Chapter 23
Before dinner, Yu Qing came home carrying a basket of fruit.
When Yu Qing entered the door, she caught a glimpse of a small figure standing in front of the TV and exclaimed. When she moved closer and found it was Huo Ling’er, she reached out and pinched Huo Ling’er’s chubby cheeks, saying "Huo Ling'er! Come eat some fruit!" as she took out an orange.
Huo Ling’er's attention was drawn by the novelty of the fruit Yu Qing had brought back, and she obediently let Yu Qing flatten and round the orange.
After dinner, Yu Qing took the opportunity while everyone was still at the table and announced, "I found a job!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Yu Qing in surprise.
Yu Qing smiled elegantly and transcendently, "I found a job that doesn't require an ID card!"
Shen Fei was curious, "Junior sister, what job is it?"
A job that doesn't require an ID card was something he wanted too.
"I saved a child by the river earlier, and that child's family introduced me to a job as a bodyguard. I discussed it with them, they provide three meals a day and transportation, gave me a mobile phone and wallet. They wanted to get me a bank card at first but I declined since that requires an ID card. Here is the contract, junior sister please take a look!" Yu Qing said, taking out a bag and placing it on the dinner table.
Inside the bag was the mobile phone they gave her, as well as the contract with Yu Qing's name written on it.
Song Jixing picked up the contract and glanced at it. The company name was Jing Sheng, which sounded somewhat familiar.
Song Jixing took out her phone and searched for it. It was a well-known multinational corporation, with business spanning multiple fields. Many tall buildings in Y City belonged to them, and even one building of her university was donated by them.
Song Jixing looked at the signature again, the surname of the signatory was the same as the owner of Jing Sheng, both surnamed Qin.
The seal and terms of the contract also did not appear forged.
Senior sister was not a child anymore, she had her own judgement, and even without spiritual power, she was not someone seven or eight people could get close to. Working as a bodyguard suited her quite well. "It looks real! Congratulations, senior sister!" Song Jixing pushed the contract back.
The salary of 50,000 written on it made Song Jixing somewhat envious. To only work 4 hours a day, with meals and transportation provided, it was simply the dream job for a slacker.
Song Jixing now suspected her senior sister had saved the young master of their family, to get such good treatment!
Naturally, Song Jixing was happy that senior sister was able to find a job!
The others expressed their congratulations and admiration towards Yu Qing once more!
Yu Qing was not stingy either, she immediately took out a bulging wallet from her pocket, "Oh right, I asked them for some advance salary, this money is for you, junior sister!"
As she spoke, Yu Qing directly slid the wallet towards Song Jixing.
"For this job, food and transportation are provided, I don't need money. Junior sister, you are more familiar with this place, it's best if you handle purchasing things with money. If there is anything else needed, I will look for you again to take money!" Yu Qing said generously.
For cultivators, money was something external. They had not bought anything for hundreds of years, living daily on the provisions from the sect, and barely using spirit stones either, relying only on personal achievement points for deductions.
Although here they did not need to cultivate, and had to work for money like everyone else. But they were still not as familiar with living here as Song Jixing, so it was most suitable to give all the money to Song Jixing.
Song Jixing thought for a while before speaking, "Senior sister, you just give me a bit for rent and food. You should keep some money for yourself, being out alone, you will inevitably need money."
Song Jixing continued after saying this, also patting Huo Ling'er's head, "With more people in the family, we can't fit anymore. More fellow sect members may come in the future, I should take time to change to a bigger place. Don't worry about food and drink for now, I still have enough here..."
Everyone nodded.
When washing up before bed, Feng Juechen found Song Jixing.
Feng Juechen: "Senior sister, am I useless, a burden to you? Unable to go out and work to earn money, making you earn money to support the family?"
When Feng Juechen spoke these words, he lowered his gaze, long eyelashes quivering slightly, accompanied by soft lamplight casting faint shadows beneath his eyelids, which set off his translucent, crystalline skin, making him seem rather moving.
Song Jixing lamented in her heart, junior brother's techniques really were charming without realizing it.
"How could that be? Junior brother, you help out every day by cooking so much, that's also a type of work! You've helped everyone a lot!"
"Is that so, senior sister?" Hearing this, Feng Juechen lifted his head, stars seeming to twinkle in his eyes.
Song Jixing turned her head away, no longer fooled by his beauty, "Yes! However junior brother, we may move somewhere else in a few days. We can hire someone specialized in cooking then. Has junior brother thought about what you want to do yourself?"
Senior brother and sister had found things they wanted to do, yet junior brother was still quietly doing chores, this didn't seem right.
Hearing this, Feng Juechen lowered his head and pondered for a while, "Let me read some books first to get familiar with this place. If there is an opportunity, I plan to go take a look at the schools here, is that okay senior sister?"
"Alright." Song Jixing nodded, though it was unlikely for Feng Juechen to start from kindergarten.
"Don't worry junior brother, I will help you. As for other things, don't force yourself too much, we will surely find a way back, no need to worry so much about earning money..."
With Yu Qing's salary, they had enough for food for now.
"Thank you, senior sister." Feng Juechen smiled, with a hint of country-toppling charm.
Feng Juechen was one of the four great immortal masters of the cultivation world famed for their looks.
Beauty was both Feng Juechen's weapon, as well as something he was often criticized for. The cultivation world ranked based on strength, but there were also some who lived by their looks, serving others in exchange for cultivation resources. In addition, there were also those whose strength and beauty were on par, exceeding others in strength.
Feng Juechen was of the latter kind.
Among his peers, few could compete with him. Feng Juechen entered the sect a few decades after Song Jixing, yet reached Core Formation around the same time as her. This was not because Feng Juechen's aptitude was better, but his diligence and perseverance far exceeded others.
Feng Juechen's diligence and studiousness were his strengths, while his beauty was innate.
Song Jixing sized up Feng Juechen, her only thought was - no matter what junior brother chooses to do, as long as he doesn't join the entertainment industry it's fine. Otherwise she feared junior brother would become too wildly popular, with too many paparazzi, and she as the cult leader would get caught.
Song Jixing settled Huo Ling'er on the sofa and sat down beside her to open her phone.
Song Jixing, who hadn't checked her phone in a while, discovered her agent had finally messaged her.
