Cultivation Goddess
Chapter 9. Stealing the Heart of the Master
Young Master Yu went to take Fang Yin away to a luxurious looking villa. The villa was at the end of the settlement and was most prominent among the other villas. Above the villa door is written the nameplate of the villa owner surnamed Xi.
The Xi family adjutant immediately ran inside to notify Young Master Yu's arrival.
Fang Yin wished that he would have a better fate after being detached from the hand of the loan shark that took him now.
After waiting for a few moments, the aide came back and asked the five of them to enter the villa.
They walk through parks and courtyards surrounded by lodges connected to each other. In the middle of the courtyard there is also a connecting corridor in the middle of which there is a small podok without walls. There was only a table and a few small chairs.
Fang Yin continued to look around. He secretly admired the beauty of the buildings throughout the villa. When in modern plural there is such a building must have become a cultural reserve that is crowded visited by many tourists.
The magnificent building looked deserted, it seemed that not many lived in the villa. Or maybe they went outside. Fang Yin only met a few male and female servants who were working alone until they reached a hut that was the largest.
Inside the hut stood a middle-aged man who looked dashing and full of authority. Fang Yin felt an extremely powerful energy aura from his body. If he did not guess wrongly, the man was a cultivator who was at the Sky Bitang level above 5.
"Greetings, Mr. Xi." Young Master Yu fused his fist and left palm in front of his chest.
"Peace to you, Mr. Yu. There's a wind what brings you here early in the morning."
Young Master Yu gestured for Fang Yin to advance forward parallel to his position.
Fang Yin just according. There was no point in him rebelling, right now the strength he had was unable to defeat all of them. Fang Yin did not want to die silly before his grudge was avenged.
"I have a slave, Sir. Didn't you look for a female servant some time ago because many of the Master's servants have retired?" Young Master Yu offered Fang Yin to Master Xi Liang.
That person called Mr. Xi was observing Fang Yin from top to bottom meticulously.
Fang Yin's heart skipped a beat, hopefully the reaction of the pill he swallowed last night has not disappeared. Fang Yin swallowed a pill that was able to hide the cultivation realm and the energy flowing in his body from leaking. Fang Yin's body let out a cold sweat for fear that Master Xi would find out.
"He's still a kid. Then why is his face covered like that?" Master Xi watched Fang Yin's face that was looking down in fear.
"Sorry Mister. I just bought it from someone else. Let me ask him."
Young Master Yu turned to look at Fang Yin.
"Heh, you! Why are you covering your face. Let's open it up!" hardik Young Master Yu.
"My face is very bad and has a disability. Are you sure to see it? Don't blame me if after this you lose your appetite after seeing it." Fang Yin held onto his veil and pretended to be preparing to untie his strap.
"No... No need to be removed!" exclaim Mr Xi.
Fang Yin smiled triumphantly behind his veil.
"How much do you offer me?" ask Mr. Xi.
"Just two hundred and fifty gold pieces, sir."
Fang Yin's eyes widened. Young Master Yu is indeed a leech. To Zhao he said that Fang Yin was only worth a hundred gold pieces and now he sold them at a profit of one hundred and fifty percent. Only this time did Fang Yin know there was this kind of practice in society.
"That's too expensive for a size of children who are not yet experienced at work. How about two hundred gold pieces?" haggard Mr. Xi.
"Add a little Sir. Give me a little profit!" Young Master Yu had yet to release Fang Yin for two hundred gold pieces even though he had already earned a hundred percent profit if the previous value of Fang Yin was only a hundred gold pieces.
"You are indeed good at trading Mr. Yu. All right, I'll make you a final offer. I'll take it if you want to receive two hundred and twenty gold pieces from me, otherwise you can offer them in the slave market."
"Don't talk like Mr. Xi. I don't want to disappoint you, sir. Alright I give this slave the last price Sir. Well, even though I didn't make a profit it wasn't a problem. For our friendship."
Fang Yin felt sick of hearing Young Master Yu's boast. He's really very good at talking and is an excellent sycophant. Apparently a strong person like Mr. Xi could still be eaten by his sweet mouth.
After the deal happened, Mr. Xi asked his bodyguards to count the amount of money they had agreed to then hand it over to Young Master Yu.
