Chapter 158 Recognizing the Ancestor and Returning to the Clan (Please vote for me)
After the contest, Sora returned to the boudoir of her girlhood.
My cousin's family who originally lived in that courtyard moved out overnight.
Mrs. Case stayed up late personally to supervise the decoration work.
This courtyard must be arranged as it was when her "baby daughter" lived in the past.
Allen accompanied his teacher to move back to his former residence, and An Qi was also forced to move in by her grandmother.
The purpose is to make it easier for her to stay close to her mother and senior brothers and enhance family ties.
Overnight, the Case family's attitude towards Sola, a "poor relative", changed completely.
Except for the somewhat naive An Qi, other members of the family seemed to be calm about this change.
It was as if Sora should have been given a grand reception.
To be precise, it's not a "treat".
Sora has been appointed as the successor by the mistress.
She is not some poor relative who came to seek refuge with her parents' family, nor can she even be considered a distinguished guest.
She is the master.
She is the next patriarch of the Keyes family, the noble young lady!
The next day, Sola's threshold was almost leveled.
Brothers and sisters who had disappeared as soon as they met, cousins who had never been seen before, seemed to suddenly appear from the ground.
Everyone came to visit with expensive gifts, and it was inevitable to shed a few tears when talking about the family ties in the past.
Ms. Sola responded to these welcomes and farewells appropriately and showed an elegant demeanor.
An Qi saw it in her eyes, admiring her mother's demeanor but also feeling a little unhappy.
"These snobs, don't care what they do!"
"Junior sister, what you said is childish."
Allen smiled and touched Angel's cat ears.
"If we don't deal with these snobs, who will do anything for us?"
He has not forgotten why he came on this trip.
Sora needs to use the connections of the Keyes family to apply for immigration residency and a pioneering license from the Silver Moon Monastery.
In the past, she was just a poor relative of the Keyes family. She had many demands from others and found it difficult to get things done.
Now that she is the successor of the Keith family, her affairs are the family's affairs.
There is no need to ask for help, just arrange the errands directly.
For the people who actually handle these trivial matters, who are the "snobbish people" in An Qi's eyes, it is still necessary to win over a little bit to avoid the villains getting in the way.
These people can't accomplish anything big.
However, the ability to mess things up is great!
After all, An Qi is young and somewhat conceited.
In fact, she really has no right to despise others for taking advantage of the situation. She herself came here specifically to flatter her today.
Although the Case family has turned from prosperity to decline, its outward appearance remains the same as before.
Every year on the third day of March, the whole clan must gather their strength to organize a grand trade fair.
The fair is an annual event in the town.
At that time, adventurers from all over Silver Moon Island will gather in Case Town to search for rare treasures or set up stalls to sell goods.
Today is the first day of the trade fair, and the whole town is very lively.
Angie followed her grandmother's orders and reluctantly took her mother and Allen to the fair.
An Qi knew her grandma's intention: to take advantage of the opportunity of shopping to let her get closer to Sora and enhance the relationship between mother and daughter.
However, there was an inexplicable rift between her and Sora, making it very awkward to get along with them.
At least for now, she is still unable to open her heart and accept this somewhat strange mother.
On the contrary, Allen was not related to her, and not long ago he beat her severely, causing her to be humiliated in public.
An Qi should have had ten thousand reasons to hate Allen, but inexplicably she didn't hold a grudge and got along fairly well with him.
An Qi couldn't tell whether it was because she was completely convinced by Allen and was afraid of him from the bottom of her heart, out of fear of others, or because Allen was a very easy-to-get-together person outside of the competition arena, and he also treated her very well.
Very caring.
It seems good to have such a tall, handsome and capable senior brother.
A family of three were wandering around in the lively venue, and Sola tried to find various topics to talk to her daughter.
An Qi went about her errands nonchalantly.
Only Allen was shopping seriously, stopping in front of stalls from time to time to look at all kinds of strange and weird things.
If a stall owner comes over to socialize, the most frequently heard sentence from him is:
"Can this be eaten?"
Angel accompanied Alan for half a street, and gradually realized a serious problem...
"My senior brother...isn't he a foodie?"
Sora couldn't help but laugh when he heard his daughter talking to herself.
"You guessed it right, Allen does have a big appetite."
"It's not surprising, you can tell by looking at how tall he is!" An Qi complained angrily.
