Free Web NovelChapter 708: Chapter 300: I Can Help You Take Care of the Kids
Celestia watched Ma Liu bustling in the kitchen, filled with envy, all for a taste of that food, even willing to do something small with relish.
Previously, she talked to Simmons about Brother Li’s current situation, finding it a bit austere, Simmons was unusually emotional, but whenever asked, he wouldn’t say much. Could this be it?
"How much did you pay him?" Celestia asked curiously.
"Talking about money could harm feelings, providing food and lodging should be enough." Li Xin laughed.
Celestia licked her lips, she was tempted too.
Although he no longer stuttered, Ma Liu still didn’t like talking to strangers much, just nodding to the two of them before tidying up the dining table and serving the dessert.
Celestia looked at the dessert, then at Li Xin, and once more at that mysterious gourmet elder, what kind of heavenly day was this?
The two desserts were stuffed into Estella and Celestia’s already full stomachs... not a crumb was left.
"Oh no, oh no, how will I eat anything else in the future, I have to come back tomorrow." Celestia said.
"Okay, I’ll have Ma Liu prepare some more ingredients." Li Xin laughed, "If you have any trouble while doing business in Dragon Capital, let me know, I may not handle big matters, but small issues can be managed."
After all, Simmons specifically requested, he couldn’t neglect it.
"You really are modest!" Celestia pursed her lips; if she wasn’t incapable of defeating him, she’d wish to take a jab at him.
"Dragon Capital has been a tumultuous place lately, it’s still best to act cautiously." Li Xin advised.
"Brother Li, we know, the Grand Elder of the Hundred Martial Hall offended you and got wiped out by you," Celestia said, they always had intelligence, even at sea there’s a messenger to deliver information, the George Family handles this, news at the level of the Hundred Martial Hall’s Grand Elder would definitely be obtained.
"I won’t take the blame for that, he was taken out by the Song of Hell." Li Xin waved his hand, he didn’t want to escalate the conflict.
"Song of Hell?" Estella asked.
"Several singers of the Song of Hell are in Dragon Capital right now, the ones who’ve already taken action include the Slave Master and the Nun, Hua Qianzhan might very likely have been killed by the Nun. Even though Hua Qianzhan was redundant, he was a Bent Angel, to die so quietly, without any leads found by the Secret Organization, only the Nun could have had this capability. I am currently searching for traces of the singers."
"Celestia, the Song of Hell is also our enemy, check with the intelligence personnel in Dragon Capital," Estella said, although her mother is Oliver, the direct murderer of Ola the Eighteenth was indeed the Song of Hell.
"Alright!" Celestia nodded seriously.
"You must be careful, they’re both angels, one is a seductive woman, the other a puppet master."
Celestia’s big eyes blinked, feeling that she had unconsciously been pretending.
"I heard there’s something new about the Chronicles of Utopia Mountain?" Estella asked.
"Yes, yes, the new one you published, why is there so little, it’s hard to get a hold of, what’s next?" Celestia couldn’t help but ask, it was most torturous near Dragon Capital, thanks to the serials sent by Chris from the Freedom Daily could she endure the solitude.
"Wait a moment." Li Xin went back to the bedroom, fetched a bound volume, and handed it to Estella, "Here’s the complete manuscript."
"Thank you."
"Hey, hey, where’s mine?" Celestia widened her eyes, incredulous that Li Xin could be so partial to the opposite sex.
"Wait for Ella to finish, and then you can read, or you two could read it together," Li Xin said.
Celestia was practically fuming, men are stupid, how could a girl share such a gift, the princess would definitely keep it, stupid.
"No sincerity at all, I don’t want to read it anyway, nothing interesting!"
Seeing Estella had already treasured it in the Yazama Karashi, Celestia could only pretend to be unconcerned, "I’ll go chat with your cook, see if I can win him over to my side."
Celestia found an excuse to leave, Li Xin watched Estella, even in male form, she had an air of elegance.
"There’s a good spot upstairs."
The second-floor balcony, sipping warm tea, the chill instead became refreshing.
"Miss Aries, what brings you to Dragon Capital this time?" Li Xin asked.
"Grew up in Hedan, never been anywhere else, always wanted to look around, this time I slipped out by the opportunity, Dragon Capital is where Hex-Tech is most advanced, came to see," Estella said.