Young Master Yu and his three bodyguards immediately left Mr. Xi's villa after receiving the money. In his heart he cheered. This morning he made multiple profits.
After Young Master Yu's departure, Fang Yin was immediately asked to work with the other servants. There were five female servants who looked more mature than him and four male servants. That did not include the bodyguards of Mr. Xi whom he had not known the number.
The five female servants were being extremely rude to Fang Yin. They look arbitrarily at the new servant by giving him a lot of work. Fang Yin was also fed only once in the afternoon. It was fortunate that Fang Yin had a pill that could increase his strength. He secretly took it from his storage ring and hurriedly drank it.
The night returned, Fang Yin was given a room located in a cottage directly adjacent to the stables. Luckily the cage was so clean that it did not cause an odor that could interfere with his sense of smell. Narrow room with a floor made of wood, without any mattress or furniture there.
Before going to bed, Fang Yin cleaned the room full of the cobwebs first. His body that had been bathing was sweating again. Fang Yin closed the door of his room then locked it from the inside because he wanted to cultivate and did not want anyone to disturb him.
The day after day that Fang Yin lived in the villa was filled with torment. It was not his employer who did that but other servants who embraced seniority. Senior is everything and juniors deserve to be bullied.
Almost all the work was left to Fang Yin. In Fang Yin's heart was eager to rebel but he paused it. Fang Yin took on the positives where all the work became an exercise to strengthen his physique. He did not care if the senior servant who always got the praise of the nyoya house that he knew named Ning Xia for all the work he did.
Mr. Xi Liang and Ning Xia had a son named Xi Jian who was seven years old.
Once, Xi Jian was stricken with fever and itching all over his body. Master Xi had already summoned the most formidable healer around their residence but Xi Jian's state had not changed. Mr. Xi asked his guards to look for a healer who could treat his only son.
Xi Jian's situation was getting worse. His fever increased and several times he had seizures. As a physician and alternative medicine expert, Fang Yin who had the soul of Agata could actually treat it. But he did not dare to offer himself. Who would believe if a fifteen year old girl knew so much about the science of medicine.
Ning Xia's heartbreaking screams sounded from Xi Jian's room. The entire ministry ran over to the place including Fang Yin. Seeing Xi Jian's limp body unconscious made Fang Yin feel pity. Finally Fang Yin ventured to treat Xi Jian after asking Ning Xia for permission first.
Fang Yin took out a pill from the watertight pouch he had stored on his waist. The pill he put into the mouth of Xi Jian who had not yet regained consciousness. A pill of various potions that one of its uses could overcome allergies, a disease suffered by Xi Jian at this time. Although mild disease, allergies can lead to death if not treated properly.
While waiting for the pill to react, Fang Yin did a massage at some point to open up Xi Jian's bloodstream for the toxins in his body to come out. Seeing Xi Jian had started to stabilize, Fang Yin again took out something from his belt that was an acupuncture needle. The needles were sterilized with lanterns in the room before use.
Fang Yin undressed the clothes worn by Xi Jian at the top. Fang Yin stuck the needles one by one carefully on the part of Xi Jian's body that was related to his illness. Xi Jian's skin color started to change to normal from its original blackish red. His breathing was more regular and his lips were no longer pale.
After the feeling had improved, Fang Yin pulled out the acupuncture needles and then put them back in storage.
"Young Master is improving, Madam. Soon it will be realized. Don't give him sea fish, shrimp, and shellfish. Maybe she'll puke soon, ma'am. I will prepare warm water and food for Young Master. Excuse me!" Fang Yin asked himself.
"Wait on! Let the other waiter do that. You accompany me here. Master Xi was going to find some medicine for Xi Jian."
"Okay, Madam." Fang Yin again sat on the floor beside Xi Jian's bed.
Not for long, Xi Jian experienced what Fang Yin had said. Fang Yin deftly took care of Xi Jian who spewed out his entire entrails. Xi Jian looked fine even though his body was still limp.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Xi Jian's words made Ning Xia feel relieved. His eyes glazed over to see that the son had finally survived. He was very grateful to Fang Yin who had saved Xi Jian's life.
