Chapter 373: Young love

When both Qing Ao and Qing Bao Lan saw this smile, there was a chill that ran down their backs.

Qing Ao quickly sobered up and said, "Brother Lin, how could I impose? This is something that I should do as the parent, how could I trouble Brother Lin with this?"

As for Qing Bao Lan, when she saw that smile, she instinctively took a step back. It was like there was a natural fear of Lin Fan that came over her.

Of course, that natural fear didn't come from nothing. Rather it was formed by all the different pets that had cursed Lin Fan, giving him a terrifying aura.

Lin Fan didn't bother pursuing this topic since he was just getting a little revenge on the little dragon girl.

In the beginning, he was supposed to kill her and take her corpse back to the Seekers Guild to sell since he needed the points, but now he couldn't do that. After all, now she was his sworn brother's daughter, which also made her his niece.

If he were to kill his niece, that definitely wouldn't be something that he could live down.

Lin Fan just gave a nod and changed the topic.

Qing Ao was happy to continue with this since at least this topic didn't involve his daughter, but Qing Bao Lan wasn't happy to leave it at that.

She had been wronged all these times during this period and she couldn't take it anymore. She really wanted to get revenge for all the wrongs that she had suffered, but no one did a thing for her.

All of the adults just ignored her like a little child who was throwing a tantrum as she cried by a tree that was on the side of the area that the table was in. From time to time, she even cried out louder to make sure that the adults could hear her, but not a single person came over to comfort her.

As this continued, Qing Bao Lan felt more and more aggrieved until she actually started crying for real.

Other than this meeting between the adults, there was also another meeting that was being held. It was a meeting between kids.

Lin Fan's pets were all gathered around Brainy in their human forms, discussing how the battle had gone today. They weren't satisfied with how they had performed since it had taken them that long to take care of Qing Bao Lan and at the same time, Qing Ao had easily destroyed their combined attack. 

As beasts that had supreme bloodlines, they couldn't accept being bested like this. They had to find a way to take revenge on Qing Ao!

While they were holding their meeting, they also snuck looks at Qing Ao from time to time before pointing at the drawings they had made on the ground. It looked like they were already thinking of a way to deal with him.

On the side, Angela watched over them like a proud mother, gushing over how her little kids were growing up even though they were planning on beating someone up…

But what she didn't notice was that one of the kids had moved away from the group during this time and had moved over to where Qing Bao Lan was squatting on the ground crying. This was a little boy who had pure azure hair, piercing azure eyes, and a flowing azure robe. Even though he was a little boy, every part of him screamed handsome. He would definitely grow up to become a handsome guy in the future, but for now he was quite a cute boy.

That little boy with the piercing azure eyes came over to where Qing Bao Lan was crying, but since she was too focused on her crying, she didn't notice him at all.

The little boy hesitantly walked up to her and at first didn't know how to approach, but then he put a hand on her back and patted it.

When Qing Bao Lan felt the hand on her back, she immediately turned around with a hopeful look, but then that hopeful look turned to disappointment when she saw the little boy. However, after a few seconds, she took a closer look at the little boy and she couldn't help falling into a daze.

The little boy saw that she suddenly turned around and was a bit surprised before he asked, "Alright?"

Qing Bao Lan was even more surprised when she heard this because she never expected this little boy to comfort her, after all…

The little boy was Xiao Feng, one of Lin Fan's pets that had just been fighting her.

Xiao Feng spoke in broken words because he had only gained intelligence just a few months ago. While he was able to speak in full sentences when it came to thoughts since thoughts directly converted what he said into words, it was hard for him to speak with this human body since he was still learning how it worked.

But with the cute little appearance that he had, speaking in fragmented sentences actually worked in his favour.

Qing Bao Lan didn't know what to say as she just looked at Xiao Feng who kept patting her on her back.

After a while, Qing Bao Lan finally said, "I'm alright now. Thank you."

When she said this, there was a faint blush that appeared on her face and she couldn't help lowering her head slightly.

Xiao Feng gave a nod and said, "Un."

Then he turned around and headed back to where the other kids were, but before he could take a single step, there was a hand that suddenly grabbed his hand to stop him from moving. As this hand grabbed his hand, there was a soft voice that came from behind that said, "Wait."

Xiao Feng was confused as he turned around to see Qing Bao Lan acting shy while holding his hand.

Xiao Feng couldn't help asking, "Need something?"

When he said this, the way he looked, the cuteness of it all was like an arrow that pierced Qing Bao Lan's heart.

Qing Bao Lan was a child that had been rather spoiled, so her personality had turned out quite domineering. She was someone who knew what she wanted and when she set her heart on something, she wouldn't hesitate to take it for herself.

As for what her heart had set itself on this time…

Qing Bao Lan hesitated as she said, "Can, can you, you come with me, me for a second?"

The strong tone that she had made it sound like a statement, but the slight upwards intonation at the end showed that it was a sentence.

Xiao Feng looked back at the meeting that the other kids were holding and seeing that nothing was going on, he just gave a nod and said, "Un, alright."

Xiao Feng had actually only come over because he had felt that this little dragon girl had looked quite sad as she was crying by herself.

Out of all the pets that Lin Fan had, Xiao Feng was the one with the kindest personality.

As for the others, Xiao Huo had a fiery personality as dictated by his attribute, Xiao Lei had a very explosive personality that was like a bolt of lighting, Rocky was was quite calm and sedentary, and Xiao Bai was as calm as a pool of water, but there were ripples under that calm surface.

Only Xiao Feng was as gentle as a breeze.

When Qing Bao Lan heard Xiao Feng's response, she revealed a happy and excited look.

She took him by the hand and dragged him over to where the adults were still talking.

It had been a while, so all of them were a bit drunk, except for Angela who had been watching over the kids the entire time. Though how a soul fragment like Hong Long was able to get drunk, that really was a mystery…

They didn't see Qing Bao Lan approach at first, but then she suddenly jumped onto the table right in front of them, so they had no choice but to acknowledge her. After her previous display, all of them had already expected something like this, but for a strange reason, she was dragging Xiao Feng along by the hand with a blush on her face.

Qing Ao was the first to respond and even though he was drunk, he still said, "Qing Bao Lan, what are you doing? Stop acting up already and get off the table!"

Qing Bao Lan revealed pouted lips as she said, "But daddy, I have something important to say!"

Everyone was surprised by the way she said it. Compared to the domineering way that she spoke earlier, it almost seemed like she was being shy, even though she was still shouting.

Qing Ao was about to say something, but Lin Fan said, "Brother Qing, how about we listen to what Xiao Bao Lan has to say?"

To be honest, Lin Fan was curious why Xiao Feng had been dragged along by Qing Bao Lan, so he wanted to hear what she wanted to say.

Hong Long then followed up and said, "That's right, Xiao Ao, you've always been too hasty. Let's hear what Xiao Bao Bao has to say."

Hong Long might seem like a rough person, but he actually had quite the soft spot for kids.

In the end, Qing Ao could only give a sigh and say, "Alright, Xiao Bao Bao, go ahead."

Qing Bao Lan pulled Xiao Feng who had been standing a bit behind her forward and when they were standing side by side, she suddenly said, "I want to mate with him!"

All the adults immediately spat out the wine that they had been drinking.
