Chapter 416 “Leaving (1)”

“Actually, I think Xiaopang is rather cute in the way he is.” Turning to face the kid in question, Bai Yan shows off a genuine smile, “He is one of the few friends my son recognizes.”

Even though Wang Deqiu never looked kindly at his own brat because of that poor behaviors, but now that someone was applauding the chubby kid, its only normal he would feel happy inwardly as a father.

“That is the kid’s blessing then. Unlike my son who only knows how to cause trouble all day, I could only dream about having a well-behaved son like Xiachen.”

Am I really my old pop’s son, or did he just pick me up from somewhere? Wang Xiaopeng was so full of shock over those deploring words that he’s beginning to question his own lineage.

“Ah right, Miss Bai Yan, is there a reason for you in visiting us today?” Though that attitude in the voice sounded like he’s displeased still, but that smiling grin already sold himself out.

“I’ve long heard of the Wang family’s name that works under the Misty Fairy House. Since I am in business with your family, its only normal I go give them a visit in person as a form of respect. How about it?”

Note: for those who forgot, the Misty Fairy House is the third great power in the story.

In that split second, Wang Deqiu’s face definitely twitched for a bit. Narrowing in his eyes, the man finally got serious: “May I ask Miss Bai Yan in how you learned of my identity?”

There shouldn’t be anyone within the kingdom who knows about us and who we really are.

“Please relax. Did you forget what I do? As the owner of the Flower Brothel, I would of course be privy to many sensitive information. As to how I know, I didn’t until recently in fact. Though I’ve long heard about how you were driven out of your House years ago, just that I never expected to become your neighbor several years down the road.”

“Haha!” After a second of being startled, Wang Deqiu immediately broke out into a hearty laugh: “How silly of me. The Flower Brothel may be only a third-rate power, but in terms of information gathering I doubt any other power out there can be a match. But then again, one question still bothers me. Miss Bai Yan, is there a reason for you to personally visit my family?”

Visit? Oh come on, as if I would be that gullible to believe something so silly. There’s no way this busy woman would do something so time consuming.

“It’s not anything especially special really, just that I heard a Dragon Fruit has appeared somewhere close to Fairy City. Since your Wang family resides in that city, I figured it would be a perfect chance to stay there while I searched for the ingredient. I can’t exactly pass up the opportunity to gather the main material in creating a Three-Soul Dan Pill now can I?”

The item mentioned above was a unique medicinal pill that could help those in the King Rank directly break into the Monarch Rank. Unfortunately, the main ingredient – the Dragon Fruit – wasn’t something just anyone could come across, that’s why she’s going to make a personal trip for it to avoid any unexpected issues.

To be clear though, the Dragon Fruit mentioned here wasn’t the same type of fruit back on Earth, it’s a spirit fruit cultivated by using the blood of a true dragon. Since dragons have mostly disappeared from this land in the eyes of most human’s nowadays, it’s not hard to imagine how difficult it must be to come across one of these rare fruits.

Issuing out a sigh of relief over the news, Wang Deqiu was glad the woman didn’t have ulterior motives: “If that’s the case then please forgive me for being overly suspicious. If it’s a Dragon Fruit then you can count on me, I will definitely help you find it even if you need a hundred of them.”
