Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 426 The Stolen Crown

While eating delicious food, the conversation continued, and Su Ming asked An Yi where the place full of hot water was.

An Yi answered while eating:
"About 500 miles west of the Mermaid Village."

"Five hundred miles?"

This is a bit far. I don’t know why An Yi wanted to run so far.

"I was very playful when I was little." An Yi stuck out her tongue and said, "I went there again when I grew up, but it had returned to normal. If it weren't for the scar on my waist, I would have thought my memory was wrong."

Su Ming nodded. Although An Yi said that the hot water was gone, he still wanted to check it out. He would wait until the race was over this week.

The dishes were served faster and faster, and the two of them had no chance to talk. They just buried their heads in their food. In the end, Su Ming, An Yi, and Su Ming's three pets all leaned back in their chairs, resting their hands on their stomachs...

Because the misunderstanding was resolved, the "blind date" mission no longer needed to continue. An Yi took Su Ming directly back to the temple, found Jebilian, and told her the truth of the matter.

When Jebilian thought that she had misunderstood that such a young child liked her, she felt so embarrassed that she ran away.

Just as Su Ming was about to chase after him, An Yi stopped him and said:
"Whenever my mother encounters an embarrassing situation, she will run away. Don't worry about it. She will come back after a while."

----

Just as An Yi said, Jiebilian came back by herself after a while. She coughed twice, interrupting An Yi who was teaching Su Ming how to play cards, to indicate that she was back.

"Lady Jebilian," Su Ming said, "You already know what I'm thinking, so can you show me the crown?"

"Okay." Jabilian said, "But if you want to destroy the crown, I can't agree to it."

"If we take down the 'Fragment of Ocean Heart' and replace it with other jewels, is that okay?" Su Ming tried to persuade Jebilian.

Jabilian shook her head and gave an irrefutable reason:

"My mother's mother's mother...my mother left it to me. I can't let it be destroyed in my hands."

Su Ming came up with another idea and said:

"What if I just borrow it for a while and put it back after I'm done with it? Is that okay?"

However, in this case, Su Ming still needs to discuss it with Weidi.

Jabilian hesitated a little. She didn't agree or refuse immediately. She said:

"I'm not sure if the shell on the crown is the 'fragment of the heart of the ocean' you mentioned. I'll take you to see the crown first. Follow me."

Su Ming followed behind Jiebilian, and An Yi followed too. She asked:

"Mom, where are my sisters?"

"They are out of the village again. They are often not in the temple these days. An Yi is the best. She accompanies her mother every day."

"Humph, if you hadn't been scared by that Naga King, you wouldn't have stayed in the temple so obediently, Mom."

"No, at least I will pray in the temple for two hours and complete my daily work."

While chatting with An Yi, Jiebilian took Su Ming to her bedroom. The room was luxuriously decorated, and there were some embarrassing clothes scattered everywhere. Jiebilian lifted the quilt to cover all the clothes, swam to the dressing table without changing her expression, opened the drawer, and rummaged through it.

Su Ming saw how rudely Jabilian looked when she was looking for the crown, and suddenly felt that the crown didn't seem to be very important to her...

Suddenly, Jabilian screamed and turned around and said:

"My crown is gone! An Yi, have you seen mom's crown? I remember seeing it a few days ago."

After saying that, Jebilian lowered her head and searched in the cabinet again.

"Could it be placed somewhere else in the room?" Su Ming asked.

"It's possible. An Yi, you and mom can look for it together."

"Okay...Okay." An Yi suddenly hesitated when speaking, wagged his big tail, and began to look through the bed. Su Ming called out his pet and started looking too.

Finally, the three people and three pets searched the entire room but still couldn't find the crown.

Jiebilian sat on the bed in despair, muttering:
"What should I do? Although it's useless in normal times, when you inherit the title of Saint, you need it on your head... Woohoo, it's over. If you lose the crown, you may have to work to support yourself in the future. There will no longer be anyone in the village to support you."

Su Ming was very upset when he heard this. Jiebilian was such an unreliable mother. The outlook on life she instilled in An Yi seemed a little wrong...

An Yi patted Jebilian 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." Jabilian fell directly onto the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and said, "I want to go to sleep quickly. I hope all this is not real, wuwuwuwu."

An Yi helped to smooth the quilt and emphasized again:
"The crown will definitely come back, mom, you don't have to worry too much."

After saying that, An Yi pulled Su Ming up and prepared to leave the bedroom, but Jiebilian suddenly stood up and called Su Ming:

"Adventurer, please help me look outside the temple. If you can find it, you can take a shell or a gem from it, but you have to replace it with something else..."

System: Do you accept the random mission "The Stolen Crown"?
Su Ming naturally accepted it, and then asked:
"Do you have any clues? The Mermaid Village is so big, you have to give me a direction."

Jabilian closed her eyes and thought, saying:

"I have never left the temple these days... so I don't know. Maybe you can go to the Naga King's palace to look for it? But that's unlikely, because I have indeed seen a crown these days...

Anyway, please.

Oh, by the way, you must not tell anyone. If the villagers find out, I will have to start working (referring to finding a crown). Woohoo, I am a useless fish who can't do anything except praying. It would be better for me to die than to work... Adventurer, are you very rich? Otherwise..."

"Mom!" An Yi shouted, "Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep."

"Woo woo woo, I got it. Anyi, please help me look for it in the temple too." said Jebilian.

"I will, Mom." An Yi 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 Jiebilian didn't seem very sad... Ignoring Jiebilian who was a little out of touch, Su Ming noticed that An Yi seemed to have something else to say.

After leaving the bedroom, Su Ming asked An Yi:

"Ms. An Yi, do you know where the crown is? You seem quite sure that the crown will be returned to your mother."

An Yi sighed. She knew where the crown was, but she couldn't tell Jabilian because it was stolen by her sister Peko. She also couldn't tell Su Ming that her sister was a despicable thief. So, she shook her head and lied:
"That was just words to comfort my mother. Spore, you should be careful when you look for the crown outside the village. Don't go to too dangerous places. I also have to check the temple, so I can't accompany you."

Su Ming felt that there was something hidden here, but An Yi had already asked him to leave, so he was worried that his favorability would decrease. Therefore, he did not continue to pester her and prepared to leave, saying goodbye:

"If you need my help, please let me know."

"Ok, I will."
