Curses
After ten minutes of waiting, the waitress finally comes back
with a tray of food and a pot of green tea.
"Here you go, enjoy." She bows and leaves the room.
Meng Xiang stares at the food in front of her.
"…." Was this food worth a few gold?
There are only a few pieces!
She will never understand the world that rich people live in.
She picks up a fork and starts eating.
The moment she puts it in her mouth, she felt like she went to
Heaven.
"What deliciousness!" She thought.
She shoves it all in her mouth within seconds.
"…."
She looks at the empty plate in front of her.
"??? How is it gone already!?! That was faster than me eating
a slice of bread!" She cries in her heart.
Tian Yi watches her gobble down the plate of food in less than
a few seconds.
When he sees her sad face after finishing it, he laughs.
"Hahahaha, want more?"
She looks at him with a weird face.
She wants to eat more, yet she did not want to spend so much
money on it!
"N–" She tried to reject but…
"You know Meng Xiang…." Tian Yi starts to talk.
"It's alright to be a bit greedy; you deserve it."
"Don't worry about money in front of me. If I can make
someone like you happy with it, I won't hesitate to spend it
all."
"You're no longer a beggar in the streets, but my personal
servant." He looks at her with a gentle face.
"Although you might not understand what it means to be my
personal servant at the moment… You will learn in the
future."
"And when you do… Hehe" He giggles.
"So with that said, eat all you want. You've had it hard until
now so it's alright to be a bit selfish…"
*Sniff*
Meng Xiang starts to cry again, but she did not want to ruin
her new dress.
He looks at her and smiles.
"Come." He opens his arms wide open and nods at her.
*WAAAAAAAAAAH*
She cries and runs into his arms.
He hugs her, and she cries even more.
He pats her silky black hair, whispering in a soft voice, "That's
right, let it all out."
* * * *
A few minutes later, Meng Xiang still had red eyes.
Tian Yi looks at her and then looks at his chest, filled with
tears and snots.
"Hahaha… So this is what it feels like to be a mother…" He
remembers when he would use to cry to his mother because
his father would not let him out to play.
"Done? Hungry again?" He makes fun of her rumbling
stomach.
"Un…" She nods with a red face.
"Good, let me clean this up." He waves his hand, and Pure
Spirit Power covers them, washing away the dirty snots and
tears.
"Okay, let's order more food."
He calls the waiter back in.
"What else would you like?" She asks him.
Although she had heard Meng Xiang crying, she did not
bother them.
"Everything on the menu." He said.
"…. Really?" She looks at the little girl sitting on his lap…
But this time she did not say anything and nods.
"Good! I'll be right back!" She ran off to tell the chefs, afraid
she would change her mind.
An hour later, she comes back with many other waitresses
carrying plates.
Five minutes later, the entire room was filled with food.
Meng Xiang starts drooling at the smell and display in front of
her.
"Here's the payment, keep the change." Tian Yi pays her a
handful of Spirit Stones.
"Thank you, Young Master!" All the workers bowed to him
and left the room.
"Go eat. We have all day." He smiles at Meng Xiang.
"Un!" She hugs him tightly before running off to the food
paradise.
After another 30 minutes, Meng Xiang was sitting down on
the balcony, with her hands on her stomach.
"T-this is what it feels like to be full…" She cries in her heart.
She looks at Tian Yi, and her eyes turn watery.
He noticed it and looked at her, "What is it?"
"Nothing… Oh, Big Brother… Did you also fail the Entrance
Exam?" She asked him.
*Cough*
He coughs at that question.
"You see, although I did fail, I did not really fail either…" He
laughs.
He felt embarrassed, but he did not want her to know that he
failed because of her.
Although he did have many other ways to pass, he couldn't
ignore her crying out there any longer.
The moment he saw her leave with that face, he had his Divine
Sense on her the whole time.
He felt his heart turn heavy after he sees the pain she was
hiding in her soul.
"Aiya, mother, you spoiled me too much. Look at me now. I
also have a weak spot for crying Children…" He blamed his
mother.
Although his father was strict with him, he knows why and
does not blame him for it.
