CHAPTER 49 (2/2)

The second prince didn’t ask the third prince but he knew what the third prince loved to eat. After all, they were enemies who had grown up together and were very clear about each other’s taste.

The third prince deliberately said, “Add two more screaming crabs.” This wasn’t actually a crab. It was a type of fish but it looked like a crab and it screamed, thus it got this name.

This fish was a famous luxury ingredient, just like truffles on land. It wasn’t necessarily delicious but it was definitely expensive.

The second prince said, “Why do you eat that thing? It’s terrible.”

The third prince replied, “Second Brother doesn’t have to eat it. I will eat with Colin.”

The second prince, “…”

The third prince sent him a look. “What? Second Brother said you would treat us but you are actually reluctant to spend money? Well, forget it. I will take care of this table today. Third Brother…”

“Fine.” The second prince’s gentle and bewitching face showed rare signs of collapse. “What is so good about this broken fish? It hurts people and is costly.”

Xie Xi secretly glanced at the fish. This screaming crab was quite expensive. One alone cost as much as his monthly salary. However, wasn’t he the second prince? How could he be short of money?

Um… Xie Xi hadn’t taken it seriously when Gars said his brother was cheap. Now he felt there was some truth to it.

Still, he was the minister of finance so this didn’t seem to be a bad thing?

Xie Xi soon realized that the second prince’s cheapness was embedded deep into his bone marrow. Regardless of how he acted as a peacock, his essence was a calculating person who would haggle over everything.

As he ate, he scolded the third prince, “This crab leg is full of meat. Why aren’t you eating it?”

In fact, the third prince could peel crab legs. Xie Xi had seen it. The third prince was deliberately angering the second prince.

The second prince of the underwater kingdom picked up the leg discarded by his brother, picked out the remaining meat and placed it on his plate. The third prince knew his faults and threw away the plate.

The second prince angrily yelled while picking up the pieces, “That’s enough! I don’t want to eat dinner with you!”

“Then why did you invite me?”

The second prince looked at the plate and then Xie Xi who was happily eating the cheapest crescent fruit. “I clearly asked Little Colin.”

Xie Xi was stunned but not because he suddenly became the topic of conversation. It was because the purple progress of the second prince rose by 3%.

Why did it go up?

The third prince grabbed Xie Xi’s crescent fruit and pushed the screaming crab towards him. “Why are you eating crescent fruit? Eat this!”

Xie Xi didn’t like the powerful taste of the screaming crab. He picked up the half-gnawed crescent fruit and said, “Don’t waste food. I will finish this first.”

He just finished speaking when he found that the purple progress of the second prince rose by another 1%.

Xie Xi, “…” All these souls were poisonous!

The second child scorned the third child. “Do you see how sensible Little Colin is? You don’t know anything about human misery.”

The third prince definitely knew how to provoke his brother and just said in return, “Give me two Bai Xieqing.”

This was a type of wine on the seabed. The value was similar to the 82 years old Lafite wine.

The second prince raised his eyebrows. “You want to drink wine? No…”

The third prince told him, “It’s fine, I’ll treat you.” He glanced at Xie Xi. “Is two bottles enough?”

Xie Xi hurriedly shook his head. “I don’t drink. I am allergic.”

The third prince regretted. “Then forget it.”

Xie Xi found that after his words, the purple bar rose by 1% again. Was the strategy for this slag fish to focus on ‘stinginess’?

Don’t look at the third prince’s military origins. His alcohol tolerance was actually very ordinary and he started to feel dizzy after three cups. He ordered two bottles of wine and drank less than half a bottle.

The second prince was distressed. “You can’t drink yet you opened all the wine.”

The third prince deliberately poked at him. “How can you not drink? Do you plan to throw it away?”

The second prince said, “Do you know how much manpower and resources were wasted in brewing this bottle of wine? You know how many people these 300,000 pearls…” He paused before continuing, “This is why I hate soldiers. All of you waste money the wrong way!”

He usually wasn’t angry and it was rare for him to be sulking like this. Xie Xi looked at him with much more interest than before.

The second prince looked at the dizzy third prince then at the bottle of wine and poured himself a cup. “I can’t waste this.” Then he drank.

Xie Xi, “…”

Okay, the third child and second child were drunk while he sat to the side and watched the fun.

The meal hadn’t finished when the third prince fell on the table.

The second prince also staggered. Xie Xi glanced at the two remaining crescent fruit and spoke in a warm manner. “Second Prince, these aren’t finished. Can I take them with me?” The two of them were fine. He could peel the skin and have them for breakfast tomorrow.

The second prince’s eyes lit up and he patted Xie Xi’s shoulder. “You are a good boy.”

He picked up the two crescent fruit and placed them in Xie Xi’s hands. “This year, we have increased our funds and we increased the production of the crescent fruit. This is a good thing. Many ordinary people use them to fill their stomachs…”

Xie Xi held the two crescent fruits while muttering in his heart, ‘I didn’t think the slag fish would be like this.

The second prince’s servant took him away while Xie Xi sent the third prince back to his palace.

There were very few people on the third prince’s side. Apart from a few guards, there wasn’t anyone responsible for his lifestyle. Fortunately, the buoyancy of the water was great and Xie Xi placed the third prince on the bed without much trouble.

This person had a bad alcohol tolerance yet he still drank.

Xie Xi saw the blue bruises on his arm and thought that the third prince had been on the training fields all day. It was estimated that he was very tired, which was why he was sleeping so soundly.

Xie Xi looked at the red progress bar and had a thought.

This was a good opportunity to use Dreaming and increase his progress.

He had thought that collecting the love of the six princes was an impossible task. Now thanks to Roast Pork Bun’s sudden evolution, the difficulty had plummeted and Xie Xi’s mood was much better.

He had to complete the main task as soon as possible. Maybe he could try doing the branch task and directly clear the quasi-world.

Xie Xi had a headache as he thought of the side task to collect one million tons of garbage.

Forget it. Let’s take a look at the third prince’s dream first. Xie Xi used Dreaming and entered straight into the third prince’s dream.

This guy was really dreaming about him.

Xie Xi’s vision turned dark and once he opened his eyes, he felt a strong impact.

He was shocked and hurriedly grabbed the person in front of him. Unfortunately, he hadn’t been able to touch when he heard the third prince’s voice, “You evil dragon, let him go!”

Xie Xi, “???”

Roast Pork Bun broadcasted live, “Daddy, you were captured by the dragon!”

Xie Xi’s face was stunned. What was this messy dream?

He felt his body being clasped by a paw, followed by a low voice that sounded like the second prince. “He’s mine.”

Oh, the dragon was the second prince.

This truly was the third prince’s dream.
