"Okay." Cheng Huaijin put the things on the cabinet. "Aunt Fu, where is Grandma Wu? I want to thank her."
Afu waved his hand: "Miss doesn't usually see people. Your room is on the outermost side, so you're unlikely to run into her. We'll talk about it when we do."
“Oh, right,” she added, “Miss said she’s only providing you with a place to stay temporarily. You can discuss what to do when Mr. and Mrs. Wu return.”
"I understand, thank you," Cheng Huaijin said sincerely.
Having a place to stay is good enough; at least she won't be homeless. But even if Grandma Wu really were to throw her out, she would still run back to the Cheng family; she still needs the Cheng family to provide for her!
After all, she's only 13 years old... If she were an ordinary person, she wouldn't be able to find a part-time job at all; no reputable shop would hire a minor. Luckily, she awakened her talent for beast taming, so she can work part-time at shops related to beast taming. But she's so young, and she just awakened her talent; she's genuinely afraid of being kidnapped by bad people.
She had seen the news; there was an organization in this world called "The Hunters," which was extremely vicious and specialized in killing young and promising beast tamers.
...Although she's not particularly capable, what if...? What if she runs into a fight with bad guys and she's done for?
With accommodation sorted out, the remaining question is how to make money.
Cheng Huaijin thanked Aunt Fu and prepared to go to the pet training center to look for a part-time job. As for the supplementary exam… Cheng Huaijin patted Huahua Egg and sighed.
How about saving up for a year to cover tuition before going to school? People under 15 can take the supplementary admission exam...
She doesn't know when the Wu family will return; she can't possibly become a child bride!
Money, money, money! I need so much money!!!
Cheng Huaijin lay paralyzed on the bed, clenching his fists and shouting silently.
Another room.
Sitting in her wheelchair, Wu Yutao gently groomed Teng Yunhe's feathers with a small brush.
"...That's the situation. I think the girl is a very nice person," Afu said respectfully, standing next to Wu Yutao.
Wu Yutao is over 80 years old, but she looks like a lady in her fifties.
Beastmasters and their pets are bound together by life; the pets use their own power to nourish the beastmasters, resulting in long lifespans and a youthful appearance. Wu Yutao achieved fame at a young age, but unfortunately, many accidents caused her life force to rapidly decline, making her look much older than her contemporaries.
Wu Yutao asked gently, "Ayun, what do you think?"
"Yun~" Teng Yunhe's eyes were full of warmth, indicating that the little girl was surrounded by plant elements, so she must have contracted a pet beast with plant attributes.
Wu Yutao understood Teng Yunhe's thoughts. Pets with plant-like attributes are gentle in nature, and Cheng Huaijin must also be a gentle person to be recognized by them.
Humans are far more complex than pets. They can stop at nothing to achieve their goals, while plant-based pets are simple-minded and easily deceived.
Wu Yutao stroked the feathers of the Tengyun Crane and lowered her eyelashes.
The master, the servant, and the beast stood in the large room, none of them speaking.
