Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Panda Novel

Bei Family, inside Bei Mingxuan’s study room.

<span> “This Hong Dali is really daring.” Bei Mingxuan stroked his chin and sneered. “I’m a little too anxious. With Hong Dali’s prodigal nature, I’m afraid the Hong Family fortunes will be completely squandered by him before the old man Hong Xingyu dies!”

<span> “Father, this Hong Dali is really hateful.” Bei Yuanqing clenched his teeth tight with hatred. “He’s just a prodigal, but he’s so scheming. He’s an unknown variable in the Hong Family. We must be careful.”

<span> “I know.” Bei Mingxuan nodded. “He gambled and got the Wings of the Starry Sky helmet and the secret manual. His luck is really good. However, I don’t believe his luck can always be so good. Well, we can’t be too careful. He is such a high-profile prodigal, is there some hidden agenda? Did Hong Xingyu instruct him to do so? Or is he doing it of his own accord?”

<span> “I think it’s of his own accord.” Bei Yuanqing thought for a while, then nodded with conviction. “I don’t understand why he’s doing this. No one can guarantee continuous good luck while treasure gambling. This time, let’s watch him lose everything!”

<span> Countless people had lost their entire family fortunes treasure gambling. After all, there were many types of equipment in this world. Although the items obtained from treasure generally had a guaranteed base value, the fluctuation in price was too great.

<span> Take, for example, a purple godly item and a blue legendary item. The price of a godly item was 500,000, while the price of a legendary item was 150,000. The price difference of 350,000 did not seem much, but which gambler did not gamble at least 8 or 10 items at one go?

<span> The low-level items were usually for children. The high-level ones were for those who were ready to strengthen themselves. Who would not want a top-grade item?

<span> However, think about it. If one gambled ten purple godly items and all the items turned out to be equipment that could only sell for 10,000 or 20,000, how much would they have lost? Three million!

<span> One might not think much about it if it were just once or twice. But what if it was many times? If they lost three million each time, what about ten times?

<span> There might be some people who were lucky and managed to get items that were worth hundreds of thousands, or even millions while treasure gambling. But, over time, most of them would lose money. They would usually lose all their capital.

<span> “It’s good that Hong Dali is headed toward his own doom. But, we cannot just sit and wait. We have to do something.” Bei Mingxuan touched his chin and then smiled. “Yes, since he is a member of the royal family, then he will definitely have to attend school at the Divine College. If he goes there, don’t forget to take ‘good’ care of him.”

<span> “But father, he can transform into a Star Knight, and he can cut through the protective barrier of the Zhu Family in one stroke…” said Bei Yuanqing uncomfortably.

<span> He had complete confidence when dealing with ordinary people, but Hong Dali could transform into a Star Knight. He was not so confident that he could deal with him.

<span> “What are you afraid of?” Bei Mingxuan did not seem bothered. “He cannot transform into a Star Knight whenever he wants. There is a cooling down period after every transformation. Furthermore, his Health attributes will be deducted. You don’t have to do it yourself. Just get someone else to do the dirty work and you can watch from afar. You will be fine.”

<span> “That’s true!” Bei Yuanqing’s eyes lit up. “Okay, once he enters the Divine College, I will make him wish for death, hahahahaha!”

<span> “Oh, by the way,” when Bei Mingxuan saw that Bei Yuanqing was about to leave, his eyes suddenly lit up and said happily, “in our treasure building, I remember there is a magical artifact called the Zimu Yin-Yang Rod which we bought at a high price from the Dimensional War Item Auction. Bring it with you this time!”

<span> “Zimu Yin-Yang Rod?” Bei Yuanqing was stunned for a while before he gave a chortle of joy. He laughed and said, “Father, you are talking about the Zimu Yin-Yang Rod that can undo a transformation?!”

<span> “Yes, that’s the one.” Bei Mingxuan said with a grin, “Although the Star Knight is strong, it might not be useful against a Cultivator’s dimensional artifact. Hahahaha! Go get it.”

<span> “Yes!” Bei Yuanqing laughed and left.

<span> …

<span> Back to Hong Dali. When he returned to the Hong Family manor, Old Madam Hua Yueling came out to greet him. Once she saw Hong Dali, she held his hand and said dotingly, “Aiya, little sweetheart, are you feeling better?”

<span> “Much better.” Hong Dali grinned. “I feel so much better after going out to squander. Great-Grandmother, the wind is so strong outside, why are you waiting for me here?”

<span> “Silly boy, I’m worried about you.” Hua Yueling looked at him fondly, then smiled and said, “Well, there’s one more thing. Go back and pack up, I will send you to the Divine College tomorrow. It’s safe there. Otherwise, the Bei and Zhu Families will keep plotting against you here.”

<span> He had to go to school tomorrow?

<span> “So fast?” Hong Dali opened his eyes wide. “Is it fun over there?”

<span> “It’s not bad. You’ll know when you get there.” Hua Yueling patted Hong Dali’s head. “Rest early and get ready.”

<span> “Okay.”

<span> After he returned to his residence, Hong Dali looked at the space watch. Soon, the little green phoenix Acka flew out of it and landed on top of Hong Dali’s head. He gave a satisfied burp.

<span> Hong Dali had put all the equipment he had gotten from gambling in there and as expected, they had become delicious food for Acka.

