Chapter 809: Not for the Sake of Watching a Show, but because I Miss You
Feng Ying bit into the huge skewers. She was either hunting or on the way to the hunting grounds these days. She ate dry food every day. It was rare for Master Gordon to treat her, so she had to make up for her stomach.
An Xier held the letter in his hand, which was so short that it was inexplicably sent in two parts, and fell into deep thought.
"A letter from your family?" Gordon took the freshly grilled giant shrimp from the claws of the cat kitchen owner and asked An Xier curiously, but did not go over to read it directly. After all, it was a private letter.
"Yeah." An Xier threw the letter to his companions indifferently.
Gordon snatched it and glanced at it. It was not even a letter. It was basically two notes. The first one said-[Miss Xixi has arrived. We will treat her well. ]
The signer was Jessica, An Xier's sister.
"Huh? Has Xixi completed her metamorphosis? I thought she would have to wait until at least next month." Hayata said in surprise.
Feng Ying, who was eating, also raised her head, "Xu Xi is here?!"
Gordon picked up the second note - [Mother said you don't have to come back, Xi Xi is her daughter from now on, don't have any bad thoughts. ]
Gordon looked at An Xier with an expression that said, "Is there something wrong with my ability to understand text?"
An Xier spread his hands, indicating that he didn't understand it either.
Feng Ying put down the food in her hand, "Isn't it obvious? Your mother saw that Xi Xi was super cute and she disliked you."
"Is it that serious?" Gordon picked up the food again. His impression of Xi Xi was still on the weird insect pupa man who spoke in a gibberish.
"I did emphasize to her that she should become like a human before coming to the mainland, otherwise I'm afraid that her appearance would cause trouble." Seeing a cloud sheep deer passing by the kebab stall, An Xier stuffed the letter into its mouth.
"The appearance of the spider itself should be quite cute." Hayata said on the side.
"How do you know?" Gordon asked casually.
It was Feng Ying who answered Gordon's question first, "Intuition! Girls' intuition! I think the spider must be a super beautiful girl!"
Hayata smiled and said, "When we were chatting, Qiancao told me that the Spider is very popular in the Alchemy Academy."
"Well, this statement is much more credible."
An Xier didn't care. Popular? Gale was also very popular in the hunter training camp, so what?
"So, let's go back to Dongdoruma to take a look! I haven't seen the appearance of the Spider after it has emerged!" Feng Ying wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said excitedly.
Gordon shrugged, "I don't care, anyway, there is nothing important right now."
An Xier was more resistant. He always felt that he would encounter some troubles after returning.
"I don't think it's necessary to go back. Although my mother is... well, with Jessica here, Xixi should be well taken care of. It's a bit of a waste of time to go back to Dondoruma just to see her."
"One vote in favor, one abstention, and one vote against." Gordon looked at Hayata, "The decision is in your hands."
Hayata smiled and said, "Then go back. It's not because I want to watch a show, I just miss Xixi a little bit."
Ansel's expression was a little stiff.
"Hahaha!" Gordon patted Ansel's shoulder hard, "Then let's go back!"
Since both are important air traffic hubs in the Old World, there are many flights between Berna Village and Dondoruma.
Gordon and his party set off excitedly.
Of course, Ansel was not among the excited people.
After the airship arrived in Dondoruma, they originally planned to go directly to the Sterling family mansion, but Ansel insisted to go to the Chamber of Commerce to find Jessica first.
He had to find his sister first to understand the situation, such as what happened to his mother.
With the young master leading the way, the group naturally had no obstacles in the Chamber of Commerce. They came to the door of Jessica's office. An Xier knocked on the door and heard "Come in." Then he pushed the door open and walked in.
Behind the imposing desk, Jessica looked up. When she saw who was coming, she was a little surprised, and then there was a hint of mischief in her eyes, "You came back so soon? No wonder, after all, Xixi is so cute."
An Xier rolled his eyes and pointed at the people behind him, "They dragged me back, so what's the matter with the two letters?"
"It means literally that my mother likes that little girl very much."
Jessica put down the documents and feather pen she was processing, "She said that we were too unlovable when we were teenagers, and she wanted to make up for that time with Xixi.
But it is true that I ran away from home when I was fifteen or sixteen and went to work as an accountant in the Chamber of Commerce below. When you were fifteen or sixteen, you insisted on joining the training camp as a hunter, and then basically never went home.
Compared to us at that time, Xixi is indeed more lovely."
"." An Xier opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to refute, but felt that he could not refute anything. He and Jessica were not good children in their teenage years.
But from the perspective of Xixi's family, it seems the same?
After a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "So, now mother is raising Xixi like a doll, changing clothes and playing with it every day?"
It always feels easy to imagine that kind of scene.
Jessica chuckled, "Not really, to be precise, it was like this on the first day after Xixi arrived, but after a while Xixi couldn't stand it anymore and said she wanted to go out and take a look.
Now mother will smile and say "OK~" to whatever Xixi says. The two of them have been wandering around together in recent days, saying that they want to walk every alley in East Doruma first."
An Xier didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Don't worry, although mother likes Xixi, she is not a person who doesn't know her limits. Xixi is also very sensible." Jessica paused and a gleam of light suddenly flashed in her eyes.
"By the way, Xixi also brought a huge package of forest specialties, saying that her family prepared her travel expenses. In order to thank us for our hospitality, she gave us all the specialties.
After sorting and identification, do you know the value of that pile of specialties?
Two hundred and ten thousand z, this is only two-thirds of it. We don't know the other one-third of the things, don't know the function, and can't estimate the value.
My father and I agree that we should increase contact and trade with the residents of the forest. The biological resources of Batubatom Forest are so rich that it is unimaginable. This is a huge business opportunity."
"Stop!" Anxier made a pause gesture, "You can decide on business matters. I'm not interested. Just don't go too far in your approach. Xixi will be caught in the middle and feel uncomfortable."
"Oh?" Jesse raised his eyes, "Are you distressed?"
"This is the basic respect for the lifesaver." Anxier responded with a straight face.
"Whatever you say." Jessica waved her hand, "But don't worry, the purpose of our chamber of commerce has always been to 'make money together', and we won't become vampires."
"That would be the best."
"Oh, by the way, there is something you may care about." Jessica's face showed a smile of watching a good show.
Behind Anxier, Gordon and the other two who had never spoken twisted their mouths.
Anxier and his sister looked about 60% similar, and when this smile came out, the similarity suddenly soared to the level of looking in the mirror.
"What?" Anxier had a bad premonition.
"Xuxi said this morning that she was curious about the Hunter's Guild, so my mother planned to take her to visit the Popular Tavern at noon.
Does your 'pen pal' work there?"
The humans in the Ps.mh world are not the masters of nature. Since there are monsters everywhere in the wild, business should be quite primitive.
The trade with the inhabitants of the forest should be limited to the level of caravan exchanges and mutual exchange of what they have (a beggar's version of the Silk Road?). Don't imagine it as European colonists wreaking havoc in America. This world does not have that kind of manpower.
