"My king... uh... no, Xu Huan, are you happy in the royal family recently? Is your life going well?"

Elizabeth wanted to get straight to the point, but when she thought about how people in movies and novels would simply reminisce and chat before discussing things, she forced herself to suppress the urge to ask questions and instead tried to chat with the young man about daily life.

Although the words were spoken, Elizabeth's facial expression was as stiff as it could be. It didn't seem like she was chatting, but rather it felt like she was interrogating a prisoner.

Xu Huan, who had already understood the girl's plan, was not sure what the girl had done, so he just answered, "It's okay... Everything is fine..."

"Oh...I see..." Elizabeth nodded thoughtfully.

Then, the two fell into an awkward silence.

"Uh...uh..."

Elizabeth realized that the situation seemed different from what she had imagined. She opened her mouth to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, but her mind was empty and she stuttered for a long time but still couldn't utter a word.

She still has too little experience in this area...

This series of actions not only failed to play any role in discussing the so-called important matters, but also easily gave people the ridiculous feeling of a child pretending to be an adult.

"Actually... Elizabeth, you can just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush. After all, we are acquaintances. This isn't the first time we've met."

At this moment, after a brief silence, Xu Huan finally saw through the girl's thoughts and couldn't help but speak.

Finally, after another brief silence, Elizabeth put her hands on her hips, suddenly raised her head, and regained her previous energetic look.

Since I can’t pretend anymore, I won’t pretend anymore!

The persons in the novels and movies are not as high in status as mine, so they should be the ones to learn from me.

"Uh...Okay, then I'll follow your advice, Xu Huan, and I'll return to the field I'm good at!!"

"That's right... this is you..."

Elizabeth then crossed her legs on the throne in a very ungraceful manner: "I heard that...Xu Huan, you are planning to go to Tiexue recently?"

Finally getting to the point...

Xu Huan nodded very honestly: "Yes... I'm going to do some serious work by the way."

Elizabeth didn't hear anything of what Xu Huan said afterwards. Only those two "right" words entered her mind.

"In that case...then you name a price?"

"Eh? What's the price..."

"I'm putting this straight here. As long as Xu Huan doesn't go to Iron Blood...any requests from the royal family, as long as the royal family can satisfy them, not only limited to various matters, including ship girls, can be agreed to!!" Elizabeth said very proudly.

Not just limited to things, but also includes ship girls?

To be honest, this proposal does sound very tempting.

After all, Xu Huan himself has a good relationship with many of the royal ship girls... If he has some bad intentions towards others, with such a condition, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wants?

Thinking of this, Xu Huan took a deep breath, calmed his restless heart, and refused very straightforwardly:

"Actually... Elizabeth, you don't need to convince me with these conditions. After all, I'm just going there for a while and will be back soon..."

A forced melon is not sweet...

And he wasn't that hungry.

"I don't care about that. I don't trust the people from Iron Blood very much!" Elizabeth shook her head, then mobilized her mental energy and gently raised her hand.

As the kneading little hands waved in the air, almost all the boxes in the room opened at the same time.

In an instant, the light emitted by countless gold, silver and jewels illuminated the room brightly. The gold, silver and various precious objects made people dazzled. Xu Huan could even see the scent of jewels in the air.

It was the first time in his life that he had seen so many jewels at the same time.

"These...are all my treasures. As long as you, Xu Huan, promise not to go to Tiexue, all of these can be yours. How about it?" Elizabeth took out her most proud collection, looking confident.

"Well... to be honest, I'm not really interested in jewelry..." Xu Huan coughed twice and refused again simply and clearly.

In his opinion, all these jewels are just some beautiful but basically useless metals...

The temptation to him was not as precious as a crystal that condensed mental energy. At least the crystal could save his life in a critical moment on the battlefield.

Elizabeth's conditions might be attractive to a so-called "pirate" like Little Octopus.

But he himself has no worries about food and clothing...

Gold, silver, jewelry and the like...are not as important as a dinner with Aurora.

Chapter 157: The Unfaithful Man Xu Huan

"Are you really not interested at all?" When Elizabeth saw Xu Huan acting so indifferent, her confidence instantly shattered.

According to the plot in the novel, shouldn't Xu Huan simply refuse, or bargain for a while before accepting the offer?

Are there really people in this world who are not interested in gold, silver and treasures?

"I can't say that I have no interest at all, but I'm not very fond of it..." In order to save Elizabeth's face, Xu Huan expressed some recognition of wealth after a little thought.

"And... Elizabeth, have you ever thought about this? If I really want to stay for some treasure, then if the Iron Blood offers a higher price, will I go directly there?"

Elizabeth seemed to have no idea what Xu Huan meant. She said confidently, "I have never worried about this matter, because Tiexue is very poor. They can't afford the price I offer..."

“This is not a question of being poor or not… How should I put it…”

Xu Huan recalled the basic conditions of the major camps that he had learned before, and began to weave a set of rhetoric that was easier to understand.

To be honest, if Yan Zhan hadn't asked him to "take care" of Elizabeth, Xu Huan probably wouldn't have bothered to explain so much...

"Then let's take White Eagle for example? White Eagle can definitely afford it, right? What if White Eagle offers a higher price, will I go to their port area just for that?"

