"Anything?" Yunlong asked with a questioning expression on his face.
"Anything. E-Except for sensual acts." Zhu Zhuqing sheepishly answered with a flushed expression, which made her so adorable for so reason.
Yunlong lightly chuckled when hearing the second part of her words. He then stared at Zhu Zhuqing with an amused expression on his face.
"Sure, I will help you," Yunlong said, which imdiately brightened Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
"But... you should be my maid." Yunlong abruptly continued, which caught Zhu Zhuqing off guard for a mont.
Zhu Zhuqing assud him to request sothing ridiculous but beca a maid?
"Maid? Only that?" Zhu Zhuqing questioned with a slight frown on her face.
(An: You guys know about it already, right?)
"Well..." Yunlong shrugged his shoulder.
Zhu Zhuqing pondered sothing for a mont and quietly gazed at Yunlong, who lightly smirked at her without any ill intent.
"You don't need gold coins...?" She quietly asked, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.
"I don't need them." Yunlong truthfully answered.
Yunlong didn't care much about gold coins because he had a ton of them in his inventory. His goal was to control the star luo empire, so having Zhu Zhuqing in his faction is a priority rather than a bunch of shiny coins.
"I only want you to be my maid," Yunlong naturally stated.
"But… Let remind you about sothing. We've never t before, so please think carefully about your decision because if you decided to be my maid, there is no way back." He continued with a solemn expression.
Yunlong said that statent to provoke Zhu Zhuqing's stability, but to his surprise, this girl still stared at him with a firm gaze.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly lunged forward and grasped his hand tightly. "
"I'll be your maid, so please bring out from this place..." Zhu Zhuqing quietly replied.
Yunlong was delighted over Zhu Zhuqing's reaction and calmly responded by smiling at her. "Sure, since you agreed, do you want to do it now?" He asked.
"Hmm? What do you an?" Zhu Zhuqing frowned a little.
Yunlong suddenly raised his right hand to the air, and countless golden strings appeared, which imdiately went through the entire house.
"Yunlong?" Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head in confusion.
Not only Yunlong's action startled her, but when she was about to ask about it, many black-hooded n suddenly fell from the ceiling and groaned in pain.
They had pretty critical injuries around their bodies, and it was because Yunlong attacked them quite severely.
"...What happened to them?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the black-hooded n and imdiately grimaced a little.
"Well... I don't like soone eavesdropping on my conversation, so I punished them a little," Yunlong responded by tightening the golden strings on black-hooded n's bodies.
"You don't mind doing this, right?" He continued with a calm tone, "They aren't on your side after all."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly beca quiet and quietly stared at the black-hooded n with a complicated expression on her face.
Even though these guards are her guards in a formal arrangent, they are her older sister's secret agents.
She beca quiet because of how casually Yunlong defeated a group of powerful spirit masters, which looks ridiculous. Still, she knows that it's genuine and just happened literally right in front of her eyes.
"What are you going to do with them...?" Zhu Zhuqing quietly asked while inwardly releasing a sigh in her heart.
"I don't know? Why don't you decide it for ." Yunlong reacted while tightening the golden strings, which caused one of the black-hooded n to groan in pain.
"Please kill them..." Zhu Zhuqing unexpectedly said with a sharp yet cold tone.
"Huh?" Yunlong, who doesn't expect this answer, cannot help but look at her in surprise.
"They are my sister's agents. Letting them live when we're going to run away isn't good for , so it's better to kill them now." Zhu Zhuqing stated with a calm expression, unwavering with her decision to kill people.
Hearing her words, Yunlong lightly snickered and said, "Very well."
Even though she was more persistent than he thought, Yunlong still gripped his hand and killed the black-hooded n by cutting their heads off using his golden cutting strings.
[You have killed 1 Spirit King]
[You have killed 1 Spirit Ancestor]
[You have killed...]
[...]
[...]
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]
[You have devoured a piece of soul, spirit, and spiritual energy]
[You have...]
[...]
[You have gained [Spiritual Tracking], [Life Drain], [Body Enhancent], [AirWalks], [Revenge Blast] Skills]
[You have obtained [Silver Soul Chain] martial soul]
'Oh! I got a martial soul?' Yunlong thought with a surprised expression because he had never got any martial soul in the last two years, even though he had killed many people.
Yunlong acquired [Golden Thread] martial soul after killing a few anonymous assassins, who chased Xiaoyu and her mother.
He fused the newly gained martial soul with his handkerchief, which unexpectedly increased his handkerchief toughness and ability, but Yunlong didn't realize this until he got his third spirit skill.
When Yunlong is busy with his system notification, Zhu Zhuqing's body trembles with coldness for so reason, she tried to calm down, but her body keeps shaking for so reason.
'At least, with this, I can confirm sothing. Yunlong is powerful enough to kill a spirit king easily.' Zhu Zhuqing thought.
Zhu Zhuqing controlled her breath to calm herself down as she felt a little nauseous, and this happened because she had never seen soone get murdered in front of her eyes.
"We can't let my maid go away because she would report you to my sister." She suddenly said with a solemn expression.
"Don't worry. I already handle that." Yunlong calmly responded.
"Zhu Zhuqing, You are unexpectedly calm," He abruptly comnted while gazing at her face, to which Zhu Zhuqing responded with a shake of her head.
"I know that eventually, sothing like this would happen in the future." Zhu Zhuqing quietly answered because to gain the royal position, she needed to kill her older sister.
"That's why I already prepared myself." She firmly continued.
"Is that so..." Yunlong responded while shrugging his shoulder casually and quickly burned the corpses down to ash.
"Before we go, I will take a few things first." Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said while walking away from the living room.
Yunlong noticed Zhu Zhuqing's hands were trembling from the start, but he didn't comnt on it because even Bai Xue, who had never killed soone, imdiately vomited after she killed a stray bandit.
'For now, it's proper for her to be frightened.' So Yunlong thought while shaking his head a little and looking at the window, where he can see dark clouds around in the skies.
Yunlong waited for a few minutes, and Zhu Zhuqing walked out of a room with a few pouches. "We can go now." She said.
"You didn't bring any clothes?" Yunlong asked while looking at the pouches, which are full of gold coins.
"I can't bring them because those guards can easily track us down." Zhu Zhuqing replied while gripping her hand to calm her trembling.
Yunlong looked at her and lightly handed his right hand, "Here."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded her head, but when she was about to grasp Yunlong's hand, he suddenly said, "There is no way back."
She firmly took his hand, "I know."
