Chapter 4, I burned it
Silly girl!" Lightning sighed and patted Tifa's head
"Tifa should not take matters into her own hands." The maid clutched the hem of her dress, her little head nearly bowing down to her chest
Since talismans can also be inscribed with magical power, there is nothing to worry about; in this world, I have gained an additional means of self-preservation. What concerns Thunder the most is the quality of this body, which is exceedingly poor.
There is also the issue of internal magical power. Although the previous methods of cultivation can still be used and are even more effective than those practiced at Longhu Mountain, the spiritual energy in this world is abundant and denser than that at Longhu Mountain. However, it is a great regret for Thunder that once the spiritual energy passes through the dantian, it is completely assimilated into magical power, an irreversible process. Moreover, the structure of the human body in this world is fundamentally unsuitable for cultivation.
Tifa was happy. The little girl looked up and smiled brightly
"Young master, you also have your difficulties, both Ock and Tifa are aware of this." The uncle's face had turned somewhat red from drinking, and it was evident that he was on the verge of reaching a state where the wine does not intoxicate, yet the books intoxicate everyone.
"By the way, what are you doing picking up those scraps of paper?" Thunder turned to Tifa and asked, having just seen the little girl sneak over there to collect the torn contract pieces.
"Yes, yes, the young master is now a magician..." Uncle Oak said with bleary eyes.
Such thoughts must not arise again in the future. In the past, I lacked the ability, but from today onward, no one shall bully my people! Thunder's words left Uncle Oak feeling greatly relieved.
"Young Master, what are you doing?" Tifa lunged forward, attempting to seize her contract of servitude.
I was wrong in the past! Thunder said, from Colin's memories, this down-and-out young master spent his days complaining about the heavens and the world, with no other contributions to the family.
The family has acquired some good things, but both Ock and Tifa are reluctant to consume them, leaving everything for Colin. Even so, this little scoundrel Colin still treats Tifa coldly, hitting her when he is drunk, which has made Tifa often feel tense when she is with Thunder.
"Young Master..." Uncle Oak tugged at Thunder's clothing beside him, "Tifa is also doing this for the family"
Looking at the contract of servitude in his hand, Thunder exerted a great deal of force to tear it apart
It is all the fault of that old master, who keeps saying that one cannot chew more than one can swallow. Now, it is all well and good, but there is no opportunity to learn even if I want to
He deserved to die! Thunder thought resentfully
Tifa was bought by Colin's deceased father when she was very young. As a slave, it is impossible to change ownership without the owner's permission
The household expenses, aside from selling off possessions to make ends meet, rely solely on Tifa working for others to earn some food
The Longhu Sect indeed possesses martial arts that cultivate both character and skill; however, the Fuzong focuses on the path through symbols and does not place much emphasis on these practices. Thunder has only learned the basics, and it seems that starting tomorrow, he should begin early morning exercises to improve his physical fitness
"From today onwards, there are no slaves in our household!" Thunder threw the fragments of the parchment onto the ground and stomped on them several times.
And - the - book "Burned Well!" Thunder nodded.
Tifa sat beside, silently digging into her food, nodding vigorously
Ah, had I known earlier at Longhu Mountain, I would have learned a few more talismans from my master. Now, I can only manage one spell, the Five-Light Divine Thunder Talisman
Thunder understood the feelings of the two individuals, suddenly returning from the depths of the abyss to paradise, which inevitably created a sense of psychological disparity
Where did it go wrong? Thunder took the contract of servitude without even glancing at it
After having eaten, Lei Ting moved a chair to sit under the sun, half-awake and half-dreaming, contemplating the matters concerning himself
The empty dining hall contained only one table and a few chairs, while all other furnishings had been sold off. Lightning was eating a pancake while vigorously serving vegetables onto Tifa's plate.
Tifa pretended to clean on one side, occasionally stealing glances at Thunder, who was aware of her but chose to ignore her.
At just fifteen years old, what kind of crooked thoughts could a young girl possibly have
The young master can actually use magic! The revival of the Ullman family is now hopeful! As he spoke, he unexpectedly burst into tears
These years have been hard on this child and the books. Uncle Oak still wears a silly grin on his face, as if Thunder is already a renowned wizard in the kingdom
"Let the past be the past." Thunder placed a piece of meat from his bowl into Tifa's mouth, but the little girl stubbornly refused. In the end, he forcefully stuffed it into her mouth, saying, "It will gradually get better in the future."
Watching Angus roll out the door, Thunder finally turned around and extended a large hand towards Tifa, "Where is the contract?"
Who could have imagined that the fallen young master of the Uhlmann family would transform into a distinguished magician? Both Uncle Oak and Tifa felt that fate had played a significant joke on them
Tifa remained silent, tears streaming down like beads.
"With such thin arms and legs, eat more!" Thunder glared at Tifa as she brought the food back, and the little girl immediately complied obediently.
Indeed, indeed! Uncle Oak nodded from the side. Both Oak and Colin have witnessed Tifa's contributions over the past few years. Even without this formal constraint, Tifa is still a member of the Uhlmann family.
Very well! Since I have decided to become a magician, I should store a bit more magical power. I believe that with the help of the Spirit-Restraining Pearl, accumulating magical power will become a very easy and enjoyable task
I never said to blame her!" Thunder understood the meaning of both of them and gently tapped Tifa's little head: "I knew you had something on your mind these past few days. Are you planning to sell yourself to support this household?
Previously, Colin lacked proper nutrition and abused alcohol, so it is hardly surprising that his health was poor
With a few sharp sounds, by the time Tifa raised her head again, the thunder had already torn open several gashes
Lightning glanced at Tifa and reached out to wipe the tears from her face: "Why are you still crying? Wash your face and get ready to eat."
Young master ... ... '' Tifa's beautiful eyes were filled with emotion
The young girl glanced up at Thunder and, seeing his expression was not quite good, quickly lowered her head again. Submissively, she took out the contract and handed it to Thunder, saying: "Young Master, Tifa was wrong"
Ah! Tifa was startled, her little face flushed red, "I... Tifa wants to burn it."
