Departing From The Tarn Clan Territory
"I won't tell you what it can and it can't do, you can see that by yourselves, Miss Yona?" Finished speaking, Tongqiu indicated to the young woman to his right with his right hand which was a little warmer than usual from having held her own hand.
Nodding in response, Miss Yona then took out a couple of small boxes of 10 x 10 cm and was as thick as a couple inches. The boxes were a really well-looking ones, with a slight relaxing aroma and a soft touch that seemed almost like fur yet was obviously not, that incredible was the material made for them.
She placed them on the middle of the table with the help of her boss Tongqiu as she began giving a nice sale speech.
"This, ah-eh... All-Mending Misery could be said in its infancy stage, for now it'll be sold out as the Basic All-Mending Misery. Yet, with my boss Mr Yun here and Madam Yun's help as well..." She emphasized the 'madam' part while looking down at her boss with her left hand on his right shoulder, making the old men lift their eyebrows at once successfully, she then continued: "...There is an expected overall improvement as well as even adding certain benefits to its 'consumption' in over a year at most, or 6 to 9 months at the very least. Without side-effects nor inconveniences, as the necessary ingredients aren't that unique nor strange. In fact, I'll let this be known straight up from now on; the real reason this 'product' could be achieved was thanks to Madam Yun's genius as well as my boss's incredible means, so even it here is someone else trying to fight for the rights of it by knowing what ingredients does it has; as long as they are not only not my boss, but are also unaware of the method to create it then... Well, I can assure anyone here that it will be nothing more but frustration and self-destructive tendencies to whatever 'researcher' is trying to steal it from us, maybe even becoming a lunatic wouldn't be that far off."
Miss Yona made a slight pause to recollect both her breath as well as her cool as she then continued: "It will be sold, at first, to the price of 10 credits per kg."
"Impossible!"
"Preposterous! This unique product of us hailed from our own bloodline, even if you have something to do with it, the price can't be so stupidly low!"
"I cannot agree with this-"
Creak~.
Immediately after Miss Yona declared the accorded price for a kg of All-Mending Misery product, involuntary curses and flustered reactions exploded from each of the old men's mouths when Tongqiu suddenly waved his hand from the height of above their heads to directly slam it against the glass table which in return cracked albeit very little, he then spoke in utter indifference: "Let my assistant speak."
Receiving a glance from Tongqiu, Miss Yona then drank up some of her own saliva before taking a deep breathe and saying: "This product is an unguent/ointment, as its ingredients are made from different types of sources that would normally shock, repel and even destroy each other. Let alone the fact that these ingredients are only as hard as to come by as it is to take a walk outside the low class neighborhoods to arrive at a butcher's shop. There's only the need of one portion of such, to create just a couple tons of 'these'."
She said 'these' as both her hands signaled to the little boxes on top of the table. At such a motion, the old masters looked in shock from the little boxes to Miss Yona's hands before shooting directly at her face in incredulity, and seeing such obvious reaction which didn't even allowed them to have enough time to hide it, Miss Yona then spoke out again for the last time: "My boss only wants 30% of the total gains. We're thinking of taking this product towards a few other... soon-to-be partners, to see if they would instead be willing to help us out with the distribution of such. We do not see this as problematic, after all... these are only in the most basic achieved results from my boss's and my boss's wife's research, there is still a future ahead."
Creak!
"We agree!"
Old man Haotian rapidly stood up from his shrieking chair as it slid over half a meter as then placed both his hands onto the glass table with a fist form before speaking in a hurry. Of course he would decide to agree for the entire Tarn Clan at that moment, how could he not when such a threat was right about to be made real by their own neutrality?!
"But!"
Ah, they were after all, still 'fathers' of a couple of angels that they themselves have brought up. Naturally, even if the son-in-law was good to do business with, their 'daughters' was their 'daughters' still.
"Why don't you, boy, show us some kind of... 'gratitude'?"
