Are you sure?
Shi Tou looked at Luo Pi Pi and thought that the expression on her face was really lewd.
"Alright, if you insist on revealing your personal information, I won't mind. But please allow me to go with you tomorrow, for three legendary missions!" Luo Pipi exclaimed in an aria.
Stone was immediately covered in sweat: "Ah! I forgot..." He forgot that he was still lying on the Mercenary Guild's mission wall!
"It's alright, as long as I haven't forgotten. Three legendary missions, two of which offer 100,000 gold coins as a reward, and one of which, although there's no reward, allows me to connect with the fourth prince of the royal family. Tsk tsk, Duo'er, I had no idea that I'd unknowingly hooked up with a little sugar daddy?"
Stone stared at Luo Pipi with a bewildered expression. "Sugar daddy" and all that... it sounded more like a plea for "sugar daddy" or "bed warmer"!
"Oh right, your name isn't Duo'er, it's Huo Yi?" Luo Pipi suddenly slapped her forehead: "Then what should I call you from now on? Huo Yi?"
"Are you trying to kill me?" Stone was horrified and quickly covered Luo Pipi's mouth, but she immediately realized that she had made a fool of herself again, because they were already in the guest room, and there were only the two of them in the room.
"Tsk tsk, not bad, finally showing a little bit of vigilance." Luo Pipi smacked his lips, looking at the stone with great appreciation.
Stone felt a lot of pressure; why was she making such silly mistakes all day?
"You can still call me Duo'er from now on, I'm used to it anyway." How could she not be used to it? In all these years since she came to this other world, she's changed her name so many times. Actually, now that she thinks about it, Steel Hammer Daddy is the most reliable one, giving her such a nice-sounding and easy-to-remember name.
Mmm, I love you, Steel Hammer Daddy!
"Alright, Duo'er, I just want to ask, how exactly did you manage to hook up with the Fourth Prince?" She tacitly accepted the name; after all, a name is just a symbol, and since the other person didn't want to change it, Luo Pipi naturally went along with it.
Hook up with...
Stone exploded again: "What do you mean by 'flirting'?! I never flirted with the Fourth Prince!"
Luo Pipi spread his hands innocently: "Do you even believe that yourself?"
I'm getting angry! Why doesn't she believe me?!
She opened her mouth, but ultimately remained silent. Well, she also thought that statement was rather unreliable. After all, the Fourth Prince was of noble birth and held a prestigious position, and his own abilities were quite impressive. More importantly, he was good-looking!
"I would never go after a man who's prettier than me!" Stone thought for a long time before finally finding a reason. Unfortunately, this reason really sounded like an excuse.
"So, what are you trying to say?" Luo Pipi was also a little confused: "Are you trying to say that it was actually the Fourth Prince who took the initiative to seduce you?"
Shi Tou was about to nod in agreement, but then he immediately realized something was wrong: "What nonsense! There was no seduction between us! We're both innocent!"
“That’s really not sincere…” Luo Pipi swallowed hard and said with great difficulty.
Damn, that's sincerity!
"I have no idea what's going on! When you said the Fourth Prince called me his princess, I was almost scared out of my wits. Humph, who knows what he's thinking this time!" Stone was really annoyed. Even if she didn't care about these kinds of rumors, she didn't want to be accused of seducing a prince, right? Besides, that Fourth Prince was clearly not her type!
Luo Pipi stared intently at the stone for a long while before hesitatingly speaking, "Alright, I believe you, but do you know what the Fourth Prince means by this? As far as I know, he has quite a few admirers. Although you are the second young lady of the Huo family, to him, your background is not the most noble among his admirers. Not to mention, as far as I know, the eldest daughter of the Qin family likes him very much."
"The eldest daughter of the Qin family? Who is she?" Shi Tou suddenly became interested and asked with great gossip.
Luo Pipi was truly speechless: "Aren't you the second young lady of the Huo family? How come you don't know anything about the affairs of the six great families of the East?"
"I usually only care about Ironforge and I also have to attend classes at Imperial Academy. I don't have time to deal with these things!" Stone said innocently.
"The eldest daughter of the Qin family is named Qin Xi, and her aunt is the current queen. It is said that she is very beautiful and looks five or six points like her aunt. As for her strength, I remember that she was already a six-star mage last year."
At this point, Luo Pipi suddenly lowered her voice, her eyes shining as she looked at Shi Tou: "Actually, I've always had a question. It seems that the descendants of the six great families of the East generally have very good magical talent, and they advance very quickly. I'd like to ask you if Princess Irene secretly left some secret techniques for the Eastern families back then?"
The mosquito coil-shaped eyes represent the stone's current mood.
Well, as the Huo family's inexplicably chosen second young lady, even if the Dongfang family truly possessed some secret, she certainly wouldn't have access to it. But as the reincarnation of Princess Irene, Stone felt genuinely under immense pressure!
Can she say she knows nothing? Can she?
You damn fool! Get your ass out here right now!!!

Chapter 200: Yarn That Changes When It Gets Water
After finally getting rid of Luo Pipi, Shi Tou quickly ordered a dinner and ate it. But at this point, it could no longer be considered dinner; it was more like a late-night snack.
After quickly finishing his meal, Shi Tou locked the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and hid in the bathroom.
"You little brat! Get out here right now!" Stone entered the pet area she had specially marked out. The area wasn't big, but it was enough for the three little pets to run around in.
"Master! Duck is hungry!" Unexpectedly, the first person to greet her was not that lazy bun, but Stone's second pet—a little yellow duck.
Stone was stunned for a moment before realizing that the little yellow duck needed to be fed: "Duck, didn't Baozi give you anything good to eat?"
