In the end, it was all a misunderstanding.
Jiang Ying Yue moved in her seat as her gaze slowly traveled down eyeing her robes bit by bit, inspecting every crease and fold.
" Master, you can stop looking, your old virgin body is still intact." A childish voice suddenly rang out in her mind.
Jiang Ying Yue: "....."
Azure was already fuming and was ready to give Abhram a good beating to avenge her dear master.
" Hmm....old virgin?" Jiang Ying Yue raised her brow. Her tone sounded indifferent but Abhram felt that it contained ten thousand watts of electric current which jolted him awake to the core.
'Oh, I am so dead!'
" No, no, Master, did you hear it wrong?!" Abhram shook his head like a rattle drum, " It's not old virgin, it's not old virgin!"
His round eyes kept rolling from left to right as he stuttered in panic, "It's..it's Old-Old Virgi...nia....city. Yes, it's Old Virginia City! Master, this is the new song I made recently. Why don't I sing it for you to listen, Master? Master is omnipotent, Master would definitely be able to provide me with some good pointers!"
After trying his best to suck up Abhram couldn't wait to sing the song, " It's the Old Virginia City, it's the Old Virginia City. Oh, no! It hasn't toppled down, it's still intact! Oh, yes, it's intact! Intact Virginia City! Intact Virginia City! Oh.... it's Intact VirgiCitycity. It hasn't toppled down, it's still intact. Yes, it's still intact. Intact, intact, the Old Virginia city is still intact!...."
Jiang Ying Yue: "...."
Azure:"...." She didn't know this person.
Seeing the little guy sing so passionately as if his life depended on it Jiang Ying Yue's eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly.
After some time Jiang Ying Yue parted her lips, " Tomorrow morning go to the City Square to sing songs. I'll get carpenter Zhou's disciples to customize a guzeng for you. Tomorrow bring that guzeng....oh, and a small bowl along when you head to square to sing. With your talent, you would definitely be able to earn some money."
Abhram: "....."
Why did he understand everything but was still unable to understand anything when put together?
" Master? You want me to go to the City Square?" Abhram asked feeling unsure and doubtful.
" Yes." Jiang Ying Yue nodded indifferently.
Abhram gulped....this...this...
Suppressing rising unease he tried to ask again, " You want me to go there and...and sing?"
" Yes. Why? Is there a problem?" Jiang Ying Yue raised her brow.
Hearing this Abhram felt like his world was covered in darkness.
He couldn't help but suspect that his ears were malfunctioning otherwise how could he have heard such an absurd thing?
Abhram couldn't calm down, his little face was pale.
" Master, you...you are asking me if I can go to the City Square tomorrow morning to sing?" Pointed at himself uneasily, praying the heavens a thousand times in his heart that whatever he had heard just now was nothing but him hallucinating.
Seeing the little boy's chubby cute face losing color bit by bit Jiang Ying Yue felt bad but she didn't soften her heart and held on.
This little guy must be taught a lesson!
It wasn't good to be so snarky. If she let him continue on this path, he would grow up crookedly.
Although these two little guys were guardian spirits and had lived for ten thousand years they were not much different from human kids. Other than, having higher intelligence and ability than human kids they were basically the same.
So in this sense, she was not only their Master but also their parent. So, it was her duty to guide them to the right so that they wouldn't grow crooked and end up becoming lawless devils.
Today that brat was giving her a personal attack, next time he would go outside and do the same to someone else. Even if she didn't hold any grudge and forgave him, there was no way others would do the same.
It would be fine if he messed with some easy targets but if this guy ended up offending someone he shouldn't have offended the result would be disastrous.
No one was invincible, everyone had a sore spot that they wished to be poked. However, if someone deliberately poked it and provoked them, it would only bring disaster.
Moreover, this world was a cultivation world, the people here usually played cruel and bloody. If such a thing happened here even if that brat wasn't killed he'd lose half his life.
Therefore, it was better to be safe than sorry. She had to nip the trouble in its bud before grew.
If she didn't teach him a good lesson, this brat would never know what was pain.
" No." With this thought, Jiang Ying Yue shook her.
Abhram sighed in relief, however, this relief didn't last long when he heard her say, " I am not asking you. I am ordering you to go. Tomorrow morning you must go to the City Square on time to sing--not only tomorrow but the day after tomorrow and the day after that--take it as your daily schedule. From now on you must appear in the City Square on time to sing. Even if you have something urgent to do you have to go there and sing for at least one hour every day."
Abhram widened his eyes in disbelief.
