Chapter 11 Chapter 11 "Let's just say she seduced the boss."...
Yao Ning paid for the damaged table and ate his meal as usual amidst the strange looks from everyone in the restaurant before leaving.
She didn't have much money left, so she didn't stay any longer and headed towards Zhongzezhou.
The Central Realm is located in the very center of the Nine Continents, coinciding with the Demon Realm King's capital. The two are like the yin and yang sides of a mountain; horizontally, they appear to be a single point, but in reality, they each follow their own path and do not interfere with each other.
The evil spirit was directed at her, nearly killing her, and she had to avenge it. However, since that incident in the village, the other party had been unable to strike her, and seemed to have temporarily subsided.
Since the other party was hiding, Yao Ning went to find it.
Anyone who can suppress her to such a strength must be an extraordinary person in the Demon Realm. Zhong is close to the Demon Realm Capital, so he can go anywhere right. Moreover, the other party may attack her a second time on the way.
Yao Ning made a note of what he would do in the future.
First, revenge.
What happens after revenge? What if the person behind the scenes calls it quits?
Yao Ning thought seriously and suddenly realized that he had been a member of the Xuanqing Sect since he was six years old. Since then, apart from cultivation, his life has been full of worries.
Yao Ning sighed, somewhat self-deprecatingly.
But fortunately, in addition to Shen Qian, she also has a passion for cultivation.
The feeling of breaking through the mortal body and possessing overwhelming power always makes her heart surge.
In addition to Shen Qian, she also likes to be strong.
Second, practice and become stronger.
The second one can last for the rest of her life. She can practice and become stronger while seeing the scenery of Jiuzhou and eating some delicious food. No matter whether he loses his wife or remarries, it has nothing to do with her from now on.
With the goal set, Yao Ning felt much calmer. He no longer cared about Fairy Yaoguang and went to Zhongze happily.
Sometimes using magic, sometimes walking, it took Yao Ning three days to finally reach Zhongze.
The money in my pocket was finally gone.
The center is very prosperous and wealthy, with majestic and ancient buildings and intricately carved details. The tall buildings on the street seem to have stood for many years, bearing the marks of time.
Yao Ning can go on a fast, but perhaps because of her childhood experiences, she is still used to eating.
Yao Ning squatted on the street corner, thinking about where to make money next.
Someone passed by, glanced at her, and snorted coldly, with a bit of disgust and disdain.
After a crisp sound, a copper coin appeared in the bowl of the beggar next to him.
Yao Ning didn't care, but copper coins fell one after another into the bowl next to her, and she realized something belatedly.
The disheveled beggar grinned at her and said, "Thank you so much! With you by my side, everyone feels much more pitiful for me."
Yao Ning: “…”
Before dusk, the beggar finished his work with satisfaction. He kindly gave Yao Ning two copper coins, held up two fingers, and said sympathetically, "It can buy two steamed buns."
Yao Ning smiled and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for your kindness."
The beggar left, and Yao Ning was about to take the copper coins to buy steamed buns, when suddenly a person stopped in front of him.
The first thing that catches the eye is a piece of green brocade robe corner with embroidered green bamboo on it, which is rich yet elegant.
Yao Ning raised his head and met a pair of phoenix eyes.
The corners of his eyes are upturned, noble and majestic, with a natural aura of superiority.
But the phoenix eyes disappeared in a flash, and then returned to a pair of ordinary small eyes. Yao Ning blinked, suspecting that he had seen it wrong.
The man looked her down for a moment and asked, "Need some money?"
Yao Ning: "Yes."
"Can you sweep the floor?"
"I can do it."
"Twenty coppers a day, come?"
Yao Ning stood up and looked at the man.
She was dressed elegantly and luxuriously, but her appearance was quite ordinary, the kind you would forget in a blink of an eye. But what if she had those phoenix eyes?
Then it will instantly shine brightly and you cannot look at it directly.
Inexplicably, Yao Ning felt that there was something wrong with this person. Thinking of the demonic energy that had severely injured him, he had just stepped into the territory of Zhongzezhou when such an obviously strange person appeared.
Yao Ning raised his eyebrows: "Come."
The man then took Yao Ning away.
He said his surname was Chen and he was the owner of a teahouse.
Yao Ning restrained his spiritual power, pretended to have no cultivation, and followed Boss Chen to his teahouse.
It was an ordinary three-story wooden building in the city. The location was neither too remote nor too good. The building was neither new nor old. There was a plaque hanging on the door with the three words "Xizhou Pavilion" written on it. The handwriting was neat, but there was nothing special about it.
Apart from the word "Xizhou" which is slightly worth remembering, other places are as ordinary and mediocre as Boss Chen, leaving no vivid memories.
Yao Ning was looking up at the plaque when suddenly a figure flashed by on the second floor. Through the gap in the window, Yao Ning could only see a little bit of layered and complicated clothes and bright red nail polish on the person's fingers as thin as scallions.
Boss Chen handed her over to the manager without saying much, only asking her name when leaving.
"Ayao."
"Ayao? Female Zhaoyao?"
Yao Ning was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Ayao, right? Let me tell you about your assignment." The manager was a powerful figure in Xizhou Pavilion. He was obviously a little impatient with Yao Ning and roughly explained the content of the assignment.
Yao Ning wrote down everything. Finally, the steward said solemnly: "Rest during the day and work at night."
Yao Ning was puzzled: "Why?"
The manager's eyebrows shot up, and his voice became a little louder: "Just do it when I tell you to. Why are you asking so many questions?"
She left cursing, and Yao Ning could only vaguely hear words like "women are useless", "I'm afraid he wants to use her himself", and "little bitch".
The words were unbearable, and Yao Ning felt a little angry.
