Chapter 1456: Fish Meat

Just like Li Ang saw in the "memory," after gathering her bright red long hair to the side of her neck, the red-haired Director reached out and gently stroked her sharp hair, staring blankly at the memory in her palm, lost in thought.

Perhaps it was because both Director Pisces and the Great Witch King knew that memories involving oneself shouldn't be given away recklessly, so the batch of memories he had stolen and swapped contained very little about the future, consisting only of a few sparse, blurry images.

And the version of himself in these memories also lacked the courage to face all of this; after learning the truth, he had also despicably chosen to temporarily conceal the facts, and subsequently, upon learning that the remnants of the East Calaven Kingdom were attempting to restore their nation with the help of the West Calaven Kingdom, he couldn't help but leave the capital to investigate.

After that, it was just a blurry scene that was difficult to identify, shadowy and completely unclear; he only knew that Li Ang had also rushed over, found him, and said something, and then it was just another chaotic future that couldn't be distinguished.

And in the very end, on this path where Li Ang did not marry Princess Veronica, he seemed to have developed certain feelings for him, and as for himself... he didn't seem to express refusal?

So, do I actually have a tiny bit of feelings for Li Ang too?

After forcefully grabbing her own hair, the red-haired director, suffering internally, let out a mournful sigh, then slumped down and began to bang her forehead against the desk with a thud-thud-thud, the force of each blow surprisingly great, shaking open the door that Li Ang hadn't closed tightly when he left.

Damn Pisces! Damn Great Witch King! What on earth is going on with the future? Can these bastards who love speaking in riddles just die already!

Also, once the matter of the East Calaven Kingdom begins, I will definitely be unable to stop myself from investigating, which would align with the future again, but now Li Ang is already married; what if something really happens between us?

Although I am a bad woman who likes to deceive people, sometimes even wanting to deceive myself, I didn't intend to be bad in this regard! I... hmm?

Faintly sensing something, the red-haired director suddenly raised her head and saw Lai La, who was grabbing the doorknob and preparing to secretly close the door; the "Miss Caught-in-the-Act" targeted by her instinctively shuddered, then waved her hands repeatedly in terror, saying:

"Director! I... I didn't mean to peek, I just came out of the storage room across the hall, saw that your door wasn't closed, and then..."

"..."

And then you saw me banging my head like a drum, right?

After rubbing her brow in speechlessness, the red-haired director waved her hand and said helplessly:

"It's fine, this isn't your fault, I accidentally forgot to close the door... By the way, Lai La, have you encountered any special situations recently?"

"I did see some things..."

Hearing the red-haired director's inquiry, Miss Caught-in-the-Act said hesitantly:

"But I don't know if the things I saw are the kind you need."

"Then just tell me about them!"

The red-haired director, whose mind was full of Li Ang, was in urgent need of a target to divert her attention; upon hearing Miss Caught-in-the-Act's words, she immediately reached out to open a can of beer and invited her with interest:

"Come, come, sit down and chat, just say whatever you saw."

Facing her director's invitation, Lai La, who had always been a bit afraid of her by intuition, didn't dare to refuse and had no choice but to move step by step to the chair opposite the desk, then carefully sat on the edge of it.

"When I was helping you buy alcohol the day before yesterday, I got on the wrong carriage after leaving the store, was mistaken for an accompanying maid, brought into the annex behind the palace, and saw two people wearing crowns..."

"Watching Watching Qiaoshuya rebelled with his mother?"

"Yes."

Watching Li Ang, who seemed to be in low spirits for some reason, Anna couldn't help but blink, then continued to chat: "However, that Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya doesn't seem very interested; the day after he was pulled into a secret talk by the former queen, he took the initiative to find Sister Veronica and report that the former queen was privately colluding with ministers and plotting something."

"What?"

Hearing Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's choice, Li Ang, who was sitting at the dining table at home and absent-mindedly shoveling pasta, couldn't help but raise his head in surprise and ask with some confusion:

"He went to Veronica to report his own mother?"

"Mm, that's what Sister Veronica said."

"..."

Good heavens, it feels like I haven't seen him in over two months, and Watching Watching Qiaoshuya seems less "human" than before? Is it that he knows Veronica wouldn't give such an opportunity, or has he completely given up after losing the throne?

After rolling up a mouthful of pasta with his fork and stuffing it into his mouth, Li "Sea King" Ang ate the loving dinner made by his sister while asking a few more questions about the attempted rebellion by Watching Watching Qiaoshuya and his mother with interest.

Anna, sensing that Li Ang seemed to have something on his mind, also intentionally chatted about recent events, hoping to help him relieve some stress, and as the two chatted, they ended up discussing whether Watching Watching Qiaoshuya was "sincere" or "insincere."

"I feel like he probably just learned how to pretend."

After thinking about Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's 【Arrogance】 bloodline, Li Ang forked a piece of cod and gestured with it:

"Just like this piece of fish you made, no matter how much he goes through changes, even if you pour oil, salt, sugar, and vinegar all over it, at most it just changes from raw cod to cooked cod; there's no way it could turn into grass carp."

"Not necessarily."

Anna blinked upon hearing this, then smiled and raised her hand, pointing at the fish in Li Ang's hand:

"Maybe you have a misunderstanding about him? Just like what you're holding in your hand right now, it wasn't cod to begin with, but sablefish I picked out from the cod stall."

Hmm? Isn't this stuff cod? The taste clearly isn't any different.

After being pointed out his mistake by Anna, Li Ang's cheeks turned red, and he hurriedly stuffed the fish on the fork into his mouth, then argued sophistically:

"It's all the same, it's all the same, the taste is about the same anyway, as long as the person eating it can't tell the difference... hiss..."

"What's wrong?"

Discovering that Li Ang suddenly hissed and stopped chewing halfway through eating, Anna was startled and hurriedly stood up:

"Did you get poked by a bone? Spit the bone out!"

"Oh, oh, no, no, I just suddenly remembered something."

After chewing twice and swallowing the fish in his mouth, Li Ang chuckled and comforted Anna, then began to ponder that extremely exaggerated "Sea King Line" and the red-haired director's slightly strange behavior.

No matter how you process cod, it won't turn into grass carp. By the same logic, even if I really became a Sea King to farm badges, it's impossible for me to evolve into a Deep Sea Cannon King in one go; there has to be a process.

And the taste of sablefish is the same as cod; I couldn't tell the difference at all just by eating it. By the same logic, although the last leaf the director gave me looks the same as the others, whether the "fish meat" inside is still the original one is hard to say!
