Chapter 163: Chapter 163: VoidBorn

The head butler heaved a sigh of relief,

"As long as she can be cured, we can wait for a long time!"

Gu Jin nodded.

Suddenly the middle-aged woman asked,

"So is the deal done?"

"Awooo!" Si Kai shouted angrily.

Gu Jin chuckled and patted Si Kai’s back to soothe him.

"I was joking, how could I give away my little brother."

"Little brother?" The maids were stunned.

"Yes, my dear little brother ." Gu Jin said with a smile and Si Kai’s eyes lit up.

He finally relaxed and snorted but his face had a happy smile.

Gu Jin returned to her room and started to write down a list of herbs required for poison.

....

In Capital.

Long Yifan was sitting in the conference room with some elders of the Long family.

The atmosphere was heavy and the elders were arguing with each other as if they would kill each other any second.

Long Yifan stood up and left the conference room when he felt, he couldn’t breathe anymore.

The elders froze and stared at Long Yifan’s back before muttering one by one,

"He is too arrogant. Thank god he is not the heir."

"Exactly, all he knows is how to bully others and take advantage. God knows how many enemies he has made so far!"

"Hmph! Even with all those resources he is just at Advance Rank, from the looks of it, he will at most reach Emperor Level!

"Yes."

"We should be thankful that we made Yeiling the heir!"

"Yes! I have heard that he is in seclusion and soon be reaching the Super Rank. Such a smart kid!"

Long Yifan heard all those comments but didn’t react.

If they knew about his wealth, identity, and connections he has, god knows what dirty tricks they would use to get him back.

As he walked back to his room, his phone started to ring.

Long Yifan glanced at the caller and his eyes turned cold.

He coldly threw the phone on one side and started to meditate.

...

Gu Jin returned to her room and entered her space.

She placed Si Kai on the ground and asked,

"So tell me, do you want to have a day off and go on some fun trip or do you want to cultivate?"

Si Kai hesitated.

Gu Jin was surprised and asked,

"What happened? You can choose any one of the options, I am ready to fulfill it. Oh, are you worried about resources? Don’t worry, just tell me what you want, and I will get it for you."

"Sister you don’t need to, the resources are already present in the space." Si Kai said.

"Huh? What?" Gu Jin raised an eyebrow.

"Sister remember the pouch you got after fighting those thugs last time." Si Kai reminded.

Gu Jin nodded.

Last to last time when she bought the Fire Mystic Seed named "Heal", she offended a powerful guy and he asked his bodyguards to kill her.

Gu Jin had killed them all instead and stole their storage rings at that time.

Si Kai explained,

"Remember you found some cores in it and thought it was useless so you tossed it away? I put it with me and realized that the cores required for the next stage are the ones present in the storage rings!"

Gu Jin was surprised.

For once her luck was good!

Si kai continued,

"However there is a problem."

Gu Jin: "..." I celebrated too early!

"Sister, do you remember for how long I have stayed away from you?"

"Almost 5 months." Gu Jin answered

"Correct. To reach the Beast Trainer Rank I required 5 months. To reach the Beast Lord Rank I would require at least 50 months." Si Kai said in a small voice.

Gu Jin was shocked.

"50 months? 4 years and 2 months?"

"Yes." Si Kai said in a sad voice.

Gu Jin instantly suppressed her sadness and said,

"It’s alright, you can always take a break in between. Not to mention, you will be only 10 years by then. To be a Beast Lord by then is already a very big achievement."

Si Kai hesitated and dropped another bombshell,

"Sister, I can’t stop cultivating in between."

"What the..." This time Gu Jin couldn’t stop herself.

"Sister, last time when I stopped cultivating in between, I had to start again from the beginning, I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to put pressure on you." Si Kai blinked his eyes.

Gu Jin’s heart melted and she hugged him tightly,

"You should have said it before! I would have hurriedly collected all the resources."

Si Kai remained silent.

Only he knew how hard it was for Gu Jin to collect the resources.

She didn’t have any sponsors and would have to work all day and night just so she could have enough money to buy resources.

How could he tell her to hurry up when she was already trying her best?

He was happy to have her in his life.

She was the only good thing that had happened to him.

What if she undertakes a dangerous task to earn quick cash? How would he be able to live?

Unaware of Si Kai’s thoughts, Gu Jin said with a heavy heart,

"Let’s spend more time before you go into seclusion."

Si Kai nodded.

Hence for the next few weeks, the siblings had fun.

They visited some amusement parks and also went on a shopping spree.

Today was their last day of spending time together and after a brief discussion, they decided to explore the market.

........

4 days ago.

"No! You can’t live here anymore! You have to leave!" The director of the orphanage said in a stern tone.

The little girl was silent before she nodded.

She didn’t want to leave the orphanage, especially when she didn’t even have any place to live.

The director of the orphanage didn’t have any mercy for the little girl.

Just yesterday, the Mana Awakening test was conducted.

It was alright if the little girl didn’t awaken or awaken a weak mana, but the little girl’s body turned out to be Voidborn Body type.

The one who sucks resources from the surrounding but doesn’t have any magic power at all!

Meaning even if she tries her entire life and absorbs all the treasures, she would never be able to awaken a single element.

The director of the orphanage remembered an unreasonable boy who too had awakened Voidborn and asked the director to raise him till old age.

When the director refused, the boy threatened to kill other children.

In the end, he took 97% of the money saved by the director and left the orphanage.

From then on, the orphanage’s situation changed drastically and the old director had a trauma.

He would personally ensure from then on that, no child who had Voidborn body type stays in the orphanage.

Looking at the blank expression on the little girl’s face, the old director’s heart melted but he still didn’t dare to take risks.

The little girl wandered for a long time before walking towards the cemetery.

She doesn’t have a home, doesn’t have a family, doesn’t have magic potential, and doesn’t have any support.

Why should she even live?

To find her father?

The little girl chuckled bitterly.

Even if she wanted to find her father, she would have to wait for an eternity...

After all, her father was in a place that she could never reach.

She doesn’t have magic potential and money.

The guard was on holiday, so no one was there to care about the little girl.

The little girl hugged her grandma’s tombstone and sat there in a daze.

It looked like she was waiting for death.

Two days passed and the little girl only left the tombstones when she wanted to use the washroom.

Other times she latched herself on the tombstone.

Her hair became messy, her clothes were tattered and her face was covered with dirt.

She looked like a beggar.

"Grandma, why did you leave? Do you know how lonely I am?" She muttered in a hoarse voice.

That night the girl had a dream.

In the dream, she saw her grandmother, who sweetly called her to her side and said,

"Don’t waste your time dear. You should live well, I don’t want to see you suffer."

The little girl’s eyes suddenly filled with tears and she refused,

"I don’t want to! You don’t know, how difficult it is to survive Grandma! No one wants me and I don’t have a reason to live anyway."

"Don’t you want to find your father?" The grandma asked kindly.

"I..." The little girl turned silent.

"See, you want to find him. But since you think that it is difficult you don’t want to try." The grandma chided her.

The little girl lowered her head with shame when her thoughts were exposed.

"You are my granddaughter, how can you give up like this? Be strong. Show some backbone and maybe a miracle will happen."
