Transmigration: Life As A Ger In Ancient Times With My Mystical Snake
Chapter 63: Ch. 31 Part 1

"Abyss essence pill may be a poison but it’s completely harmless as long as I don’t cause it to react, it’s just like signing a contract with me and my family which will affect even your future generations. And for me not to cause it’s reaction...well I’ll talk about that after. For now what i want to say is I’m giving you all two choices. The first choice is to take the abyss essence pill and enslave your lives to my family for eternity which comes with a lot of benefits. Or the second option which is you work for us honestly until the house is completed, then I’ll release you from slavery and hand over your slave deeps to you along with 20 taels of silver for you to go and start your lives afresh somewhere else. The choices are yours to choose, whichever choice you decide I’ll respect that" Yanzhi spoke in a calm yet cold voice, Xiao Ling stood supportively by his side letting him decided whatever decisions he made. Infact Yanzhi’s sudden decision which he wasn’t consulted with was shocking at first, but with such a reasonable and logical decision out in the open and thinking about it more Xiao Ling felt it was a very necessary decision in their lives. At least with the servants being enslaved to them in this manner there wouldn’t be a need to be on guard in their own homes against their servants, although the abyss essence pill may be too overkill but just as Yanzhi said and it’s description, the poison is harmless as long as the person who consumes it doesn’t think or try to harm them.

Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng were in complicated moods having heard of the choices given to them by Yanzhi. Xile stepped forward and took one abyss essence pill from the box and swallowed it without any thoughts, he cupped his hands to YanZhi "i wish to stay with master and mistress, although it’s only been about a day to two with master and mistress and master’s disciples but i know that i won’t regret my decision to stay now. But instead I’ll definitely regret if i give up on this chance when i have finally met owners who treat me good even if it was for two days, i like it here the most." the young child spoke as if he had been thinking about this even before Yanzhi himself.

"I see, you stay loyal to my family and that poison will never act up. But betray my family and you’re guaranteed a painful and excruciating death." Yanzhi warned with a calm face.

"I understand master, Xile will live his days serving master’s family until my last breath" the young child said with his resolution firmed, Xiao Ling couldn’t help but like him more thinking his choice was good.

"What about the both of you?" Yanzhi asked the couple. They both stood muted having complicated thoughts. "Husband let’s stay too" aunty Feng said to Uncle Feng, uncle Feng sighed with his eyes closed and nodded. He cupped to YanZhi after making their decisions "we also wish to stay with the lord, our couples are old and without children. Starting afresh sounds good but honestly without children or anyone with us who would take care of our old couples when the time comes to retire and to be taken care of? Staying here at least the younger servants can take care of us and i believe my Lord and mistress wouldn’t abandon us in our times of needs." uncle Feng said honestly not hiding any of his thoughts, Yanzhi smirked satisfied. "Certainly not, uncle Feng and Aunt Feng need not worry about it since we plan on buying a few more younger servants, they’ll assist you." Xiao Ling answered enthusiastically, but Yanzhi had a different thing in mind. "Our old couple will take the poison since we have not the intention of ever betraying our lord and mistress i believe we wouldn’t be harmed by the poison as the lord said" they both took one abyss essence pill each and swallowed it.

Yanzhi was satiated of the results. He took out a few more boxes from his space in front of them which stunned them seeing things appear in Yanzhi’s hands out of nothing. Yanzhi went on to say "since i promised you good benefits in enslaving your eternity to me then i meant by very good benefits. You too old people need not to worry about aging and growing and you need not worry about dying" the servants had confused looks from his words. "What does my Lord means by that?" uncle Feng asked respectfully. But Yanzhi ignored his question and instead instructed "uncle Feng and Aunt Feng take one each spiritual enhancing elixir, it’ll help promote your soul force." the couples swallowed the pills as instructed, they suddenly felt refreshed after taking the pills. They didn’t understand the words of Yanzhi but hearing him say elixir and the sudden refreshness in their bodies they could tell that what they were given was a good thing, it was no news to people about martial artists having elixirs and good things, they were more convinced of the good benefits Yanzhi promised them. "Master?!" Xile who wasn’t given called out anxiously. "Be patient little one, i have something else to give you. Instead of martial arts i have decided to teach you cultivation and undertake you on the path of immortality, your body aptitude seems to be good for cultivation but these old things are long past the time to start cultivating." the servants were shocked by his words.

"My Lord is an immortal cultivator?!" uncle Feng asked what they all wanted to ask with stunned expression. They were but only servants who didn’t know many things and about the Jianghu world but working for wealthy families they have heard one or two things about immortal cultivators. Yanzhi didn’t answered their questions and ignored them, but seeing the smug look on Xiao Ling’s face they all quickly kowtowed "we have seen the immortal master" they said in unison. "Get up" Yanzhi ordered and they did as told. They were all thankful of deciding to stay instead of leaving, to work for an immortal cultivator even aristocrat families would want to become servants for immortal cultivators let alone nobodies like them who coincidentally got that chance.

"With this elixirs you age back 5 years" Yanzhi announced making everyone stunned, Xiao Ling looked at him as if he was looking at a walking treasure cave. Having all such good things on him it was baffling, having used appraisal on the aging elixirs Xiao Ling got to know that they were also 2 tier low level elixirs including all elixirs Yanzhi brought out. After the couple swallowed the pills their body aged back at fast pace as Yanzhi said. "Ahhh! Aunty Feng you look younger than you were just a moment ago!" Xile shouted announcing to the couple. "Husband you look younger!" Aunty Feng added, they rubbed their faces with excitements and shock thinking that everything happening was surreal, it was very thrilling. "Truly i don’t feel my bones stiff and aching at all!" uncle Feng said with praise. "My Lord this servant will serve you and your family with my everything, our couple’s lives belongs to the lord" the couple bowed saying in an appreciative and humble tones. "i don’t need your praises these elixirs are useless to me" Yanzhi’s sudden nonchalant words made them dumbstruck, the cheerful mood ceased leaving only speechless servants and sighing Xiao Ling. He took out two more pills passing them to the now quiet and stunned old couples "this is a longevity elixir which extends your mortal lives by 10 more years. Everything i gave you here are only 2 tier low grade elixirs, you can’t withstand the spiritual energy from mid grade and high grade elixirs let alone higher tier elixirs. I’ll provide you with the 2 tier low grade elixirs every three months after your body has fully absorbed the ones you consumed." he stated.

"Longevity?! My Lord! We...our old lives can be prolonged?!" Aunty Feng asked with excited tone. "En. Since you can’t use qi to sustain and prolong your lives, I’ll provide you with elixirs. But Xile you’re different, you’ll cultivate and use your qi instead of elixirs. But that doesn’t mean i won’t provide you with elixirs, I’ll surely provide you with good elixirs to aide you in cultivation." Yanzhi explained calmly, Xile who was still waiting anxiously for his turn nodded in understanding. They left the house after distributing the elixirs to the couples, on the way to the mountain Xiao Ling who was dying to know the sudden decision of Yanzhi asked.

"Xiang gong....what brought about such a sudden decision?" he glanced sideway to Yanzhi who was walking elegantly and effortless at his side.

"Do you reject my decision?" Yanzhi returned back with a question. "No...that’s not it. Xiang gong whatever decisions you decide which is for the benefits of our family, i do not reject. And since this decision is also for our benefits how can I dislike it? I just wanted to know, i can tell it wasn’t a decision which you’ve long thought about but instead it was a decision you just came up with." Xiao Ling spoke with seriousness. Yanzhi smiled and went on to say "little wife knows me best."
