Chapter 223 The Narcissistic Little White
Commander Zhang was missing Xiaobai terribly and hoped that Xiaobai could come back from visiting soon.
Far away in the Hongming Galaxy, Little White of the Katon Empire was sneezing repeatedly, and he was even more puzzled.
What the heck? Could it be that its host is missing it? Talking about it? Otherwise, why would it keep sneezing?
Thinking of this, Little White was delighted, and its tail involuntarily wagged. Meeting Lele's strange gaze, Little White said smugly:
【Oh dear! This must be because my host misses me. Seriously, he can't be without me for a second! It's kind of embarrassing! Hehe~】
Lele: [...]
This guy is probably not worth keeping!
Hong Shisan: "........."
Is her own friend a little bit off in the head? That's what she thought, but she didn't dare say it out loud.
After all, this friend of hers was a major client of both her and her company, so she should probably watch her tongue.
Otherwise, if they get angry and stop making their own pre-made meals, she and Tongzi will be left with nothing.
Since it didn't get any response, Xiaobai thought that Lele and its host were envious of it. So, Xiaobai, who had no sense of propriety, started showing off its host in various ways.
My host is so good to me, so incredibly good. She's beautiful inside and out, and last time she even gave me a whole energy mine…!
Lele: [...]
Hong Shisan: "........."
**
Achoo!
The sneeze instantly brought Lu Yunting and the others back to reality, who were lost in thought. They all looked bewildered and turned to look at Gu Xinyan beside them.
Gu Xinyan's face flushed as she stared at him; she had just suddenly felt her ears getting hot.
Then she couldn't help herself and thought that Commander Zhang should have already seen the letter she sent back, and if nothing unexpected happened, he must be talking about her.
Commander Zhang, who took the blame for Xiaobai: "........."
"I wonder if Ellie has told her father that if we don't reach an agreement in the end, we'll have to go somewhere else again."
Zhang Junyang scratched his head, stared at the stars in the sky, and said worriedly.
Upon hearing this, Li Chendong nudged him with his elbow in dissatisfaction.
"What discouraging talk are you making? I think Ellie will succeed because her father must love her very much. Even if she doesn't succeed, I doubt he'll kick us out. At most, we'll just have fewer customers!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present turned to look at him. If no customers were coming, they might as well find somewhere else to stay.
After all, they've come all this way; they can't just leave empty-handed. That's not like them.
Ellie, who was being talked about by the others, slipped through a hidden hole at the back of the palace. Seeing that no one had noticed her, she quickly slipped back towards her own palace.
The tail behind it swung wildly, almost like a bolt of lightning, and the tension in my heart quietly subsided.
It seems my father has gone out hunting blue carp beasts and hasn't returned yet. Luckily! Otherwise, I would definitely have been caught for sneaking out.
Unfortunately, she was too quick to think things through, so she didn't notice the maid beside her looking at her with pity in her eyes.
At this moment, Ellie was thinking about getting back to her bedroom as quickly as possible so that she could have a better story to tell when her father returned.
Little did she know, her plan was quite good, but unfortunately, the moment she pushed open the door, she met a pair of deep, calm eyes inside the room.
Ellie: "........."
Is it too late to admit your mistake now?
"So you finally decided to come back? I thought you'd gone off on a wild adventure and didn't want to come back!"
Upon hearing that faint sound, Ellie felt her scalp tingle and her mind was filled with thoughts of what she should do.
She was caught red-handed the first time she tried to sneak out; she was really unlucky.
Meanwhile, inside the house, the mermaid king Selibo looked at his little girl's panicked face, her two little hands still unconsciously poking at each other, and felt both amused and annoyed.
He usually didn't restrict her movements, and she was free to wander around the city. However, things had become turbulent overseas recently, which was why he didn't want her to go out.
But I didn't expect this girl to be so curious; she actually dared to sneak out.
If the hunt for the blue carp beast hadn't gone so smoothly today, and we hadn't returned early, we wouldn't have known that this girl had secretly slipped out.
When he returned and found her missing, he sent men to search the entire underwater city.
However, the result was that no one had seen her. As soon as he got this result, he immediately led his men to the shore, and to his surprise, he found his daughter on the shore.
Besides, there were a few humans and a strange house. He was both puzzled and wary, but he went up late. As soon as he arrived, his little daughter had already rushed back.
Seeing her hurried figure, Serippo decided to let the humans go for now, but sent someone to keep an eye on the human while he himself rushed back first.
Sure enough, when I saw her flustered little face again, I felt a little helpless. If this girl wanted to go out, she could have just told him, and he would have taken her up.
But she sneaked up there by herself, and things weren't very peaceful up there lately. If something unexpected happened, it would be too late.
So this audacious girl still needs to be properly disciplined.
"Didn't I tell you? Things aren't peaceful outside lately. If you want to go out, you can tell your father. Your father will take you up to see it when he has time. But your sneaking out like this has made your father very angry!"
Hearing this, Ellie's eyes darted around, and she unconsciously swallowed. Caught red-handed like this, she felt guilty and didn't know what to say. After a long while, she finally whispered in a coquettish voice:
"Father, Ellie knows she was wrong. She'll never sneak out again. Please forgive her this once, Father!"
Looking at her little girl's pitiful little eyes and the deliberately drawn-out tone of her voice, the Mermaid King Selibo glared at her with annoyance.
Even if someone was extremely angry, that look from her would almost completely calm them down.
Alas, it is said that dragons have difficulty producing offspring, but the same is true for the merfolk, and it's not just the merfolk.
Even the other races within the sea creatures are the same, and no one knows why.
In the past, they had difficulty conceiving, and eating fertility herbs could give them hope of getting pregnant. However, in the last hundred years, no matter how much fertility herbs the people in the tribe ate, it was to no avail.
