(A/N before we go any further I want everyone to know that when I read btth like most books it wasn't completed a lot of books still aren't like against the gods so I only got into like 375 chapters or so which was the academy then the flame and finally Yao Laos old disciple. That's it. We are exactly at that point and what I'm going to do is leave this open and read through more of the story. But we shall be coming back to it when I'm caught up. Nothing I can do unless I want to sit down and read however many chapters I'm behind. I just checked I'm fucking like 1200 chapters behind holy shit. So yeahhhh. Side stories bitches.)
sitting in a very fancy office across from an older gentleman while a small purple haired girl sat on my lap and ate obscene amounts of rare medical plants in candy form while poking and pinching me.
Her name is zi yan a void dragon who ate a rare flower called a shape shifting flower and turned into a little girl. I didn't take 2 steps off the griffin before she was in front of me sniffing poking and prodding me like crazy blabbering and asking questions. The only way to stop her was to start stuffing her cheeks with candy and rare herbs filled with spirit energy.
This did not however stop her from latching onto me and following me everywhere like a lost puppy. It's like having a hyper active ophis follow me and climb all over me.
The old man just gave me an odd look as I continued to pop little candies into the small girls mouth. If I didn't do it fast enough I'd receive a pinch.
"So what may I ask is the reason for your visit young man." the vice principle asked.
"First off I have some manuals I'd like to swap for rare medicinal herbs. I'm sure your school could use all the dou qi manuals." I tell him.
"Well that seems reasonable I'm sure we have a few herbs in our alchemy department we can trade off. How many manuals are you looking to trade?" he asked pulling out some paper.
"Over 40000 manuals."
there's a ripping noise as the paper he was holding tears in half. "How many did you just say?" he asked stunned.
"40000 you may or may not have heard about the Jia Ma empire going through some tough times. I just so happened to have gotten these manuals extemely cheap." I had robbed entire generations of libraries from old families and sects.
He just looks at me funny. "I don't think we can afford that." he honestly says.
"Oh I have someone I'd like you to meet before we go on a bit more." out pops Yao Lao startling the man.
"This is a friend of your principle the tier 9 alchemist Yao Lao I'm sure you've heard of him." I tell the man who grows even more wide eyed. "He's going to explain the dangerous situation your academy is in currently mostly from the eruption of your heavenly flame which will probably devastate the entire area." I say with a smile.
You want to try to contain a giant thousand foot heavenly flame with a couple flimsy barriers? Not going to happen.
"Good news though. We have detected a baby heavenly flame you will be able to raise and help the school unlike this wild one which only wants to break out." I tell the man.
"And why should I believe you and this young man?" He asks me.
"I don't really care if you believe or not. I'll happily leave you the big one and take the baby flame it's no problem for me in fact I prefer it. Just thought I'd give you a heads up. Your going to have a very pissed off thousand foot heavenly flame monster about to break free." I happily pop some more candy into the little dragon girls mouth.
The old man looks at me like I'm some kind of scammer. "How can we verify what you say?" he asks suspiciouly.
I just shrug.
"I'm going to have to wait for the principle to get back before discussing that." he tries to stall as the principle has been gone for year.
"Yeahhhh I'm just going to take the baby. I've got stuff to do and I'm not going to wait on you to take my offer seriously you can have the big mean one." I use my divine sense and spread it out. In the giant cultivation tower behind some crap seals and formations wanders a giant see through snake made of fire. Even further below is a pit of lava leading to a fiery looking underworld. Deep down in that pit is a small fist sized clear flame floating happily. I suck it right into the kingdom and it quickly binds to me. I'll let it play in some volcanoes with the other flames. Heavenly flames can grow sentience given enough time. this one has baby intelligence but it's probably been growing millions of years.
The old man looks at me with a sneer. "And you expect us just to let you go get the flame and not try anything else?"
"Oh no its far too late." I pull out the clear flame and it plays around on my hand. "I've taken the baby you get to handle the calamity by yourself." I smile at him.
I wave my hand and tons of books appear. "I'll be taking the herbs I like now so enjoy your new library." then I pop out of the room leaving Yao Lao looking at me with a bitter smile. The little dragon girl tags along as well as I raid the alchemy department.
"So want to tag along and meet your new big sister?" I ask the tiny dragon who just nods happily. There weren't any people around the area like her so she was happy to meet another dragon person.
I pop into the kingdom and find ophis watching TV. "Ophis good news you've become a big sister again and your allowed to feed her all the snacks she wants." I get a blank stare from the other tiny dragon girl as I pass her an even smaller dragon girl who happily starts poking and sniffing.
"Yes." is all she says with a fiery look in her eyes.
"Good." I pop off into the distance. Now I have to wait a few years for the story to progress and for stuff to sell. What can I do to pass some time?
[Wanna play a game?]
The ominous sounding system pops up.
"Fuck it I'm in." I reply.
