"Na-er" Someone called my name so I instinctively look at the direction of the voice
"Uncle Min" The who called me is my Uncle, Feng Min, my father's brother, he was younger than father, Uncle Min, has white long bear and a few wrinkles on his face, he was wearing an elder robe of the Feng Family
"Na-er, this good news is beneficial for you and also for us, so, we, the Old ones were thankful to the heaven that heaven gave you to us," Said Uncle Min with a kind voice
"Uncle Min..." I was speechless hearing my Uncle saying this kind of thing,
"Not only you will be nurtured by the City Lord, you will be also getting their backing and more importantly, you will be protected" Added Uncle Ming
This made me look up more to Uncle Ming, my respects for him increased, earlier I thought that he was just using me but hearing his second sentences it made me figured that Uncle Ming is a good man and uncle
But this is issue bugged me, why did the City Lord decide to engage me with his Beloved Daugther? Sounds Fishy, right?
"Father, why did the City Lord, Ye Zong, engaged me to his Daughter?" I asked my Father for explanation
"Hmm, he figured out that you're more talented than his adopted son and daughter so he thought that it will be beneficial for the both of the Family in the future if you married with the Daughter of his" Explained my Father
'What the heck?' that means that he gambled his Daughter's future? no, he can easily break the Marriage if he wants but that will make the Snow Wind Family and his reputation damage if he do that
"Ah, I almost forgot, here catch this, Na-er" My Father threw a [Storage Ring] towards me, I caught the [Storage Ring], I injected it with my [Soul Force] and I saw many [Elixirs] and [Pills] for cultivation, and I know that this [Pills] and [Elixirs] are pretty expensive even for my family, if father bought this much, I'm sure the Family will go bankrupt
"Thanks, Father, say to the City Lord that I won't disappoint him," I said to my Father and left the Hall
"Good" My Fathe nodded with a smile approving with my determination
I returned to my Room and continues my Cultivation, every Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner, Xiao-er will give it to me by placing it in front of my door so I won't get hungry
10 Days Later
My [System] is have not awakened yet, and this made me frustrated for some reason, but I know that the System will awake in a Few Months or so, that's how I feel
My Cultivation Rose into [1-Silver Rank] and this means that I can now integrate a [Demon Spirit], Currently my [Body Strength] is same as [2 Silver Rank] always 1 Rank higher than my [Soul Power] and with this can or probably can integrate a [3-5 Silver Rank Demon Spirit] but the problem here was... [Demon Spirit Coins] or in other words... Money.
The Previous Navi saved a quite some of [Demon Spirit Coins] but not enough and if I request [Demon Spirit Coins] from father, it will make suspicious as the Previous Navi was rare to request [Demon Spirit Coins] if whenever he requested [Demon Spirit Coins] it was only a Thousand or so, I need Hundreds of Thousands not only Thousands [Demon Spirit Coins] so I got an idea, the idea is begged my Mother to give me [Demon Spirit Coins]!
Mother's Chamber
*Knock* *Knock*
"Come in" A Feminine voice sounded inside the Chamber
"Mother," I said after entering the Chamber
There I saw my mother was sitting on the table, in the table, there are cup of tea
"Oh, why are you here, Na-er?" Asked my Mother with a kind and confused tone
"M-mother, c-can you give me a quite huge amount of [Demon Spirit Coins]?" I asked Mother with a nervous tone, of course, I'm nervous, as I only saw my new mother for a few times only as I cultivated for days without leaving my Chamber
"Oh, what are you going to do with it?" Asked my mother, she seems surprised about my request
"Eh, I just want to buy something" I didn't lie as I intend to buy [Demon Spirit]
"Hm? How Much?" Asked my mother, she seems suspicious of me but not much
"Hundreds of Thousands?"
