Chapter 350: Chapter 350
Jin Hong greeted him in a seemingly relaxed manner, "Grey Parrot."
Upon seeing Jin Hong and his wife, the Grey Parrot reacted as if he were seeing old friends.
"Ah, Jin Hong, Han Shuang, long time no see."
The Grey Parrot joyfully approached them and, without discussing anything else, excitedly said, "You two, really! Having such an outstanding daughter, why didn’t you bring her to meet me sooner? Ah, I feel like it’s too late to meet her now. I run to the tavern whenever I have the time, just hoping that little Si Yan will come up with some new things. But I’m getting old, and I don’t know how much longer I can keep this up. Ah, it’s really not like you to hide such an outstanding daughter for so long."
Jin Hong and Han Shuang, who were walking over to greet them, were momentarily taken aback.
With a slightly off expression, Han Shuang said, "Grey Parrot, you might be mistaken. Are you talking about my other daughter, Jin Yao?"
"Jin Yao??" The Grey Parrot’s tone changed abruptly. He disdainfully said, "Jin Yao, that malicious female with a devious mind, who would want to meet her?"
Han Shuang’s expression turned sour immediately. "Grey Parrot, you can’t say things like that."
The Grey Parrot was initially elated, but after exchanging a few words, he began to understand what Han Shuang and Jin Hong meant.
He asked in surprise, "Han Shuang, Jin Hong, you couldn’t possibly still not recognize the little daughter Si Yan, right?"
The Grey Parrot suddenly became amused. "Not recognized?? That’s good! Little Si Yan!"
The Grey Parrot happily ran over to Si Yan. "If you don’t look down on our Parrot Clan, then consider me your grandfather, and I’ll be your grandpa. Grandpa will definitely cherish and dote on you!"
Jin Hong and Han Shuang: "..."
This turn of events was completely unexpected!
They had thought Si Yan would hopefully and eagerly return to the Golden Dragon Clan. Never did they imagine she would not only refuse to recognize them, but a wise elder from another clan would also rush to claim kinship with her.
Why was it Si Yan whom the Grey Parrot recognized, and not Jin Yao? What made Si Yan worthy?
Han Shuang frowned, feeling displeased. She stared at Si Yan, wanting to see how she would respond. Although she disliked Si Yan, she also didn’t want Si Yan to embarrass her at this moment.
Si Yan smiled at the Grey Parrot and said, "Thank you, Mr. Grey Parrot, for your high regard. I..." Content orıginally comes from ɴovelfire.net
The Grey Parrot immediately interjected, "Hey, don’t answer just yet. Think about it, think it over carefully. I’m not rushing you; you don’t have to respond today."
Han Shuang’s face grew colder and colder. Since the Grey Parrot had embarrassed her, she no longer cared about showing courtesy to the Parrot Clan. "Si Yan, the Parrot Clan can’t be considered a noble major clan; it’s different from our Golden Dragon Clan! The Golden Dragon Clan has the most Golden Crystal Beastmen of all clans in the Beast World. And the Golden Dragon Clan even has its own Beast God inheritance!"
As if she hadn’t heard, Si Yan continued chatting and bantering with the Grey Parrot.
Han Shuang hadn’t expected Si Yan to ignore her and immediately felt deeply insulted.
"Si Yan!! Didn’t you hear me talking to you?"
Si Yan said to the Grey Parrot, "Mr. Grey Parrot, if a female in the Parrot Clan lost her own child, would she take another child in and let that child use her own child’s name, birth date, and identity?"
The Grey Parrot immediately replied, "How could that be possible? What kind of foolish parrot would do that? If they did that, what about their own biological child? And what if the biological child returned? Who would she be then? What would her name be, her birth date, her identity? Wouldn’t that make it impossible for her to find her place? No parents would be that muddled."
Si Yan nodded. "The Parrot Clan seems a bit better than the Golden Dragon Clan. If I consider joining a clan in the future, I’ll consider the Parrot Clan."
