Chapter 314 [Addiction]
But when he turned around and saw the children making a fuss in the palace, the king stopped laughing. "But it seems you have a big problem to solve right now."
The king glanced towards the royal hall, where the children who had just come out of the amusement park were sitting in the hall in a depressed mood, their mouths curled up in disbelief.
They had only been in the park for less than half an hour when it suddenly started raining huge ice balls! They hadn't had enough fun yet! They were just about to have a taste of the fun when they were forced to leave!
There were also two greedy little cats devouring the spicy snacks they bought at the amusement park, called la tiao. They even licked the packaging clean. Although they were sizzling with the spiciness, they couldn't resist the deliciousness and intoxication of the snacks! How could it be so fragrant?
The lingering aroma of spicy strips was still lingering in the air, and many children were swallowing their saliva wildly, regretting that they had not bought a few more packs at the convenience store.
The three- and five-year-old children were unhappy, and the twelve- and thirteen-year-old adults were also restless.
How they wished they had not been to the amusement park and tasted the sweetness, so that they would not miss it as much as they do now!
They were discussing a game box they came across at the amusement park.
The box was amazing. It was half a person's height, with a small window made of glass. The stall owner said it was a "screen." The objects on the screen moved, like a shadow puppet. The stall owner called this game box a "game console."
Lu Yuanxin and another teenager had just spent a bag of gold leaves to exchange for a box of game coins. Under the guidance of the stall owner, they started playing a fighting game called King of Fighters. They were having the most fun when hail suddenly fell from the sky and the game console broke down.
Lu Yuanxin and the boy were arguing about who was better at playing games.
Lu Yuanxin snorted coldly: "I'm definitely better at playing than you! I almost emptied your health bar! It's just that the hail suddenly broke the game console!"
The boy across from him was unconvinced: "That's not necessarily true! I might seem to be at a disadvantage, but that's because I'm charging up my ultimate move. This move might just knock you out!"
The two teenagers were arguing endlessly, while the other three teenagers around them were scratching their heads while listening to their discussion. There were only two of that big thing called a game console, and they had to queue up to play. God knows how impatient they were when they watched Lu Yuanxin and the other two operate it!
The characters in the game box had a wide variety of skills, and they could even use fire and ice, which was really cool. But before they could even play, the amusement park was forced to close!
Even adults can easily become addicted to games once they get involved, let alone children in adolescence.
The children, who were not having a good time, were like the donkey hanging by the carrot. Everyone was discussing what to do next: "Let our parents book the whole place?"
"Didn't you hear what the messenger said? He dared not receive us anymore. The hail was a warning."
"What should we do then?"
Lu Yuanxin, the most opinionated of the group, smacked his lips, holding the instant noodles he had snatched from his cousin Lu Yuanqing. "These adults must be hiding some secrets from us. They're not trustworthy at all. Why don't we go talk to the divine messenger ourselves?"
"Only the goddess's followers can enter the amusement park normally. Wouldn't it be great if we become the goddess's followers? She can even protect us."
This group of noble young masters were no longer as confident and arrogant as when they first met. They realized that the goddess and the messenger of God did not tolerate them at all and had no intention of trying to please them.
This is the first time I have encountered such a situation after being spoiled for so many years.
Therefore, after hearing Lu Yuanxin's speech, although everyone was willing to try it, they couldn't help but worry.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Will the envoys of God pay any attention to us? We were so rude to them at the welcome banquet."
Lu Yuanxin replied, "How can we know if we don't try? Don't we still have the ivory whistle? Isn't the purpose of their trip to take over the Seashell Ranch?"
…
After the king and the royal family members discussed how to deal with the situation next, when they walked into the hall, these noble children had already calmed down and had an idea in their minds.
Seeing the children so quiet, the royal family couldn't help but feel surprised, but at the same time, they felt relieved. They had been through enough today, and the fact that the children didn't make a scene was a blessing for them. Everyone took their children home.
On the morning of the second day, a group of rare guests came to the Danyun tribe where Jiang Lili and her friends lived.
Led by their servants, the young nobles, both large and small, looked curiously at the tribe, which looked simple and poor in their eyes.
When the residents of the tribe saw these little devils coming, they were frightened and thought they were here to cause trouble. After all, these kids had nothing to do all day and just loved to find trouble for fun.
The tribal residents asked their children to go into the house and hide. Then they saw these little devils walking towards the residence of the goddess and the messenger of God, and alarm bells rang in their hearts.
At this time, everyone no longer cared about the noble status of this group of people. They all ran towards the felt house where Jiang Lili and Wen Qiao lived, and surrounded the felt house in a protective posture.
Seeing these people guarding against him like a monster, Lu Yuanxin was furious. These civilians had clearly seen them groveling before. "What are you doing? We want to discuss something with the goddess and the angel. Let us in!"
The tribal chief sternly dismissed them: "Stop disturbing the goddess. We've all heard what happened at the welcome banquet. You've even teamed up to bully the little divine messenger."
Lu Yuanxin showed the ivory whistle around his neck that symbolized his power: "If you don't let us in, I will have the royal guards take you to jail."
The little devils originally thought that if they showed the whistle, the civilians would be afraid and beg for mercy, just like before.
Instead of being afraid, the tribesmen scoffed at the small amount of ivory in their hands: "The goddess is now the master of Mi Country. Who do you little brats think you are? Who are you trying to scare with a broken whistle?"
At this time, the tribal residents firmly believed that they had the goddess's support and that the goddess would not watch them being captured by these domineering little demons for no reason. The goddess gave them confidence and broke their superstition about the royal authority.
In the past, the tribal residents were afraid of the royal family, and the nobles could crush them to death with just a flick of their fingers as easily as crushing an ant.
After experiencing the drought, they felt even more helpless and desperate. They were in a desperate situation and were being exploited by the royal family, but they were powerless to resist.
The arrival of God's messenger was like a ray of light, breaking through the darkness and saving them from fire and water.
The messenger of God allowed them to grow high-yield crops on this barren land, and also brought them chickens and ducklings and taught them how to raise them in captivity. Now every household can eat eggs.
As living conditions improved, the tribal people became more confident.
Now, in the eyes of the people of the tribe, these royal nobles who are against the gods and goddesses will have a bad end, so they are just waiting to see the day when these nobles die.
Lu Yuanxin and other little devils felt a pang in their hearts when they saw the change in the attitude of the civilians towards them.
It's over. It seems that the ivory whistles in their hands are no longer popular. Even these civilians are not afraid of them...
Just at this moment, the door of the felt room opened.
