Bank of The Universe

Chapter 68: Innumerable Sons

A ball of flame!

A ball of flame that looked like a person!

It jumped about in the hands of the Flame King!

He passed it to Li Xiandao with some reluctance in its eyes, “I will give the body of a human in exchange for the opportunity to enter the human world, to learn and improve!”

Li Xiandao picked up the little flame person in his hands and stared at it without blinking.

The flame person jumped about in excitement. It was the size of a thumb and had endless amounts of energy. It hugged Li Xiandao’s finger and shook about happily.

Li Xiandao looked towards Seven.

Seven shook her head. She bent down and stared at it seriously. This was the first time she had seen such a small fire living being.

“What is this?” Li Xiandao raised his head and asked the Flame King.

The Flame King said proudly, “My son!”

Li Xiandao blinked and found it amusing, “Didn’t you say that you were the only living being in the Flame World?”

When did you end up with a son?

Moreover, why are you giving your son to me?

You want me to help raise your kid?

This is not a kindergarten!!!

Li Xiandao was a little unhappy. If the little flame guy wasn’t so cute, he would have chased the Flame King out.

“I didn’t know about this in the past.”

“I had been living in the Flame World and didn’t know about this situation. But a while ago, you forced me out and I realized that as long as I exit the Flame World, they will nurture a new life.” The Flame King said helplessly.

“So, this fellow can be considered my son. He is nurtured and raised the same way as me. Moreover, he can perfectly store my powers.” The Flame King said.

Li Xiandao played around with the mini Flame King, “Since he is your son, then take care of him and raise him well. What are you thinking throwing him to me like this?”

The Flame King thought about it and said, “I can’t keep him alive!”

“What do you mean?” Li Xiandao looked at the Flame King in shock.

You big head!

Flame World is so huge and you can’t raise your own son?

Are you kidding me?

Flame King dissed, “What you don’t know is that the Flame World is big, but only one Flame King can survive. If I am there, this fellow cannot grow. He will stay like this and never be able to grow up!”

Li Xiandao frowned and said, “Then, you can leave the Flame World and pass it on to your son. When he grows up, then you go back. Then, the two of you can have a good life.”

Flame King shook his head, “If it was in the past, I might’ve done that. But now, I won’t.”

“Why?” Li Xiandao and Seven asked the Flame King together.

They didn’t understand why the Flame King would say that.

“If I stay in the Flame World, then how different would I be from a frog under a well?” The Flame King asked Li Xiandao.

Li Xiandao was resting in the chair. The dark cold mask made him seem ice cold, but deep down he really agreed with what the Flame King said.

Compared to the entire world, the Flame World was just a well!

If both father and son remained there, they would be looking at the sky from a well!

“Your strength has shocked me. The Flame World was nothing to you and you were able to go as you pleased. You also defeated me with just one bit of sword energy, showing me what true experts are really like. I can’t continue like this and I can’t let my son follow in my path!” The Flame King said seriously.

“But you don’t need to give your son to me!” Li Xiandao looked at the mini Flame King, who was hugging his thumb; he didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

“My son is much more mouldable than me. If he grows up beside you, he will be really loyal. If you raise him, you will have a strong helper in the future.” Flame King said confidently.

Li Xiandao was extremely calm and he even had an urge to laugh.

“I will need to spend too many resources to raise your son; this deal isn’t worth it at all. I won’t agree to it.” Li Xiandao rejected.

He might not have had to profit 100% from a deal, but 50% was the minimum!

Li Xiandao wasn’t a philanthropist and he admitted that he was a cunning scammer!

He only did deals that would earn him money.

The mini Flame King was decent, but to raise him and also find a good body for the Flame King would be really expensive.

What would he earn?

Just one more helper, the mini Flame King!

After the Flame King was rejected by Li Xiandao, he wasn’t dispirited. He sighed, “I know that one won’t impress you.”

“Brother, truthfully speaking, his value is too low and I can’t answer that!” Li Xiandao said honestly.

“Do you have any other treasure? Take more out and we can discuss!” Li Xiandao revealed his thoughts right away.

The trade could continue, but one mini Flame King wasn’t enough!

He had to add more!

Flame King coughed and said reluctantly, “I have one more son... I can give him to you too.”

The moment he said this, he took out another mini Flame King from his body and placed it in Li Xiandao’s palm.

Li Xiandao was a little stunned when he looked at it. He was speechless, “This is your second son?”

Flame King nodded solemnly and said with a sad tone, “I wanted to leave one of them by my side, but it seems like I can’t. Since that is the case, then I will give you both of them. Please treat them well.”

Li Xiandao didn’t know what to say when he looked at Flame King!

Are you joking?

After taking out the first one, Li Xiandao really thought that it was Flame King’s son!

But when he took out the second one, then it didn’t make sense anymore.

Li Xiandao looked at Seven and they saw each other’s cunning natures burning bright.

Flame King was well prepared and if they didn’t squeeze him dry, then they wouldn’t be worthy of their names as cunning salesmen.

“What is the difference between one and two?” Li Xiandao asked.

Flame King said, “I am giving you both brothers and you are still not satisfied?”

“The body that I am giving you will be one that no one will realize is human unless you reveal it yourself or if the person is a Celestial. You can live for long periods in the human world and slowly evolve!” Li Xiandao promised.

Flame King’s eyes lit up. He took out another mini Flame King from his body.

“This is my youngest son, he is the last one. You have taken all three of them and it really saddens me as a father.” Flame King faked a cry.

Li Xiandao looked at the three mini Flame Kings in his hands and then looked at the Flame King with some rage.

He was giving away his sons one by one; that just felt really bad!

“How many do you have? Let me tell you, stop saying that they are your sons. You have a whole bunch of them, right?” Li Xiandao was annoyed.

Flame King thought about it and raised one finger and said, “I only have so many!”
