“You’ve added two more crimes to your list.” Elsa glanced at the mess around her and pointed a finger. “First, you were a scoundrel in front of the police. Second, you damaged a lot of police property.”

“Nonsense! I didn’t do the one in the back!” Mill immediately stood up to retort.

“I’m the police chief.” Elsa raised an eyebrow, blushing slightly as she put the panties she had snatched back into her pocket.

You're the police chief? I'm a princess, for crying out loud!

But it doesn't matter, since it's Eileen who's paying for it anyway.

Mir was about to leave as if nothing had happened, but Elsa stopped him again.

“Bail…” Elsa’s expression left no room for refusal.

“…Wait while I call someone.” Mir took out his communication crystal.

At Meichuxi Academy, Xia Ye frowned as she watched the match below. Because she didn't have much practical experience, she felt like she couldn't beat anyone, and even after winning a match, she still lacked confidence.

Xia Ye, focused on the game, didn't notice that several people in the highest stands weren't watching the game, but were looking at her instead.

"Are you sure?" Eileen asked the blue-haired young man sitting next to her.

"Hmm... an outsider has made a move." The blue-haired youth's expression was very serious. At this moment, he couldn't care less about exchanging sarcastic remarks with Eileen.

He looked at Xia Ye thoughtfully for a moment, then continued, "And in front of so many of us."

“I didn’t sense any magical fluctuations.” Eileen looked at the others and saw that they were also shaking their heads.

“Me too.” Love shrugged.

"So, the opponent might be a Rank A mysterious ability user?" Eileen bit her thumb nail again. "What's that person's purpose? To make this child win the competition? What's the point?"

“Perhaps they want her to enter the ruins?” said a tall, middle-aged man with red hair all over his body, who looked like a gorilla.

Love stroked his white beard: "So sneaky... we'd better not let this little girl into the ruins."

The blue-haired youth narrowed his eyes at Lof: "Are you so confident that rookie girl can achieve good results?"

Love gave him a disdainful look and said nothing. The blue-haired youth was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, but he didn't say anything more.

He had just reacted instinctively, but upon closer reflection, since that mysterious ability user had intervened once, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't interfere again. Judging from the guy's appearance, he didn't seem worried about being exposed.

Eileen waved her hand: "I will personally check her later to see if there is anything wrong with her. Don't be easily fooled."

Upon hearing this, those people didn't say anything more. They couldn't draw conclusions based on just this one thing. What if it was just a smokescreen? It wasn't impossible that his real purpose was something else.

However, they knew that they needed to be wary of a mysterious ability user lurking in the shadows, as such users were the most dangerous when they were in the dark.

Xia Ye, who was in the lounge, was unaware that the big shots had just had a discussion about her. All she could feel was her pockets shaking violently.

Xia Ye blushed and took out the communication crystal. She hated how this thing alerted her to incoming calls.

The call connected, and a familiar voice came through: "Emergency! Pick me up 500 meters away."

Summer Night: "???"

"I've been arrested by the police again! Quickly send 500 meters over here, I'll pay you back next time!"

"...Why didn't you borrow from someone else?" Xia Ye asked, puzzled.

“Because I haven’t paid them back yet,” Mil said matter-of-factly.

Xia Ye immediately wanted to hang up the phone. How dare this guy say that he hadn't paid back the money he borrowed?

Mir seemed to sense that Xia Ye was about to hang up the phone, and quickly shouted, "I'll pay you back when I win the championship!"

Xia Ye didn't hang up the phone. Although she had serious doubts about whether Mir could win the championship, this guy had indeed helped her a lot, and besides, he was Niu Niu's brother...

Five hundred meters is not a small sum for Xia Ye now; you have to understand that she only earned a little over two thousand during her last practical training...

Should we help or not?

--------

Fifteen minutes later, Mir followed Xia Ye out of the familiar police station, grumbling and cursing. Before leaving, Mir didn't forget to randomly smear some mustard on the toilet paper in the police station's restroom, wondering who would be the lucky winner.

Xia Ye sighed. In the end, she redeemed the guy. Anyway, his mother was the director, so even if he didn't pay back the money, she could ask her for it.

Looking up at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds and even rumbled thunder, a raindrop landed on her face just as Xia Ye looked up. As if it were a signal, more raindrops soon followed.

Summer Night and Mil silently retreated to the police station.

Xia Ye began to regret her actions; she shouldn't have come to bail this guy out! How was she going to get back to her dorm now?

"Would you like to come to my house?" Mil suggested. "My house isn't far from here; it'll only take a little while."

Xia Ye ignored the suggestion and went to borrow an umbrella from Elsa. There must be a lot of umbrellas in such a big police station.

But all she got in return was an awkward look from Elsa: "The umbrellas in the police station were just smashed... Why don't you move the tables on your heads and take them back?"

Chapter 180 Why didn't your sister come out for dinner?

At Eileen's house, Mil, soaking wet, led Xia Ye through the front door of the apartment building.

"I'm back," Mil greeted them as they entered.

Xia Ye, who was following behind him, hesitated for a moment before going inside as well.

"Sorry to bother you."

Hearing their voices, Eileen quickly peeked out from the kitchen and paused when she saw Xia Ye.

This brat brought two girls home in one day?