Xizhou Pavilion is a three-story building. It doesn’t look big, but when you actually go to clean it you realize how tiring it is.
At dusk, Yao Ning began sweeping and mopping the floor, working until the rooster crowed the next morning to finish. Without spiritual power, working as a mortal, his body ached all night, and his clothes were almost completely soaked with sweat.
She felt that some kind of magic must have been used here, perhaps to hide part of the space or fold the venue.
A few nights later, Yao Ning measured it based on his feeling and found that it was about the size of a Wendao Peak.
It was such a large venue, but she was the only one assigned to clean it.
Yao Ning felt that the man surnamed Chen was not only problematic, but also treacherous.
The venue was secondary. What made Yao Ning feel even more strange was the way Xizhouguan, this so-called teahouse, treated guests.
The shop opens at night and closes at dawn.
There were dozens of people working with her, including managers, accountants, cooks, maids, and purchasing agents, but there was no tea doctor.
The guests were all men. When they arrived, a servant would lead them to an empty room that was luxuriously and fully furnished. After that, there was no sound and no one was allowed to come in or out at will. This would take half an hour or a whole night, and they would come out one after another.
The lights were extremely dim. There were only two old lanterns hanging on the first floor, and the weak light could only illuminate the silhouettes of people. Large areas of thick darkness stretched across the place. If someone who didn't know what was going on, they would probably think they had entered a ghost house.
Yao Ning was alert, waiting for Boss Chen, or the person behind him, to reveal his true identity.
But after working like this for more than ten days, nothing happened.
But Yao Ning didn't feel well.
It's not the uneasiness of a powerful enemy lurking around, but the subtle malice of the people here, or rather, these people.
The steward liked to scold her, especially when all the servants were present.
"Ayao, this place isn't clean!"
"Ayao, your meal has gone to the dog's stomach. Try harder!"
"Idiot! You can't even do such a small thing? Sweep it again!"
Yao Ning restrained his spiritual energy and could only use his mortal body to deal with the increasingly unbridled challenges. Even if a cultivator was physically strong, without using any spiritual energy, it would be difficult to endure such non-stop, high-intensity labor.
The wages she kept in the dormitory were always missing, no matter if she hid them in a locked cabinet or stuffed them under the quilt. Later, Yao Ning imitated them and sewed a purse to hold the money, hanging it around her waist, thus avoiding theft.
When she was mopping the floor, maids often stepped on her hands.
"Oh Yao, I'm so sorry, I didn't see it."
"What more did you say to her? She looked so flirty. She must have seduced the boss. Didn't you see how her waist was twisting when she was talking to the boss today?"
When they were walking through a dim place, a servant who passed by her wanted to touch her, but she dodged him.
Someone approached her unwillingly and said, "Sleep with your brother, and I'll give you all my wages for today."
These are all mortals, genuine goods. Yao Ning can turn them into ashes by just raising a finger, but cultivators cannot kill mortals at will.
She thought she was too lazy to pretend anymore, so she showed off her skills and beat up Boss Chen. If the person behind the scenes showed up, they would beat him together, and if he didn't show up, they would leave.
But wouldn't it be too rash to give up the plan easily just because of the minor troubles of ordinary people?
If I were to be with Chen Qianzai, would I think that I was impetuous, spoiled and unable to endure hardship?
Yao Ning didn't feel bitter, she was just angry. Faced with such malice, she felt disgusted.
When she just left Xuanqing Sect, her money was stolen by Adu Baisu one after another. Perhaps because she had not yet fully entered the world, she actually found it novel.
But at this moment, in a closed environment, working day and night, choosing to hide her identity as a cultivator and survive as an ordinary person, these malicious intentions, neither light nor heavy, made her feel sick to her stomach.
Is this the human world? Is this the world?
She had experienced this before, but she was very young at that time and she deliberately forgot it. Later, she lived in Xuanqing Sect for so many years. The elders were kind, the fellow disciples were friendly, and the younger generations respected her. The greatest suffering she had endured was probably that she could not get the love of Chen Qian.
The sect leader said that she could practice the Yangyan Heart Method to the extreme and unleash the power to destroy the world, but she could not practice it to the fullest extent and could only reach half of it.
At that time, the sect leader said, maybe you can go down the mountain and take a look at the shadows under the sun.
Since Chen Qian did not go down the mountain, Yao Ning did not go down either.
Now she is at the foot of the mountain.
She was a powerful being in the out-of-body stage, yet she was stumped by a few mortals.
Yao Ning threw the rag into the bucket, sat down on the floor, and said to Boss Chen who was passing by: "They bullied me."
Boss Chen didn't even look at her: "Just work hard. When you have more experience, you won't have to do the dirtiest and most tiring work, and fewer people will bully you."
Yao Ning sneered: "You don't care?"
Boss Chen was very surprised: "Do I have to teach my servant who I have employed for many years a lesson just because of you, a sweeper?"
After Boss Chen left, some people whispered, "Just say she seduced the boss."
"It doesn't matter who you sell it to."
Yao Ning had no expression on his face.
When someone tried to touch her again in the dim light, she broke the person's arm with brute force.
The screams attracted the entire Xizhou Pavilion's servants. Some guests were disturbed and left in panic. Boss Chen was furious and deducted five years' wages from her.
"I've only been here ten days."
"Then work for me for five full years! Otherwise, do you think you can afford to compensate me for my losses?" Boss Chen said viciously and walked away.
Yao Ning turned around, and the servants subconsciously took a step back, looking at her with a bit of fear, and a look of arrogant surprise that they themselves were not aware of.
Yao Ning was too lazy to put herself in a difficult position any longer. What were Chen Qian's opinions and plans? Was she crazy enough to run to such a place and suffer such inexplicable harassment?
But she didn't expect that half a minute later, she changed her mind.
