Kashana: Rejecting a Kept Woman's Life! / There's Always a Liberi at an Event... But This Time There Are Two!
The fact that Huang Cao came to Ursus for tourism cannot be kept secret, and Black Snake cannot allow such a big threat to run around freely.
So they had already informed the Emperor of Ursus, but originally intended to observe secretly to avoid directly causing conflict.
However, the Ursus government system had become so corrupt that news spread like wildfire, carried by the flow of people.
However, given Master Huang's status, the Emperor of Ursus did not intend to interfere too much, since he was no match for others here.
What else can we do? We have to swallow our anger even if we're not happy about it.
Ursus has not yet recovered from the aftermath of the Great Rebellion. If it really provokes Utopia, the history of this country may end on the spot.
"You're right, I do need to try my luck. I have no parents, and no one to rely on."
"New student registration is in a few days, and I heard that important person will be coming too. You can prepare in advance."
"My dear sister, my dear Seraphina, I need you as my wingman. Use your Originium Arts to conquer that man! I need your help to judge whether he was happy during the interview. My chances of getting this job depend on you!"
Looking at her best friend's pitiful big eyes, Dianhu could only sigh in the end.
"This is a one-time offer!"
"I knew you were the best. Here's the key to my dorm. I need to go work at a restaurant later to play the piano. The owner is really greedy; I only get five silver coins every two weeks, barely enough to make ends meet."
"The food in Ursus has a unique flavor, but I don't run into any familiar faces from the storyline here."
Huang Cao savored the traditional Ursus borscht, which tasted quite good, but was still a bit boring.
If you really want to meet acquaintances, you'll have to go to Chernobog and bully Zima's still playing in the mud. Just thinking about it makes me laugh.
However, judging from the current timeline, Zima is probably not old enough to play in the mud yet.
"Boss, please continue serving the dishes." Huang Cao glanced at the menu and removed some dishes containing animal offal.
The Ursus waiter shakily carried the tray, which was half his own size, to the back of the restaurant.
This person can eat way too much!
The restaurant owner was thinking to himself, but his actions were anything but hesitant, as the other party paid very readily.
In the current economic climate, even those living in Saint-Junburg probably don't have much spare money.
The person who came in said that they wanted to try all the Ursus specialties today.
This is the wealthiest of all the wealth gods.
During the break between serving the dishes, Kashana, dressed in her work uniform, also came to the front desk. Looking at the mature and sexy female college student in front of her, the boss was somewhat dissatisfied.
Since this woman wasn't late today, I can't find a reason to deduct her salary.
Kashana took a deep breath and methodically walked to the piano, placing her hands on the keys.
At the same time, she placed her top hat on another chair, hoping for a tip from the guests.
A salary of five silver coins is really very, very little.
"Um?"
While enjoying his meal, Master Huang looked up and stared intently at the woman playing the piano, lost in thought.
When did Black Snake's piano playing skills become so bad?
But the next second, Huang Cao discovered the key point.
This Liberi woman playing the piano didn't seem to possess the evil aura of the Black Serpent. Could it be...?
Chapter 496: Kashana: Rejecting Being Kept!
Huang Cao elegantly adjusted the bowler hat on her head, and the one-way mirror on her face seemed to shimmer.
Girl, let me check your remaining value!
Old Snake has a very good eye; it was also responsible for styling his capitalist outfit.
Kashana possesses a gentleness that Ursus women lack; her temperament is graceful and charming, with a hint of unyielding strength beneath her delicate appearance.
Although she wasn't very good at playing the piano, probably only a mediocre player, her face still had a delicate, malnourished look.
Huang Cao wiped her lips with a handkerchief and walked over to Kashana's side.
"Beautiful lady, this gold coin is for you."
The man flipped his hand, and a gold coin appeared in his palm.
This is not a magical trick, but the effect of a special tool.
Since Xi Bao joined the family, Huang Cao, with the help of his wife's abilities, also acquired an item similar to a spatial ring, which finally allowed him to carry a large amount of money.
From now on, there's no need to rob the rich to help the poor when traveling.
"Thank you very much. You must be a great pianist!"
The gold coins fell into the hat next to it, used to solicit tips, making a rustling sound as the fabric rubbed together. The restaurant owner's eyes lit up with greed.
According to the signed contract, this gold coin is a complete windfall, and the restaurant owner is entitled to 80% of it.
One gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins, meaning this woman earned eighty silver coins by playing the piano once.
This woman had worked at the restaurant for almost two months, but the restaurant owner hadn't made much money off her.
Because her piano skills weren't really that good, the restaurant owner would have fired Kashana if it weren't for maintaining the restaurant's image.
Kashana stared intently at the gold coin, thinking to herself that although she wasn't a good pianist, that wasn't a reason for the restaurant owner to exploit her.
Unfortunately, a contract is just a contract...
Kashana could only watch helplessly as the gold coin fell into the restaurant owner's hands, and she still had to say thank you.
"Actually, I can't play the piano. It's just that I often hear certain people talking about it, so I can naturally tell who has better skills."
Kal'tsit can play the piano, and she plays it very well. Although her castle is not very big, it is small but complete, and musical instruments are naturally indispensable.
"I see..."
