Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 49 - 48 Divine Beast Academy
"Who else is in your family?" Sally continued to ask.
Bai Kaixin shook his head, "No one, I'm the only bachelor left."
"What's your talent?"
"Yellow Rank Wind Element."
"Your talent seems a bit low."
"...Sorry."
"There's nothing to apologize for."
The waiter brought over the dish, a golden, glistening roast goose.
"Here you are, sir. This is our restaurant's signature dish, the Golden Roast Goose. Not just unique in Lianhua Town, you won't find a second one as delicious within a thousand miles."
After speaking, he saw the Crystal Coin on the table and was so surprised that he almost knocked over the roast goose, "Please, please, enjoy your meal!"
"Thank you," Sally replied politely.
"The rest of the dishes will be ready soon." The waiter set down the roast goose and hurried back to the kitchen.
Sally put away the Crystal Coin.
Bai Kaixin swallowed his saliva, it was unclear whether it was for the Crystal Coin or for the roast goose.
Sally took the napkin on the table to wipe her hands, then tore off a goose leg and handed it to Bai Kaixin, "Eat up, it's my treat."
"How can I accept this, after what I did before..." Bai Kaixin said shamefacedly, unable to finish his sentence.
Sally said, "No love lost, no love found, right? Just eat."
"Then, I won't be polite." Bai Kaixin didn't take the goose leg Sally handed him, instead tearing off a large chunk of the drier breast and belly meat.
Sally bit into the goose leg. The meat was tender, juicy, and delicious.
The next dish was braised fish. The aroma hit them before the dish even reached the table.
This time it wasn't the waiter serving the food but a man with rolled-up sleeves, tall, handsome, and full of vigor, who placed the fish on the table, looking at Sally's face.
There was a clear look of amazement in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Sir, wealth should not be exposed."
"Yes, thank you for the reminder," Sally smiled back, "May I ask how should I address the owner?"
"Song Sui." The man glanced at Bai Kaixin and frowned slightly, "Get out."
"I... I..." Bai Kaixin stuttered, clearly afraid to speak up, obviously quite fearful of Song Sui.
Sally said, "He's my guest. Besides, there's so much food; I can't finish it all myself."
"He's a swindler," Song Sui stated bluntly.

Bai Kaixin's face turned beet red with shame, and he dared not rebut.
Sally picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the fish, "Is that so? He said he borrowed a lot of money from people to treat his mother's illness."
"He has no mother. He's an orphan who grew up eating handouts from the townsfolk. It's true he owes money. He cheated people in town, saying he was going to the Imperial Capital to test for the Divine Beast Academy. People lent him money. But it turned out to be a lie. He gambled away the money. Not only did he lose everything, but he also ended up owing a lot to the gambling house. Now, only Lianhua Town is willing to keep him."
"I see," Sally said, looking at Bai Kaixin.
Bai Kaixin, under Sally's gaze, was so ashamed he didn't have a comeback, "I had actually won a lot, but the people at the gambling house cheated me. I was scammed."
"Even if you were scammed by the gambling house, didn't you lie to the town's folks about going to the Divine Beast Academy?"
"That too was true, it's just that... just that... I got halfway there and heard the Divine Beast Academy wasn't enrolling anymore."
"What sort of place is the Divine Beast Academy?" Sally asked curiously.
"Across the Eastern District, Beastmen under eighteen years old can try out for the Divine Beast Academy during the enrollment period. If they pass, they can study at the Divine Beast Academy. After graduation, with a certificate from the Divine Beast Academy, you can work at a local Beast God Temple. It's considered a secure job," Song Sui replied.
Bai Kaixin hung his head low, "I will go to the Divine Beast Academy this year."