'Hah...' Maintaining a noncommittal and rare to see expression of askance on Tongqiu's passive face as he even made a little smile in return, he looked at Tarn Haotian, waiting for his oh so desired dowry to be called upon.
"Say, this is a lot, and I really do mean a lot of money to you and naturally, to Little Natalia and Little Diana. I- ahem, although the Tarn Clan isn't low in money, not at all; we still have that 'All-Mending Misery'... Built from the foundations and speculations that our ancestors came up with, Little Natalia was only taking upon them randomly, which we are glad of course! But then again, to make this a rather honest and sincere deal, how about Mr Yun here 'invests' some more into the cause, ay?" The old man's words weren't careful but were calculated to make this little ignorant boy in front of them to become joyful and hopeful once he understood the meaning behind them, or so they thought.
'What bullshit.' Naturally, Tongqiu would have such thoughts while still maintaining his nice smile on. Of course he would find it ridiculous, it wasn't only the Tarns that had some kind of desire to creating a panacea, let alone that Tongqiu himself also studied some of it when he was just a kid; just a kid!
In any way, he showed no emotion pertaining his hidden thoughts as his smile became a bit more natural before saying: "Ah, grandpa please. You don't have to beat around the bush, just tell me how much, yes?"
"Hm hm." Pleased with himself and his schemes, old man Haotian then took his time before answering smugly with his aged face and brows arching ever so mockingly: "Two and a half million and it should be done, heh heh."
Without saying a single thing, as usual, Tongqiu took out his phone that by this time was also new; and asked Diana a little thing to her ear to which she instinctively blushed a little before finally sending the money directly to Tarn Haotian's account.
Ti-ling~!
'Eh? This fast? This kid must be trying to play some tricks...' Tarn Haotian's thoughts stopped at once the moment he saw the notification of his phone be of an astounding number entering his account; crazily turning his head back and forth between the screen of his phone and Tongqiu, Tarn Haotian only checked properly on the information once he was growing dizzier at his silly movements.
Tap.
"Sigh..." The oldest brother finally gave a slight sigh after throwing his phone at the table heavily, he then seemingly became increasingly tired as he gazed onto the corner of the ceiling in the distance with his head supported by his left hand on the table.
Silence.
And after quite some time of silence, the old man's -now seemingly broken- words came towards everyone's ears even though it seemed to be barely audible: "It's uh... it's getting really late. Little Diana, I'm so glad you've grown up, haha, so much. Yeah... Take care, ok? Tell Natalia that, whatever she needs us, uh... she can ask for it through the game if she isn't willing to contact us through... well. We-... I miss our Little Natalia, I'm..."
He didn't finish his words but he slowly separated himself from his spot, straightening up his back and starting to walk out of the Main Hall himself, not caring about the poor chair that was sent away before.
The other two old masters flashed them with a smile before also taking their leave, allowing the three youngsters to finally take a break after such a day; well maybe.
"For the previous event... we're truly sorry, it wasn't something we were looking for. Oh well, tell Natalia to not get little Natalias unless she's truly ready, okay? She would never stop talking about a certain young kid her age back then, ayayay." Then, out of nowhere, they heard the voice of Tarn Glorius from their backs as they were intending to get up their seats to also exit not only the Main Hall but also the entire Tarn Clan's territory at once.
Looking behind themselves, they saw old man Glorius wave at them rather warmly, totally ignoring the fact he'd just spouted some nonsense.
Diana blushing; Miss Yona blushing; fuck, even Tongqiu was blushing! He even uttered: "Ah... I forgot Naty can also get pregnant, oops."
With those shocking words, both women became totally sent out of this world as their little heads went to the next level of going blank. Smiling, Tongqiu took both their waists with his evil arms as they made their way towards the Main Hall's one and only entrance and exit.
Halfway through there though, Tongqiu's back arched forwards with his shoulders appearing more thick and full out of nowhere, he maintained that pose for about more than two seconds before going back to normal.
"Ah, baby, is something the matter?"
