Chapter 301 Pay the price
Mo Ran glanced at the figure walking towards him with lotus steps, closed his eyes slightly, and asked faintly, "Is it the order of the Palace Master not to accept the painting book?"
When Mo Ran pronounced the four words "Lord Palace Administrator" very heavily, as if blood could be seen with his mouthful.
Araya replied, "Yes, the news just came down not long ago that a novel needs to be printed urgently, so there is no time to spare, so I will print the illustrated storybook."
Xiao Gong said urgently: "Miss Huang Gu, I can be Gamora. If you are short of manpower, I can help you!"
It can be seen that Xiao Gong is really anxious, because she knows clearly how difficult it is for a child to persevere and fulfill his dream.
Because Xiao Gong had seen many dreams shattered for various reasons, so this time she didn't want to give up easily, both for Klee and for her former carefree self.
"This... Alas." Huang Gu sighed and explained, "There's really no way. Recently, due to Rong Caiji's personal printing, the printing of many books has been delayed. We really can't fill in the order now."
"What should we do? It seems there is really no way out." Paimeng turned his head to look at his two travel companions, then looked at the man in black, and said, "Mo Ran, you usually have the most ideas, don't you? Think about it quickly, what should we do!"
"Brother." Keli looked at the man in black and was also looking forward to it. In her mother's narration, her brother was like an omnipotent god who could do anything with just a wave of his hand.
Mo Ran broke free from General Lei Dian's restraints, slowly squatted down, looked at his sister with worry in her eyes, and comforted her: "Brother will find a way, don't worry, Ke Li."
Xiao Gong, who was considerate, also said, "Don't worry, Keli. I won't let this happen again if your dream can't be realized because of organizational problems."
"I will go back and draw as many books as I can. I will definitely let Dudu Ke's story appear at the Rongcai Festival!"
At this moment, Xiao Gong, who was originally not much bigger than Klee, became very tall and majestic, like a giant walking beside her, settling all hardships and defending the dreams of these children.
Just as she was about to take action, a mature, seductive, but unconventional female voice came: "Oh my, Xiao Gong's stubbornness, I really like it!"
"It's the Son of God, why are you here?" Paimon asked with his hands spread out.
Yae Shinko said with a smile: "As the editor-in-chief of Yae-do, of course I have to come and take a look. Isn't it just a coincidence that you guys need to solve a problem?"
Huang Gu hurriedly tried to explain, but Yae Shen Zi waved his hand and said, "I have heard the details of the matter, and you are also following the rules. There is no need to rush. Go back and do your work first. Leave this to me."
"Yes." Since even the editor-in-chief said so, Huang Gu could only go back to work. After all, standing in front of the store and chatting was really inappropriate.
"By the way, how can the Son of God help?" Paimon looked at the pink-haired fox and felt that she was holding back a lot of bad intentions that were about to show.
Before she could speak, Ying and Kong took a few steps back at the same time, using the shapes of several people to cover themselves to avoid any more trouble.
Yae Shinko's eyes flashed. How could she not see the actions of the two little guys? But now was the important moment, and the punishment could be discussed later.
"Yaedo is a place that grants other people's wishes. I can't bear to see such a lovely witch's wish broken."
"Xiao Gong, little sister, it's not impossible for you to print your own book, but..." Yae Shenzi deliberately slowed down before continuing: "You need to pay a price."
"Master Palace Master, I'm ready. Just tell me what the price is!" Xiao Gong patted her plump chest, her eyes sparkling.
Yae Shinko joked, "Oh my, I'm not that scary, don't make me sound like an old witch!"
Mo Ran rolled his eyes. What do you mean by "similar"? It's exactly like that. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. The Son of God is as old as an old witch, so what is he?
"Haha, we can talk about the price later. Lend me this gentleman for a while. If everything goes well, the printing problem can be solved immediately!" The Eightfold Son of God patiently persuaded and directed his spearhead at a man in black.
Mo Ran was complaining in his heart, but he remained calm and said, "Whatever the Palace Master needs me to do, I will do it without hesitation."
"Well, that's a good awareness. Come with me." Yae Shinto nodded slightly and walked towards a quiet alley on the side.
Mo Ran glanced at General Lei Dian, comforted Ke Li, and followed the pink figure into the alley where he didn't know what would happen.
Seeing that there was no one around, the words and actions of both sides changed instantly. The Eightfold Son of God pounced, but after Mo Ran dodged, he directly locked his throat with his arm.
The little fox still wanted to struggle, and raised its legs and bent them backwards, trying to hang itself up. However, it was frightened by the pressure and could not move. One of its shoes flew out and hit the wall.
"Master...you cheated!" Yae Shinto protested unconvinced. Because his throat was locked, his breathing was a little irregular and his breathing was very heavy.
"You talked about the rules again? Isn't it a free fight?" Mo Ran looked at the itchy little fox, pushed her away, and said faintly: "Tell me, why did you ask me to come in?"
"Ouch." Yae Shenzi held the wall with both hands, stretched lazily, put on the shoe he had dropped, rubbed the ground with the sole, and said slowly: "Seeing that the master doesn't like his sister, Shenzi wants to help."
