Just another day with my maids...
🕑 Added 2021-05-16 13:46:02 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 93 ---
Two years have passed since Yunlong saved Zhu Zhuqing and made her one of his maids.
Not only have they grown a lot in these years, but they also became more powerful than before.
Star Luo City's North District.
A second-story building firmly stood with a serene atmosphere, and inside of the room on the second floor, we could see a teenage boy around 5.6 feet, quietly looking out with a calm expression on his face.
He has long black hair tied in a ponytail, an innocent handsome face, and a pair of reddish-black eyes, which enhanced his charm to the next level.
"It's been four years already, huh..." Yunlong said while closing his eyes a little.
Yunlong recalled what he has been doing in the past two years, which is very tiresome and very fruitful as he could finally control this empire from the shadow.
It wasn't a hard job, to be honest, because Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi became the key to success for Yunlong. He commanded them to manipulate every noble family and secretly accumulate enough power to gain the throne.
The following step is just brainwashing every official in the Star Luo Palace, which is also where the emperor lives.
As for the emperor himself, he surprisingly is in a retreat because he wants to break through to the next realm of cultivation.
Thanks to that, Yunlong could control the empire because when the emperor wasn't in presence, the advisor would take temporary control.
Yunlong took that chance and put the advisor inside an illusion, making that man a loyal puppet for him to use.
A few months have passed since he took control of the empire. Still, Yunlong knows this isn't enough because he had heard that royal clans had their hidden elders.
"Even though it's not as stable as I wanted, this should be enough for now," Yunlong opened his eyes and looked at the skies, where he could see a bird flying freely.
'Master, I'm hungry~!.' A sweet feminine voice appeared inside Yunlong's head, which put a weak smile on his face.
"Yuri, why don't you request your food from Bai Xue? She could make a good pill too, you know." Yunlong turned around and looked at the fluffy white fox that's rolling her body on his bed.
'Ehh? But, yours tasted better, especially those creamy white pills!' Yuri complained while raising her paws at him, but Yunlong only shook his head to deny her request.
"No." Yunlong clearly said, which widened Yuri's blue eyes in utter shock.
Yuri immediately jumped off the bed and landed perfectly near Yunlong's legs. Then, she adorably raised her head and gave Yunlong a pair of glistening pitiful eyes.
'Hehe~ Master would always pamper me if I do this.' Yuri thought with a hidden smirk.
Unfortunately for Yuri, this technique isn't effective anymore because Yunlong didn't even blink his eyes at her and calmly observed her with a smile on his face.
Yunlong carefully took something from his pocket and kneeled a little to match their gazes, which made Yuri excited for some reason because she thinks her plan is working.
Yuri excitedly wagged her tail and approached Yunlong's pocket, but surprisingly what she got wasn't a pill but a flick on the forehead.
'It's hurt!' Yuri whined in tears and covered her forehead with paws.
She tried to treat her forehead with spirit energy, but it did not even make it better because afterward, it became hot as a comical red bump appeared.
'How cruel... To think, you would do something like this to me.' Yuri responded with a sad tone.
"Oh? You want more?"
Yunlong made another flicking gesture, and Yuri abruptly ran away from the room. 'B-Bye, Master! I just heard that Bai Xue created a new pill, so I want to taste it!' Yuri stated before she completely disappeared.
After Yuri went away, a familiar girl walked into the room, who is Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing grew a lot over these two years, so not only did this girl become more charming, especially her bosom, which second largest after Yu Ning'er, but she also became more powerful as she could quickly reach the spirit's elder realm to catch the other maids' progress.
Zhu Zhuqing walked toward Yunlong and quietly gazed at him with a calm gaze. "I have something to tell you..." She quietly said.
"Oh, what is it?" Yunlong asked with a calm expression.
"Mhm, My training." Zhu Zhuqing answered, which made Yunlong chuckle for some reason.
"What happened to Yu Ning'er? She didn't train you?" Yunlong commented, to which Zhu Zhuqing responded with a shake of her head.
"Ning'er busy with something," Zhu Zhuqing calmly replied as Yu Ning'er has been locking herself in the room since morning.
"...I only want you to check on my progress." She firmly continued.
