Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Jiang Lihua kept her head down, looking shy. If it weren't for the neural connection device, she probably wouldn't be able to say a word right now.

"Ah, I understand, I understand. Even without this incident, our little Lihua has already fallen for her teacher Mo Mo and is determined to marry him, isn't she?"

"Karen, if you keep bullying me, I'm really going to get angry!"

Karen shrugged, turned on the so-called song, and said, "Let me see what song made you look like this, Lihua. Is it a love song?"

And then, the lyrics immediately appeared before Karen's eyes. She blinked and said, "What? These saccharine lyrics, did Mo Mo really write this?"

It's no wonder Karen gave such a review, after all, the lyrics are really sweet, and it's hard to imagine that they came from the hand of a man.

The song is titled "The Emperor's Four Laws," and the lyrics are roughly as follows.

……

The first point is, if everyone has...

A compassionate heart would be wonderful.

The second rule is that you cannot lie.

Sincerity is the most important thing

……

Thirdly, let's all stop arguing.

It would be so much better to speak properly.

Fourth, start from the inside.

Harmony between each other is the most important thing

……

Please, everyone, please help me!

Let's build the right country together.

Before that, delicious things

Keep them all safe

I love you

……

Looking at the saccharine lyrics and the overly sweet atmosphere they exuded, Karen felt goosebumps rise all over her body. If this was really written by Mo Mo, then she even felt that she should reconsider her relationship with Mo Mo.

However, upon glancing at Jiang Lihua, Karen noticed that Jiang Lihua was still blushing, but she couldn't help humming the tune of the song, with a sweet smile on her lips, her expression full of happiness.

Seeing Jiang Lihua's expression, Karen felt it was best not to express her opinion.

"Karen, what's wrong? Don't you like this song? I think it's great!"

To avoid hurting Jiang Lihua's feelings, Karen could only say, "I still prefer more passionate and intense songs. I don't like the style, that's all."

Jiang Lihua nodded with some disappointment, and Karen breathed a sigh of relief, at least she had gotten away with it. Having to answer Jiang Lihua while simultaneously controlling her own thoughts was truly no easy task.

"But Lihua, I'm curious, how did you come to this... It seems Mo Mo has feelings for you and is giving you hints. To me, this isn't just an ordinary song, is it?"

Jiang Lihua was taken aback, then said in surprise, "Isn't it obvious? Look at Karen, this song was written for me by my teacher. It's actually what my teacher said to me, right?"

Karen nodded, seemingly understanding.

“So Karen,” Jiang Lihua said softly, “you see, my teacher told me ‘I like you the most,’ ‘I will never leave your side,’ and also… I… I love… love… love…”

"what!"

Jiang Lihua buried her face in her hands in despair, her face flushed red to her ears, and she could no longer speak.

However, Karen, standing to the side, looked at Jiang Lihua with a subtle expression, finally understanding what was going on.

Assuming we don't question whether Mo Mo actually wrote the song, even if he did, it should be Jiang Lihua, the lead singer, who says these things to someone else, not Mo Mo saying them to Jiang Lihua.

Moreover, the lyrics clearly say "you all", "you all", "you all", because it's very important, Karen confirmed it three times. However, the word "men" in "you all" was selectively ignored by Jiang Lihua and treated as "you".

In the end, the three words "I love you" that Jiang Lihua, who was supposed to be cute and innocent, said to all the people of the Chinese Empire who were using RMB, were interpreted by Jiang Lihua as what Mo Mo wanted to say to her.

This is really...

Does falling in love make you lose your IQ?

"H-how... Karen, is my understanding... correct?"

Jiang Lihua calmed down a bit, raised her head, and looked at Karen with teary eyes, her expression showing that she desperately needed comfort and support.

Seeing Jiang Lihua's expression, Karen finally placed her hand on Jiang Lihua's head with trembling hands and said against her will, "I think so too."

"Right, right! Just as I expected, that's exactly how it is! Although the teacher was too embarrassed to give it to me directly, the song the teacher wrote for me already shows how the teacher felt!"

Upon receiving Karen's reply, Jiang Lihua's face instantly radiated a dazzling light. Her expression, filled with happiness and joy, was like a torrent, warming Karen's heart as well.

This is... what it feels like to like someone.

Not long ago, and even for the past five years, Karen had felt this kind of emotion from time to time. Now, seeing Jiang Lihua's happy smile, all Karen could do was smile and say, "Absolutely."

If it's not like that... Mo Mo, you can just wait to die!

"Karen, you mustn't curse your teacher!"

"Okay, okay, the teacher is yours anyway, she's your lover, alright?"

"No, lovers or anything... I just know how the teacher feels, and that's enough. I... I'm still young..."

"You know you're still young, yet your delusions were so outrageous just now!"

"It's all just your delusion, Karen, it's not my fault!"

Seeing that Jiang Lihua was denying what she had just done, Karen had no choice but to extend her evil claws to Jiang Lihua and teach her a lesson about the irreversible physical differences that come with age.

Jiang Lihua's pupils contracted, and she subconsciously wanted to back away. But even though their limousine was very spacious, they were still inside a car. Where could they possibly hide?

