Chapter 143 What to do? Give him a grand ceremony!

It was almost dawn when Annelia quietly left Xu Shisan's room and returned to her own room.

……

When the sun rose and the sky became bright, everyone got up and went downstairs to see Annelia off before she left.

Annelia stood in front of Braden, waved to everyone, and then jumped onto Braden's flying summoned beast.

Gu Yun, Li Feiyang, Hu Kai, Shen Xuanang and others waved goodbye.

With a surge of air, Braden's flying summoned beast flew away.

As they went away, Annelia couldn't help but look back frequently, looking at Xu Shisan below with eyes full of reluctance.

After Aniliya left, Li Feiyang suddenly patted Xu Shisan on the shoulder and asked him, "Shisan, I want to ask you something. Do you know who Aniliya's father is?"

Hearing Li Feiyang ask this, Xu Shisan frowned and said, "I don't know."

Xu Shisan also asked who Annelia's father was, but she never told him.

To be honest, Xu Shisan was also very curious about Annelia's true identity.

Because he felt that Braden seemed very respectful to Annelia.

So Xu Shisan asked back: "Why? Do you know?"

In response, Li Feiyang, Hu Kai and others quickly shook their heads.

"No, no, no, we don't know either."

Li Feiyang, Hu Kai, Shen Xuanang and the others really didn't know either, but they guessed a little.

Because when Annelia disappeared, Braden came in person to question the crime, President Jones of Eagle Country went to Dragon Country in person to question the crime, and President Ethan went to the restricted area in person to look for her.

All these show that Annelia's identity is unusual.

However, after all, no one had asked Annelia, and Annelia had never talked about it, so everyone was just guessing.

In response, Xu Shisan shook his head and said casually: "Who cares about her identity? Even if she is the daughter of the President of Eagle Country, so what?"

Yes, no matter what her identity is, Xu Shisan has already slept with her. Even if Aniliya is the daughter of the President of Eagle Country, Xu Shisan has to bite the bullet and meet her father.

It is a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided!
In response, Li Feiyang and Hu Kai looked at each other and said nothing.

the other side.

Inside Imperial College.

Since learning yesterday that Xu Shisan had returned safely, Xia Keer cried for several hours, gradually changing from wailing to sobbing, and finally fell asleep in Chen Xi's arms, and only woke up this morning.

When Xia Ke'er woke up again, she felt relaxed and even the air tasted sweet.

During the days when Xu Shisan disappeared, Xia Ke'er could hardly sleep all night and hid in her room crying every day. If Chen Xi hadn't been by her side constantly comforting her, Xia Ke'er would have given up long ago.

Seeing Xia Ke'er wake up, Chen Xi couldn't help but joked, "Ke'er, you can rest assured now, right? I said Thirteen was a lucky guy who wouldn't die. Look at you, you haven't eaten or drunk anything these days, and you cry every day. If you don't know, you would think you are his wife."

"No, I'm not that sad." Xia Ke'er said awkwardly.

Little did she know that the smile of joy on her lips could not be concealed.

"Not very sad? Haha, my baby, your eyes have been swollen for several days. If Thirteen comes back now, he will definitely say that you look so ugly." Chen Xi continued to joke.

"Ah? Are my eyes swollen? How come I didn't know?"

Xia Ke'er was like a frightened little rabbit. She quickly went to the mirror and checked herself.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

Since Xu Shisan disappeared, Xia Ke'er has never looked in the mirror again. When she looked at herself in the mirror today, she found that her hair was messy, her face was haggard, her eyes were swollen from crying, and were bloodshot. She looked like she was sick and looked very ugly.

"Oh, it's so ugly. No, no, I need to go wash up."

"Ke'er, don't be in a hurry to deal with these things. Have you forgotten that yesterday Shisan asked you to tell Zhizhi and his senior sister Lin about his return?" Chen Xi reminded them.

