Chapter 18: Elven Harem
"Freya, Harris told me everything last month. I appreciate your willingness to take responsibility and take the initiative to solve problems. But...... You have to start and finish things, and if you just take a risk and run away and leave everything else behind, then I'd just think you're just trying to do it for fun. If so, I don't like it. ”
Seeing the serious look on Xu Yi's face, Freya was a little nervous, and a pair of big eyes turned around twice, and she quickly understood the meaning of Xu Yi's words.
"Dad, you mean...... Last kidnapping...... Isn't it over yet?"
Xu Yi sighed softly and shook his head.
"Since you asked this question, it can be seen that you are really only participating in it with the intention of playing. Freya, go and get the punishment from your mother, I have no reason to defend you this time. ”
Freya's face changed slightly, and she glanced back at Steele with a bitter face, but when she saw Steele looking at her expressionlessly, she could only obediently walk to Steele's side and bow her head.
"Mother, please punish you. ”
"I just think you're doing something wrong because you don't take care of yourself, you take risks easily, and you worry us. What is the punishment for this...... Punish you to follow Grandpa Tai and them to study space magic seriously for a week, and you must get Grandpa's approval, understand?"
Freya looked up, smiling again.
"I understand. Mom, you're just asking me to learn more life-saving methods, and I'll learn it seriously. ”
Steele shook his head with a smile, patted her and said, "Okay, go to your dad, he must have something else to explain." ”
"Obey!" Freya gave a playful salute and rushed to Xu Yi's side in three steps and two steps. "Dad, I've received my mother's punishment. I'm coming to report to you!"
"Do you think this is the end of it?" Xu Yi was still expressionless. "Your mom just thinks you're making yourself suspected and causing us to worry, and that's wrong. But in my opinion, your biggest mistake is to do things without a beginning and an end, just to have fun and get involved, but not to care about the follow-up of the matter, and not to care about the impact of your participation. This is a more serious mistake than risking yourself. Got it?"
Freya scratched her head, a little inexplicable.
"Dad, is there any follow-up to that incident? Haven't we already cleaned up all the old nests of those traffickers and rescued the kidnappers?"
"So you think that everything after that should be my headache, and it has nothing to do with you, right?" Xu Yi snorted coldly.
Freya stuck out her tongue and snorted softly, "Uncle Harris betrayed me......"
Xu Yi knocked on her head: "What do you mean by betraying you? I'll tell you, it's really a headache for me to deal with the forces behind this trafficking ring, but this incident alone is the rescue of the kidnapped population. I left it to you in the first place. Because of the problems caused by this incident, you are also responsible. ”
"Oh...... Didn't Uncle Harris say the rest is a matter of program, so it's okay?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know. Xu Yi shook his head.
"Huh?" Freya looked at Xu Yi in amazement. "Dad, you...... Are you kidding me?"
Xu Yi's face with a serious expression showed a smile full of cunning.
"I really don't know. Because the envoys sent by the Candela Empire have indicated that they want to see you and discuss some cooperation with you, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
Freya was stunned, and instantly understood.
"Yes! You didn't mean to, did you?"
Xu Yi grinned: "Don't care if I did it on purpose. Anyway, it's because of what you brought out, and you have to be responsible for it to the end. Something else. I don't need to say more, right?"
Freya sighed helplessly and nodded dejectedly: "I know." Should I go and meet with those people from the Candela Empire later?"
"Don't ask me, it's your business. Xu Yi put on a hateful appearance that had nothing to do with himself, which made Freya pout.
Steele, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, can you father and daughter not always play this kind of child's game in front of the guests?" I'm going to have a good discussion with you about the new show. ”
Since getting out of the car, Linoa, who has been waiting by the side and watching Freya interact with her parents, walked up with a smile and saluted Steele and Xu Yi respectively. Then he looked at Xu Yi with a serious face.
"President Xu, the elder asked me to ask you, when are you going to marry me?"
Xu Yi rolled his eyes: "I said Lenoya, can you not ask this question every time you see me?"
"Because you haven't given me a specific answer. Rinoa was still smiling, as if she didn't feel in the slightest that her question was abrupt and out of place.
If Rinoya's fanatical fans, who are now all over the Sainz continent, hear this question, I'm afraid countless people will be saddened by this.
Of course, no one will be outraged.
