Episode 2.

Ling reached the home of the Qi's. Now,time to go in....but wait,I only have a vest and a short, they'll turn it against me and said that I was fooling around with money boys at Yirong Pavilion,Ling said planning.

(Yirong Pavilion;a brothel for men and women.)

A rich looking lady wearing blue garments passed by and Ling grinned evily. She went near her and touched both her temple and her head and she fainted. She went to a nearby lake, washed away the blood and wore the garments. She went back to the lady and took her to a bed full of money boys at Yirong Pavilion. You're working with the enemy! You left me no choice, lady. Money boys at Yirong will praise me for giving you to them,Ling said and then left her there.

She opened the large castle gates and saw Midari and Xuoru,'sobbing' because they thought that I went 'missing' and 'died'. I don't know. I saw her walking out of her room and she looked like she was going somewhere, Midari said crying. But her last wish was me and her sister,Midari to be happy by marrying each other. And besides she had four children out of wedlock. They aren't mine,Xuoru said playing the sad and innocent card. You're lying! Mommy would never die like that! She said she would survive the torture for us! A young boy said.

What do you mean,Ruru? Midari,big sister,why are you crying? I just went out for a stroll near the cherry blossom tree because it's fall and the stars are extra beautiful and magnificent. Didn't you know that? Ling said innocently.Why? Why didn't you die you slutty *****! Midari thought. You slut! I thought you died! Why are you here?! Xuoru thought. Little sister! You're okay! I thought you were in some kind of danger because you don't know how to cultivate. So I thought you........Midari said crying bitterly. As you see,I'm fine my little cherry blossoms. I said I wouldn't die because I love you,Ling said to the four children standing there crying. Mommy! They said happily and crying tears of joy. Xuan,Haruto,Yuri,Mei......I'll always protect you even if it costs me my life,okay? Ling said with love and compassion as she was hugging them. I swear I will eliminate those who have hurt you. I will make them suffer a gruesome and pain filled death,Hestia's voice thought. As the maids and physicians were dispersing, Midari showed her true colours and said, Why are you still alive you slut! I'll make sure I'll kill you and those brats of yours. And boy,aren't you unlucky? You're marrying the Demon on the Battlefield! He will make you suffer until you regret and kill yourself. Yes. I will make the empress and the elder grandmother not favor you anymore! And we already did you bitch! Xuoru said proudly.

Oh,really? Ling said and went close to them and said as if she were insane,We'll see about that and if you touch my kids......I'd better not tell you because I don't want to ruin the surprise. She said intently and her eyes glowed,full of bloodlust. Then she said sweetly,Kids,let's go inside. I want to cook for you a delicacy that you've never tasted before,okay?Okay,Mommy,they said in sync.

Why did I just feel a chill on my whole body just now? Xuoru and Midari said. She's just a stupid, scared little brat. She doesn't even know how to cultivate. How can she even surpass us,we're at level fifteen and she is below even level one,Midari said. I have something planned for her. I hope Consort Xiao will be happy to oblige,Xuan said while thinking.

Now,wait here while I go prep my ingredients, okay? Ling said with some kind of motherly love. Okay, they said. I have connections to my kitchen back home somehow,I can see it and my weapon room and also my research facility. She grinned and said, Good.....this will make things much more easier for me and I'll make money and rise you from the ground up and take back every single tael that scumbag took from you, Hestia said. But Mommy,how are you going to cook us something coherent and delectable with such limited ingredients and where did you get those clothes? Haruto and Mei said calmly. Who is your father? Xuan and Yuri are calm and innocent like the previous owner of this body but Haruto and Mei emit bloodlust and coldness with their auras. Their father must have been coldblooded to the core,Ling thought.

Haruto,Mei,don't worry. You'll be surprised with what I'm making right now, Ling said from the kitchen. She inhaled deeply and tried to connect with her pantry. She took coffee grounds,coffee powder,baking powder,baking soda and some medicinal fruits. And then she placed them on the table and then she connected with her research facility and took some cotton, elixirs, bandages and antiseptic for their wounds. And placed them in the woven basket on the floor.

There is an oven and a cool place. Wow! At least some of them are merciful...but that doesn't mean I'll just let go of what they've done,no matter how little it may be,I'll punish them the way they deserve,Ling said calmly.

After thirty minutes,she finished making the food and the dessert. It's ready,and I've made a little something for all of you,Ling said and put the food on the table.

Mommy? What is this? I've never seen any food like this before! Yuri said while looking at the food puzzled. It's called soba,now eat up before it gets cold,Ling said and started eating. Okay,they said. They broke off their chopsticks apart and when they took their first bite,it was heavenly. Wow! Mommy! It's delicious! I love it! Haruto said while continuing to stuff his face. Yeah,Mommy,What did you do? It's heavenly! Mei,Yuri and Xuan said.

