Voyage With The Pirate King

Chapter 394 – Am I Surnamed Qilin?

Ji Yao who never ever said this word to anyone out loud felt so stupid as he watched his father gloating like he had won great award. Ji Wen was acting like a parent who had just heard their baby say their first word. He wasn't even this excited when Ji Yao actually said his first word.

Ji Yao couldn't help but glare daggers at him but it had zero effect on the proud dad. This proud dad even went as far as trying to hug him but Ji Yao actively dodged. If Ji Wen hadn't been gloating for the past few minutes he would have hugged him but the man just had to go on and brag to his ancestors.

As to why Ji Wen chose this moment to compel him to say what he said? It was because when Ji Yao was young and Ji Wen had regained his state of mind and started trying hard to raise his son well he had said I love you to Ji Yao a dozen times but the kid never said it back.

Ji Wen resorted to bribing him with food, candy and toys but it never worked. Ji Yao was so stubborn refusing to barge. One time Ji Wen brought a model ship of his father's sunken ship. He thought since his son was into art he might appreciate this special gift and finally get to say it but who was he kidding.

Ji Yao loved the gift but still wouldn't say it. Flustered Ji Wen lay on Ji Yao's bed throwing a fit. Of course, Ji Yao wouldn't let this happen. His bed was like a sacred temple where he alone could lie. Imagine an eight year old pulling a grown man's leg just to get him off his bed.

At that time Ji Wen had said, "I will get off your bed if Ya Ya says dad, I love you. Come on…. say it."

The little Ji Yao at that time had said, "Buy me a real ship and I will say it."

Ji Wen who hadn't expected that raised his head and looked at him before saying, "Tsk….. so expensive. Forget it, I can't afford to buy an eight year old a ship anyway."

Little Ji Yao was so relieved at that time not knowing his father would be waiting for this exact moment to bring this up. Now that he had said it he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to jump into the sea.

Qilin Hao who had no idea what sort of backstory was behind this was just very emotional at this moment. The word 'mommy' echoed in her head to the point that her eyes stung.

She patted Ji Yao's shoulder before directly disembarking the ship. Noticing something was wrong with Qilin Hao Ji Wen stopped teasing his son and followed her. As he disembarked he didn't forget to add, "You are lucky that I have no means to record it. I would have been playing it over and over again "

Ji Yao's lip twitched hearing this. To him, it didn't make a difference whether it was recorded or not because Ji Wen would keep reminding him about it repeating it like a broken record. Countless times he had wished to exchange his father with someone else but he was also fully aware that it was impossible.

He was about to examine the ship in detail when he heard the sound of a loud bird squawking before it released two figures. From their robes alone Ji Yao could identify them.

They were the delegates that his grandfather had brought over to supervise Qilin Hao. It's just that when his mother asked Hei Ying to preoccupy them he didn't think the man would fly them off the island.

Before the two nocru could hit the ground they were able to regain their footing landing on their two feet on the surface. They were about to scold that damn bird when they noticed a lone figure exiting a ship at the shoreline.

This was the first time they had had the opportunity to meet this young man who was a descendant of the clan leader. They couldn't miss the opportunity to prob this cub's attitude towards their clan and its leader. Ji Yao noticed they were staring at him and wanted to start something so he leapt up into the sky intending to go over them and get to his room.

But the moment he reached the skies the two blocked his path like school bullies attempting to rob a weakling of their lunch money.

The only problem was that Ji Yao wasn't easily bullied. He glared at the two and turned to fly past them when one of them stretched his hand to open up a dialogue.

"This young lord not need be scared of us. We just really wanted to meet you and get acquainted."

"Yes, after all, you are also part of the Qilin clan despite being mixed in with….. other things," said the other person with a sly smile on his annoying face.

Ji Yao didn't waste time drawing his weapon and saying, "Am I surnamed Qilin?… That should answer your question now move." When he said this a suffocating pressure filled the air making the two Qilin Feel uncomfortable but they still wanted to chat more.

"You might not think yourself part of the clan but it's a reality one you can't escape from. His majesty has already conquered your world and it's only a matter of time before you start serving him like your mother is," said the other Nocru with a smug look on his face.

Ji Yao who had wanted to end this meaningless conversation amicably suddenly chose violence. With the swing of his sword, he struck the two sending them flying a great distance. As the pair crashed on the ground Ji Yao suddenly appeared in front of them his expression like that of a psycho about to commit murder.

A sizzling sphere of sparks appeared on his hand as he crouched down with a menacing look in his eyes. "I don't give a fuck about your clan leader neither do I give a shit about a woman who abandoned me as a baby. So next time when I say move….. you fuckin move, do you understand?"

What he said about his mother was intentional. It was necessary to keep Qilin San thinking that he and Qilin Hao still hard a strained relationship. 

The sphere of sparks in Ji Yao's hand reflected in their dark pupils as their bodies unconsciously shivered. They hadn't expected this cub to already be this powerful. Ever since they stepped into this world they had only observed him from afar as he lay in Ji Wen's hands.

They had underestimated him at that moment mislabeling him as weak as he snuggled in his father's arms. Now they understood the meaning of the statement sheep in wolves clothing. This wasn't a cute little lamb but the god of destruction dressed as one.

They suddenly wanted to see a showdown between Qilin Hao and Ji Yao to see who was more powerful.

Ji Yao retracted the lightning sphere in his hand before walking past them.. The Nocru wiped their foreheads to remove the cold sweat from the fright earlier. One of them followed Ji Yao's figure with his piercing gaze and asked, "Should we tell his majesty about his true potential?"