As for his mother… Let's just say she spoils him more than
any grandfather does to his grandkids!
He looks at the little girl in front of him patting her expanded
stomach.
"Hahahaha." He laughs.
"?" Meng Xiang looks at him with a questioning face.
"Nothing, nothing. Ah, I almost forgot. Somewhere in the
future, I'll let you meet my other funny Servant; his name is
Lao Bai." He mentions about Lao Bai to her.
"Lao Bai? Where is he now?" She asks.
"I gave him a little job to do. He might be gone for a bit, but
you'll see him later." He giggles after reminiscing what he said
to Lao Bai.
"Okay. Big Brother, what do we do now?" She asks him about
their future.
"We just wait, they're probably looking for me right now." He
laughs.
"Who's they?"
"Ah, you know, the place that we tried to enter."
"Ah, the place we failed to go?" She replied innocently.
*Cough*
"Yes."
*Cough*
He coughs off his embarrassment.
"Let's just sit here and relax for awhile. I want to read this
book too.." He takes out an old book.
"What book is that?" She asks.
"An interesting book."
"Here, let me read a few pages to you." He turns the pages and
starts reading to her.
* * * *
On the first floor at the Dragon's Den restaurant.
A group of young figures enters the restaurant.
"Welcome to the Dragon's Den, how many people will it be?"
The waitress welcomes them.
"39, give me the largest room." The male in the lead said.
The waitress's face pales.
She knew what this group coming here means.
"T-the largest room is currently taken." She said with a
worried face.
"Hah? Taken? By who?" He was surprised.
"By two customers…" She said.
"Are they Seniors?" He frowns.
"No, it's two nobles." She didn't dare to lie.
"Hahaha, it's only two nobles. Kick them out. Today we are
celebrating Fairy Ying's acceptance to the number one Sect in
Jin Long Continent, the Profound Dragon Spirit Sect!"
"She's already an Inner Disciple too!" Someone else adds.
"Please wait a moment; I'll go and talk to the two nobles." She
ran upstairs and into Tian Yi's room.
She knocks and enters to see the two of them reading a book.
"Sorry to inform you two, but a group of Disciples from the
Profound Dragon Spirit Sect needs this room. Can you give
them some face and leave?" She apologized to them.
Tian Yi looked at her and did not speak.
She frowns and continues, "It's for F—"
"Xiao Ying's group right?" He interrupts her.
She was surprised and nods.
"I see, tell them to wait a few more minutes. I want to finish
this green tea. We will be on our way right after I am done."
He said with a calm face.
"B-but…" The waitress pales after hearing that.
"You're going to make them wait?" She asks.
"Of course, it's just a few minutes. They can handle it." He
said.
"I see, I'll tell them that…" Although she didn't want to
offend these two, the ones downstairs are way more important.
She ran back down and told them what he had said.
"What?! Which bastard dares to make our Fairy Ying wait?"
"That's right, he even knew it was her, yet he still dares to
make her wait?"
"Let's all go up and beat his ass up!"
They all turn angry and walks to the next floor with big
strides.
The waitress watched them go up but did not say anything.
"Hmph, that's what you get for being ignorant." She sneers.
Tian Yi was currently finishing up his tea.
"Okay, I am done. Let's go and not hold up this room any
longer." He said to Meng Xiang and prepared to leave.
But before he can even stand up, the door blasted open, and a
group of people walks in with angry faces.
"…." He looks at them with a weird face.
What the hell are they doing? Are they going to pay for that?
"I remember you! You are that idiot who blocked our paths the
other day with that old man!" The male in the lead points at
him.
"Hahaha, I hope you remember what I said last time right?"
"If I see you again, I'll tear your limbs off!"
They started laughing.
"What are you doing breaking people's stuff? Are you going
to pay for it?" Tian Yi said with a calm face.
"Eh?" They did not expect this reply from him.
"Ahahahaha! He's definitely an idiot!"
They laughed even harder.
"…." Xiao Ying looked at this clown in front of her.
Not wonder he was so shameless to fake his Cultivation as a
Spirit King…
"We're going to leave now, so excuse us." Tian Yi walks
towards them.
