Chapter 171 Gift
Chapter 171 Gift
Someone sent by Liu Yi?
Lu Chihuan sat up straight.
Speaking of which, he hasn't heard any news about Liu Yi since he woke up from his coma, and he doesn't know whether he has successfully passed the maturity stage.
He tilted his head and thought about it.
He glanced at Zhou Zhi, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot and full of dislike, and finally pursed his lips and raised his voice to answer:
"Please come in."
The person outside the door came in.
Lu Chihuan was surprised to find that he looked a little familiar, as he had seen him not long ago.
of course.
It was in Liu Yi’s dream.
When he was brought into the palace of the Third Prince by the merman guards, a merman servant took him to the bathhouse to take a bath and also prepared wine, fruits and melons for him to taste.
The person in front of me——
It was the mermaid attendant.
He was wearing a dark tuxedo, his slightly long hair was tied into a small ponytail hanging on the right side, and he wore a golden monocle on his eyes with the long chain swaying gently. He looked smart and capable.
It is almost impossible to see the shadow in the dream.
There were several mermaids following behind him, and they seemed to be holding something in their hands.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
The merman attendant politely saluted Lu Chihuan, then introduced himself, "My name is Yadaier, and I am the current steward of the Third Prince."
"thanks to you."
"The Third Prince has now successfully passed the maturity stage. All of us in Stuhai are very grateful to you. Without your help, who knows what would happen to the Third Prince now."
"If you have any difficulties in the future--"
"We, the Stu sea mermaids, will definitely help you and will never refuse."
This made Lu Chihuan feel a little embarrassed.
He reached out and touched his ear.
Then he stammered, "You, you guys are too serious. I didn't do anything..."
Zhou Zhi snorted unhappily beside him.
He bent his fingers and tapped his arm lightly, his light gray eyes looked cold and sharp.
"Tsk."
"If you want to thank him, why doesn't your Third Prince come here in person? He just sent you over to say a few words. Isn't that too insincere?"
He thought that Liu Yi would come to find Lu Chihuan as soon as he woke up.
Unexpectedly, he overestimated the other party.
Nothing more than that.
Adair naturally recognized that the person sitting next to Lu Chihuan was the empire's famous legendary general Zhou Zhi.
This surprised him a little.
After all, Zhou Zhi has always been known for his ruthless style of doing things, and others have to be extremely cautious when dealing with him. However, no one expected that this admiral would actually put aside his busy military affairs and come to the military hospital.
Then accompany the patient.
It seems.
The other party really cares about Lu Chihuan.
I don’t know if their third prince can still win the beauty after facing this general.
But one code equals another.
At this time, Adair would naturally not let their third prince fall into a disadvantage, so he bowed slightly and replied:
"Although the Third Prince successfully passed the maturity period, he did not expect that the purity of his bloodline would also be improved. His body is now very weak and needs to be properly nursed back to health, so His Majesty sent someone to take him back to Stuhai first."
"The Third Prince feels very sorry and guilty for not being able to meet you in person, Mr. Lu."
"so--"
"He asked me to bring you some presents."
As he said this he clapped his hands lightly.
The mermaids following behind him came in one after another holding gifts, and soon a pile of valuable items of various sizes had been piled up in the corner of the room.
Look around.
The light reflected by the pearls and gems inside is so dazzling that it hurts your eyes.
The Stuhai royal family is really wealthy.
If we estimate the value of the gifts, they should be enough to buy a building near the Imperial Palace.
Zhou Zhi saw this.
I also began to silently estimate my own assets in my mind.
Over the years, he has received rewards from the emperor for his battles against the Zerg and his efforts in eliminating star pirates. In addition, the salary of the position of admiral is not low, so he has accumulated a large sum of wealth so far. Now, this money is being managed by professional financial managers.
If you calculate carefully...
He's not bad either.
It is more than enough to nourish Lu Chihuan.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally tense body also relaxed.
Fortunately.
Didn't lose to Liu Yi.
After hearing what Yadaier said, Lu Chihuan's attention was no longer on the pile of gifts. He opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Is there something wrong with Liu Yi's health?"
Adair smiled.
"I'm just weak."
"This is a side effect of improving the purity of the bloodline. You just need to cooperate with the secret method of the Stuhai royal family and rest for a period of time and you will get better. Please don't worry."
After the purity of blood is improved, it is possible to awaken the inherited memory of the mermaids.
Strength may also increase.
As a member of the royal family of Stuhai, Liu Yi might be attacked by those who coveted the tomb of the founding emperor. That was why Liu Yi's father hurriedly took him back to Stuhai, because that was the only way to protect him.
"That's good."
Lu Chihuan felt relieved.
But he didn't deserve all these gifts.
Just as he was about to refuse, he unexpectedly winked at him.
Then he said with a slightly teasing smile, "Please don't refuse the gift. This is just a small token of gratitude for your help to the Third Prince. Also, the Third Prince said that if you really feel embarrassed--"
"It's better to treat it as a betrothal gift."
Lu Chihuan: ...
It is indeed something Liu Yi could say.
Before he could say anything else, Zhou Zhi suddenly interrupted their conversation with a dark face.
"bride price?"
"Lu Chihuan's parents haven't agreed to your coming yet. Who allowed you to bring the betrothal gifts without permission? Are you trying to forcefully marry a man?"
Adair replied unyieldingly:
"I don't know what position you are in to say this, Admiral. If you want to refuse, it should be Mr. Lu's family who should refuse."
The two looked at each other.
There seemed to be a flash of electric current passing through his eyes.
Zhou Zhi had seen a lot of storms, so he was not flustered when he heard Adair's question. He said casually, "My parents watched Lu Chihuan grow up."
"I can be considered as his half brother."
"He has been living in my house with me for the past few years. Given the relationship between us——"
"I should be able to say no, right?"
Adair choked.
It was also his fault that he did not conduct a detailed investigation into the relationship between Zhou Zhi and Lu Chihuan before coming, so he naturally lost in this argument.
He silently repented in his heart.
The third prince.
It’s not that I didn’t work hard enough, but that the enemy was too strong.
"cough."
Adair coughed as if to save face.
"Anyway, please accept these gifts, Mr. Lu. We have to take the starship back to Stuhai, so we won't disturb you to continue your rest."
"Goodbye."
He bowed respectfully.
He led the mermaids out of the room, and his back looked like he was fleeing in panic.
Let’s look at Zhou Zhi.
His legs were crossed, and his hands in black gloves were clasped and resting on his knees. His face had a rather cold expression, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the corners of his lips were slightly upturned.
Seems a little proud.
Lu Chihuan was helpless.
Since when did the Imperial Admiral become so childish?
