Chapter 240: Longfang City-State

Looking at Xie Yaoyao, who was standing outside the door holding the Little Red Umbrella and smiling foolishly at the rain, Nie Yingying decided to find a clerk to handle the pet shop as soon as possible, so she could devote all her energy to finding the location of the Elf tribe's "Moonlight Woodland."

I wonder if the clerk introduced by those two college students is reliable?

If I had known, I should have asked Agasha about the Elf tribe before parting ways with that little girl!

And the 【Blood Clan】 bloodline power I just obtained also needs to be well-excavated, and the 【Sky Assassin】 profession ability hasn't been fully mastered either. Sigh!

Nie Yingying became increasingly irritable, troubled by a head full of annoying things, and was about to glare at Xie Yaoyao, who was standing at the door watching the rain, to vent her anger.

Looking up, her heart jumped—Xie Yaoyao, who had just been foolishly looking up to catch the rain, was now staring straight at the green belt, and the withered azaleas had actually bloomed with crimson petals again, stretching out in the rain curtain in a seductive way that violated the seasonal laws.

"You're courting death again!" Nie Yingying grabbed Xie Yaoyao's hoodie cap and dragged him into the shop, the glass door hitting the frame with a trembling sound.

There was no need to think that it was this ancestor who used his Druid ability to force the withered flowers to bloom. Fortunately, the street was empty in the drizzling rain; if some morning-exercising old lady had seen this off-season spectacle, it would definitely have caused trouble.

"You sit here, don't you dare run anywhere! Xiao Annie, you are responsible for watching him and not allowing him to use his abilities!"

The Little Red Umbrella was forcibly taken away by Nie Yingying and hung on Xie Yaoyao's arm.

"Woof!"

The little "Huixing" that was circling around her feet was also stuffed into his arms.

Fortunately, Xie Yaoyao, who had become silly, was still obedient, and his attention was quickly attracted by the puppy in his arms. The fool and the silly dog immediately played together, and only the "Heibao" lying on the checkout counter looked at its master with confusion—everything was right, but it seemed like something was wrong!

Xiao Annie withdrew her power, and the drizzling rain outside also stopped, leaving only the wet road for people to sigh at the recent abnormal weather.

It rained every few days, but the rain was never heavy.

When you go out with an umbrella, the rain stops!

Su Yue, standing at the door of the pet shop, looked at the sky helplessly.

'It's really getting stranger and stranger lately. The green belt on the side of the road has actually bloomed again. Is this an azalea? A genetically modified azalea?'

Seeing the girl at the door withdraw her gaze from the green belt on the street, Nie Yingying hurriedly opened the shop door.

"Hello! May I ask who you are?"

Hearing Nie Yingying's greeting, Su Yue hurriedly withdrew her mind.

"Hello, hello, my name is Su Yue, I am..."

Nie Yingying was overjoyed; what she wanted came, what she wanted to eat came, and the mother came; the uncle of the child came.

"Ah, you are Liu Xue and Chai Wenwen's senior sister, right? Here to apply for the shop manager position?"

Looking at the extremely enthusiastic Nie Yingying, Su Yue explained somewhat guiltily: "That... it's a shop assistant, I haven't..."

Nie Yingying interrupted Su Yue's explanation again.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, there's

Things were progressing so smoothly that Su Yue couldn't help but wonder if there was a trap. Could there be something wrong with this shop? Are they trying to pull me in as a scapegoat?

Thinking this, Su Yue's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the fool playing with a dog nearby. A small red umbrella hung on his arm, but his entire body was almost soaked through by the rain. Looking at the dry cloth in the hands of the girl who had greeted her and the fool's messy hair, she must have just been wiping the rainwater off him.

"Yes, you saw it too. I have to take care of him now, so I can't attend to the shop's business, which is why I'm in such a hurry to find a store manager."

Seeing Su Yue's gaze, Nie Yingying immediately took the opportunity to explain.

"He... is the boss, right? I've heard Wenwen and the others mention him. What happened to him?"

"Sigh! It was all so sudden! He was hit by a car when he went out the day before yesterday. He's fine everywhere else, but his brain was damaged. I'm planning to take him to a big hospital in the capital to have him checked out."

Nie Yingying sighed, wearing an expression of extreme grief.

"This pet shop is his life's work, and I don't want to close it, so I decided not to hire a clerk, but to hire a manager to run it directly."

Everything made sense now, and Su Yue couldn't help but feel moved.

This girl must be his girlfriend, actually staying by his side and taking care of him without leaving. Looking at their handsome features, Su Yue couldn't help but feel like this was an idol drama come to life.

"Okay, I promise you I can try being the manager! But I... I really haven't done this before... I'm afraid..."

Su Yue's firm gaze gradually grew uncertain as she spoke, but fortunately, Nie Yingying didn't mind.

"That's great, if you don't know how, you can learn slowly! As for the salary, it's eight thousand for the first month, and it will increase by one hundred every month after that. If the shop's performance is good in the future, we can talk again! How about that?"

Su Yue's eyes widened. She had just graduated, and among her classmates, only a few could get a salary like this; most of her classmates were still working as interns with a salary of three thousand yuan!

"Okay, don't worry!... I still don't know what to call you!"

"My name is Nie Yingying. I'll leave the shop to you from now on!"

"Sister Yingying, I will definitely do my best!"

Su Yue felt full of motivation at this moment, her whole body brimming with strength!

After arranging everything in the shop, the sky had turned completely dark.

After officially giving the new store manager, Su Yue, a key, Nie Yingying was finally able to sit quietly in front of the computer at the bar to check the information on the 'Fairytale World' website.

The website was still dominated by news about the 'Rabbit Island Dispute'. Nie Yingying had never had the slightest interest in any 'Fairy Fish' anyway, so she skipped it directly, trying to find any forums related to the Elf race.

The noble, beautiful, wise, elegant, and ageless Elf bloodline had always been a key bloodline that Travelers focused on, especially female Travelers, who had almost all followed or simply searched for news about the Elf race. Unfortunately, even now, there was still no news about the specific location of the Elf race.

The information on the forums was mostly chaotic. Apart from the flattering posts, most of it was just about who was suspected of having Elf blood.

It is now generally accepted in the Traveler circle that the Elf race must be hidden somewhere in the 'Mist Forest' in the south of the Fairytale Continent. However, the 'Mist Forest' is too large, and almost all the southern kingdoms border the 'Mist Forest' or are simply located within it.

The most famous of these is the Longfang City-State, known as the 'Garden Kingdom'. Longfang City-State is less of a kingdom and more of a city—a huge city located in the Mist Forest, a city without any city walls.
