A day with Emma

In a grand dining hall, a middle-aged couple and three siblings were eating dinner. Of the three siblings, two were male and one was female. Many maids were actively serving each and everyone's needs with just a hand gesture.

"Emma, how is your cultivation going? Do you need anything? Just tell me one word, I will plunder the entire city for you." Eric, Emma's younger brother casually asked.

Before Emma could even reply her elder brother Edward added to Eric's remark. "Yes, no need to hold back."

Unlike Eric, Edward only talked a few words to express his stand. Although a man of few words, Edward could raise an entire city to the ground in a blink of an eye with his powerful cultivation. After all, he was the number one younger generation expert in his province followed by Eric.

Emma's heart softened like honey as she listened to her brothers' care.

She was spoiled to the extreme before she took over the body. Her body's previous owner deemed that it was unnecessary to cultivate because of her powerful brothers and indulged in parties and friends all her life.

After the poisoning incident, the family became even more protective of her. She was accompanied everywhere except her bathroom and bedroom. Emma felt suffocated experiencing too much love and care but she couldn't refuse.

It all started with her parents...

Emma's parents wanted a girl child from the beginning but they couldn't succeed even after 2 decades. Just when they were about to give up, Emma was born. All their frustration turned into a flood of love. Emma's brothers were also grown up by then and they always felt something was missing in their family. They didn't have any motivation to pursue extreme power.

But Emma's arrival changed everything. They wanted to protect their vulnerable sister. One day their motivation to pursue the power reached a new peak when a small cute Emma asked innocently after she was bullied by a group of kids,

"Brothers, will you protect Emma from bad bullies?"

After 'new Emma' gained the memories of her predecessor, she could feel how fortunate she was. After all, she was betrayed by her sect elders back on her planet. When you truly lose something you would understand its worth. For the current Emma, family love was a very precious gift. No matter how suffocated she felt, she didn't protest in the slightest.

"Actually, I need to ask you something." Emma thought it was the right time to collect what her system needed.

Erick, Edward, and their parents stopped eating and gave full attention to Emma. Emma took a deep breath and said, "I want to start an auction house in the name of the family. I may not be talented in cultivation but when it comes to business.. anyway, you will come to know eventually. But I need your support and connections."

Emma's father, David nodded with a smile "It's good that you want to stand up on your feet. We support you wholeheartedly. But you must know that there are many auction houses in our province. If you want to stand out, not only do you need connections but high business acumen. Are you up for it?"

Before Emma could reply, Emma's mother, Lura, said in an annoying tone, "Let her do whatever she wants. Even if she doesn't succeed who cares. All that matters is, she remains happy. Emma, you don't need to take any pressure. Just tell us what you need, if your father can't do it, your brothers will do it for you."

David farrowed his eyebrows, "Is there anything I can't do in this province?" David was not talking arrogantly. He was just stating a fact. If Edward was the number one in the younger generation, he was the same in the older generation.

Lura just scoffed without giving him a reply.

Edward only said, "Consider it done."

Erick laughed and said " Why don't we simply uproot all the auction houses in the city? Then Emma won't have any competition."

Lura gave thumbs up. Edward nodded in understanding. David couldn't help but sigh at his lunatic family. Just a few words from Emma lead to a death sentence for the auction houses in the city.

Emma shook her head and said "Brothers, please don't do such things. I want to face challenges with my own capabilities. I want to know where my limits are. If I depend on you for everything, I would be a caged bird for the rest of my life. I will only ask for help if I don't have any other choice."

Everyone including David was dumbfounded. It was the first time that Emma was so serious about something. David and Lura looked at each other, they could see happiness in each other eyes. For every parent, the biggest happiness was to see their child grow up. Although they liked to protect Emma, it would only last until they died. If they truly wanted to protect her, they had to help her to protect herself.

Since Emma was taking the initiative, all they had to do was support her. Lura said with a loving tone "Alright sweety, we will promise you that we won't interfere in your adventure. Do what you want but remember that your family is always at your back."

Emma's eyes moistened with tears. She truly felt like she had used up all her previous life's luck to reincarnate into a family like hers.

After the dinner, Emma returned to her room and started to tinker with her 'strongest trading system'.

Emma used up many soul treasures in her family treasury to exchange for sin crystals. She was already at the 4the level of the soul foundation with the help of her high potential diamond grade soul and the soul chant provided by the system.

Her family was no doubt very powerful but all of them were warriors class who practiced body cultivation. They didn't need soul treasures for cultivation. But upon Emma's request, they actively started collecting them from every channel they could find.

Even with their connections and family background, soul treasures were not easy to find as they were very precious in her world. Any soul treasure was in high demand but no supply. The moment it appeared in the market, it would be sold out within a fraction of a second.

That's why Emma was excited about the auction house. "With the auction house, I can find all sorts of soul treasures and exchange for crystals."

Just when she was occupied with her beautiful dream, a notification popped in her system panel.

[Hello Emma, this is your system creator]

Emma froze up in shock. She didn't expect that someone would actually contact her using the system. She replied tentatively,

"Who are you?"

[You can call me Trucksama. I am the God who helped you reincarnate into your new family. I gave you the system to help you and also help myself]

Emma had never heard of Trucksama before. She had never seen a truck in her life, so readily believed that it was some kind of almighty existence. She didn't quite understand what the 'God' was expecting from her but she was very grateful. If not for the 'God' she would have not reincarnated into a loving family like hers.

She gathered her thoughts and told resolutely " Thank you trucksama for your kindness. I am happy to help you in any way I can."

[I will open an exchange system in the system panel soon. It's like a system market. You just have to put some treasures you find in your world and, it need not be soul treasures. I will provide you something equivalent in exchange]

Emma nodded in understanding. If it was just soul treasures, it would have been difficult for her but she was not worried about finding another kind of treasure. Just her family treasury had thousands of treasures gathering dust.

[ Also you need to quickly reach soul apprentice-level if you want to truly help me. I hope you reach it by next 2 weeks]

Emma could sense the urgency in the 'God's' words "Don't worry Trucksama, I promise you that I will reach soul apprentice-level as soon as possible."

[Good, I will talk to you next time. Take care]

Leo was standing in the queue for taking the entry mission in the adventure alliance and simultaneously chatting with Emma in the name of Trucksama. He didn't know how he came up with the name but he read a lot of Japanese manga in his previous life. So he remembered that they use Sama to call someone with respect, he decided to just go with it.

Initially, he didn't want to take the risk of entry mission but he had no choice now. Potion hall could contact him anytime and his divine soul had a chance of getting exposed. He had to quickly raise his strength to overcome the unknown variables. Since Alice and Emma had to cultivate too, he didn't want to use their treasures for the time being. His only other choice in a short time was the entry mission.

"Let's hope that this entry mission would be helpful."
