C1202 The Suffering Ah Ya
"Lu Feng, are these beads?"
Under Lu Xuanba's lead, Lu Feng arrived at an ancestral hall. When he arrived in front of the memorial tablets, he found a Bead of World placed in front of several memorial tablets.
"Old man, you said these are underworld beads?" Lu Feng couldn't help but ask when he saw that the bead in front of the memorial tablets was the Bead of World he had mentioned.
"Yes. Many powerful people in a world have a bead after they die. We call this bead the Dark Bead, but not every powerful person who has a world will form a bead after they die." Lu Xuanba explained.
Lu Feng naturally knew about this. But now that he saw that these Bead of World were actually worshiped, he knew that it was not possible to get them to help him collect these pearls.
"That's right. These Bead of World are formed after a person dies. That's the Dark Bead. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that I can only rely on myself to absorb these beads in the future." Lu Feng muttered in his heart.
From the way the Lu Family handled things, it seemed like the situation of the other families was similar. Therefore, Lu Feng knew very well that it wouldn't be as simple as he thought if he wanted to use the Bead of World to improve his cultivation base.
"Soul Realm, it seems like I will have to collect the Bead of World myself in the future. Also, this matter can't be known by anyone else. Otherwise, others will definitely think that I am a monstrous genius." Lu Feng said.
These Bead of World were called Dark Pearls. If others knew that Lu Feng could absorb the energy within these pearls, it would be no different than a man-eating monster.
Moreover, these Dark Pearls were not used for other purposes. Therefore, one could imagine the respect people had for the deceased. Therefore, once the news about Lu Feng was leaked, he would be hunted down by humans.
"Fenger, you haven't told me why you are asking about these pearls." Lu Xuanba looked at Lu Feng, who was standing in a daze, and asked again.
"It's nothing. It's nothing. I'm just asking around. It's nothing." Facing Lu Xuanba's question, Lu Feng smiled and shook his head.
Although Lu Feng didn't say anything, he could tell from Lu Xuanba's reaction that Lu Xuanba must be hiding something.
However, since Lu Feng didn't want to say anything, Lu Xuanba naturally wouldn't continue asking questions.
Because he believed that if Lu Feng was willing to say it, he would definitely tell him.
Just like that, after leaving the ancestral hall with Lu Xuanba, Lu Feng returned to his room alone.
"Sigh, it seems like the plan can't keep up with the changes. So these Bead of World are called Dark Pearls, and they are even worshiped in front of the memorial tablets." After returning to his room, Lu Feng lay on his bed with a helpless expression.
Idealism was beautiful, but reality was cruel. Now, this reality let Lu Feng know that everything he had before was just a fantasy, so he had to rethink what he should do next.
Of course, this could be considered bad news. But now that his cultivation base had increased, his mood wasn't that bad.
"Gulp! Gulp!"
Just as Lu Feng was about to take a good rest, his stomach suddenly started to grumble.
After cultivating for more than a month, although his cultivation base had improved, his stomach had already become empty.
Although Lu Feng wouldn't starve to death if he didn't eat, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he was hungry.
Besides, Lu Feng was in the Lu Family now. He had to eat, drink, and drink, so why would he treat him badly?
"Go and find Aya to get me something to eat." Lu Feng muttered to himself, then sat up from the bed.
After leaving the room, Lu Feng used Lu You's memory to look for the place where the maidservant lived.
"Little Young Master!"
Just as Lu Feng was about to approach the place where the maidservant lived, the maidservants who were walking towards him kept greeting him.
Lu Feng naturally smiled and nodded in response to these unfamiliar maidservants.
"The people of the Lu Family are really enjoying themselves. These maidservants are all so exquisite and beautiful. If they were in the lower realm, they would definitely be great beauties." Lu Feng sighed in his heart as he walked.
"Little Young Master, are you here to find Aya?"
At this moment, a girl in green clothes stopped in front of Lu Feng and asked.
"Yes, do you know which room she lives in?" Lu Feng asked.
"Qi mama saw that Aya had nothing to do recently, so she sent her to fetch water and wash her clothes." The girl said respectfully.
"Oh, oh, thank you!"
Lu Feng nodded slightly, then turned around and walked towards the courtyard that specialized in washing clothes.
"Little Young Master is such a good person. I really envy Aya to be able to find such a good mistress." After Lu Feng turned around and left, the girl looked at Lu Feng's back with an envious expression.
...
"Aya, after you wash these clothes, go and pick the three vats of water slowly. Hurry up and fill them up before it gets dark. Do you hear me?"
