Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 436: Beginner title

As we followed the cloaked figures, I noticed that we were heading to the center of the city.

But I still had no idea just where we were heading.

As if they could guess what I was thinking, the leader of the cloaked figure said, "We’re going to the City Lord Manor. The city lords of the provincial capitals all have a Transport Array that will lead to the empire’s royal capital just in case anything happens."

I was surprised to hear them say this, but it certainly answered my question.

It seemed like they really wanted to get Mu Bao Bao to the capital of the empire as soon as possible.

Mu Bao Bao took this chance to ask, "How did you even find me so fast?"

In a slightly bitter voice, the leader of the cloaked figures said, "Your highness, you are from the Nine Tails Fox Race. Even if you try to hide yourself, there’s no hiding the natural bloodline suppression that you release. The moment that you came up from the lower realm, the guards at the lower realm portal immediately realized your true identity and sent a report to the capital."

I slowly gave a nod after hearing this.

It seemed like I finally figured out the reason why the guards at the portal had acted the friendly way that they had. They had immediately noticed the bloodline suppression from Mu Bao Bao, which was why they had treated us so well.

But that also made it strange that Young Master Hu hadn’t felt it either.

Since he had a high position in this city, he should have been from the fox race as well. If that was the case, he should have felt the bloodline suppression from Mu Bao Bao as well.

Once again, as if they had guessed what I was thinking, the leader of the cloaked figures said, "That fool was a well known idiot prodigal of this city. He was someone who was just a fool, so he just ignored the sensation of the bloodline suppression. Some dumb people just can’t be helped."

Then after a pause, they added, "As for the others, they weren’t from the fox race. Even if the fox race rules over this upper realm, that doesn’t mean that everyone is from the fox race. There were many other races in this upper realm even before his majesty’s ancestors took over, so there are still many different races in this upper realm."

I slowly gave a nod to show that I understood, but there was one more thing that confused me.

I had a title still, so it should have helped me out in that situation.

If Young Master Hu was from the fox race, then shouldn’t my Friend of Nature title have activated and made him friendly towards me.

"The Friend of Nature title is only a beginner title. That means that it only works on those that haven’t reached the Immortal Realm yet. Those that have reached the Immortal Realm won’t feel the effects of the title as clearly. It will only mildly affect them and won’t completely change their feelings. Please work hard to upgrade the title."

That was the last piece of the puzzle that the system gave me, but still...

"Why didn’t you tell me that it was only a beginner title? This is the kind of thing that you should make clear beforehand."

The system remained silent even though I complained, so I continued.

"In situations like this, shouldn’t you compensate me in some way to make up for my losses?"

"It seems like partner isn’t satisfied with the title. Then the system will take it away now so you no longer have to suffer from it."

"No, no, that’s not what I said."

The system didn’t say anything else after that, but it was clear by the way that it remained silent about what it was thinking.

It was clear that the system had played me...

"It really feels like you’ve been becoming more and more eloquent lately. It’s almost as if you’re developing a mind of your own."

The system didn’t say anything in response at first, but then it said, "It’s just your imagination."

No, no matter how you look at it, it seems like you’ve become more intelligent.

Especially after the upgrade once we came to this upper realm...

I really wanted to say this, but I kept my mouth shut in the end since it seemed like the system didn’t want to talk about this.

Whether it was because it couldn’t talk about this because it was restricted or if it just didn’t want to discuss this, it didn’t matter.

I wouldn’t make it hard on the system.

After reaching the City Lord Manor, the cloaked figures didn’t even let the city lord approach Mu Bao Bao even though it was clear that the city lord wanted to talk to her.

It was as if there was nothing more important than getting Mu Bao Bao to the capital.

I could already imagine why and it was the reason why there was a bitter look on Mu Bao Bao’s face.

But in the end, we still took the Transport Array that was in the City Lord Manor to the capital.

When I saw this Transport Array, I couldn’t help comparing it to the Transport Array that the system had given me before and thinking, "This really is better."

"The system has better Transport Arrays, it’s just that you don’t have access to them yet."

The system’s sharp words really cut into my heart, but there was nothing that I could say in response since I knew that the system was right.

Though there was a small part of me that wanted to say...

"Why would a prodigal care that much about getting stronger?"

When we arrived on the other side, there was no time to recover at all as a voice said...

"Bao Bao! You’re finally back!"

There wasn’t even a need to see the person that spoke to know who it was.

It was a familiar voice.
