Chapter 306 – Good Food Needs Good Company (2/2)

“Hehe, miss, you misunderstand, the person with the problem is yourself.”

“Me? What’s wrong with me?”

“If your heart is filled with jealousy, then it’s going to taste bitter no matter how sweet the ice-cream is, right?”

“Xiao Hua? You…”

When ShenDai Ying saw Xiao Hua’s gaze, she realized that Xiao Hua was teasing her.

That’s right, she was indeed jealous.

The reason she treated the owner like that and wanted the exact same sundae was out of jealousy. Why was Elena able to eat such a delicious sundae and laugh so happily, that wasn’t fair, so she wanted to experience the same happiness.

But the difference was that she bought this sundae herself and the person next to her was Xiao Hua, and Elena’s one was bought by Lin Xiao and the one next to her was also Lin Xiao…

Who it was bought by, who it was paid for by, that was probably what made the sundae taste much better.

“Sigh…”

ShenDai Ying sighed and concentrated on the matter at hand.

“Tell me Xiao Hua, what kind of mission is it this time?”

“Hm…” Xiao Hua awkwardly stroked her nose when she heard that.

ShenDai Ying realized that there was a new mission before she even mentioned it.

“Xiao Hua, I should have told the master that I’m injured right now and can’t carry out assassinations, I still need some time to recuperate… why is he still assigning me missions?”

“No, miss… it’s not an assassination this time.”

“It’s not?”

“Un, it’s a surveillance mission.”

“Who?”

“The siblings from Bamboo Academy, Yao Zi and Lin Tian.”

“Them?”

Xiao Hua thoughtfully explained for her when she noticed ShenDai Ying’s confusion.

Although those siblings weren’t anyone important… even if Yao Zi did possess the wizard’s bloodline, she still wasn’t awakened yet, and it’s possible that she would never awaken, so they weren’t a big problem, but the key was with the prophecy.

Shen Yue Ge got news that the pope had a prophecy of the end, and the only one who could save everyone was the chosen one. So the hero Greenton is currently traveling across the world, trying to find the person from the prophecy and there was evidence that showed that Yao Zi was first on his candidates list!

“The master said you just have to keep an eye on them and report their movements and situation immediately… especially Yao Zi, since she is the most likely to be the chosen one.”

“Surveillance, huh… it’s not like I can go to their house and say I want to be their maid to watch them day and night, right?” It seems like she still hadn’t digested all of her jealousy and was still thinking about a certain maid.

“Miss, you…” Xiao Hua helplessly shook her head then continued, “The alliance office issued a S rank mission, Yao Zi and Lin Tian already took it and is going to leave soon. Miss, you’re also an investigator, so…”

“So you want me to team up with them and complete the mission together?”

ShenDai Ying answered before Xiao Hua and got an affirmative gaze in response.

Surveillance, not an assassination, with her identity of an investigator. There was no risk and the mission was simple, ShenDai Ying had no reason to refuse.

Having said that, she didn’t really want to do it.

From what she knew, Lin Xiao also took the mission, she had originally planned to go with Lin Xiao but now she was forced to team up with someone else. Wouldn’t that be just giving Elena the time and space to monopolize Lin Xiao?

It couldn’t be helped, since there was a mission and she had no reason to decline, she could only agree.

“Then, be careful.”

“Sigh, Xiao Hua, um…”

Just when ShenDai Ying turned and wanted to chat with Xiao Hua, she already vanished.

“What are you running for? It’s not like I’ll take out my anger on you, really…”

Although she said that, if Xiao Hua never left, she probably would be used as a punching bag.

“Wha ta crappy sundae! Next time, I also want to force him to buy it for me…”

ShenDai Ying ate another spoonful and smacked her lips, the bitterness was too much so she just threw the entire sundae on the floor, casually tossed another two gold coins and left.

I just hope that this mission goes well…