"Beishang, what is it?"
Hearing their voices, Tongqiu's nostrils exhaled strongly a few times before finally recovering, with an all-knowing smile, he then picked up his pace as he talked to them.
"Nothing, it's nothing ah. Little Diana, tell me something, do you know anything about your parents? Also, Miss Yona, what are the contraceptives- ahem, that you use?"
Diana was the first to respond after blinking a couple times with a tiny yet obedient voice: "They were most likely heavily injured in a weird operation long ago... uncles wouldn't tell me about it so I let it go. I wasn't alone, I had my Big Sister, my uncles and... adoptive parents, I guess."
She then fell into a silent behavior as her head rested on Tongqiu's right shoulder. Next was Miss Yona's turn to talk as she said with a blushing face: "Ah, I use the most efficient. They are also the ones that sell the most from the Flick's business so... yeah, I bought them in the airplane since you didn't leave me no choice before."
Blinking and blinking, Tongqiu then said with a trembling voice that was notorious of his current state of confusion as well as excitement: "Ah this... Yona, don't use them anymore, cough cough. If something comes up from it we'll deal with it properly, I can also... ugh, I can also make it so my sperm isn't capable of taking you to a different status, if you know what I mean. If, when you are ready, we can... make plans for that, oh fuck, is more embarrassing than what I have had initially thought it would be."
"Hehehe- ah, mmhmhehehe..." Miss Yona was first taken aback, it was better to leave such matters for a later date than right now, after all they were still short of personnel. But when he continued on to explain his motives, she also felt confused yet excited at the same time as she blushed and felt really warm inside.
"Oh yeah? When is my turn then? I've been with you for so long but you haven't eaten me up yet." Diana's soft voice came inside Tongqiu's ears which he found really hard to endure, but he then turned to look at her for some seconds before leaning into her to whisper sweet nothings at her.
At first, Diana was slightly still unconvinced as a small pout had already formed at her lips, but she suddenly broke into a sweet smile that she couldn't even contain her own girly giggles and narrowing, seductive eyes from melting. Giving them once more the image that charmed Tongqiu like an idiot back then at the pool at the Oceanic Blue Lands.
"Hm. Alright, let's go... Mmm, Miss Yona?"
"Ah! Y-yes?" Suddenly being spoken to so inconspicuously with a curious yet devilish glint in his eyes, it was obvious to imagine what this crazy sex monster could be thinking of. She immediately after giving it just a simple thought- started to fling her arms in and out in 'X' forms as she closed her eyes rather cutely in terror.
She spoke in a timid voice: "No way, no way! I'm already tired and even numb down there. A-a-and... I don't wanna use the medicine again, that will make my body's training be deteriorated, you know?"
Before Tongqiu could speak, she added: "Besides, you don't even need to use that when talking about life with Madam Natalia, right?"
"Er- no I don't, she doesn't... need one... huh." Wild ideas were continuously coming inside Tongqiu's head only to stay there, forever, and ever growing more and more devilish...
Meanwhile, Diana was facepalming herself a little to the inconvenience that was Tongqiu to take care of, she then spotted two little maids that were accompanying them to the exit of the building.
Ting!
An idea was formed right then and there.
Her voice already trembling a little out of nervousness, Diana's voice traveled all the way towards a large area all around the three of them where even the maids could hear her words, which in turn also became somewhat conscious of them:"Ahem, baby?"
"Yes, Diana?"
"Uhm... I was wondering if~, we could bring- these two little chicks towards our room for tonight, hm?" At the mention of 'these two', Diana had already caught the pair of little maids that were looking at him with their eyes wide opened.
"Ah, Diana you... are you, ehm, sure?" Tongqiu visibly gulped down as he lightly questioned one of his already decided-to-be wife's proactiveness at being the best kind of wing man he could ever hope for.
