The villain daughter did all kinds of things

According to regulations, all seven magic-powered warships currently serving in the Federation Forces are still operational, so the new ship should be named Melson VIII.

But Miriam disagreed, saying the name was too old-fashioned and he insisted on naming it himself.

Considering that this magical warship is part of Milaine's dowry when she marries into the Shangying Kingdom, and that Milaine will personally serve as the captain in the future, it's not unreasonable to give her the naming rights.

Then Milaine pulled a fast one, feeding all the bachelors in the shipyard a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

During the grand naming ceremony of the new ship, he loudly proclaimed that this magical warship was a gift of love he was giving to Queen Amamiya Yuki of the Kingdom of Sakura, and therefore he would name it the Yuki-chan.

Everyone who attended the ceremony, including Emery, was speechless at Milaine's behavior, but they could only grit their teeth and accept it. The new magical warship was officially named the Snowy.

After the Snowy Aegean was completed, Milaine's dowry for marrying into the family was ready. The next step was to go to the Kingdom of Sakura to get married, and Milaine was already eagerly anticipating this.

This was a plan that had been set more than a month ago, and Amelie was naturally well-prepared.

When going to Shangying Kingdom, Emerald couldn't take everyone with her; she had to leave some people behind to look after things.

The company's daily operations need to be managed by someone, whether it's Bluestar Films or Myerson Entertainment's business.

Although the talents arranged by the family can be trusted in terms of ability and loyalty, there are still many things that need to be kept in mind by someone close to them.

Of all the women around Emery, the only one who is capable of fulfilling that role is Sulina.

Sulina is also an outstanding student at the Federal Noble Girls' Academy. She is very capable and has experience in running her own business.

Despite often being relegated to a chair next to Emery, Su Lina's official position is that of the president's assistant at Blue Star Films and Melson Entertainment. It's perfectly normal for the assistant to stay behind and oversee operations when the president is away.

Of course, Su Lina is capable of handling the company's daily operations, but she is ultimately a high-class beauty from a prestigious academy, and not very good at some of the dirty work in the shadows. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so easily manipulated by someone in the first place.

Therefore, Viliana, who had always been responsible for doing the dirty work for Ameliete, also had to stay behind to look after the house. She would work with Edith and the other elven girls to secretly resolve some issues that were difficult to handle according to the rules, and this wasn't the first time Viliana had done something like this.

Sulina and Viliana had long since pledged their complete loyalty to Emerald, doing whatever Emerald asked them to do, and naturally had no objections to Emerald's arrangements.

But Julia was different. After learning that Emeryte didn't plan to take her to Shangying Kingdom, she sulked for several days.

"You're definitely planning to secretly go and flirt with Japanese girls behind my back! Humph, you scumbag!"

No matter how Amelie tried to reason with Julia, Julia would only say the same thing.

After trying to persuade her many times without success, Amelie had no choice but to resort to seduction. Every night, she would tie Julia up with invisible ribbons and hang her up to torment her, satisfying her desires thoroughly before finally persuading her to stay and watch the house.

The stated reason is that Emerald now has a large and powerful family, and a strong person must be in charge to keep the troublemakers in check.

That's not actually the case at all. Emerald is no longer in the trial phase of starting a business; she is now the owner of the Ring of Melson and can fully utilize family resources—for example, borrowing some armed forces from Melson Security to protect her business. There's no need for Julia to stay behind to guard the house.

The real reason why Amelie couldn't take Julia with her to the Kingdom of Sakura wasn't because she wanted to secretly play with Japanese girls there, but because the old witch, Granny Amelie, was also going.

Although Julia has been greatly influenced by Emerald, she still retains her bottom line regarding justice.

The old witch Granny Ya's actions were pure chaos and evil, which Yulia could never tolerate.

If the two meet, a conflict is inevitable.

That was a scene that Amelie absolutely did not want to see, so she would never allow the two to meet until she had the ability to forcefully mediate between the old lich and Julia.

Therefore, the people who will eventually go to Sakura Country with Emerald are Marcy and Flora.

Marcy is Emerald's personal maid and the foundation of the young lady's status and prestige. Under normal circumstances, she follows Emerald wherever she goes.

Flora, on the other hand, fought for this opportunity herself. She wanted to broaden her horizons on this journey and see if she could find a breakthrough.

Apart from Amelie and her two companions, everyone else in the fleet was Milaine's man.

Every year during the Lunar New Year, Milain would return to the Allen Federation to bring back a large number of Eastern specialties from Shangying Kingdom and sell them throughout the Federation. At the same time, he would also take a large number of Federation specialties with him when he left, and then sell them at high prices in Shangying Kingdom—this was his main job.

