Little Family Treasure of the Apocalyptic Boss - Ch 66
Chapter 66: Brooch
In a world teeming with practitioners like the savage wilderness, the efficiency of robots remained formidable.
Half a month later, a palace no less grand than the Black and White Dragon Palaces rose from the barren cliff outside the city.
Stretching from the mountaintop to the coral reefs beside the sea, crossing romantic golden beaches and plains. Luxurious and gorgeous, yet filled with warm and intimate details everywhere.
It didn’t resemble a vast palace that would feel desolate without people.
“Nuo Nuo, do you want to arrange anything else? Take a look, and if there’s anything missing, we can go buy it.” Ye Ze stood in front of the main hall’s gate on the mountaintop, overlooking the scenery below, smiling as he asked the little snake sub-beast.
After playing by the sea for many days, it was the first time the little snake sub-beast encountered their newly constructed mansion. As Ye Ze expected, it was a huge surprise that the little snake sub-beast loved dearly.
Whether it was the glass house diving into the sea, the sightseeing cable car connecting the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain, or the small fields and pastures left for household use, the little snake sub-beast loved them all very, very much!
“I don’t want to arrange anything else! Thank you, Ye Zi!” The little snake sub-beast hugged Ye Ze and excitedly gave him a kiss.
Ye Ze was thrilled.
In an instant, he felt like he could build another hundred villas like this one!
But his heart was hammered by the interdimensional mall points.
An Jue came as usual to “observe the state of the ocean.” Naturally, he became the first guest to settle into the new house.
He was warmly welcomed and entertained by the little snake sub-beast.
Ye Ze thought about it. Before the apocalypse, it was common for families to invite relatives and friends to gather at the new house to increase its popularity. He didn’t have many relatives left, but the little snake sub-beast was different.
So he decided to send invitations to Ming Ya, Ling Jue, and even to the city lord, who had recently had a lot of business dealings, as well as a few teachers and students he had met during the entrance exams.
He thought that only a few people would respond to the last-minute invitation, but unexpectedly, by evening, all of them had arrived.
The little snake sub-beast was bustling happily between the kitchen and the living room.
He loved lively gatherings the most!
Seeing the little snake sub-beast happy, Ye Ze’s mood soared. He walked over to the city lord with a wine glass, much more intimate than before. He joked, “The city lord’s visit really brightens up my new home. I’m so touched that I want to add some profit to your contract.”
I’ll be damned if I believe you!
The city lord’s mouth twitched, listening to his nonsense. His gaze drifted toward the glass door of the kitchen, his heart trembling.
The fact that Emperor An Jue had been with these two for so many days without dispersing was completely unexpected to him. Even if it wasn’t for Ye Ze’s potential, just for Emperor An Jue’s face, he would have to make time to come, even amidst his busy schedule.
Daring not to be absent.
The reason for the arrival of the academy teachers and students was quite ordinary.
Establishing good relations with a student who possessed extraordinary talents and came from a strong background would also be beneficial for their future development. Why wouldn’t one engage in such interpersonal relationships?
Feeling somewhat strange about the gathering place, when the academy members arrived by beast carriages and reached the mansion’s walls, they were completely dumbfounded.
This wasn’t just a weak background; this was clearly a hidden powerhouse!
Seeing the radiance, the water, the mountains, and the buildings! Ordinary nobles wouldn’t be able to afford such grandeur!
The few of them exchanged glances and recalled their initial confrontation with Qinglan, feeling a bit of sympathy for him.
That self-righteous young master probably still had no idea what terrifying figure he had inadvertently provoked.
However, Ming Ya and Ling Jue were different.
They had known Ye Ze’s extraordinary nature for a long time and were most in line with Ye Ze’s plans, so they came just to join in the fun. In the entire living room, they were the ones who made the most noise, amusing the little snake sub-beast to no end.
Seeing this, Ye Ze was quite satisfied. Before leaving, he specially arranged some extra delicate food and clothing for the two of them.
Ming Ya grinned from ear to ear and gave him a thumbs up, vowing, “In return for these nice things, I’ll definitely take good care of Nuo Nuo at the academy!”
Ling Jue gave him a pat on the back of his head and looked apologetically at the little snake sub-beast, speechlessly admonishing him, “You should take care of him even without these things. Show some virtue!”
Ming Ya secretly stuck his tongue out at the little snake sub-beast. After once again making the little snake sub-beast laugh, they happily boarded the RV that would take them back.
