Recovered

"And you have to cut it this way." Jasmine elegantly showed Galed how to dismantle the rabbit.

Despite, Jasmine explaining beautifully and showing him how to do it easily, he doesn't seem to take it in his heart. Instead, he was thinking of something else. 'I am so useless that I have to learn from my servant. When will I be able to do something?'

Jasmine noticed something wrong with Gale's expression, so she stopped and asked him. "Master, is something wrong?"

Gale came to his senses and looked ahead, just to see Jasmine staring at him curiously. "Uh, I am okay. Just was thinking something else."

This time, she didn't back away with a random assumption. She forcefully asked. "Master, if there is something, just tell me. Don't you trust me?"

"It's..." Gale hesitated as to whether he should say it or not. He thought of her as the only one he knew of in this world and probably had to pass most of the time. He decided to say it. "Is it wrong to be prideful despite being useless?"

Jasmine knew instantly why he was making such a face. It was because she was his servant, and to learn something from her was hitting his pride.

She grabbed hold of his hand and sincerely told him. "Master, it is not wrong to be prideful but that pride should come from your heart, not from your mind or your environment."

Jasmine's words hit him hard, he had built up pride from being Jasmine's master. He felt he was in control of someone's life. And the beating he took he just tossed in his mind as revenge. He didn't know he should have pride for nothing.

But Jasmine still said he should have it because it made him happy and blessed to have someone by his side. He decided he would be prideful but only with an honest heart.

He said this to Jasmine with a heartfelt smile on his face. "Thank you, Jasmine. I am glad I have you."

Jasmine blushed like a tomato hearing that, but seeing his heartfelt smile made her also give a pure smile. "I am happy, Master."

"No, don't call me master anymore. Call me by my name from now. Call me Gale." Gale told to her to change as he didn't find content calling him master anymore.

"Okay, Ga- Gale," Jasmine said it by gathering all of her courage.

"Haha, that's it." Gale laughed, seeing her like that. "Now show me how to dismantle, please."

Jasmine happily showed him the process again while she said something in the middle. "Gale, maybe you have encountered something we cultivators call heart demons. It comes sometimes, but if you are able to get past it, you will gain something in return."

"Something in return, huh?" Gale mumbled to himself.

"Yes, it is a reward from Heaven for passing the test," Jasmine said that and went to resume her explanation.

Gale thought about the system he had and how it would recover shortly. He smiled to himself. "Maybe that is my reward."

Then he carefully remembered every single thing Jasmine did and told him.

On the other side, Greg, who was watching this, couldn't help but say. "It is good to be young."

...

Gradually, one month passed by.

In this one month, Gale was able to master dismantling beast corpses. Jasmine and Greg were shocked when they saw how Gale was able to learn so fast.

Jasmine told him the answer to that. It was mainly because Gale had great comprehension ability. Many cultivators couldn't go further just because they don't have better comprehension abilities.

Gale was confused at first when he heard that. If it was true, then why was his predecessor so useless? After some careful thought, he deduced that it had to be related to the soul. He had reincarnated with his soul and not with his whole body.

And he finally had great news today. It was the beginning of the month, and he would get his first pay.

"Here it is." Greg handed Galed a bulging cloth bag. It seemed like the gold coins inside couldn't be contained with it.

Galed gulped."How much is in there?"

"1200 gold coins." Greg said with a big smile."It is both of yours combined."

"Oh, but still." Gale still couldn't believe it, as he felt it was too much. He felt that because he was really out of touch with money after coming to this world.

"Haha, you guys earned it." Greg gave them praise for their work.

Gale didn't know what to say. He knew that they would get close to eight hundred coins, but he didn't think he would get even much more than that. He wanted to say goodbye to his job after getting that money.

However, with this generous salary, he didn't know if he could say it to his face.

"Kid, I know you are from the Burnheart family, and you guys were born to reach greater heights. I have seen how well you worked here. So, I cannot contain you here. I will say just this: Thank you for working for me." Greg said, with his arms crossed. "And you guys are fired."

Gale bowed his head, and Jasmine followed along with him. "Thank you."

"Okay, leave now. You guys will make me cry." Greg shooed them away.

Greg watched their backs and thought to himself. 'Why do I feel like they will make a big splash in the future? Whatever, let me do my job.'

...

The sun had just settled down, and Gale arrived home with Jasmine.

They took so much time to come home because they went to exchange their gold coins immediately.

Gale took the spirit stones out and gave them to Jasmine. "Jasmine, break these stones one by one and give the core to me fast."

"Okay," Jasmine took one and broke it open with her immense strength.

Crack

The moment it broke, she handed the core to Gale.