"Here" Without hesitation, my mother handed me a [Storage Ring] that full of [Demon Spirit Coins
"Eh?" It took me a few seconds to came back to reality, my Mother just handed me a Millions of [Demon Spirit Coins] and I know that this much of [Demon Spirit Coins] is quite high even for my Family
"You can use all of the [Demon Spirit Coins] inside that [Storage Ring]" Said my Mother with a kind smile on her face
"M-mother" I was about to give the [Storage Ring] but Mother beat me to it
"Na-er, this [Demon Spirit Coins] is especially for you so don't think about giving it back to me," Said my mother still with a smile on her face
"Mother, thank you very much!" I thanked her as I hugged her
"Hmm" My Mother smiled wider when she saw me happy
"Bye Mother" I bid farewell to my Mother as I left while promising to myself that I will become a strong person that can protect them
My mother nodded at me then I left the Chamber
I decided to go the [Glory City Market] this area is full of Merchants that selling their, of course, products, like [Demon Spirits], [Armors], [Swords], [Bows], Etc.
After Minutes of walking, I finally arrived at the [Glory City Market], there I saw many, people walking around, finding the ones their finding
"Here, [Armor] that can take damage of [Silver Rank Demon Beast] without a scratch!"
"I have a [Sword] that can easily kill a [Bronze Rank Demon Beast]"
The Merchants were shouting their products, and it was pretty lively here
"This is [Silver Rank Demon Beast- Silk Spider]!" A Merchant yelled and this made me interested in what he was selling
I walked towards the Merchant who was seeling [Silver Rank Demon Beast- Silk Spider]
The Merchant was an old man with white hair and white-bearded, he was wearing ragged clothes, and if someone were to look at him then she or he will think that this Old Man was a beggar but as a Xianxia reader, Navi can feel that this Old Man is a hidden expert
"Hello, Old Man" I greeted the Old Man with a wide smile, It looks like this is my so-called PLOT ARMOR
"Oh, Young One, do you want to buy this, [Silver Rank Demon Beast- Silk Spider]?" Asked the Old Man with knowing smile, as expected of a Hidden Expert
"Yeah, so how much?" I asked
"5 Hundred Thousand [Demon Spirit Coins]" Answered the Old Man with a smile, I know that this is a rip off as I know the [Silver Rank Demon Beasts Spirit] is about 2-3 Hundred Thousand [Demon Spirit Coins] but this is to be expected as I know that this [Demon Spirit] is not common maybe this spirit is rare or it might be even Legend!
"Okay, I'll buy it" I bought the [Demon Spirit] without further ado I bought the [Demon Spirit]
The Old Man smiled then handed me the [Demon Spirit Stone] where the [Silver Rank Demon Spirit- Silk Spider] stored, A [Demon Spirit Stone] can store a [Demon Spirit] until the [Demon Spirit] integrated into a [Soul Realm] or sealed within Armor{From FANDOM, Can anyone tell me why they were sealed within Armor?} In most cases, a demon spirit can only be stored this way for at most six hundred years.
I took 5 Hundred Thousand [Demon Spirit Coins] from the [Storage Ring] that my mother gave me, of course, it's not a coin but a Dollar Papers, if I give him a 5 Hundred Thousand coins that will make trouble as the Coins will make a flood, of course, a flood of Coins
"Bye, Young One" When the Old Man finally grabbed my money, he immediately left the scene while me, I decided to return home to integrated my [Demon Spirit]
In a Slum Area
"Find him!" A Fat Middle Age Man wearing expensive clothes was ordering his goons to find a specific person
"He dares to snatch my [Demon Spirit]!" That's right, this is the rightful owner of the [Demon Spirit] that the Old Man sold to Navi, the Old Man somehow manage to snatch the [Silver Rank Demon Spirit- Spider Silk], that's right, the Old Man was just a normal beggar, he was not hidden expert that Navi expected, in other words, Navi was tricked
Meanwhile, Navi was oblivious to the fact that he was tricked, Navi was walking towards his home, with a blissful expression, thinking that it's his lucky day!
