While eating delicious food, the chat continued, and Su Ming asked Anyi where the place full of hot water was.
Anyi answered while eating:
"About 500 miles west of Mermaid Village."
"500 miles?"
It's a bit far. I don't know why Anyi would run so far.
"I was very playful when I was a child." Anyi stuck out her tongue and said, "I went there again when I grew up, but it has returned to normal. If it weren't for the scar on my waist, I would have thought it was my memory.
Something went wrong."
Su Ming nodded. Although Anyi said that the hot water was gone, he still wanted to check it out and wait until the race is over this week.
The food was served faster and faster, and the two of them had no chance to talk, so they ate hard. Finally, Su Ming, Anyi and Su Ming's three pets all leaned on the chairs and rested with their hands on their stomachs...
Because the misunderstanding was resolved, the "blind date" mission no longer needed to be continued. Anyi took Su Ming directly back to the temple, found Jabilianne, and told the truth about the matter.
When Jibilian thought that she had misunderstood that such a young child liked her, she felt so embarrassed that she ran away.
Su Ming was about to chase after him when Anyi held him back. She said:
"My mother will run away every time she encounters something embarrassing. Don't worry about it. She will come back after a while."
————
Just as Anyi said, Jibilian came back on her own after a while. She coughed twice and interrupted Anyi who was teaching Su Ming how to play cards, indicating that she was back.
"Lord Jibilian," Su Ming said, "You already know what I'm thinking, so, can you show me that crown?"
"Yes." Jebillian said, "But if you want to destroy the crown, I can't agree to it."
"Is it okay if I take off the 'Heart of the Ocean Fragment' and replace it with other jewelry?" Su Ming tried to persuade Jibilian.
Jebillian shook her head and gave an irrefutable reason:
"That was left to me by my mother's mother's mother's mother. I can't let it be destroyed in my hands."
Su Ming came up with another way and said:
"Then if I just borrow it for a while and put it back after use, is that okay?"
However, in this case, Su Ming still needs to discuss it with Vidi.
Jebelian hesitated, neither agreeing nor rejecting immediately. She said:
"I'm not sure yet whether the shell on the crown is the 'Heart of the Ocean Fragment' you mentioned. Let me take you to see the crown first. Follow me."
Su Ming followed Jibilian, and An Yi also followed. She asked:
"Mom, where are the sisters?"
"They're playing outside the village again. They're often away from the temple these days. It's better for Anyi to spend time with her mother every day."
"Humph, if you weren't scared by that Naga King, you wouldn't have stayed in the temple honestly, mom."
"No way, at least I will pray in the temple for two hours and complete my daily work."
Jibilian chatted with Anyi, and took Su Ming to her bedroom. The room was luxuriously decorated, and there were some shameful clothes scattered everywhere. Jibilian lifted the quilt and covered all these clothes, her face was expressionless.
He changed his mind and swam to the dressing table, opened the drawer, and rummaged through it.
Su Ming saw Jibillian's rough look when she was looking for the crown, and suddenly felt that the crown didn't seem to be very important to her...
Suddenly, Jibillian screamed and turned around and said:
"My crown is missing! Anyi, have you seen mom's crown? I remember seeing it a few days ago."
After saying that, Jibillian lowered her head and rummaged through the cabinet again.
"Will it be placed somewhere else in the room?" Su Ming asked.
"It's possible. Anyi, you and your mother can look for it together."
"Okay...Okay." Anyi suddenly hesitated when speaking, wagging her big tail, and began to look at the bed. Su Ming called out the pet and started looking for it together.
Finally, three people and three pets searched the entire room, but no crown was found.
Jebillian sat on the bed in despair and muttered:
"What can we do about this? Although it's usually useless, Anyi, when you want to inherit the title of Saint in the future, you still need it to be worn on your head... Wuwuwu, it's over, you lost the crown.
Anyi, you may have to work to support yourself in the future, and no one in the village will support you anymore."
Su Ming had a dark look on his face when he heard this. Jibilian's mother was too unreliable. The outlook on life she instilled in Anyi seemed a bit incorrect...
Anyi patted Jibillian on the shoulder and said:
"Mom, don't worry too much. Maybe it will come back after you take a nap."
"Yes, this must be a nightmare." Jebillian fell directly onto the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and said, "I want to sleep quickly. I hope this is not true, woo woo woo."
Anyi helped to straighten the quilt and emphasized again:
"The crown will definitely come back, mom, you don't have to worry too much."
After saying that, Anyi pulled Su Ming up and was about to leave the bedroom, but Jibillian suddenly stood up and called Su Ming:
"Adventurer, please help me search outside the temple. If you can find it back, you can take away a shell or gem from it, but after taking it, you have to replace it with something else..."
System: Do you want to accept the random mission "The Stolen Crown"?
Su Ming naturally accepted it, and then asked:
"Do you have any clues? Mermaid Village is so big, you have to give me a direction."
Jebillian closed her eyes and meditated, thinking as she said:
"I've never been out of the temple these days... so I don't know. Maybe you can go to King Naga's palace to look for it? But it's unlikely, because I did see the crown in the past few days.
…
Anyway, I'm begging you.
By the way, you must not make it public. If the villagers find out, I will start working (referring to looking for the crown). Woohoo, I'm a useless fish who can't do anything except pray. It's better for me to go to work.
Just let me die... Adventurer, are you very rich, or..."
"Mom!" Anyi shouted: "Stop talking nonsense and go to bed quickly."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Got it, Anyi, please help me search in the temple." Jibilian said.
"I will, mom." Anyi opened the door and repeated for the third time: "The crown will definitely come back, don't worry too much."
"Well, remember to bring me food..."
Su Ming felt that Jebilian didn't seem very sad either... Ignoring the somewhat off-kilter Jebilian, Su Ming noticed that Anyi seemed to have something in her words.
After leaving the bedroom, Su Ming asked Anyi:
"Miss Anyi, do you know where the crown is? You seem to be very sure that the crown will return to your mother."
Anyi sighed. She knew where the crown was, but she couldn't tell Jibilian because her sister Peko had stolen the crown. She also couldn't tell Su Ming that her sister was a despicable thief.
, so, she shook her head and lied:
"That's just to comfort my mother. Spore, you should be careful when looking for the crown outside the village. Don't go to too dangerous places. I also want to check the temple, so I won't accompany you."
Su Ming felt that there was something hidden here, but Anyi had already said goodbye. He was worried that his favorability would be reduced, so he did not continue to pester him, so he prepared to leave and said goodbye:
