Chapter 51: Uncle Barad (Bonus)

The man approached with a purposeful stride, his heavy footsteps echoing through the room. He settled beside Aunt Ya on the sofa, his movements confident and fluid. As he sat, he placed his hands on either side of him, claiming the space with a sense of quiet authority.

One hand, however, wandered to Aunt Ya's shoulder, where it came to rest with a gentle possessiveness, conveying a sense of comfort and familiarity.

The man's gaze shifted towards Ye Yang, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he asked, "And who might this young fellow be?" His voice was deep, warm and welcoming, with a hint of curiosity.

Ye Yang's gaze met the man's, taking in his imposing figure. He stood at an impressive 7ft tall, his tan skin a testament to his time spent under the sun. His shaved head accentuated his strong facial features, while his thick, well-groomed moustache added a touch of rugged sophistication.

But it was his physique and aura that truly commanded attention - broad shoulders, a chiselled torso, and an unmistakable air of confidence and authority, all of which screamed "leader" and "warrior".

Aunt Ya's voice broke the silence, warm and gentle. "Ah, dear, this is Yu Mei's son, Ye Yang. I've told you about him before, and you've already met his mother when we departed years ago." She smiled, her eyes sparkling with fondness as she made the introduction.

Aunt Ya's husband's eyes roved over Ye Yang, his brow furrowing in interest. "Ah, you're the son of Yu Mei, that fierce and fearless woman?" He lifted an eyebrow, his voice tinged with a hint of amusement and intrigue.

Aunt Ya's tone was playful, yet slightly scolding, Aah, honey, you're still stuck in the past, aren't you? You teased her mercilessly back then, and chased after her without realizing she was already married to someone." She chuckled, her eyes shining with amusement, as she recalled the incident.

"I still remember the shock on your face when you discovered she was married! You were so smitten, so sure of yourself... it was almost endearing."

The man pulled Aunt Ya close, his eyes twinkling with mischief, "Aah, if not for that, how would I have met you, my dear wife?" He teased, his voice low and husky, as he recalled the past.

Aunt Ya's face flushed with a gentle blush, remembering the day Yu Mei had kicked him low blow, and how she had rushed to his aid, feeling sorry for him. Little did she know, that moment would change everything, and they would become inseparable, their bond growing stronger with each passing day.

Both of them burst out laughing, their joyous "ha-ha-ha-ha" filling the air as they revealed in the fond memory.

Meanwhile, Ye Yang watched the happy couple with a warm smile, observing how they were lost in their own little world, reminiscing about the past. Their eyes sparkled with happiness, their faces aglow with the tender glow of nostalgia, as they relived the moments that had brought them together.

Ye Yang spoke up, his voice clear and respectful, "Escort Head, I bring a message from the First Elder." He announced, his tone formal and dignified, as he conveyed the importance of the communication.

The man's eyes shifted from his wife to Ye Yang, his expression turning serious as he asked, "What news?" His voice was low and even, with a hint of urgency, as if sensing that the message might be important.

Ye Yang replied, "Nothing serious, but important nonetheless. Our delegation is heading to the Spirit Fairy Sect to escort my sister and some esteemed members of her sect back to our lands. We're scheduled to depart at sunrise, which is just a few hours from now. The First Elder wants the escort agency to be fully prepared beforehand."

The man nodded, a hint of a smile on his face, "I've already received her letter and we've been preparing for this moment. Rest assured, the escort agency is ready and waiting. We'll be good to go as soon as the delegation is ready to depart."

Ye Yang's eyes lit up with a smile, his expression reflecting his surprise and admiration for the escort agency's promptness. "Thank you, Escort Head," he said, his tone sincere and appreciative.

The man's expression softened, his voice taking on a gentle tone. "If you're that woman's son, then stop addressing me as Escort Head. From now on, you'll call me Uncle Barad. We're family, after all."

"Barad hails from Mystara, the Beast Continent, where he was born to a human and a beast, making him a unique mix of both. His name and physique reflect his exotic heritage."

He was truly impressed by escort agency's efficiency and speed. "You've exceeded my expectations."

Aunt Ya's face radiated warmth as she smiled, "Yang, he's one of the finest in the work, but when it comes to paperwork, he's a bit...lost." She chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

"So, I lend a hand with that. But when it comes to escorting, he's unparalleled. If he's number two, then no one would dare claim the top spot across the entire continent." Her praise was genuine, her voice filled with pride and admiration for her husband's exceptional skills.

Hell chuckled, "I'm sure his dragon is impressive, maybe 7 or 8 inches long." He teased, insinuating that the man's prowess extended beyond his escorting skills. "She's clearly smitten with him, no question about that."

Ye Yang tactfully ignored Hell's teasing remark and instead turned to Aunt Ya with a warm smile. "Aunt Ya, it's wonderful to see you back! I've missed you." He then turned to Uncle Barad, making an effort to pronounce the unfamiliar name correctly. "And nice to meet you, Uncle... Ba-rad?" He hesitated slightly, unsure if he got it quite right.

Barad let out a hearty laugh, his deep voice booming with amusement. "Ha-ha-ha-ha! No need to thank me, lad! It's all part of my job, and I enjoy doing it."

Aunt Ya's voice was tinged with a mix of nostalgia and interest. "So, Yang, how is your mother doing? What has she been up to all these years? I've often thought about her and wondered how life has been treating her."

Ye Yang smiled, "She's doing well, Aunt Ya. You should come visit her sometime." As he responded, Ye Yang's mind suddenly flashed back to his original intention, He had become so swept up in the joy of reuniting with Aunt Ya and with the quest given by first elder that he had momentarily lost sight of his purpose.

Now, his mind refocused on the journey ahead, and he felt a surge of resolve to find out if his mother was okay.