"You think Fairy Ying is going to save you this time?
Hahaha."
"Naive! Fellow disciples beat him up! As for that little girl,
beat her up too!" The male lead orders.
"Yeah!" They all cheered.
They surrounded the two of them.
Meng Xiang was scared out of her wits.
She has been bullied and hit before, but not to this degree!
Tian Yi finally frowns.
"Stop. What the hell are you doing? You're shameless enough
to beat a little girl like her?!" He said in a cold voice.
"Hmph, if you were smart enough to leave the moment you
were told to, this might not have happened!" Someone sneers.
"So your reason for beating up a child is just because you
monkeys could not stand still for a few minutes?" Tian Yi
sneers.
"What did you just call us!" The male lead screams.
"You fucking bastard! You're a monkey! Your mother is a
monkey! Your entire 9 generation are monkeys!" Someone
cursed at his family.
"Aiya! I would not curse my family if I were you or—-"
*BANG*
Lightning appears out of nowhere in the clear sky and strikes
the roof of Dragon's Den, piercing right through it and striking
the one who cursed his family.
"AAAHHHHHH" He screams in agony, and the next second,
his whole body was burnt black.
"!!!!" Everybody around him jumps back from fright.
What the fuck! He got struck by lightning?! What kind of
thunder can turn a Cultivator into a burnt chicken?!
"Aiya, I tried to warn him. You can only blame yourself for
cursing my family…" Tian Yi sighs.
What did it mean to curse his family? It meant that he was
cursing at the Heavens!
No matter who it was, to curse the Tian Imperial Family as a
whole was a grave sin.
Enough to be struck by a Heaven's Tribulation…
Everybody stared at the burnt body on the floor with big eyes.
Meng Xiang felt like puking up her food after seeing that
thing.
Then they looked at the young man currently surrounded by
them.
"Bullshit! I do not believe cursing your family will have
lightning strike them!" Someone yells.
"That's right! What kind of fucking bullshit is that?!"
They all started cursing at him again, but nobody dared to
curse at his family… Fearing that 'what if.'
Nobody.
But this one who did not believe in curses.
"Fuck your mother! Fuck your father! Fuck your nine
generations!" He screams with a loud voice.
Everybody around him had a scare and instantly jumps away,
fearing that they might get hit.
"Hmph, look, nothing hap—"
*BANG*
Another lightning strikes the Dragon's Den, piercing through
the roof and right at the one who had just cursed.
*Sshhhh*
He did not even get to a chance cry and was instantly burnt
into a crispy burnt chicken.
*GASP*
Everybody including Xiao Ying gasps.
Heavens! It was real!
Everybody looks at Tian Yi like he was a monster.
Tian Yi shakes his head, "I have already warned you. Don't
blame me for your stupidity."
"Anybody else wants to curse my family?" He looks around.
"…."
Everybody felt their soul trying to escape their body.
"W-we are sorry for bothering you… We'll be leaving now.."
Xiao Ying said and took a step back.
"Hold." Tian Yi stops them before they can even move a step.
"W-what is it?" She asked with a shivering voice.
"Do you really think that you can just walk away right after
cursing my family and attempting to beat my personal
servant?" He said in a calm voice and materialized something
in his hand…
"Although you won't die, it'll hurt a bit. You can only blame
yourselves for not listening to your parent's teaching…
Especially you, Xiao Ying…"
"RUN!" Xiao Ying accidentally pissed her pants when she
heard him call her name specifically.
Everybody did an 180 turn and started running for the door;
some even tried to jump out the window.
All they had in mind right now is to run away from this
monster as fast as possible!
But before they could even take three steps, they all see an
oval shaped object coming for their faces right before blacking
out.
*PAP* *PAP* PAP* *PAP* PAP* *PAP* PAP* *PAP*
Everybody eating below could only hear deafening slapping
sounds coming from the top.
"What's going on up there? A slapping contest?"
"Aiya, only the super rich people can sit on the upper floors,
let's forget about their weird hobbies."
"Right, let's just eat."
They continue eating while ignoring the slapping sounds
coming from above.
