"Huh huh~ Xiao Huaye was clearly clamoring to leave home, how could she come back so easily? Did she sneak back quietly just to be caught by me?"
"This..." Hua Ye was speechless for a moment and turned his gaze to Lin Xi.
There was no other way, Lin Xi could only accept the words: "Yes, actually I want something, so I asked Huaye..."
"Well, what is it?"
"It's Yuehu's Tianyu. Let's talk about it first. In fact, it was Hua Ye who proposed to come back and steal it." Lin Xi quickly dumped the blame.
"Hey~~~Is that so~~~?"
Ye Li turned her gaze to Hua Ye, and the little fox girl immediately turned away with a guilty conscience.
"This...isn't it because I'm afraid of being caught by Mother~"
Chapter 325 Negotiation Success
The more Hua Ye spoke, the softer her voice became.
"So, you are really having a good time outside, and you don't want to come back to see your mother?"
Ye Li showed a very sad expression.
It was supposed to be a heartwarming scene of mother and daughter recognizing each other, but for some reason, Huaye was shaking even more.
Just when the atmosphere was getting awkward, Yeli suddenly changed the topic:
"By the way, Lin Xi, you want a Tianyu, right? For the sake of helping to take care of our children, it's not impossible to give you one... But! I have some bad news to tell you, then It’s just—I don’t have Tianyu here anymore.”
"what?"
Lin Xi suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Don't be anxious. In fact, our boss took it away. He should still be keeping it with him."
"Boss?"
Hua Ye hurriedly interjected: "That's Sister Feng, she is my sister. Speaking of sister, where has she gone?"
"Of course she embarked on a journey to find a bad boy who left home without saying a word~ Because I was worried about her, I let her take the last Tianyu away."
Obviously, it refers to Huaye.
In other words, because Hua Ye ran away from home, Hua Ye's sister traveled far away to find her and took away the last Tian Jade, so Lin Xi could not get the Tian Jade now.
"Do you think it's all my fault..." The little fox girl lowered her head.
Lin Xi quickly waved her hand and comforted Huaye.
"It's okay. At worst, we can just go find your sister again."
"That's not necessary. Since Hua Ye has come back, I can just read a message to the boss and let her come back."
"Really!?" Lin Xi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Well, I just sent the message~ It's just a bit far away. It might take more than ten days to come back, right?"
"Ah this..."
It was as if someone had suddenly poured cold water on her head, and the kitten girl suddenly felt a little wilted.
Ten days.
Although in theory it doesn't matter how long the old girl is left in the subspace, if she doesn't contact her family for more than ten days, she will definitely be considered missing and her family will call the police.
When the time comes to investigate, clues about Lin Ling and Liming may be found, and things will become very troublesome.
You will also be implicated if you take it with you.
Therefore, this matter must be done as quickly as possible without any delay.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xi came up with another idea: "By the way, does anyone know where Huaye's sister is now? I can bring her back directly!"
"Yes, boss, she can fly, and she can fly super fast!" The little fox girl also agreed.
Yeli tilted his head: "How fast?"
"I flew over from Neg City more than an hour ago, and I took Hua Ye with me. I actually spent more than half an hour looking for this empty island in the forest."
"Hey~ That's really fast." Yeli held his chin with one hand and looked at the cat girl in front of him with interest, "Well then, I can tell you the location, but I have a condition..."
"As long as it's something I can do, feel free to mention it." Lin Xi nodded seriously.
Yeli tapped the table gently with her fingers, raised a sly arc at the corner of her mouth, and slowly said a condition that Lin Xi never expected:
"After I get the Tianyu, I will keep Hua Ye."
"..."
"..."
Lin Xi and the little fox girl held in Ye Li's arms opened their mouths wide and could not say a word.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
"...Why?"
"Hahahaha~ Actually, it's not a big deal. The main reason is that when I saw your face, I couldn't help but think of that guy Luluya——" Yeli laughed so hard that he couldn't tell the atmosphere just now. He was still so tense, "Ahem, it's actually nothing. Anyway, I finally got to see my daughter. Is there anything wrong with wanting her to stay?"
Lin Xi shook her head and turned her gaze in the direction of the little fox girl: "It also depends on Hua Ye's own wishes, right? If she says she is willing to stay, then I won't say anything - so what Hua Ye means is ?”
"This...I..." Huaye's fox ears trembled slightly, her small chest rose and fell, and her eyes revealed entanglement and reluctance.
Finally, after weighing for a long time, she gritted her teeth and gave her answer: "I want to go with Lin Xi! ... But Lin Xi seems to need Tianyu very much, so if it's just me who wants to stay, Then I accept it...so...my lord, please tell Lin Xi the location of her sister!"
"...Is that so?"
Yeli let out a long sigh.
"It seems that Huaye really likes you, and is willing to stay in this boring home just for you."
She gently stroked the little fox girl's head and murmured in her mouth: "I also know that our family's life remains the same and is very boring... But my mother has told you since you were young not to have casual contact with outsiders, because there are many People are eyeing us Moon Fox, it’s really too dangerous out there.”
"Well, I know, but the boss is really very strong, and she also said she would protect everyone in the store, so I believe Lin Xi!"
"I know, you kid is really... never a worry-free person." Yeli sighed again and turned his attention to Lin Xi, "You need Tianyu very much, right?"
After some hesitation, Lin Xi nodded solemnly: "...Yeah!"
"Okay, Tianyu can be given to you, and you can take Huaye away... But, at least let Huaye stay for a day before leaving? We haven't seen each other for more than a year, and it would be too lonely to leave in such a hurry."
