Volume 10 Chapter 17: Heading Into The City!
"Dear, did you have to beat him up so hard?" Long Aotian questioned his wife. He had watched the entire thing, and frankly, he was surprised she would go this hard on him. When she sparred with her daughter, she would never go this hard; plus, this child was a guest!
"He's a good talent." Zhu Liqin moved her hand back and forth.
That intrigued Long Aotian, "For you to be such a talent?" Her wife was saying that. She was once known as one of the absolute geniuses of their city. For her to say that meant that the kid was really good.
"Mmhmm, better than our daughter as well."
"!"
"Then the ancestor had sent someone to deal with the situation." Long Lihua told him about what had occurred. Frankly, that made his jaws drop. How could someone be this reckless? Not unless he knew he could do so.
"Not enough to deal with it," Zhu Liqin shook her head. He may be a great talent, but this couldn't be dealt with brute force. Keith was too weak to do so.
Huh?" Long Aotian contemplated, "Why was he sent here then?" If it was not for his strength, it must be for something? The more he thought about it, the more he grew curious about the boy. He was interesting since he had two weird monsters. One was a spirit, which was considered to be an aloof being, while the other was an owl. He didn't know what it was, but it was pretty powerful.
"Was it Setsuna staring?" Besides her husband watching, she felt another gaze as well.
"Mmhmm, she wanted to spar with you but stopped when she saw you and the child together." She was mesmerized by the fight as well. Her eyes said it all.
"...Mmhmm," Zhu Liqin nodded.
...
"Let's go out now!" Keith waved his hand as he was prepared to head out. But Carolyn tilted her head as he did, "Why does he have so much energy?" It was more so than the other times.
"My question is, how can he recover so soon?" That was the better question to ask. Long Lihua nodded to that: seeing how the boy moved was surprising. This was even more so with how he could eat with them! This boy was eating so calmly after getting beaten up by Zhu Liqin left and right. It was quite the sight.
Yet, he was able to run and hop around like a bunny.
"I really need to check out everything that's here!" Keith cheered. That was something he needed to do. It was a new island, and this one had a lot of Asian ingredients as well! He couldn't see it, but he could smell it! The smell of new ingredients. What was more, his forte was more Asian ingredients!
"Yeah!" "Cuu!" Infected by his energy, the little spirit and baby cheered!
"Uhh, I see," Long Lihua scratched her head. Ayaka and Shinzo came out of their home to see this guy jumping up and down, "What did you guys feed him? Why is he this excited?"
"Uh, might be a screw loose." Did Mother hit him too hard?
"Come on!" Keith quickly grabbed the two girl's hand. That made them frown. But the latter didn't care, as he was prepared to dash off.
"…Sister," Everyone turned to see Long Hao staring by the door.
"What's the matter?"
"Can I come with you?" A puppy. That was the only way to describe how he looked right now. A cute little puppy in front of all these beasts.
"Um-" "Of course, you can come, little one!" Keith grinned as he picked up the boy. That was when he was placed on Keith's shoulders, "Grab onto my hair; we're going to get there fast."
Without a second later, Keith dashed at blinding speed with Ayaka and Long Lihua in tow!
"Ahh!" "What is wrong with you?!" The two girls roared as they were dragged off.
"…" What about us? Four people were left there in a daze.
"After them!" They quickly chased after the group, only to find that they had already left the living district and appeared in the shopping district. What they saw was a smiling Long Lihua with a glaring Ayaka. In front of them was a kneeling Keith with Long Hao on top of his head. The child was slightly dazed.
"What is wrong with you?! We could have gotten here even without you pulling us!" Ayaka felt her legs about to burst. The two girl's legs were flaying around as Keith rushed here.
"I was too excited. My bad," Keith stuck out his tongue as he made a smile. But that only caused Ayaka to bonk him in the head! She couldn't take it any longer; that stupid grin asked for it.
"Now, now. No one was hurt. Are you fine, HaoHao?" Long Lihua took a deep sigh.
"Mmhmm," Lu Hao was on top of Keith's shoulders as they dashed out. He was probably the person who was surprised by this the most.
"Sorry about that,"
"…Fun."
"Hmm?"
"Go again."
"Pff, haha!" Keith laughed, "Sorry, but I don't think your sister will allow me to go. But you can still sit on my shoulders if you want?" The kid was pretty light.
"Okay," Long Hao nodded as he held onto Keith's hair. Long Lihua didn't mind.
As Keith and Long Hao happily walked forward, she whispered, "Is he this good with kids?" This was a surprise; Long Hao wasn't the type to get close to others. So it was unexpected to see the boy be so close to Keith.
"Oh, that's because he has a little brother and sister around the same age."
"I see," Long Lihua instantly understood as they watched Keith enter the markets. Now that they had a better look, there were a lot of different things that were here. But one surprising thing was;
"There's a giant floating statue," A dragon statue floating before them. That was not all; there was a fox when they also entered the city.
