Cultivation Goddess
Chapter 8. Become Slave
Fang Yin left the village where the Mao family lived and continued walking down the hill following a path that was not very clear in the dimness of the moonlight that night.
The streets are very quiet and far from residential areas. Fang Yin continued to walk until the path he had walked met with a big road even though it was equally lonely. At this road meeting, Fang Yin stood for a moment to determine the direction to the right or to the left.
His heart was worried and confused to make his choice. As Fang Yin looked down, he thought of something. He looked at the weeds growing in the middle of the road that he could make clues to.
Fang Yin sat crouched down in the middle of the street then observed the grass in front of him. The grass is leaning towards the left, which means that part of the train or cart through it is coming from the right. People only used carriages or carts for very long journeys, from here Fang Yin concluded if the resident settlements were in the right direction.
On his journey this time Fang Yin hoped to find a person who could take him in a better direction. At least he had a place to stay until he was able to stand alone to avenge him. Gratitude-gratitude he could continue to develop and become a strong cultivator capable of shaking the world.
The grudge and heartache of slander and cruelty incised by Emperor Ning and his allies, made Fang Yin have a strong will to continue fighting even though he now had no family anymore.
After choosing which path he would take, Fang Yin again walked down the deserted streets in the dark of the night.
Sometimes he stopped to relax his tired leg muscles after walking for a long time.
Fang Yin's eyes sparkled happily when he saw the houses of the residents starting to look and line up in the distance. Fang Yin accelerated his pace to reach that place. The atmosphere of the village is still quiet because the time is about to pass through the night.
Drowsiness began to make Fang Yin's body lose its balance. Fang Yin ventured to sit on the terrace of the smallest cabin. According to him, people from the bottom will be more sincere and caring than the rich.
Not long after, Fang Yin fell asleep without waiting for a long time. Tiredness made him not care about the bite of a mosquito that ganged on him. Without realizing it, time rolled so fast and did not feel the morning began to dawn.
From a distance, four men walked up to the cottage where Fang Yin was staying without permission. They were seen walking in a hurry to get there. If you look at the faces of the four people were less friendly and impressed sangar.
When they reached the courtyard of the little hut, they were slightly surprised by Fang Yin's existence.
"Sir, who is this little girl?" ask one of the herds.
"I don't know either" replied the person who had a slightly different appearance to his three friends.
The four people did not dare to approach and thought that Fang Yin was already lifeless from not being distracted by their whispers.
Fang Yin's extremely sharp hearing, made him able to hear their footsteps before they got there. Fang Yin only pretended to still be asleep because he did not want to make a ruckus that disturbed the tranquility of the house occupants. In view of his actions, the four of them were not good and less ethical people. How not, they come to see you early in the morning.
"What should we do, sir?" ask one of the others.
"We'll just knock the door. If not, they will definitely run away again and we do not know where to look for them" said the person in question.
"You're right, sir."
The three of them came forward and approached the door of the little hut.
Fang Yin squinted his eyes to see what they were going to do. It seemed like these four people knew that he was not a family member of the owner of this lodge. This is proven by those who do not disturb themselves who are asleep.
"Zao! Ling! Come outside!" shouted the person who looked the most sinister among the four people.
Fang Yin continued to analyze from their movements to measure the level to how much cultivation they had. Among the four, only people whose appearance was different only had higher cultivation compared to the others. He was in the early stage sky realm. However, the speed of movement and the level of physical endurance are still far from decent for that level.
The three bodyguards of different-looking people kept shouting and banging on the door.
Fang Yin was forced to not be able to pretend to sleep anymore if he did not want to be said to be deaf. He slowly sat down and acted as if he had just woken up after hearing the commotion. In order to outwit the four men, Fang Yin kept trying to calm down and become like a foolish little girl.
Finally from inside the cottage came a young husband and wife with a distinctive appearance of waking up.
"Eh, Young Master Yu. We visited early in the morning in our hut. Please come in!" greet Ling Ling making small talk.
"No need to twist! Pay your debt! Or you I kill!" squeal at the person called Young Master Yu earlier.
The face of the couple became pale.
"I've given you many opportunities but you still don't pay! Guards, finish them off!" Young Master Yu turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
The three bodyguards of Young Master Yu dragged Zhao and Ling Ling into the courtyard while hitting and kicking the bodies of the two of them.
Fang Yin could not bear to see that scene in front of him. It could be that the three people were oppressing the weak and helpless. The couple looked battered in an instant.
"Stop! I have some gold coins. Take it!" Fang Yin threw towards Young Master Yu.
The man smiled after getting what he wanted. While Zhao and Ling Ling felt surprised by the existence of the veiled girl in his house. However, whoever he was, Zhao and Ling Ling were happy to be free from Young Master Yu's rampage.
"But this is not enough, little girl. It still took another 100 gold coins to pay their debts." Young Master Yu smiled happily as he cradled the bag of money Fang Yin had given him.
"What?!" Fang Yin's eyes widened.
'It turns out that loan sharks have also existed in this ancient era.' murmured Fang Yin inwardly.
"Give us a little more time, Young Master. We'll figure out a way to pay it off." Zhao again begged on his knees at Young Master Yu's feet.
Young Master Yu thought for a moment to weigh in.
"I will take your wife and sell her to a place of entertainment, and your debt will be paid off. Guards, take this woman!" exclaim Young Master Yu.
Ling Ling was crying so much that she bemoaned her unfortunate fate.
"No, Mister. Please don't take him. I'll try to pay it off as soon as possible."
"I'm sick of your excuses. You will escape as you have. I want your debt paid off today too!" yu Young Master's cry began to lose patience.
"How about you just take this girl, sir?" Zhao pointed towards Fang Yin.
Fang Yin was wide-eyed to hear the words of the person he was helping. Really don't know the return of the favor. Instead of thanking him, the man wanted to sell Fang Yin as a debt payer.
"This girl's appearance is not attractive. Maybe he's fit to be sold as a slave. Well, besides your wife has also been battered so where anyone would like to glance at her. Guards, take this girl!" exclaim Young Master Yu.
Actually, it could have been Fang Yin fighting them. However, that would make things even more chaotic. Perhaps this was too naive, but Fang Yin still hoped that he would meet a good person after this.
"Young Master. Wouldn't you be generous adding money to us. At least this girl is worth more than 100 gold coins" Zhao said asking for an additional price for a Fang Yin.
Fang Yin grew even more furious with the man in front of him.
"Basic gambler! Surely your hands are already itching if you don't hold the money!" Young Master Yu threw 10 gold coins and a handful of silver coins that were somehow in number.
Zhao smiled widely while picking up the money aided by Ling Ling.
"Thank you, Mister. May you live long!"
The existence of Fang Yin in his house brought good luck to him. He was free of his debt and had enough capital to gamble again. The pair of gamblers was like a durian crucifixion collapsing in the morning blind.
Fang Yin looked at them hatefully before going to follow the four people who had bought him. He did not expect that his fate would be like this. Fang Yin had always lived in a palace environment and was clueless with the cruel outside world. Similarly, Agata is also not accustomed to socializing with the community because he had to work to help his grandmother to earn a livelihood as a healer before he became a doctor.
"Where are you taking me?" fang Yin asked on her way.
"You better shut up and come! Don't ask too many questions, little boy!" exclaimed one of Young Master Yu's bodyguards flanking him.
