Chapter 104: Wishing Xiaxia a Delicious Meal

“Hehe, the Goblins must be totally dazed!”

Zhu Qiu chuckled to herself.

She never expected she’d use this move.

The small magic she used on Dinksway was something she’d learned from Ilanka, and she’d have to thank her properly once she returned to the Dragon Race Imperial Palace.

Now that the house was safe and her father had been rescued, the only family member left was her younger brother, Sote.

Zhu Qiu felt a wave of irritation whenever she thought of him now.

He was a selfish brat, and she had finally seen through his true colors.

With the aid of high-speed flight magic, Zhu Qiu flew to the border of the Human Race and Dragon Race territories without breaking a sweat.

However, a question suddenly popped into her mind: where had the house been teleported to? It didn’t seem like Zhu Xiaxia had told her the exact location. She decided to make a call.

“Hello? Is Zhu Xiaxia there?”

“I’m here, I’m here! Does my precious daughter miss her mother again? When you get home, Mother will give you lots of kisses, hugs, and lift you up high~”

“Ugh.”

Zhu Xiaxia was the same as ever, not changing one bit.

“Zhu Xiaxia, where did you teleport the house?”

“The house? It’s in the Central Area, of course. There are mountains, water, rivers, and forests. It’s a prime piece of real estate.”

“Didn’t I say to put it on the edge?”

“The edge is so dangerous! It’s much safer inside.”

Zhu Qiu was speechless.

Had Zhu Xiaxia’s airheaded brain misunderstood her?

It wasn’t like she hadn’t been here before; the last time was when she was escaping.

At night, the wind wasn’t just loud—it was terrifying.

Moreover, there were Green-skinned Tyrannosauruses roaming about.

If the Sword Spirit hadn’t helped her, she might have ended up as dragon-meat bun filling.

As for why she had chosen the border region, it was because she had visited it many times and discovered that there were neither humans nor dragons there.

It looked dangerous, but in reality, it was much safer than the lakeside in the middle of the forest.

“Don’t do that! I wouldn’t dare let my father live in such a dangerous place.”

But Zhu Xiaxia had already ended the call.

‘And here I thought Zhu Xiaxia was reliable. I guess she’s just like this.’

There was nothing she could do.

Zhu Qiu had to make do for now.

She grabbed Sodlan and flew high into the sky, heading toward the lake.

After a short while, she spotted the house.

She descended and made a smooth landing.

She settled Sodlan into his bed.

To her surprise, as soon as he lay down, Sodlan opened his eyes.

“Fa… Father, you’re awake.”

“Son, what just happened? I felt like my head was hit hard, and then I blacked out.”

“It’s nothing. The Goblin, Dinksway, was trying to hunt us down, so I just took you and ran away.”

“Is that so?”

Sodlan sat up and looked around at the familiar surroundings, looking surprised.

“Is this… our house? I thought the house vanished into thin air? Are we still in the Human Territory? Is the King coming to tear the house down in a moment?”

Panic was evident in Sodlan’s eyes.

Zhu Qiu, on the other hand, looked relaxed and happy.

“Father, all of that is in the past. I’ve already moved the house somewhere else. As for how I moved it… that’s a secret. Anyway, this isn’t the Human City, nor is it under human jurisdiction. You don’t have to worry about the house being demolished anymore, and we don’t have to fear the King using his power to threaten us.”

Sodlan nodded to show he understood, but a new question arose—if this wasn’t the Human Territory, then where was it?

“Son, you didn’t move the house here without getting permission from another country, did you? If we’re found out, we’re still doomed.”

“Don’t worry!”

Zhu Qiu patted her small chest.

“All the moving procedures were legal and compliant. Just live your life in peace.”

Seeing Zhu Qiu being vague, Sodlan began to state his stance: “If you don’t explain it clearly, I won’t feel at ease.”

“Then… Alright. This is actually the Dragon Territory.”

Zhu Qiu couldn’t think of another excuse on short notice, so she could only tell the truth.

“The Dragon Race? The territory of the most powerful race in the world?”

Sodlan didn’t know much about the Dragon Race, but he knew they were strong, and offending them would never end well.

“Yes, but don’t worry. I’ve already discussed it with them. It’ll be absolutely fine.”

“Is it possible that those dragons want to eat us?”

Sodlan continued, “I had a dream when I was unconscious. I dreamed I was caught by a Young Dragon, and she carried me into the sky before finally throwing me into a big pot. It felt like a prophetic dream; I think it’s better if we leave.”

“How is that possible? Dreams are always the opposite. You dreamed the Dragon Race wanted to eat you, so in reality, that definitely won’t happen. Besides, if they wanted to eat us, wouldn’t they just do it with a flick of their wrist? We’re alive and well right now, aren’t we? Plus, the Dragon Race is so strong, I believe they’ll keep their word.”

Sodlan lowered his head and was silent for a while before slowly speaking: “True, I have nowhere else to go anyway. If the house is gone, my life will have no meaning.”

“Right, right, right. So it’s best to just settle down.”

“Yeah.”

He didn’t want to think about why his son could be on good terms with the Dragon Race.

Although it was absurd, Soran was a Sword Saint, and there was nothing she couldn’t do.

“Um… Father, you rest in the room first. I’ll go prepare dinner for you.”

“Okay.”

Zhu Qiu walked out of the room, closed the door, and let out a long sigh of relief.

“It’s okay, everything is okay. But it’s better to be careful tonight.”

God only knew if there were Green-skinned Tyrannosauruses around here.

It was better to be safe than sorry.

It looked like she wouldn’t be getting any sleep tonight.

She walked to the kitchen to see if there were any vegetables in the refrigerator.

When she opened it, it was empty.

“Fine.”

Even if there were, Zhu Qiu didn’t know how to cook, so she would just have to make porridge again.

She pulled out the rice bag, but it was unexpectedly empty.

Zhu Qiu scratched her head.

‘I remember there was still half a bag of rice left when I made porridge last time. How is it gone?’

When she lifted the rice bag completely, she discovered a hole at the bottom.

A very fat rat scurried out from the corner of the wall and quickly ran out of the house.

“Wait… The rice was stolen by a rat?”

“No! I don’t want to go hungry!”

After a moment of agitation, Zhu Qiu forced herself to calm down.

At this point, to get a warm meal, she could only use that move.

She walked cautiously to the living room, used a table to block her father’s bedroom door, and then tiptoed out of the house to a spot where she was sure he couldn’t hear her.

Then, she opened the communication channel with Zhu Xiaxia.
