Chapter 161 You have to give up something to gain something.



Although Bai Qingqing loves food, she doesn't eat much.

The most important thing is to try something new.

However, Yun Yue and the Flood Dragon King were all big eaters, and in no time, several plates were piled up in front of them.

This was even with their deliberate restraint.

If we hadn't restrained ourselves, this whole table would have been devoured long ago.

Bai Qingqing leisurely sipped a glass of fruit wine, a faint smile playing on her lips.

She actually really enjoys watching them show off their food.

Although she didn't do it, she still felt a sense of accomplishment and pride in being Chinese.

Chinese cuisine is the best in the entire universe.

No rebuttals accepted.

Yun Yue looked at the bowl of vegetable soup in front of her and was caught in a dilemma.

He has already eaten quite a lot.

But the soup tasted so tempting, like a little hook, subtly and persistently luring him in.

"Eat as much as you want, don't hold back. Master doesn't like waste." Wukong transmitted his voice while happily munching on a large peach that weighed over a pound.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yue decisively picked up the bowl of soup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Mmm, that feels good!

After eating stir-fried vegetables and pastries, the Dragon King finally began to venture into shrimp and crab, chewing each bite thoroughly.

The flesh of my nemesis smells delicious!

The Turtle Prime Minister quietly nudged the Dragon King's arm and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't be so furious. They've already been defeated and can never rise again."

He didn't get back until halfway through the luncheon.

Originally, he came in to report that the Shrimp Clan Palace had sent a team to take over, but Bai Qingqing invited him to sit down for dinner.

Bai Qingqing's purpose was very simple.

She thought that when she had nothing to do, she would invite Prime Minister Turtle to sit in the courtyard.

Her little turtle would be very happy to see a turtle prime minister of the same kind.

"You're right." The Dragon King nodded, then tore off another crab leg, his mouth agape in a wide grin.

Seeing that Bai Qingqing's gaze kept falling on the Turtle Prime Minister, Yuexi leaned closer and asked, "Qingqing, what's wrong with the Turtle Prime Minister?"

Wukong, who was sitting on the other side of Bai Qingqing, immediately perked up his ears.

"Do you think he would agree if I invited Prime Minister Turtle to occasionally visit my little turtle in the courtyard?" Bai Qingqing whispered.

He's a prime minister now; wouldn't it be a waste of his talents to have him serve as a mere playmate?

"No one can resist the delicious food from your place," Yuexi said.

“That makes sense,” Bai Qingqing smiled.

I can invite him with delicious food, and then give the Turtle Prime Minister some "salary".

This way, you can find a playmate for your little turtle and also consume some high-grade spirit stones, killing two birds with one stone.

very nice.

There is a rather urgent problem right now.

Previously, there was a spirit stone ledger, and although the price was higher than the market price, there was still a limit.

Now that the spirit stone ledger is no longer needed, she is confused about the "prices".

Yun Zhan seems to be quite knowledgeable; perhaps we should ask him later.

After Wukong finished eating the peach, he put the peach pit away.

Then he looked up at Prime Minister Turtle.

It was different from the way Bai Qingqing had looked at it earlier.

Bai Qingqing did so subtly, while it fixed its gaze directly on the Turtle Prime Minister.

The turtle prime minister's shell seemed to sink a few inches from looking at it.

"Great Sage, what are your orders?" Prime Minister Turtle asked nervously as he swallowed a mouthful of flower cake.

At the same time, he desperately tried to recall if he had done anything to upset the Great Sage.

After thinking it over, the result is no.

Why did the Great Sage look at me with that kind of gaze?

It's kind of scary.

"Master recently acquired a little turtle as a spirit pet. Would you like to go and see it when we return from Shadowmoon Island?" Wukong asked.

"I, I, can I?" Prime Minister Turtle was so happy that he didn't know where to put his two paws.

"Master, what do you think?" Wukong turned to Bai Qingqing and asked.

"Of course you can." Upon hearing this, Bai Qingqing couldn't help but want to hug Wukong and give him a good rub.

How thoughtful!

"I'm willing, I'm willing," Turtle Prime Minister said repeatedly.

“But you are the Prime Minister of the Flood Dragon Palace, won’t that be too much of a delay?” Bai Qingqing asked.

As the prime minister of a clan, he must be extremely busy with state affairs, right?

Before the Turtle Prime Minister could answer, the Dragon King interjected, "No problem, no problem. The Turtle Prime Minister is just a figurehead; he's actually quite idle every day."

The Turtle Prime Minister almost couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood at the Dragon King.

He was diligent and hardworking, working like a spinning top every day.

However, he knew that the Dragon King was saying this for his own good, so he could only bear the burden of being "idle every day".

“There are many generals in the Dragon Palace, and they handle the specific affairs. I am indeed not busy.” The Turtle Prime Minister had tried his best to control himself, but his voice still trembled slightly. “If you don’t mind, I would like to take care of the little turtle for you and watch it grow up.”

At this point, Prime Minister Turtle sighed and said, "Although this Canglan Sea is vast, there are very few small turtles that can cultivate with spiritual intelligence. I haven't encountered one in all these years. I never expected that you would have one, sir. It must be fate."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingqing suddenly felt a little guilty.

When her little turtle was first born, it was tested with a testing stone, and it didn't show any spiritual roots.

Although the ancestor said it might be because he was just born and too young.

But it still can't speak.

She was prepared for it to be an "ordinary turtle".

But whether it's a genius or an ordinary tortoise, once it's followed her, it's her spirit pet.

She will definitely treat her well.

“My little turtle was just born, and I haven’t tested its spiritual roots yet, so I don’t know if it can cultivate,” Bai Qingqing said.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Turtle wished he could slap himself.

You're so talkative.

“Anything that catches your eye, sir, must be extraordinary,” Prime Minister Turtle hurriedly added. “Besides, it’s impossible to tell if a baby has just been born.”

"That's what the ancestor said," Bai Qingqing said with a smile. "I'll test it again when I have time. But no matter what the result is, it will always be my spirit pet."

“What you say is true, sir.” Prime Minister Turtle nodded.

I have a very precious bead. According to my ancestors, there is a trace of the bloodline power of a divine tortoise inside that bead.

If the little turtle is indeed an ordinary turtle, then feed it.

Even if that little turtle is as ordinary as a blockhead, it will be able to develop intelligence.

Prime Minister Turtle made up his mind.

You have to be willing to give up something.

You have to give up something to gain something.

When doing things for your master, you must be efficient and decisive.

After settling the matter with the Turtle Prime Minister, Bai Qingqing looked at the Flood Dragon King and asked, "Flood Dragon King, do you know if there are any deep-sea pearls in the Canglan Sea?"

"Yes." The Dragon King nodded immediately: "If you want it, sir, I will go and get it now."

Pearl oysters are a family of organisms that specialize in producing pearls.

“Yes, I want to buy some,” Bai Qingqing said. “If you know anyone who sells them, you can introduce me to them.”