"Hmph, go ahead and run! I'd like to see where you can run to! Lihua, you've grown up now. Since that's the case, today I'll show you the terror of adults!"

Just as Karen was about to make her move, Jiang Lihua made her last stand, but suddenly, the car braked hard and slowed down, throwing both of them forward.

Neither of them was wearing seatbelts, which caused them to fall forward instantly.

Fortunately, Karen reacted quickly, catching Jiang Lihua and then falling to a flatter spot, which prevented the two of them from being too embarrassed.

"Kallen, are you alright, Karen!"

Jiang Lihua also came to her senses and sat up from Karen's arms. Karen, scratching her hair, was quite agitated and said to the female driver in front, "Hey, what's wrong with you? I could tell you were a newbie just by looking at your performance. Do you even know how to drive? How did you get this job? What are you going to do?"

"Please forgive me, Your Excellency, please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me, I...I..."

The female driver was clearly frightened by Karen's tone, and she also saw Jiang Lihua's somewhat disheveled appearance, instantly realizing the consequences.

With the legal system of the Chinese Empire gradually improving, killing people is certainly not a common occurrence. However, as a driver, causing Princess Jiang Lihua such a sorry state, her job is probably doomed.

"Karen, it's not her fault, look ahead."

Jiang Lihua comforted the female driver, then pointed out the window. Karen looked in the direction Jiang Lihua pointed and saw that the Imperial Guards at the front of the convoy had gotten out of their cars and had drawn their guns, indicating that something had happened up ahead.

Karen frowned, quickly pulled Jiang Lihua's hand and squatted down, while placing her own hand on the gun at her waist.

Karen's actions made the female driver even more nervous, but Karen knew it wasn't the female driver's fault, so she softened her tone considerably.

"Hey, what are you so nervous about? This car is bulletproof; even Knightmare's armor-piercing rounds can't penetrate it. If anything happens in a bit, just follow my instructions. I'll tell you which way to go."

The female driver nodded, calmed down, and began to pay attention to the situation ahead.

However, the chaos came quickly and subsided just as fast. Soon, a member of the Imperial Guard came to report, saying, "Your Highness, we just bumped into someone at the very front. He suddenly rushed out and seems to have some mental problems."

Jiang Lihua was taken aback and asked, "Is he alright? How badly is he injured?"

"It's nothing serious, just superficial injuries."

177 This is not a joke

Hearing that the person was alright, Jiang Lihua breathed a slight sigh of relief, but Karen still frowned and said, "Have you searched him? Have you searched the surrounding area? Also, don't stop here, keep going, take a different route, don't go back the original route."

"Rest assured," the Imperial Guard said, "He has nothing on him. Our men have already occupied the exits of all the surrounding passages and high ground. Reinforcements will arrive soon. However, in my humble opinion, I believe this is a very simple accident. No one would dare to harm Her Highness the Princess in the Chinese Empire."

"Moreover, the person who was hit should really have mental problems. This should also be the cause of this accident."

Karen's brows were still furrowed, but he accepted the advice of the Jinyiwei professionals, saying, "You are experienced and your judgment should be correct. However, no matter how careful we are, it is never too much. Although our Chinese Empire is powerful, perhaps it is precisely because of this that someone is eyeing the princess."

"Yes, you're right, the convoy will begin moving immediately."

The Imperial Guards were about to leave when Jiang Lihua spoke up, saying, "Karen, you're being too cautious! We bumped into someone, and they weren't dangerous. Wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to just leave like this?"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will handle the aftermath properly. We will be responsible for all his medical expenses until he recovers. Leave everything to us."

"Moreover, barging into the princess's carriage is illegal. The fact that the princess was jostled and not punished him is already an act of kindness from the princess."

Jiang Lihua shook her head and said, "The country operates on the law. Whether or not he is punished is not up to me. Besides, if he really has mental problems, he shouldn't be punished."

"However, what you said makes sense, so I'll leave it all to you. But don't forget the benevolence of our royal family. We can't let our royal family become the target of the people's criticism because of these trivial matters."

The Imperial Guard bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Highness. I will certainly fulfill Your Highness's request."

With that, the Imperial Guard turned and left, and Jiang Lihua breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Karen, standing to the side, looked at Jiang Lihua with surprise and said, "Not bad, you've got style. Did you learn it from the Emperor?"

"Hmph, it's not just what I learned from my father, but also from my teachers! I represent the dignity of the royal family, so every word and action must be considered in the spirit of the royal family. Otherwise, how can the royal family govern the world on behalf of all the people?"

"To govern the world with the help of all the people?"

Karen pondered those words with some surprise. Although she didn't have a deep understanding of the culture of the Chinese Empire, she was well aware that the ideas represented by Jiang Lihua's words were definitely different from those of her late father, the Emperor.

Karen, who vaguely sensed this, immediately stopped thinking deeply. This was probably related to Mo Mo's purpose, so she decided not to delve too deeply into it.

Karen doesn't care what Mo Mo does, as long as it doesn't violate morality or merit, and doesn't affect her and Jiang Lihua, she won't do too much.

At this point, Kallen is quite different from the Kallen in the original story who accepted Naoto Kuregetsu's will.
