Chapter 172: The Gift from the King of Aolai (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)
"Yo, hello there."
A young girl clad in golden armor emerged, her name was Garuda, the daughter of the King of Aolai, and also the sister of Kong.
"Are you from the outside? Where is Yadun, how is it, is it fun?"
"Er..."
Hailbo: "Our Yadun is certainly a good place."
"I want to go, I want to go, I want to see it. I've been all over The State of Myriad Monsters, and it's so boring."
Garuda's figure vanished in an instant, and before anyone knew it, she had appeared behind Hailbo: "You're about to go back, right? How about taking me with you?"
"Garuda, stop messing around."
The King of Aolai spoke up to help Hailbo out of his predicament when he didn't know how to answer: "For a Legend like yourself to approach another nation unannounced, that is no different from declaring war."
"That can't be, Dad, didn't you sign a military alliance with Yadun?"
"Since it's a military alliance, then military pass rights should be included," Garuda said. "If I walk around Yadun and notify Your Majesty Adun beforehand and he agrees, it's perfectly reasonable."
"You're unreliable."
Kong, standing at the side, directly punctured Garuda's argument: "When asked to look after the fields, you eat the produce yourself, when put in charge of the people, you lead them in foolishness, even delivering a package, you can send it to the wrong place."
In summary, Garuda, with you being so useless, what's the point of having you?
"Your Majesty Adun doesn't know your nature, and once you cause trouble, he will surely regret it."
Aolai Kong: "When the time comes, how will our father explain it to him?"
"What do you mean he will definitely regret it!"
"Do you want to fight, you stinky monkey!"
However, Kong simply shook his head, standing with his hands behind his back, ignoring her completely, which infuriated Garuda to the point of exploding with rage.
Concerning these two daughters, the King of Aolai also felt helpless. He looked towards Hailbo: "For the people you need, I will have Susu take charge. From now on, your people should negotiate with her."
Without meddling in domestic affairs, the woman named Susu, dressed in white with black hair, stood beside the King of Aolai.
Her demon shape was that of a white snake, and she was also the youngest daughter of the King of Aolai.
"Princess Susu."
Hailbo looked at Susu, who promptly curtseyed in response, displaying the demeanor of a noble lady: "The people of Aolai suffer in poverty, if Yadun is willing to share some of the burden, it would be a fortunate thing."
Princess Susu seemed to care greatly about the survival of the Aolai citizens.
Hailbo was also very concerned; he had only become a Miracle Citizen not long ago, so he still empathized with the hardships of mortals.
"Please rest assured, Princess Susu, our King will surely treat these new citizens of Yadun well."
Unlike dealings with the Immortal Hawk, the exchange between Yadun and Aolai was mutual aid without cost.
Having formed a military alliance, the King of Aolai would naturally do his utmost to help Yadun.
In essence, whatever Yadun lacked, all you need is to ask.
Whatever you lack, I will provide!
"However, our Yadun can't take in too many Aolai people right now," Hailbo said. "How about we start with an immigration of 30,000?"
This number was one that Hailbo had previously discussed with his uncle.
"Alright, alright."
Seeing the two starting to talk endlessly, the King of Aolai interrupted: "This is a family banquet, we haven't even finished eating, how did we start talking about national affairs?"
The King of Aolai was top-notch at warfare, great at conquest, but he didn't like to meddle in internal affairs.
"Father!"
Susu was somewhat dissatisfied, but the King of Aolai's eyes widened, "Just wait a moment, we have plenty of time for that later, I've been holding back for so long!"
"Her, yes, it's her."
As the King of Aolai looked towards Hailbo, his gaze fell on Cat Lulu perched on his shoulder, "Quick, let your little cutie perform a transformation for this king."
"Hm?"
Hailbo was perplexed, he turned his head to make eye contact with Cat Lulu, both completely confused.
"Your Majesty, Lulu, does not know Transfiguration Spell."
Hailbo said, "She's just a cat and cannot transform into a cat woman like those under your command."
"What do I need a cat woman for! Not cute at all."
"Ah?"
Hailbo felt he must have misheard, as the King of Aolai had just said something that completely contradicted his public persona.
Cute?
What's cute?
"Didn't Saros tell you?"
"Tell, tell me what?"
"About my favorite thing!"
The King of Aolai's favorite thing, Hailbo was bewildered, and he asked, puzzled, "Do you like, cats?"
Hailbo remembered what General Ganglie had mentioned to him earlier: 'There's a big shot who might really like this kind of creature.'
Moreover, both Aolai Kong and Liu Er seemed hesitant when they first saw Cat Lulu.
"No, no, no, I don't like cats."
The King of Aolai's face flushed red, though he was a king, a true king dares to openly express his desires, "What I love is that kind, that fluffy and cute creature!"
When saying 'fluffy', the King of Aolai even made a gesture, he actually gestured!
"Uh..."
At this moment, Hailbo's face was full of question marks; he had no idea what the King of Aolai was talking about.
No, no, no!
Hailbo understood, but he simply couldn't accept it at the moment.
Hailbo: 'You like what? Fluffy? And cute creatures?'
Hailbo: Isn't there something wrong with this picture? Is this really what the King of Aolai is like?
"Just make her do it! Transfigure, and that's that!"
"All right, all right."
Hailbo said, "Lulu, would you show Your Majesty a little something?"
"(๑‾ꇴ‾๑) Okie dokie!"
"Meow~~"
So, under the anticipatory gaze of the King of Aolai, Cat Lulu flew into mid-air and, amidst a burst of white light, transformed into an upright cat fairy.
"That's it, that's it!!"
"Hahahaha! That lad Saros finally helped this old man find it!"
Overcome with excitement, the King of Aolai stood up, then lifted Cat Lingling's arms, holding her above his head like a child playing up-high, he hoisted her over his head.