The Grey Parrot was satisfied. "Good, good, good."
Si Yan never accepted being a substitute. Whether it was the trope of the real and fake heiresses or the "white moonlight" substitute from novels she had read in her past life, she rejected them all; it was a line that could not be crossed. So, regardless of why her parents in this world had undergone such a drastic change in temperament, the moment they found a female cub to replace Si Yan at the very beginning, they became unforgivable in her eyes—even if they were her biological parents.
The exchange between the Grey Parrot and Si Yan was a complete humiliation for Han Shuang, whose face turned the color of pig’s liver.
That wretched girl, truly raised wild! She has no love or respect for her own mother! The Grey Parrot must be senile. How did I not realize before that this old fool was so blind?!
Just then, the handsome male Beastman, High Priest Bai Feng, also walked in from the backyard.
The Beastmen in the tavern held their breath, not daring to breathe too loudly. What incredible luck today! Not only had they seen the wise Si Yan and the Golden Dragon Clan couple (scratch that), but also the wise Grey Parrot and High Priest Bai Feng.
High Priest Bai Feng was exceptionally beautiful, noble and handsome, his body almost glowing white. The moment he appeared in the tavern, his gaze met She Wang’s. After their eyes clashed fiercely for several exchanges, Bai Feng smiled and greeted Si Yan, "Si Yan."
Si Yan returned the greeting. "Bai Feng."
Han Shuang immediately said, "Si Yan, don’t be disrespectful! Is the High Priest someone you can address by his name? He is the first High Priest under the Beast God, the most powerful and respected High Priest in the Beast World. You should be more courteous when speaking to him!"
Bai Feng coldly addressed Han Shuang, "Mistress of the Golden Dragon Clan." The gentle expression on his face vanished instantly. A strong sense of authority and distance surged forth, completely different from how he was when facing Si Yan. He was proud and noble, unapproachable.
Bai Feng said, "How I interact with others should not be your concern."
Han Shuang was taken aback. "High Priest, sir."
Bai Feng completely ignored her and said to Si Yan, "Grey Parrot and I want to try weaving a piece of cloth by hand. We tinkered with that machine for a while but couldn’t figure it out."
Si Yan laughed. "I’ll be right there."
With that, Si Yan, along with She Wang, Bai Feng, and Grey Parrot, prepared to head to the backyard.
Watching Si Yan’s retreating figure, Han Shuang truly couldn’t understand why both the High Priest of Myriad Beasts City and Grey Parrot treated Si Yan with such courtesy.
She decided to see for herself what was so special about this wild girl that made her better than Jin Yao!
Han Shuang prepared to follow them.
But Si Yan suddenly turned around and said curtly to She Chuan, She Ying, and A’ye, "She Ying, She Chuan, A’ye, the Delusional Tavern does not welcome these two guests. Please show them out."
Han Shuang and Jin Hong stopped in their tracks.
Han Shuang said angrily, "Si Yan, don’t go too far! What kind of daughter treats her own mother !"
But Si Yan said nothing and turned away. This contemptuous attitude truly enraged Han Shuang and Jin Hong. They were the noble Clan Leader of the Golden Dragon Clan and his wife. When had they ever been treated ?
Jin Hong’s face grew darker, and the sore at the corner of his mouth became more pronounced. He couldn’t stay any longer. Taking Han Shuang with him, he turned and left.
Finally, those two troublesome figures were gone.
After Si Yan explained the principles of the loom to Grey Parrot and Bai Feng, she sat down in a corner of the backyard. Wang stayed with her, and they began chatting with Old Gecko.
Si Yan: "Old Gecko, I have a question for you."
"What kind of existence is False Heaven, and why does he want to attack the Beast World? Do you know the answer to this question?"
Old Gecko sat on a large stone across from her. After a long silence, he finally said slowly, "At this point, there’s no need for me to keep hiding it from you anymore. That False Heaven... he desires the World Heart of the Beast World."
