The Orc messengers had no choice but to go back. They did not receive any guarantees, which made them very nervous. They were going to meet the Human Emperor soon, and they did not know if he would agree.
"Wow, so many boxes!" After Carilon and the others left, Ceci jumped out from behind and said happily, "There must be a lot of money. There might even be jewelry. Can I open it and see?"
"See for yourself. You have to bring it home anyway. If you see anything you want, take it first. Otherwise, Oliveira will confiscate it." Li Huailin said. No matter what the Orcs gave, they would come to an agreement eventually. Li Huailin did not even bother to look at them.
"Great!" Ceci was very happy. She immediately opened the first box. It was indeed a box full of jewelry. The red and green colors dazzled her. "Wow … there are so many jewelry, but there are so many kinds. Look at the style. There are Elves, Human, Orcs, and Demons …"
"They were all robbed. It's nothing strange," Li Huailin said. "Take it if you like it."
"I want this!" Ceci immediately picked up a necklace and hung it around her neck. She turned around and asked Li Huailin, "How is it? How is it?"
"Don't you think it's too big …" Li Huailin said casually.
"Then let me see …" Ceci put down the necklace and looked around. She did not see anything that suited her, so she looked at the second box. "Let's see if there is anything here."
Ceci went to look at the second box. As soon as she opened it, she was stunned. She suddenly screamed, "Ah …"
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin stood up and asked curiously.
"There's … someone in the box," Ceci said, pointing at the box.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned. Just as he was about to walk over, all the guards at the door rushed in, including Legg, who was on duty.
"Madam, Duke, what happened?" Legg said hurriedly.
Li Huailin didn't answer. He walked to the box and looked inside. There was indeed a person in the second box. To be precise, it was an Orc. It was a little girl about the same age as Ceci. She had yellow hair and two cat ears. She looked very cute. But now, this little thing was probably scared out of its wits. It curled up its body and hid in the box, looking at the large group of human warriors around it with a pair of frightened eyes while trembling ceaselessly.
"Damn, what's going on with this guy?" Li Huailin pointed at the kitten and said.
"Duke, I've checked. This girl doesn't have any dangerous items on her, and she doesn't know any martial skills. She shouldn't be a threat." Legg said. When these things entered the mansion, Legg had naturally opened all the boxes and checked them. If the other party sent a box of explosives in, wouldn't that be a big deal? Legg had naturally checked the little girl carefully and found that there was no threat, so he returned her to her original state and sent her in.
"Nonsense, I know there's no threat, but what's the point of sending someone in?" Li Huailin said.
"Eh?" Legg was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Duke, is there anything strange about this?"
"Damn, tell me what's not strange," Li Huailin said.
"This …" Legg didn't know how to answer. What was strange about the Duke? He couldn't tell.
"Oh …" Ceci suddenly clapped his hands and said, "So this is the treasure given by the Orcs."
"Eh? Is that so? " Li Huailin thought about it and agreed. There was no rule stating that treasures had to be gold, silver, or other valuables. Even living things could be treasures. "Oh, I'm making a fuss out of nothing. You guys can leave first."
"Yes, Duke." Legg nodded and led the soldiers out.
"So this guy is also a kind of treasure?" Li Huailin looked left and right at the little girl and didn't see anything special. "Uh … this guy, what's so special about her?"
"Looks like a cat girl." Ceci looked at her and said, "What do you mean by special?"
"Uh, I don't know. For example, this guy is a Mythical Pet with high growth, or a special person with the ability to lay golden eggs or something," Li Huailin said.
"Eh? You don't have a fever, right? How could someone have such an ability? "Ceci said.
"Then what's her use?" Li Huailin asked.
"Ornamental. Isn't this girl very beautiful?" Ceci said.
"Eh? What？ For appreciation? "Li Huailin was taken aback." F * ck, are you kidding me? Why are you giving me an ornament? Also, what ornamental value does this guy have? She's not even fully grown, okay? "
"Beauties are a kind of treasure. It's not strange for the beasts to give you one. So what are you so confused about?" Ceci said strangely. "She's a little small, but don't you like small ones?"
"Damn, how perverted am I in the eyes of the world? Why does everyone think I'm a loli? No, it's a girl con. Speaking of which, it's all your fault," Li Huailin said.