"White Eagle's words——"

Elizabeth raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, then shook her head: "Although I am a little unhappy, I can still accept White Eagle's words. After all, the relationship between the royal family and them is pretty good..."

Good man, this guy didn't listen to me at all...

Xu Huan's eyes twitched, and he gave up the idea of ​​preaching, and said directly: "So in your eyes, Elizabeth, I should go to the side with the higher price? An item that is bought and sold?"

The young man's tone at this moment was somewhat unfriendly, and anyone could hear the anger contained in it.

"Well--"

After Xu Huan's reminder, Elizabeth realized that what she said was a bit too rude. Her arrogant temperament disappeared completely, and a hint of nervousness immediately flashed across her pretty face.

My original confidence was completely wiped out by the series of blows I suffered before, and now it seems that I accidentally said the wrong thing and offended someone.

Perhaps it would have been possible to keep the person in the royal family, but after all this trouble on my part, I might even make him angry and leave.

"I didn't mean that, Xu Huan!!!"

She stammered as she explained, and even forgot to say the "this king" which she usually kept on her lips.

The young man in front of her basically didn't fall for her tricks. Whether it was his temper or the way he stepped up, he would just stop at the right time. He was never like the other ship girls in the Royal Family who would always go along with her temper.

“But it sounds like that’s what it means…”

As Xu Huan spoke, he sighed with a sense of loss.

Elizabeth felt the same.

This little temper should be tamed sometimes. If he is used to running rampant in the port area and still does the same outside, naturally someone will help teach him a lesson.

As expected, seeing the young man sighing and looking worried, Elizabeth's already unstable mentality collapsed in an instant.

What have I done!!! Why didn't I realize it...

Are you really going to push that person away?

What should I do now? What should I do to save myself? No one has ever taught me before...

Elizabeth, who had never had the word "apology" in her dictionary, was in a very difficult situation at this time.

She wanted to do something, but she had no idea how to do it.

When Xu Huan saw Elizabeth's appearance, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

It's like satisfying some weird craving...

Seeing a proud person humble is something that can easily make people feel satisfied.

He tried to sigh quietly again and stood up.

"Don't leave!!!"

The royal queen, who was already confused, saw Xu Huan stand up. The moment she saw him, she immediately imagined countless scenarios in which Xu Huan left the royal family because of her offense.

In an instant, she became anxious.

She no longer cared about her status as Her Majesty the Queen and no longer maintained her proud temperament.

Elizabeth suddenly jumped off her throne and trotted to Xu Huan.

"puff--"

She didn't know what to do, so she subconsciously stretched out her hand, intending to hug the young man directly and restrict his movements physically.

But the boxes piled up in the room became a stumbling block for the ship girl at this time.

Elizabeth's foot was hit lightly by a box from somewhere, and her petite body, which was jogging, suddenly lost balance and fell towards Xu Huan.

She subconsciously reached forward and then hugged the young man's thighs.

The plan to restrict the actions of young people has been achieved. Elizabeth half-knelt on the ground, ignoring the pain in her legs, raised her head and looked at Xu Huan eagerly.

"I...I said the wrong thing...Can you please not leave yet?!"

"ah.....?"

Xu Huan looked at Elizabeth who was hugging his thighs, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seems like... a bit too much?

And his silence represented another meaning in Elizabeth's eyes.

"I...I said something wrong...Xu Huan, please don't leave..."

An indescribable feeling of grievance suddenly surged into Elizabeth's heart, and her eyes suddenly became moist.

She looked at the young man with tears in her eyes, and kept repeating words like "Don't leave"...

During the short period of silence of the young man, Elizabeth also truly realized from her heart what she really wanted.

If not for the royal family, then simply for one's own selfish desires.

The young man in front of me must stay...

If I stay, I can spend more time with myself. If I go to Tiexue, I won't be able to see each other...

The girl was half-kneeling on the ground, holding the young man's thigh tightly and refusing to let go, mumbling something. Her pretty face had already been wet with tears, and the tip of her straight nose was also red, which made people feel distressed.

If someone saw this, it would be easy for people to think that Xu Huan was a heartless man who had let someone down.

Chapter 158: Fraud

Seeing this, Xu Huan's heart softened a lot.

If nothing else...

The girl's pitiful appearance is still very lovable...

But Tiexue himself cannot help but go. Is there any way to make the other party believe that he will not never come back?

Elizabeth has a childish personality, and children's words...

One type is very easy to deceive and can get away with it by making up some excuses. The other type will not easily believe in the so-called promises. For them, the actual things they can see in front of them are far more important than an illusory promise.

Elizabeth at this moment was probably in the latter state.

No matter what I say at this moment or what promises I make, I guess the other party will not let go of my thigh.

For Elizabeth at this moment, only by seeing the "sugar" in front of her could she stop feeling wronged.

Xu Huan hesitated for a while and took out a crystal ring from the storage device.

Judging from the performance of other ship girls, this thing...the ship girls should all like it?

Xu Huan himself happened to have many crystal rings.

All of these were prepared beforehand to prepare for the moment when one gets into danger, but I didn't expect that they would be useful at this time as well.
