After the flying saucer captured the entire sect, I became very popular among the stars.

"You have grown up, Xiaoyao." Bai Yuejian shed tears of relief.

"Don't look like you saw your daughter getting married! Stop watching TV shows!"

"Okay, let's get down to business." Senior sister's face changed faster than she could turn the book.

"Junior sister, your idea is right. Only by finding ways to make money can you survive in the world of gods and humans, but you can't let go of your cultivation.

Today, Tianhaishi's spiritual energy is almost zero and is not suitable for cultivation at all. We don't care, but Xiaoye can't wait. Her age is the easiest time to get started. If it's a few years later, I'm afraid it will delay her growth. "

"So what does Senior Sister mean?"

"We still don't know when we can go back, so we must make long-term plans. First, we need to restore our cultivation as soon as possible, which is fundamental; second, we also need to develop our own power on Lingyuan Star, so that we will not be controlled by others everywhere. So we'd better do it separately."

"Senior sister, I understand! As Xiaoye's master, I must take good care of her..."

"You stay here."

Chu Yao has a bitter face.

"Why! I also want to go out to play... No, I mean to take Xiaoye with me."

"That's it, I don't trust you to take her out! I have already thought about it. Lingyuan Star is so big, there is no way that the Beishan Mine is the only place suitable for cultivation. In a few days, I will take her Walk."

"You just want to watch the finale of 'Escape' in the supermarket at the corner of the street..."

The senior sister turned her head seriously, as if she didn't hear Chu Yao's words.

——

Three days later, Chu Yao said goodbye to the two of them outside the city.

Xiaoye finally chose to agree. She had no worries in Tianhai and had nowhere to go. After hearing Chu Yao tell her story, she also wanted to go out and see the world.

"Hey, we are all busy, so be busy." Chu Yao was like a lonely old man left behind, and began to think about his next plan.

The slightly dim sunlight shines from overhead, leaving long shadows on the streets and alleys of various high-rise buildings. The sky is cold and gloomy, not only because of the unique climate of Lingyuan Star, but also because of the looming haze of urban industry.

Chu Yao is now in the dark street area of ​​the Eighth Ring Road in Tianhai City.

Not counting the small towns outside the city, the real urban area of ​​Tianhai can be divided into rings one to ten. Within the fourth ring road is the central area; from the fifth to the seventh ring road are the civilian areas; from the eighth to the tenth ring road are the lawless dark streets.

The narrow alleys are intricate, the old walls are covered with graffiti and small advertisements, and the disorderly wires are tangled into a tangled web overhead.

Describes the haggard drug addict, the homeless man living in the corner, the street girl wearing heavy makeup, the sneaky hawker...

The deeper you go, the more people like this you see.

The Eighth Ring Road and the Seventh Ring Road are obviously separated by a street, but their appearance is completely different.

The majestic and beautiful Tianhai City exposed a rotten corner of it on the edge of the city.

It seems that no matter which civilization, there is such a part of abandoned people. Even if you are as developed as a heavenly being, you are no exception.

The basement where Chu Yao and the others took refuge before was between the seventh and eighth rings. Comparing it, she felt a little emotional, but what she felt more in her heart was an inexplicable sense of peace.

Since there are still places such as dark streets that the law enforcement bureau cannot control, then Ari Company does not have a single hand on Lingyuan Planet.

She has been practicing as a mortal until now, and has walked through many places similar to dark streets on Feng Yuan Star. Although this place is chaotic, for Chu Yao, it feels like returning to his hometown.

Give me time to develop, and I can always fly into the sky!

Huh, just wait and see, Senior Sister, I will surprise you when you come back...

That's what he said, but Chu Yao was also a little confused at the moment. There was another reason why she came to the dark street.

She is Kuroto.

Chu Yao tried to find a job within the Seventh Ring Road a few days ago. She had already set her conditions very low, but when all the bosses heard that she could not show her identity documents, they immediately got up to see the customers off.

All serious Tianhai citizens have something called an ID card, which is proof of identity. Naturally, an outsider like Chu Yao does not have one.

Fortunately, the last boss was kind enough (?) and suggested that she try the dark streets, as there are no rules here.

"Would you like to buy a CD, Miss? It's four yuan a piece, three yuan ten..."

"If you don't want to buy it, don't buy it. Return it!" Chu Yao said impatiently and dismissed a vendor who was close to him.

I can’t buy it even if I want to, I have no money!

As she walked, she saw a small restaurant at the corner of a certain street with a sign looking for handymen:

"We are looking for a kitchen helper. There is no limit to male or female, and no age limit. Two thousand a month, including food and accommodation."

Hey, food and accommodation are included, this is good!

First, she had a place to live. She didn't want to live in that damp basement forever.

Chu Yao opened the door and walked in. The shop owner was a fat middle-aged aunt, who was lying at the front desk and looking at Feiyu in boredom. There was a lot of movement.

“Feiyu” is an app for watching short videos, which is available on almost every Celestial being’s mobile phone.

Chu Yao looked around. The store was very small, with five or six wooden tables that were old and white, and various posters were posted on the walls.