"Oh, I just remembered it." Xia Keer slapped her head, she almost forgot about it.

When Xu Shisan called her on the wireless phone yesterday, he specifically asked her to notify Shen Zhizhi and Lin Muxue.

Thinking of this, Xia Ke'er hurried out and came to Lin Muxue's room, wanting to tell her, but found that Lin Muxue had locked the door.

Seeing this, Xia Ke'er had no choice but to give up. She went back to her room and immediately called Shen Zhizhi on the walkie-talkie.

Ever since Xu Shisan disappeared, Shen Zhizhi seemed to have lost his soul. He hid in his room every day in a daze, refusing to eat or drink.

After receiving Xia Ke'er's call, Shen Zhizhi was stunned for a long time, and then began to cry loudly in the room, alarming the entire Shen family.

In this way, the news of Xu Shisan's successful return was known to the Shen family and the Lin family.

the other side.

Annelia's side.

Under Braden's leadership, Annelia first returned to the checkpoint where the Eagle Country was stationed, and then returned to the Eagle Country at the checkpoint.

After returning to Eagle Country, Braden took Annelia directly to the White Palace.

This is where President Jones usually lives, and this is also where Annelia lives.

"Sir, I brought Princess Anne back." Braden knocked on President Jones' door, then motioned for Annelia to go in.

After Annelia went in, Braden also left tactfully.

inside the room.

Looking at Annelia who returned safely, Jones's face was very calm, with no expression of joy, anger, sorrow or happiness, and his face was serious.

Seeing her father like this, Annelia knew he was angry, very angry.

So she stepped forward obediently and shouted, "Dad, I'm back."

Jones didn't respond. He remained serious and expressionless.

Then Jones slowly stood up and took out a long bamboo stick from the table behind him.

He came to his daughter and said coldly: "Stretch out your hand!"

Seeing this, Annelia did not dare to disobey and obediently stretched out her right hand with her palm facing up.

"Snapped!"

The bamboo stick fell and hit Annelia's palm hard, causing her to grimace in pain.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

The bamboo stick hit Annelia's palm several times in a row, all of which hit her palm hard, making it swollen.

However, Annelia didn't say a word and endured it with a grimace.

"Does it hurt?" asked Jones, the father.

"It hurts." Annelia replied.

"You still feel the pain, right? Let me ask you, I agreed to let you join the hunting team and go to the Dragon Country as an exchange team member, but what did you promise me?"

"I promise you that I will never be in danger. If there is any danger, run away." Annelia replied.

"Then why did you disappear for a month?!"

"Dad, it's not what you think, at that time"

Just as Aniliya was about to explain, Jones interrupted her and said, "Let me ask you, did the Dragon Country hunting team deliberately frame you and put you in danger?"

"of course not."

"Let me ask you again. The Dragon Country told me that you encountered an S-rank crocodile dragon beast in the restricted area, and you took him to escape to the restricted area in order to save a Dragon Country citizen. Is this true or false?"

"It's true." Annelia nodded decisively.

"Why do you do this?" Jones demanded.

Annelia quickly explained:
"Dad, when we encountered that S-level crocodile dragon beast, we couldn't escape. It was that guy, a member of the Dragon Country team, who took the initiative to stay behind to cover our retreat in order to save all of us. That's how we escaped."

"After we escaped, we were really worried, so I rode the bat-winged dragon snake back quickly. I saw that the team member was unconscious, so I quickly rescued him and fled to the depths of the restricted area."

"You can still escape from an S-level crocodile dragon beast? A small member of the Dragon Country team can cover your retreat? Annie, do you really think your father is a fool?" "Dad, it's true. Annie didn't lie to you. That member of the Dragon Country team is the one named Xu Shisan whom I told you about before. It was him who defeated me in the Summoner Competition. He has a powerful summoned beast comparable to S-level. Many people know it." Anneliya explained quickly.

"Is it him?" Jones frowned, thinking.

