"You've grown up, Xiaoyao." Bai Yuejian shed tears of relief.
"Don't look like you're watching your daughter get married! Watch less TV drama!"
"Okay, let's get down to business." The senior sister's expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.
"Junior sister, your idea is right. Only by finding ways to make money can we survive in the world of celestial beings, but we cannot neglect our cultivation either.
The spiritual energy in Tianhai City is almost zero, making it completely unsuitable for cultivation. We don't mind, but Xiaoye can't wait. She's at the age when it's easiest to get started, and I'm afraid delaying her growth by a few years will hinder her growth."
"So what does Senior Sister mean?"
"We don't know when we can return, so we must make long-term plans. First, we must recover our cultivation as quickly as possible; this is fundamental. Second, we also need to develop our own power on Lingyuan Star so that we won't be controlled by others everywhere. Therefore, it is best for us to act separately."
"Senior Sister, I understand! As Xiaoye's master, I will definitely take good care of her..."
"You stay here."
Chu Yao had a bitter face.
"Why?! I want to go out and play too... No, I mean take care of Xiaoye."
"That's why I'm worried about you taking her out! I've already thought about it. Lingyuan Star is so big, it's impossible that the Beishan Mine is the only place suitable for cultivation. I'll take her away in a few days."
"You just wanted to watch the finale of 'Runaway' at the supermarket down the street..."
Senior Sister turned her head away with a serious expression, as if she hadn't heard Chu Yao's words.
——
Three days later, Chu Yao said goodbye to the two outside the city.
Xiao Ye finally agreed. She had no ties left in Tianhai and nowhere else to go. After listening to Chu Yao's story, she also wanted to go out and see the world.
"Oh, everyone is busy. It's better to be busy." Chu Yao was like an elderly widower left behind, and began to think about his next plan.
A faint, pale sunlight streamed down from overhead, casting long shadows across the streets and alleys of the various tall buildings. The sky was gloomy and cold, not only because of Lingyuan Star's unique climate, but also because of the smog from the city's industrial complex.
Chu Yao is now in the dark street area of the eighth ring of Tianhai City.
Not counting the small towns outside the city, the true urban area of Tianhai can be divided into ring roads one through ten. Within the fourth ring road is the central area; ring roads five through seven are civilian areas; and ring roads eight through ten are the lawless dark streets.
The narrow alleys are crisscrossed and intricate, the old walls are covered with graffiti and small advertisements, and the disordered electric wires are tangled into a tangled web overhead.
Describe the haggard drug addict, the homeless man living in a small corner, the heavily made-up streetwalker, the furtive vendor...
The deeper you go, the more people like this you will see.
The Eighth Ring Road and the Seventh Ring Road are only separated by a street, but their appearances are completely different.
The magnificent and beautiful Tianhai City revealed a rotten corner beneath its glossy surface at the edge of the city.
It seems that no matter which civilization, there are always such abandoned people. Even the most advanced ones are no exception.
The basement where Chu Yao and the others had previously taken refuge was located between the seventh and eighth rings. After making the comparison, she felt somewhat emotional, but what emerged in her heart was an inexplicable sense of security.
Since there are still places like dark streets that the law enforcement bureau cannot control, then Yali Company is not completely in control of Lingyuan Star.
She had been cultivating since she was a mortal until now, and had walked through many places similar to dark streets on Fengyuan Star. Although this place was chaotic, for Chu Yao, it was as peaceful as returning home.
Give me time to develop, and I will soar to the sky!
Humph, just wait and see, Senior Sister, I’ll surprise you when you come back…
That being said, Chu Yao was also a little confused. She came to the dark street for another reason.
She is an illegal resident.
Chu Yao tried to find a job within the Seventh Ring Road a few days ago. She had already lowered her requirements very low, but all the bosses got up and walked her out when they heard that she could not produce any identification documents.
Every legitimate citizen of Tianhai carries something called an ID card, which is their identity proof. Chu Yao, an outsider, naturally doesn't have one.
Fortunately, the last boss was kind (?) and suggested that she try the dark streets, where there were no rules.
"Want to buy some discs, miss? Four dollars a disc, three for ten dollars..."
"Don't buy it, don't buy it, go back, go back!" Chu Yao sent away a vendor who approached her with an impatient look on his face.
I can’t buy it even if I want to, I don’t have money!
As she walked, she saw a small restaurant on the corner of a street with a sign hiring handymen:
"Hiring a kitchen helper, no gender, no age limit. 2,000 yuan a month, food and accommodation provided."
Hey, food and accommodation are included, this is great!
She first needs a place to live. She doesn't want to live in that damp basement forever.
Chu Yao pushed open the door and walked in. The owner was a fat middle-aged woman who was lying at the front desk, browsing Feiyu out of boredom, making a lot of noise.
"Fei Yu" is an app for watching short videos, which is available on almost every Tianren's mobile phone.
Chu Yao looked around. The store was very small, with five or six small wooden tables that were old and white, and various posters on the walls.
Small, but not messy, looks very neat.
"What would you like to eat? The menu is on the wall over there, take a look." The aunt looked up and then concentrated on browsing her phone.
"Boss, are you still hiring a kitchen helper? I saw a notice hanging outside the door."
The proprietress was stunned, and finally looked up at Chu Yao seriously, her eyes scanning her back and forth.
"Yes, of course."
The proprietress looked puzzled, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
