Chapter 786: A strange barter

Old Master Bai had never done such a task before, but he wanted to get closer to his daughter and was willing to do anything to talk to her. He had been trying to get close to Yan Wanning for a long time, but his daughter was always on her guard, like she were wary of him. Old Master Bai knew that there was something that Yan Wanning was not telling him, and it had to be related to the Yan family.

But he knew that the two of them were not close to one another, and he could not ask what Yan Wanning had gone through at the hands of the Yan family when no one from the Bai family was willing to look after her. Sure enough, as soon as he made that suggestion, Yan Wanning shook her head and politely refused, "There is no need, Old Master Bai. I know that you want to help me, but I have enough hands at the moment. You do not need to worry about me at all."

When Old Master Bai heard her distant tone, he smiled with a hint of heartache in his eyes. Do not worry? How could he not worry about her? Ever since he found out that Yan Wanning was his daughter, he had been worrying about her day and night. If not for the fact that he was worried that Yan Wanning would become furious with him, he would have never allowed her to work so hard every day.

However, who asked him to be blind!? He had been sincerely treating that fake daughter of his with his affection and care, and his own daughter was suffering. She was even abandoned by that scumbag and had to raise two children on her own; as for her daughter, he did not even want to start on it! When he thought of the sufferings that Bai Meiyue had to go through at the hands of that beast. He actually gave his own daughter to an old man.

When he thought of how Bai Qingshi would have succeeded in his beastly scheme if his granddaughter had not been lucky enough, he felt like his entire being was not feeling well.

On the other side, at the far end of the mansion, Bai Meiyue had no idea that her grandfather was feeling sorry for her at that moment. She was currently dealing with a rather peculiar person. She looked at him with a frown on her face and said, "What do you mean you have no interest in artefacts, jade and antiques?" If this man was not looking for a barter, why did he come looking for her if he did not even want to barter for anything?

The man interlocked his fingers and softly said, "Miss Bai is a smart woman, but I never did think that she was this foolish when dealing with something so simple."

Bai Meiyue was sitting in front of the man. When she heard his disdainful tone, she could not help but frown angrily. What did he mean by that, that she was a fool? Did she look like she was someone who could not understand something simple? It was not that she was unable to understand; it was the fault of this man who was speaking in riddles instead of telling her what he wanted!

Suppressing her anger, Bai Meiyue spoke in a calm and collected voice. "Master Qin, I am afraid that you are misunderstanding something. I am here for a barter and not to entertain you. If there is something that you want, then you need to tell it to me straight. I will not solve your riddles for you to be happy."

"It seems like you have a temper, Miss Bai."

"I have more than just my temper; if Master Qin is willing, then I can show it to you."

Bai Meiyue was in a hurry, and she had no time to play around with someone like Qin Yan. Did he think that she was too free? Of course not! She had things to do, and they were rather important as well.

Qin Yan raised his hands in the air when he heard Bai Meiyue’s threat. "Alright, alright, I understand. It seems like Miss Bai is not someone who can take a joke." The smile on his lips turned upside down, and he turned solemn as he said to Bai Meiyue, "Alright, I will stop joking with you. Since Miss Bai wants to continue with this barter, I will address my requests clearly. I want meat and honey. The organic kind in your world."

He came from a dimension where technology was rather developed, but the natural resources had become exhausted. There were no chickens or goats in his dimensions, and he, as a chef, thought that it was quite a shame. He had long read about these ingredients and wanted to make use of them, but unfortunately, this was something that could not be achieved just because he was stubborn.

Fortunately, he awakened the barter system, and he could purchase these things with ease. He heard from a few people that Bai Meiyue was selling meat of mutated animals, and he wanted to try his hand at it. But Bai Meiyue’s level was too low, and he never saw any barter request from her. It was only by some luck that he was able to see it this time around and accept it.

When Bai Meiyue heard that the man just wanted meat and honey, she heaved a sigh of relief. There was a lot of meat in her storage as well as the store room. As for honey, she had collected a lot of bottles before the apocalypse, so he knew that this barter was a success. She nodded and agreed at once.

Qin Yan was also a straightforward person. When he saw that Bai Meiyue had agreed, he immediately took out three metallic canisters and placed them in front of Bai Meiyue. Looking at the three boxes, Bai Meiyue’s eyes turned sharp as she waited for the man to explain the uses of these things.