Just as Lu Feng rushed to the washing house, an old woman pointed at the three empty vats of water and ordered the girl who was washing the clothes.
"Qi mama, I still have a lot of clothes to wash. Can you give the task of getting the water to other people to do? I really can't make it in time." Aya, who was washing her clothes, looked at the three vats and said.
"Other people do it? Then let the others take your salary, okay?" The old woman frowned slightly and said, "If I tell you to do it, then do it. Why do you have so much nonsense to say? Remember, if you don't pick a good one before dark... I've already told you beforehand that I'll deduct your salary. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. "
"Got it!"
Hearing Qi mama's words, Aya gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.
"Work hard. Don't think that just because you become Little Young Master's personal maidservant, you can easily live your life. Let me tell you, in Lu Family, there are no servants who are paid for free." Qi mama said coldly.
After saying that, Grandma Qi left the courtyard with the other maidservants, leaving Aya with a pile of dirty clothes that had not been washed.
The Lu Family had a large family business, so there were quite a number of people. Hence, the number of dirty clothes that came in a day was even greater.
Originally, the number of clothes a day needed to be washed by ten maidservants together in one morning, but now all the clothes were thrown to Aya alone, which made it clear that she would not be able to finish them all.
Regarding this point, Aya was very clear in her heart. She knew that Qi mama was messing with her, but so what if she knew? She was just a servant and had no ability to resist.
Therefore, in the face of such a situation, the only thing Aya could do was to obediently accept her fate. Even if she could not finish her work, she could only continue to do it.
A few days before Lu Feng started cultivating, Aya did not have any work at all and no one knew who told Qi mama. In the end, Aya was sent to this place not long after and then went to wash clothes and fetch water every day.
Now that a whole month had passed, although Aya's heart was tired, she believed that as long as Lu Feng was around, she definitely wouldn't have to do these hard work anymore.
"This is the place to wash clothes, it still hasn't changed at all!"
Following Lu You's memory, Lu Feng came to this courtyard that specialized in washing clothes, with many twists and turns.
"Aya!"
When Lu Feng walked into the yard, the first thing he saw was Aya, who was washing clothes.
"Little Young Master!"
Aya, who was washing her clothes with her head down, heard this familiar voice. She quickly looked up at the door of the yard.
When Aya saw Lu Feng appear in front of her, the grievance in her heart burst out, so she cried in front of Lu Feng.
"Aya, what happened to you?"
When Lu Feng saw Aya looking at him and suddenly crying, he frowned slightly, obviously not knowing what had happened.0
Without thinking too much, Lu Feng appeared in front of Aya in a flash.
"This..."
When Lu Feng saw that Aya's originally small hand was full of wounds, his expression immediately turned cold.
"Aya, what happened to your hand? Why are they all blisters and wounds?" Lu Feng asked in a deep voice.
"Little Young Master, I... I..." Aya did not know what to say because she was just a servant. It was her duty to work.
Besides, Qi mama also had a backer in Lu Family. Once she found out that she had complained to Lu Feng, she might suffer even more in the future when the latter wasn't around.
"Little Young Master, I'm fine."
Thinking of this, Aya knew that she could not say anything to Lu Feng.
"What's fine? Tell me what exactly happened?" Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
Although he had not known Aya for long, since she was his personal maidservant, as his mistress, Lu Feng naturally had to protect the person that belonged to him.
"Aya, who are you chatting with? Hurry up and get to work."
But at this moment, a stern shout came from outside the courtyard. When she heard this voice, Aya's face turned slightly pale and she hurriedly sat down to continue washing her clothes.
"Aya, don't wash anymore. Come with me." When Lu Feng saw Aya preparing to wash her clothes again, he quickly scolded her.
After saying that, Lu Feng turned around and looked coldly at the old woman who walked in. He then asked in a deep voice, "Aya is my woman. Her job is to take care of my daily life. She shouldn't be washing her clothes here, right?"
"Little... Little Young Master, you were not here before. I saw that Aya was free. Plus, there were too many jobs, so he asked her to come over and help share some of the work. Aya, since Little Young Master is back, you don't need to wash your clothes. Just serve Little Young Master well." Qi mama said.
"Can you share some of the burden?" Lu Feng pointed at the pile of clothes on the side and said coldly.
"This... I... Little Young Master..."
Qi mama instantly did not know what to say after being asked by Lu Feng.
"You don't need to explain anything. Forget about it this time. If there is a next time, I won't let you off lightly. Remember, Aya is one of my people. Other than me, no one else can order her to do anything."
Lu Feng coldly shouted at Qi mama and left the place with Aya in the next second.