"As expected, you are the one behind this. I told you that the Rongcai Festival has only just started for a day or two, so how could the printing factory be so full? You must have lied, right?"
"Haha, Master is really smart. It was indeed done by the Son of God. But now Master is the one who solved the problem. The Master's image in Miss Klee's heart must be much taller."
"It's just an empty image that is forced upon us. Now, let's go back quickly so as not to keep them waiting for too long."
"Wait a little longer, Master, don't you want to know the exciting plan for this Rongcai Festival?"
"It's nothing more than promoting market competition and triggering a series of reactions. These are all leftover systems from Liyue. For those authors who seem to be writing a book a day, even if they don't finish it in time, you will find ghostwriters to replace them to ensure that there will be no interruptions."
"It is used to illustrate the ability of the author of Yajyoushen, and to put pressure on other authors, warning them not to delay the update, otherwise they will not make money." Mo Ran looked at the pink-haired fox and said slowly: "Am I right?"
"Master, you answered all the questions correctly. How about a hug from the Son of God as a reward?" The Son of God opened his arms, wanting to welcome the woman in black into his arms.
The corner of Mo Ran's mouth twitched, and he said with disgust: "Go away!"
“How sad.”
"Keep pretending, huh." Mo Ran turned around and said, "Are you still not leaving?"
"coming!"
In front of the Yaedo Hall, everyone waited for nearly a quarter of an hour, but there was no news from the man and the fox who had entered the alley.
After waiting for a long time without any result, Xiao Gong was ready to go back and draw by herself. Time is money, and this quarter of an hour was enough for her to finish half a book. If she failed, she still had a way out.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Mo Ran took a few steps, distanced himself from the Eightfold Son of God, and stood with the crowd, as if there was some man-eating monster just now.
"Brother, are you okay?" Keli looked at the action of the man in black, which was very similar to when she wanted to escape.
Could it be that this fox sister is the same kind as Captain Qin? Keli shuddered as she thought about how Captain Qin had captured her.
Mo Ran waved his hand and said, "Brother, it's okay. The printing problem of Dudu Ke's picture book has been solved. Keli's good friend will be able to meet everyone soon!"
"Really?" After hearing her brother's assurance, Keli felt relieved and began to pay attention to the problem of Dudu Ke's sketchbook.
Mo Ran nodded and said, "Really, brother will never lie to Ke Li!"
“Great!” Keli was very happy. She jumped up and down and waved her hands, saying with a smile: “Thank you, brother. You are the best!”
Yae Shinko covered her mouth and chuckled, "Little friend, shouldn't you thank your sister too?"
"Thank you, Sister Gongshi." Keli stopped jumping and said while standing still.
Mo Ran looked at the pink-haired fox that was taking advantage of others and clenched his fist slightly, as if it was a painless warning.
But this dead fox, Yae Shinko, was not afraid of the boiling water. Instead, he gently twisted his waist, exhaled heavily, and continued to discuss the contents of the picture book.
She had suggested printing the books together, which would be in line with the plan and would not expose the printing factory's affairs.
After the explanation, Kelly understood the meaning of the joint seal and readily agreed, because it is a pleasant thing to meet with friends. Even if the number of times is less, it is better than not having any contact at all.
"Then let's settle it like this!" Yae Shinko went to instruct the staff of Yae-do, and then came back.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Mo Ran invited them, "It's getting late. Sorry for troubling you all this morning. Let's go to Shimuraya for lunch. It's my treat!"
"Great!" Paimon raised his fist, jumped two stories high, and then rushed towards the famous restaurant.
Of course, Yae Shinto followed suit naturally. As for the reason, it was the price paid for the joint seal, which was very reasonable.
"General, the fox is in your hands tonight." Mo Ran whispered.
"Understood." General Lei Dian stared at the pink-haired fox and grinned. She would definitely carry out her uncle's orders well!
In Shimuraya, Mo Ran booked a space on the second floor and seated a large table of people. The famous dishes of Inazuma were served one after another, and there was no worry about waste because of Paimon's presence.
Yae Kamiko had a great chat with the two travelers and decided to write a novel based on them, called "The Bizarre Adventures of the Traveler".
Mo Ran on the side didn't care about these performance issues and focused on picking up food for Ke Li. He gave her whatever she had and met all her requests without refusing anyone.
"Keli, how about a piece of butter crab?"
"No, forget it. Keli doesn't like eating crabs. She wants to sit at the dining table and peel the shells slowly."
Mo Ran, who knew that Klee didn't like to eat troublesome food, and Albedo, who had just arrived after finding the location, had a flash of eyes. Although the shell of the butter crab was cracked open, it would indeed be troublesome to take out the crab meat.
So, these two considerate and gentle brothers began to peel the shells for their sisters again.
Albedo took the crab-eating tool, removed the crab shell bit by bit, and put the delicious crab meat into Klee's bowl.
Mo Ran was much more direct. He raised his hand, and the element of wind surged. He shelled the crab meat and put it into Klee's bowl. As for exposing the elemental power, he didn't have the Eye of Rock Element with him anyway. At worst, he could just get a wind element one next time.
The two of them used their talents to take good care of Klee, feeding her well, and having fun with her every day.
