Chapter 69: Princess Xinglu
The matters concerning Li Qing and the heroes have temporarily come to an end.
Upon hearing the news of Lonis and Elus’s visit, Princess Xing, the administrator of Nile Port, showed great interest in the arrival of the girls. She sent out invitations to everyone, welcoming them to visit the palace at any time.
…
“Mm, that’s how things are. Princess Xing said that as long as everyone is willing, they can come to visit at any time.”
“That’s really very kind of her. But Senior Zhisheng Luo, does Princess Xing have no more matters to attend to?”
Elus smiled, asking Zhisheng Luo with curiosity.
Lonis also hadn’t forgotten that when they arrived at the Vast Sea, Princess Xing had a strange tumor growing beneath her body.
It was a curse from the Vast Sea, causing Princess Xing’s personality to become somewhat biased and irritable, even replacing her maids with young and beautiful girls.
Now, Zhisheng Luo just sighed and said:
“It can be said that she’s better, but it can also be said that… she’s not really better.”
“Oh?”
“Although Princess Xinglu’s personality seems much calmer and more normal compared to when the curse was acting up, because she experienced that special feeling, her behavior seems to be somewhat irreversible.”
“Is she taking more initiative now?”
“Yes… Princess Xinglu often disguises herself, dressing as a man to flirt with young girls in various taverns. It’s now popular in the city to have an urban legend about a yokai taking human form to flirt with others’ love interests.”
“Oh, isn’t that talking about me? Recently, I’ve also been to taverns to flirt with cute young girls. Could I have been mistaken as well?”
The Eight-tailed Fox shook her large tail, seemingly feeling a bit of camaraderie with Princess Xinglu.
However…
“Eight-tailed Fox, it’s not just simple flirting! Here we have a tradition of one husband with multiple wives or one wife with multiple husbands, and the subsequent wives are called concubines. So, it seems Princess Xinglu is serious about starting a harem in Nile Port.”
“Huh?!”
“I think, she might have some indescribable intentions in inviting us. After all, both Elus and Junior Lonis are great beauties… Even if Princess Xinglu knows some boundaries, this evening party must have some scheme, right?”
Zhisheng Luo, having grown up with Princess Xinglu, knew her personality and plans inside out.
Hearing Zhisheng Luo’s words, Elus nodded: “In that case… we need to visit even more.”
“Huh… Junior?”
“Because I haven’t started a harem yet, how could Princess Xing be allowed to start one? So, idiot harem concubine Lonis number one, quickly come with me to attend the banquet.”
“Woo woo woo! (This nickname is too excessive!)”
……
However, no matter what, the girls participated in the banquet Princess Xing held that night.
Compared to when they first arrived in Nile Port and were ignored, the treatment the girls received in Nile Port now was clearly much more grand.
Not only were they invited to the high platform in the hall, enjoying a delicious dinner, but below the platform, many beautiful girls were dressed in pretty outfits, singing and dancing to charming melodies.
And as the “host,” Princess Xing was also dressed splendidly, with delicate makeup on her cheeks, greeting them almost as soon as they met:
“Several heroes who saved Nile Port, you must have worked hard. Please allow me, on behalf of all the residents of Nile Port, to express our highest respect to you.”
“You’re welcome, it’s what we should do. After all, the journey to save the world is also about saving ourselves.”
“Hero Elus, you are truly as modest and intelligent as the rumors say. Mm… however, the leader of the group, Hero Lonis, didn’t come today?”
Princess Xing looked around, as if searching for Lonis’s traces.
Hearing this, Lonis blushed and wanted to hide in a crack in the ground… she had turned into such a cute little loli now, how could she admit her identity?
After all, when she met Princess Xing back then, she had directly summoned 5 Hong Yuan weapons and scared the other party stiff!
And now…
It would be good if she wasn’t mistaken as a kindergarten kid!
“Mm, Hero Lonis is currently slightly unwell, so she can only attend the banquet in this form.”
“This form, could it be…”
Princess Xing widened her eyes, looking in astonishment at the white-haired little loli only as tall as her waist.
Whether it was those big eyes or those petite legs—everything was so cute, just like a small animal, utterly lovable.
“Woo woo, woo woo! (Good evening, Princess Xing.)”
Because it would be rude not to respond when being stared at, Lonis could only respond with woo woos, but after speaking in woo woo language, Lonis felt even more embarrassed.
And Princess Xing, as if understanding something, exclaimed in surprise:
“Could it be… Hero Lonis, during your deep dive into the Vast Sea, encountered a curse? Did your age reverse, turning you into a little loli?”
“Although the situation is somewhat similar, it’s not a curse but a blessing.”
“A blessing…”
“Yes, because Hero Lonis saved the world, she received a gift from the Sun Loli Goddess Alice, temporarily turning her into a little loli. She has also lost the ability to speak and can only make woo woo sounds.”
Elus’s explanation made Lonis’s cheeks redder—Elus could really spin a tale, turning the matter of teasing her so seriously.
However, hearing this, Princess Xinglu was stunned:
“Sun Goddess Alice… could it be that you’ve met the Sun Loli Goddess Alice?”
“Woo woo… (Yes…)”
Lonis slightly nodded her head; in fact, not only had they met, but she had also slept with Alice during yesterday’s nap.
Although to ordinary people, Alice might seem a lofty and mysterious existence, only her companions knew that she was just a little loli who loved peace and sleep.
Hearing Lonis’s response, Princess Xinglu was overjoyed.
She took Lonis’s hand and earnestly asked:
“Princess Lonis, since you can meet Alice… there is one thing, could you please help me to complete it?”
“Woo ah? (What thing?)”
“Yes, actually our ancestors once buried a very precious treasure in this sea.
But because so much time has passed, now no one knows what that treasure is or where it is.”
“Woo?”
“And Princess Lonis, since you have received the loli’s blessing, you must also have the chance. To learn from Princess Alice the location of the treasure… could you please help me? Of course, I will reward you handsomely!”
Princess Xinglu nodded, and a glimmer of hope shone in her eyes.