He felt like he had been struck by lightning.
Even Azure was shocked.
The Supreme Gaurdian leader was now going to be a street singer!
Wow! Was she dreaming?!
This concept was just too incomprehensible.
Nevertheless, Azure felt that he deserved it. Master, was just too amazing.
" Master, how could you do this to me?!" Abhram couldn't stand this injustice.
However, Jiang Ying Yue remained indifferent, " What did I do to you? Didn't you say that you made that song? I see that you are quite talented, keeping you here would only waste your precious talent. Besides, our manor has so many people to raise, and I don't have any stable income. So why don't you go and help me earn some change? Even though it won't be much, money is money after all. Even a bit of it has its use."
Abhram's mouth was open wide.
What was he hearing?
Why couldn't he understand anything?
How he wished that he was deaf!
Asking him to sing on the streets to earn some change money was no different from asking him to roll on the ground and beg.
Then what was the difference between him and a beggar?!
He, the Supreme Guardian Of the Brahma World, was going to be reduced to a beggar.
How embarrassing!
Embarrassing, just too much embarrassing!!
If word got out how could he lift his head in the future?
She might as well kill him and be done.
Why torture him so much?
Jiang Ying Yue looked like she hadn't had enough and continued seriously, " What are you troubled about? Don't worry I never mistreat my people. Whatever you earn we will divide it in 60-40, I'll take the larger portion and you can have the smaller portion. You are a filial child, how can reject your filial piety?"
Abhram: "....."
Where's the rope?!
Let him hang himself!
Life has no meaning!
" Master...." He was on the verge of rolling on the ground and crying. He wanted cling onto Jiang Ying Yue's and play pitiful. It was a pity the current circumstances didn't offer him that chance.
However, Jiang Ying Yue didn't think of being lenient in the slightest bit, " I know what you want to say. "
Abhram's eyes lit up with hope.
Master loved him so much, how could he bear to mistreat him?
She must be teasing him, right?
Yes, yes, it must be the case!
" You are a such good child. I understand your heart. But child, you are the one who is going to work hard to earn money, how could I bear to take them all? Do I look that kind of villainous person to you?"
" Keep the rest for yourself, save them as your dowry." She even added.
By now Abhram was completely numb and speechless.
Only now did he realize he had messed with the wrong person.
Usually, Jiang Ying Yue was easygoing and lenient. Even if they made a mistake or said something wrong, she would go easy on them.
Hence, Abhram took it for granted and grew more gutsy that he even dared to launch such a personal attack.
Although he didn't mean any harm, this behavior wasn't good.
Retribution!
This was retribution!
Abhram repeated.
" Then it's decided." Then she turned to Azure, " Tangtang, keep an eye on him, don't let him run. You have to make sure he completes his quota every day and if he dares to be lazy just come directly to me."
" Okay, Master, just leave it to me!" Seeing that Master had handed her such an important task Azure was full of energy.
" Alright, now go bring him to rest. Tomorrow's going to be a long day if he doesn't have a good rest, how he is going to make money?"
After hearing all this, Abhram wanted to cry but had no tears.
So bad!
These people were so bad!... Wuwu....
" Master, don't worry, I know what to do. Master, you should also go and get some rest, just leave him to me. Goodnight, Master." Azure patted her chest and hopped over before hauling Abhram up on her tiny shoulders.
" Baby Dumpling, let's go, it's time to sleep." Then she went up the mountain.
Everything happened so quickly that Abhram couldn't even react. It was only when they were halfway up the mountain Abhram finally reacted and struggled with all his might.
" Let go! Let go!.....Master, you can't do this to me! I am your dearest cute little dumpling!"
" Stop struggling, it's useless!"
" Shut up! What do you know?!...Master, I apologise, can you please take back the punishment....Master, Master, why don't I perform Harakiri instead?"
" Baby Dumpling, what is Harakari?"
" You are so stupid, you know nothing, and watch your mouth! Who allowed you to call me Baby Dumpling?!"
" Do you want to get beaten?!"
However, all his struggle was futile, he wasn't Azure's match. He could only accept his fate grudgingly and let Azure bring him to rest so that the next day he could play guzheng.
In short, he was just too pitiful.
Jiang Ying Yue sighed and shook her head.
" What's wrong with our Miss?"
" I am not sure. Do you think she couldn't withstand the blow?"
" Our poor Miss.....wuwu..."
" What are two whispering about ?" Jiang Ying Yue raised her brow before shaking her head.
This was another pair of troublemakers.