It was smooth sailing, almost as if there were no bumps at all.
And in the blink of an eye, they were back at their doorstep.
Getting off the car, even the city lord couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the RV, determined to have the city lord’s wife interact more with the little snake sub-beast in the future. Those who could take care of him must be taken care of.
With the support of the Emperor and endless magical resources, it would be difficult for Ye Ze, this beastman, not to become a popular figure in the Dragon Palace City!
They had to quickly build relationships before he rose completely.
Although An Jue and the little snake sub-beast hadn’t known each other for long, surprisingly, their relationship was closer than with anyone else. And at this moment, they hadn’t left yet.
The little snake sub-beast mysteriously dragged him to the garden and presented a beautiful velvet box to him.
“What’s this?” An Jue’s eyes glinted with a smile as he reached out to take the gift.
The little snake sub-beast’s golden eyes sparkled, brighter than the stars in the sky. His smile was radiant yet shy. “It’s a gift!”
An Jue’s pupils contracted slightly. He opened the box and saw two exquisite pieces of jewelry.
Rare deep-sea pearls had an extraordinary calming effect on beasts or females. The main parts were one purple and one gold, both colors pure and translucent, far from ordinary.
They were sculpted into beautiful yet dignified dragon forms, occasionally adorned with expensive gemstones that exuded a rich texture.
At first glance, they were simply mesmerizing.
Even An Jue, who didn’t pay much attention to accessories, had to admit the beauty of these two brooches.
“Is it a pair?” An Jue inadvertently showed his confusion.
“The other one is for Auntie.” The little snake sub-beast felt extremely embarrassed. With reddened ears, he looked down at his fingers and added in a barely audible voice, “If Uncle gives it to Auntie, maybe Auntie won’t be angry anymore.”
An Jue’s keen senses easily caught the little snake sub-beast’s murmurs. He was slightly taken aback and almost laughed.
The issues between him and Nuo Fei were too numerous to be resolved with just a gift.
And it wasn’t the kind of affection that the cub imagined.
A cub with such innocent thoughts had indeed been well protected by Ye Ze.
An Jue felt both relieved and somewhat disappointed.
“I really like the gift.” An Jue’s hand, which had hesitated to lift, finally landed on the little snake sub-beast’s head, gently rubbing their soft hair. “Auntie will also like it. Thank you, Nuo Nuo.”
The wilted little flower instantly regained its radiance, swaying on top of its head.
The little snake sub-beast smiled, his eyes forming happy crescents.
Being able to help Uncle was great!
As a reward, he could sleep ten minutes longer tomorrow morning with Ye Ze!
“What’s this?”
Seeing Nuo Fei, who she just wanted to hammer, restraining her impulse, catching the small box An Jue tossed to her, and opening it to find an elegantly designed brooch, she raised an eyebrow. Sitting back in her fur armchair, she crossed her long legs.
“Spill it. What mischief have you idiots from the White Dragon Clan been up to again?”
Considering that this apology came unexpectedly and surprisingly pleased her, she reluctantly agreed to let this group of people lie in bed for a few days.
An Jue couldn’t help but fall silent, feeling the urge to take back the cub’s gift.
Might as well, the big gift box the cub prepared was still with him.
Thinking of this, An Jue’s mood suddenly brightened.
“It’s nothing.” An Jue waved his hand. Anticipating that the cub might ask, he added, “You’ll know in the future.”
“?!” Has this guy taken the wrong medicine today? He didn’t even deliberately act affectionate to pretend intimacy?
Nuo Fei inspected the brooch in her hand repeatedly, confirmed that it wasn’t poisoned or hiding any hidden weapons, and happily accepted it. After putting it away in her storage ring for a while, she couldn’t help but take it out again and wear it on the most prominent place on her chest.
Satisfied.
Although this guy wasn’t that great, this brooch was really likable.
Even if it was cursed with temptation, she could fully accept wearing it.
Nuo Fei subconsciously reached out and touched the dragon pattern on the brooch, running her fingers over it. Her mood was unexpectedly smooth.
She needed to change her tone.
It might be possible to let this group of people off today.
If An Jue was willing to introduce the designer to her and accompany her in acting, she might consider it.
The author has something to say: The next day, Ye Ze, who received unexpected benefits, almost fainted from cuteness.
“Ye Ze: The little snake sub-beast who loves to lie in bed and act cute is a treasure of the world! I won’t accept any objections! [Groundhog squeal]”
