Chapter 4260: Despair

My Queen, everything you say is right!

When Long Hui frantically rushed in to find them, this was the scene of cozy dining that greeted him.

For a moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of despair, a bit speechless...

The Feng Changqing brothers, bowls of rice in hand, turned to look at Long Hui. They saw what was once an elegant young man in white, now covered in grime.

A small pang of sympathy arose in their hearts.

The Long clan of Forgetfulness Sea seems to be having a rather tragic time...

"You actually have the nerve to eat here!" Long Xiangyun squeezed through the door from behind Long Hui, crying out exasperatedly.

Long Hui quickly grabbed her arm and walked swiftly into the room, cupping his hands to Qiao Mu and the others. "Crown Prince, Cousin, this ship probably won't last much longer. Many of the supplies we bought on board need to be stored."

"I wonder if Cousin has any empty storage talismans to store these supplies from the ship for now?"

These supplies were all things they had bought with real gold and silver!

Especially the furnishings in the little Crown Princess's room—the gilded bronze incense burners, the nanmu wood tables, and the flowing silk quilts—all of these needed to be stored!

Long Hui felt a bit miserable. There was still more than half a month's journey to Forgetfulness Sea, and their days would continue to be tight.

The little Crown Princess had just finished eating. She glanced at him but didn't make things difficult for him.

She silently rose with her husband and followed Long Hui out.

Upon reaching the cargo hold entrance, the little Crown Princess raised her hand and took out an empty storage jade talisman, stuffing all the supplies from the cargo hold into it in one go.

Long Xiangyun, standing by, subtly let out a sigh of relief. She naturally extended her hand towards the little Crown Princess.

However...

The little Crown Princess ignored her presence from beginning to end. After storing the supplies, she put the jade talisman into her inner realm.

Long Xiangyun almost exploded on the spot. "Crown Princess! What is the meaning of this?"

"I'll give you the supplies when we get a new ship," Qiao Mu retorted expressionlessly to Long Xiangyun. "You don't think that besides helping, I'm also going to give you a storage talisman for free, do you? Where's your face? Where did you put your face??"

Long Hui: ...

Long Xiangyun was so angry she couldn't speak.

Past tragic experiences told Long Xiangyun that it was best not to contradict the little Crown Princess at such times, otherwise, she might get beaten again.

This Crown Princess was simply an unlucky little demon. If you couldn't agree with her after three sentences, she'd immediately draw her sword and throw punches.

Try being tough with her? The little Crown Princess would definitely beat you until you questioned your very existence.

"They're inexplicable," the little poker-face looked up at Mo Lian.

Crown Prince Mo chuckled, nodded, and took his wife's hand, walking out. "Young Master Long, I hope you haven't forgotten that we're just here to help you."

"If we don't help, that's fine too."

Are you kidding? Wasn't it Long Hui himself who came rushing in, frantically asking them to use a storage talisman to collect the ship's supplies?

So many demands, and he even wants his wife to surrender her storage talisman?

Truly inexplicable.

Long Hui gave a bitter smile and cupped his hands. "Yes, please continue to help us, both of you, and collect the supplies on the ship. Don't forget the items in your rooms either!"

Those are all money...

Long Hui felt a deep sense of despair in his heart, feeling that serving this young couple throughout this journey had truly been humiliating enough.

Back to Forgetfulness Sea, back to Forgetfulness Sea, once they returned to Forgetfulness Sea, everything would be easier.

Long Hui reminded himself of this, silently swallowing a mouthful of bitterness.