She inherited her mother's genes and is only 1.5 meters tall, petite and exquisite.
With her hair cut short to the ears and a cat-ear hairpin on her head, she looks like an innocent little sister.
Walking with Allen, I have to raise my head when talking, I feel very disrespectful...
"Damn it! Why are you so tall for nothing?!"
An Qi muttered angrily.
Allen heard the whispers between mother and daughter and was secretly amused.
It's true that he eats a lot, but he's not so hungry that he doesn't choose what to eat.
Visiting trade fairs is mainly to enrich the system’s own food guide.
Just try your luck, maybe you can find it...
Um?!
Allen suddenly stopped and turned to look at an inconspicuous stall.
The system prompts were echoing in his mind.
"Special food detected!"
Good luck!
Will it be shipped now?
Allen rubbed his hands and licked his lips.
An Qi saw the hungry look on his face and his big eyes, full of confusion.
"that whoever……"
She still didn't have the nerve to call her mother in public, so she tugged on her sleeves.
"Elder brother, your expression looks so strange, like a bad guy with evil intentions..."
"Don't talk nonsense, Allen just found something interesting." Sola smiled and took her daughter's hand, "Let's go over and have a look."
What Alan was interested in was a bottle of wine.
"The best crab blood wine! Authentic from the Underdark!"
"The brainchild of the dwarf brewmaster!"
"After ten years of cellaring, it is guaranteed to be genuine!"
"20 pieces of magic stone per bottle! Brother, if you buy it, you will earn it!"
The stall owner was so foaming at the mouth.
"Crab blood wine" is really a spirit brewed from crab blood. The raw material is a monster called "hole fishing crab".
This kind of cancer crab lives in dark areas, and its habits are similar to those of spiders.
It perches high in the underground cave and hangs a transparent silk thread, acting as a hunting bait.
When passing creatures touch the thread, they are firmly stuck to it.
Fishing for crabs in a cave is like fishing. You reel in the fishing line, catch the prey, and have a delicious meal.
The dwarf miners in the underground world love to round up cave fishing crabs.
Once you catch one, use a mining pick to crack open the hard shell and drink the crab blood.
The blood of cave fishing crabs is rich in alcohol.
For dwarves who are addicted to alcohol, it is a high-end drink with a unique flavor.
To be more particular, the plasma of crabs caught in caves is used as raw material, supplemented by various spices, and fermented, distilled and other processes are used to brew spirits.
The alcohol of the "crab blood wine" brewed in this way is usually no less than 80 degrees!
It's spicy when it enters the throat, like swallowing a fire!
Alan doesn't have much interest in hard liquor.
I fell in love with this bottle of wine because the blood of cave crabs is a special ingredient!
After some haggling, the deal was finally settled with 14 magic stones!
Allen unscrewed the wine bottle, used the cap as a cup, and took a sip.
puff!!
"Cough cough cough cough..."
It's so spicy that it makes your tongue cramp and your throat burns!
An Qi saw it from the side and gloated and clapped her hands and laughed.
Allen glanced at the unfortunate girl and took the juice from Teacher Sola to moisten his throat.
Allen was convinced that crab blood wine was not suitable for him. Perhaps Senior Sister Tanya would like such a strong wine...
Thinking of the senior sister I haven't contacted for a long time, I feel a little melancholy in my heart.
With a sigh, Allen screwed on the bottle cap and stuffed the entire bottle into the storage bag.
At the same time, I received the expected system prompt.
"Eat special ingredients: blood products from cave fished crabs!"
"Potential +1!"
"Physique +1!"
After taking a sip of the spicy liquor, his physical attributes increased to 27 points.
There are currently 4 points of potential, and there is still a long way to go to reach 10 points to deduce the fifth-level meditation method.
Unfortunately, no other special ingredients could be found at the fair.
Ms. Sola took a photo of a incomplete potion formula and took it back to study, maybe there would be a chance to complete it.
Add wine to the prescription, and the total price is 30 non-attribute magic stones.
"Junior sister, please settle the bill."
"Why do you want me to pay for the things you buy?" An Qi looked reluctant.
"Little junior sister, you are just ignorant. Just because you are a daughter and a junior sister, shouldn't you show your respect to your elders as a token of appreciation?" Allen smiled slightly, "If you are not convinced, I will have to talk to your grandma.
