"Come on, I'll take you out!"
"Wait a second, I'll go get some of my belongings."
Yun Feiyang led Makarov to a waterfall and ducked into a cave.
This was where he had lived for three years. Though crude, it had at least sheltered him from wind and rain.
Now that he was leaving, he really was a little reluctant... my ass!
He hated this damn place and wished he could fly out immediately. Right now, he felt exactly like his name implied—chilled to the bone, his heart soaring!
As Makarov's mouth twitched, he dragged out a huge bundle.
It was a bundle sewn from Beast Hide, containing all his possessions.
"What exactly is in there?"
"Beast Hide. All of it is complete fur, carefully selected and saved by me. Since I'm heading out, and I don't have a penny to my name, I can sell these for money!"
Over the past three years, he had killed countless Magic Beasts, saving only the strongest, prettiest, and most intact hides.
"Not bad. You're quite thrifty!"
"Of course!"
"Let's go!"
"Right away!"
"Clear Breeze Accompany My Body!"
Yun Feiyang muttered an incantation, and the wind lifted both him and the bundle into the air.
"You're... quite good at applying what you've learned!"
"It's convenient. Guild Master, want one too?"
"No need!"
Makarov said meaningfully, "People should keep their feet on the ground. Cutting corners is absolutely unacceptable!"
Yun Feiyang curled his lip. Old people really were long-winded and loved lecturing others!
"Guild Master, walk faster!"
"Guild Master, will you even get out by nightfall at this pace?"
"Guild Master, are you crawling?"
"Guild Master, why don't you just roll? It'd be faster, really!"
Unable to endure it any longer, Makarov roared, "Shut up! How am I supposed to go faster? Is this any way to bully an old man?"
Yeah, how could those short little legs move quickly?
"Forget it, forget it. Just let me fly!"
"Hehe, don't you like keeping your feet on the ground? I think this is pretty good too. You should just walk slowly!"
Veins bulged on Makarov's forehead. He was so furious he nearly used Fairy Law to let this kid know why flowers were so red!
"By the way, Guild Master, these furs should be worth quite a bit, right?"
"That depends on who you sell them to. If you sell them to ordinary merchants, you'll get a few million J at most. But if you sell them to Mages, ten million J is guaranteed."
Magic Beast hides possessed various properties, such as cold resistance, fire resistance, water resistance, electric resistance, wear resistance... ahem, and so on. They were extremely popular in the Magic World.
J was the currency used in this world. Its purchasing power was relatively low; ten thousand J was equivalent to five hundred yuan, roughly the same as the national currency of the Island Nation.
"I suggest selling them to the Guild."
"The Guild buys these too?"
"Of course. Guilds have their own businesses, including Magic Tools. Your hides can be made into clothes, and there won't be any trouble selling them. As for the price, the Guild will buy them at market value. We won't take advantage of family."
"I see. Then I'll sell them to the Guild."
"Fine. Once we're back, we'll assess them and tell you the exact price."
"No problem!"
In the end, Yun Feiyang could no longer stand Makarov's sluggish pace. He summoned a fierce wind and carried him to the edge.
Makarov took out the Compass Key and opened the Barrier Gate.
To Yun Feiyang, this passage leading outside was a gate to heaven!
"Stop getting so excited. Let's go!"
The moment he stepped out of the Barrier Gate, Yun Feiyang could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and shouted, "I, Hu Hansan, am finally out!"
Then a gust of blizzard wind hit him, making him shiver!
"What kind of dump is this? The environment is so terrible!"
"This is the summit of Mount Hakobe, covered by blizzards all year round."
"Is the Guild far from here?"
"Not far. We'll get there after walking for a few hours!"
And that was supposed to be not far?
Walking was impossible. There was no way he would walk in this lifetime!
Yun Feiyang took Makarov straight back through the air and landed in Magnolia Town.
Magnolia was a historic commercial city of Magic, its streets bustling with people.
"People, so many people! This is great! Hahaha..."
"Uncle, how much is this?"
"What? Pay money? See that Makarov over there? Go ask him for it!"
"Auntie, can this be any cheaper?"
"What? You don't even know the Guild Master of Fairy Tail?"
"Auntie, your milk is delicious. Can I have some more?"
"See that lecherous little old man over there? He wants some too!"
Yun Feiyang ran around like an unbridled wild horse, while poor Makarov could only serve as his walking wallet.
"Honestly, after spending three years alone, most people would develop claustrophobia or a fear of crowds. But this kid somehow developed Social Butterfly Syndrome instead!"
After making a round of the town, Yun Feiyang's luggage had gained a huge pile of things, and he had changed into casual clothes.
Yun Feiyang cared greatly about his appearance. His original Beast Hide outfit did not look bad, but it made him stand out too much. If he did not change out of it, it would damage his handsome image.
Makarov looked at his empty wallet, his heart aching terribly.
"Let's make this clear first. The money you spent will be deducted from the value of those hides."
"Got it, got it. You're so stingy!"
At the end of the street stood a building: Fairy Tail, with the sea behind it.
"Well? This is our Guild, your home from now on!"
Yun Feiyang evaluated it. "It's a little old."
"Well~ it hasn't been renovated in twenty years, after all."
"Why renovate it? Just tear it down and rebuild it."
"Cough, cough~~ the exterior isn't important. What matters in a Guild is what's inside, like your Partners. They definitely won't disappoint you!"
The brat made it sound so easy. Did he think rebuilding did not cost money?
"We're going in!"
The instant he pushed open the door, a human projectile came flying toward them—a black-haired girl.
Makarov's eyes lit up, and he spread his arms to catch her...
"Guild Master, watch out!"
At the critical moment, Yun Feiyang stepped forward and reached out...
Squeeze, squeeze!
"Too small! Your vision is too narrow!"
Makarov was green with envy. That was supposed to be my treatment, okay? And what was wrong with small? Small was still flesh!
After setting the girl down, Yun Feiyang stared in shock at the scene inside the Guild.
Where was this friendly, loving Guild? It was practically a pack of lunatics!
They were either brawling in groups or wrecking things everywhere. The entire Guild was a complete mess!
Especially that pink-haired boy and that perverted boy—one breathed fire everywhere while the other froze everything around him, and the two fought with great delight.
There was also a terrifying red-haired girl. She kept yelling that fighting was forbidden, yet she swung a huge sword around and slashed at everything. She was the craziest one of all!
Yun Feiyang's mouth twitched. "This is the inside you were talking about?"
"Handsome, want a date tonight?"
The girl he had saved wrapped herself around him, her eyes sultry!
Good heavens, you were only twelve or thirteen, weren't you? Why did you look like such an experienced player?
The girl burped, reeking of alcohol!
"How many dishes did you have? How did you get this drunk?"
Yun Feiyang asked Makarov again, "Are you sure this is a Guild and not a mental asylum?"
Makarov's face turned green with rage. His fury shot straight into the sky as he transformed into a giant!
