Chapter 1345: Curtis Gets Paid
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Once again relating to how Curtis would leave whenever it was close to noon, Qin Feiyan suddenly understood that he had gone to see this lass.
She hadn’t expected that such an icy cold Curtis would want to curry up to someone else. At the thought of how she had caused him to hesitate (own presumption) a few days back, she felt a hostile sense of exhilaration.
It seemed that this girl’s status in Kurt was merely this much. If he really loved her, he’d reject her at the first instant the other day and not size up her body, hesitating.

Qin Feiyan’s red lips curled up into a beautiful smiling arch and she said, feeling pleased, “It happens that I was looking for you. Your resumé is too simple and you can’t be employed officially, so you can only be considered part-time employment. We settle part-time workers’ wages on Fridays. This is yours.”
Qin Feiyan took out Curtis’s salary from the drawer. It wasn’t her job to issue salaries. However, Curtis was special and his case was rarely handled by others. She also instinctively had the feeling that handing it over to someone else would mess things up. Therefore, she took over all of Curtis’s matters onto herself.
Bai Qingqing opened her mouth wide in pleasant surprise, quickly running over to receive the salary envelope with both hands.
Not only was the envelope thick, but it also felt heavy. Bai Qingqing raised her head, looking stunned. “Isn’t it too much?”
Qin Feiyan secretly mocked her for lacking in knowledge and experience, but she kept a perfectly polite but distant expression on her face. “The salary will naturally be different based on the jobs taken on. The wage that you guys saw on the Internet is for the lowest-tier jobs. There’s naturally no comparison to what Kurt does.”

Bai Qingqing nodded in understanding. Although Qin Feiyan didn’t express it, she sensitively felt that she had embarrassed Curtis. She smiled at Qin Feiyan then took Curtis’s hand and walked out of the office.
In the elevator, Bai Qingqing opened the envelope excitedly. She let out a “wow” and started counting.
“You’re very happy?” Curtis leaned against the elevator’s wall sluggishly, smiling as he looked at her money-loving expression.
“Of course! This is a lot of money! I haven’t seen so much money before!” Bai Qingqing parted some of her attention to look at Curtis for an instant, then turned her gaze back to the money.
Curtis hated money. There were too many strange scents on them. Seeing Bai Qingqing touching the money repeatedly when the elevator landed on the first floor, his cleanliness obsession kicked up and he took the envelope.
“Come, let’s go home.”
Bai Qingqing had counted to 2,000 and felt that she hadn’t even reached half the amount. She made a ‘tsk’ sound with her tongue again. “There’s so much. There must be at least eight to nine thousand there.”
“Is that so?” Only then did Curtis feel a hint of joy, rubbing her head and said, “I’ll bring you to go buy food. You must have been starving these few days.”
“No. I can’t finish the food that you’ve been bringing me, but it’s about time you have a feast. Come, let’s go get good food.”
Bai Qingqing took his hand and skipped a little as she walked to the streets. Curtis let her skip for a little and then carried her on his back after she got tired. He then started to run quickly along the road.
Without any comparison, Bai Qingqing didn’t feel that Curtis’s speed was heaven-defying. She just said, “Slow down a little. Don’t overtake the cars.”

“Mm.”
The two of them found a high-class seafood restaurant. Curtis’s preference for food was lighter. After giving it some thought, Bai Qingqing could only think of seafood as a food that would be up to his alley.
Judging from the interior design, it was clear that the prices at this restaurant would be expensive. However, after taking a look at the thick stack of money in the envelope, she suddenly felt confident and pulled Curtis into the restaurant.
Bai Qingqing’s confidence didn’t last for long. The instant she looked at the menu, her expression became stunned.
A random dish cost one to two hundred yuan, and the slightly better ones would be two to three hundred yuan or even higher. Given Curtis’s appetite, the money would probably not be enough.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
