I shouldnt have expect anything but I thought atleast their is something to eat but ofcourse there's none!
Knock.Knock.
"Young Master Bai, Is there any food here?"
"There is none." he coldly answered without opening the sliding door.
"Umm..How do you ...eat?"
"I go to the forest to find food. You better go back and beg the Master to take you back or you'll die in hunger here." There is still coldness in his tone but also loneliness.
I sneer but not for him ofcourse.
This household is really something.
When you are down they will still throw rocks at you. Not just rocks but boulders!
How pitiful, this handsome kid is born to this sh*tty family.
Okay.
Now I know what to do.
Forest huh.
Okay.
Ill venture you dude Forest!
Give me some good food.
"Okay. I will leave for a while and find us some good food." I happily went.
I am a sales lady who cant afford to buy my meals so I am a good cook you know. Just wait for this Auntie.
I will feed you alot of good food.
Bai is silent in the room.
He needs to send this maid away or she might be targeted too. The last maid who took care of him ended up in miserable death. He just have to endure the oppression of this family and once he is old enough, he will leave and maybe in his journey he might find someone to help him cultivate. In this world where strength speaks the truth and the weak doesnt even got chance to speak, he wouldnt let everyone step on him forever.

"Shu Lan... What does my name means anyway? I remember that in every novel I read when they are telling their names they are also tells the equivalent meaning. Japanese manga does that too sometimes. Shu Lan. Does that means pretty lady? How do I look anyways? There is no mirror anywhere. The water reflection is not that clear....The water itself is not that clear. I have to make a make shift water filter or else that thin handsome young Master Bai might grow ugly. The heroine is a bit arrogant, what if she wont marry him? Gotta do my best, gotta do my best." I am talking tk myself as I walk to the forest entrance.
I mighty scared.
Sigh.
What if some demon beast appears and I make a fateful encounter in their stomach?
Hmm..
I remember that thing appeared before when I am in peril. This time...

"Awesome...." Let's pretend I didnt See that last in the listing panel.
"This price is actually high. My salary is only 10B a month. This Gift of 100G is truly a heaven sent."
Okay. Im sweating.
The Protagonist will have a fateful encouter and meet a good and kind Master when he reach 16. So why the Hell is this pill included in my Medicine panel list????! And its the exact money I have and Game points.
Are you robbing me?
I see. The System is testing me if Ill help the protagonist of not. Give me a break!
My stomach rumble again.
Money, I can earn that again. But Game Points I dont know how to get it back.
Sorry Protagonist, wait for your fateful encounter. Food is important too.
Lets see.
I can take money and go to the market and save more money but right now I cant walk too far cause Im really hungry. My Left arm is also injured. I should buy that Wound Cream later.
I purchase 2 100g Rice and 500g meat.Luckily, its chicken meat. If its some monster meat that needs cultivation to chew, Itll kill me.
Sadly, there's no vegetables.
And there's no oil.
I make Chicken porridge.
Atleast I find some salt and maybe 2 pinch of pepper?
Is this the era where pepper cost 100G per grams?
Sigh.
Using Appraisal, The porridge is edible(lols).
"Young Master Bai, I made you a bowl of chicken porridge. It taste...Chicken porridege." The cheerful voice qont stop ringing.
Bai Huang frowns.
He is in his room and actually also very hungry. But just last day, His cousin injured him causing him slight fever and dizziness.
"Leave! If you have food then eat it. If it comes from the main house then dont eat it. It is either spoilt or laced with poison." he bite his lower lip so his trembling will stop.
"Young Master....I cook this for you. I already ea--I will eat later. It is enough for 8 people. Please eat it."
Blinking.
Shu Lan looks at the Young Master who opens his door.
To be honest she wants to just enter since its probably not locked. But remembering some bit of manners she stops herself from rushing in.
Bai Huang looks at the clean faced girl and the bowl with steaming porridge.
"Did you steal it?" he looks really worried.
"ah?"
"Look at that rice, its so white! Why did you steal it? Where? If they found out...They'll...."
"I didnt steal it."
"Where did It came from then?"
"Ah.....From heaven?" Shu Lan wants to brush it off as a joke but Bai Huang face darken.
'Okay.I messed up. I knew I should just pick from the forest."
