Chapter 395 Is it a mentally challenged little idiot?
Julian returned with a full load once again.
The beastmen at the dock were filled with envy, and some of them spoke with a sour tone.
"Julian, you've been sending fish to the palace every day, how often do you even get to see the Queen?!"
"He went to the kitchen; how could he possibly get into Wang Ci's quarters? That's wishful thinking!"
"Hahaha!"
The orcs laughed and mocked, but deep down they wished they were the ones delivering the fish.
Previously, people could send any good seafood they caught to the royal palace.
But later, after delivering the fish, an orc sneaked towards the palace where the Queen lived, only to be caught by the beast guards and beaten until his skin was torn and bleeding.
Later, the palace forbade them from sending fish.
But Julian could, because his brother worked as a beast-servant in the palace, specifically serving the Queen Mother, and easily allowed Julian to continue delivering fish.
Julian ignored them, divided up the best fish, shrimp, crabs, and octopuses, sold off the rest cheaply, and then pushed the wooden cart toward the palace.
He revealed his identity at the back gate of the palace, passed the inspection, and successfully entered the palace, arriving at the fire room.
Cecilia was also mixed in with the barrel.
The fish and shrimp in the wooden bucket sensed his presence and dared not approach him, leaving a circle around him.
As the wooden bucket cart stopped and the wooden lid opened, he used the shaking to blend into the school of fish and pour them out along with the others.
The beastmen in the fire room were discussing what to do tonight.
Cecilia silently hopped from one basin to another, dodging the orc's blades.
Finally, he successfully joined the steamed dish, steaming thoroughly alongside a bunch of cleaned fish, shrimp, octopus, and crabs, and then, around dinner time, it was delivered to Jiang Xi's palace.
He hid among the ripe fish, shrimp, octopus, and crabs, and immediately spotted Jiang Xi sitting by the window.
A gentle sea breeze stirred her beautiful black hair, which brushed against her fair face, creating a picturesque scene that blended seamlessly with the sea and sky outside the window.
Cecilia stared at her, somewhat lost in thought.
He thought to himself, "I'm so stupid."
She stood in front of him, but he didn't recognize her.
So many things happened out of nowhere, almost causing him to miss out again.
Cecilia was placed on the table, and then, taking advantage of the orcs' inattention, she slipped out. But as soon as she left, the fish and shrimp covering her scattered, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The beast servants nearly fainted when they saw a lively black fish emerge from the steamed fish and shrimp.
They immediately knelt down.
"Please forgive us, Ms. Wang! We'll go and redo it right away!"
Jiang Xi blinked and walked over, somewhat incredulous.
"Little black fish?"
Cecilia blinked twice to indicate that it was me.
Jiang Xi quickly gave instructions to the beast attendant.
"Quickly get me a fish tank and fill it with water."
She reached out to scoop up the little black fish, then was startled by its scalding temperature.
"It's not already cooked, is it?!"
Osiris's voice came in.
"What's ripe?"
Jiang Xi picked up the little black fish and showed it to him.
"Look! That silly little fish that keeps getting stranded on the beach today!"
Cecilia: "..."
Osiris narrowed his long eyes.
Jiang Xi touched the blackfish's head and thought it might be a mentally challenged fish, having been stranded repeatedly before being caught again.
However, it is resistant to high temperatures and is surprisingly difficult to kill.
She thought that perhaps because they were hard to kill, their minds weren't sharp, and all their talent was focused on survival.
Osiris didn't detect any orcish aura from the black fish, but he was instinctively certain that it must be a small sea orc.
"Someone, take this fish back into the sea."
He reached out to take the blackfish away, but it was avoided.
For some reason, Jiang Xi quite liked this silly little fish.
She looked up at Osiris.
"How about we take care of him?"
"He's so stupid, he wouldn't survive if he were put back in the sea."
Perhaps, after she left the beach, he was stranded many more times.
Osiris, "He's probably a sea creature orc; newborn orcs usually can't speak."
Jiang Xi's eyes widened.
"Then we absolutely cannot send them back into the sea! Quickly send someone to the sea tribes to ask if they have any newborn beastmen who have gone missing."
Osiris pursed his lips, wanting nothing more than to throw the fish out the window and back into the sea.
But when he met the female master's worried gaze, he could only nod.
"good."
Jiang Xi put the little black fish into the fish tank, and then added some fresh fish and shrimp for him to eat.
But the little black fish, perhaps because it was newly born, didn't know how to eat fish and shrimp. It stayed at the bottom of the tank, motionless, which was very pitiful.
Jiang Xi peeled a shrimp for him, tore the shrimp meat into small pieces, and fed it to the little black fish.
This time, the little black fish finally opened its mouth and swallowed the shrimp meat she fed it.
Osiris: "Mistress, come and eat. Let them feed you."
Jiang Xi placed the peeled shrimp in the beast servant's hand and gave him instructions.
"Tear it into smaller pieces, he can't eat it all."
The beast servant nodded quickly.
Jiang Xi turned to eat, but the beast servant was troubled.
Because the little black fish completely ignored him, he put his finger holding the shrimp meat into the fish tank and was bitten by the little black fish, clearly indicating its rejection.
So, the beast servants took turns feeding the little black fish.
But the result was the same: the little blackfish wouldn't eat it.
Jiang Xi was enjoying her meal, glancing at the fish tank every now and then. Seeing everyone gathered around it, she couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong?"
The beast servant glanced cautiously at Osiris, then lowered his eyes and said.
"The little black fish won't eat it."
Jiang Xi exclaimed "Huh?" and was about to get up to look.
Osiris put his arm around her waist and pulled her back.
He was very unhappy, unhappy that the little black fish had attracted the female's attention, but when he spoke, his tone remained gentle.
"The female master should eat first, and then she can watch."
Jiang Xi sat back down, but ate somewhat absentmindedly, glancing at the fish tank every now and then.
Perhaps due to preconceived notions, she still thought it was a stupid fish, and even a newborn beastman might be a little stupid.
Stupid and pitiful, stranded or caught, they were treated like seafood and steamed into scalded fish.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xi looked at Osiris.
"Let's get a witch doctor to come and take a look. It's been steaming in the pot for so long, I don't know if it's okay."
They're already stupid; what if steaming makes them even stupider?
Osiris gritted his teeth, pulled the female master into his arms, and sat her on his lap.
"I'll get jealous if the female master cares so much about other beastmen."
Jiang Xi was still holding the bowl in her hands when she was suddenly pulled into someone's arms, and she was stunned for a moment.
Hearing Osiris's words, she snapped out of her daze and couldn't help but laugh.
"You're jealous of a newborn orc? You'd be jealous of an entire ocean!"
Osiris took a shrimp that was dipped in water and fed it to the female by hand.
"ah……"
Jiang Xi took a bite and muttered to herself.
"I'm not some little beastman who needs to be coaxed to eat."
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar slapping sound of a tail suddenly came from the other end of the fish tank.
However, this time it was the fish tank that was being slapped.
