I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 134: Elder Sister

The night sky is clear, dotted with stars.

Zhang Yuan set up a clay pot over the bonfire, pouring in water, rice, and cured meat to cook.

Finally, he added two handfuls of freshly dug wild vegetables, sprinkling a bit of salt as seasoning.

This was a steaming, fragrant pot of porridge with vegetables and meat, their dinner for him and Liu Seventh Lady!

Zhang Yuan served a bowl each for himself and Liu Seventh Lady.

Liu Seventh Lady took a sip and praised, "Not bad culinary skills."

Zhang Yuan smiled without saying a word.

In his past life, he was a food enthusiast, and due to staying home long term, he had taught himself some cooking skills.

Although he couldn’t compare to a professional chef,

in this life, satisfying his palate was not a problem.

For this adventure, Zhang Yuan had deliberately brought some cooking utensils and tableware, as well as rice and meat ingredients.

Ensuring that on the road, he wouldn’t neglect his stomach.

"Sister Qiqi!"

At this moment, a few youngsters suddenly appeared from nowhere, running to the tent.

These kids were around seven or eight or about ten years old, all in tattered clothes, malnourished and thin.

There were both boys and girls.

They had smelled the aroma of the rice porridge.

Some licked their lips, others swallowed, their eyes filled with a look of longing.

Liu Seventh Lady smiled and asked, "Want to drink porridge?"

The children all nodded: "Yes!"

Liu Seventh Lady’s eyes curved, "Then quickly get bowls, everyone gets a share!"

The group of children immediately scattered, running faster than rabbits.

Zhang Yuan, curious: "Do you know them?"

Liu Seventh Lady sighed.

It turned out that these children were orphans, living outside Guangping County Town, relying on begging or petty theft around the Wild Market.

They were like wild grass growing on barren land, doing their best to survive.

Liu Seventh Lady often came to the Wild Market and felt sorry for these children, so she would always give them some food and a little money.

Thus establishing a bit of a connection.

"I was abandoned when I was very young, without the care of parents."

The robust woman stared at the crackling bonfire before her, the bright warm light shining on the birthmark on her face: "Seeing these children who also have no parents, I can’t help but want to help them."

She lowered her head and asked, "Do you think I’m being too sentimental?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head.

He finally understood why Liu Seventh Lady, who had the strength of a Tier Three Transformation Realm, couldn’t even produce three Copper Plates.

Most likely, she spent all the silver and silver coins she earned to support these homeless children.

Zhang Yuan hadn’t expected the other’s past to be so tragic.

In comparison, he was considered quite fortunate.

Liu Seventh Lady glanced at him, then said, "You don’t need to feel sorry for me, I was fortunate enough to meet a mentor who was very kind to me, guiding me in martial arts and life’s lessons."

Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but ask, "So where is your mentor now?"

"My mentor is a wandering Daoist,"

Liu Seventh Lady looked up at the night sky, saying wistfully, "He raised me for fifteen years and one day left without a word."

"I’ve been looking for him all these years."

"But I’ve never found him."

Speaking of her mentor, Liu Seventh Lady’s eyes were filled with admiration.

There was also a touch of resentment: "I just want to ask him why he abandoned me!"

Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment, then replied, "He surely has his own reasons, or he doesn’t want to implicate you."

After fifteen years of nurturing, there had to be a bond like father and daughter; it was impossible to sever ties so decisively without reason.

"Do you really think so?"

Liu Seventh Lady’s eyes lit up, "I guessed that’s the case!"

Zhang Yuan smiled.

He sighed inwardly.

However, Liu Seventh Lady’s mood was visibly lifted.

She pulled out a thick stack of bounty notices, saying excitedly, "Zhang Yuan, your archery is superb, are you interested in joining me to catch wanted criminals?"

"Oh yes!"

Liu Seventh Lady suddenly remembered something and handed a few silver notes to Zhang Yuan: "These are returned to you, those few horses sold for quite a bit of silver, enough to last me a while."

She said resentfully, "They should’ve sold for a higher price, but the merchants at the Wild Market saw I was in a hurry to sell and teamed up to drive the price down. I couldn’t afford to keep them, so had to sell cheap to those conniving traders."

"Sometimes I just want to chop them into mincemeat for the dogs!"

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "That’s not right; dogs are innocent, how can you feed them rotten meat?"

Liu Seventh Lady chuckled, "You’re right!"

She looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "Zhang Yuan, you’re a good person, I’m serious, we’ll split the bounty money fifty-fifty."

Drawing the topic back.

Zhang Yuan scratched his head: "Seventh Lady, I forgot to tell you, I’m the Battle Hall Incense Master of the Furious Whale Gang Linhe Sub-Branch, and I’m on a mission, so I can’t join you in roaming the world."

He had somewhat guessed before.

And now, he was completely sure that Liu Seventh Lady was a Bounty Hunter!

Bounty Hunters were Wandering Heroes specializing in capturing wanted criminals. Zhang Yuan had heard about them before, but had never seen one in person.

He pushed the silver notes Liu Seventh Lady handed him back: "Seventh Lady, you should keep it and use it to help the poor kids!"

Liu Seventh Lady withdrew her hand, staring at Zhang Yuan blankly.

This robust woman suddenly asked, "Zhang Yuan, do you look down on me?"

Zhang Yuan was startled: "No."

Heavens above, he only had respect for Liu Seventh Lady, without a trace of disdain in his heart.

Liu Seventh Lady snorted coldly, saying, "You’re a grand Incense Master of the Furious Whale Gang, and I’m just an unwanted ugly person, I understand you not wanting to be associated with me, and I definitely won’t cling to you!"

Her expression turned cold and indifferent, with a deep sadness in her eyes.

Zhang Yuan was utterly wronged and, in a moment of heat, blurted out, "Seventh Lady, I really don’t look down on you, if you don’t believe me, let’s swear to become sworn siblings right now!"

Right as he spoke, Liu Seventh Lady’s lips curled into a sly smile, "You said it, a gentleman’s word is his bond, a man can’t go back on his word!"

In her eyes, there was no sign of sadness!

Zhang Yuan: "..."

Seeing his stunned expression, Liu Seventh Lady chuckled, "Just kidding, you don’t have to take it seriously."

But as Zhang Yuan came to his senses, gazing earnestly into her eyes, he said honestly, "No, I’m serious too. I want to acknowledge you as my sister, and if you don’t agree, then you’re looking down on me!"

Although he was initially impulsive,

at this moment, Zhang Yuan was very calm and sincere.

In this world, he had no other relatives apart from his mother.

Having an extra sister would be nice.

Liu Seventh Lady was visibly flustered, instinctively avoiding Zhang Yuan’s gaze: "What nonsense are you talking about, I don’t understand."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Then I’ll call you Seventh Sister from now on!"
