Chapter 13

"Oh? Mena hasn't changed her clothes yet?"

"Well, I don't know, maybe she's in the process of changing and got stuck because her butt is too big. She's struggling."

Li Yihe came back from the next suite, mysteriously carrying a few bottles of red wine that looked very old, at least according to the dates written on the bottles.

"A 17-year-old boy with nothing to do, sure enough, he will think of strange things."

"That's just a possibility. The clothes are not tailor-made."

"Adaptability is a basic ability of this clothing. How is it possible that it doesn't fit? Honestly, Mena has a great figure, but she doesn't pay attention to how she dresses."

"Is that so? Other than noticing her puffy eye bags, I didn't pay much attention."

"Hehe, is it because you've been sitting in a wheelchair for too long and your testosterone has kicked in, so your perspective on girls has changed?"

Li Yihe laughed and tapped my head, and I couldn't feel how long she had been tapping.

"If Mena hasn't put on her clothes yet, I'll go help her. I have many tricks up my sleeve!"

"Well, Yihe... Sister, you can actually have your own child, if Mena doesn't want to."

Li Yihe replied, not too lightly, as she didn't have children and then entered Mena's room, followed by a series of ups and downs of screams...

"This part is just imagination." I closed my eyes, the corners of my mouth twitching with a smile.

Gazing at the sky, flocks of sea birds flying.

Li Liu should see the words written on the mirror by now. With her around, I feel much more at ease, but I don't know how far away she is from me.

"What is her phone number again? I didn't really pay attention then... Hm? A record book... 'Bad Egg by the Seaside.' What a strange remark, but the number is similar."

In Mena's address book at home, I found a number with the remark "Bad Egg by the Seaside," surprisingly similar to the number I wanted to call, but it was an encrypted number. Without the right prompting question, I couldn't make the call.

"You even asked for her real name? Don't you think I know his name? Besides me and himself, how many people in this world remember it?"

I pressed the communication button, without enabling video calling, only using voice. The other party didn't consider for long, and the call connected. I hadn't figured out how to start the conversation, but the other party had already spoken, and their voice sounded so old.

"Long time no see, haven't received a call from this number in a while. Do you want to see your daughter, Yihe?"

"Heh! You admitted it without being asked."

"Um, who is this?"

"It's Las Guer, why so nervous?" I opened the video, face to face with the other party.

"Ma... "

"Shh~~ It's Reisgolo."

The other party is actually Pluto Las Guer, an old man who uses a lively alias like "Bad Egg by the Seaside."

"No need to worry, the current communication line is connected by the Flame Demon King's communication company. It's not so easy for humans to monitor. Forst Lord mentioned it, but I didn't expect it to be here." Pluto, this old guy, remained calm and composed, completely concealing the awkward moment just now.

"Her."

"Yes, she is Lilith's mother, but please don't mention it to Lilith unless..."

"Unless she admits it herself? It seems like she wants to leave this circle."

Pluto denied my speculation.

"I understand. She will choose to live in a different style, but she won't leave."

Pluto really understands this woman, Li Yihe just wants to change her style.

"Alright, if Lilith and Yihan don't meet, I'll keep silent. But if they do meet, it's hard to say. No matter how you look at it, they look very similar. And it's surprising that Pluto, at such an old age, still has the courage to pursue young girls."

"..." Pluto remains silent. This lifeless demeanor of his, anyone else would not dare to ask, and if Lilith were here facing Pluto, his presence would surely silence her.

"Oh well, it's fine. I already understood what I wanted to know from the first sentence you said. But I still want you to do me a small favor."

"I'm obligated to do so."

"Send someone to check if Qin Fengyu is safe in the Dragon Tomb."

Ever since my father, Qin Fengyu, went to the Dragon Tomb in The Demon Realm to extract dragon bones from the residue of dragon souls as the energy core for the new flagship aircraft carrier, it's been some time now. The carrier has been built, but he hasn't returned yet.

"I'll have someone investigate and report back immediately. And Nana, as your guardian, will also head to Mang Island right away."

"She can stay hidden and guard."

"It's been a long time since I last saw Lilith. When I heard about her being engaged to someone else, I couldn't help but wonder who you really are," Pluto admonished his woman, instructing her to take care of me. Li Yihe didn't like his tone of admonishment, so she forcibly ended the communication.