"Isn’t it disappointing?" Li Xin laughed, "The environment here can’t compare to Hedan, I sometimes miss the life in Hedan."
Warm, moist, lazy, sipping little wines, shooting the breeze, how nice.
"The environment is much worse than Hedan, but I feel like there’s hope everywhere."
"Hope?" Li Xin looked at Estella curiously.
"Yes, upon reaching the port, I saw a scene even more prosperous than Hedan, and the various strange Hex-Tech machines, these greatly aid and convenience the daily lives of common people, considering the special circumstances of the Li Long Kingdom, Hex-Tech is indeed fitting, even though busy, people have a different look in their eyes, they are filled with their own anticipation for the future."
"Indeed, Dragon Capital faces many issues, yet ultimately it’s a change, do you usually reside across the street?" Li Xin didn’t delve deeper, actually, ordinary life in Dragon Capital is not very good, possibly worse even than Hedan, however, compared to past Li Long, it has changed somewhat, this living convenience while internally, Dragon Capital has undergone considerable transformation, the spirit of the people is continually being liberated, with the development of productivity, material life is bound to improve, social order will also change, this is the trend of historical development.
Of course, these are not immediate, past life experiences allow him to see further ahead, Miss Aries can possess such keen insights, impressive.
"Celestia has family matters to handle, not convenient for me to follow," Estella looked at Li Xin, hesitated for a bit, "So, for now, I’ll stay across the street."
"Won’t it be unsafe, wouldn’t the Celestial Principle School be better?" Li Xin suggested.
Estella shook her head, "If I went to the Celestial Principle School, too many eyes, and my identity could be exposed. With Chris and Keli present, there’s nothing to worry about, it’s just Celestia later will be a bit occupied, I can’t cook."
Chris stood at the edge of the balcony, proudly looking outside, the Sun Golden Feathered Eagle always had an imposing feeling over all things in the world.
"That’s simple, breakfast, lunch, and dinner can be resolved at my place."
"Would it be a bother to you?"
"You’re being courteous again, aren’t you? Welcome to trouble me, whatever you wish to eat, let Ma Liu know. Compared to Dragon Capital’s cuisine, Hedan’s dishes he’s more adept at, here you’ll feel like at home." Li Xin said generously.
Estella smiled tenderly, heartwarming, feeling at home, does that mean family?
It was very cold, the heart was very warm.
Luckily the costume hid her subtle expressions.
"Why is a Gourmet Association elder here?" Estella couldn’t resist her curiosity; once before when Father hosted a birthday for Mother, he had the Gourmet Association organize it, it cost a lot, and afterwards, he could never invite them again, those in such hidden forces had many demands.
"I’m half a mentor to him." Looking at Estella’s curious appearance, Li Xin couldn’t resist boasting a little.
Estella covered her mouth in surprise, indeed worthy of Mr. Gemini.
Seeing Estella’s admiring gaze, Li Xin’s face also turned red; she actually believed it.
Estella and Li Xin were chatting until Celestia called her down; Celestia looked at Estella with eyes as if saying if not called, a child would soon be born.
Returning to the opposite house, Celestia checked again, seeing Estella’s joyful eyebrows, "Really not staying at the Celestial Academy?"
"Not going."
Estella asserted firmly, even though preemptively acting worked, her brother the King still ordered her to stay at the Celestial Academy, not to expose her identity, not to act rashly, her every word and action representing Moncalleta couldn’t be casually expressed, now that she had slipped out, she naturally had to be thorough.
"You go manage your affairs, I can take care of myself," Estella said, since coming here, Celestia had been revolving around her matters, this time the George Family taking over the Zheng Family’s channels in Dragon Capital probably had a bunch of troubles to sort out.
"I’ll tidy up this side first then." Celestia nodded, "I’ll handle it quickly, then accompany you to tease Li Xin properly, this guy’s like a block of wood, it’s good to stay here, I think you did great today, just go straight with him, if you two have a kid, I could help take care."
The front part was very serious, the latter part became non-serious, the two girls played around for a bit, the overthinking Estella also relaxed.
Celestia was right, just go, the rest will follow suit, just liking Celestia’s always energetic, heedless spirit.