Milley's fleet consists of five ships, two of which are purely surface warships. The weapons on board are updated every year and are more advanced than the main warships currently in service with the Federation Navy.

The remaining three are cargo ships, each with a displacement of around 100,000 tons. While they may seem smaller than the giant cargo ships on Earth in Amelie's previous life, their actual carrying capacity is much greater.

Because this world has magic and spatial storage technology, it's not as exaggerated as the fantasy novels on Earth where a single ring can hold countless resources, but compressing tens of cubic meters of space into a small box of only about one cubic meter is still possible.

Therefore, the actual loading capacity of each of these three cargo ships is around 3 million tons. The cargo transported by these three cargo ships each time they cross the White Sea is enough to be traded in the Federation or Shangying Kingdom for a long time.

Among Milain's crew members, besides Milain herself, there are two other Fusion-stage powerhouses who have been working with Milain for many years. They are both good friends that Milain made during her early travels.

Although these two powerful individuals at the Fusion stage are both male, they are a legally married couple who are registered with each other. They each command a surface warship, and both of their abilities are well-suited for naval warfare.

Amelie met them once when she boarded the ship. She was very polite and did not put on any airs of a young lady. Instead, she treated them as friends of her elders and called them "uncle" very naturally.

In return, the two experts at the Fusion stage were also very friendly to Amelie, and they didn't put on any airs of elders, both respectfully addressing Amelie as "Young Miss".

In addition to the original five ships in the fleet, an additional magic warship was added to the air for this voyage.

Milion, like a big boy who has just received a new toy, chose to live on his magical warship, the Snowy.

However, Emery didn't stay on the Snow. Firstly, she wasn't particularly interested in magical warships, and secondly, a warship is, after all, a warship. The facilities and spaces on board are primarily designed to meet combat needs, so it's impossible to provide luxurious and spacious rooms for people to enjoy... Even the captain's cabin was just more exquisitely decorated, and the area was still not large.

The other two surface warships were in the same situation, so Emerald ultimately chose one of the three cargo ships to stay in.

Furthermore, Emery specifically requested that a cargo warehouse of approximately 200 square meters be emptied, and warned the crew members on board that they must not approach it under any circumstances, or they would be responsible for their own lives.

The crew members were naturally puzzled by this situation, but they could only obey the young lady's orders, though they couldn't help but grumble among themselves.

This matter quickly reached Milain's ears.

The crew didn't know what was going on, but Milaine certainly did—the very mysterious and powerful figure in the family, the 'grandmother' that Amelie mentioned, was most likely in that cargo hold.

Although Millein knew that Amelie's instructions to the crew must have been reasonable, and that the old man was probably very difficult to deal with, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity and decided to go and see who this mysterious powerhouse really was.

Unfortunately, Milain simply didn't have the talent to be an undercover investigator; his sneaky operation was caught red-handed by Emery before it even began.

"What are you doing, Uncle?"

Emery seemed very annoyed and deliberately tried to scare Milain:

"Didn't I tell you? Your mother-in-law doesn't like being disturbed. If you anger her, your queen wife might become a widow before you even get married!"

"Hehe... I was just curious~~"

Milain could only feign ignorance and chuckle a few times before scratching his head and preparing to leave.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang in Emerald's ear:

"So it's this kid...tsk tsk, I remember him. Let him in, it's been pretty boring on the way anyway."

"Yes, Mother-in-law."

Emery first obediently responded, then looked at Milaine with some curiosity:

"My mother-in-law said she's seen you before? Come in."

"Hey?"

Milain was also taken aback for a moment, and at the same time, he quickly searched his memory to recall when he had seen such a mysterious and powerful person.

Even after entering the warehouse, Milaen still couldn't remember.

This cargo hold is located in a corner at the rear of the cargo ship. It was originally an ordinary cargo hold that could hold about 200 containers, each about one cubic meter in size.

Now, however, it has been completely transformed beyond recognition. The moment Milain walked in, his magic power almost burst forth, but he quickly controlled it again.

There's no way around it, because this place now looks too much like the lair of some great demon.

The alloy plates on the floor, walls, and ceiling were completely gone, now covered in rotting flesh that reeked of death, interspersed with numerous bones.

However, this room, filled with rotting flesh and bones, had no stench of corpses; instead, it had a faint floral fragrance, just like a girl's boudoir.

Moreover, aside from the frightening feeling of being surrounded by rotting flesh and bones, the room's layout is quite stylish.

The arrangement of various furniture pieces, such as beds, wardrobes, dressing tables, and desks, is very tasteful. These pieces are not made of bone; they also incorporate various precious and beautiful jewels, including a gold chair inlaid with at least hundreds of gemstones.