Lin Xi didn't react to the sudden good news. She raised her right hand and asked uncertainly: "Wait a minute, wait a minute - so you agree!?"
"Yes, is it possible that you want Huaye to stay?"
Great!
Lin Xi almost jumped up from the seat with joy, but she still held it back.
"No, no, no, I also like Huaye very much. Of course I want to take her away... If it's just for one day, that's totally fine, eh."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Ye Li clasped his hands happily and stood up: "Okay, since it's almost dinner time, it's not appropriate for you to bring the boss back now. Otherwise, let's start cooking first. ? Lin Xi, can you come and help me?"
"give it to me!"
So, under the leadership of Ye Li, the three of them came to the kitchen together.
The kitchen is actually very simple. There is only a stove with a small pot hanging on it, a charcoal stove that looks like it is used for barbecue, and a large chopping board with a sharp kitchen knife inserted on the chopping board and a spice rack next to it. There seems to be only salt and ground chili pepper on it.
Seeing this kitchen, Lin Xi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Chapter 326 Strange Pepper
Although she didn't know what to do, Lin Xi obediently accepted the basket of vegetables handed over by Ye Li.
This is a vegetable that looks like cabbage. It is one of the tributes sent by the mayor just now.
What Lin Xi had to do was to break open the vegetable leaves, wash them with water in the sink, and then chop them into small pieces.
While she was washing the dishes, she asked the little fox girl who was also busy next to her: "Hua Ye, what did you eat at home before?"
"Well... most of the time it's raw fish, pickled vegetables, barbecue, grilled fish, vegetable stew with rice? These are the most common things. If you can hunt some other things, the taste can be improved a bit. Well, of course it can’t be compared to the food at the boss’s house~”
"Is that true..."
Speaking of which, the food culture in this other world is quite miserable.
Lin Xi had already experienced this matter.
Originally, she thought it might only be like this around Nege City, and it seemed that places so far away were not much better.
Of course, Lin Xi personally felt that the rice was definitely more delicious than the black and hard pancakes eaten by the common people in Negeg City.
The conversation between the two obviously attracted the attention of Ye Li, who was cutting meat next to her. While she was working, she asked without looking back: "Hey~ If you put it this way, is the food at Lin Xi's house delicious?"
"It's delicious, very delicious!" The little fox girl nodded, "The reason why I went to work in the boss's store was because I was attracted by the smell of the staff meal."
"Pfft haha~ It really looks like Huaye's style~"
……
After preparing the ingredients, Ye Li boiled the water in the pot, threw the monster meat and vegetables cut into small pieces into the pot, sprinkled a little salt, and sprinkled a little spice that Lin Xi had never seen before. , and began to stew.
At the same time, the rice on the side has been steamed, giving off a slightly sweet aroma.
In more than ten minutes, lunch was prepared and served on the stone table in the courtyard - a large bowl of vegetable and meat soup, a huge grilled fish, grilled meat cut into small pieces, and a large bowl of rice.
Maybe it’s because of the addition of rice, but surprisingly it’s not that bad.
However, a total of four portions of food were prepared instead of three.
Seemingly seeing Lin Xi's doubts, Hua Ye answered: "There are four people in our family. Besides me, there are two sisters. If the eldest sister is not at home, the second sister should be there. She should have gone hunting. , but you should be back by now?”
Lin Xi really wants to ask a question——
Where's dad?
Why only mom?
But before she could ask, she heard footsteps and a strange sound coming from a distance.
She turned around and saw a fox girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old dragging a monster that was more than three meters tall and looked like a wild boar walking towards her.
It looks like she should be the second sister Huaye talks about.
I have to say that it is quite shocking that such a loli is dragging a monster seven or eight times her size.
After dragging the wild boar monster to the open space beside the pond, she turned her gaze towards the stone table and discovered something was wrong: "Hey... Hua Ye is back?"
"Sister Xinying!" The little fox lady immediately shouted sweetly.
The girl known as Xinying immediately abandoned the wild boar and ran to Hua Ye. After confirming it several times, she shouted in surprise: "It's really Hua Ye! When did you come back!?"
"Just over an hour ago, right?"
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back~"
Xinying was about to hug her up, but suddenly caught a glimpse of her dirty little hands, and could only smile awkwardly, then noticed the white-haired cat girl next to her.
"Speaking of which, who is this?"
"I'm Lin Xi, Huaye's friend."
Lin Xi introduced herself, and listened to Ye Li and Hua Ye talking about each other, and got a rough understanding of what happened.
"Hmm... In other words, can I bring Sister Feng back in the afternoon? That would be great!... But Huaye is leaving again, I feel a bit lonely."
As she spoke, the fox ears on Xinying's head drooped.
"Don't worry about this. I'm very good at setting up teleportation magic circles. Even long distances can be reached in an instant. Then we can come and visit often!"
In fact, after Ye Li agreed to Lin Xi, she had already thought of setting up a dimensional gate here so that Hua Ye could come back at any time, which would be very convenient.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Boss, she's so awesome, even in a different life -" Hua Ye seemed to realize that she had spilled the beans, and quickly covered her mouth, then coughed slightly to ease the embarrassment, "-Anyway That portal is really powerful! You can go back and forth in no time!"
Lin Xi naturally noticed that Hua Ye spilled the beans, but she didn't take it too seriously.
After all, people here generally don’t think that there is actually more than one world.
"Eh~ Is that so?" Ye Li showed an unknown smile, "Okay, okay, let's eat first, the food is almost cold."
"Good~" x2
"I'm going to wash my hands and come back."
The four of them quickly got ready and sat down at the dining table.
Everyone except Lin Xi said "I'm starting~" and then started eating.
