Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1557 - 350. The Sea Goddess’s Lotus Maiden (Third Watch)_2

Xia Zheng suddenly leaned closer to the Crown Prince of Xiliang, squinted his eyes in a gossipy manner, and said chummily, "No wonder everyone says that the Crown Prince of Xiliang is indifferent to women; turns out, his heart is occupied by a beauty who loves to primp! Haha."

Su Tianrui was indeed Xia Zheng’s childhood companion who grew up with him like two peas in a pod. Hearing Xia Zheng’s words, he immediately slapped the table and laughed excitedly.

"More than that, I think the Crown Prince’s body is just like a woman’s! Just look at this flashy attire. Which normal man would dress like this? Haha!"

Being maligned like this, He Lienuo’s face immediately turned sour, but before he could react, Su Tianrui already leaned in, staring at him with big eyes filled with expectant curiosity.

He Lienuo blinked and subconsciously leaned back a bit, always feeling that this Su Tianrui was up to no good.

Indeed, Su Tianrui sighed in feigned regret, "Oh dear, why aren’t you angry? I was waiting for you to get angry! Only women throw a fit over a few words. Really now, why aren’t you getting angry?"

Lin Yuan covered her lips with a handkerchief and chuckled. This Su Tianrui was indeed a character, swiftly retorting and deflating the about-to-explode He Lienuo.

If he really got angry, he would be exactly like the ’woman’ Su Tianrui described; of course, he wouldn’t want to be treated as a woman!

After suppressing his anger again and again, he finally managed to swallow his rage.

Lin Yuan cleared her throat and deftly changed the subject, looking curiously at the black pearls embroidered on his boots, "Crown Prince, these black pearls on your boots are quite rare; they seem to be sea pearls, aren’t they?"

Freshwater pearls rarely produced pure black pearls, hence Lin Yuan was certain these were sea pearls.

Given a way out, He Lienuo was naturally more than happy to follow along.

He put away the small mirror back into his pouch and secured it properly to his attire. This was found on the battlefield by his Servant, and he had to study it well later on; he couldn’t afford to lose it.

After safely stowing away the small mirror, He Lienuo gave Lin Yuan a look that said, "You’ve got a good eye," and leisurely fanned himself with his Ink jade bone fan, his voice filling with a hint of pride.

"Miss Lin indeed has a sharp eye. These black pearls are indeed sea pearls. I bought them from a village girl during my visit to Dongling."

Black pearls are exceedingly rare, and it’s said that the Black Shells able to cultivate black pearls are also scarce. They don’t necessarily grow in deep locations, but they are found in places that are not easily discovered.

So, Lin Yuan thought that these black pearls might have been found by some experienced fisherman, but it turned out to be a young girl.

"A young girl? Did she harvest these pearls all by herself? Shouldn’t it be her family that collected them?"

After pondering, Lin Yuan still felt it was unreal for a young girl to find so many black pearls.

He Lian’s lips curled up, his eyes sparkling as if reminiscing about the girl who sold him the black pearls.

Her indifferent demeanor, along with her clever and sharp eyes, left a deep impression on him.

"Tsk, tsk. That girl, quite interesting. I heard she was a landlubber before, but somehow, after nearly drowning in the sea, she suddenly learned how to swim! Not only that, but she also often finds good things that others can’t, like pink pearls, black pearls, and such."

He Lian chuckled, clearly intrigued by the girl: "Originally her family was the poorest in the village, but in an instant, they became the wealthiest. The local people say she has been blessed by the Sea Goddess, a lotus nymph in her service, a lucky star who brought them good fortune!"

In Dongling, with its coastal proximity, almost half of the citizens depend on the sea for their livelihood. Thus, a girl who can’t swim naturally catches more attention, no wonder people talked about her in such a way.

Lin Yuan loved the sea in her past life, but it was a pity she never had the chance to visit the beach due to her busy work schedule.

However, currently, for some reason, compared to the soul-stirring sea, this young girl seemed more attractive to her, as if they were companions from the same world.

Xia Zheng, oblivious to Lin Yuan’s distraction, raised his eyebrows and sneered, "The wealthiest? Seems like the Crown Prince has forgotten that the Dongling coastline also harbors the most pirates. Not even aware of this common knowledge, truly someone from the back of beyond!"

Even when speaking of others, Xia Zheng didn’t miss the opportunity to sarcastically taunt He Lian. The two really couldn’t stand the sight of each other!

Just as He Lian was lost in his sweet memories, he was abruptly snapped out of it by Xia Zheng’s biting remark!

"Don’t worry!"

He Lian was so agitated by him that he almost ground his teeth as he said, "With the Black-faced War God around, those pirates will sooner or later be blasted clean, so mind your own business!"

Xia Zheng arched an eyebrow, the corner of his lips curling up slightly as he shrugged nonchalantly with a hum, "Of course, I need not meddle. Compared to those pirates, I much prefer the delicacies of the seaside. It’s just a shame that I haven’t been there recently."

"Then let’s go!"

As soon as Xia Zheng finished speaking, Lin Yuan looked at him with wide, excited eyes, aglow with anticipation.

Xia Zheng was taken aback and affectionately ruffled her soft hair while chuckling repeatedly, "Sure, whenever you want to go, we’ll go! I’ll take you to the beach, have seafood; the summer breeze at the seaside is very comfortable."

Lin Yuan nodded, looking forward to the day when she could visit Dongling and meet the girl honored as a lotus nymph under the Sea Goddess.
