"Well.. I knew that there would be no problem at all! I guess I'll go grab the meats from the butchery." Thought Sun Zhou while he walked away from that spot.

There's nothing interesting after he met that righteous girl who valiantly saved a poor little boy, so he went back to the shop safely.

"Master, this disciple has completed the assignment!" Said Sun Zhou to George.

But George only lazily said. "Well done! Put the ring upstairs and continue watching the store!"

Sun Zhou was baffled by it, he saw George's listless face. Although he was usually very lazy, today he looked like he is not energized at all.

"Umn... Master, what's wrong?"

George sighed and said. "Nothing... I just wondering about something."

"Is that so? Okay then... If you need anything else, just said it to this disciple."

George nodded his head while staring blankly at the ceiling.

Sun Zhou then whispered to Su Ling. "Hey.. What happened to master? Why is he so listless?! Even though he always acted like this, it wasn't to this degree!"

Su Ling shook her head. "I don't know... I just saw him talking to a heated discussion with a few costumers, and when they were done talking... He acted like that. Maybe he was lonely?"

Thinking about it, they decided to take that as a hypothesis. "When you said it like that, maybe it was like that!"

George who has heard what they were whispering about because his cultivation state was higher than these two shopkeepers: "..."

...

"Big sister... How could I eat at such place? It's very big and luxurious!" The little guy gulped down his saliva when he smelt a whole bunch of different aromas of a ton of foods, but when he saw the price, he stuttered "Wh.. What? It- It cost 500 gol- gold coins? It's just a simple stir-fried vegetable! Is big sister really sure to bring me here? It was very expensive!"

The girl only laughed when she looked at this little guy's reactions. "It's very okay! I have a lot of money. Oh... by the way, what's your name? We haven't really introduced oneself! My name is Mao XinYue, you could call me Sister Mao or Big Sister Mao or anything you like!" Mao XinYue smiled sweetly at this little guy.

"My name is Wen Yang." The little guy's saliva suddenly went everywhere, because he was really hungry at the moment and he could smell different kind of delicious food from where he sat. He thought that he could just eat plain rice if he could smell an aroma as stimulating as this and he won't complain about it.

Seeing that, Mao XinYue chuckled. "Ah, What a good name! Could you tell me about your situations?"

"My mother died when she birthed my little sister, so father is the only one who worked for our needs." While this little guy was talking, the foods arrived.

"Well.. Let's talk while we are eating!" She smiled sweetly at Wen Yang. And he nodded and begun eating while he talked about his story.

And then he sighed. "Because my father stressed out, he began to drink alcohol every night and suddenly he also started to gamble. Whenever it was morning or night he never stopped gambling. He was very lucky in the first few games and became addicted to it."

Mao XinYue nodded her head. And he added "But... These past few days, he kept losing and after he gets home, he is always angry at us for no reason. In the end, he ran away from home and never going back!"

"Ah! This chicken is really good! Could I bring it home for my sister?" Wen Yang didn't show any saddened emotions after he told the story. Maybe he thought that it was better to steal things than to get beaten up by his father everyday.

"Of course!" She smiled.

And then Wen Yang told her that he wanted to go out and take a leak. She only smiled and waited for him to come back, but it wasn't like what she was expecting. A bunch of cultivators suddenly surrounded her.

"Is this the b*tch you were saying?"

A guy nodded his head "Yes, It's her who beaten up all of us! Brother Ning needs to avenge us!". It was the same guy who tried to catch Wen Yang earlier.

Mao XinYue snorted. "How did you know I was here?!"

"Of course we know! Because.. you fell into our trap!" The guy suddenly called someone and a certain boy came up to him. And he gave her a guilty look.

"Wen Yang!" She narrowed her eyes. "Y- you!"

The guy laughed to her. "He actually the one who reported you on this restaurant! I just kidnapped his sister and he will have to do what I was saying!"

"D- despicable! I hope you die of horrible death!"

"Well.. Thank you! And I hope you will die naturally on a brothel!" The one who called as Brother Ning laughed loudly. "Men! Catch her and sell her to a brothel!"

"Hmph! You are courting death! Do you think I was going to let you guys catch me?"

All of them rolled their eyes. "Of course you'll do it. Or else... This boy and his sister will die!"

When Wen Yang heard that, he looked very panicked.

She then laughed coldly. "I don't care! He dared to betray his only helper, so why should I help him out... Besides.. I only need him for something else!"

All of them suddenly felt chill on their spine. "Th- This girl isn't good at all! This chilly sensation... She wants to kill us!" All of them thought to themselves.

"Haish! I actually wanted to kidnap a lot of kids to use them as a furnace for my master, but this little boy didn't know what's good for him!" Mao XinYue said to herself. If she said that out loud, it would break her righteous character.
