I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

Chapter 153 Murong Bai's Little Thoughts

Murong Bai searched almost the entire seabed nearby, but still found no trace of the Dragon Ball.

"This is really the end! How am I going to go back and explain this to my father?!"

Murong Bai planned to search further afield, but before that, he needed to tell Diana to go back first.

"It's already kind of her to come and help me look for it; I can't waste her time any more."

Murong Bai swam towards the place the two had agreed upon. He was prepared to search for several days, and he would absolutely not give up until he found the Dragon Ball.

When Murong Bai arrived at the agreed location, he immediately saw Diana playing with a dragon ball and rushed straight to her.

"Diana! You... found the Dragon Balls!"

Diana nodded and tossed the Dragon Ball to him.

"Well, we were pretty lucky; we found it under a coral reef."

Murong Bai carefully accepted the Dragon Pearl. The Dragon Pearl was a treasure, and the fact that she could resist the temptation and not take it for herself showed Diana's character.

"Do you know how precious the Dragon Balls are? Aren't you tempted?"

Diana waved her hand.

"You seem to be in such a hurry, it must be very important to you!"

Murong Bai was deeply moved. He swallowed the dragon ball and nodded to Diana.

"I will remember this kindness. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Diana thought for a moment.

"Since you've said so, and the Dragon Balls have been found, summoning sea creatures shouldn't be too difficult for you! Let's get started without further ado!"

Murong Bai sighed, "You really don't hold back!"

Although it was somewhat unethical to do so, he still agreed.

Murong Bai summoned almost all the nearby marine life, and seeing Diana happily grabbing seafood, he felt inexplicably happy as well.

It's just tough on the marine creatures that were summoned, some of them even being summoned a second time. It's outrageous, ridiculously absurd.

Some of the clever ones have already slipped away secretly.

Diana didn't go all out; she mostly targeted the big fish and let the small ones go. Even so, she still reaped a great harvest, catching enough seafood to feed an average person for half a lifetime.

However, even if Diana ate as much as she wanted, it wouldn't be much.

"That's almost done! Thank you, Baymax!"

"Would you like to come back with me and have some more barbecue?"

Murong Bai ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of barbecue.

"Then I'm not welcome!"

······

The two returned to the shore and continued their barbecue.

As darkness fell quickly, everyone prepared to return home. Diana approached Murong Bai.

"Big White, do you want to come back with us?"

Murong Bai was quite willing to agree. It was much more interesting outside than at home, with better food and fun activities. No wonder Elua didn't want to go back.

However, he ultimately refused. He wasn't Elua; going back would only result in a scolding, but if he didn't go back, he would face dire consequences.

"Never mind, Anna, I need to go back and explain the situation to my father."

Although it was a bit of a pity, Diana didn't try to stop her. She had already spoken with Murong Bai and said that because Elua had to go to school, she wouldn't be going back for the time being, but she would take her back during the long holiday.

With Diana looking after him, Murong Bai felt at ease.

Diana handed a crystal marked with coordinates to Murong Bai.

"Come visit us when you have time. This crystal contains spatial coordinates. Once activated, I will come to pick you up."

Murong Bai carefully held the crystal.

"Thank you, I'm entrusting my little sister to you now, Anna."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure Xiaoya studies hard."

After bidding farewell to everyone, Murong Bai transformed back into his true form and returned to the sea.

Upon returning to the underwater tribe's territory, Murong Bai immediately went to see his father, the emperor.

In the magnificent palace, the old man sat motionless on his luxurious throne, his eyes slightly narrowed and his chin resting on one hand, like a statue.

When Murong Bai arrived at the main hall, the old man saw that he had returned alone. Although he didn't say anything, the atmosphere around him was still somewhat cold.

After paying his respects, Murong Bai, not daring to delay, continued:

"Father, I have found my little sister!"

The old man, who had been wearing a stern face, looked a little better, and the oppressive atmosphere around him eased somewhat.

"Well done! Where is Luya? Bring her to see me at once."

"Father, my younger sister did not come back with me."

The old man slammed his hand on the armrest of the throne, and an invisible wave spread outwards.

Murong Bai's body trembled.

"That's how it is, Father..."

Murong Bai did not hide anything and quickly recounted what had happened.

The old man stroked his chin.

"So, the turmoil at sea today was caused by this Diana?"

Murong Bai quickly explained, of course, he wouldn't say that it was magic that Diana used to reprimand him, because his father would misunderstand Diana. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he planned to embellish the story a little.

“Father, Diana only performed a magic trick for me, and it was I who urged her to do so.”

“If it weren’t for me, Diana wouldn’t have been able to cast that spell. It wasn’t her fault!”

"Oh? You've only known her for a short time, and you're already defending her like this?"

Although the old man hadn't witnessed Diana's magic firsthand, he knew from Murong Bai's description and the commotion it caused that the magic was not to be underestimated, so he remained somewhat wary of Diana.

“Father, I just think she is a very good person. From the moment she found the precious dragon pearl and returned it, I did not see any greed in her eyes.”

"My younger sister likes her very much, which shows that she is a kind person."

The old man nodded. He knew his beloved daughter's personality better than anyone; she wasn't someone who would be close to just anyone.

"That's true, but I'm still worried. I must bring Luya back."

For some reason, Diana's smile flashed through Murong Bai's mind. He had promised Diana that he would be able to persuade his father.

"Father, my little sister is really happy outside. I haven't seen her so happy in a long time!"

"My little sister is still studying at the human school. She's much better behaved now and doesn't misbehave like she used to!"

"If Father is worried about my little sister's safety, you can let me stay by her side to take care of her. I will definitely not let my little sister suffer any injustice!"

The old man remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Of the children, the old man loved Elua the most, but because Elua's bloodline was not pure, there were always some gossips, and even her older brothers and sisters did not like her very much.

With the elderly protecting her, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction openly; they simply chose not to pay her any attention.

Therefore, Elua often caused trouble in an attempt to attract attention, but this only made people dislike her even more.

These elders all knew that he couldn't make others genuinely like Elua, so he could only spoil Elua even more.

The old man sighed, "Alas, perhaps the outside world is where little Luya truly belongs."

"Alright! You go and look after Luya! School's out for break, so I need to bring her back to see her!"

Murong Bai bowed, appearing calm on the surface, but inwardly he was overjoyed, as everything was proceeding as he had anticipated.

"My son, I obey!"