<span> “Hehe, little Acka, I have not seen you for a few days and you seem to have grown bigger.” Hong Dali carried Acka off his head with a grin and said, “I’m going to school tomorrow and I’m afraid you’ll be hungry. So, in three days, I will gamble on more things at one go. You can have all the not-so-useful ones as snacks.”

<span> “Chirp, chirp!” Hearing that, Acka was very happy and rubbed himself against Hong Dali’s palm.

<span> “Well, alright.” Hong Dali looked at his lackeys. “Everyone, get ready and pack up. We will set off for the Divine College tomorrow!”

<span> “Okay!”

<span> Then, they returned to their rooms and started packing.

<span> It was a quiet night.

<span> Early the next morning, when Hong Dali was still sleeping soundly, Hua Xiangyu’s voice rang out from outside the room. “Big Brother Dali, wake up quickly. It’s time for us to go to school!”

<span> “What time is it?” Hong Dali mumbled and turned over. “I have to go to school again… I’m hungry, I want to drink soy milk…”

<span> “It’s already 7 AM. You’ll be late if you don’t get up now!” Hua Xiangyu asked, “What is soy milk?”

<span> “It’s something very tasty to drink…” Hong Dali climbed up in a daze, put on his clothes, and stumbled to open the door. Unexpectedly, he lost his balance and fell straight into Hua Xiangyu’s arms…

<span> “Big Brother Dali, are you still not feeling well?” Hua Xiangyu’s face flushed obviously, but she did not move away. She stood there, clearly nervous as she said, “If you’re really not up to it, I’ll ask Grandmother to let you rest for another day…”

<span> “Ah, I’m fine…” Hong Dali rubbed his face forcefully. Hua Xiangyu did not wear that set of armor today. Perhaps it was uncomfortable to wear the full suit of armor together with the helmet. It would be a pity if she did not wear the helmet, so she simply decided not to wear the suit. Her little chest was quite soft…

<span> Hong Dali took a big breath. “I’m hungry! I want to drink soy milk! I want to drink soy milk! I want to buy two bowls, one to drink and one to pour!”

<span> Hong Dali’s words just happened to be overheard by Old Madam Hua Yueling. She hurried over and asked, “Little sweetheart, what is soy milk? Where is it sold? I’ll ask someone to buy it for you.”

<span> “It’s available near my house. I don’t know about this place.” Hong Dali sniffed, still groggy.

<span> Going to school, eating breakfast and drinking soy milk. These were such familiar things, and he was a little confused, thinking that he was back on Earth…

<span> “Guards! Guards!” Old Madam yelled impatiently. “Little sweetheart wants to drink soy milk, whoever knows where to buy it, go buy it for me immediately!”

<span> “Young Master, you want to drink soy milk?” Li Yang was indeed the number two lackey. He immediately rushed over. “I’ll go and prepare the spacecraft!”

<span> So, amidst the confusion, a spacecraft soared into the sky, straight to the Star Sector-level space carrier.

<span> Soon, the Star Sector-level space carrier shimmered and disappeared into space.

<span> …

<span> New Earth, New Tianjing City, Hong Family’s new villa.

<span> “Li Yang, why are you back again?” The Old Elder Hong Tu was stunned at the sight of Li Yang. “How is Dali?!”

<span> “Young Master is doing well. It’s just that he’s going to school and needs to drink soy milk in the morning.” Li Yang looked anxiously around the villa. “Old Elder, do you have soy milk?”

<span> “Ah, yes, yes, I’ll bring you to the kitchen to get a few cups.”

<span> So, half an hour later, Hong Dali drank soy milk contentedly. He took a big gulp and sighed. “Hurrah, you have to drink soy milk if you wake up early in the morning. That’s the taste, fantastic!”

<span> Li Yang gulped—this glass of soy milk cost a lot! It was specially brought back by a Star Sector-level space carrier. Just the astral teleportation alone cost four million Shenglong Dollars!

<span> Its value and status was instantly elevated, right?

<span> After drinking soy milk and having a good breakfast, Hong Dali burped with satisfaction and set off!

<span> By the time he left his residence in the Hong Family, there were already many Hong Family members assembled outside getting ready to set off.

<span> Shenglong Royal Divine College was a huge college in Tianyuan City. There were branches of this college in every major city on Shenglong Star. It was controlled by the top three families. Of course, it was more accurate to say that they maintained the order and security of the college. The status of the Divine College was special. The dean of the college was an extremely powerful man whose strength was not below that of the heads of the top three families.

<span> That was why Hong Xingyu asked Hua Yueling to send Hong Dali there. After all, with the powerful and transcendent dean watching over everything, the Bei and Zhu families would not dare to go overboard. At least, there was no danger of losing his life there.

<span> At this time, when the members of all the other families saw Hong Dali and his group approaching, they all turned away.

<span> Obviously, their attitude towards Hong Dali was not very friendly. “Is this Hong Dali actually going to the Divine College with us? I feel really uncomfortable when I see him.” “Yes. If it were not for him, would the Chief have to accept the Marriage Annulment Challenge?” “I wonder what kind of impossible luck he has. He merged with a Golden Emperor Beetle and got a set helmet while treasure gambling. Heaven has no eyes.” ” Yes, yes. He’s just a prodigal. I get angry just looking at him. When we get to the college, let’s all ignore him.”

<span> “These people.” Tang Muxin pouted. “They don’t know what’s going on!”

<span> “Envy, jealousy, and hate.” Hong Dali grinned and curled his lip. “Only slaves are not envied. It doesn’t matter.”
