Chapter 929 “A Celestial Rank Guardian? (6)”
“Grandfather,” seeing how the atmosphere was going down the wrong path, Bai Yan hurries to shift the topic to another. “I have something I like to give you all.” Turning around to signal her son with a wink: “Son, hurry and bring over the gift I prepared.”
Doing as told, the little steambun didn’t wait and toddles over to the old senior. “Great-grandfather, these are the Dan pills Mother made for you. They are very delicious I tell you so quickly take them.”
“This….” the grandpa looked surprised by satchel he’s given. Is this a storage bag loaded with Dan pills? That size, there must be a lot inside.
Showing a frown: “Yan’er, your grandfather I know about your amazing talent in alchemy, but these are too precious and time consuming to make. I speculate it wouldn’t be easy even for you so its best you keep it for yourself to use. Giving it to me is too wasteful.”
“Grandfather, don’t 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.” Bai Yan’s 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: “Alright, I guess you are right. I’ll accept these then.”
All smiles after getting her way, Bai Yan almost devolved into a child while explaining the effects of her gifts. “These 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 shouldn’t be far away if they train hard enough in the following years. Oh yes Grandfather, I also have other gifts prepared if they do.”
Old Lord Lan just couldn’t resist a sigh at this point, Looks like my daughter’s smartest and wisest choice in life was to adopt this wonderful girl. If only she didn’t fall for that scum, then all would’ve been great….
“Yan Yan,” its unsure when Di Cang came up to his wife’s side but his hand had already wound around her waist. “Actually, you don’t 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.”
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?
This…… is a dream right? Yes, it must be a dream!
Ignoring the part about whether there’s really demons at that level in existence, even if there does exist, Old Lord Lan doesn’t believe for a second that such incredible beings would willingly come act as some doorman guard for a mortal human.
“That’s wonderful Di Cang,” Bai Yan happily accepts the proposal and nodded like its natural, “and id there’s a few extra, can we also place a couple at the three powers? I fear those from the Spirit Realm will come again eventually…..”
“Of course there is since you asked.”
Even if it there wasn’t enough, he would forcefully produce a few, all for the sake of keeping his precious wife from worrying.
“Ahumph!” Old Lord Lan couldn’t take it anymore and coughs a few times to get their attention. “I’m happy you have this heart Yan’er. Whether or not there’s Celestial Rank demons is of no importance, what matters most if our Lan House improving our strength.”
Bai Yan knows her adopted grandfather doesn’t quite believer her man’s words, but no matter, she only needs to make it a reality for it to be all settled.
“Grandfather, Grandmother, you were willing to accept me even when my reputation was down in the dirt. It’s back then that I swore to myself that I would help raise the family’s status.”
Though back then she already had the Flower Brothel and Holy Land acting as her support, but that’s not something this family knew. Even so, they accepted her and her son without a single protest or contempt, that’s a debt of kindness she won’t ever be able to repay.