The little yellow duck twisted its body and whined to the stone, "The buns gave me food, but every time I eat, the bad guys always steal it away. Waaah, I'm hungry again."
Bad guy?
At first, Stone thought that Dead Bun had gone crazy again, but then he thought, no, that doesn't make sense! Dead Bun does like to eat, but the delicious things in its mind are all old-fashioned things. As for food, Bun won't even touch them.
"You damn steamed bun, come out here!"
Stone struggled for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on, so he shouted at the top of his lungs. However, there was no sound from Baozi in the empty pet area.
I subconsciously glanced down at my ring; the black diamond was long gone, meaning Baozi was definitely in there. I just didn't know why it dared to avoid seeing me.
"Master, Baozi was bullied by bad guys, and it's hiding and crying," the little yellow duck said, trying to defend Baozi.
What?! Being bullied by bad guys?!
Stone was horrified. What in the world could possibly bully Baozi?
"What bad guys? Is it MiFen'er? Or DoraJar?" Even though he knew MiFen'er and DoraJar couldn't enter this pet area, Stone still asked. After all, there was no one else in the entire ring space besides them.
"No, no, it's that rascal the owner brought last time!" The little yellow duck shook its head frantically. "It's that little rascal with the feathers!"
A fuzzy little rascal?
Stone finally realized, the little yellow duck was talking about that ball of yarn that fell from the sky last time?!
"Yarn? Are you there? Yarn, you get the hell out here!"
The words had barely left his mouth when Stone suddenly felt a heaviness on his head. He reached up and touched his head, then gritted his teeth and roared, "You damn brat! Who told you to jump on my head?!"
Yarn struggled in Stone's hand, babbling and crying, "Indecent assault! Indecent assault! Yarn has been assaulted by a bad woman!"
You're harassing me!
Stone got angry and slammed the yarn on the ground: "Say that again!"
"Indecent assault! Wool was assaulted by a wicked woman with a hearing problem!"
Crouching down, Stone slapped Yarn across the face: "You bastard! If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
The yarn is very soft. And when you touch the stone, it feels like a mollusk, without bones, and its whole body is very flexible.
"Who are you? Why are you hurting poor yarn?"
The yarn was small to begin with, and its features were even smaller and hard to see clearly, but it was easy to tell from its pitiful tone that it was a little scared.
"I'm your master! You idiot, have you forgotten me so quickly?" Stone gritted her teeth, desperately wanting to know if this yarn even had a brain.
"Oh! Oh! Yarn, I remember now, you're the owner of Yarn, the one who named Yarn and then molested Yarn!"
o(>﹏<)o
Can we please not talk about indecent assault?!
Stone took several deep breaths, finally managing to calm her anger. She really wanted to know what sins she had committed in her past life that made all the pets she encountered in this life so unreliable!
"I'm asking you, where did the steamed buns go?"
Maoxian paused for a moment, and after a long while, hesitantly asked, "What is a steamed bun? Can you eat it?"
Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid?!
"These are the steamed buns I used to distribute food to you guys while I was away!" Stone felt like he was about to explode, so he quickly finished speaking: "Where did it go?"
"Oh! Yarn remembers now, that plump, white bun!" Yarn twisted around and actually slipped out from under the stone's palm: "It never gives Yarn any good food, only that silly duck. Yarn was hungry, so..."
Stone suddenly had a bad feeling and asked hesitantly, his head full of black lines, "So what did you do to it?"
"It's eaten!"
As soon as Yarn finished speaking, it suddenly began to inflate, and in less than two seconds, its previously deflated body transformed into a large balloon. Before Stone could even react, it floated into the air.
Stone stared in disbelief as the yarn transformed from a ball of yarn into a balloon, and it took him a long time to come to his senses: "You ate the bun? And you didn't get diarrhea?"
"Waaaaah! Duck wants steamed buns, steamed buns are good steamed buns, duck wants steamed buns!"
Stone was alright; after all, she knew exactly what a steamed bun was, and she didn't believe any creature's stomach could be so powerful as to digest one. But Little Yellow Duck didn't know. She had witnessed Stone turn a lively white rabbit into a fragrant roasted rabbit, so she was terrified that the steamed bun would also turn into a roasted bun.
"Don't worry, it's alright, Baozi won't die." Stone comforted her heartlessly, then lowered his head and stared intently at the ring on his hand, silently chanting the incantation to summon Baozi.
A flash of white light appeared, and a dazzling black diamond appeared on the previously empty ring setting.
"Giggle! Master, Baozi is so pitiful, so pitiful!"
Before the stone could even offer its greetings, Baozi burst into tears, but instead of turning into a plump, white steamed bun as usual, it did not.
Stone was depressed: "You little dumpling, you'll cry later. I need to ask you something first."
Baozi's crying stopped abruptly: "Gah?"
"Why is it that the descendants of the six great families of the East generally have better magical talent?" Stone remembered what Luo Pipi had told her not long ago: "Could it be that Princess Irene left them something back then?"
"Huh?" Baozi was confused: "What did you leave behind? Baozi doesn't know!"
"Really? That can't be right. I remember you said before that the descendants of the Dongfang family have some kind of bloodline inheritance, right?" Baozi's character wasn't very good, and Stone didn't believe it at all.
Baozi was silent for a while before hesitantly speaking: "Hehe, the Shui family's daughter has extremely high talent in water magic, but their son is a complete waste!"
"Besides the Shui family?"
"Hehe, the Qin family produces geniuses, the Chu family produces prodigies, the Huo family has good fire element talent, but the Han family only produces good-for-nothings!"
puff!
Shi Tou was sweating profusely as she listened, but after doing the math, she realized something was wrong!
