Chapter 4 (1/2)
My Wife Is A Princess
Chapter 4: Attendant
Li Luyou had no way to prepare a temporary palace for Her Imperial Highness that could meet the Annan imperial house’s standards. He actually felt he could maybe arrange a long-term stay in a five star hotel’s presidential suite to match Annan Xiu’s princess status. It was only too bad the cost was definitely not something a college soph.o.m.ore could shoulder. Now he could only wrong Annan Xiu and clean out another room for her.
Although Li Luyou lived alone right now, he’d had the idea of living together with his younger sister when he’d rented the house, so he could give her guidance on her final sprint in her last year of high school. Now he could put the empty room to use in advance. Li Luyou went back to his room and took out clean bedding. He moved the bed and installed it, then sprinkled water and cleaned the floor. A room without furniture or ornaments appeared, but still clean and neat enough.
As well-fed and well-clothed princess, Annan Xiu clearly wouldn’t do anything herself. She just watched on and waited for Li Luyou to finish busying himself before walking inside. She nodded, grudgingly satisfied, then she looked at Li Luyou without speaking.
Li Luyou felt that he’d already done his best and didn’t care what she meant.
The little girl pursed her lips. She was already striving very hard to lower her standards, forcing herself very much to express satisfaction. Shouldn’t Li Luyou manifest his grat.i.tude in reverence before Her Highness for the princess’ generosity and forgiveness of his lack of efforts?
”I don’t have too many demands for an aboriginal world.” The little girl was a little dissatisfied when she didn’t get the reaction she wanted. Such an attendant still required long-term training.
Li Luyou said without admitting defeat, ”There’s none of the divine sorcery you were talking about in our world, but we still have strong powers, it’s just that you don’t understand… At least, as long as you provide enough money, you can enjoy a princess life not inferior to one in the Heavenly Clouds Divine Realm.” He actually very much wanted to let this Imperial Highness experience the most luxurious palaces in this world, or the lavish residences hiding in certain places…
Of course there was also the might of nuclear explosions. Li Luyou felt that she would possibly not feel much admiration for luxurious lifestyles with her princess’ horizons, but an atomic bomb was sure to make her not dare to slight her so-called ”aboriginal world,” and think twice about the price she would need to pay in order to conquer this ”aboriginal world.”
The little girl looked very strangely at him. ”You’re my attendant… Shouldn’t you be the one to take the initiative to solve the money problem?”
”That’s an issue of different cultures and societies.” Li Luyou decided to make things clear with her. You had to clearly settle accounts even with your own brother. ”You have to understand, when in Rome do as the Romans do. In our world, you should pay your personal a.s.sistant, you also ought to pay for daily expenses… But taking into account you don’t have the ability to feed yourself in this world, I can provide some help in this area. We’ll settle the bill in the future before you leave.”
”Then you go sell this necklace.” The little girl thought a bit and took out her necklace again.
”No matter, I’ll think of a way.” Li Luyou shook his head. He looked at that precious necklace and suppressed the temptation. He could truly get rich quick overnight if he could sell this necklace, but how to sell it?
This was a dark world with no bottom limit and there were no bounds to changes in human nature when it came to money. Li Luyou could find a shop that recycled gold items and sell it without too much problem if it were an ordinary gold necklace. But such a necklace, don’t mention he didn’t have any channel to sell it to, even if he had a channel he probably wouldn’t have a life left to spend that money.
He’d already very deeply understood the truth about not exposing wealth back when his sister was was a child and holding a lollipop, then ended up with people pus.h.i.+ng her to the ground before s.n.a.t.c.hing it away.
”Alright, then I’ll go rest.” She obviously felt it was a matter of course that the questions she raised should be be sorted by others, and that she wouldn’t need to worry about them ever again.
”You’re not eating dinner?” Li Luyou didn’t treat her to a welcoming meal or plan to carefully arrange a dinner. He originally thought about making a bowl of fried rice tonight, but now his current plans had changed… to two bowls.
The door was already closed.
Minced pork, chopped onions, chicken eggs, cayenne pepper, peppery chicken grease, black beans. The fragrant fried rice exuded a thick aroma. Li Luyou didn’t have any special love for cooking, but he’d always do his best to satisfy his own tastes if he decided to cook himself.
As was his habit, Li Luyou carried a plate of fried rice piled into a pyramid and held a gla.s.s of water as he sat on the balcony’s recliner to eat. He looked at the windows next door, then watched the sky. He couldn’t help become a little absent-minded.
He was thinking back again to the scenes from the Heavenly Clouds Divine Realm Annan Xiu had poured inside his mind. He’d always believed the universe was boundless. The place greater than Earth was called the solar system, the place even greater than the solar system was the Milky Way, with untold billions of galaxies even more enormous than the Milky Way. There were nebulas, there were black holes.
But he’d never thought there was another world so close within reach. He hadn’t had time yet to pry into this universe’s mysteries that he’d already come into contact with other similar universes, or maybe the existence of parallel worlds… The divine spatial sorcery Annan Xiu talked about should be about opening a door between the world of Earth and the Heavenly Clouds Divine Realm. It was too amazing. He didn’t know if people like Einstein or Hawking could explain the principles therein.
