Chapter 1236: The Gentleness of the Demon Lord

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The group returned to the Holy Peak Mountain.

Although the Holy Peak Mountain had been destroyed, the palace where the Holy Master lived was a very powerful Dharma artifact that was not destroyed in the battle.

Sect Master Lin watched his Holy Master and the black-clothed man enter the palace. He himself stopped outside the palace.

Those who were familiar with the Holy Master knew that he did not like people stepping into his palace. Even if the Grandmaster came, he could only stand in the courtyard and talk to him. If not for that, why would Sect Master Lin feel that the Holy Master had been too lonely all these years?

Even though he was familiar with the habits of the Holy Master, Sect Master Lin still had the guts to choose a maidservant for him. It had to be said that Sect Master Lin was not an ordinary person.

After confirming that his Holy Master had walked far away, Sect Master Lin heaved a sigh of relief. He dusted his wide sleeves and turned to the Guardians behind him. “You saw what happened today. No matter what you think, don’t say a word. This is an order. Do you understand?”

Everyone cupped their hands in acknowledgement.

Sect Master Lin sighed helplessly. To be honest, it was not too unacceptable in Sect Master Lin’s opinion to raise a male vixen. However, it would be difficult to say it if his sect master was the one below.

Recalling how the Holy Master had teased and laughed at the little baby along the way with a sweet expression, Sect Master Lin was even more certain that his guess was right. It was still the same thing. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

The reason why he did not suspect that the Holy Master had already changed to another person was because firstly, no one had the ability to scheme against the Holy Master. Secondly, the Holy Master’s aura was clearly the same as before. This could not be fake.

Hence, Sect Master Lin would rather believe that the Holy Master had been charmed by that male vixen. After all, the Holy Master still treated them like a high and mighty flower. Only when he spoke to the male vixen would he look affectionate and naive.

“All of you can go back. Remember what I said. If you violate it, you will be punished by the sect rules!” After Sect Master Lin finished instructing, he planned to leave the Holy Peak Mountain with everyone. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, Yan Xiaosi returned.

Just now, she had walked around the palace and realized that it was so deserted. Other than the three of them, there was not a single living person!

“Sect Master Lin, please stop.” Yan Xiaosi imitated the Holy Master and called out to Sect Master Lin expressionlessly.

Sect Master Lin quickly turned around and said politely, “Holy Master, do you have any other instructions?”

“Where did everyone in the palace go?” Yan Xiaosi asked.

“Huh?” Sect Master Lin was stunned by this question. Is there anyone in your palace?

Yan Xiaosi was not a fool. When she saw Sect Master Lin’s expression, she realized that she had said something wrong. So there was no one in the palace. The big ice had always lived by himself for so many years.

He didn’t even have a servant. How was he used to it?

Yan Xiaosi had been surrounded by people since she was young. It was difficult for her to understand how a person could survive countless long nights. Besides, it was really boring to live alone.

Yan Xiaosi cleared her throat and said, “Didn’t you choose a maidservant for me? Why? It hasn’t been sent over yet?”

Sect Master Lin immediately panicked. As expected of the Holy Master. He had known about it before he even announced it. Indeed, nothing in this world could hide from the Holy Master!

Sect Master Lin originally wanted to dismiss those maidservants, but since the Holy Master took the initiative to ask about them, he was naturally happy to send them over. Therefore, that night, those delicate young ladies of the sect were all sent to the palace of the Holy Peak Mountain.

They did not know anything about the male vixen. They only knew that the restrictions on the Holy Peak Mountain had been destroyed. After that, lightning descended. Sect Master Lin announced to the public that the Holy Master was refining a high-grade medicinal pill, but in the end, it caused a phenomenon and attracted lightning.

As for the male vixen, Sect Master Lin claimed that he was a friend of the Holy Master and asked everyone not to offend him.

“By the way, why don’t I see Miss Yan?” Qin Liuzhi asked.

Mu Qiangwei sneered. “She’s most likely frightened away by the lightning!”

Everyone laughed. With that bit of courage, she dared to come and fight with them for the Holy Master. Now, she finally understood who was the most qualified to serve the Holy Master.

Among the four of them, her looks and aptitude were the most ordinary. Therefore, when she asked this, it was like a real question and did not arouse anyone’s disgust.

“I think it’s Miss Fu,” Mu Qiangwei said with a smile.

Wasn’t it obvious? Fu Ruxue had the best looks and background. Her potential and realm were the highest, not to mention that she was Sect Master Lin’s relative.

Just now, the Holy Peak Mountain had set up a restriction. They were brought back to the sect by the disciples of the Holy Sect to wait. They were all sitting in the hall, except Fu Ruxue who went to the Sect Master’s Madam’s attic.

Fu Ruxue said with a smile, “I think everyone has a chance. Perhaps we can all become the Holy Master’s personal maidservants.”

