Chapter 423 The child’s mother

Chapter 423 The child’s mother

"That's not the case. She's... uh, what's your mother's name?"

Hearing Charlotte's question, Liu Bai shook his head, but he rarely called out Apep's name, so he couldn't remember what it was for a moment.

"Grass Dragon, Hometown, Mom."

Qingqing answered Liu Bai's questions happily.

These elemental creatures all like Apep very much, just like people from different countries like their own gods.

"Oh yes, the former dragon prince Apepu of the fallen country is the woman next to my mother, the Great Mercy Tree Queen."

After hearing Qingqing's answer, Liu Bai remembered Apep's identity and nodded to explain to Charlotte.

"Oh, is she the one who went back to Jingshan Palace with the Great Mercy Tree King yesterday? I remember she played the role of the Flower Knight of the Great Mercy Tree King yesterday!"

Charlotte also watched the Flora Festival in the crowd yesterday, so she had some impression of Apep who was standing next to the protagonist of the Flora Festival.

The Flower Knight's attire is also easy to recognize.

"Yeah, that's right, my Qingqing is her child, but now my girl and I are taking care of her."

Liu Bai responded and continued to explain.

"Whose child does she have? Could it be...Oh my God, I really want to interview her!"

Charlotte's eyes lit up and she guessed excitedly.

"I don't know either. How about I take you to ask her?"

Liu Bai scratched her head. She only knew that Apepu was a pregnant woman, but she had no idea whose child it was.

"Is it really possible? Please, Xiaobai!"

Charlotte stood up excitedly and prepared to set off immediately.

"Okay, let's go."

Liu Bai and Qingqing had almost finished eating the coconut charcoal cakes they bought. He nodded and immediately stood up.

In this way, under the guidance of Liu Bai, Charlotte easily entered the Palace of Wisdom of the Ordinance Hall.

"As expected of Master Xumi, he can even enter the Grass God's office without notifying anyone. When a little reporter like me is in Fontaine, I have to make an appointment to see Lady Funina, although I usually go to the shop where she buys cakes."

In the elevator to Grass God's office, Charlotte spoke with some emotion.

I heard that he was able to come and go freely in Momang Palace back then, except for Lady Funina's boudoir.

"Humph."

Liu Bai immediately crossed his arms and raised his head, feeling very proud of his privilege.

It was just that Qingqing on his head almost fell off again, but luckily Qingqing reacted quickly by biting her hair.

After a while, the elevator arrived at the office on the top floor.

Previously, this office was used by the former great sage Azar, a sage of the Minglun School who specialized in astronomy and astrology. Therefore, the office has a distinct Minglun style. For example, when you come out of the elevator, you can see a blue-green sphere floating above your head and slowly rotating. The structure is somewhat similar to the "globe" in Liu Bai's impression.

Since this office looks soothing and the quiet atmosphere is suitable for working, Nashida and the Great Compassionate Tree King have no plans to redecorate it.

"Mom~!"

Walking out of the elevator with Charlotte, Liu Bai immediately called out sweetly to the Great Kind Tree King in front of the desk, then trotted over.

"I'm here. Are you here to look for Nashida? She's outside debugging the void."

The Great Compassionate Tree King nodded gently in response.

"No, mom. I'm here to borrow someone from you. She wants to interview Qingqing's mom."

Liu Bai shook his head, then pointed at Charlotte who was following him and Qingqing above his head and explained.

"I see. You are the reporter I met yesterday. But you have to ask me if I can interview you."

The Great Compassionate Tree King nodded and then looked to the side.

On a chair not far away, Apep was reading a book about elemental power.

This office is very large. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is another floor of the Wisdom Palace Library. The surrounding area is filled with bookshelves of the Wisdom Palace. The books inside are all very rare and unique copies. Generally, only sages are qualified to read them.

"Okay, thanks mom, let's go ask the pink-haired boy."

Liu Bai nodded to thank the Great Tree King, then took Charlotte and walked over there.

Feeling someone approaching, Apep looked up, then ignored him and lowered his head to continue reading.

"Um... Mom, someone wants to interview you."

Liu Bai thought about it seriously and quickly came up with this name.

"..."

Apep subconsciously clenched his hand holding the book, almost crushing the precious book in his hand.

"If you scream like that again, I'm going to beat you up in front of Buyer!"

Apep put down the book in his hand and looked at Liu Bai with gritted teeth.

If this damn name is heard by Boyer, I will...

"Indeed, Ms. Apep is right. Xiaobai, you should never say this name carelessly in the future."

Charlotte nodded her head in agreement with Apep's words, and even Mr. Wen Henting, who was floating beside her, nodded his head up and down.

"Eh? But she is indeed Qingqing's mother..."

Liu Bai scratched his head in confusion, but seeing Charlotte's serious look, he had no choice but to shut up.

Apep ignored Liu Bai and looked at Charlotte.

She had an impression of Charlotte, having just met her yesterday. Charlotte had disrupted her private time with the Great Compassionate Tree King, which made her a little unhappy.

"Hello, Ms. Apep, I'm Charlotte, a reporter assigned by the Steambird Newspaper. May I ask you a few questions?"

Charlotte got into work mode and asked Apep politely.

"Okay, just ask."

Apep nodded proudly, considering that Charlotte had just helped to talk about Liu Bai.

When it comes to ordinary humans, she usually has no interest in talking.

"It's like this, may I ask if this little girl Qingqing is your daughter?"

Charlotte asked as she took out her notebook, ready to take notes.

"Oh, in your human terms, it is true. I conceived it in my body."

Apep nodded.

Qingqing is just an elemental life and does not have the noble bloodline of the Grass Dragon.

But for many humans, the life that results from this behavior is offspring, regardless of blood relationship or not.

"Is that so? Then may I ask again, this little Qingqing's... um, father? I mean, who gave birth to her with you?"

Charlotte asked curiously.

The reason why she asked this question and thought about this aspect was because yesterday when she was squatting on the road that must be passed by Jingshan Palace, she saw an extremely explosive scene.

"Buyer, you smell so good..."

"You must be smelling it wrongly. I have already used up that perfume a long time ago, so how can there still be a smell?"

'Even without the perfume...if I smell it carefully...it still smells so good!'

"I really can't help you, but don't get too close to me, and don't get your face too close..."

"Hmm... who is it?!"

Charlotte didn't expect to see such an exciting scene.

However, she didn't dare to publish this, but it didn't affect her curiosity at all.

"Born together?"

Apep was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned around to look at the Great Tree King who was not paying attention to this side.

"Of course I conceived it alone, what else?"

After taking a look at the Great Kind Tree King, Apep turned around and spoke to Charlotte as a matter of course.

"Eh?"

Charlotte was a little disappointed with Apep's answer. She thought there would be more explosive content, although she didn't dare to publish it.

"Hmm, little pink-haired boy, you are a tiny human, but you dare to have wild thoughts in your head."

"But you have to know that I will not allow anyone to tarnish the reputation of Boyer, even if the object of the scandal is me."

Apep knew what Charlotte had seen yesterday, so he said this to her with his arms folded across his chest.