"What girl? I'm twelve years old this year, okay?" Ceci immediately said. "She should be around the same age."
"I can't take it anymore. If this goes on, I'll become the principal of a kindergarten. This situation isn't right. I need to do something like having a hundred girls in one night," Li Huailin said quickly.
"What kind of prejudice do you have against little girls!" Ceci immediately said. "I'm only ten years younger than you. There's no barrier at all."
"No barrier my ass. I can't stand it at all, okay?" Li Huailin said as he slammed the table.
"Wah …" The little girl in the box was scared to tears by Li Huailin.
"Damn …" Li Huailin had a headache. "Someone, feed this guy."
"Hey hey, this guy is already so big. He should have been weaned a long time ago," Ceci immediately said.
"Coming, Duke." The guard outside immediately brought the milk and placed it in front of Li Huailin.
"Eh?" The little girl in the box looked at the milk and thought for a moment. Then, she carefully climbed out of the box and looked at Li Huailin. Then, she lowered her head and started to lick the milk.
"You really drank it!" Ceci couldn't help but say.
"Ah …" Ceci's words scared the little girl. She quickly looked up at Ceci, not knowing whether she should drink or not.
"Drink it, drink it." Looking at the little girl's frightened eyes, Ceci's heart softened. He ran over and patted the little girl's head.
The little girl was really scared. When Ceci's hand touched her head, her ears and tail all stood up in fear. However, she didn't dare to move.
"An Xin, what's your name?" Ceci asked.
"Zooey … meow," the little girl replied softly.
"Don't worry, Zooey. We won't hurt you. Drink it," Ceci said.
Perhaps Zooey felt Ceci's affection for her, but she finally relaxed and wasn't as nervous as before.
After staying in the box for so long, Zooey was probably hungry and thirsty. She quickly finished the milk and sat on the ground, not daring to move as she tidied up the plate.
"Poor girl …" Ceci said. "She seems to be scared. Why are you so fierce?"
"Damn, I really don't know where to start." Li Huailin held his forehead and said, "Okay, okay. Zooey, right? Go wherever you like. Don't follow me. I already have a headache with a little friend at home."
"Duke, Zooey is very obedient. Please don't drive me away! Meow. " Zooey immediately said when she heard this. She knew that the person in front of her was the Duke of Aquitaine. In the eyes of the orcs, Li Huailin was simply a devil. But now, as a sacrifice to the devil, she had to make him accept her. Otherwise, the war would not stop.
"Yes, yes. Isn't it too pitiful for you to drive her away like this?" Ceci immediately said.
"I'm the pitiful one, okay? Why do I have to become a girl-con? I'm so f * cking innocent, okay? "Li Huailin said." If I take her away, I won't be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River, okay? "
"If you don't take her away, I will …" Ceci immediately said.
"What's the difference between you taking her away and me taking her away? No matter how people look at it, they will think that I took her away, okay?" Li Huailin said.
"But you can't just drive her away like this. She was used to bribe you. If you send her back, you won't need this treasure anymore. She won't be able to complete her mission. She will definitely be abandoned," Ceci said. "Besides, isn't she very pretty? No one will say anything if you take her away."
"Motherf * cker! Those bastards from the Beast Race are simply too despicable!" This time, Li Huailin really wanted to exterminate the Beast race. This was simply ruining his reputation. "Forget it, forget it. If you want it, then take it. It's just a humanoid pet anyway. You can keep it for yourself. Don't bother me."
"Honorable Duke." Just as Li Huailin was speaking, the guard at the door suddenly walked in and saluted him.
"What is it?" Li Huailin was having a headache. He was very displeased.
"Huh?" The guard froze for a moment. He then looked at Zooey on the ground. Could it be that the Duke was about to eat this little girl, and he was caught red-handed? This was very bad. If he had known this would happen, he would have shouted outside the door. However, since he was already here, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Duke, I'm sorry. The queen's messenger is here. The court meeting is about to begin. The orc envoys have also gone to the palace. Her Highness has ordered you to go to the palace hall immediately."
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin had been waiting for this. Otherwise, he would have left the main city a long time ago. "I'll go now."
