My Mother Has a System but Won't Use It

Chapter 3: Starlight Zone

Starlight Family was one of the three great Families that occupied the Southern Lust City, and they occupied the western part of the city entirely for themselves, No one other than people hailing from the clan was allowed to enter this zone without permission.

The sunlight pierced the coldness of the lands and brightened its landscape, The merchants had already started to set up their wooden shops and some had already set it up.

Starlight family was a very big family, with a total of more than 500 people in its mix and more scattered outside of the city.

And that amount of people was a very good place for small trades and all these people were here for that, to trade some goods.

In essence, all these people were part of one family, but the big number and the fact that most didn't even know the others made them all quite strangers.

Of course, the traders knew each other but the buyers rarely did the traders. Walking through the morning bustle, his face pondering, Han Li silently contemplated.

He didn't actually want to get a Wife, a wife, for the first part, must be someone he loved, but he didn't have anyone like that who could become his wife.

And for the second, a wife came with responsibility and he was as of yet, incapable of bearing it.

And even if he ended up gaining the Power Spark, that won't change for quite a long time because he will have to keep the spark hidden as he cultivated or someone might covet his secrets on how he got a Spark.

Reaching a stall selling vegetables, he was pondering as he walked when suddenly someone called out, "Han Li, boy, come here."

Han Li looked to the side and Fat came into his vision, a mountain of Fat. He chuckled and moved towards him, "Uncle Li, did you get fatter?"

Pang Li looked at the cheeky brat and squinted his eyes, "Hey brat, don't try to fool me again. You have to make me that food again. I will pay, this time for sure."

"Like hell I would do that," Han Li replied with a forced chuckle, "You people worked me so hard and gave me only 20 sacred coins in the end... Give me 200 and I will cook."

"200? Brat, don't you have no shame? Even the restaurant in the inner circle only costs that much!"

Han Li cursed without even blinking, "You fat pig, you really want to scam me again, I know how much that costs."

Restaurants in the inner circle of the Starlight Zone? It cost thousands to eat once there!

Pondering for a while, Pang Li chuckled, "Take this kid, don't say your Uncle Li mistreated you," saying that, the fat man threw a small bag of coins into Han Li's hands.

Surprised, Han Li looked inside and there were about 30 sacred coins inside, shimmering with a golden glow.

"What happened Pang Li? You turned over a new leaf?" seeing the surprising act, an aunty asked from the side.

Pang Li nodded and said, his voice calm, "I have always been forthright, I was just drunk that day and couldn't pay."

In fact, he hadn't seen that the others only paid the kid that much and just came to know of it in the morning, now that he had paid, he felt his heart calm.

Han Li couldn't help but squint, "Okay, Uncle Li, if you want, I will cook. But this time, tell me the price beforehand."

"Okay," Pang Li nodded, irritated that his reputation had been stained, "I will tell you later, Let me ask the others too."

Han Li's cooking was famous among the outer area's traders and he lived off of it, most of them wanted him to cook for their special days and he got paid in return.

It was not a thriving business but it was enough for a family of two. But of course, even though others liked his cooking, to him, it was trash compared to his own mother's cooking.

He was even sure that those dark-faced people who didn't like him around would also fall for her cooking, But he would never let his mother work outside the house.

Especially not in her condition. And he didn't like some men looking at her. She was his mom, no one needed to eat her food.

Actually, he just didn't want to make her work.

Han Li nodded and walked away from Pang Li's shop, he didn't expect to get paid today but it was indeed water in a dry desert.

Now, he had a total of 250 Sacred coins left in his hands. Enough to eat well for two weeks. This was the reason he woke up early and walked all the way here, in the mornings, people tend to be more kind and he ends up getting some business.

He had to use such opportunities wisely. If he could also get two more works after Pang Li's commission, he should barely have enough to spend their life this month with their usual standards.

But he also couldn't help but narcissistically think, what if I become a great Power one day? Someone like the Sacred Lust Demon, his name renowned throughout the entirety of the world.

Wouldn't these days when I worked hard for a plate of food be remembered with fondness?

I might really have to find a wife.

Thinking of that, there was a whore house, hmm, a brothel in the Main city of Southern Lust, the part of the city that was under no one clan's control.

But he was reluctant to just do his deed on a woman and then vanish, that wasn't how he grew up. He was not a spineless man who couldn't even care for the responsibilities that came alongside his women.

Not to mention he didn't have the money. He was broke. Virgins also cost much if he remembered correctly... But he had heard some of the outer circle people boasting they had spent nights with virgins there, so it shouldn't be a truly ludicrous amount.
