Chapter 288: Episode 26.9 Going To The Hunter Association’s Headquarters

Bai Tingfeng has been busy settling a few things in the Baihu Guild. He’s super busy, especially now that their guild is in demand.

Their guild and subsidiaries’ stocks are rising. Thus, he spent most of his 24 hours doing administrative work for the past few days. Not to mention, Bai Tingfeng discreetly scourses the entire guild to spot and root out the evil who smuggled the massive mana-diffusing device.

The alpha didn’t forget that fact despite all the excitement around him. Not even his newly inspired power distracted him.

"I’m still not over the fact that I didn’t get to use the talisman you sent. Didn’t you give the invisibility talisman to ambush that necromancer? At that time, I was rushing to clear the dungeon to quickly run to your side. However, the hydra happened... I promise you, Yuan. The next time such a thing happens, I’ll be quick to go to your side and cooperate with your plans," Bai Tingfeng answered solemnly when Shen Yuan once asked why he was too adamant and hasty on rooting out the "spy."

It seems like the Dungeon Terror Incident sparked something inside Bai Tingfeng. It could be hate towards the Cardinals or something more. Shen Yuan didn’t ask as he witnessed how busy he became.

For example, today, Bai Tingfeng left early to visit the Baihu Guild.

The poor guy didn’t have the time to taste his new powers properly.

On the other hand, Shen Yuan’s days are also productive.

He works for the Hunter Association. That fact in itself is a statement of how busy he must be. Reports and conferences happened multiple times over the past three days. It almost came to the point that his work-from-home perk was reduced to a myth because he’s mostly stayed in the Hunter Association’s headquarters to settle all the work that the Dungeon Terror Incident left.

In addition to that, he had to take care of a few personal businesses. Shen Yuan’s schedule is really hectic. The celestial fox spirit believes that if it weren’t for the rich mana he extracted from the hyper-reactive mana stone, he would collapse from exhaustion.

Because of this, he couldn’t help but love Bai Tingfeng more. If Bai Tingfeng didn’t give him the chance to recharge inside the mana-rich dungeon, he would probably look haggard as fuck like college students in their final year.

"Yanyan, we’re leaving now," Shen Yuan called his son after some time.

The little boy, busy bragging about his parents, immediately drops everything and goes to his Daddy, standing in front of the car door. The engine is hot and ready to go, and Gu Jinpeng, who will serve as the driver today, is waiting for them.

"Is it check up again, Daddy?" Yanyan asked Shen Yuan as the latter fastened the boy to his booster seat.

"Grandpa Mao is too strict. I already said that I am healthy and fine." The little boy pouted like a duck.

"Well, it’s for your health and safety, so we could do nothing but do it." Shen Yuan answered.

Blessings and misfortunes often come hand in hand. While Shen Yuan’s achievements in the incident are celebrated, a few little misses he knowingly made are also not overlooked. Yanyan’s entry to the dungeon, which is very illegal, caused a few inconveniences for Shen Yuan.

No, no child endangerment case was filed against him. He’s a decorated S-class awakener; thus, for better or for worse, the law is pretty lenient towards him.

No, he didn’t receive a suspension or expulsion for breaking the law. The Hunter Association needed him now more than ever. There’s no way Chairman Mao let him go!

The punishment he received was considered a slap on the wrist. They are reprimanded by Chairman Mao (of course, being the boss, this part is inevitable) and 50 hours of community service (further details haven’t been disclosed yet since Hunter Association is more focused on dealing with the aftermath of the terrorist attack), and mandatory checkup for Yanyan.

The first punishment came down when he stepped out of the dungeon with his family. The second is still in TBA status (To Be Announced), and the third, well, it is scheduled regularly to see if Yanyan’s exposure to dungeon mana has adverse effects.

Shen Yuan is optimistic that there wouldn’t be any harm since, throughout the ordeal, Yanyan was protected by his tails. However, he could not explain that to others without revealing his deepest secrets, so he opted to follow Chairman Mao’s plan.

Besides, there’s nothing harm in being mindful of his child’s well-being, right?

The daddy and son— together with Gu Jinpeng— hit the road to go to the Hunter Association’s headquarters. They have a clinic that is specialized in dealing with mana-related health concerns.

