chapter 13
13. I Want to Be a Man Who Blossoms Twice
In the capital of the Great Ying Empire, on its outskirts, there is a town hereditarily owned by the Dragon Extra family, Dragon Extra Town. The climate is pleasant, the folk customs are simple, isn’t it just like a big city!? What does internationalization mean, what does it mean to blossom twice?
As the town’s lord, and the son of his own father, Dragon Extra Yi, Dragon Extra Er also thought so at first. His daily activities were just about spending the money others offered, then posing with the local knights during inspections, nothing more. The life of a person with money and status is just so plain and boring.
But recently, while dealing with a task, he caught a local flower-picking gang and Dragon Extra Er was horrified to discover: it seems his status, his territory, isn’t that great! After all, even an envoy from the Great Ying Empire’s capital—a female investigator—dared to ride roughshod over him!
She’s turned against me!
Dragon Extra immediately had a new idea: to lean towards the capital of the Great Yoo Empire. By then, would he still need to look at others’ faces? Within the Great Yoo Empire, if there was a family everyone wanted to cling to, aside from Her Highness Queen Lu Yi the Fourth, who had given countless men dreams and remained unmarried, it was the genius among geniuses, the beautiful young girl Kefir, who could be considered royalty and had been famous throughout the empire for a long time!
An unmarried queen? Hmph, there must be something fishy. Who knows how decadent her life might be? With his status and position, would he settle for second-hand goods? The clever Dragon Extra immediately set his sights on Kefir, whom he had never met. It would be somewhat ungentlemanly to approach her directly, so he planned to first take his priest qualification certificate and become her personal priest. Then, he would let her be attracted by his charm, and finally… hehehe.
However, unexpected events completely disrupted Dragon Extra’s plans.
—
At this moment, in Dragon Extra’s mansion.
“What did you say! The gold bars were returned?!”
Having endured for several days, Dragon Extra finally reached his limit and kicked the lackey who came to report the news in a rage.
The kicked servant, though bitter inside, could only respond with a forced smile.
“The church’s interview officer said that this time the qualification certificate interview must be conducted by the book. You left early, so it has already been given out…”
“Damn it!”
To become an official priest, one needed a qualification certificate, but this profession was not easy to come by. Dragon Extra had gone through great pains to find out that the church had a qualification certificate up for interview recently. He had managed to get quite a few gold bars from his father, who was usually tight-fisted, and sent them over, finally getting the answers to the interview questions from that fat pig.
But now, what a mess! He had given the money! And the damn certificate was given to some poor kid!? That fatso even had the nerve to tell him it was all done by the book, as if he wanted to swallow the gold bars whole when he was taking the money!
“Why!?”
“Uh… I asked too, but that fatty just wouldn’t say why! He even said to wait, that next time it would definitely be yours, for free!”
“So you just came back!? If he said buy one get one free, would you have invited him for a drink!? Get lost!”
He needed that qualification certificate to get close to Kefir in the capital! With his own charm, speech, and behavior, winning her heart would be a breeze, right? Being a priest was just a front. Once he got her… heh, he would walk sideways in the Great Yoo Empire.
Was this a time to wait!?
“Then… then I’ll go find…”
“Find your m! It’s useless to look for that fatty now! If you’re going to find someone, it’s that guy named Li De!”
Thinking of women, Dragon Extra finally calmed down a bit. That fatty must have been fooled by that poor kid, especially since that kid suddenly mentioned “the ledger,” which scared him half to death. When he hurried back to check, the ledger was still in the safe, untouched!
It was the same before, and it was the same this time. That pretentious little b*stard had played him and snatched the qualification certificate! Daring to make trouble in his territory, he was like a bamboo rat in an iron pot—asking for a long life!
The lackey finally gave Dragon Extra a bit of useful news.
“In that case, I know!”
“What?”
“That guy who snatched your priest certificate! A few days ago, I saw him walking down the street with two women on each arm, starting to deceive women as soon as he got the priest certificate, not even pretending.”
“Damn!”
With one word, Dragon Extra expressed his current frustration vividly.
To be honest, he was a bit envious, which made him look forward even more to the day he got the priest certificate and approached Kefir. If a poor wretch could attract women with just a broken card, wouldn’t he, who was hundreds of times stronger, easily get Kefir?
With that thought, Dragon Extra wished he could immediately knock that kid down with a punch and snatch the qualification certificate, and he immediately dragged the lackey over to his side.
“Can it still be found!?”
“Hehe, found… it can be found. I always knew you’d go for the steal, and look… I’ve already scoped out where they live.”
“You’re somewhat useful after all.”
The extra released his grip.
In this city, who dares to oppose me? A pretentious pauper, let him flaunt this qualification certificate for a few days, but he’s got a life to take it, not to use it!
“Get a few from the knight’s order to change clothes, pick a time, and snatch it back!”
“This…”
“What’s there to fear? Who dares oppose me? That kid, I’ve never liked the look of him, beat him up, then tie him in a sack and throw it into the river outside, sink it to feed the fish!”
There are a million ways to kill a man, but for some reason, at this moment, the extra thought of sinking him in the river. Anyway, as long as he’s dead, who cares.
I need to rely on that qualification certificate to get on the good side of that man, Kefir. What’s a pauper to me?
