Magic Cultivation

Chapter 22: Orphanage

Lisa was having fun for the first time while Nyx saved his last 2 gold coins while the other 3 gold coins he bought other spices specially the four scent herbs spices, I also bought different types of vegetables and specially beef I bought at least 20 kilos of beef which almost cost 7 gold coins which is more than half that of a gold coin... well that's alright I should make burgers and sell them to the mercenary or traders and merchants that's here on the Grannar Village, (hehehe) this'll be good for making a little bit of money if I make that type of food here, I'm sure it'll be a trend for nobles too! After a while Nyx bought the extra silver coins for food when they got home to Lisa's house so Nyx and Lisa go to an Inn that was pretty famous for they're good foods, called Boar Shack. Hmmm something really smells good at this place..! No wonder it's that famous in this village.

"Ummm... Mr. waiter..?"

Nyx was new to this kind of place and asked if there was a waiter, so Lisa told Nyx about things work.

"Ohhh... so you just need to ask for the menu then... hahaha sorry I'm new to this kind of thing but, how do you know..?"

"Ummm... I... My father use to bring me here when he was still alive..."

"..." 'I wish I didn't asked that...'

"Sorry..."

"I-it's alright... really, but I can't help but miss him... *sob*, It's just I miss him because my mom was taken... no more like she came to that swine noble..!"

"So you hate your mother..?"

"N-no... it's just this world is really unfair to people like us... my father, he died because he wanted to make our lives better so he applied to be an adventurer but... he never returned on his first expedition on some ruins..! I-I hate my self, for-for being weak... it's like you said only weak people like me will always be bullied and used by those people like that swine noble..!"

"I'm sorry... I really am... I didn't know you feel that way, I'm so so so-sorry", Good job me, you just made a little girl cry... haiz so stupid why wouldn't she cry her mother abandoned them and his father just wanted to strive for a better life... wait so she has no family..? then where is she living? in her relatives house or... in an orphanage..?'

"I-it's alright... it's just I can't help but be sad..."

"Wait... so were do you live? are an orphan by any chance..?"

Lisa heard the word "orphan" and she immediately changed her look on her face, she looked scared but angry at the same time.

"So what if I'm an orphan..?!"

"H-hey I'm just asking... why don't we buy what we want first and talk on the way there? sounds good..?"

"..."

The people murmured and though it was again a noble who was harassing an orphan, they couldn't help but feel sick that they couldn't do anything.

I bought some roasted chicken, roasted pork and some side dishes that he didn't knew about for example Bangod a dish which is fried and it seems to be shredded and made from cassava it has a mild taste but the crispiness is out of this world, it's so satisfying to eat as a snack rather than a side dish..!

*crunch, crunch*

"Hey why don't tou eat this..? it's really good...", 'haha, she must be angry I asked some stupid question again, anyway it should be aroun 5 or 6 pm now right..?'

"..."

"Listen... Lisa do you want to be stronger..?"

"..."

She's still angry... I don't know how to make things more awkward than this... haha... she really looked a little bit scared and angry, she might've thought I would take advantage of her, this brat who does she think I am? I'm a resurrected old man... haha, that sounds funny for some reason... Nyx was very confused and his face looked stupid from thinking some ideas to said till he had one.

What if I actually start a sect here..? or more like in an MMORPG a Guild! I should start one and train some people, maybe even make the Grannar village much more prosperous when I have enough man power to make the living condition much better... haha my imagination, but really if only I can have a sect then I can monopolize the untouched natural treasures in this village or the whole rocky mountain region..! I should start by making money for gathering resources as for people... Nyx looked at Lisa and thought, if she really is an orphan then I can make them follow me and be my friends and create a bond... a bond that is created by trust and not for the benefits so I wouldn't be deceived again like last time..! Nyx clenched his fist and close his eyes, Lisa saw this and thought Nyx was at a point that he couldn't take her anymore and just take advantage of her, because she heard that men molest little girl if a bad man ever appear before her in the night, and as it was night Lisa couldn't help but imagined some naughty stuff and blushed along the way but she remembered, right... stop thinking about naughty stuff Lisa, I'm angry at him... so stop thinking lewd stuff Lisa!

"Lisa..?"

"Kyaah..!"

"H-hey... are you alright..? I think your face is much redder than usual... did you have a sudden fever..? or are you that angry at me..?"

"W-what no... sorry it's not like that I'm just...", 'I'm just thinking of some naughty things... I can't probably say that to him!'

"Hey, listen do you want to become stronger..?"

"Why... why do want me to become stronger..."

"It's not like that... because if your stronger you'll have something called freedom, money, friends, adventure, even your love one... you can choose all of this when you have freedom, no... you'll have all of this if your stronger, strong enough that no one can hinder your life."

"Free... freedom..?

"Yes, if you have that you will not be like a bird stuck on a cage her whole life... imagine a world full of strange creatures, different people, new types of foods, or you can save people by creating a medicine that can kill plague and any sickness that one's fall unto... don't you want to do all that..?"

"To... venture and help people... I-I want to of course but, the world outside if full of dangers"

"That's why I'm asking you... if you want to be stronger, because I have a secret that no one in this world but the two of us and our family and friends can only have..."

"Only our family and friends can have... is that love hehe~..?"

"Uhhh... no but it's something better than just the power of love is! It's called a cultivation method"

"C-cult...? I-I heard weird people only do cults and stuff..."

"Cult..? hahaha, how ignorant... it's cultivation little girl..!", 'this girl... to call such an amazing thing that can make a mortal ascend the level that is beyond mortality... and that's immortality, to compare it to some evil cults... haha, I can't help but feel as if my knowledge about cultivation is like some cults teaching...'

"L-little girl..? hmph..! I'm probably much older than you!"

"Hah! Don't even make me start, what are you nine or seven..?"

"What..?! from nine to seven you made it look like I'm so small! I'm... I'm still five years old..."

"Hah! see..? your still five years old... haha don't act as if your much older than me"

Nyx had his head high as he was little bit taller than Lisa, Lisa couldn't help but feel annoyed that just because she was shorter than him she was treated like a kid by Nyx.

"Hmph..! well, when I grow up I'm sure I'll be much taller than you... and-and have a bigger boobs than you!"

"what..? I'm not a girl!", 'this girl... she got me good, just because I told her that my mother use to say that I'm beautiful like a girl she took advantage of that fact..! she's the real bully here!'

"Hmph..! Bleeh!"

"We'll stop at that, remember not to tell anyone about what I told you about... okay? it's our secret"

"Secret..? Mmmn... I won't talk to anyone about what you just said... but I-I hope what you said is true... I hope I can be string enough to help others"

"Don't worry, of course it's true and I don't like to lie either", 'It's true enough and the evidence is me myself, a four hundred and fifty year old man reincarnated"

"W-were here... at the orphanage, no to my home"
