Chapter 206: English Aristocrat

Translator: Aristophaneso

“What? What did you say? Chu Xian dear, you said you found a Hydrophis Cyanocinctus?”

An astonished voice came out of the phone.

“David, it can’t be that you think I’d joke around with you about this. I’ve heard you mention this Hydrophis Cyanocinctus a couple times already, so I’ve done some of my own research. You also know that I opened up a sea snake company near the Gulf of Thailand. I had good luck and caught a single Hydrophis Cyanocinctus. It weighs around fifteen catties, and is about two meters long. I’ll send you a picture.” Chu Xian chuckled and replied.

“Oh, dear Chu Xian, you are really my lucky star. Send me the picture quickly!” David replied with some anxiousness.

Chu Xian smiled and hung up, and send over the picture he had taken.

Less than a minute later, his phone rang.

“Oh heavens, Chu Xian dear, you really did find a Hydrophis Cyanocinctus. That’s amazing. Great. Where are you right now?” David replied in an excited and loud voice.

Chu Xian laughed. “I am in Thailand right now. It’s a little difficult for me to transport the sea snake out of country. Do you want to come over, or should I ship it to you?”

“No no, Chu Xian, no need to ship it. We will head to Thailand immediately. Two hours, at most two hours and we will be in Thailand. Where are you exactly?” David hurriedly replied.

“I’m on my way to Bangkok. I’m heading back to China today!” Chu Xian answered.

“Wait for us. We will be there very soon. We’ve been looking for this Hydrophis Cyanocinctus for almost a month now. We can’t have anything happen to it, you have to wait for us!” David immediately said.

“Of course, no problem. I’ll wait for you near the airport in Bangkok. When you get here just give me a call!” Chu Xian nodded.

After arriving in Bangkok, Chu Xian found a hotel near the airport and waited inside.

“En? So fast!” Chu Xian had not been resting in the room for a full two hours when David called.

“How did you get here so quickly? I’m at the Hilton, room 2105. You can come over directly. Okay, okay!”

“It looks like they really are in a hurry!” Chu Xian laughed, and glanced over at the Hydrophis Cyanocinctus beside him.

In less than then minutes, the door bell rang, and Sword Two walked over and opened the door!

“Oh, Chu Xian dear, where is the Hydrophis Cyanocinctus, show us quickly!” David cried out as soon as he entered the room.

“Its all here, David. Since whene did you become so impatient.” Chu Xian walked over and gave him a hug.

“So this is Mr. Chu Xian. Nice to meet you. I am Aiden Cornwall, I am David’s friend. I’ve been the one looking for the Hydrophis Cyanocinctus!”

A young British man followed David into the room and introduced himself in heavily accented Chinese.

“En, nice to meet you!” Chu Xian extended his hand.

“Okay, you guys don’t have to be polite. Brother Chu Xian, Aiden has been looking for this Hydrophis Cyanocinctus all over the place, why don’t you quickly show it to him and assuage his worry!” David patted his shoulder and smiled.

“It’s here.” Chu Xian laughed, and then took them to the living room and pointed at the leather net.

“Yes, it is this one. This is it! The blue-banded sea snake. And it looks over five years old. This is amazing. Yes! Aiden walked over excitedly, his hands trembling.

“That’s good! I had some good fortune and found it by accident!” Chu Xian laughed.

“Brother Chu XIan, I can’t thank you enough! Really, this is perfect!” Aiden Cornwall stood up and excitedly hugged Chu Xian.

“Eh. Mr. Aiden Cornwall, you don’t have to be so enthusiastic.” Chu XIan said with some awkwardness. “David is my friend. I’ve heard that he’s been looking for the Hydrophis Cyanocinctus lately, so I kept my eyes open. There’s no need to thank me!”

“I have to thank you. Brother Chu Xian, you have to know, this thing will save my father’s life. If it weren’t for you, we might not have ever found it. Thank you, thank you!” Aiden Cornwall thanked him again.

“It was no trouble, I didn’t go out of my way!” Chu Xian smiled.

“Thank you so much David!” Aiden Cornwall turned to David as well.

“Haha, Aiden, you don’t need to thank me so much. You know what kind of person I am, and it wasn’t even my work! This is all because of brother Chu Xian’s help. Chu Xian saved my life, and is my lucky star, and he’s always been a forthright and good brother to me. I’m sure you two can become friends!” David laughed and replied.

“Yes, definitely. Chu Xian, you can count me as a friend!” Aiden Cornwall nodded seriously. “And a friend of the Cornwall family!”

