Bai Yujing took a box out of the backpack, immediately capturing the attention of Shen Fei and Emma. Shen Fei quickly asked, "What is this?"
Emma had seen it before and naturally knew what was inside: "Alice and Kaka?"
Bai Yujing nodded. Since they were already here, there was no need to hide anything: "That's right, inside are two Leprechauns, which are a crucial clue for us to find this Sky Island. I believe that dealing with these Leprechauns should be left to them. I think Alice and Kaka can become our representatives here!"
Bai Yujing was also trying to secure some rights for Alice and Kaka because Bai Yujing realized that the hierarchy among the Leprechauns was quite strict. Since Alice and Kaka were newcomers, it would likely be difficult for them to fit in. Moreover, Bai Yujing indeed needed a trustworthy Leprechaun to act as a representative for their group here.
Emma nodded: "This is indeed a very good idea!"
As soon as Alice and Kaka emerged, they stood on Bai Yujing's hand: "Where is this? It feels so comfortable here!"
Bai Yujing smiled: "Take a look behind you!"
Alice turned around and discovered a small city. Of course, this was just small compared to what Bai Yujing and the others had seen, but for Alice, the city still appeared quite grand: "Is this...?"
Alice looked at Bai Yujing in disbelief, and Bai Yujing nodded: "That's right, welcome home, Alice. This is Lilliput!"
Alice hugged Kaka and said, "Kaka, we are home! There are many of our kin here; this is our homeland!"
Kaka smiled and nodded. Although she appeared calm, she was extremely excited inside; after waiting for so long, they had finally arrived.
Bai Yujing said to Alice: "Alice, since everyone here is your kin, I may need to conduct some transactions with them later. Therefore, I want to assign this task to you and Kaka to act as our representatives, communicating with them and completing the transactions on our behalf. What do you think? This could also be a great opportunity for you to better integrate into this country!"
Alice lowered her head and whispered with Kaka for a while, then turned to Bai Yujing and said, "We are very willing!"
Alice's cooperation also made Bai Yujing very happy. After all, their size and various issues made communication and trade with these Leprechauns a significant challenge. It was difficult for them to gain the recognition of these creatures.
However, Alice and Kaka were different; she was one of the Leprechauns. Psychologically, these Leprechauns would easily accept her, and Bai Yujing could avoid a lot of trouble by entrusting her with what they wanted. The rest would just be about mutual exchange and negotiation of interests.
Before long, a young man dressed in fine clothing appeared on the city wall. He looked around and finally focused on Bai Yujing, speaking in Lilliputian Language: "Hello, Giant. I am Lord Rod Pus of Pus City. I heard that you wanted to see me and had some matters to discuss, so I came here specifically. What can I do for you?"
Bai Yujing nodded, "It’s a pleasure to meet you, Lord Rod Pus. We are passing through here and need to resupply, so we would like to make a trade with you. However, due to our size issue, trading directly with you is not particularly convenient. Therefore, I have found a representative who will conduct the trade and negotiations on behalf of me and my kin. Everything will be handled by her!"
As Bai Yujing spoke, he raised his palm up to the city wall's edge. The enormous hand and movement startled the guards and Rod Pus standing on the wall, fearing that Bai Yujing might accidentally crush them into pulp with a single slap.
However, when his hand reached the level of the wall, it stopped. Rod Pus saw a man and a woman standing before him; the girl had light brown hair and was very beautiful. Rod Pus's expression changed; this hair color was extremely rare among Lilliputians and Leprechauns—he had almost never seen it before. Most Lilliputians had black or blonde hair; he had never encountered anyone with brown hair.
"Hello, I am Alice Lutus. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I will represent the Giants in our trade!" Alice performed a bow using her family's traditional etiquette towards Rod Pus, her red dress reflecting brilliant colors in the sunlight.
However, one of his aides turned pale at that moment. From the moment he first saw Alice, his expression had been off; now it truly changed as he leaned in to whisper to Rod Pus: "Be aware that brown hair is the royal color associated with the Lotus Family, which has represented divine rule over Lilliput since ancient times. The etiquette she just performed is an ancient form—very standard—this girl is of royal descent and has lineage!"
At that moment, another attendant approached with a Secret Letter and handed it to Rod Pus. After reading it, Rod Pus's expression changed dramatically; the Lilliputian coalition had been defeated, and his brother along with all their troops had perished on the battlefield as cannon fodder. The Lilliput Kingdom was likely finished, and he—without an army—was like a piece of prime meat with no chance to surrender.
Rod Pus then looked at Alice again before glancing at Bai Yujing along with Emma and Shen Fei beside him. A flood of thoughts surged through his mind as he quickly reached a conclusion; he immediately knelt down: "Lord Pus greets Princess Alice!"
Rod Pus's words and actions left Alice somewhat bewildered: "My Lord Viscount, please stand up! You must be mistaken about Princess Alice; I am not any kind of princess!"
Rod Pus remained kneeling on the ground. "No, you are the one. Three hundred years ago, because a king of the Lotus Family openly defied the divine Messenger, he was completely exiled by the divine Messenger Lemuel Gulliver. In the chaos, Betrayed King Brandt seized the throne, but due to the misdeeds of the Brand Family, the royal lineage was cut off twenty years ago. So now Lilliput has no king. Your return at this time, brought back by the divine Messenger, must be by divine will, to lead us, the Lilliput Kingdom, to glory once again!"
"Princess Alice? What do you mean there is no king?" Bai Yujing was somewhat bewildered. I just wanted to make a deal; how did it seem like I had gotten involved in a bloody struggle?