He had heard Annie talk about this Xu Shisan.

It is possible for a summoned beast comparable to S-level to hold back an S-level Crocodile Dragon Beast.

"After I rescued him, I fled all the way to the depths of the restricted area. There were flying beasts chasing us, so I quickly fled into a very hidden cave and finally got safe."

"That guy has been in a coma for more than half a month. After he woke up, he was seriously injured and couldn't walk. I couldn't just leave him there. That's why I delayed him for so long and came back only after he recovered from his injuries."

Annelia's explanation was perfect. After listening to it, Jones thought for a moment and then gradually believed it.

"Dad, I'm sorry. Please don't be angry because of my daughter's worrying you." At this time, Annelia said coquettishly again.

No father would truly blame his daughter, and Jones' heart softened when he saw his daughter admit her mistake.

"Annie, remember, ever since the day you became a summoner, Dad has assigned people to protect you. The reason for this is that he is afraid that you will encounter any danger. If anything happens to you, Dad will let your mother down, do you know that?"

"I'm sorry, Dad. I was wrong. I will never make you worry again."

"Does your hand still hurt?" Jones felt very distressed when he saw Annelia's swollen palm.

"It won't hurt if you're not angry."

"Sweet talk, why don't you go and ask your uncle Braden to apply the liquid on you."

"Don't worry, Dad, can I..."

"No, you just stay here for the time being and you can't go anywhere."

"Oh, then after the game, can I go over for a while?"

"I'll think about it. Okay, go and heal your wounds."

"Oh, then I'll go out first."

Just as Aniliya was about to leave, she turned back again and asked tentatively, "Dad, what would you do if I brought back a boyfriend?"

"How to do?"

Jones snorted.

"Give him a grand ceremony!"

Annelia: “.”

This is the third checkpoint of the wall.

After Xu Shisan returned, he continued to participate in the hunting competition because the competition time had not yet ended.

There is still one month left until the end of the hunting competition.

However, in this month, the crowd did not go deep into the restricted area to hunt ferocious beasts. Instead, they just wandered around the periphery of the restricted area, killing any ferocious beasts they encountered, and it did not matter if they encountered any at all.

The reason why everyone was playing badly was because they were already sure of winning this hunting competition.

The last time, after Xu Shisan summoned Seraph 001, he killed two S-level crocodile dragon beasts in seconds. The remaining head of the male S-level crocodile dragon beast was picked up by Gu Yun and others and buried in their secret base.

You know, hunting an S-level beast is equivalent to hunting one hundred A-level beasts and ten thousand B-level beasts.

Everyone doesn't have to do anything, just take the S-shaped Crocodile Dragon's head and go to receive the prize.

The first place must belong to Dragon Country!

Just like that, a month passed quickly.

Tomorrow is the day to go to the fifth checkpoint and calculate the harvest of teams from various countries. It is also the day to determine the ranking of this hunting competition.

Other national teams had already gone to the fifth level with the prey they had harvested. Xu Shisan, Gu Yun and his team also went to the fifth level with the spoils of the competition.

For convenience, everyone only took one prey, which was the head of the crocodile dragon.

In the evening of that day, everyone successfully reached the fifth checkpoint.

The fifth checkpoint was guarded by the Yue army. Under the guidance of several Yue soldiers, everyone entered the checkpoint.

Their Dragon Country team was the last to arrive. Teams from other countries had arrived earlier, some even having arrived two days ago.

The other teams have also stored the prey they hunted at the Yue army training ground.

It was already evening, and the other national teams had gone back to rest. Several Yue soldiers brought Xu Shisan and his companions to the training ground and said to them, "This is where the spoils are stored. Please temporarily store the spoils of this hunting competition here. Someone from the Holy City Judgment Court will be responsible for counting and checking them tomorrow."

"Also, those are the spoils of war from teams from various countries. They have been stored away. We will assign people to guard them at night. Please do not touch the spoils of war from teams from other countries."