I'll teach you how to cook all of the dishes I know,but they're alot so keep up,'kay? Ling said calmly as she ate her soba. Okay,they all said. After they finished Yuri asked,Mommy,where is that thing that you told us that you'll give us after we eat? Yeah.....then she went into the cooler and brought out the dessert,cut it into cubes,sprinkled some fruits on them and gave them to eat. What is this Mommy? Mei asked. Just call it......tiramisu. I learnt it from a land that you don't know about yet,Ling said while eating. All of you,eat that candy and see what will happen,Ling pointed it.

They hesitated but they ate it and all their scars and bruises disappeared and their skins were much fairer. Mom,what was that? I don't feel terrible anymore,Mei said. It's an elixir that I made,Ling answered.

The kids washed the dishes and then Ling said, I'm going to the capital to buy you decent clothes and earn a lot of money. Then we can leave here and live a wonderful life just the five of us,okay? Okay,Mommy,they said. Ling made a veil to cover her lower part of the face then went to the capital.

I'm good at everything here,that seems relevant. So,I'll go to the elixir place first then build my own restaurant and then making weapons will be a walk in the park for me,Ling thought. But I'll have to have a representative who will take care of everything because if those bastards know that I'm good at something,they'll just destroy it. I'll have to have a trustworthy person to take care of everything,Ling said while looking at the busy places.

Then she went to an elixir pharmacy. Hello,I'd like to make a pill here and I'll sell it to you if it's relevant, Ling said. If you don't and waste my herbs,I'll kill you! The owner said. O...Okay,Ling stammered. They went to the back room and Ling started mixing herbs. What the hell is this brat doing? The owner thought. There,I'm done,Ling said. *gasp* It's.....I don't believe it! It's the Zhongshan Li Pill! Wait! There is someone who was looking for it! I'll call him right away! The owner said while running outside. After a few minutes,a familiar face appeared at the shop. Here he is. His name is Ming Mitzuzuki. He's been looking for this pill for years! The owner said.

Leave us alone,Ling said coldly. Then he shivered and left. She sat on the table cross legged,removed the veil and said amused, Well, well,well,I'll be damned. Nice to meet you again,Money boy bodyguard. *gasp* You! Of all people,you?! He was ready to remove his sword but Ling swiftly crouched on the table,jumped and touched his temple and he froze in place again. What did you do to me! Ming said struggling. First,I hate it that when you see me,you want kill me. I don't want to break that sword because*licks Ming's forehead* it belonged to someone important to you, Ling said. Then she touched his temple and he returned back to normal. You want my pill because you want to save you three little sisters,she said. What the hell? How did you.....? Ming stammered. Okay,I'll give it to you.....but it's gonna cost you,Ling said bashfully. And your Childe still owes me.

Okay,but come with me please,I'll take you to Childe,Ming said and then they went outside. Ming threw a golden tael on the owner's hands and he looked pleased.

When they got out,Ling looked at a villa a thousand miles away and she was looking at that stranger. Not even a level twenty can spot me from here........ but a little girl who is below level one could. I need to know who she is,the stranger said smiling from the villa.

Ming touched her and they teleported at the entrance of the villa. They went in and went to the back yard and saw him drinking tea.

Long time no see,money boy. Did you forget that you must compensate me? Ling said sitting crossed legged on the green grass. And by the way,why do you keep looking at me? I saw you at that balcony looking at me,she added. Urgh.....how dare you call Childe a money boy? Ming said as he pressed his sword on her neck and blood started oozing. Ling stood up,then at a supernatural speed,she went behind Ming and aimed her finger at his neck. Her nail was grazing him and he started oozing alot of blood. She said coldly and intently, I don't like insolent people like you,Mr. Overprotective. Watch what you say and do,boy! Then she fed him a pill to restore the slit. She touched her neck,saw blood and then licked it from her fingertips and said lazily, What a waste of my blood! Most of it dripped on the ground! For a very adorable and well mannered looking girl,her change of personality at the drop of a hat is really something,Ming thought.

Now.....my compensation,Mister,Ling said. I want all the herbs you can get,she said. As soon as she was given all the herbs,she heard children coming. Daddy! A little girl said. Hey,Dad,A boy said. Your kids? Ling asked. Yeah,he answered. Where's their mother? Ling asked with her piqued curiosity. Their mother is my wife,Maki,he answered.

Did you say......Maki? Ling said with a shocked face then grinned from ear to ear.
