Chapter 18: Familiar Call

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Hey!” Lydia did not expect him to be so ruthless.

Steven had no intention of stopping.

Lydia had no choice but to say, “I hurriedly… I’m willing. I can work!”

Steven stopped and looked back at her with a playful smile. “Are you sure?”

Lydia nodded slightly. “No… but you have to give me food first.”

“You want food without working?”

“How can I work without food?”

“You asked for it.”

“You…”

Steven chuckled. “Face the reality. You have no choice!”

Lydia gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

On second thought, even a beautiful fairy like Alice was working. She could endure it.

Alice heard their conversation in the tent.

She walked out of the tent and smiled. “If you don’t understand, I can teach you.”

Lydia was unhappy with her tone and snorted. “Isn’t it just pulling weeds? Do you think I can’t do such a simple thing?”

“I… I didn’t mean that.” Alice hurriedly shook her head.

Lydia did not want to waste time. She wanted to do something while she still had some strength.

Otherwise, she would really starve to death here.

She came to the farm, found a random spot, and squatted down.

It was just pulling grass. How could she not know how to do such a simple thing!?

Seeing her angry look, Alice looked at Steven worriedly.

Steven smiled. “Let her do it herself.”

“Okay.” Alice nodded.

Steven ate his breakfast and went to the farm.

Lydia squatted in the lush farm, her hands moving without stopping.

She should be a young lady who had not suffered much in the past.

It was because of this that she was so arrogant and could not recognize reality.

No matter how arrogant he was, he had to learn to be smart when he came to his territory.

Ignoring Lydia, he went to open up new fields.

Level 3 food was beneficial to his body. He was fine when he woke up.

He could feel that his body was filled with power, and he could not use it up no matter how hard he tried.

“Ah!”

At this moment, a voice broke the silence.

He stopped what he was doing and looked at the source of the voice. It was from the place where Lydia and the others were weeding.

Steven walked up and asked Bella, who was floating in the air, “Bella, what are you shouting for?”

Bella saw him coming and pointed at Lydia. “Master, she pulled out all the things we planted!”

“Huh?” When Steven heard this, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

He immediately threw away the tool in his hand and came in front of Lydia.

Not only did she pull out the weeds that were growing in the soil, but she also pulled out the saplings that had just grown up.

Steven immediately went forward and grabbed Lydia’s shoulder. “What are you doing!”

“Aren’t you pulling the grass? I’m pulling the grass?” Lydia was still holding a pile of grass in her hand and waved it in front of him.

Steven was speechless. He snatched the crop from her hand. “Look carefully. This is a green vegetable seedling, and this is a weed!”

Lydia frowned. “Aren’t they all the same? So there’s no difference at all, okay?”

“This is called no difference?” Steven felt that his plan went absolutely wrong.

This young lady did not know how to differentiate between grains. If he asked her to work, she would only find trouble.

Lydia muttered, “There’s no difference in the first place.”

Steven looked at her confident manner and laughed in anger. “I say, do you not even know what a crop is and what grass is?”

These words immediately provoked Lydia. She stomped her feet and said, “So what if I do? So what if I don’t? You were the one who asked me to pull the grass. What does it have to do with me if something happens?”

Steven had originally thought that this young lady was tough to deal with. However, he did not expect her to be so difficult to please.

It seemed that he did not know the seriousness of the matter until he showed her a little bit of authority!

He strode in front of Lydia and looked down at her from above.

Lydia was not very tall. She was about 1.65 meters.

In front of him, she appeared very short and weak.

Lydia saw his stern face and felt a wave of pressure.

She took two steps back in fear and said in a trembling voice, “You… what do you want to do?”

“I’ll give you an hour. After that, if you don’t know what grass and crops are, I’ll throw you off the cliff!” Steven said coldly.

“You… you…” Lydia looked at him in surprise, her eyes full of fear.

Steven looked at Alice. “Teach her! If she can’t learn it… throw her down!”

Bella flapped her wings. “I’ll throw her down later!”

Lydia was so scared that she sat on the ground. After that, she had no other thoughts.

Alice came to her and asked gently, “Are you okay?”

Lydia looked at them in fear.

“Don’t be afraid. Master is excellent. As long as you do as he says, nothing will happen.” Alice comforted.

Lydia did not dare to have any other thoughts at the moment. So she could only nod obediently.

Ever since she was young, no one had ever threatened her.

She did not expect to come to this strange place, not only to work but also to be threatened.

This hateful man was obviously not a good person!

She gritted her teeth. Now that she was living under someone else’s roof, she had no other choice!

She stood up from the ground, feeling wronged. She found Alice and Bella staring at her with their heads tilted, not wanting to see them.

Alice smiled and said, “Actually, weeds are very easy to recognize. You will know them very soon. Let’s go.”

Lydia took a deep breath and nodded gently at Alice.

Then, she began to learn which were plants and which were weeds.

An hour passed, and Steven came in front of Lydia and the others.

Alice said first, “Master, she’s brilliant. She learned it in one go.”

Steven chuckled, “If she can’t learn such a simple thing, then there’s something wrong with her brain.”

Lydia could not help but retort, “There’s nothing wrong with my brain!”

Steven looked at the area she was in charge of. “It seems that you have a talent for farming.”

Lydia raised her head and glared at him fiercely.

“Hehe, don’t look at me like that. I took you in and even gave you a job. You should be thanking me.”

Lydia was outraged. “What about the food you said you would give me? Can you give it to me now?”

Steven obviously would not starve her to death. “Follow me.”

Lydia followed him to the residence, and he entered the tent.

He took out a compressed biscuit and a glass of water and handed it to her. “Work hard in the future. I have something better for you.”

Lydia did not believe that she would be so kind as to take the food when she saw it.

She did not care whether the ground was dirty or not. Instead, she went to the foot of the tree and sat down, eating slowly.

The day passed quickly and Lydia was so tired that her entire body was limp.

When she could rest, she saw the cushion outside the tent appear again.

Without thinking, she laid down comfortably on it.

When she was about to fall asleep, the strange cry came from not far away again.

She shivered and sat up abruptly.
