Chapter 347: Chapter 347

These two Golden Dragons were none other than the Clan Leader of the Golden Dragon Clan, Jin Hong, and his Mistress, Han Shuang.

They were Jin Tong’s sire and dam.

Han Shuang seemed very dissatisfied with the tavern, beginning to pick faults the moment she walked into the yard at the entrance.

"What is this supposed to be? What’s the use of this circle of wood?"

"A tavern? Does she think brewing liquor is that simple? Just throwing together some stuff and calling it liquor?"

"And what’s this? Why plant so many flowers at the entrance? So garish."

"Why are there so many snake Beastmen here? How can such cold, sinister creatures be fit to live alongside Golden Dragons?!"

"Si Yan, this wild girl, truly doesn’t compare to Yao Yao."

Jin Tong, Jin Yang, and Jin Kun were startled the moment their sire and dam stepped in. Why had these two formidable figures arrived? It clearly wasn’t the right time.

Jin Kun said, "The Priest major competition is about to start. Sire and Dam might have come for that."

Beast World had been unable to summon the Beast God for many years, so every Priest major competition was extremely important. Especially this time, as High Priest Bai Feng was also participating. If the Beast God was unwilling to descend this time as well, it would mean that the God might truly abandon this world.

Jin Tong said, "Sire and Dam came straight to the Delusional Tavern. I’m afraid they’re here to target our sixth." Fresh chapters posted on NoveIꜰire.net

Jin Yang said, "I’ll go soothe them."

Jin Yang immediately stepped forward, leading them to a place to sit down.

With a bright smile, Jin Yang said, "Dad, Mom, why have you come?"

Jin Hong’s gaze shifted away from Jin Yang, paused on Jin Kun and Jin Tong, and then asked, "Where’s Si Yan? Have her come see me."

Jin Kun replied, "Our sixth is busy; she can’t come over right now."

Han Shuang, their dam and the prestigious Dragon Princess of Myriad Beasts City who always had her way, immediately frowned. "Her sire and dam have come, and she still won’t show up? How conceited."

The three brothers—Jin Tong, Jin Kun, and Jin Yang—exchanged awkward glances, worried about Si Yan facing their parents’ ire if she appeared.

Jin Kun said, "Mom, our sixth hasn’t returned to the Golden Dragon Clan yet. We can’t rush this. Regarding seeing our sixth... perhaps we could... wait a bit..."

Jin Tong immediately added, "Yes, yes. Dad, Mom, Sister is really outstanding—beautiful, adorable, and powerful. Look at this tavern; it’s all her property."

Jin Kun and Jin Yang nodded quickly in agreement.

Han Shuang’s expression grew colder.

"Don’t think I don’t know. Ever since you three came to Myriad Beasts City, you’ve all bullied Jin Yao in favor of Si Yan. What, is Jin Yao not the sister you watched grow up? Is only Si Yan your sister?"

"Jin Yao grew up with you all the same. Tell me, which is greater: the debt of birth or the debt of upbringing?"

"Have you ever been close to Si Yan? Jin Yao has been with you for over twenty years. Is over twenty years of affection worthless? Enough to make you abandon Jin Yao and all side with Si Yan?"

Jin Kun and Jin Yang were criticized into silence. Although they knew their mother was wrong, they dared not talk back.

But Jin Tong spoke up immediately.

"Mother, what you’re saying isn’t right."

Jin Tong pointed to his own heart. "Si Yan and I were born in the same litter. In my heart, Si Yan has never left. I’ve missed her for over twenty years, and I’ve searched for her for just as long. Our bond spans more than two decades. She is my most important sister."

"You cannot force us to choose Jin Yao over Si Yan."

"Moreover, Si Yan hasn’t enjoyed a single day of comfort in our family. She owes us nothing."

"It is we who owe her."

Although Jin Kun and Jin Yang feared their sire and dam, they nodded emphatically.

Han Shuang said angrily, "You’re all defiant now! When you were young, each of you was so sensible and obedient, but now that you’ve grown up, you’ve all learned to talk back to me, haven’t you?!"

Jin Tong muttered quietly, "Si Yan has already suffered enough. I simply cannot allow Si Yan to be wronged anymore."

"Wronged? What has she done in these twenty years? Just because of her birth, she gets to be the Dragon Princess upon her return."

"What about Yao Yao? She’s worked diligently for over twenty years, yet look what she has. The moment Si Yan returned, Yao Yao was left with nothing."

"I admit Si Yan might be pitiable. But isn’t Yao Yao even more pitiable?"

The three brothers disagreed.

Jin Tong muttered, "Why is she pitiable? She usurped the affection, education, and resources that should have been Si Yan’s for over twenty years. There’s nothing pitiable about her."

Han Shuang shouted angrily, "Jin Tong!"

Jin Tong immediately sat up straight. "Mother."

Han Shuang said, "From childhood, you were the most talented among your brothers, becoming a Golden Crystal Beastman at a young age and surpassing all your brothers in strength.

"As a male, you excel.

"And Yao Yao... I’ve heard the news that she isn’t a Dragon Princess has already spread. This will make it difficult for her to remain in the Golden Dragon Clan in the future.

"Yao Yao is the daughter I raised myself; I will not allow anyone to gossip about her.

"So how about this: you and Yao Yao become mates. Yao Yao’s status and position are unstable right now. If you became her male, her status would be secured, and she could continue to remain in the Golden Dragon Clan, by my side."

Jin Tong immediately stood up, shaking with anger. "Mother!! Have you lost your mind?!"

Han Shuang replied, "Jin Tong, this is not just my wish, but also your sire’s."

Jin Hong said, "Jin Tong, now that your sister Jin Yao has lost her identity as a Dragon Princess, her situation is rather difficult. I’ve heard she’s even been barred from participating in the Priest major competition. How can this be acceptable?!

"She was raised in the Golden Dragon Clan, after all. The only difference is she didn’t come from your mother’s womb. Other than that, how is she different from our own biological daughter?

"She *is* the Golden Dragon Princess! She should get whatever she wants. If she wishes to join the Priest major competition, she absolutely must be able to participate!"

Jin Tong had never felt his sire and dam to be so unreasonable! He clenched his fists, quivering intensely from rage.

After a moment of silence, Han Shuang added, "Isn’t Si Yan also participating in the Priest major competition? Tell her to yield to her younger sister and not compete with her.

"Really, as an older sister, competing with her younger sister for everything—what does that look like?"

Han Shuang continued, "Actually, never mind. Si Yan shouldn’t participate. Let Jin Yao use her entry slot.

"The Delusional Domain’s ranking is quite high. If Jin Yao wins the competition representing the Delusional Domain, it would also bring some prestige to the Delusional Domain.

"That way, if the Delusional Domain takes first place, Yao Yao can also enter the Beast God’s Legacy. That would be perfect."

When Jin Yang heard this, he was struck by how familiar his dam’s words sounded, as if he himself had once said something similar. He must have been mad at the time. Otherwise, how could he have uttered such insane words?! Now, hearing his dam speak such words, he felt not only a chill in his heart but also intense anger!

Jin Yang exclaimed, "Mother!! We can’t do this to our sixth sister!! She is my sister, the female cub you carried with such difficulty for three months, and Sire painstakingly incubated for six months before she was born!!"
