Achou boasted in front of Ishtar.
No one noticed the flash of disgust and murderous intent beneath Ishtar's patient and gentle face.
If he had not been concerned about the little princess still being here, he would have long ago chopped off the hypocritical and arrogant head of this disgusting frog and fed it to the wild boars or made some soup for those ignorant guests to show them who is the host and who is the guest.
Yili secretly looked at that Ajun.
Why does this man look familiar?
It wasn't his appearance or temperament, but her intuition told her that little Ajun was no ordinary person.
Ajun raised his eyes, which were as bright and pure as golden gems, and met Yili's curious gaze.
He immediately lowered his head in panic and timidity, and his white earlobes instantly turned pink.
Yi Li: "..."
Are you so easily shy?
"Does the little princess like him very much?" Ishtar's voice was extremely gentle, but it made Yili shudder subconsciously. She immediately shook her head: "No, I just think he is very strange. I will tell you when I get back."
As Yili spoke, he glanced at the ugly toad with a calculating look on his face, which was filled with shock and curiosity. Ishtar then understood what Yili wanted to say.
"good."
"Congratulations to the player for earning the enmity of Ah Chou, the rare goods merchant from the Vaal Swamp Empire. A kind reminder from the system: please proceed with caution and protect your own safety."
Yi Li: "..."
She glanced at Ah Chou who was standing not far away and gave him a faint smile.
This toad that can eat swan meat is indeed different. No matter what she does, this thing wants to kill itself.
Let’s see, will she kill this guy first, or will this guy kill her first.
"Ajun, what are you doing standing there? Why don't you bow to Mr. Ishtar?"
Upon hearing this, the handsome young man called Ah Jun hurriedly took a few steps forward to Ah Chou's side and gave Ishtar an awkward greeting: "Good day, Mr. Ishtar."
"It really jumps when you poke it, Jun. Have you forgotten the lady next to Ishtar?"
Ah Jun became even more flustered after hearing this. His eyes were slightly red and he almost cried: "I, I don't know this person..."
"I am Yili, a princess from another country, and Ishtar's future wife."
Yili took the initiative to reveal her identity in a friendly manner. Ishtar, who had just been somewhat unhappy that his fiancée had taken the initiative to help others, felt completely bewildered after hearing the second half of the sentence.
She actually took the initiative to admit her identity. Does she have feelings for me?
Ishtar looked at the timid Ajun, who was in no way comparable to herself except for his good looks, and mercifully let him go.
"Good day, Your Highness."
Ajun looked at Yili with gratitude.
Ah Chou beside him snorted coldly: "If I had known you were such a coward, I would have given you to the King of the Dragon Country next door. You are such a useless thing."
Upon hearing this, Ajun's face turned even paler and his steps became even more unsteady.
Although Yili didn't know what the King of Dragon Kingdom was, he could guess from Ajun's reaction that if he went there, his fate would probably be even worse.
But what does this have to do with her?
The reason she helped him was simply out of curiosity.
She felt a kindred spirit in him and wondered if he would give her a surprise.
"Okay, little princess, we should go back and have some snacks." Ishtar made up an excuse and interrupted the meeting that had already made him impatient.
"OK."
Ishtar said this and pulled Yili away.
Achou and Ajun behind them saluted and watched them leave.
The beautiful balcony tea table is filled with delicious snacks.
"Wow, Mr. Ishtar, you have so many delicious foods here. I don't know which one to eat." Yi Li pretended to be surprised.
Ishtar smiled slightly and said, "It's just one of the specialties of Giant Island. There are many more delicacies waiting for you to enjoy slowly."
Just as Ishta was about to enjoy a romantic afternoon tea with Yili, a middle-aged man dressed in a formal suit and wearing single-rimmed glasses walked in. "Mr. Ishta, something has happened with our client and we need you to personally handle it."
The irritation in Ishtar's eyes flashed away, and her eyes turned cold as she looked at the butler: "What's the matter?"
Upon hearing this, the butler looked at Yi Li hesitantly.
"It's okay, Mr. Ishtar, you should go and deal with it first. I can handle it on my own. I'll wait for you here."
"Just tell me, it doesn't matter. As my fiancée who will be managing this island with me in the future, you have the right to know all this."
Yi Li picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and concealed the difference in his eyes.
This Ishtar actually didn't hide it from me?
Are you really defenseless?
"The three-headed hounds raised by the wizard Tariel attacked Achou, a wealthy merchant of rare goods in the Vaal Swamp Empire. Mr. Achou is now seriously injured. The wizard Tariel is unwilling to treat Achou and has only taken his three-headed hounds back and imprisoned them."
Ishtar: "It's just a small matter."
"But... the son of Achou, a wealthy merchant from the Val Swamp Empire, personally killed Achou and annexed all of Achou's forces. He has now become the new leader of the wealthy merchant family. Chaos has erupted over there, and many guests are wondering if you, the island owner, are planning to..."
The butler didn't dare to say the rest of the words, and lowered his head respectfully and fearfully.
Ishtar sneered, "Really?"
The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
However, Yili was able to taste each plate of different pastries on the table without changing his expression, and give them scores in his mind.
"What do you think, little princess?"
What could she feel?
Did he tell Ishtar in person that she was the one who released those hounds?
Unexpectedly, Ajun did not let her down. He took advantage of the guy's illness to kill him.
What danger? As long as she acted quickly enough, she would be a danger to others.
Yili looked at Ishtar with an innocent and confused expression: "Huh? What?"
It was obvious that she was not listening to what the housekeeper was saying. There was some cream on the corner of her mouth, which showed that she was just busy eating.
Ishtar was helpless for a moment, and reached out to gently wipe the cream off the corner of her mouth: "It's okay, you can continue eating."
The trembling butler beside him: "..."
It was a close call. I almost thought the island leader was going to start killing everyone.
I didn't expect that the future island owner's wife was so powerful. With just one sentence, she could make the island owner return to his usual gentle and kind self.
I hope that next time something happens, she will be by the island owner's side.
"Then I'll go take care of things first. If you have any questions, please ask the maids outside the door. They will meet all your requests."
Yili nodded while eating: "Hmm."
"Don't eat too much, it will make you feel uncomfortable."
Ishtar gave careful instructions, like a caring old father.
But they were all automatically blocked by Yili.
Ishtar smiled helplessly and left with the butler.
