Chapter 213 Interstellar Beauty (12)
Having roughly figured out the ins and outs, Long Ziling was also getting tired of these insatiable women.
Because women are generally weaker and are mostly the main force in alchemy, weapon forging, and extraction, and because women are healthier, they are more likely to conceive, so people with superpowers are generally more tolerant of women.
But the thought that these women were arguing about something that made him forget his worries filled Long Ziling with indescribable irritation and disgust.
"These are the private ingredients of our Sixth Combat Team members. There's no reason for outsiders to eat them. Eat if you want, or get out if you don't!" Long Ziling said bluntly.
"Long Ziling, how dare you speak to me like that? I am a esteemed alchemist, and a level three one at that!" Lian'er, dressed in white, said angrily as she saw things were getting out of control.
"Are level three alchemists really that powerful?" Wangyou felt that to see the excitement, one should go to the scene. So she put vegetables and meat in the bowl and carried it out.
"It's you!" Xie Yunlian exclaimed in disbelief upon seeing Wangyou.
"It's me. I want to eat conch meat, but alas, it's all mine." Wangyou held up a piece of conch meat in front of Xie Yunlian, then fed it directly to herself.
"You..." Xie Yunlian wanted to get angry, but she didn't dare. She wasn't married yet, and even if she were, she couldn't completely sever ties with her family. The Xie Wangyou in front of her was someone the clan elders had repeatedly warned her not to mess with.
"If you want good ingredients, find them yourself. I found them myself. Don't keep staring at the meat in other people's bowls, because it won't be yours no matter how much you look." Seeing that the person dared not speak out, Wangyou lost interest in teasing him.
"You're absolutely right!" Xie Yunlian said, enunciating each word clearly, but with her eyes lowered, no one could tell what she was thinking.
"Lian'er is just someone who appeared out of nowhere... mmm..."
"My friend is being unreasonable, I'm leaving now." Xie Yunlian covered the mouth of the girl next to her and dragged her away.
"Women aren't as delicate as you all say. Just look at the strength she's using to drag someone!" Wangyou said to Long Ziling, watching Xie Yunlian's series of actions.
Long Ziling couldn't answer this question. "You should go back and eat quickly, or your food will get cold."
"Oh!" The protagonist who had created the commotion was gone, and Wangyou didn't bother to investigate further. She went straight back to her tent to continue eating.
Xie Tao rushed over, but the farce was already over; clearly, he was too late.
After thinking it over, Xie Tao decided to go to Wangyou's house to apologize and gave her a box of spiritual plants, two boxes of unextracted energy stones, and some food.
Why not take something that's given away for free? He himself said it was an apology.
"Long Ziling, are there any sea cucumbers in this sea?"
"Yes, but they're very small and don't have much nutritional value. Would you like to eat that?"
"I've finished the plant-based melon seeds I brought. I want to try sea melon seeds. Tomorrow, let the mechs go into the sea and scoop up a netful for me."
"Alright, but the hunting team also got some sea snails online. I'll have Xiao Liu make them for you tomorrow. What flavor would you like?"
"Salt and pepper flavor is fine."
"Okay, I'll tell Xiao Liu later."
"Okay, I'm fine now. You can go now, I need to rest."
"Isn't this a case of discarding a useful tool after it has served its purpose?" Standing at the door, Long Ziling muttered to himself.
"Hey, Ziling, you haven't fallen for her, have you?" Chopin asked jokingly, noticing the look in Long Ziling's eyes.
"Is it not allowed?" Long Ziling didn't hide it and admitted it frankly.
“To be honest, I don’t think you’re good enough for her,” Chopin said very frankly.
Why do you think that?
“Although you are a member of the royal family, you are not as good as her in some aspects. Look at the energy stones she casually takes out; they are better than the ones we have in our pockets. She goes out with a mecha and doesn’t need any protection at all. She eats only high-grade ingredients. I estimate that she can refine spiritual herbs, but she is too lazy to do so. In short, it seems that you are useless.” Xiao Bang summarized carefully and couldn’t find any reason to be a good match.
Long Ziling thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. Wangyou didn't need a man by her side at all, but he didn't really want to give up. So he punched Xiao Bang, put on his hat, and left.
Chopin glanced at Long Ziling's retreating figure, then at the direction of the Forget-Me-Not tent, and sighed. "Brother, this road to winning back Xie Wangyou won't be easy. Unless Xie Wangyou is love-struck, but judging from her way of doing things, she doesn't seem like it."
In the following days, the hunting team was busy hunting, while Wangyou would sometimes wander around and sometimes gather supplies to store in her space.
That day, Wangyou sat down by the sea to fish with a fishing rod, and then she remembered the golden koi that she had thrown into her space.
Wangyou closed her eyes, her consciousness entered the space, and she quickly found the golden koi swimming in the sea. She summoned it over and saw that it was, well, it was adorably silly. As soon as it saw Wangyou, it kept blowing colorful bubbles.
This golden koi has developed intelligence and its every move is very human-like, but perhaps because it has always lived in the deep sea, it is very simple-minded. When Wangyou talked to it, she found that it didn't know where it came from either.
Because humans often hunt prey on the sea, the golden koi hides itself very well, fearing that it might lose its life if it is not careful. This is a golden koi that cherishes its life very much.
Wangyou didn't get any useful information from Jin Jinli, so she put her back into the sea. Then Wangyou took another look at the soul beast egg. Goodness, she could feel its life force, but it just wouldn't hatch.
Wangyou simply fished it out of the Soul Lake and threw it into the sea, letting it drift away slowly in the water.
"Forget-me-not, forget-me-not, wake up." Forget-me-not was woken up. Her consciousness withdrew from the space and looked at the person who came. It turned out to be Xie Tao.
"What do you want?"
"I heard you like sea snails, so our hunting team caught some and brought them to you." Xie Tao decided to take things slowly for now.
"No need, I can't accept something for nothing." Wangyou frowned; she had a ton of stuff in her spatial storage, you know.
"I did this voluntarily, as a token of my appreciation, and I also heard that you specialize in alchemy, so these spiritual plants are for you to practice with."
"Xie Tao, I know what your Xie family's purpose is in contacting me, but it's really unnecessary. The Xie family's Dragon Token hasn't appeared for over four thousand years, which means there's no need for it to reappear." Wangyou felt it was better to make things clear.
“But you have appeared, and with the Dragon Token at that. Ancient records state that each generation of Dragon Token holders leads the Xie family to new heights. Your appearance at this time is even more important.”
“You are one of the candidates for the head of the Xie family.”
"Yes!"
"Then you should know that if I go back, I will be the head of the Xie family."
"As long as the Xie family can become better, it doesn't matter whether I become the head of the family or not. The others think the same way," Xie Tao said firmly.
Judging from Xie Tao's expression, Wangyou knew that the Xie family must have held a serious family meeting before coming.
Have you seen the Xie family precepts in the ancestral hall?
"I've seen it."
“You probably didn’t read it all. There’s a hidden meaning in the Xie family’s precepts. Go back and take another look. If you can figure it out, I wouldn’t mind giving you a chance.” Wangyou said, scattering some fish food into the water.
Xie Tao didn't quite understand, but he knew the meaning of the word "opportunity," and he couldn't care less why Wang You knew so much.