Small, but not messy, looks very neat.

"What do you want to eat? The menu is on the wall over there. Take a look at it yourself." The aunt glanced up, then concentrated on scrolling through her phone.

"Madam boss, are you still looking for a cook? I see a notice hanging outside the door."

The landlady was stunned, and finally looked up at Chu Yao seriously, her eyes scanning back and forth over her body.

"Hi, of course."

The landlady's eyes were filled with confusion, as if she was hesitant to speak.

"Why, I don't look like I can work?"

It really doesn't look like it.

Chu Yao is now wearing a pair of jeans with some slits, a purple and black sweatshirt on his upper body, and a baseball cap on his head.

The security uniform she wore earlier had been thrown away, and she couldn't keep wearing that uniform because it was too eye-catching.

As for the origin of this suit of clothes... Ahem, don't ask me, ask your senior sister.

In addition, she also cut off half of her waist-length hair. Don't worry, she can restore it at any time with her cultivation.

Dressed like this, she looks like a girl on the street, not like a worker.

"Girl, listen to my aunt's advice. It's normal for you to quarrel with your family at your age..."

The landlady regarded her as a runaway student.

"I really came here to work..." Chu Yao was a little dumbfounded.

"We don't recruit minors here."

"I'm an adult, I just turned eighteen this year!"

Chu Yaoyao will always be eighteen!

The landlady still didn't believe it. So Chu Yao used his sharp tongue and began to rub him the wrong way, finally impressing the other party.

"Okay, okay, then stay here with me for now. Call your family when you have time, don't let them worry..." The landlady has already identified Chu Yao's character as a "girl who ran away from home" and made some assumptions in her head An eighty-episode family ethics drama was released.

"May I have your name?"

"My name is Chu...Chu Ye. Just call me Xiaoye."

To be cautious, it's better not to give your real name.

"Okay, Xiaoye, you go to the kitchen in the back first." After the boss lady finished speaking, she turned around and shouted:

"Old man! The helper has been found."

"knew!"

Chu Yao followed the sound and saw a man with a vicissitudes of life in the kitchen. As expected, this is a small shop, run only by this couple.

The man was a little surprised when he saw Chu Yao's appearance. He just asked Chu Yao to try cutting some vegetables or something first, and then he was shocked to find that the little girl was good at knife skills and seemed to be very accustomed to working in the kitchen.

"It's not easy, little girl. Have you done this before?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I apply for the job?"

Not only did she do it before, she had this kind of background before practicing, working as a busboy in a restaurant, helping as a cook, and doing everything.

Following the boss's instructions, Chu Yao cut a magical blue cabbage into small pieces and put it in a small bowl for later use in an orderly manner.

"Well, OK, qualified! My surname is Hou, so there is no need to call me boss. You can call me Uncle Hou. The person collecting the bills outside is my wife. Don't worry now. I will get busy when lunch time comes. I will I’ll arrange a place to stay with you.”

Chu Yao followed Uncle Hou from the back door to the next room, and was led into a clean small room by him.

There is a small bed, a complete table, chairs and benches, and a bookshelf with books and some small items on it.

"You can live here first. It used to be my son's house, and it has been tidied up now."

"Your son is now..." Chu Yao actually felt that Uncle Hou looked familiar just now.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

"Oh, let's not mention that brat! He said he was going out to pursue a career, but he ended up running away for several years without even a phone call." As Uncle Hou spoke, he lit up a cigarette and started smoking.

"He wanted to be strong since he was a child. He didn't say anything to his family and only wanted to make a lot of money. In fact, no matter how much money he made, what would happen? As parents, we just want our children to be safe...

I made you laugh, little girl, I said this a lot when I mentioned him. You rest here first, I'll call you later when I'm busy. "

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Hou."

"Well, it's okay. You should always call your family when you have time. Don't be like this kid of mine who makes people think about you all day long." Uncle Hou sighed and walked away.

Family?...

Chu Yao's parents have passed away long ago. Monks have a long lifespan, but mortals can't. She also experienced the farewell of her loved ones back then.

The Chu family is still there, but to her, it is no longer the Chu family it once was.

When all the familiar people were reduced to dirt, only blood ties remained between those clan members who had lasted for several generations and her.

Nowadays, the only person she can call family is her senior sister. Well, there is also Xiaoye.

Then there are the peers and disciples of Tianyin Sect.

One name after another came to mind.

You all should live well for me, and I will pick you up one by one when I become rich!

Chu Yao lay down on the small bed and rolled around comfortably, like a kitten.

No matter what, I finally have a place to live, which is very gratifying.

As for this Uncle Hou, Chu Yao was almost certain that he was Shouhou's father. The boss lady should be his mother.

It was the man surnamed Hou who tried to steal her things in the mine but was later bribed.

But she still resisted the idea of ​​speaking.

Chu Yao remembered that on the day of their escape, Shouhou grabbed the car that was following them, but she was not sure whether they succeeded in escaping in the end.

Rather than causing the old couple only more troubles, let them still believe that their children are wandering around outside.

I pity the hearts of parents in the world.