Kashana gave an awkward yet polite smile, then gracefully sat back down in her seat, ready to continue her work.
Because she wasn't of noble birth and came from a rather ordinary background, learning piano in Ursus required a high level of skill; therefore, she genuinely couldn't play the piano.
After all, even eating has become a luxury, so how could one possibly have time to hone their skills?
Kashana isn't a genius in this area either; she only learned piano in her spare time.
"Madam, would you be interested in working for me? I'll offer you a price you can't refuse: twenty gold coins a month, all you need to do is handle some simple paperwork."
Twenty gold coins a month? What kind of clerical work requires such a high price?
Even the Emperor of Ursus's secretary doesn't earn that much, right?
Twenty gold coins equal two hundred grams of gold, and that's every month.
Kashana had to admit that she had indeed been moved; her full breasts rose and fell with her breath.
There's too much; it's almost filled me up.
But what will be the price?
Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, Kashana's heart trembled violently, and then she smelled the faint fragrance emanating from him.
I'm not good at playing the piano, I only studied history, and I have absolutely no idea how to handle paperwork.
The restaurant owner decided to hire her because he thought she was pretty.
Therefore, the answer is obvious.
This young master who looks like a nobleman must be trying to keep me as a mistress because I'm pretty!
Kashana believes she still has some integrity, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to become a history teacher.
Besides, she believed that Ursus would definitely get better in the future.
Therefore, before they actually starve to death, their future is bright.
"I'm very sorry, sir, your price is indeed very tempting, but I currently have no intention of serving you."
Kashana stood up, bowed slightly, and apologized, while Huang Cao wore an expression of disbelief.
So, lovely girl, what exactly was on your mind during that short minute?
Huang Cao didn't show the exasperation he was hoping for; he was genuinely puzzled as to why Kashana would refuse his invitation.
High salary, little work, do I look like someone who doesn't have money?
"Can you tell me why?" Huang Cao asked.
"I want to prove my worth through my own efforts, rather than becoming someone else's appendage too early, and even less a toy for others to play with."
Kashana's serious expression even drew the attention of the restaurant owner next to her.
Now I understand why Black Serpent took a liking to you. You're just like Talulah —you only look at the surface of things and act unilaterally.
Huang Cao also realized that this girl probably saw him as a nobleman who wanted to keep her as a sugar daddy.
When did I say I wanted to be your sugar daddy?
Looking at Kashana's unwavering spirit, Huang Cao sighed. In fact, he quite admired people like her.
However, sometimes they are too stubborn, and often they tend to misunderstand things.
Take this incident, for example.
Huang Cao didn't even intend to check the remaining value of the Liberi in front of him; he was simply being kind and didn't want such a beautiful bird to fall into the hands of the black snake.
"It's okay. Many people might have mixed feelings in this situation. Don't worry, we'll see each other again soon."
Huang Cao returned to her seat at the table, finished off the remaining dishes, and then prepared to pay the bill and leave.
Kashana was still playing her piano, but the tone had become much more proud and cheerful.
Perhaps it was lamenting that it had once again resisted worldly temptations; it can only be said that it was no accident that this bird was killed by the black snake.
Huang Cao was able to deduce everything while eating. Hei She discovered Kashana's stubbornness and saw the inherent taste and beauty of this bird.
After a series of maneuvers, several years later, Kashana was utterly defeated by life and the darkness of Ursus, and ultimately had no choice but to become the puppet of the Black Serpent.
But...
After finishing his meal, Huang Cao stood at the restaurant entrance for a few minutes, observing the surroundings.
Kashana's temperament seems to be not much different from that in the original storyline; the black fitted outfit makes her look both sexy and intellectual.
If the black snake is using this body right now, Huang Cao thinks it's actually quite suitable.
Never mind, this woman should also be a student of Saint-Junburg. Black Snake will be bringing Talulah to the school to complete the enrollment procedures in a few days.
Even Huang Cao's initial target wasn't her, but the electric arc.
Chapter 497: There are always Liberi during events... but this time there are two!
In the evening, after getting off work, I received twenty silver coins.
Kashana ordered a small dish at the restaurant where she worked, and then began to while away the boring evening with a beer.
As a traditional Ursus woman, Kashana naturally drinks alcohol.
But for her, alcohol was merely a way to alleviate the boredom of life, and she didn't particularly like strong alcohol.
A little beer and a plate of meat dishes are her perfect evening relaxation.
Of course, she doesn't usually spend that much; most of the time it's just a simple salad and cheap beer.
It's just that I earned a lot of silver coins today, which allows me to indulge in meat occasionally.
"Kashana, as your boss, sometimes I really don't understand you. The nobles at noon today had already taken a liking to you. If it's just about making money, there's no need for you to stay here with me."
The restaurant owner tossed the gold coin in his hand and then kissed the image on it.
The table in front of the boss was also covered with gold coins; Master Huang's lunch today was equivalent to his monthly sales in the past.
Moreover, they only ordered very rare ingredients, without considering the price at all.
At the same time, he was easy to talk to, and since the restaurant did not have certain rare ingredients in stock, Master Huang was even willing to wait patiently.
The restaurant owner was quite puzzled, as he hadn't encountered such an easy-going customer in a long time.