.”
"Don't! I...can't you just pay for it!" An Qi gritted her teeth and forced a smile, "Senior Brother! If you like anything else, just buy it and it will be charged to my account!"
Allen really wanted to take the opportunity to hit her.
Helplessly, Teacher Sola felt sorry for his daughter and gave him a wink, suggesting that enough was enough.
He also specially found a secluded place, took An Qi and secretly gave her a large bag of magic stones.
An Qi firmly refused.
However, seeing tears in her mother's eyes, she felt inexplicably sad and finally accepted the money.
More than ten years of prejudice cannot be reversed overnight, but she has to admit that her mother is not the bad woman she originally thought.
As time goes by, the gap between mother and daughter may be eliminated.
After shopping, the three of them went to the most upscale restaurant in town for lunch.
An Qi was also obsessed with Alan's "foodie" attribute and asked Alan to order whatever he liked and eat as much as he could.
She can afford it!
Allen brought the menu, didn't bother to read it carefully, and said directly to the waiter: "Here comes the full set."
"Uh... I'm sorry, we are a restaurant here and we don't provide that kind of service."
"I mean, get everything on the menu!"
"Dear guest...are you kidding me?" the waiter was stunned.
"What do you mean, are you afraid that my junior sister can't pay the bill?" Allen's face darkened.
"Don't dare! Just be happy!" The waiter ran away quickly.
An Qi frowned.
I suspect that Allen is filling the cup and ordering a bunch of things that he can’t eat. It doesn’t cost him money anyway, right?
Ms. Sola took an elegant sip of black tea, put down the teacup, and patted her daughter's hand with a smile.
"These things on the menu may not be enough for your senior brother to eat."
An Qi was speechless.
When Allen started eating, she was even more speechless.
This... is a living cooking machine!
An Qi didn't even bother to eat anymore, and just stared blankly at Alan as he ate hazelnuts.
Finally, I couldn't hold it back anymore, so I leaned over, lifted up Allen's shirt, and stared at his belly.
She wanted to figure something out.
This person doesn't seem to have a very big belly, so how can he stuff in food that is several times larger than the volume?
After constantly eating various meals, Allen's lower abdomen is still smooth.
An Qi couldn't figure out why, so she touched it...
Sora watched from the side, coughing twice while holding back laughter.
An Qi came back to her senses, blushing and shrinking her hands.
I didn't understand the magical structure of Allen's belly, and I was too embarrassed to admit to my mother that I was a little obsessed with the wonderful feeling of touching the big brother's eight-pack abs...
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
A pretty young woman walked into the box. As soon as she entered, she bowed to Sora and addressed her as "Young Mistress".
"Cousin Lisa, you're welcome. Let's sit down and have something together." Sola said kindly.
The young woman is from a branch of the Keyes family. Her strength is mediocre and she is just a high-level apprentice.
Sola called her cousin, which was polite. In fact, she was a follower assigned to her daughter by Mother Case.
Lisa could still carry it clearly and stood aside respectfully.
"Young Mistress, there is something going on at home. Mistress, please go back and deal with it. Master Allen and Miss An Qi, please go back too."
"What happened to the Case family?" Alan's voice came from behind the pile of dinner plates.
Lisa witnessed Master Allen's astonishing appetite. She was shocked for a moment before coming back to her senses and quickly replied:
"About an hour ago, a young man and woman suddenly broke into our manor."
"The man calls himself 'Drone' Dorn, and the woman calls herself 'Female Bee' Daisy."
"These two people claim to be from Red Moon Island and are disciples of Elder Grisha..."
After hearing what she said, Sola's expression changed.
"Drone bee" and "female bee" are the names of the bee people.
The two were from Hongyue Island and were students of Grisha. She had already guessed their intentions.
What Lisa revealed next confirmed Sora's worst fears.
"Dorn and Daisy claimed to be under orders from Grisha to take away their teacher's daughter and bring her back to Red Moon Island for training."
Lisa glanced at An Qi carefully and lowered her voice and said:
"They also said that we can no longer let the Case family... waste Miss Angel's talent."
"The Kais family has no right to occupy Grisha's flesh and blood."
"Miss An Qi, you must go back to Hongyue Island with them...recognize your ancestors and return to your clan!"
