Chapter 7

Witch’s Employnt Contract

A brighter smile appeared on Scarlet Moon’s face.

She looked toward Ling Xi, her face moving a little closer.

"How could I be as rude as they were?"

"I wouldn’t break you, and I wouldn’t modify you, much less drain you dry."

Scarlet Moon straightened up, placing both hands behind her back.

"You! Every single ti you ca to my Demon King’s Castle, you rummaged through everything, and even hid in corners opening treasure chests that had been sitting there for who knew how many years."

"You stole so many things from ."

"So tell , how should I deal with you?"

A chill ran through Ling Xi’s heart.

"Mm…"

Scarlet Moon bent down, her crimson eyes fixed on her.

"How about using your body… to repay ?"

Ling Xi hurriedly shrank backward, her back pressing against the icy wall.

Her body? No! Absolutely not!

Seeing her reaction, Scarlet Moon straightened again and let out a clear, crisp laugh.

"What were you thinking about?"

"I ant, use your body to work for ."

She raised one finger and began listing the terms in an orderly manner.

"First, you will be responsible for the daily cleaning of the third floor of the Demon King’s Castle, which is also the area where I mainly carry out my daily activities."

"Second, prepare my three daily als."

"Third, wash the clothes I change out of."

Ling Xi froze.

This sounded like nothing more than an ordinary maid’s job.

Scarlet Moon seed to see through her thoughts and continued adding:

"Of course, I’m not so kind of demon.

"Mm, all right, I am a demon. But I’m a reasonable demon."

"As paynt, I will give you thirty gold coins each month as wages."

"If I’m satisfied, it’s not impossible for there to be additional rewards."

"For now, your working hours will be from nine in the morning to four in the afternoon every day."

"The rest of the ti will be your free ti."

"But I advise you not to leave the castle."

"Each week, you could take two days off."

"So? Would you accept this job, my adorable little maid?"

For a mont, Ling Xi’s brain crashed.

She began analyzing the conditions one by one.

Cleaning, cooking, washing clothes… the duties were clear, and the workload was not heavy.

Thirty gold coins a month?

Ling Xi quickly did the math in her head. Converted into the currency she was familiar with, that amount was probably around fifty thousand.

From nine in the morning to five in the afternoon? And it even ca with two days off a week?!

This… what kind of heavenly work schedule was this!

Ling Xi thought of the heartless company she used to work for.

That black-hearted company had waved the banner of hard work and made them grind away on a 996 schedule.

One phone call from the boss in the middle of the night, and they had to crawl out of bed to revise a proposal.

There was no overti pay, only endless empty promises.

In the end, he could no longer endure it and resigned in fury.

And now, Scarlet Moon had offered her such an irresistibly attractive job.

als and lodging included, salary paid as usual, fixed working hours, and even two days off each week.

It even ca with the highest-level "personal safety guarantee service" on top of that!

Ling Xi’s eyes lit up little by little.

The way she looked at Scarlet Moon was no longer evasive. It even carried a trace of gratitude.

She almost blurted out her answer in a rush, afraid the other party might change her mind.

"I’m willing! I’m very willing!"

"Eh? Are you that easy to satisfy?"

Within Scarlet Moon’s crimson pupils was reflected the girl’s delighted face.

The smile on her face did not change, but a different train of thought passed through her mind.

How interesting.

It only took a tiny bit of kindness from her.

And that was enough to make her this happy.

Just last night, she had still looked terrified out of her wits.

Guiding her personally was far more interesting than using shadows to control an empty shell.

Scarlet Moon stood up and walked toward the doorway.

"Very good. Then from today onward, you are my exclusive maid."

"There is a uniform prepared for you in the wardrobe. Rember to change into it."

After saying that, she pulled the door open and walked out without looking back.

The mont the door closed, Ling Xi finally relaxed completely and let out a long breath.

【Scarlet Moon felt pleased by your reaction, Fate Points 1】

【Current Fate Points: 1】

【System Store has been unlocked】

Ling Xi’s heartbeat skipped a beat.

She imdiately tried opening the 【System Store】.

A semi-transparent interface unfolded before her eyes.

The store was filled with a dazzling array of goods, but the vast majority of them were greyed out and locked.

Only the few icons at the very top were lit up, and their prices were surprisingly consistent.

【Skill: Cleaning Spell】

【Effect: Consus a very small amount of ntal energy to remove dust and stains within a designated area】
