YinYan continent, although the smallest, it still lived up to compete against the giant empires and kingdoms. High mana concentration, warm weather, black soil and a peace pledge with the nearby beast region. All these factors made many rulers covet this flourishing land, strangely enough, none made a move on it.
The YinYan continent contest of two regions, the Yin (his) and Yan (her) separated the two by a wide river. There is a strong belief within the natives of Yan says that long ago YinYan continent did not even exist above water, however, three hundred years ago a powerful individual created this land to present it to his fated pair. That great man also allowed beasts to live in Yin, and humans in Yan. Hoping that when his pair would arrive, she would be loved and respected by many...
...is what the old inn owner said to the bunch of female guests.
" Goodness! What a gentleman!! "
" Where do you find such romantic men nowadays? No wonder he is already hundreds of years old! "
" He hadn't met her yet, but prepared such an extravagant dowry, what kind of woman that deserves to be his bride? "
" You know, I have felt a deep connection when I entered the continent, I must be his bride that's why! "
" Oh shut up! That woman would certainly be a once in a thousand years beauty, your face is too ugly! "
At that moment, Everly who had squeezed her way within the crowd suddenly exclaimed:" beauty! Everly likes beautiful people! "
Once her milky baby voice was heard, all the attention was shifted to the fluffy little girl. As for the great romantic gentleman, he was calmly sipping tea behind them.
Bun-Bun stole a glance at the thick-skinned Lennox who didn't even blink when hearing people talk about him in such a way. Although the intended dowry was not this punny island but the holy dimension linked to it, Bun-Bun could swear that it's not a matter of romance at all!
He clearly remembers his Lord's blunt words!
[ of course, it has to be something grand. As Our honourable self's wife, as well as Our offspring's future mother, that person shall be granted the most suited dowry for her position. If she comes up with some crap like how material valuables does not attract her, We shall personally feed her to the dogs! ]
Fortunate might it be or not, his Lord has not met his pair yet....
" I will settle the bill and head upstairs. Don't play around too late, we will depart tomorrow morning "
Lennox said as he put a pouch of coins on the table and left. He walked to the counter and casually dropped three gold coins, telling him to watch over the Bun-Bun and Everly. The manager was red with delight, one gold coin equals three months of his salary, and now, he was given three coins just to watch over a young man and a kid, how hard could that be?
Little did he know that this meat pie that fell from the sky would actually smash his head. Watching over these two was indeed like climbing mountains and crossing seas, no wonder that boy gave him this much money!

In another continent, at the Imperial Palace. Jennings laid flat on the couch in his study, his mind wavering between beating that unfilial child of his or making him do free labour. He had yet to come up with a decision when someone entered the room, not many people would dare brag into the emperor's study without even knocking, so he already figured who it was.
" Are you still contemplating about your kid? Just chill it out and beat him when he comes back, why bother yourself like this? Come look at these reports instead "
Bernard put on a pile of papers and looked at him with raised eyebrows. It has been a week since the three brats left to YinYan continent, but Jennings was still as depressed as a widowed wife. Just before Jennings could say anything, someone knocked on the door.
" Your majesty, this is Naiem "
" Come in "
The door opened and a man in his thirties walked in, he bowed and greeted the both of them before speaking into the topic.
" this servant has come upon the head butler orders to report to your majesty about a few incidents that occurred in the crown prince's palace "
The imperial palace contest of five main palaces and four subside palaces, and the crown prince palace, as its name says, is where the crowned prince should reside. In the previous generations, the imperial family used to have many members and side families, all of which lived within the imperial palace. The present imperial family, however, have only a few members, and with how sticky Jennings with his kids is, they were all stuffed in the Emperor's palace.
As to why did the imperial family shrink so suddenly, um, well.....CoughJenningskilledthemCough.
" What kind of incidents? " Bernard doubtly looked at the man. Although Lennox didn't live there, it was still his palace. Only those tired of living would go there wantonly stirring troubles.
" This...actually not that dangerous, moving chairs, falling items and screams during the night. At first, we did not plan to interfere thinking that it was not serious, however, last night, a maid was possessed and everyone refused to step into the palace after "
Jennings frowned. He knows that Lennox put many weird and cursed things in his palace, but this was the first time something had ever occurred.
" Could it be because of that ghost Lennox raises? "
Hearing that, Bernard's eyes almost fell out of their sockets. ' He raised a fucking ghost pet???! '
Before he could voice his surprise, a deep creepy voice sounded in the room, answering Jennings question.
" It was not me, I am always around your majesty "
Knowing that he has always been watched by a ghost, Jennings couldn't help but shiver. Bernard on the other hand was dumbfounded. He had noticed that there was a ghost following Jennings most of the time but since it barely had any miasma, he just let it be. Why would he bother with every little ghost he finds?!
