Travel · Magic City Arc (Epilogue): Taking the Solaris Girls Home to Meet My Family~

"Sister Kan, I must solemnly declare that this is unethical behavior of yours," Hajiling said solemnly, lying shirtless on the bed.

"Oh dear, I even sacrificed myself to help you cure your love poison, and you turn around and bite me! Isn't that like getting something for nothing and then complaining?" Cantarella said, feigning sorrow. "Looks like I've wasted my time..."

"So you're admitting now that I've been poisoned by love?" Xiao Ling asked, his face darkening.

"Hmm~" Cantarella gave a soft hum.

(The low humming from the trench is still chasing me.)

"Sister Kan, that's not how you play the game with Gala Wuthering Waves!" Xiao Ling said earnestly. "You should spend some time with me first to build up my favorability, then occasionally surprise me with little surprises on holidays and birthdays, followed by a romantic candlelight dinner, and then, under the influence of alcohol, we should confess our feelings to each other, and finally, things should naturally fall into place. What do you mean you're giving me candied fruit right off the bat?"

"The end result is the same anyway," Cantarella drew circles on his chest. "Besides, the head of the Feysac family doesn't like playing house with those little girls. I'll get what I want by any means necessary."

"What about the others? Did they even react to all the commotion you caused?"

Do you think I'm so careless as to not even consider this situation?

Xiao Ling instantly understood. As expected of the head of the Fell Family, who was known for his poisons, he was indeed cunning.

But doing something wrong is doing something wrong, and the appropriate punishment must be given.

So, amidst Cantarella's gasp, Xiao Ling leaned in and pinned her down.

"Hmm... I think we have plenty of time to build our relationship in the future, so there's no need to rush things." Cantarella, sensing the situation was turning sour, was trying to stall for time.

"That's true, but I think now is a good opportunity," Xiao Ling retorted.

"Don't we have to catch a flight to Imperial Capital in a bit?"

"I can ask them to postpone it a little longer."

Cantarella sighed softly. If she didn't use some tricks, she would definitely have to accept the punishment obediently.

So she snapped her fingers, and Hajiling, who had been quite energetic, was instantly drained of all her strength.

"Crazy!" Xiao Ling slammed his head into the cotton-like pillow, letting out a defiant, traditional Chinese cry, "You actually had a backup plan!"

"I'm sorry, my lord, but to prevent you from punishing me for my overstepping my bounds afterward, I have to take precautions." Cantarella had somehow donned a pale purple nightgown, concealing a large expanse of her body. "But please rest assured, in the future, I will approach you with my affections in a more open and aboveboard manner."

"As for now, I think you can rest a little longer. There's still plenty of time before the agreed time. I'll come and wake you up myself when it's time."

"Well, thank you so much for your thoughtfulness," Xiao Ling said sullenly.

Cantarella glanced at Xiao Ling, who was sprawled on the bed, curled the corners of her lips, and left the room, closing the door behind her.

Then, after taking only a few steps toward her room, her legs felt weak, and she instinctively grabbed the wall for balance.

"My lord's stamina is truly terrifying..." she said, her brows furrowing slightly.

Cantarella said that even when Hajiling was unconscious, she couldn't guarantee she could control him completely, and there was even a hint that she would be overshadowed. One can imagine what would have happened if she had been punished by him when he was fully conscious.

However, one thing is certain: she would never be as composed as she is now.

3 PM, airport waiting area.

Actually, Xiao Ling and the others should have left in the morning, but for some reason their patriarch overslept, so they had to reschedule for the afternoon.

Incidentally, Hajiling was severely reprimanded by her elders for this incident.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterward. After having lunch and packing their luggage, the group embarked on their journey to the Imperial Capital.

"Hmm... Sister Suisui and the others are gone..." Aemeath with a hint of regret, "It feels a bit strange to see so many people gone."

"It's just a temporary separation, we'll meet again in the Imperial Capital soon," Dania comforted her. "Besides, didn't you already add their contact information?"

"Actually, I feel that Little Ai is more likely to be feeling sentimental because she hasn't been able to eat Sister Yangyang's desserts for several days," Lynae said, pointing out the obvious.

"Sister Yangyang's desserts are really delicious," Chisa affirmed, "They feel like home."

New members Carlotta and Cantarella agreed with this view, since they had indeed tasted the second young lady of the Mingting family's cooking last night and both agreed that no matter how skilled a pastry chef was, it would be difficult to replicate that taste.

It's rather comical that these two normally irreconcilable rivals reached an agreement on Yangyang's dessert.

"Speaking of which, what kind of person was Cat's Eye's mother?" Carlotta asked Xiao Ling.

"Hmm... if I had to give my first impression, she's a very gentle person," Dania blurted out.

"My first impression of her is that she's similar to Principal Roccia, but less sharp and more gentle," Aemeath added.

As a comparison sample, Miss Roccia gave Aemeath a kind smile, causing the latter to immediately shut her mouth in embarrassment.

"I think Yue-jie is a very enthusiastic person about life, and she's also very good to her family. When she celebrated Sister Nia's birthday, she even brought us all a nice gift!" Lynae said with a bright smile.

Others also expressed their opinions on Xiao Yue, while Carlotta silently accepted them all.

Finally, she turned her gaze to Xiao Ling, wanting to know how her own son would rate his mother.

"Actually Aemeath and the others' impressions are roughly based on my mother's current image, but that's all there is to her now." Xiao Ling revealed a look of reminiscence.

"Does Cat's Eye's mother have any ulterior past?" Coletta asked doubtfully.

"It's not exactly something to hide, but I think it would be better if you asked her yourself when you get there, rather than me doing it." Xiao Ling shook her head. "When it comes to revealing secrets, it's definitely more convincing if the person involved does it."

"As for now..." He listened to the roar of engines coming from not far away and smiled happily, "We should get going."

Everyone looked up at the sound and saw a private jet cutting through the sky outside the waiting area. Its black and gold paint job gleamed in the sunlight, and its streamlined fuselage outlined an elegant and noble silhouette, standing out like a crane among chickens among the ordinary passenger planes around it.

Shortly afterward, the private plane landed slowly at the airport, gliding gracefully down the runway.

After the plane came to a complete stop, the cabin doors clicked open, and the boarding stairs descended smoothly from above to welcome the passengers.

"Let's go, girls," Xiao Ling said, leading the way. "I'll take you to meet my family."

"Let's go! Let's go!" Aemeath exclaimed energetically.

Led by Xiao Ling and Aemeath, the group chatted and laughed as they boarded the airport shuttle bus one by one, heading towards the location of the private plane.

Once all passengers were in place, the cabin door was securely closed. Shortly after, the Xiao family's private jet sped off down the runway, carrying the group of girls toward their next destination— the Imperial Capital.
