"oh, little Hei why did you suddenly become interested about heaven crystal?" Xiao ling ask curiously
after finishing breakfast, the trio went outside, Xiao ling owned a good size restaurant in the city, this shows her love for cooking, and as she is the owner, she doesn't need to be work there, now the trio is setting in vip section in the restaurant enjoying some tea and fruits
Hei Dong got off guard and said, "I guess now because I can't cultivate, maybe I should try another options" he quickly thought of excuse
Xiao ling got her eyes blurry, "I'm sorry little Hei...it's mother fault little Hei being crippled..."
"mommy..." ming Xing nearby got emotional too, "it's not your fault..." but Ming Xing didn't know who to blame
"she is right mother." Hei Dong smiled and came closer to his mother patting her, "it's just fate...look at little Ming...she is perfectly fine and has 10 entrance opened! she gonna be genius!"
he praised her in order to lift her spirit
Ming Xing removed her small tears and giggled, "hehe, I'll become stronger and protect little Hei! little Hei doesn't need to do anything!" she hugged him tightly
"I'll be looking forward for it" he smiled patting her back, but thought, 'sadly I can't depend on you, little Ming, what type of man hide behind his family..., Charlotte.. Can you give an idea of how we got some heaven crystal?"
< Yes, father, one idea is ask your father-in-law, he is a merchant, selling few concepts from the database should relay him in for negotiation >
'hmm, what else?'
< another one is to ask father's mother for it, but looking at father's personality, the asking probability is low >
'damn right!'
< another option is to steal some >
'that's out of question!' he facepalmed internally
< well the last option is...> only to get interrupted
"trash!" a teen voice with elegant clothes but arrogant tone said in nearby
"I'm s-sorry young master! please forgive me!" a young waitress said in fear, she was a mortal girl with cute face
"sorry?! how your pathetic excuse of apology gonna clean my robe! it's brand new! I bet your whole life salary won't come close to buy this!" he said in distain fury
"I-I.." the waitress became a crying mess, she was lucky enough to find this job and the owner was incredibly kind to her, and she did her job well too, but for some reason, when she wants to give the young master his order, she suddenly tripped and fell over, dirtying the young master clothes
"why don't you say something huh?! I'll—" he only stopped talking only to feel terrifying pressure on him
"young master Xiao, I'll be responsible for young master's clothes, please give me some face and forgive the poor girl" young master Xiao or Xiao Yulong lift his head mechanically only to see a mature beauty smiles slightly, but the intense aura he felt from her doesn't reflect her smile at all!
"m-madam ling...nice to see you here..." he forced a smiled, who doesn't know her? she is the adopted daughter of the 5th elder! although the later didn't acknowledge it, but messing with her, means messing with him, and even if he the young master of Xiao clan, there is some boundaries he can't cross!
"oh? of course I'll be here... it's my property after all.." her smiled widen which she noticed the fearful expression increased
"ahh! look at the time madam ling! I forgot the water for my bath boiling!, this young master must offend madam ling as he must go!" he didn't wait for reply as he hurriedly run way with his lackeys
Xiao ling snort and come closer to the waitress, "are you fine , little hua?"
"Y-yes, Proprietress, thank you...I'm sorry for the commotion..I.."
"hushh, don't worry, it's not your fault, one of that brat lackeys must tripped you over to make a scene
"r-really..?"
"yes, why not taking the day off? don't worry you will be paid for today." Xiao ling smiled and said
"is this fine?" little hua asks nervously
"did I ever lie to you? go." she chuckled
"Thank you Proprietress!" she bowed in gratitude and collet her stuff and went
nearby Hei Dong and Ming Xing watched the scene fold
"mommy is so badass!" Ming Xing said with big smile
"yeah she is." Hei Dong smiled but thought, 'is that our clan young master? how pathetic... Charlotte what his State , oh and show me mothers and little ming too'
< affirmative.> Charlotte sent a specific radioactive wave before Yulong run away, it's harmless and best thing it's undetectable because it's pure radiation without profound energy in it
