Chapter 1075: Caught off guard
As usual, it's not impossible to take Princess Anareta to a bonfire, after all, she is half of her own person, she has helped me, and she is also very close to the fairy patriarch, but she still doesn't know about the Moonlight Scepter, if she sees the Moonlight Scepter, will she reveal it to her sister?
What if the Empress cares about this scepter too?
Will the relationship between me and her change as a result?
No, I don't know about the mutation, but the scepter she must care about, after all, it is an artifact with the power of the god of creation, and it is an existence far beyond magic weapons, although I heard the fairy patriarch say that she still can't exert its true power at the moment, but that doesn't mean that she can't in the future.
For those in power, a threat is a threat, regardless of whether it is potential or present.
So, I have to be ready first.
After making up my mind, I asked Zack to accompany the little princess to the shopping street to wait for me first, and I walked slowly towards the adventurer's base, called to get money, but in fact, I quietly talked to the fairy patriarch.
After explaining everything, the fairy patriarch said that he would handle it carefully, and then I called Dewey's assistant and withdrew some gold coins from her.
I took the gold coins from the adventurer's base, put some of them in my pocket, took the remaining hundreds of gold coins in my hand, and hurried to the shopping street.
When I arrived at the butcher shop I frequented, Zach and the little princess had been waiting there for a long time, and when they saw me coming, the little princess pointed to the fine beef and mutton on the chopping board, and Xingyan said excitedly: "Buy this, An Xiaoyi, buy this, this kind of meat is delicious to roast!" β
As she spoke, Xiao Man's waist twisted excitedly, looking like a newly formed snake demon.
I approached, looked carefully at the beef and mutton on the cutting board for a while, and then pinched my chin and nodded: "It is indeed good meat." β
The boss smiled and said, "These are all high-quality beef and mutton just shipped today, how much do you want to buy?" β
"Buy more, buy more~~~" The little princess Xingyan instructed, her little waist twisted even more, I was a little worried, she didn't accidentally flash her waist.
I thought about it, determined the approximate number of people in my mind, estimated their appetite, and finally clapped my hands: "Give me twenty heads of beef and mutton like this." β
The shopkeeper's face changed, his smile froze on his face, and he maintained a stiff expression for more than ten seconds before he shook his head and said in disbelief: "Sir, can you please say it again?" You mean twenty pounds each? β
"Huh? I remember that elves have a very keen sense of hearing, so why would they get me wrong when they were so close? I frowned in distress: "Is it because my pronunciation is not clear enough?" β
So, I tried to slow down my speech, repeating word by word: "Give me twenty heads of beef and mutton like this." β
"Twenty heads of ...... each" The shopkeeper frowned slightly: "Sir, forgive me for taking the liberty of eating such a large amount of beef and mutton, can you really eat it all?" β
At this time, the little princess also hurriedly said: "Yes, An Xiaoyi, can we eat all the meat?" β
While she was in a hurry to speak, she pulled my arm hard, and she didn't bother at me, signaling that she had something to say.
I squatted down, and she whispered: "Although I have one more guest, you won't be so excited, the cattle and sheep add up to forty, I can't eat so much!" β
I'm ashamed: Don't be so narcissistic, it's going to make me feel uncomfortable.
"And," the little princess continued, "we elves are disgusted with extravagance. β
I said 'um' in response to her advice, stood up, and said to the shopkeeper: "Please give me twenty cows and sheep each, don't worry about my extravagance and waste, although I am a human race, but I still have a lot of friends in Moonlight City, only forty cows and sheep are still not a problem." β
Seeing me say this, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, guest, please tell me the address of your house, and I will ask a guy to help you deliver it." β
"No need," I refused his warm service: "It's just forty heads of beef and mutton, and this buddy and I can carry it back." β
As he spoke, he patted Zach on the shoulder, and Zach smiled and nodded in response.
The shopkeeper looked at us with questioning eyes and asked again, "Don't you really need help?" β
I thought for a moment and nodded: "If you really want to help, then help me pack these beef and mutton in bags, bundle them together, and tie them up strongly, so that we can carry them on our backs." β
"Okay, I see," the shopkeeper smiled, "Please pay the bill first, it's eighty-two gold coins in total." β
The little princess covered her mouth with her little hand on the side, and said in surprise: "It takes so much money......"
I took out my money bag, counted eighty-two gold coins, and put them in the empty gold coin box beside me, and the boss also counted them, and made sure that there was no problem with the amount, and then I told the butcher shop to prepare beef and mutton.
I was watching a few guys pack beef and mutton, and I felt that someone was pulling my arm, and I lowered my head, it was the little princess.
I saw the little princess staring at my chest with a pair of greedy eyes, and grinned: "An Xiaoyi, can I ask you a question?" β
"What's the problem?" I asked.
"What are you doing to your sister?"
"I don't have a sister."
"Didn't you?" She pursed her lips, and then instantly regained her smile: "It's okay if you don't, I want to ask you, if you have a sister, will you be good to her?" β
"Well, that's for sure."
"That'...... So will you give her your money to spend? The little princess's eyes twinkled.
I smiled slightly, "No." β
"Why?"
"There's no why," I said, "if I have a sister and she wants to spend my money, there's only one way." β
"By what way?"
"Rely on her efforts to earn pocket money from me."
"Cut, really cut," the little princess muttered quietly.
"Huh? What did you say? I leaned over and asked her.
"No, nothing," replied the little princess with a smile.
After a while, she rolled her eyes and asked me again, "An Xiaoyi, I have one more question for you." β
"Tell me, what's the problem."
"If it were your fiancΓ©e who was going to spend your money, would you give her it?"
"Isn't this nonsense" I frowned at her: "My fiancΓ©e, that's my future wife, is there a difference between my money and theirs?" β
"Ah, so that's the case" The little princess's eyes flashed, and she instantly smiled: "Xiao Yi, that ......"
Her voice instantly became too sticky, which caught me off guard and shivered: "What's the matter with you?" β
"Do you still lack a fiancΓ©e?" She twisted her waist, trying to show off her flat body: "If so, do you think I'm suitable?" β
