Chapter 292 [The Outrageous Seashell Ranch Owner]
Jiang Lili brushed her sleeves, glanced at the king, smiled faintly, and said, "Don't panic, King. It's my followers who are setting the rules."
"Really? Hehe, that sounded scary."
The king wiped the sweat from his forehead. The loud noise just now was even more terrifying than thunder, and the deterrent effect made his scalp tingle.
"Your Majesty, you have acted prudently and with sincerity. There is no need to be so nervous."
Xin Che, who was standing next to Jiang Lili, was also dressed as a divine messenger, wearing a white robe with silver edges.
He tilted his head and smiled at the king. "We make rules for those who don't follow the rules."
Being looked at like this by Xin Che, the sweat that the king had just wiped off his forehead began to appear again.
He quickly took a few steps forward and said, "Yes, yes, everyone, please follow me. The dishes prepared for the welcome banquet are getting cold."
The group walked towards the royal palace in the royal city where the banquet was held.
Police Officer Sheng Zhixingsheng was not in the team. He and tribal chief Qiao Le took a part of the Xin family army and landed from other places in Mi Kingdom on boats last night to cooperate with the tribal people.
Lutan.
After the admiral fired the gun, the royal guards immediately became obedient, tremblingly gave up the lookout post, and obediently followed the navy's command.

The welcome banquet was held open-air in the open space in front of the royal city of Mi Kingdom. The people of Mi Kingdom called this place the Sea Sound Field. According to Mi Kingdom legend, the sound of the sea can be heard here.
The king and members of the royal family usually held celebrations, parades or sacrificial activities here.
The Haiyin Field is surrounded by eight towering stone pillars and is shaped like a huge octagon.
There is a magnificent stone sculpture on Haiyin Field, which is a sheep with wings. It is lifelike and majestic.
At this time, many grills were set up in the square, and looking around, there were roasted whole lamb, roasted beef, roasted sea fish and scallops...
The aroma of meat and spices intertwined together makes people salivate.
The wooden dining tables were neatly arranged in the square, forming an octagon, and the barbecue grill was set up in the open space in the middle of the octagon.
Royal servants were busy at the grill, packing the grilled food into plates and then delivering them to the tables of the royal family members.
However, when they saw the royal family members participating in the banquet, Jiang Lili and her group were dumbfounded!
Most of the people who attended the banquet were children and teenagers. The youngest looked only three years old, and the oldest was twelve or thirteen years old. A quick glance revealed
They were wearing short silk robes with jeweled belts around their waists. Their movements and expressions were extremely arrogant, and it was obvious that they were children from wealthy families.
The most important thing is that each of these children wears an ivory whistle necklace around their neck. Obviously, they are the owners of the thirty sections of Seashell Ranch.
The banquet hadn't started yet, but it was already extremely noisy, a gathering place for naughty kids!
Children aged three to five grabbed food from the table and used it as weapons, throwing it at each other. They stepped directly onto the table and jumped around on the enclosed table, playing a game of chase.
The naughty kids got their hands covered in oil, and they wiped it on their silk clothes without any scruples, and the freshly roasted meat was ruined on the ground.
When Jiang Lili and others saw this scene, their hearts were bleeding!
The older kids drew out the delicate, unsharpened daggers from their waists and started to playfully fight with each other.
"Bang--"
“Snap—”
The wooden low dining table was chopped by their short knives, causing wood chips to fly everywhere, and the sound of metal rubbing against each other was very harsh.
Some naughty children even played in the food preparation area and knocked over the barbecue grill.
With a "bang", the sound of charcoal fire exploding was heard.
Sparks from the fire flew onto the servant who was roasting meat. The servant was wearing coarse linen clothes and immediately caught fire.
He screamed in panic, but couldn't find any water to put out the fire, and was extremely anxious.
The young men burst into laughter at the servants' anxious expressions, shouting in strange tones, "Oh, there's a fire, there's a fire!"
"Look at his expression, it's as funny as a monkey's!"
The servants at the banquet looked anxious as they saw their companions on fire, but no one dared to rush forward to put out the fire.
They could not do anything unless the royal princes and young masters asked them to put out the fire for the servant.
Once you take action, it will be equivalent to going against these domineering princes and nobles, and there will be no good ending.
Wen Qiao looked around but couldn't find any water. He quickly rushed to the servant and put out the fire on him with a tablecloth. At the same time, he sent a message to Jiang Lili: "Lili, please send me a red envelope for rain."
Jiang Lili had prepared hundreds of tons of water in her personal collection for emergencies. At this time, she quickly sent a red envelope of rainwater to Wen Qiao to help the servant beside Wen Qiao put out the fire.
When the naughty kids saw a sudden downpour of rain on the servant's head, putting out the fire on him, their playful smiles froze on their faces and they looked as if they had seen a ghost.
The king witnessed the sudden rain and was secretly shocked. His eyes swept over Wen Qiao and Jiang Lili.
Wen Qiao asked the servant to go down and change clothes. She glanced at these naughty kids and returned to Jiang Lili with cold eyes.
She was afraid that these ignorant people would do something rude to Li Li.
"Why are you kids so restless? Look at what you've done. You don't even have a good place to stay!"
Only then did the king rebuke these naughty children: "Look, you've made the goddess angry!"
Then he had someone clear out the northern row of seats and respectfully and humbly invited Jiang Lili to sit at the table in the center.
The Mi people are accustomed to sitting on the ground and eating at low tables.
Jiang Lili gracefully sat down on the futon, and Xin Che, Wen Qiao, and Liao Dabao sat down beside her in turn. The king tactfully found a corner to sit in. He and Jiang Lili and the others smiled and said, "The child is young and naive. I hope the goddess will not be offended."
Jiang Lili replied calmly, "No, it's normal for children to not know the seriousness of the situation."
After listening to the king's introduction, the naughty kids all looked towards Jiang Lili.
The surprise on the teenagers' faces had turned into amusement and curiosity. They smiled mischievously, "So you're the goddess and the messenger who deceived the common people in the tribe."
"How do you make it rain? Teach us! We want to be gods, too, calling the wind and rain. How awesome!"
"Yes, if you can teach us and make us happy, I will give you the ivory whistle around my neck."
Jiang Lili imitated Xin Che's icy expression and said indifferently, "Only geniuses with intelligence and a kind heart have the qualifications to learn."
After saying that, she scanned the young men carefully, as if she was really checking whether they had the qualifications.
The boys looked at each other, thinking that Jiang Lili really wanted to teach them, and their attitude became less lazy than before, and they all sat up straight.
Just as they sat up straight, Jiang Lili said calmly, "You don't deserve it."
