with more than 100 tool puppets working for him, Lin Cheng didn't need to worry about money at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing lunch, Lin Cheng and Eclair took Meng Meng to the amusement park in the prosperous town that she had dreamed of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combination of Lin Cheng, Eclair, and Meng Meng, if it weren't for the fact that Meng Meng didn't have a human appearance, looked exactly like a family of three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the process of entering the amusement park, some interesting little episodes did occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, how old are you this year?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man wearing reading glasses looked at Lin Cheng and Eclair walking together, a smile appeared on his face, and he said kindly, \"Bringing your wife and child to the amusement park to play today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the old man's voice fell, Eclair's eyes instantly became a bit flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blush quietly flashed across her delicate and pretty face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-old grandpa, you've got it wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, I am not this, this guy's wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eclair grabbed Meng Meng, who was a bit unresponsive on the ground, and held her in front of the old man, saying a bit flustered, \"Look, this is a bird, how could it be a human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, grandpa was wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the young lady and the young man look quite a good match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man adjusted the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, then saw Meng Meng's appearance clearly, and said with a dumbfounded smile, \"Forget it, forget it, grandpa won't say anything, hurry up and take your boyfriend inside to play.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My old lady is still waiting for me to go home and cook.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, the old man didn't wait for the blushing Eclair to continue saying anything, waved his hand at Lin Cheng, made a gesture that he didn't need to thank him, and then staggered away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Old man, if you can talk, say more.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng looked at the old man's back, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Eclair was looking left and right with a flustered expression, occasionally sneaking a peek at Lin Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, if no one had pointed it out, Eclair usually didn't have any special feelings when getting along with Lin Cheng, but after someone pointed it out, Eclair felt a bit of a heart-pounding sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's our turn to enter, Lin Cheng, let's go in quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After coughing twice to ease her fluster, Eclair acted as if nothing had happened, hugged Meng Meng, and quickly walked towards the ticket gate of the amusement park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, Lin Cheng didn't say much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing to say; Lin Cheng did have a good impression of Eclair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was Eclair and Meng Meng who took him in at the beginning, and although they said things like 'burden', when Lin Cheng had a fever, they still spent almost all their money to buy fever medicine for Lin Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Eclair was not ready yet, so Lin Cheng didn't plan to do too much; a small assist from the old man just now was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for falling in love, let's talk about it after Eclair's heart knot is untied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Eclair's heart knot, huh.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The phoenix sealed in the Phoenix Stone has at least the strength of a giant dragon or even a dragon king level, so I still need to accumulate more.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following behind Eclair, who was feeling heart-pounded, Lin Cheng looked at the system panel in his mind, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>",1206,"2026-06-16T12:13:33.210Z","2026-06-16T12:23:18.059Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","59480a53e438bd41c736a76c26a0af497bca841c20fcab197e3c6e7454308289","in-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-chapter-18","in-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-chapter-16",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fin-fairy-tail-apologies-i-am-the-mastermind-cover.jpg"]
