Chapter 1210: Chapter 691: Debts and Repayment
The worldview of the little witch wasn’t very stable, and Butterfly Ying just thought this older sister, whose fishing skills weren’t that great, was indeed amazing.
And Butterfly Zhen tightly hugged her sister in her arms, then struggled to stand up.
“Sir, I apologize for my previous actions. I don’t expect your forgiveness, but if you ever need anything in the future, please use this to contact us. We two sisters will go to any lengths to repay you.”
Miss Doctor kneeled completely before her benefactor, ashamed, unable to look him in the face.
As she said this, she placed down a bamboo flute as a means of contact, and prepared to leave with her sister. In her mind, her benefactor was likely extremely disgusted with her by now, and after being refused twice, she really had no face to ask for help again from the person who saved her life twice.
She would figure out a way to deal with the Chinese Clan’s pursuit on her own and would do everything in her power to protect herself and her sister. After all, the sisters only had one life left, and if they couldn’t evade it, then it was just fate.
That’s what Butterfly Zhen thought.
Except…
“Hold on, do you really think resurrection comes without a price? If you leave, am I supposed to pay that resurrection fee?”
Dorothy called out to stop Miss Doctor.
This was a loan resurrection, and the homebody witch was the guarantor. If the borrower ran off, the guarantor would have to pay the debt, which was a death sentence for the homebody witch.
Her coffin boards were just barely enough to cover the family’s meal expenses, let alone having the capability to pay someone else’s debt.
“A small thing, five billion Witch Gold Yuan, that’s your resurrection fee and the debt you owe me.”
That’s how she put it.
Actually, normally, the resurrection fee is proportional to the witch’s power—the stronger the witch, the more expensive the resurrection fee. For an elite witch like Miss Doctor, it only takes a small target.
However, this was a loan, and loans always come with interest. Moreover, the Underworld’s interest is incredibly high, and the homebody witch applied for the maximum repayment term of a thousand years.
With the interest compounding, the actual repayment was probably about four billion Witch Gold Yuan.
As for the extra bit?
That’s Dorothy’s compensation for emotional distress and face money. After all, the scene Miss Doctor made earlier scared her.
Weeping, my family, who understands, you do a good deed and almost get extorted, now I’m so sad I forgot my lines…..
Meanwhile, Butterfly Shinobi and Butterfly Ying looked at each other, and the two of them took out their pockets, finally coming up with…
Hmm, a whole hundred Witch Gold Yuan were pinched together.
A hundred coins, indeed one hundred coins, not even enough for Dorothy’s casual meal cost of high-level ingredients for replenishing magic, but it was all the sisters had saved.
One Witch Gold Yuan’s purchasing power was enough for a family of three ordinary witches’ weekly living expenses, so the sisters were actually considered wealthy in the village. After all, Butterfly Zhen’s medical skills were quite good, with many people seeking her out for healing.
However, the sisters’ lifetime savings seemed far out of reach compared to that astronomical debt.
At this moment, Miss Doctor had a thought that perhaps dying directly might’ve been better.
But that thought passed quickly, and she looked at her sister in her arms, then at the benefactor not far away. She gritted her teeth and said.
“Could you leave me an address, sir? I’ll work hard to gather the money.”
Even though she really didn’t know how she could raise so much money, she would devote her life to repaying it, no matter what it took.
“Heh… with your medical skills, even if you’re worn out and selling medicine every day, you couldn’t earn that much.”
Dorothy sneered as she said this.
Butterfly Zhen heard such mockery but was helpless anyway, the benefactor was right, and all she could offer was her medical skills.
Seeing the silent Miss Doctor, the homebody witch waved her hand, and a heap of different treasures flowed from her hand, their radiant glow turning the whole cabin into a dazzling spectacle.
The Butterfly Sisters’ eyes turned into the shape of money. They were not money lovers before, even considering money as nothing but dung, believing having enough for daily uses was enough, often aiding others in the village.
But now, burdened with huge debts, they no longer held that previous high regard; some things, once lost, could never come back.
But what did the benefactor mean by throwing out so much money?
“The treasure here is roughly worth ten billion Witch Gold Yuan in total, and it’s just a small part of the Kameda Mansion’s many treasures. Now do you understand what makes the most money? Practicing medicine can’t save yourself or protect your sister.”
That’s what Dorothy said.
Butterfly Zhen remained silent for a moment, contemplating, but the little witch in her arms regained her clarity.
“Big sister, we don’t want this money, it’s dirty.”
When she heard these riches were looted from the Kameda family, Butterfly Ying looked disdainful, as if she wanted to spit at the glittering treasures.
In response, the homebody witch stroked the head of this innocent little witch, then looked at Miss Doctor.
“Do you think this money is dirty too?”
“Dirty in Kameda’s hands, not clean in yours either, but if it’s in my hands, it’ll become clean.”
After a moment of thought, Butterfly Zhen raised her head and said.
And in response, Dorothy nodded. Then, she directly tossed a Magic Pocket over.
“Indeed, this money isn’t clean in my hands. These despicable guys keep tempting me, and since you say so, I’ll leave it all to you.”
The homebody witch said with a pained expression on her face.
This was the wealthiest she’d ever been in her life—turns out the life of crime is lucrative.
But holding onto this money from backstabbing really didn’t feel safe. She too found it dirty. If Miss Doctor was confident that she could clean it, she should handle it.
“I hope you live up to your words; otherwise, we might see each other again soon. Oh, and don’t miss any monthly payments; I’ll send someone to collect.”
Dorothy said, then took a deep look at the sisters before leaving with the Red Shadow in hand.
She was busy and needed to get back to her role on set, with no extra time to waste here.
After the homebody witch’s silhouette disappeared, the sisters finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Sister, Lord Battosai’s last look was really scary, I’m scared.”
The little witch being held tightened her grip on her sister’s shirt, saying this.
“Don’t worry, we surely won’t meet our benefactor any time soon.”
Butterfly Zhen comforted her sister.
Then, she opened the Magic Pocket in her hand, putting all the treasure in the room inside it, before finally taking out nearly ten million Witch Gold Yuan and putting it into her own pocket.
“Ying, look, we’re rich, at least we have enough to repay the benefactor for the next two months.”
She said this happily, lifting her now bulging wallet.
“I don’t want this dirty money, sister, you shouldn’t take it either.”
The little witch got a bit anxious, shouting this, and looking unhappily at her sister.
Butterfly Zhen wasn’t angry. She just looked earnestly at her pouting sister, explaining.
“This is just the medical fees and medicine costs those samurai lords have owed me for years.”
She then opened the pocket again, taking out some more Gold Coins and putting them into another pocket.
“This is the money Aunt Suzi next door owed for Fish Grass, for working Kameda’s fields for hundreds of years.”
“This is Grandma Xiangzi’s retirement money, for serving the Kameda family all her life, unable to afford a meal, she should enjoy her old age.”
“This is Sister Xiang Nai’s wage for crafting metalwork for Kameda for years, overworked and underpaid…..”
“This is Sister Ah Yue’s medical fee for once working for Kameda and lost a hand.”
………..
“Ying, do you still think this money’s dirty?”
Miss Doctor looked at her sister and said.
The little witch fell silent; she really didn’t know what to say.
“Let’s go, it’s time to deliver this money to its rightful owners.”
Butterfly Zhen put down her sister and took her hand to lead her outside.
There was a flame burning in her eyes.
…the sisters giving away wealth….
