Straw@hat publication ; Chapter - 7 : Wang Rong :;
"All the shopping is done but now I only have 5 silver remaining." Su Yin was nagging while passing through the market place , but soon he saw something which attracted him.
" Oh it is actually a carrot martial spirit." He looked at a small stall, the stall was only selling carrots and he saw a thin girl around 10 years of age making them to set at the stall.
It is said that the food produced by soul masters is more delicious than their counterparts in reality and it is also refreshing as it is made of soul power. He was interested so went to the stall.
" How much for a carrot ? " Su Yin asked.
The girl looked at him and was startled what was a rich kid doing at her stall. But soon came out of daze and replied " 1 copper per carrot, as you can see it is a martial spirit so the price is higher than normal one's "
Su yin looked at her with curiousity , she looked malnourished, had tattered clothes and was selling martial spirit carrots.
" Oh are you a soul master ? " He asked her.
The girls face became bitter and replied " no I am not " .
Su Yin " what is your name ? And are you looking for work ? It doesn't look like your carrot buisness is doing any good " .
The girl looked at him weirdly and thought " what is the problem with this kid , he acts like some mature person, anyway what about finding jobs ".
" I don't tell customers my name , if you want to buy then dk so quickly " she replied.
Su Yin took out a copper coin and gave it to her " give me one to taste first" he picked up a carrot and took a bite.
" Oh, as expected from food made of soul power , it is atleast two times more tasty then normal carrots. And also it melts into energy in the mouth, helping me to recover some fatigue" Su Yin fell into thoughts although the effect was not that much but still food capable of recovering even a little bit of soul power should be much popular among normal people.
Then he again looked at the girl , it seemed she was not good at buisness.
" I am starting my restaurant tomorrow why don't you work for me , I will pay you good salary . After work you can even continue your little buisness here." He asked .
" Do you think I am a fool what restaurant can you kid run , and even if you manage to run one donot you think other people will bully and rob from a little kid easily " the girl said angrily.
Su Yin " Hey , little girl why are you getting all worked up , see the bag of things behind me these are all ingredients for my shop and if someone looks for trouble i dont mind teaching them lesson," .
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
He then continued" I am a soul master and I have completed my admission at the Notting academy today , let me see who is blund enough to provoke the Notting academy here " He made a proud face while saying.
" Who are you calling a little girl , " she said in an irritated tone . But then soon her face saddened and she was about to cry.
Su Yin was dumbfounded " what the hell did little girl became such a bad word all of a sudden to make people cry " he thought.
" Okay, okay donot make that crying face , now say do you agree with the job. I am in need of people with food martial soul" Su Yin changed the subject and asked.
" Are you telling the truth? " After knowing that he was the student of Notting academy she now believed him he also had the certificate of admission.
" Yes , What is your name and where do you live after all I should know about my employees " he asked.
The girl replied" My name is Wang Rong and I live here in the stall I don't have a home in the city "
Su Yin was shocked " You don't even have a home and you are living here in this broken stall. " His expression showed signs of pity.
Wang Rong saw it and replied hastily " Donot look down on me, I have a home in my village and I also was birn with soul power. So I can live here without any discomfort " .
" What you have innate soul power so what are you doing here selling carrots" Su Yin asked.
Then after talking to her for sometime he came to know that . She was born with 2 levels of soul power and her family sent her here to study as the work student but she lost her Wuhun Temple proof and was chased away by the guards at the academy.
So she was staying here afraid to go home alone and disappoint her parents and villagers. It could be seen that her willpower was strong.
He looked at her she was not too pretty but her face was attractive and if she was in good health she can be quite beautiful, so he had an idea "Why don't you become my personal maid, I will invite you to live at my home and also give you tasty food , you just have to take care of daily chores. And let me tell you I am also going to buy a very fast cultivation technique in future, if you agree I will also let you practice it".
He needed someone to maintain the home afterall, so he decided to help her and get helped by her on the way.
Wang Rong became angry " Do you want people to become a maid. I can love the way I am from last 4 years on my own without working for some little kid. "
Su Yin smiled " You can live like that but, don't you want to become a soul master and make your family proud. By following me you have a chance, or do you want to hide from them for the rest of your life" .
Hearing it Wang Ring's face became dark again after all sge missed her parents and wanted to meet them " Will you really give me cultivation method to practice " her tone was serious. After all without a cultivation technique she cannot practice and was still stuck at level 2 for the last 4 years making her cry at depressed times.
Now if she had a chance to change it she can work as a maid too, was she afraid of little work. And this kid didn't seemed normal, he was younger then her but was mature than her and also looked rich she coul sense he was telling the truth.
" Okay , I agree but if I don't like the work I will leave immediately" she decided to go with it.
Su Yin was happy he was thinking of some dishes made of carrot he hit a jackpot today " Okay pick up your things and lets go to home "
One could see some excitement in Wang Rong's eyes finally she didn't have to sleep on the street. She was a Little girl after all despite being mature at such a young age she too wanted a good life.
Su Yin looked at her and smiled " Lets go get something good to wear for you first , you don't want to scare away the customers with these tattered clothes after all "
Wang Rong felt a little ashamed of her clothes" I will pay for them myself " she had some pride after all.
Su Yin said " donot worry I can handle that after all I don't want to degrade the level of my restaurant" .
Finally they reached at the restaurant building and settled in in their respective rooms. The remaining 5 silver coins were spent on buying two beautiful dresses for Wang Rong.
She was shocked, she didn't even earn 5 silver in a month and now Su Yin spent them for just two dresses. But she was excited too after all the dresses were too beautiful, she never thought of wearing such good clothes.