"Well..."

"Listen, Mona, you are not allowed to touch her."

"Mona-jie, I don't have any intentions, but anyone with me right now is in great danger. She is not capable of protecting herself."

"Ah ha? So you think Lilith is dangerous to have around? Do you think any mother would willingly put her daughter in danger?"

"Lilith wouldn't, who would dare to provoke the owner of the divine fire? In the academy, she always held her ground. Her magic power is on par with that of the Demon King, it's just that a newbie is no match for a veteran."

"Mona says you don't talk like a child, and she was right."

"Bones are the age of the body, but the mind retains memories longer than the physical life."

"Past life? In this era, nothing is surprising. I also want to know what my past life was, maybe I really was a tiger."

"I heard that the strategic magic of the Five Kingdoms is animal-human transformation, what are you?"

"Still the precious white tiger, maybe Lilith inherited it too."

"What? So that's why I always felt she had a bit of a cat-like aura. A sudden image floated in my mind - Lilith covered in fluffy white tiger fur, swaying her black and white tail. It must feel even better than touching a cat!"

Li Yihe stood up, suddenly remembering that Mona was still in the room changing clothes, and she needed to do her makeup for her.

"When you confront Lilith later, do you know what to do?"

"Although I don't fully agree, I will keep it confidential for now." I am currently in a dependent state and won't give a negative answer in return.

She didn't have to wait long before Mona appeared in the room. She wore a long, trailing dress with a low-cut neckline and a cinched waist, with her long hair flowing naturally. The only way to describe her makeup was with one phrase.

"Did you use foundation to erase her features and redraw them?"

"That's not right. Mona is a piece of jade that needs to be carved. Do you think all girls look presentable without makeup?"

"Um, as a woman, are you sure you can say something like that, Yihe-jie?"

"Call me auntie." Li Yihe frowned slightly, thinking that it was correct for me to call her auntie.

"Boss, is it a bit too exaggerated to wear this tomorrow when I represent the company to receive the award?"

"Tomorrow you need to perform because our company was chosen by the organizers."

Although I heard that the words "chosen" were used, why do I feel like Li Yihe did it on purpose!

"Perform? Boss, tomorrow is the awards ceremony, it's too late for song selection and rehearsal, how can it be successful?"

"Mona, do you remember the song I taught you on your first day at the company?"

"I remember, but... can it really be done?"

"Give it a try~"

Li Yihe's "give it a try" was the end of it, not giving Mona any time to consider.

"Mona-jie, maybe singing isn't the key, the key is your chance to show your face and make the audience remember you. But if you sing well, it will be even more effective."

"Mona, I, as your boss, am better than our company's manager. I won't harm you."

Two people stood on the reef group two hundred kilometers outside of Mang Island, one male and one female. The female had a pack of spicy strips in her mouth, while the male gazed at another woman happily swimming in the sea.

"Toni, why are you always staring at the sea instead of swimming with Han?"

"I've been underwater for over a decade, and I'm sick of it."

The two people on the reef are Tony, who is carrying an elongated version of a broadsword, and Pia, who loves to steal Tony's spicy snacks.

"You're tired of it, so you don't even take a bath? You smell like sweat, and your taste is so peculiar."

"What about your two brothers? They don't seem to like bathing either."

"Tony, Pia." Pinno and Pichu both arrived at the reef, each controlling their "Raku" within their respective countries to find Qin Yang. The news that Qin Yang had been found on Mang Island brought the five of them together here.

"Any news, big brother?"

"The news about Qin Yang being on Mang Island must be true, but only the Third Princess of Othrie knows the exact location. Elena is helping her. If Qin Yang and Elena meet, what should we do?"

"Pichu, do you know why Elena didn't take the old divine beings with her?" Tony asked calmly, posing a key question.

"Because the old divine beings think it's embarrassing to be attacked in the Human Realm. They need Lan Han to give them an answer, and they don't listen to Elena."

"In order to make the old divine beings continue their journey, Elena was forced to do something as well."

Tony placed the broadsword into the sea, and as the blade touched the water, the King of Rampaging Whales inside it became active.
