Both being princesses of the North Sea, this suddenly appearing fifth sister bears no resemblance to Zhuli at all.
The beauty of candle glass is stunning, breathtaking, and anyone who sees it will be irresistibly drawn to it, like the rising sun, dazzling yet bringing joy.
While the fifth sister is also quite beautiful, she possesses a low-key and reserved quality. Compared to others, she doesn't have such a strong outgoing feel. Instead, she exudes a touch of femininity and... ruthlessness between her brows.
It is obvious that the mother of this fifth sister is not Mei Yu'er, but should be one of Zhu Xuan's other wives.
Judging from Zhu Xuan's perspective, that mother was probably no ordinary woman, so it's reasonable that her daughters all have such good looks.
"Candlebud!"
Seeing that the other party had come up to her as if no one else was around, Zhu Li frowned deeply, but did not immediately lash out. Instead, she spoke to Shen Yunhao on the other side of the screen, "Yunhao... I have some things to do here. I'll call you back later!"
Shen Yunhao nodded, said goodbye, and then extinguished the white dragon lantern.
"This fifth sister... seems a bit mischievous..."
"Naughty?"
A flash of purple light appeared, and Mo Yan appeared in the room, asking curiously, "What kind of description is that?"
"I don't know, I just have a feeling that something... interesting might happen between us in the future!"
Mo Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, surprisingly not making any teasing remarks.
Having spent so much time together, if Shen Yunhao were truly interested in a certain enchantress, he certainly wouldn't have said it so directly.
Conversely, saying "interesting things" directly is very likely to be taken literally.
"Interesting! Interesting!"
...
On the other end, Zhu Li hung up the phone, and her face instantly darkened.
"Candlebud! What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Princess Zhu Lei smiled faintly and teased, "I never realized before that you liked these kinds of children, Seventh Sister..."
"What's it to you?" the little white dragon said coldly, showing no respect whatsoever. "If you have nothing else to do, sister, please leave and don't disturb my conversation with my brother!"
"younger brother?"
"Yes, so what happened to my younger brother?"
Zhu Li straightened her chest, speaking with righteous indignation.
"Alright, alright, it's you who bothered me, sister!" Zhu Lei chuckled softly. "As expected, you've forgotten your sister as soon as you've had your fun. I even brought you a gift!"
As he spoke, he took out a box the size of a fist and placed it on the table. "This is a luminous pearl sent by the clam clan. I specially selected the biggest and most beautiful one to send to you!"
"A luminous pearl? I want this..."
"My silly sister, would it be alright to give this to your little husband?"
"..."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhuli nodded, "Just leave it there!"
"Alright, alright, then I won't stay any longer and annoy people... Goodbye, goodbye!"
Zhu Lei left with a smile, and only then did Xiao Bailong get up and come to the table, looking at the exquisite gift box on it.
"Within this Dragon Palace, she should not dare to act recklessly! But..."
After hesitating for a while, Zhu Li still didn't dare to open it casually, so she took the gift box and walked out.
Not long after, they met Mei Yu'er in a temporary palace.
"What? You're saying this was a gift from Zhulei?"
Upon hearing this name, Mei Yu'er was also startled. "She dares to trespass into your bedchamber?"
"Tch!" Zhu Li said angrily. "I sent Bing'er out, and the other maids didn't dare to stop Zhu Lei. She managed to barge in so easily. She deserves to die!"
"You little rascal, really..."
Mei Yu'er covered her face and said, "It's one thing to ask your Uncle Hong to secretly protect that kid, but why did you even send out his personal maid? Is this really protecting him? It looks more like you're checking up on him..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Li blushed and lowered her head, saying, "Yun Hao... it seems he's been targeted by the Demonic Sect. He asked me to look after his family a while ago..."
"The Demonic Sect?" The beautiful woman's face darkened completely. "When did this happen? Why weren't you told me?"
"..."
The girl pursed her lips but didn't say anything.
"You silly child, how could you keep such a big thing from me? It's a good thing you haven't bothered to build up any power all these years, otherwise, would you have sent a whole legion of troops to protect that kid?"
"Of course not, but... but Yunhao went to great lengths to ask me to do something for him..."
"Is that what you call doing something? How could you possibly protect a group of mortals when facing the Demonic Sect?" Mei Yu'er sighed. "Hurry up and call Bing'er back, otherwise you won't even have a maid to serve you tea and water!"
"Yes, yes, Mother, do you remember that little clam girl I brought back from outside last time? I've already taught her... Never mind, let's not talk about that now. Mother, can you check if there's anything wrong with this luminous pearl?"
Upon opening the small box, a crystal-clear, pale green bead lay quietly inside, emitting a bluish fluorescence, which was quite beautiful.
After observing for a moment, Mei Yu'er shook her head, "This is just an ordinary luminous pearl, there's nothing wrong with it!"
"No problem? Candlelight is really that kind?"
"Don't worry, this is the North Sea Dragon Palace after all. As long as your father isn't dead, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you! However... you really can't accept what they're offering. If you want luminous pearls, I have plenty here. Just pick one and take it!"
"Hehe! Thank you, Mommy!"
Just as she returned to her bedchamber, a short figure carrying a plate walked in from outside. Upon seeing Zhuli, the figure began to babble.
"Egg Boy! Come here!"
Zhu Li waved her hand, and the little one wobbled over, carrying a plate.
At this moment, the two clam shells behind the little clam spirit had disappeared. Wearing a cute little dress, she walked with a wobbly gait, still bearing some resemblance to her former self.
Seeing the small food items on the plate, Little White Dragon couldn't help but chuckle.
"You brought me food again. Do you really think I'm like Yun Hao, that glutton..."
With his cultivation at the Void Soul Realm, why would he need to eat? It was only back in the Abyss that Shen Yunhao would often complain of being hungry and ask the little guy to find food for him.
Egg tilted its head and 'Ee!'
Zhu Li put the plate aside, then picked up the little one and sat him on her lap. "You, if you still can't learn to talk, will you be babbling to Yun Hao like this when he comes over?"
"Hmm..."
"However..." Looking at the little one's delicate face, which already showed some of the charm of a girl, Zhu Li stroked her chin and said, "No, he can't just see you whenever he wants. As long as he's a demon... he can't!"
The little clam spirit stared wide-eyed.
"babble?"
Zhu Li took a sip of tea and joked, "What did you say? I don't understand..."
"I...want...Yun...brother..."
"puff--"
