Chapter 454: Chapter 443: Pistachio

As Xia Yue cooed soothing words, the sea otter gradually calmed down, but its gaze toward Yan Mo didn’t relax.

"It’s highly vigilant, very good. No wonder it could sneak over such a great distance without being detected." Yan Mo’s eyes were filled with praise as he spoke.

"Don’t flatter it too much, its tail might lift to the sky if you do. I bet it would come back again next time." Xia Yue petted it all the while looking at him as she said this.

"Just speaking the truth." Yan Mo shrugged and then sat next to her, smiling.

He watched the sea otter crouched down at her feet.

"Buddy, would you like to go back to the sea, it’s better suited for your life. There’s no sea water here, you’ll be uncomfortable." Xia Yue patiently persuaded.

"Aww aww aww", the otter seemed to say, "I want to eat this."

The sea otter took out a pistachio shell from its own bag.

It was a shell from a pistachio she had accidentally left behind. To her surprise, the critter had stored it away and now took it out to show her.

"Let me ask if there are more of these." Xia Yue looked at its hopeful eyes and said.

Xia Yue took out her phone and called Ziluo.

"Boss, what’s up?" Ziluo picked up the phone and curiously asked.

It was unusual for her to call so late.

"Can you tell me if the snack bar at the Ghost House sells pistachios?" Xia Yue asked.

"Yes." Ziluo resopnded.

"I’ll take three packs, please make a note of it." said Xia Yue.

"Ok, no problem" Ziluo thought she wanted it for herself, so she didn’t ask further.

"Thanks, that was it, bye." Xia Yue said.

"Bye".

Both parties hung up.

"I will take you to get some pistachios now, then take you back to the coast. After eating, you must go to sleep obediently in your den, not follow us back and, no more sneaking here, do you understand? It’s very dangerous, there are many people here during the day. If discovered, you’ll be sent far, far away, it would be virtually impossible to come back." Xia Yue held its head, looked into its eyes, and sternly told it.

"Aww aww aww." The sea otter nodded in agreement.

"Let’s go to the shop at the Ghost House first, get some pistachios, and then take it back." Xia Yue looked at Yan Mo as she spoke.

"Alright, I’ll bring the patrol car over. Isn’t ideal for it to wait up front." Yan Mo nodded in agreement.

"Ok." Xia Yue nodded.

Xia Yue and the sea otter waited on the spot as Yan Mo went to retrieve the patrol car parked in front of the hotel.

It didn’t take long for him to return. Xia Yue sat at the back carrying the sea otter, carefully steadying it so as not to fall off.

Yan Mo drove up front.

When they reached the Ghost House’s shop, Xia Yue asked them to stay put in the vehicle while she went out to buy the pistachios.

The sea otter behaved and stayed where it was, occasionally grooming its fur.

Yan Mo watched its movements, thinking it was amusing.

Less than five minutes later, Xia Yue returned with three packs of pistachios and got back in the car.

"Alright, let’s go. We’re off to the coast." Xia Yue told Yan Mo.

"Ok." Yan Mo drove toward the coast.

"Aww aww aww", seeing what Xia Yue had in hand, the sea otter reached its paw out wanting to grab at it.

"I’ll peel them for you. Sit tight, don’t fall off. It will hurt if you do." Xia Yue removed its paw and sternly said.

After several unsuccessful attempts, the sea otter gave up and resumed its position, its gaze fixed on her hands, waiting to be fed.

There was another possible implication to the sea otter’s behaviour-- making sure she didn’t sneak a bite.
