The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop-Chapter 313 - 20: The Elf Prince’s Wish

"I’m here." Xia Chuanyue was slightly stunned when she saw Tianmiao suddenly become serious.

"Do you want to become stronger?" Tianmiao asked.

"Yes! Always have!" Xia Chuanyue answered resolutely.

"Good, then as you wish." Tianmiao’s voice became ethereal and mysterious.

Xia Chuanyue stared blankly at Tianmiao in front of her, and suddenly, in that instant, felt that Tianmiao was very distant. Even though she was so close.

"Go back and get your luggage ready. The day after tomorrow, we’ll set off together." A smile reappeared on Tianmiao’s face as she spoke.

"Okay." Xia Chuanyue nodded, but she didn’t understand why Tianmiao was so certain they could team up.

...

Soon it was time to leave the campus for the training expedition.

Xia Chuanyue looked at the few people in front of her, her mind filled with questions.

Usually, training teams consist of more than ten people, with a teacher or an experienced student leading the team. Most of the time, it’s seasoned students with strong abilities and rich experience.

But today’s group only had the four of them. Her, Tianmiao, Camille, and Dean. Leading them was an elderly man, wearing a simple magic robe. It was hard to discern the strength of this teacher, but there was no doubt that his strength wouldn’t be weak.

"Xia Chuanyue, that’s great, we really are in a team." Camille greeted Xia Chuanyue, and the two chatted happily together.

Dean glanced at the silly smiling Camille, then at the calm Tianmiao, and he vaguely felt that the reason they were grouped together, without anyone else, was all because of Tianmiao.

"I am the teacher in charge of this expedition, my name is Bart. For the upcoming journey, I hope you..." Here, Bart looked at Tianmiao and changed what he was about to say to, "I hope we’ll all get along well. Now open the scrolls to see your destination and the content of this training task."

Xia Chuanyue opened the scroll handed to her and was stunned. The destination was the Mermaid Palace. The task was to help the Mermaid Clan solve the difficulties they were currently facing.

Xia Chuanyue found it incredible, feeling like a novice being asked to challenge the ultimate boss. Camille had the same expression after reading the scroll.

After reading, Dean instinctively looked at Tianmiao.

Yet Tianmiao didn’t even open the scroll, instead flipping through a guidebook.

Xia Chuanyue moved closer, and saw it was a detailed illustrated guide to various pearls in the ocean.

Xia Chuanyue: ...

Alright, I know what you’re planning to do.

"Let’s go, we’re setting off. From the teleportation array, we’ll head straight to Ocean City." Bart walked ahead, "For this expedition, since it’s a call for help from the Mermaid Clan, all expenses are covered by them. Including the fees for activating the teleportation array. The Mermaid Clan is very wealthy, so no need to worry about that."

"Can they also reimburse my shopping? The Mermaid Clan is supposed to be rich, right?" Tianmiao raised the guide in her hand, pointing to a pearl as large as a fist.

Bart: "... That’s a bit too big. If you choose a smaller one, they might be willing." Cold sweat dripped from Bart’s forehead. Was the dean setting him up? It felt like this expedition wasn’t going to be straightforward.

Bart led the group towards the teleportation array.

"Tianmiao, what kind of troubles do you think the Mermaid Clan is facing? Can we really solve them?" On the way, Xia Chuanyue asked Tianmiao softly.

"Of course we can." Tianmiao answered nonchalantly.

This time, it was an issue concerning the little princess of the Mermaid Clan. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
