Chapter 177: Eat whatever is delicious, sleep whenever it’s comfortable. “Ugh... delicious... so delicious...!” Without knowing when, Luoqi was already holding a piece of dessert, nibbling on it and showing an expression of happiness that seemed as though she was about to cry. That expression, one had to say, was yet another breathtaking view. Shane felt somewhat unwilling to accept it. Even though he knew this Princess was not as perfect as she seemed to outsiders, being with her still often led to being charmed by her spontaneous actions and behaviors which was really something else. “After all, attractive people, no matter what they do, are a pleasure to behold, while the unattractive can only play the fool.” Otherwise, why would there be a saying like “ugly people play the most tricks”? While Shane mused on this, he also picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite. Immediately after, Shane was surprised. “This taste... is truly exceptional.” A sweetness he had never experienced before, along with a flavor that tantalized his taste buds, spread throughout Shane’s mouth, prompting him to take another bite. “So that’s it, I can understand why this dessert is so expensive.” It was not just because of its magical effects, but also because it was undeniably delicious, far surpassing anything Shane had tasted to date. Furthermore, with its extravagant appearance and subtly elegant texture, what was said to be an advanced delicacy for Nobles didn’t seem to be just talk. After all, even Luoqi was saying things like that. “I’ve lived for this moment.” That phrase alone could make the citizens who were crazy about it run in tears. “It seems, from now on, I’ll have to be a regular customer.” Shane sighed with this resolution. This showed just how extraordinary the taste of the dessert was. And regarding Shane’s realization, Luoqi was naturally overjoyed. “Then remember to bring me some more in the future!” Luoqi quickly instructed him. “Although you are beautiful, what you’re thinking is even more beautiful.” Shane rolled his eyes and said, “Do you know how expensive this thing is? To bring you some regularly?” Shane didn’t have that much money. So, unfortunately, he couldn’t afford to keep this woman, Luoqi. “You talk about money at a time like this?” Luoqi said with incredulity. “I’ve helped you so much without asking for money!” “That’s true,” Shane countered. “But the troubles you’ve brought me are plenty, we’re even.” “You, man...” Luoqi was almost furious. However, she didn’t dwell on it. After all, she had already somewhat grasped Shane’s lifeline. It might not be possible to force him to do something big, but getting him to compromise on something of this magnitude shouldn’t be difficult. Therefore, with thoughts of “there’s plenty of time in the future,” Luoqi muttered a few words of dissatisfaction before she changed the subject. “Nothing’s happened on your end these past few days, right?” Luoqi was referring to something that Shane understood. “Are you talking about Tielle?” Shane confirmed. “And you too.” Luoqi said irritatedly, “With that big commotion you caused last time in the Royal Palace and involving me in this matter, as another person involved, you must have had your fair share of troubles caused by those Nobles from the Royal Capital, right?” “So you’re somewhat aware.” Shane raised an eyebrow, a smile that was not quite a smile on his face, “Then why didn’t I see you coming out to help me?” “How can I help you?” Luoqi sighed, “If I personally intervened to help you, that would make the Nobles even more hostile towards you.” That was also true. If Luoqi had personally helped Shane, those Nobles would definitely recognize that the relationship between Shane and Luoqi was even closer than they had imagined. In that case, there might not be any problems for the moment, but surely more troubles would follow. Knowing this, Luoqi still chose to stand by and watch despite being aware of these events. “With your abilities, you should be able to handle things of this level without any problems, and if all else fails, you still have the Pendant I gave you.” Luoqi had this in mind when letting Shane deal with these issues on his own. But... “Really? Take out that Pendant and that’s when the real trouble starts, right?” Shane was at a loss for words. Knowing that Luoqi could give him the Pendant meant their relationship was not just a bit closer. If those Noble young masters didn’t have an Explosion on the spot, Shane would be willing to write his name backwards. “So, you’re not considering giving it back?” Shane looked expectantly at Luoqi. “You... this guy...” Luoqi instantly became even more irritated. That was a direct Token of the Royal Family. Having it meant receiving the recognition and trust of the Royal bloodline and the right to act as a spokesperson for the Royal Family. It was an honor others could not even beg for, yet this man kept treating it as the source of trouble, which was infuriating. “Never mind, with or without anyone’s help, you should be able to do just fine. Those who oppose you are probably the ones who will end up infuriated to death.” Luoqi had fully understood this and huffed lightly, “Let’s not talk about you anymore. How is Tielle doing?” “She’s...” Shane shrugged his shoulders and said, “She should be doing well.” “What do you mean by ‘should’?” Luoqi asked directly, “Can’t you speak more clearly?” “Tielle is doing fine now, eating and sleeping well, and she still goes to the streets every day to torment some wild monsters. She’s living a rich life without any issues. Understand now?” Shane curled his lips but then hesitated for a moment, “You said last time that you have a deep friendship with Tielle, is that because you’re both Descendants of the Brave?” “You already know this?” Luoqi first paused, then fixed her gaze on Shane, “Did Tielle tell you all this?” “Yes.” Shane said, “Although there are some things I don’t know, she told me about the identity part last time we were bathing together in the great bathhouse of the Lazahad family.” “Turns out she trusts you more than I thought.” Luoqi nodded, and then suddenly gasped after a moment. “Wait!” Luoqi’s eyes widened with an exclamation, “What did you just say? Where was it that she told you this?” “Never mind the details.” Shane replied with an unconcerned attitude, “Let’s get to the point. I’m actually quite concerned about Tielle’s matters right now.” “I’m very interested in the thing you just mentioned! How could I possibly not be concerned!?” Luoqi’s composure finally broke as she stood up and glared at Shane snarlingly, “What did you do to that child? Explain everything to me!” “What do you mean, ‘what did I do’? Don’t make it sound so unpleasant!” Shane frowned, looking disdainfully at Luoqi, “It’s just bathing together. We bathe together every day! Why are you making such a fuss?” “You... you...” Luoqi opened her mouth in disbelief, and after a moment, she said regretfully, “I almost forgot, she may look cold on the outside, but in fact, her temperament is quite indifferent. She hardly guards against those she truly trusts from the heart—even if it’s the opposite sex, bathing together might indeed be something she’d do.” At this moment, Luoqi looked like someone who had personally pushed her friend into the fire pit, her expression full of despondency and regret.