"Bah! Stop being such a pussy! You don't eat me up, you can't eat Miss Yona up, otherwise you could hurt her. Then, who are you gonna eat up instead?! Besides, I know the happenings around the Tarn Clan. If you don't do it, someone else will, and that someone else will be able to keep them all for themselves. Hmph, what are you waiting for?" Indeed, Tongqiu's heart beat like crazy while his hands visibly trembled from restraining himself. He did found it quite absurd, but it was nothing bad of it; instead, he found this to be insulting to Diana but seeing her look at him with a knowing and even encouraging glance made him feel that he was treating her too much in a robotic way.
"Mm, okay." Tongqiu finally nodded after gazing directly, and only, at Diana for about half a minute or so before turning to look at the little maids caught by her.
They were beautiful alright, and the sentiment of them being taken by others sooner or later didn't help at all in the great way of what morals where. So he asked them sincerely, with a neutral tone: "What do you say, would you accept?"
It was one thing to 'save' them for a certain ugly future, short future. It was another to take them under his banner, and take care of them for the rest of their lives... by signing it off with just sex. That's why he planned to make this an absurd flash interview of 'would you like to join my harem?' kind of absurdity of the moment.
They looked a little young, definitely not above 20 years old and really well trained by a matron in the art of being a maid, or things like that.
One of them looked at the other caught little maid as she then gulped down to let go of her uncalled-for fear as she then looked at Tongqiu right in the eye for 3 seconds -something which would allow anyone to mistreat her however they wanted should that be the typical type of person inside a Founding Clan-, before speaking in a melodic, natural voice: "Sir... Yun. We are the oldest Master's appointed maids, they treat us very kindly and warmly, they are like our real uncles- the family we never had. So, I'd like to know... the thing is, were there to be a person who, eh- 'cooked the rice' with us, woman or man; they would surely take us to be with them. Is it the case with Sir Yun? Will you take care of us if we give our all to Sir Yun?"
Tongqiu's eyes opened at the fullest to this revelation as he thought to himself: 'Woah, wait what? These old masters... wait! Where they?- Huh?! Aw, fuck man. Seems like Little Diana knew too, looking at the mischievous glint on her eyes.'
Indeed, those old masters had apparently been grooming little wives for certain people; as for who those people were... Taking into consideration how the oldest among them was already emitting such a stench of guilt and self-blame, it made sense that they probably wanted to create some good merits. Even if sneakily accomplished so, just like these little maids were dutifully trained into not only maids but also as great women, he could easily guess they were trying to create good outcome should a candidate present himself.
Whether or not those wild guesses and train of thoughts were the actual truth mattered not, Tongqiu knew Diana wouldn't be fooled by anyone after her past grievances took place along with Natalia's. In any case, all of such thoughts took only about less than a second before Tongqiu responded to the little maid's worries.
"Mn, I will. But I'll need you to work hard, okay? There's many other sisters of your age or older who will take care of you there as well as play with you, it's not as big as it is here but it can take many more of you so you don't have to be a worry of being a bother. The pay will also be good, mn, how about it then?" At this point, Tongqiu's face was already only centimeters away from them right in between the two little maids as well.
Feeling suffocated yet intrigued, the little maids looked at each other before collectively nodding at him in determination.
Nodding too in response, Tongqiu then lightly gripped their chins before giving each a little peck in their lips, prompting them to open their lips in surprise and turn the little peck into a moist little peck.
After a few seconds of sudden show of affection, Tongqiu then separated from them as he spoke out loud towards the five of them: "Alright, I'm pretty sure everyone here is tired. So let us just go the hotel, dinner and rest for the night. We'll leave the All-Healing Region for the Progress Value Region after another two days."
With that, they left the building as they went inside a large specialized car for interiors, onwards to the exit of the Tarn Clan's territory. It was already 10 pm and the night was as dark as it could get, it was time for everyone in this side of the world to be in their own warm and fuzzy homes getting ready to sleep.
Meanwhile, Diana's and Miss Yona's train of thought twisted and jumped in confusion, both by the same reason.
'Weren't we leaving the day right after the meeting?'
...
