In the desolate forest, a stunningly beautiful young woman appeared, muttering to herself, "Finally, I've taken human form."

Her figure quickly disappeared into the woods.

Bai Bai arrived at a bustling market. She had just taken human form and was in a stage where she was curious about everything. Her eyes lit up with wonder at everything she saw. In addition, her charming appearance attracted many people to stop and stare at her.

Finally, Bai Bai stopped in front of a steamed bun shop.

It smells so good!

The owner of the steamed bun shop opened the top steamer, and the white and tender steamed buns immediately appeared in front of Bai Bai's eyes. She unconsciously swallowed and touched her stomach, really wanting to eat them.

The owner of the steamed bun shop, seeing her attire, didn't think she was someone who couldn't afford it, and asked with a smile, "How many steamed buns would you like, young lady?"

Bai Bai was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I want five." As she spoke, she held out one hand.

The shop owner quickly wrapped up five steamed buns for her. She took the buns and was about to leave with a smile when the shop owner hurriedly called out, "Miss, you haven't paid yet!"

Pay me?

Since gaining consciousness, Bai Bai has no concept of money and doesn't know that you have to pay for steamed buns.

So Bai Bai looked at the steamed bun shop owner with a blank expression, not understanding what he meant.

The steamed bun shop owner sensed something was off; could this girl be mentally challenged?

He runs a small business, so he can't afford to give things away for free.

"Girl, if you don't have money, I can't give you this bun."

Bai Bai asked, "What is money?"

The question was so silly that the owner of the steamed bun shop finally understood; he really was a fool.

In the end, the five steamed bun vendors kept one for her, while the other four vendors had to go back.

She walked along eating a steamed bun, but this incident made her realize that living in the human world required money, and since she had no money, she couldn't eat delicious steamed buns or buy nice clothes...

Thinking about this, Bai Bai felt somewhat disappointed.

She wanted to make money, but she didn't know how.

After finishing her steamed buns, she walked aimlessly down the street with her head down, not watching where she was going, when suddenly, with a "bang," she bumped into someone.

The person who was hit was a woman. She was wearing some kind of perfume, which smelled quite nice. Bai Bai covered his slightly painful face and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Bai Bai was unaware of the accident and didn't even acknowledge hitting the person. The other person was initially about to get angry, but upon seeing Bai Bai's face, their slightly angry expression instantly softened.

"Are you alright, young lady? I'm so sorry, it was all my fault. I wasn't watching where I was going and bumped into you. Did it hurt you? How about I treat you to a meal to make up for it?"

The woman's voice was quite pleasant. Most people would have said it was fine and declined, since the woman was being far too enthusiastic and something seemed off. But Bai Bai didn't understand these things, and when she mentioned inviting him to dinner, Bai Bai immediately nodded.

The woman hadn't expected her to be so naive, agreeing immediately. She thought it was good that she was so innocent.

And so, Bai Bai followed the woman to a restaurant.

The signboard above the restaurant reads "Spring Breeze Pavilion".

They entered the restaurant for nothing, but it was very quiet; there wasn't a single customer inside.

Most people would have thought there was something wrong with the restaurant, but Bai Bai didn't know that; she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"I forgot to ask your name earlier, miss. May I ask what your name is?"

Bai Bai said, "My name is Bai Bai."

in vain?

That doesn't sound like a name!

"My name is Chunniang."

Then Chunniang brought over a large table of food. Bai Bai's eyes lit up when he saw the food. It smelled so good, and he really wanted to eat it. He wished he could eat this every day.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chunniang asked, "Why is Miss Bai all alone?"

Bai Bai: "I was born alone. What's wrong with being alone?"

Of course it's wrong. It's really not right for a young woman to be alone in a foreign place.

Chunniang could also tell that Bai Bai was a bit naive, so she asked more directly, "Where are your parents? How could they let a young girl like you travel alone?"

He looked young, and his appearance and demeanor didn't resemble those of a poor family.

Parents?

Bai Bai has no memory of her parents since she can remember. She is a cat demon who was enlightened by Buddhism and took on a physical form. This process took too long, and her cat parents who gave birth to her were probably already dead when she received the enlightenment.

Thinking this, Bai Bai lowered his head and said, "I think my father is already dead."

The tone was rather nonchalant.

Chunniang was taken aback at first, then delighted, and continued to ask, "Does Miss Bai have any other relatives?"

The construction of the road was tedious and monotonous, and it was a solitary task, so she naturally had no relatives.

Bai shook his head: "No more."

An orphan girl who lost both parents and had no one to rely on, yet she still possessed such outstanding looks and temperament.

A calculating glint flashed in Chunniang's eyes.

"I see that Miss Bai is penniless. This restaurant is mine. Why don't you stay and work for me? I'll pay you wages."

Bai Bai had just eaten a meal with Chun Niang and developed a strong liking for her, so he agreed without hesitation.

When Chunniang saw her nod, her smile widened.

Just agree.

She was afraid that she wouldn't agree.

Then Bai Bai was taken to the backyard of the restaurant by Chun Niang.

The restaurant's backyard was very large. After Bai Bai followed Chun Niang inside, she saw many women in the backyard. These women were dressed very beautifully. When they saw Chun Niang coming over to greet her, they couldn't help but tease Bai Bai, saying, "This girl is so pretty. Where did Sister Chun find her?"

Chunniang smiled and said a few words, but Bai Bai couldn't quite understand what they were saying. She just felt a little strange, but she didn't think much of it.