Mir's invitation to Xia Ye to his home was not just a casual remark. Just like in the morning, Mir had caused such a big mess this time that Eileen must be very angry. Bringing Xia Ye over would give Eileen something to keep in mind, so that she wouldn't scold him in front of outsiders.

Eileen was clearly less rude to Xia Ye than she was to Grey; in her eyes, Xia Ye was a good girl.

“…Welcome back.” After saying that, Eileen went back to cooking.

Although she really wanted to teach Mil a lesson, she obviously had to save face. As the saying goes, "Don't wash your dirty linen in public," so she had to suppress her desire to teach Mil a lesson for now.

Mir used his magic to dry his body, and Xia Ye followed suit and dried herself off as well.

Mir casually pulled up a stool and sat down, and also grabbed a stool for Xia Ye, but Xia Ye clearly seemed a little reserved, as she rarely visited other people's homes.

Looking around, Xia Ye realized that the Mir family was really rich. Not only was the space large, but it was also filled with various decorations that looked expensive.

There were many little gadgets that piqued Xia Ye's curiosity. If Mir hadn't been there, she might have gone over and started playing with them.

Speaking of which, Mil was adopted, right? What did that headmistress possibly find so appealing? And she even corrupted her daughter...

Oh, right! Niu Niu!

Xia Ye looked around but couldn't find the mischievous girl. However, there were clearly many traces of where the child had lived.

The children's clothes that looked like they had just been put away on the chair, the small toys on the table, and the small scarf that Eileen was probably knitting halfway on the sofa—all these things reminded Xia Ye of what a warm and loving family lived here.

She once had such a warm home...

Wait a minute? Why do I only see things and not people?

"Um..." Xia Ye hesitated for a moment, looking at Mir, before finally asking, "Where is your sister?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Mil looked at her in confusion. "Didn't I tell you I've never had a sister?"

Summer Night clearly didn't believe Mir's story. There were obvious signs of children living here, yet he said he didn't have a sister?

Just as Xia Ye was about to say something, Eileen's voice came from the kitchen: "Come and help serve the rice."

"Here it comes!" Mil, without a second thought, ran over happily. He was always very enthusiastic about things like food.

Xia Ye quickly went over to help, since it was someone else's house and she felt embarrassed to just stand by and watch without offering any assistance.

"Here, let me give you more." Eileen tried to add as much rice as possible to the bowl she had prepared for Xia Ye. She knew that the child was not used to being in this other world and that many things were difficult for him.

"Thank you... Sister." Xia Ye blushed as she accepted the rice that Eileen served her. She originally wanted to call her "Auntie," but looking at Eileen's young face, Xia Ye just couldn't bring herself to use the word "Auntie" on her.

Eileen smiled slightly and accepted the title without any qualms.

"Tsk, taking advantage of me again." Mil muttered unhappily.

"Alright, go eat your food." Eileen served Mir a bowl of rice and made him sit down obediently.

After the dishes were served, the three of them sat down at the table to eat. Xia Ye, however, was a little puzzled by this situation. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to ask about her doubts:

"Where's that child? Isn't she coming out for dinner?"

"Who?" Mil and Eileen stared at her, completely bewildered.

"That's Mir's sister." Xia Ye gestured with her hands to indicate the girl's height. "Isn't she coming for dinner?"

Eileen was stunned for a while before she understood what Xia Ye meant. Come to think of it, Mir had once spent time with this girl in his true form.

“She’s with her dad.” Eileen lied, a instinctive act of protection for Mil. She didn’t want too many people to know Mil’s secret; it was a mother’s way of protecting her daughter!

Mir easily rolled his eyes with his doll-like body, but he didn't refute it, just watching Eileen ramble on to Xia Ye.

Anyway, we've already told the truth, so it's your own fault for not believing it.

Eileen looked out the window and said to Xia Ye, "The rain isn't going to stop anytime soon, Xia Ye, why don't you stay here tonight?"

"Wouldn't that be too inconvenient?" Xia Ye asked politely.

“Yes, this is really bothering Lord Mir.” Mir said with dead fish eyes.

Eileen glared at Mil. Did this kid think he wasn't beaten because of someone?

"No, there are plenty of empty rooms here. I'll prepare one for you in a bit."

"Thank you, Sister Eileen," Xia Ye said somewhat awkwardly, still not quite used to visiting other people's homes.

Eileen's original plan was to beat Mil to tears and then feed her herself, but because Xia Ye was visiting, Eileen didn't do anything, and the three of them awkwardly finished the meal. No, Mil didn't feel awkward at all.

After dinner, Eileen went to an empty room to help Xia Ye tidy up. Although according to the hospitality customs of some places, Mir should give up the room for Xia Ye, Eileen really didn't want someone else to stay in her daughter's room for a night.

Xia Ye went to help Eileen tidy up her room; she felt embarrassed to have someone tidy up her room while she just stood by and watched.

Mir didn't help them. He secretly scooped up another bowl of rice, hid in his room, locked the door, and transformed back into his original form to eat.

"Awoo~ Awoo~ Awoo~" Mir puffed out his cheeks and chewed on the food in his mouth like a hamster.

"That person today..." The mermaid's voice suddenly appeared, almost startling Mir so much that she spat out the food in her mouth.

"Cough cough cough... What are you doing!" Mil angrily clenched his little fists and looked at his hands, only to find that his body did not have the fish-shaped tattoo.