The journey was brief and uneventful, much to Shen Yuan’s liking. Their car is seen stopping in front of the headquarters almost forty minutes later.

"Happy parking, Uncle Jinpeng!" Yanyan brightly beamed as his Daddy helped him out of the car.

A rare soft smile bloomed on the former assassin’s face. "Thank you, Young Master. Do well with your test!"

If others were to hear those words, they would think that Yanyan would take the awakened test.

Shen Yuan huffed softly. "Just wait for us in my office. We will be done in about an hour."

Gu Jinpeng nodded with a firm army-like "Yes!" He knows they will do the civil servants’ job after this.

Shen Yuan and Yanyan, this beautiful duo, gracefully stepped onto the stairs leading to the headquarters’ entrance. Like a total eye-catching pair, they attracted the attention of the people going inside and outside of the building.

"Oh goodness! It’s Shen Yuan and his son!" Statements like this are heard like popping popcorn.

’I’ve been going here every day for days now. Why do they always act like this is the first time they saw me?’ Shen Yuan thought deep inside.

As it turns out, today is the day for awakener’s registration. Most of the people here are newly awakened individuals who are here to test their powers. Therefore, this is the first time they meet Shen Yuan in person.

"Daddy..." Yanyan whined softly like a newborn cub.

Shen Yuan looked at his son and saw the little boy shyly hiding his face to his side. He internally hit his forehead.

Right! His son is still uncomfortable around strangers. How could he forget that?

Shen Yuan carefully picked up and hugged his boy. "Everything is okay, Yanyan. No one will take you. They are just looking because we looked good together, my mini-me."

Yanyan looked at his Daddy and revealed his perfect set of teeth, "Daddy, I am shy..."

Shen Yuan laughed at his son’s cuteness. He doesn’t have negative thoughts, but he can’t help but think this is his son’s karma.

’Haha! This is your redemption for all the teasing!’ Shen Yuan slyly smirked.

The daddy and son duo walked towards the entrance, looking adorably glued to each other. As a mindful celebrity, Shen Yuan waved and smiled at some people looking at them.

Meanwhile, Yanyan buried half of his face on his daddy’s shoulder. He is timidly peeking at the people they walk past with one eye.

"Hello..." Yanyan attempted to wave his hand at one omega girl who was about 15 years old or so.

"!!"

’So cute!!’ The teenager internally screamed, her heart almost melting on the spot.

Of course, Shen Yuan knew about his son’s attempt to greet unfamiliar people, and he supported it.

As long as no one from these differentiated bunch dared to leak their pheromones, no corpse would pop out of the steps of the Hunter Association Headquarters. Hopefully, everyone is decent people here. Smart enough to know what they can and can’t do in public.

Shen Yuan’s steps became slower for Yanyan to look at these people.

"Oh my god!" The two were about to enter the Hunter Association’s door when suddenly, someone screamed. It’s not a cry of fright or anything remotely bad.

It’s a cry one would hear when someone even more famous appeared.

’Who upstaged them?’ Shen Yuan asked himself.

The answer to that question came quickly when someone dismounted from a flying sword.

"Yuan, did you just arrive?" Asked the most handsome alpha Shen Yuan had ever seen.

This man owns the lavender-scented pheromones, and he wouldn’t mind sniffing them in public. "Yes, Tingfeng. Why are you here? I thought you were busy."

Bai Tingfeng sexily rolled his eyes, the kind that’s oozing with male sex appeal. "If it’s for you two, I will always have time."

"Papa!" Shy-faced Yanyan immediately had an energy spike when he saw his alpha father’s arrival.

Bai Tingfeng went to kiss his son’s head. Then, without hesitation, he placed his hand on Shen Yuan’s back and leaned forward to kiss the celestial fox spirit on the kiss.

IN FRONT OF THE CROWD!

"Kyaaa!" Of course, it’s natural for these spectators to react excitedly. This move itself is a tea! It’s something they can share and post about on the SNS!

"This..." Shen Yuan is flustered. As a fox spirit, shamelessness is his middle name! However, even with that, he still couldn’t help but feel shy, damn it!

"Let’s hurry and go! We’re almost late for Yanyan’s appointment!" Shen Yuan hurriedly said before he pulled his husband inside the building.

Seriously, a lot of things have changed after that damned Dungeon Terror Incident!