Listening to the stories of the Vietnamese soldiers, everyone looked at the spoils piled up by other national teams on the training ground.

The most eye-catching thing was the pile of spoils piled next to them.

The tails, teeth, horns, neck skin, shells and other parts of various ferocious beasts were piled up like a mountain. Upon closer inspection, many of them were parts of B-level ferocious beasts, and there were also many from A-level ferocious beasts.

The number is so large that just by visual estimation, there are thousands of them.

Presumably, this is the spoils of the Eagle Country Hunting Team. It seems that their harvest in the past four months is quite good.

Placed on the top were the corpses of several A-level ferocious beasts.

"Zhou Qi, bring out our harvest as well."

Afterwards, under the order of Captain Gu, Zhou Qi asked the tree demon following behind him to place a "rattan ball" in the corner of the training ground.

The so-called rattan ball is that Zhou Qi asked his tree demon to wrap the S-level crocodile dragon beast's head with vines. It was wrapped tightly and looked like a rattan ball woven with vines.

Seeing that the Dragon Country team only had a small amount of prey, the Yue Country soldier was also very surprised, but he did not dare to ask more questions and continued to speak to everyone: "Since you have already stored the spoils, follow me. We have prepared a room for you."

Afterwards, Gu Yun, Xu Shisan and others followed the Yue soldier to the residence arranged for them by the Yue army.

As a result, as soon as they left the Vietnamese army's training ground, Xu Shisan and Gu Yun saw Annelia and Braden beside her.

After seeing Gu Yun, Annelia hurried over to greet her.

"Sister Gu, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Annie, when did you arrive?" Gu Yun hugged Annie in her arms.

"Our Eagle Country team arrived at noon today, and teams from other countries also arrived earlier. During the day today, the teams from various countries had competitions in the training ground. I thought you would arrive in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to come so late. Everyone has returned to the wall to rest." Annelia explained.

"Oh, I see. We were delayed on the way, so we came here so late."

"Have you eaten yet?" Annelia asked again.

“It’s been resolved on the way.”

"Miss, it's getting dark, let's go back and rest." At this time, Braden on the side interrupted.

"Okay, then Sister Gu, I'll go back and rest. You've been on the road all day, so go back and rest as well."

Annelia said goodnight to Gu Yun, Li Feiyang, Hu Kai and others one by one.

Before leaving, Annelia secretly gave Xu Shisan a look.

Xu Shisan thought that Annelia would sneak into his room again today, but she didn't.

After Xu Shisan, Gu Yun and others rested for a night in the room arranged by the Yue army, the next day was the day when the hunting competition officially ended and it was time to officially clear the prey.

Early in the morning, members of the nine countries' teams gathered at the training ground of the Yue army. In addition, there were personnel specially sent by the Holy City Arbitration Court to preside over the end of the competition, as well as representatives of the checkpoint armies of various countries.

A large group of people gathered on the training ground, looking at the nine piles of prey on the training ground, and couldn't help talking.

"Oh my god, is that what the Eagle Country team got this time? I actually saw the body parts of seven or eight A-level beasts."

"Seven or eight? You didn't look carefully enough. There are more than a dozen on the surface alone. If converted into B-level summoned beasts, there are at least four or five thousand of these corpses."

"It's over. What's the point of competing? The first place must be from the Eagle Country team."

"If we can't beat the first, we'll beat the second. At worst, we'll beat the third."

"Yeah, why would we compete with the Eagle Country Team? That's asking for trouble. I heard that the Eagle Country Team's hunting team has been going deep into the restricted area to hunt ferocious beasts since the second month. It's only natural that they can get this much."

"Deep into the restricted area? So fierce? Aren't they afraid of getting into danger?"

"Who knows? However, although the hunting members of the Eagle Country team are all B-level summoners like us, they are all extremely powerful. It is not surprising that they can go deep into the restricted area."