"I see. Let's go to the backyard then." Yunlong nodded his head and walked out of the room, followed by Zhu Zhuqing, who secretly felt happy when he agreed to her request.
They walked to the backyard, and a few figures stood in the field, which put a frown on Zhu Zhuqing's face.
Chu Xiaoyu and Bai Xue in the backyard stood in front of an alchemist cauldron, which released a faint fragrance of several herbs.
Yunlong also noticed a white fox near Bai Xue, who stared at the cauldron with shining blue eyes. 'Yuri.' He thought, which made the fox yelp in anxiety.
"Nyaa!" Yuri released a yelp, which caused Chu Xiaoyu to stare at her.
"Shut up, cat..." Chu Xiaoyu responded with a slight annoyance.
'I'm not a cat!' Yuri denied her statement with slight fear, which instantly got ignored as Chu Xiaoyu quietly controlled her ice element to maintain the cauldron temperature.
"Yeah, like that, Xiaoyu." Bai Xue suddenly exclaimed with a grin on her face.
Bai Xue raised her left palm, making a burning yellow flame appear in the air, and threw it into the cauldron.
"It's gonna explode." Yunlong's voice suddenly entered their ears, but his warning was a little bit too late as the cauldron already released a bright golden light and exploded.
Boom!
Yunlong shook his head and looked at the cloud of black smoke with a wry smile.
A few seconds later, the smoke immediately disappeared, revealing three white tube shields covering Chu Xiaoyu, Bai Xue, and Yuri.
These shields are a defense mechanism that Yunlong did for his companion, which used a few strands of his handkerchief and planted them into their hairs and furs.
Even though that explosion isn't strong enough to damage them, the mechanism is automatically activated as long there is a threat around them.
"Finally! It worked!" Bai Xue's excited voice echoed in the area.
The shield retracted back to a few strands of white strings, and Yunlong could see Chu Xiaoyu calmly shifted her gaze to him and nodded in gratitude.
"Young master, let me show you my newest creation!" Bai Xue hurriedly approached him, but Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stopped her.
"Zhuqing? Stay away." Bai Xue frowned while looking at the girl in front of her.
"No, It's my turn. You need to wait..." Zhu Zhuqing quietly responded while doing a T post, which caused Bai Xue's mouth to twitch in annoyance.
"Looks like being trained by Yu Ning'er has a bad influence on your mind." Bai Xue stated while making her broom appear, revealing her spirit rings configuration, yellow, purple, and purple.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't seem afraid of her action and calmly activated her martial soul, which also showcased her spirit ring configuration, yellow, yellow with purplish tints, and purple.
"Fire Crow." Bai Xue burned the area around them, and a crow silhouette made of yellowish-golden fire appeared behind her.
"Massacre..." Zhu Zhuqing reacted by swiping her claws into the air.
"Go, Zhuqing! Kick her ass." Yu Ning'er appeared out of nowhere and stood beside Yunlong.
"Yu Ning'er, you planned for this, didn't you?" Yunlong looked at his maid, who was sticking out her tongue a little.
"Hehe, I raised that girl." Yu Ning'er giggled while pointing her finger at Zhu Zhuqing, and Yunlong shook his head at her.
Boom!
Nevertheless, an explosion occurred, but to Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Xue's surprise, the backyard suddenly became an ice field because of Chu Xiaoyu's skill.
"Stop..." Chu Xiaoyu stated while coldly looking at Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Xue, who could only stare at her in awe.
Chu Xiaoyu stood on the ground with four spirit rings: yellow, purple, purple, and purple with black tints.
Yunlong is the most influential person in the house, but below him, Chu Xiaoyu is an undeniable powerhouse that even Zhu Zhuqing, Bai Xue, and Yu Ning'er cannot defeat even if they fought her at the same time.
Even though she is usually quiet, none of them would dare to oppose her, except for Yunlong, her dear master.
Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Xue could only hold their fight while staring at each other with visible irritations.
"Mm, good..." Chu Xiaoyu nodded her head in satisfaction and walked toward Yunlong.
Yunlong, who saw this, could only shake his head off and released a sigh. "Just another day with my maids, I guess." He helplessly said.