“Haha, alright. You need to quickly take the sea snake to help your father. I’ve spent enough time with you, I need to relax a little!” Davie smiled.

“Thank you, brother!” Aiden Cornwall nodded, and bowed towards Chu Xian. “Brother Chu Xian, I am in a hurry so I can’t thank you properly. When my father recovers, I will come see you again!”

“Yes, it was no problem at all!” Chu Xian shook his head.

Chu Xian and David saw Aiden off, and Aiden waved his farewells.

“Brother Chu Xian, I will leave for now!”

To Chu Xian’s astonishment, the car parked at the entrance of the hotel flew British Embassy colors. Six suited guards stood around the car as a middle-aged man opened the car door for Aiden.

“David, who is this Aiden Cornwall? The British Embassy actually sent people to pick him up?”

Chu Xian turned from the waving Aiden and asked David.

“You can tell from his name!” David laughed. “Cornwall, the older dukedom in England and the name of a county. Aiden is the son of the current duke.” *

“Duke?” Chu Xian replied with surprise.

“Not only are they dukes, the Cornwall family has a lot of influence in England, and are quite powerful. They’re also part of the aristocrats with roots that go back hundreds of years!” David explained.

“Tsk tsk, I had no idea!” Chu Xian shook his head in astonishment.

“Brother Chu Xian, Aiden is a guy who knows how to show gratitude. He and I are friends because I helped him once before, and now that you’ve basically saved his father’s life, you will have the friendship of the entire Cornwall family. This will help you a lot in the future!”

“Maybe!” Chu Xian shook his head. However powerful Aiden Cornwall was, his family was in England. It was quite possible that they would not have much contact in the future.

Catching the Hydrophis Cyanocinctus this time was mainly because of his friendship with David.

“Oh that’s right, Brother Chu Xian. Are you still heading back today? Why don’t we look around Thailand together?” David said. “Look, it’s getting dark soon. It’ll be night when you get back to China!”

“Okay, I’ll leave tomorrow morning then.” Chu Xian laughed. “Okay David, where do you want to go? Are you staying in Thailand for a couple of days?”

“No no, I have some more business I need to take care of, and I’ll be leaving for Dubai tomorrow!” David shook his head.

“Oh, let’s go get dinner then. We can try some of the local food here!”

“Sounds good. I’ve only been to Thailand a couple times before. Bangkok is an excellent city. We can have a good time!”

After hanging out with David in Bangkok the entire night, Chu Xian waved farewell and got on a plane back to Hai Qing City.

Chu Xian landed and got off the plane at 10 am, and Xiao Ying was already there waving and waiting.

“Doesn’t school start today? How do you have time come pick me up?” Chu Xian asked as he hugged her.

“It’s not too busy. I got a half day from the department dean!” Xiao Ying laughed. “Na, tell me what gift you brought me?”

“A handbag, limited edition!” Chu Xian laughed, and had Sword Two hand him the gift before he gave it to Xiao Ying. “What do you think, do you like it?”

“Heng, you only know to buy these things. I already have handbags.” Xiao Ying pulled on his hand. “But, none of them are as beautiful as this one!”

Chu Xian smiled and pinched her cheeks. “It’s good as long as you like it. Let’s go!”

“Hehe, have you fixed everything with the company?” Xiao Ying asked

“Yes, everything is going smoothly. I won’t need to go all the way over in the future!”

Chu Xian replied, loping his arm around her waist as they walked out. With Sword Two and a group of suited mermen around them like guards, and with Chu Xian’s imposing manner, he looked like a powerful prince.

When they got back home, Chu Xian admired Xiao Ying’s body that curved in all the right places, and he pulled her over.

“Hateful! Look at you, you dirty pervert!” Afterwards, Xiao Ying rolled her eyes and hit him, before putting her clothes back on.

Chu Xian chuckled naughtily and reached over for his clothes as well. “Let’s eat, and then I’ll take you back to school!”

“It’s so close, you don’t have to send me. You can do your own things!” Xiao Ying shook her head!”

“It’s alright, I’ll drop you off and then head over to the sea tank store. I’m preparing to open one in Jing Hai City in a couple of days.

“En, I will come for the opening day!”

Xiao Ying smiled at him.

Chu Xian nodded. There were over a thousand finished sea tanks stored at the villa, and another centerpiece for a new collection was already finished as well. They only needed the storefront, and they could open for business soon!
