The 4 boys Katsuki brought were on the ground as her punches had a very strong impact, they were struggling in pain and she herself got surprised by their expression of pain, 'what happened?' she asked the system, 'Why are they in so much pain?'
'That's because you didn't suppress your strength,' the system explained, 'your talent and goal were many levels about them, even your cultivation technique is many levels above what they cultivate, it is only natural for you to have more power than them.'
Katsuki got scared because he couldn't see her movements at all, 'how can she be so fast? Is she hiding her strength?' he thought and started to run away.
The guards acknowledged her power and mustered voice to warn, "Young master run away." Katsuki already ran away, the guards were dumb folded and thought, 'he already ran away.'
Yuki planned to punish Katsuki for all his deeds but as he ran away she gave up for now. She looked at the men. As they were scared of her, she left them on the road and went away.
Yuki went to Kanakuba house. The guards guarding the gates saw her and got surprised.
After she passed them they talked, "did you feel that? She has cosmos energy."
"Yes, she opened 1st petal too, she is so young but opened 1st petal, this is a slap to all people who called our young miss a trash." They became happy about her achievement.
The servants and other Kanakuba family members who were in her path saw her and got surprised to see a married girl in her birth house, she directly went to the family hall.
Gakuto saw her, he got surprised along with all elders but some elders were jealous because their children became trash compared to her. They just came to know about her cultivation now.
"Old man," she directly called him, normally people would first greet the family head and the elders when they come to the family hall, "I need 10,000 silver coins."
"Audacious," Fuminori Kanakuba reproved, "how dare you? Who allowed you to come to the family hall and talk without greeting or asking for permission?" He was the great elder of the family who was next in power after the family head. He disliked Yuki from the beginning.
The elder rankings would be represented as a great elder, 1st elder, 2nd elder and so on.
System explained about the custom, so Yuki understood and respectfully replied to Fuminori, "I am sorry about that great elder, I won't do it next time."
"Why are you acting like you don't know about that," Fuminori continued blaming her as she showed weakness, "did the Hoshi family give you boldness to disrespect us? Don't be full of yourself just because you opened the first petal, who knows what devil methods you used.
Family head, I ask you to give me permission to check what method she used. We can't let her cultivate some evil method and someday damage our family reputation."
Gakuto's happiness became stern, "Yuki, where did you get a cultivation method to open 1st petal at such young age?" Gakuto asked. He knew the great elder was asking that to get the method for himself to use it.
Yuki became alert as she could sense the greedy eyes of elders just like in the Hoshi family, "is there a reason I should be telling you that?" she asked by becoming stern, she lost what respect she had for elders after that.
Gakuto back downed as cultivators would never say their secrets but Fuminori pulled the thread, "of course, you have to, the family reputation will be judged if it found that you are practicing evil technique."
Yuki gave a mockery smile and replied, "Then I will explain to my family, the family I just got married to that is."
Fuminori and a few elders got angry for her impudence. Gakuto didn't want to have friction in the family and also didn't want Yuki to show her method to them, so he became strict and asked, "Yuki, where did you get that technique?" the elders got dissatisfied as he was trying to close the topic.
'Host, tell them a reason,' the system suggested, 'don't test their patience.'
'What should I say?' Yuki asked in a dilemma.
'Need 20 points for a suggestion,' system notified.
'Use it,' Yuki permitted.
'Successfully purchased,' system notified, then a panel appeared in front of Yuki, 'read the matter on the panel as it is.'
Yuki read it out without reading it first, "I got a master on my marriage day, she told that I have hidden talent and she poked my body with gold color needles which were not at all painful. Then I felt warmth in my body, she told me that I am feeling cosmos energy.
She gave me a book on cultivation methods and said she will come to me after I enter the solar plexus chakra and take me to her sect in a faraway place.
She was wearing a vile covering face below her eyes with a beautiful dress. I can instantly say that she was very beautiful and elegant. Her voice was so smooth that I felt like I can slip into eternal bliss.
As soon as she gave me a ring she patted my head and I felt something go into my body from the head and then she just flew away out of my sight in a split second."
Most of them became hesitant to continue further because only people who entered the solar plexus chakra could fly and as she took Yuki now if they cause any trouble to Yuki the master would kill them. Strong people wouldn't care about the lives of the weak in this world.
To completely make them give up on her method Gakuto said, "Congratulations Yuki for getting a master, she must be above solar plexus chakra to fly so fast. Follow her well without disobeying her, your future will be limitless."
Fuminori got frustrated inside but felt reluctant to discuss the matter further and gave up.
Yuki took it as a chance and asked, "I need 10,000 silver coins to learn alchemy."
Everyone got wondered when they heard alchemy because alchemy was hard to practice, so they talked, "she wants to do alchemy that is the hardest profession."
"In the entire Nilu kingdom, there are not even 10 alchemists."
"Kids are being more presumptuous these days, just because she can open 1st petal, she thinks she can become an alchemist?"
"That is our entire family monthly income worth, how can we give that to a little girl."
Yuki got annoyed with all the babbling of old fools and said, "Stop it, I am talking to my father, your opinion is not valid here. Old man, I need 10,000 silver coins, give it to me as lending, I will pay you back in a year or so. Even father-in-law agreed with me to use any herbs in his shop. As a father, shouldn't you give me something more?"
No one could believe Akihiko gave such permission and talked, "how can he give herbs in his shop just like that? He must have some motives."
"Of course, he must want to cultivate her as she became genius."
"Yuki, why do you need so much money?" Gakuto asked, "You know that is worth our entire family income right?"
Yuki stubbornly said, "I said I will pay it back in a year."
"You know no one can become an alchemist in a year right?" Gakuto tried to lower her overconfidence, "it will take a few years of practice and accumulated knowledge."
"I have confidence in myself," Yuki pursued, "didn't I open the first petal in 1 day? Do you still doubt my word? Then I will swear on my honor as a man that I will become an alchemist in 1 year. I even have my master behind me."
Then suddenly everyone got dumb folded and talked, "did she hit her head?"
"She has gone mad."
"She even forgot that she is a girl."
Yuki realized and got embarrassed, "I...I meant like I have a heart of a man, unyielding and brave."
Gakuto got worried that she might waste the money but he didn't want to miss a chance if it was possible for her to become an alchemist, added with the master topic he chose to believe her, so he asked, "Yuki, are you sure about this? Do you have confidence in your alchemy skills?"
Yuki with confidence and determination confirmed, "yes and I want them in actual silver coins, not notes." As system would only take coins.
Gakuto became proud of his daughter and took silver coin bond papers from a pouch, "then go to the treasurer of our family and tell him that I sent you, give this to him, this is my own money, so elders shouldn't have a problem."
Most elders were shocked and frustrated inside as a little girl was getting so much money, even their yearly salary wouldn't be that much.
Yuki got happy and said, "yes father," she immediately left the place. She asked the system, 'How did he take out these papers from that small pouch?'
'That pouch is a storage pouch,' system explained, 'It has an individual space inside it, bigger than its outside size. It costs a few 1000 silvers, so only elders will have such a thing.'
As soon as she left, the elders eagerly asked, "Family head, why did you do that? She is not our family anymore."
"Yes, even if she becomes alchemist only the Hoshi family will gain, we won't gain anything."
Gakuto said, "stop it, Yuki is not a girl who forgets about her birth and be greedy, if you talk like this again, I will be serious."