A humanoid skeleton, as white and lustrous as jade, sat languidly in the golden chair. Although there was no flesh left on her skull, it still retained the signature long pink hair of the Melson bloodline.

Sensing the powerful magical aura emanating from the pink-haired skeleton, Milion's expression changed. He finally remembered something from the past and understood why the old lich had said he had seen him before.

With a wry smile, Milion obediently bowed to the old lich:

"I've met you, Mother-in-law... I offended you last time because I was ignorant. Please forgive me, I'm so magnanimous."

"It doesn't matter."

The old lich merely glanced at Milion a few times, then seemed uninterested:

"Hmm, an interesting young man, but not as fun as Ellie... Now that you've met me, remember to take Ellie's instructions to heart and tell your crew not to wander around here unless necessary, otherwise my undead legion won't mind having another zombie or skeleton soldier."

"Yes, Mother-in-law, I understand."

The old lich was just sitting and talking casually, but Milion seemed to be under a lot of pressure, and was already sweating profusely.

Seeing that the old lich was no longer paying attention to him, Milion didn't dare to stay any longer. He immediately made an excuse that he had to go inspect other places and fled the warehouse as if he were escaping.

Only when she could no longer feel the aura of death did Milaen let out a long sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from her face with her sleeve.

"Uncle, have you ever offended your mother-in-law before?"

Amelie's voice rang in Millein's ears, and when he turned around, he met a pair of curious blue eyes.

"...Who hasn't been young and impetuous at some point?"

Milain shrugged, not bothering to hide anything:

“Little Ellie, you know I’ve been involved in the family’s shipping business for a long time, and in shipping, you inevitably have to deal with pirates… I had a few good friends when I was young, but they died at the hands of pirates.”

"So after breaking through to the fusion stage, I had an idea, and I actually put that idea into action—to annihilate the pirate island."

Chapter 244 Using a magical girl to fish for a tentacle monster?

"puff."

Emery couldn't help but burst out laughing:

"Annihilate the pirate island? I never thought you, Uncle, could be so childish... no, I mean so innocent and adorable."

"What's wrong with young people being naive? Didn't you ever have a moment of naivety, Ellie?"

Milain retorted, unconvinced:

"After you broke through to the Fusion Stage Mage, didn't you ever have that feeling of 'my fate is in my own hands'? Or that you wanted to kill all the thieves and robbers in the world?"

"No."

Emery shook her head decisively, giving Milaine a strange look:

"Kill all the thieves and robbers in the world? Why would I have such a naive idea? If thieves and robbers were really wiped out, what would be the use of the federal police? Without a violent institution to maintain order, why would the people pay taxes to the federal government? In the end... taxes are a kind of protection fee. If we don't need protection, who will pay protection fees? If the state were to use its power to eradicate those small fry like thieves and robbers, it could absolutely wipe them out, but why isn't it done?"

"...Tsk, Ellie, you're not cute at all."

Milain was utterly speechless, and muttered under her breath:

"What's wrong with men being a little naive? Men are boys until they die! A boring girl like you, Ellie, is destined to only be a heartbreaker for other girls; you'll never get married..."

"Uncle, what did you say?"

Emery heard everything clearly and immediately glared at him.

"It's nothing, it's nothing..."

Milaine quickly waved her hand, trying to run away.

"Hey, hey, hey... Uncle, don't go yet!"

Emerald grabbed him and blinked rapidly:

"Tell me about your story of trying to wipe out the pirate island back then. I'm really curious."

"...Tsk, Ellie, you're still up to no good. Even if you try to act cute, you can't hide the fact that you want to see me make a fool of myself!"

Milain clicked her tongue and complained for a while, but still didn't force her way out. Instead, she showed a look of reminiscence for a few seconds before saying:

"I think I was not even 35 years old at that time. Anyway, I had just broken through to the integration stage. I was full of confidence and wanted to do something great."

"At that time, I had been traveling the oceans with my family's fleet for quite some time and knew how much harm pirates could cause to merchant ships... Although most pirates did not dare to cause us trouble, there would always be some who would take risks for profit, and there were too many to kill."

"So I thought, could we just wipe out those pirates' lair? Even if we can't completely eliminate them, we can at least severely damage them. I heard that there's only a mysterious cultivator at the Fusion stage overseeing the pirate island, so I didn't think it was a big deal and led my men to launch a full-scale attack..."

"And then your mother-in-law beat you up?"

Emery immediately revealed a gloating expression.

"More or less... but I didn't actually meet my mother-in-law in person at the time."

Milley shrugged:

"At first, I was quite cool, killing many pirates on the island, but I never saw that legendary mysterious expert make a move... So I provoked him a bit, saying that he was a coward who dared not fight."
