Chapter 89: Fighting for favor.
Luther found out the other party's detailed information in a very short period of time.
He said slowly: "Jeffrey, lives in the city given by God, is engaged in the orb trade, and has a huge wealth."
"Before the mermaid arrived last week, his eyes were already bought by Jeffrey. This is the third pair of mermaid eyes he has collected."
"It seems to be his hobby."
Luther made no comment on this.
Yu Zhizhi was puzzled: "Then, why do you say he is troublesome?"
"That's right. Although he lives in the God-given City, he is not an orc from the Moonrise Empire. Our Paradise Guards cannot force him to trade."
Luther's tone was full of apologies: "Miss Zhizhi finally asked us for help, but we couldn't give much help."
"I heard that this nobleman has a morbid obsession with mermaid eyes."
"I guess no matter what price Miss Zhizhi offers..."
"He wouldn't even agree to the deal."
There is a high probability that you will hit a wall.
And the escorts cannot forcefully suppress them.
"It doesn't matter, I'll try." Yu Zhizhi smiled slightly.
Now that the whereabouts of the Mermaid Eye have been found out, I have to go there in person no matter what.
She also has many gems on her body, which are valuable.
Maybe the noble named Jeffrey would agree to trade with her?
If the transaction is successful, the mermaid can regain her light!
He must be very happy, right?
"Okay." Luther agreed on the phone, "Excuse me, when does Miss Zhizhi plan to go there? I will accompany you."
He was uneasy with only Louis accompanying him.
Yu Zhizhi thought for a while, "We will set off after breakfast tomorrow, okay?"
"sure."
After talking to Luther, it got dark.
Lewis had already cleaned the kitchen. He came to the living room and handed the hot milk to the little rabbit female nesting on the sofa.
"Thank you~" Yu Zhizhi took it, pulled her hair on the side of her face, and lowered her head to drink the milk.
"Are you going on a long trip tomorrow?" Louis asked softly.
Yu Zhizhi held the milk in both hands. After taking a few sips, she licked the corners of her lips: "Yes, we are going to the God-Given City."
"Yeah." Louis stood to one side, his eyes falling on the little female rabbit's lips, which were still stained with a little white stain.
Seeing Lewis staring at her, Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but wipe the corners of his mouth with his hand.
However, she wiped it in the opposite direction.
Louis couldn't help but chuckle. He slowly walked forward and squatted on one knee in front of her: "I'll do it, miss."
He held a clean white handkerchief and gently touched the little female's skin that could be broken by blows. Her ignorant and agile eyes seemed to be filled with stars.
The handkerchief gently wiped away the milk stains, and the little rabbit sat obediently. Louis only felt itchy in his heart.
This is the cutest little female he has ever encountered.
Every time I'm with her, I feel better.
In this way, he can temporarily forget the past.
Louis' movements were very gentle, Yu Zhizhi held the glass with both hands, and the warm milk warmed the palms of his hands through the glass.
"Thank you," she whispered.
The young man's dark eyes were smiling. He put one hand across his chest and bent slightly: "This is what I should do."
As a housekeeper, his duty is to take care of the little female rabbit's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The wooden house is not large, with only one room on the second floor.
There is also a place on the first floor for storing old things. After cleaning it up, Louis temporarily lives in it.
After drinking the milk, Yu Zhizhi wanted to play in the yard for a while.
She put on a white coat and a scarf, and just opened the door when a gust of cold wind hit her, making her feel extremely cool.
Louis followed her. There was still snow falling at the moment. He held up an umbrella to cover the little female.
The yard was square, and after Louis' care, most of the weeds had been removed. He also scattered the seeds of winter cinnamon, and soon the garden would be full of life.
It was dark outside, with only a few small lights hanging at the door.
Next door is the residence of Guardsman Luther, and it's dark. He hasn't returned yet.
Yu Zhizhi squatted down, held a handful of snow with both hands, and gently held it into a small snowball.
There was a cute smile on the girl's face. She stood up, spread her palms, and showed Louis her results.
Louis smiled. He took the "gift" from the little female, the cold snowball, and held it just enough to suppress the boiling blood in his body. He's a bit evil.
Deliberately turning the umbrella, the snowflakes fell down and got into Yu Zhizhi's neck. She couldn't help but laugh.
In the bathroom.
The mermaid heard the silver bell-like laughter of the little female coming from outside. She seemed very happy.
The scent of jasmine is so light that you can barely smell it.
And that male aura that made him feel sick to his stomach was so clear.
The young man pursed his thin lips tightly, and his light blue fish tail lifted up, then dropped heavily.
"Crash-"
There was a constant flow of water in the bathroom.
Yu Zhizhi was stunned. She threw the snowball away and walked toward the house without looking back.
Louis closed his umbrella calmly.
As he stepped onto the steps, he glanced at the bathroom window displeasedly——
There lay a dead fish.
I know how to compete for favor every day.
When Yu Zhizhi heard the sound of water, she immediately returned to the bathroom. She saw water spilled all over the floor and asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
Yossen didn't feel uncomfortable.
He just didn't want to see the little female rabbit clan playing around with that guy.
The mermaid was silent for a moment. He turned his head slightly and said in a weak voice: "...I am sick."
"Need you to take care of me."
So, stay. Keep looking at him.
Just look at him.
…
Valoran Empire.
It's quiet at night.
The Duke's carriage stopped in front of the promenade.
The night wind blows the blue leaves, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance. The lanterns were hung high, and apart from the rustling of leaves, there was the occasional sound of turning pages in the carriage.
Personal servants stood by.
In the car, you can hear the sound of scrolls being turned over, and the Duke is still reviewing the secret papers. The servant rubbed his palms, not knowing how to speak.
"Lord Bolan." After thinking for a long time, the personal servant whispered:
"The day for the six snake cubs to hatch out of their shells is coming soon. Will your lord attend on that day?"
According to the custom of the beast world, when the beast cubs hatch out of their shells, their close relatives will pray for them.
Miss Zhizhi is not here. As a father, it would be very good if the Duke is willing to go.
The six snake cubs are the treasures of the entire Duke's Palace. They are carefully cared for every day, and the clan leaders also cherish them very much.
They are all looking forward to the test on the day they break out of their shells.
If the snake cub can perfectly inherit the Duke’s powerful abilities, it will be a strong guarantee for the entire snake clan——
At least for a hundred years, there is no need to worry about the demise of the family.
that is……
The Duke paid no attention to the snake cubs.
These days, I have never even taken a look.
"Let the patriarchs go." A faint voice came from the carriage.
"yes."
Just when the servant was about to pull the carriage back to the courtyard where the Duke had recently stayed, he heard the person sitting in the carriage suddenly say: "Go to the study room."
The servant was surprised.
Since Miss Zhizhi left, Master Bolan has never been to the bookstore again.
Could it be that there is news about her?
