“That’s such a shame,” Huang Quan’s tone sounded regretful, but hidden from Baby’s sight, the corners of her mouth lifted with unrestrained delight.
Very good!
She still had some time before Baby woke up, and she could use that time to make some money.
“But don’t worry,” Baby’s voice chimed in again. “I will recover as soon as possible.”
“Don’t force it,” Huang Quan advised. “Baby, take your time. Your situation is special; don’t force recovery.”
“Just eat more.”
Huang Quan sighed inwardly—this wasn’t the underworld, and she was currently low on funds.
Unaware of Huang Quan’s thoughts, Baby continued chatting with her, awaiting food.
Ye Qin returned to the small courtyard a quarter of an hour later, accompanied by Yong Ye. Even in the evening, the mask on Yong Ye’s face remained in place.
Huang Quan glanced up at him, and then her eyes landed on the box he was carrying.
Yong Ye stepped forward, placed the box on the table, and opened it.
The glint of wealth dazzled…
As soon as the box was opened, the radiant gold, jewelry, jade, and pearls emitted the gleam of wealth.
“Quanquan,” Ye Qin addressed her, “I don’t stay here often, and my house doesn’t have many things. But don’t worry, I’ve contacted someone to deliver more, and it should arrive in half an hour at the latest.”
“Yes,” Huang Quan nodded gratefully. “Qinqin, thank you.”
“You bought these with money; there’s no need to thank me,” Ye Qin replied. He then turned to Yong Ye and instructed, “Let’s go. We’re leaving.”
“Yes,” Yong Ye acknowledged and exited the courtyard.
After Yong Ye left, Ye Qin faced Huang Quan and asked, “Quanquan, can you tell me why you need these things?”
“It’s convenient,” Huang Quan nodded, then communicated with Baby using her spiritual sense, saying, “Come out.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Baby appeared next to Huang Quan.
Ye Qin observed the child who suddenly appeared next to Huang Quan, his face registering surprise.
This child appeared to be around the same age as a human child of five or six years, but the golden eyes and two small horns gave away the fact that this was no ordinary human child.
Recalling Huang Quan’s mention of a ‘gold-swallowing beast,’ Ye Qin wondered if this child was the creature she referred to.
As Ye Qin gazed at the child, the child reciprocated the look.
Huang Quan touched the child’s head and said, “Baby, introduce yourself.”
Baby?
Hearing this title, Ye Qin’s interest deepened. The child then turned to face Ye Qin.
“I’m Baby,” the child announced.
“Baby?” Ye Qin raised an eyebrow.
“Yes,” Baby confirmed.
The slight unease in Ye Qin’s heart dissipated, and his eyes softened. So, the child’s name was Baby, and it wasn’t a special nickname Huang Quan had given him.
“I’m Ye Qin,” he introduced himself.
“You…” Ye Qin looked at the child and spoke with a deep voice, “Are you from the dragon clan?”
Upon hearing this, Baby laughed and replied, “Oh, you have good eyesight. Can you really tell that I’m from the dragon clan?”
Ye Qin was a bit surprised at the acknowledgement. Quanquan seemed to be even more mysterious than he had thought. The dragon clan was only a legend on the continent, with no one having actually seen a member of the dragon clan.
“Surprised?” Huang Quan inquired with a smile as she noticed Ye Qin’s curiosity.
