Chapter 273 - 273: Let’s Go! (1/2)

Storm's ears flattened behind his head, his beady, yellow eyes stared at his mistress pleadingly. His large paw resting on top of her duffle bag, refusing to let her leave.

”It'll be only for a few days, Storm.” Lillie affectionately ruffled the black wolf's head. No language barrier stopped them from understanding one another. ”Look after everyone for me, alright? I promise to bring you something good when we get back.”

Storm mewled, his tail wagged in a slow, downhearted manner.

Ethan stood by the door frame with slight astonishment. Who knew this fierce-looking fellow could actually make such an adorable expression?

He's not much different from his mistress then.

”I'm ready! Let's go.” Death padded down the stairs with a duffle bag hung on one shoulder.

Ethan raised his eyebrow. Was he bringing anything with him when he shamelessly barged into their home.

”I hope you don't mind, Junior Sister, I brought some or your shampoos and soap with me. You know how expensive the good ones in the Academy are like. Because master confiscated half of my money, I can only buy those cheap ones that dries your skin and hair.” Death's face scrunch up in distaste just remembering it.

He's the type who takes good care of his skin and hair, despite how he portrays himself. Even without looking closely, you could tell with how l.u.s.trous and soft they are.

”I'm aware. You can bring as much as you like.” Lillie nodded in agreement. ”Though I doubt they're what filled your bag. What else is inside there?”

Death laughed sheepishly. ”Just some snacks along the way.”

”Snacks?” Ethan muttered, suspiciously eyeing the duffle bag that's ready to burst.

”I get hungry easily, all right? Bite me!” Death folded his arms with a ”humph!”

Lillie ignored the two bickering males and headed outside to tell the driver of the destination they're going.

While she inserted her own duffle bag and a tightly lidded wine jar in the trunk, she heard the two males striding behind her to also put their bag with hers.

Their squabbling didn't cease, so Lillie had to pinch and pull their ears to shut them up. ”You two can argue to your hearts' content when I'm not around.” The threat in her tone didn't go unnoticed.

”Yes, ma'am.” They muttered, nursing their abused ear.

Lillie said her final goodbyes to Storm by stroking the thick coat around his neck with both hands.

”We'll be going now.” Lillie send a single nod to the housekeepers.

”Take care, young miss, young master Li, and sir Death.” Butler Tian bowed his head and so did Nanny Ying.

”Look after each other, alright?” Nanny Ying said with a gentle smile. ”I hope you enjoy your trip as much as you can. You two deserve a break.”

”Wuwuwu, thank you for taking care of me!” Death cried to the two housekeepers and the head cook, who also came out to see them off.

Death especially love the head cook, Annie, because she would always cook for him whenever he would enter the kitchen to look for something to eat.

And her dished were to die for!

”Take care of your healths! And refrain from eating too much junk food, Mr. Death.” The jolly woman reminded them. ”I hope the food I packed for you will be enough.”

”It's more than enough, thank you!”
