, that Su Xiaoyan and her best friend suddenly realized what was happening.
I was so busy looking at their faces and chatting that I didn't ask any of the most important questions!
What exactly is the relationship between these two? How far has it progressed? Why did Zihang suddenly return this time?
"I was so stupid, really. I only knew that lust could cloud judgment, but I never thought that women could also be blinded by beauty!"
Aunt Ya Ya slapped her forehead in frustration, looking utterly regretful.
"It's okay!" Su Xiaoyan waved her phone like it was a precious treasure. "Anyway, I've got their contact information, and there will be plenty of opportunities to keep in touch in the future."
"Come on, Zihang and the others are going to eat, hurry up and catch up."
So, when Chu Zihang and Xia Mi chose a decent-looking grilled fish restaurant in the shopping district near the aquarium and sat down in a relatively quiet booth to start studying the menu, five sneaky figures also quietly slipped in.
Su Xiaoyan and her friends deliberately chose a booth that was neither too close nor too far from Chu Zihang and his group, with a potted plant slightly blocking their view, making it very convenient for eavesdropping.
They thought they were being discreet, but little did they know that their every move was being keenly perceived by Chu Zihang and Xia Mifeiren.
Xia Mi rested her chin on one hand, smiling as she looked at Chu Zihang across from her. In her other hand, she held her phone, the screen of which lit up, displaying Su Xiaoyan's contact information that she had just saved.
She said nothing, yet it was as if she had said everything.
Chu Zihang looked at her and her phone, as well as the group of mothers next door who were even breathing cautiously, and sighed helplessly.
Since things have come to this, let's order some food first.
After ordering, while waiting for their food to be served, the two began to talk in hushed tones.
The volume was controlled to a level that was just loud enough for the group of aunties next door who were eavesdropping to hear clearly.
Xia Mi fiddled with the tableware on the table, seemingly casually mentioning:
"Senior, how many days will you stay this time? You're not going to have to rush back to school tomorrow, are you?"
Chu Zihang replied cooperatively, "This time, the main task is to complete the school's enrollment quota. If all goes well, I can go back tonight."
He was generous in sharing, saying that Kassel College had previously failed to admit Lu Mingfei, so this time he took over to interview the equally outstanding Xia Mi.
Upon hearing this, Xia Mi crossed her hands under her chin and looked at him with a bright smile:
"I see. Does that mean I passed the interview, Mr. Chu?"
Chu Zihang felt the little feet stepping on his shoes, as if Xia Mi would stomp down hard if his answer didn't satisfy her. To avoid being crippled by the mother tyrannosaurus, he nodded earnestly:
"Perfect pass."
Xia Mi nodded in satisfaction: "Then please guide me in the future, senior brother~"
The conversation between the two was packed with information, which was readily apparent to the group of mothers who were eavesdropping nearby.
It turns out that Zihang didn't skip his final exams to secretly meet his girlfriend; he was actually a recruitment representative sent by Kassel College, and his recruitment target was this girl named Xia Mi.
Moreover, judging from this, the two knew each other before and were even classmates. Although they later separated, they have kept in touch online and their relationship has always been quite good.
Xia Mi is now preparing to apply to Chu Zihang's school and has already passed the interview!
So... the reason they're so close now is because they've known each other for a long time, understand each other, and are about to become alumni, so it's natural that they've come together?
But what's missing is a formal confession?
The aunties automatically imagined a beautiful reunion between childhood sweethearts who had been separated for a long time, and their eyes lit up and their hearts surged with excitement.
Su Xiaoyan was overjoyed. This was not a girl she had just met; she was an old classmate she knew well and who was equally outstanding. Moreover, her son had personally interviewed her for admission.
This is fate! If anyone says it wasn't ordained by heaven, she'll be the first to disagree!
However, he was even more determined not to appear in front of the two of them rashly, lest he affect their progress and suffer a great loss.
"Let's go, let's find another place, don't disturb the young couple."
