137. Ocean’s Heart
“Hmm~, this is really delicious. ”
Elrose put the empty ice cream bucket on the table, savoring the aftertaste of the rainbow ice cream in her mouth, her face filled with a blissful smile.
The sweet and tangy, cool sensation was simply too delicious.
If possible, I really want to have another one.
Lulu seemed to sense Elrose’s thoughts and smiled gently:
“Miss Elrose, if you still want to eat, after we finish the photoshoot, I’ll treat you to another one.”
Elrose’s eyes sparkled:
“Really?”
“Of course.”
“You are such a good person.”
“I’m not a good person.”
Lulu maintained a professional smile and said lightly: “I’m a businesswoman.”
After finishing the ice cream, Lulu took Elrose on a stroll and entered a clothing store.
The decoration of this shop was extremely luxurious; even someone like Elrose, who had no sense of fashion, could tell that the clothes here were high-end.
Elrose casually picked out a piece of clothing and looked at the tag.
208 Gold Coins.
Elrose’s pretty face darkened immediately.
Damn, just for one piece of clothing, I would have to serve dishes for over a decade to afford it.
Is this the world of the wealthy?
The store clerk saw Lulu and promptly came over: “Miss Lulu, how may I assist you?”
“Take out that set called ‘Ocean Princess’; I’ve found a suitable model.” Lulu said.
“Oh, really.” The clerk glanced over Lulu at Elrose and her eyes lit up.
With silky silver hair, ruby-like eyes, a slender figure, and that playful face.
“Wow, so cute.” The clerk exclaimed, “Miss Lulu, where did you find such a beautiful girl?”
“Hehe.” Lulu grinned, “Just don’t worry about that. Just say I want her to be the model for Ocean’s Heart, is she qualified?”
“Definitely qualified!”
“Alright.” Lulu nodded, “But this girl is leaving tonight, so we need to hurry. You take the clothes and have her change in the photography room; I’ll go get Ocean’s Heart and be right back.”
“Yes.”
Lulu turned to Elrose: “Miss Elrose, please change clothes here, and we will meet shortly.”
“Okay.” Elrose agreed.
As Lulu left, the clerk approached Elrose with a smile: “Miss Elrose, please follow me.”
“Mm.” Elrose followed the clerk slowly deeper into the clothing store.
At the top floor of Aotlan, Lulu used her fingerprint and magnetic card to unlock heavy doors, finally reaching the innermost room of all.
This was a fully covered white room made of high-density metal. Inside, there was an exquisite display case, and the necklace known as Ocean’s Heart lay quietly in the center.
Beside Ocean’s Heart stood a powerful man.
“Miss Lulu.” The man slowly rose and looked at Lulu with utmost respect.
Lulu wasted no time and directly said: “Ateran, I’m here to get Ocean’s Heart.”
“Here to get Ocean’s Heart?” On hearing this, the man named Ateran became vigilant, “This is a crucial period just before delivery; Miss Lulu, why do you need Ocean’s Heart right now?”
“To take photos.” Lulu said lightly, “I found a cute girl to model for Ocean’s Heart.”
“This…” Ateran frowned: “Miss Lulu, wouldn’t that be too much? The reputation of Ocean’s Heart is so great that almost everyone knows it. Although it is indeed a precious gem, its fame is more due to the rumors that within it lies a fragment of the Ocean Goddess’s soul, which can even summon the legendary leviathan from the deep sea through this remnant.”
“Thus, I personally believe that the guests attending the auction are more interested in its research value rather than its artistic value. Therefore, I believe that finding a model for a photoshoot might be excessive. In fact, casually taking out Ocean’s Heart could potentially create unnecessary risks.”
“Talking too much.” Lulu lifted her chin proudly and said, “You’ve said a lot, but right now I’m the boss, and I have the final say. I want you to—”
She then reached out to take Ocean’s Heart. Understood?
Lantes sighed helplessly, not saying much further. He operated the display case equipment briefly before taking out Ocean’s Heart and handing it to Lulu.
“I never expected that one day, a Saint Tier Expert like me would be ordered around by this little girl who hasn’t even fully grown.” Lantes said.
“What’s wrong with that? Money can make the devil push the grind.” Lulu said, holding Ocean’s Heart with a slight smile, “Even the strongest Saint Tier Expert is still human, and as long as they are human and live in human society, they will need money. In fact, to enhance your power, you Saint Tier Experts may need money even more than ordinary people.”
“So, you becoming our worker is quite normal.” Lulu smiled broadly and said: “This is the power of money.”
“Go to hell, little girl. Why do I feel like you are so arrogant? Aren’t you afraid I’d punch you to death?”
“Of course not, because you wouldn’t do that. You’re not that kind of person.” Lulu blinked her eyes and smiled lightly: “As a businesswoman, the most important thing is vision. If I can’t even understand my own subordinates, then I might as well not be in this line of work.”
Having said that, Lulu didn’t linger and turned to leave the white room.
“It’s no wonder you are from the Aotlan family; you are truly astoundingly shrewd.” Lantes sighed helplessly and followed her.
The exchange of Ocean’s Heart was smoothly completed. Before that, whether Ocean’s Heart was in the white room or in Miss Lulu’s hands, he must ensure its safety.
“This… is this me?”
Elrose stood dazed in front of the mirror, somewhat mesmerized by her reflection.
A string of sapphire necklaces on her head, wearing an exquisite deep blue gauzy dress, the light and transparent skirt floated behind her, and on her fair legs were a pair of beautiful crystal shoes.
Her originally cute face was further enhanced by the light makeup applied by a professional.
As the saying goes, clothes make the person; Elrose had an excellent foundation, and with the ordinary casual wear removed and replaced with princess-level attire, along with the subtle embellishments by a professional, Elrose’s charm skyrocketed instantly.
In that moment, she truly seemed to transform into the legendary Ocean Princess, her beauty deeply shocking everyone in the photography room.
Of course, this included herself.
Elrose reached out her right hand to touch her reflection in the mirror, a faint blush rising on her face.
Ahhh~, oh my god, my deity.
How can I be this cute?
Such a lovely girl, I must find a way to marry her.