Because...... The object of Lynoya's question was Xu Yi.
"But I've answered you many times that I won't say yes. Xu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Go back and tell Elder Wentini that I'm almost sixty years old, and it wouldn't be a tyrannical thing to marry a young girl like you to me. Besides, I already have so many wives and don't want to have another one. ”
"But President Xu, I'm ninety-eight years old this year, almost forty years older than you. Rinoa said with a smile.
"You are an elf, can you calculate your age like a human like me?" Xu Yi retorted.
"But President Xu, you have actually fused the life essence of our elven race, plus your magical strength, even if you are sixty years old, it is much better for you than the state of an ordinary human at the age of thirty, so this is not a problem. ”
Seeing that Lynoya actually put on a stubborn attitude, Xu Yi could only roll his eyes again helplessly.
"Anyway, Rinoa, I'm not going to say yes. You see, my daughters look like they're almost as old as you, how can I marry a little elven girl like you? Besides, you're not good friends with Freya, and if I marry you, what do you want Freya to call you?"
Freya was originally watching Lynoya "propose" to Xu Yi with great interest, but when she suddenly heard Xu Yi mention herself, she couldn't help but sneer, blinked, and nodded seriously: "Hmm...... This is indeed a problem. But...... Dad, this doesn't conflict with Lynoya wanting to marry you, does it? I support you marrying Lenoya, so we will be a family. Are you right, Rinoa?"
"Of course. Rinoya nodded affirmatively.
Xu Yi could only turn his gaze for help to Steele.
Steele shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "You know that I will never care about your affairs, if you want to marry Rinoya, you can marry, I will not object." ”
Xu Yi sighed, patted his head hard, and waved his hand at Freya and Rinoya.
"Go in first. ”
Freya grinned, pulled Rinoya and ran towards the house, turning around and waving her fist at Xu Yi as she ran, making a gesture of encouragement.
Xu Yi smiled dumbly, and when Freya and Rinoya disappeared behind the door, he put away the smile on his face and sighed lightly: "It seems that the Ella clan is not willing to live under the Night Song Clan and the Moon Shadow Clan no matter what. ”
"Of course. Elder Wendini can see how much the Nightsong Clan and the Moon Shadow Clan have gained from their cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce over the years. Although the Aishara clan and our Crescent Chamber of Commerce are now working closely together, it is not as good as the benefits obtained from cooperating with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in any way, and it is normal for her to have this idea. ”
"But why do you have to marry an elven girl first if you want to realize this idea?" Xu Yi smiled bitterly.
Steele gave Xu Yi a blank look: "Who asked you to marry Yanis?"
"How can Annis be in the same situation? She's the first elf I've ever met, and the elven girl I've ever been in contact with the most and most affectionate. And even if it's Yanis, I'll hesitate for a long time to marry her with your support. Now that Elder Wendini is going to push Rinoa to me, how can I accept it?"
"But since you married Yanis, you set a precedent. So Elder Lisanya asked Tvesty to marry you as well, for the sake of fairness. Now that the Ishshara clan wants to be treated the same as the Nightsong clan and the Moon Shadow clan, it obviously feels more convenient to start with you, the leader of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so it is not surprising that he will marry you an elven girl from his clan as well. ”
"Your analysis makes sense, but Steele, why do I still think it's weird?" Xu Yi looked strange. "According to what you say, every elf tribe wants to cooperate with our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the future, wouldn't they have to let an elf girl of their own clan marry me first? Not to mention the Demon Cloud Continent, there are dozens of elf tribes currently found on the Sainz Continent alone. Could it be that I am going to open a huge elven harem in the future?"
Steele glanced at Xu Yi and chuckled, "It's not a bad thing." Anyway, these elven girls are all beautiful, and you won't suffer. ”
"What are you kidding!" Xu Yi's eyes widened, frowned and thought for a while, and shook his head. "No, I have to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise it will be too much trouble in the future. ”
Steele looked inside the door and sighed, "If you want to refuse, try to make a decision as quickly as possible." Otherwise, I'm worried that this little girl will really fall into it and can't extricate herself. ”
Xu Yi was stunned: "No, I haven't met her a few times in total." ”
Steele smiled, reached out and pinched Xu Yi's face, just like a young man.
"No way, who made my husband too attractive. (To be continued......)
