Chapter 104: Zi Chen: I want your Pet
Heavenly beast gathering...
Inside the large Chen family estate, thousands of rare pets and their owners were busily moving among the stalls. As it is a wealthy gathering, some store owners were promoting their collections by putting them on display.
But family members of the host, the Chen family, were not present at this gathering. As the patriarch called for an urgent meeting, everyone left the estate palace.
On a desolate corner, an old man with a long white beard is working nonstop on a fire kirin. His fingers were dancing on the firekirin's body as he attached ornaments to the fiery beast. A satisfied smile played on Kent's cheeks as he stared at his pet, which was glowing with golden shine. m|vl|e|mp|y|r article
The two beauties, who stood silently till now, began demanding the old man to create the ornaments of their liking. Even though the old man is very stoic, he listened to the demands of the ladies and prepared new ornaments according to their suggestions.
The two ladies were making the Fire Kirin a cute pet instead of a brave one. They even demanded the old man make a long-tail ribbon that would flutter while flying in the wind. Even though Kent tried to stop them, the two ladies put on a sad face, blackmailing him with their pitiful faces. With a sigh, Kent let them do whatever they wanted.
"By the way, young man, what is the name of your pet?" The old man asked while inscribing a sword symbol below his family name on the head gear, in between brows.
"I still didn't name the Fire Kirin." Kent replied with an awkward laugh while rubbing his back of his head.
The two ladies mouths went wide open as they glared at Kent angrily. "How can we keep this pet nameless? Let me think of a good one for you." Lucy said with a thoughtful pose.
The old man sighed and continued to do his work. He is not ready to compete with the two sugar babies for naming the Fire Kirin.
[Please comment with a name for the Fire Kirin. The most liked one will be chosen. Keep in mind that it's a lady. It's a perk for being the privilege reader.]
While the two ladies were quarreling with weird names, more than 100 Chen family servants stormed the gathering.
Soon, all of them began sending away the guests with polite reasoning. From one corner, they began closing down the stalls and sending away the craftsmen as well. In the next 10 moments, they almost sent away 90% of the guests.
Even though the guests felt angry and unreasonable, no one dared to question the Chen family, as they were a major business family in the capital. Some of the big shots already received news about the Chen family closing down their business properties in the capital.
Finally, the Chen family servants reached the stall of the old man where Kent was decorating his pet.
"My Lady, we came here on patriarchal orders. Every outsider must leave the Chen family estate immediately." A head servant explained to Sophia, who stood with Lucy.
Sophia felt perplexed after hearing the servants words. The heavenly beast gathering is a prestigious thing for the Chen family. She didn't understand why her father interrupted it so abruptly.
"Clear other places first. We won't take long." Sophia replied while asking the old man to speed up.
The servants bowed and moved forward to close down the remaining stalls. The old man, who finished his work, began demonstrating to Kent how to remove the protective gear and ornaments and reattach them.
"Young master, except for that one stall, we sent everyone out." The head servant reported to Zi Chen, who came to the gathering spot to look for his sister Sophia. As his father commanded him to take Sophie to sleep after midnight, he is looking for her to inform him about their departure.
"Why did you leave that one?" Zi Chen asked with a serious look.
"Master, your sister Sophia is inside that stall. She is helping her friends finish a pet decoration." The head servant replied in a humble tone.
"What a headache..." Zi Chen, who is already irritated because of what happened, marched towards the old man's stall with an angry face. The head servant followed him.
By the time Zi Chen reached the old man's stall, he had almost finished everything. Kent is requesting that the old man accept a few spirit stones. But the old man denied it absolutely.
"Sophie, go pack your things. We are leaving for the sect." Zi Chen spoke with an angry glare. But soon his gaze landed on the Fire Kirin, which was glowing in gold and a shiny black color. Every time the Fire Kirin breathed, a golden beam flowed along the ornaments, which is very attractive to look at.
"Brother, what happened?" Sophia hurriedly asked her brother.
Instead of replying to his sister, Zi Chen approached the Fire Kirin. "Whose pet is this?" he questioned while trying to touch the Fire Kirin, which distances automatically from his touch.
"Brother, meet Kent. He is the owner of this beautiful pet." Sophia replied with a smile. But Kent is staring at Zi Chen with a varying look as he remember the 18 girls who were prepared for Zi Chen's pleasure.
"Tell me your price. I want this, Fire Kirin." Zi Chen declared while staring at Kent with a smug face.
The old man, who is packing his things to close down the stall, laughed at Zi Chen's demand.
"Today's generation is very shortsighted." The old man remarked while tossing things inside his bamboo bag.
Zi Chen's gaze turned towards the old man as he got caught up with the old man's remark. But Sophia interrupted him, saying that it is very rude to ask someone about the price of their pet without knowing whether they are ready to sell it or not.
"Sophie, you stay out of it." Zi Chen pushed her to the side as he stared at Kent for his opinion.
