âGrandfather,â seeing how the atmosphere was going down the wrong path, Bai Yan hurries to shift the topic to another. âI have something I like to give you all.â Turning around to signal her son with a wink: âSon, hurry and bring over the gift I prepared.â
Doing as told, the little steambun didnât wait and toddles over to the old senior. âGreat-grandfather, these are the Dan pills Mother made for you. They are very delicious I tell you so quickly take them.â
âThisâ¦.â the grandpa looked surprised by satchel heâs given.?Is this a storage bag loaded with Dan pills? That size, there must be a lot inside.
Showing a frown: âYanâer, your grandfather I know about your amazing talent in alchemy, but these are too precious and time consuming to make. I speculate it wouldnât be easy even for you so its best you keep it for yourself to use. Giving it to me is too wasteful.â
âGrandfather, donât forget I have an alchemy hall operating within the Flower Brothel. These are all produced over there and not by my hands. Also, you are my weakness, only by making you all strong can I feel at ease while charging in the front.â Bai Yanâs face got all stern and hard as she says this which somewhat startled the old senior.
Blinking his eyes for a second, Old Lord Lan eventually nodded after thinking it through: âAlright, I guess you are right. Iâll accept these then.â
All smiles after getting her way, Bai Yan almost devolved into a child while explaining the effects of her gifts. âThese Dan pills are very useful Grandfather. Some are supportive in nature, able to help the rest of the family advance quickly in their cultivation. A Monarch Rank shouldnât be far away if they train hard enough in the following years. Oh yes Grandfather, I also have other gifts prepared if they do.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Old Lord Lan just couldnât resist a sigh at this point,?Looks like my daughterâs smartest and wisest choice in life was to adopt this wonderful girl. If only she didnât fall for that scum, then all wouldâve been greatâ¦.
âYan Yan,â its unsure when Di Cang came up to his wifeâs side but his hand had already wound around her waist. âActually, you donât have to go through so much trouble if all you want is to protect Grandfather and them. I can summon a couple of the demons currently training in the secret domain back at the Demon Realm. A few Celestial Rank should be plenty.â
Boom!
This remark causes this poor old mortal to freeze over in the brain. Old Lord Lan had initially wanted to take a sip from his teacup when the careless demon king threw out that sentence, as a result, he instantly dropped the container and splattered the content across his own lap.
What did my grandson-in-law just say?
Send two Celestial Rank demons to protect me?
Thisâ¦â¦ is a dream right? Yes, it must be a dream!
Ignoring the part about whether thereâs really demons at that level in existence, even if there does exist, Old Lord Lan doesnât believe for a second that such incredible beings would willingly come act as some doorman guard for a mortal human.
âThatâs wonderful Di Cang,â Bai Yan happily accepts the proposal and nodded like its natural, âand id thereâs a few extra, can we also place a couple at the three powers? I fear those from the Spirit Realm will come again eventuallyâ¦..â
âOf course there is since you asked.â
Even if it there wasnât enough, he would forcefully produce a few, all for the sake of keeping his precious wife from worrying.
âAhumph!â Old Lord Lan couldnât take it anymore and coughs a few times to get their attention. âIâm happy you have this heart Yanâer. Whether or not thereâs Celestial Rank demons is of no importance, what matters most if our Lan House improving our strength.â
Bai Yan knows her adopted grandfather doesnât quite believer her manâs words, but no matter, she only needs to make it a reality for it to be all settled.
âGrandfather, Grandmother, you were willing to accept me even when my reputation was down in the dirt. Itâs back then that I swore to myself that I would help raise the familyâs status.â
Though back then she already had the Flower Brothel and Holy Land acting as her support, but thatâs not something this family knew. Even so, they accepted her and her son without a single protest or contempt, thatâs a debt of kindness she wonât ever be able to repay.
