Chapter 139 Okay, now you don’t have to worry about the access control anymore
"Stingy!" Lilith pouted and turned her head to the window again in a huff. Her lips were pouting so much that you could tie a horse to them.
"Do you want to have a pet? Do you prefer cats or dogs?" Daisy asked her little business partner curiously.
"This is the homework assigned to me by my magical biology teacher. It requires me to raise a magical creature..."
"Oh, then I can't help you." Daisy laughed.
"What kind do you want? Let me recommend it to you!" Phoebe had drunk belladonna and became more lively and talkative. She patted her chest and confidently wanted to pass on her experience to Lilith.
"Well... they have to be clean and sanitary, not bite people, not destroy the house, not eat mice, not eat bugs, not eat bats, not eat snakes. Oh, should I look for herbivores? But I feel that the excrement of herbivores is also very smelly... Oh! Are there any that can defecate in a fixed place without training?"
As she excreted one word after another, Catherine next to her slowly put down her knife and fork.
Lilith noticed Catherine's movements and turned her attention to her again. "Look, it's like Catherine fits the bill perfectly—"
"Shut up, Lilith, please!" The princess covered her face in pain. It was the first time she spoke so rudely to someone other than Kanien.
"You..." Phoebe's confused mind was already confused by this long list of requirements, "Do you really want to raise a pet? Anyone who meets these requirements can enroll in Gloria, right?"
Lilith tilted her head in confusion. Why did Phoebe's words sound like insults?
"Daisy! Oh! My old friend! I must have a drink with you!" A thin man with a mustache staggered over, his face red from the alcohol, but he was still excited to toast the proprietress.
"Oh my god, Simpson, that's enough!" Daisy stood up quickly and separated the drunk from the girls. "If you drink like this, your wife won't open the door for you tonight!"
"Hahaha! No way, Daisy!" Simpson swayed like a tumbler, stretched out his hand holding the wine bottle, and waved his fingers artificially. "This year is my lucky year. Do you know how much money I brought home for that woman this year? Now she is being, hiccup - very polite to me!"
The smell of alcohol coming from him dissipated. Catherine frowned and moved silently towards Lilith.
"Okay, okay, the price of Gloria's house has increased greatly. Everyone knows that you earn a lot. Stop making people jealous, Simpson." Daisy smiled and pushed the drunken agent, made him drink two glasses of wine, and then kicked him out.
"The price of Goletia's house has increased dramatically? When did it start?" Lilith asked after Daisy sat down again.
"Speaking of which, you're really lucky Lilith. You bought your wine shop early, and the price went up at the beginning of your summer vacation!"
"Why?" Although Goletia was not under the jurisdiction of the Gaia Empire, since it involved people's livelihood, Catherine couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Because of you, Your Excellency." Daisy was surprised. "I thought you knew."
Catherine was a little confused, "I'm very busy with my studies at school..."
"Aren't there more noble students this year? I even saw quite a few of them during the reporting days. They were buying land in the city on a large scale. If they couldn't buy a big house, they would buy extra houses for their servants. In addition, many people in the outside world know that you are studying in Goletia, and many businessmen have also come here after hearing the news. The city is now much more lively than before!" Her business is also much better than in previous years.
"Of course, it's also your contribution, Lilith!" Daisy turned around and smiled, "Some wine merchants have also bought properties here. With so many more people coming, the land price has naturally increased. So far, it has increased by nearly 40%!"
"It seems that the cost of expanding my winery will increase..." Lilith smiled bitterly and looked at Catherine. She didn't expect that the two of them would become the culprits.
After saying goodbye to Daisy and Phoebe, Lilith and Catherine walked slowly in the city. The game was over, and Catherine was in a very good mood. She raised her mouth wantonly in the night, letting Lilith drag her around in different stores. When they set out on their way home, a heavy sound came from the clock tower in the city, and it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Upon hearing the voice, Lilith immediately slowed down her pace and said with a smile, "Okay, now you don't have to worry about the access control!" It was too late anyway, so she could climb over the wall with peace of mind.
Catherine smiled and slowed down her pace. The two girls walked side by side in the night. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on them, outlining a hazy outline. The street lights stretched and shortened their shadows. Every time the shadow appeared in front of her, Lilith couldn't help but make some weird movements, and then she was amused by her funny shadow and laughed.
Catherine looked at Lilith, who was finding pure happiness from such trivial things, with envy in her eyes.
"Wow, you can even not laugh. Are you doing the "no laughing challenge"?" Lilith turned her head and saw Catherine's eyes. She reached out and poked the corner of her mouth. Then she thought of something and took the initiative to say, "If you can prepare the wheat seeds as early as possible this year, I should be able to breed more hybrid seeds, and Ozler's yield should be able to increase a lot."
Catherine's eyes suddenly widened. She didn't expect Lilith to suddenly mention this. She subconsciously opened her mouth, "Thank you——"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lilith interrupted her quickly, "We are just in a cooperative relationship. If you grow more, I will naturally get more. If my winery had enough food, I would not be so proactive. What is there to thank you for?" She always felt that she had taken advantage of this matter. Not only did Catherine provide the seeds, but she also took the risks for her.
A smile really broke out on Catherine's face. "I'll go write the letter now!" She turned around, picked up her skirt and ran away.
“Eh? Eh?!” Lilith only had time to stretch out her hand before she saw Catherine running away like a gust of wind… What kind of mobility is this? We’re already at the wall!!
Lilith was waiting in a disheveled manner in the cold wind. Before Catherine came, she saw the familiar blue-haired guy.
"...There are special circumstances today." Lilith tried hard to keep a calm expression. If she wanted to lie, she had to lie to herself first.
"Okay, Vice President." Fortunately, Lucas seemed very tired today and was too lazy to argue with Lilith. He climbed up the fence swiftly, landed silently, and quickly left the wall.
Lilith looked at the boy's back, then at the path he had forcibly trampled on the flower bed by the wall, and something flashed through her mind. She thought of Lucas's confident smile when he mentioned buying a house before the holiday, and his reaction when she asked about it later, and she suddenly understood something.
It seems that Lucas is getting further and further away from his dream of buying a house because of the price increase?
