12: Train the Servant

Chapter 12: Train the Servant

They reached the store that Zexel bought before and let them use the rooms on the second floor. She gave them a set of three clothes each and let them rest for a while because she would do something inside.

Zexel went to the most hidden corner of the restaurant and used her Lava that she learned from cultivation. She melted the floor until it reached the certain height that she wanted to reach.

After a while, she controlled the lava to spread from the ground until it reached the certain width that she wanted. After that, she sucked the remaining lava inside.

After a while, she used her wood and fire to light up the whole area. Then she used her Earth power to polish every wall of the surrounding.

She built rooms inside using her wood power, and each of the rooms had a cabinet, bed, and table.

Then in the space that she left before the entrance, she built a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and dining area for all of them.

Then she used her solar power to light up the whole place. She could now see everything in her sight.

Zexel sat for a while and wiped her sweat. Then she used her water power to have a drink.

After just a while, she continued to decorate the whole place using her power.

Her innate power was not inferior to Fan Yaoli's power. They both had all the power attributes after the transmigration.

And it was like a cheat towards this world.

It was already lunchtime when Zexel finished the whole area. She made sure that the 30 servants she bought would have a comfortable living inside that place. Then all of them ate with the manager whom she hired before.

Zexel happily chatted with others while eating, and she let a servant. After they ate, Zexel grabbed some paper and a brush with ink. She began to write a lot of numbers and write the English numbers in Chinese letters.

After she finished writing everything, she let them fall in line according to their gender.

"Do you all have names?" she asked.

"Miss Zexel, please grant us names. Nubi doesn't have names," the female who spoke before was also the one who replied to her.

"Hmm, this Lady is not good at naming, so this Lady will just give you random numbers," Zexel said.

A lot of them expected to have names like Yi, Er, San, Si, Wu, and the rest of the Chinese numbers, but Zexel wanted to give them English numbers for their names.

"Because you are the person who likes to represent all of them, this Lady will grant you the name One," she gave her a paper she had just written before she let them fall in line.

One became shocked because she never heard that word, but it was pleasing to her ears. She happily opened the paper, and she saw unfamiliar symbols on the paper.

She turned the paper upside down, but she still could not understand the symbol.

Every one of them did have numbers, the way their names were written in Chinese, and their first role towards the restaurant. One got the Head Chef role, so she patiently waited for Zexel's new command to them.

The odd numbers were for females while the even were with males. Everyone was happy towards their new names because it was the first time they heard about such names.

"I know everyone saw your papers, and they had unfamiliar symbols. Those symbols will represent you, so let’s go to your new rooms," Zexel invited them to their haven, and everyone was shocked at the interior design of the place.

It was all from modern design, so it looked like an extravagant place for all of them. "Miss, we cannot accept this kind of generosity," Two said, the leader of the male servants.

All of them nodded, but Zexel smiled at them. "Just be loyal and do everything that this Lady wants, and you will all be led to a good life. Now find the same symbol on each door, and that will be your new room. Just like what this Lady promised you, this Lady will treat you nicely," Zexel said.

Everyone was grateful towards her, and the standing of Zexel in their hearts leveled up to a whole new level. They were now thanking Buddha for giving them a good Master like Zexel. They found their own symbol and went back to where Zexel was sitting.

"Alright, for now, this Lady will diagnose each of you so that this Lady will know what she needs to do for your cultivation. Then tomorrow, this Lady will give you a schedule for your training. Your roles in the restaurant—training in the morning, and cultivation training after lunch. This Lady will train you personally for one month, then I’ll assign someone to continue your training. For now, enjoy your remaining time for yourself. Make a tour if you want. This Lady now needs to go back to our house," Zexel said.

"Thank you, Miss Zexel," everyone said while bowing to her.

In one month, she would open the restaurant and let the money flow within her hands. But for now, she needed to settle everything she could so that everything would be smooth for her.

She decided to help her sister to cultivate now, so she went to her sister’s Pavilion to teach her.

After a lot of hours, they stopped from cultivating and ate together. "Mei-Mei, thank you for all your help to me. It really makes me feel that I am still a human who can experience happiness," Fan Yaoli said while smiling at Zexel. Zexel just nodded to her.

"By the way, you have an engagement to Crown Prince Xuanze Wangye[1] Feng Guan Xi, right? How come that I don’t see him visiting you?" Zexel said casually.

Fan Yaoli stopped from eating as if she remembered something. After a while, she smiled bitterly because the Crown Prince never even bothered to come to her.

"Maybe he’s busy, Hua Mei-Mei. You know, Crown Prince has a lot of things to do," she replied to Zexel, but not to inform her, but to make herself believe that it was the truth.