These words were as fake as her smile. The few of them could just listen. It would be too stupid to believe it. Even if their looks and strength were inferior to hers, everyone was still competing in their hearts.

They had to obtain the favor of the Holy Master and stay in the palace as his personal maidservants. In the end, all four of them stayed.

However, no one was happy because although they were here to serve the Holy Master, in their understanding, they were here to comb the Holy Master’s hair, tidy his clothes, take a shower and undress, add to his fragrance with red sleeves, and chat to relieve his boredom. They weren’t here to do manual labor!

“You, go fetch water.” “You, go chop wood.” “You, go cook.”

“As for you, wash these diapers!”

Drawing water, chopping wood, cooking, and washing diapers. Wasn’t this what a rough old woman did? They were personal maidservants, first-class maidservants with status. They… they were treated like half a master!

“Why? You don’t want to work?” Yan Xiaosi placed her hands behind her back and said indifferently.

“No… I wouldn’t dare.”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

The few of them lowered their heads in response.

Yan Xiaosi said coldly, “Then why aren’t you going? Are you waiting for me to serve you?”

“Yes!”

They left in a panic.

Yan Xiaosi turned around and pursed her lips with a smile. Was this the feeling of being a Holy Master? Not bad!

“How are you going to explain this to your family?”

Just as Yan Xiaosi was feeling smug, a magnetic voice sounded behind her. Actually, putting aside his ferocity, Yan Xiaosi felt that he was good-looking and had a pleasant voice. He was a rare top-notch person.

Yan Xiaosi crossed her arms and smiled. “I don’t have to explain it to my family. My parents are gone for a long time, and my brothers have gone to the Remains. They won’t be back for the time being. Otherwise, how do you think I have the guts to come to the Holy Sect to contest for a maidservant!”

When the Demon Lord heard this, he did not react much, as if he had expected it.

“By the way, my surname is Yan. I’m ranked fourth at home. You can call me Xiaosi,” Yan Xiaosi said. “What about you? What’s your name?”

When Sect Master Lin asked for his name, he slapped him in the face. Yan Xiaosi originally thought that it was unlikely for him to say it in front of him, but unexpectedly, his thin lips opened slightly and he said softly, “Xiao Zhao.”

“Xiao Zhao?” Yan Xiaosi blinked. “Oh.” The Demon Lord glanced at her. Yan

Xiaosi smiled and said, “You’re so ferocious. I thought you would call yourself a decisive person. Xiao Zhao is quite cute!”

It was rare that the Demon Lord did not retort. He only nodded softly, as if he had tacitly agreed with her. Yan Xiaosi turned to look at him and realized that he was looking at the endless night with a complicated expression that she could not understand.

“Holy Master.” Fu Ruxue went forward and said, “Dinner is ready.”

The person who cooked was Fu Ruxue. After cooking, she deliberately returned to her room to change into clean clothes and even burned incense. She appeared in front of the Holy Master in a flash, waiting for him to take another look at her.

Unfortunately, Yan Xiaosi left without looking back!

Fu Ruxue’s culinary skills were really not good. Yan Xiaosi stuck out her tongue as she ate. The Demon Lord was fasting and did not need to eat. He looked at Yan Xiaosi’s difficult to swallow appearance and took out a mutton leg from his ring. He used his spiritual energy to start a fire and roasted it on the fire. “So your ring is the same as a cosmos bag. You can store things.”

The cosmos bag was only the most basic spatial artifact. Even if it was divided into ranks, the most powerful cosmos bag could not compare to the worst cosmos ring.

Yan Xiaosi had always wanted a cosmic ring, but unfortunately, she had only heard of it and had never seen it before. Yesterday, a flute suddenly appeared in his hand. He must have taken it from the ring.

At first, Yan Xiaosi could still focus on his Cosmos Ring. However, when the mutton leg was slowly roasted, only the sound of Yan Xiaosi slurping could be heard in the courtyard.

Yan Xiaosi ate well. She had never eaten such delicious roasted mutton leg. The meat was too tender. The layer of oil on the surface of the skin was roasted until it was brown, and a layer of white sesame was sprinkled. When she bit down, it was crispy, but the meat inside was so tender that water could be pinched out.

Yan Xiaosi was so satisfied that she wanted to cry. She tore a piece and fed it to him. “Eat too.’

Hmph! The Demon Lord would not eat!

The demonic cultivator who had been sent away by the Demon Lord had long sneaked back to the Holy Peak Mountain. At this moment, he was hiding in the dark and paying attention to the Demon Lord’s every move.

The Demon Lord did not eat meat. He was a Blood Rakshasa. He only sucked blood.

“It’s very delicious! My hands are tired!” Yan Xiaosi puffed up her cheeks like a fat squirrel looking for food as she looked at him without blinking. The Demon Lord’s eyelashes trembled. He opened his mouth and ate the first mouthful of meat..
