Rushing to Become a Maid? This Was Too Exciting!
To deal with the Spirit Cat Duke and the duchess, she needed someone with a powerful status and strength.
She didn't know many people.
Even as a young lady of the Zhu Family, she had few friends in the Star Luo Empire.
The Heaven Dou Empire went without saying.
In a place where she knew neither the people nor the land, where could she find help?
But Chu Xuan, standing before her, seemed capable of helping her.
He could produce a divine artifact, and his cultivation was profound. The power backing him was surely no ordinary one.
But how could she get him to help her?
After thinking for a long while, she suddenly fell to her knees.
"I want to ask you to help me take revenge. I'm willing to be your ox or your horse, your slave or your maid!"
She was always so resolute once she made up her mind.
She couldn't take revenge on her own, but this mysterious Chu Xuan should have a way.
As long as he was willing to help her, she had hope of avenging her grudge.
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow and used his Soul Power to lift her to her feet.
"What you've been through is pitiable, but there's no need to talk about being my ox or horse, or my slave or maid."
"You... aren't willing?"
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head.
That answer probably counted as a refusal.
Fair enough. Telling her the truth had already been an immense kindness.
And now she wanted revenge?
Even if his background reached the heavens, there was no need for him to offend the Spirit Cat Duke for a stranger like her.
The Zhu Family was a long-established noble family of the Star Luo Empire, with experts as numerous as clouds.
The Spirit Cat Duke himself was a Titled Douluo-level expert.
Offend such a power for her sake?
There really was no need.
It seemed she would have to find her own way to take revenge.
Perhaps, if she left this place and cultivated diligently, she would still have hope of taking revenge in the future.
As for Dai Mubai?
Forget it.
That scumbag couldn't be relied on.
She had no desire to entrust her entire life to that man.
She turned to leave, but Chu Xuan spoke again. "Destroying the Zhu Family and the like really isn't difficult. The question is whether you want to destroy the Zhu Family yourself or have me do it."
Hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing stopped in her tracks, her face full of disbelief.
Had she heard him right?
Did he mean he was willing to help her?
"W-what did you say?"
"It's simple. If I destroy the Zhu Family, it can be done in a few days. The people behind me can accomplish that."
"If you want to destroy the Zhu Family with your own hands, then I'll train you and make you a god. Wouldn't destroying the Zhu Family be as easy as turning over your hand then?"
At those words, Zhu Zhuqing was truly shocked.
Sure enough, this man's background was terrifying.
Destroying the Zhu Family would only take a few days!
After thinking it over, she knelt again.
"I want to destroy the Zhu Family with my own hands. Please train me. From now on, I'm your maid. Please accept me as your follower."
Zhu Zhuqing was decisive.
An opportunity was right in front of her, and she had to grasp it firmly.
If she missed this chance, she wouldn't get another.
Chu Xuan laughed heartily. Zhu Zhuqing was certainly direct, actually offering to become his maid.
A cat-eared maid?
That sounded rather interesting.
"Since you put it that way, I'll give you the chance to follow me."
"I believe it won't take many years before you can destroy the Zhu Family with your own hands and even break off that damned engagement."
"Now, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Chu Xuan, and I'm from Spirit Hall."
"My name is Xiao Wu, and I'm from Spirit Hall too."
Xiao Wu waved.
Chu Xuan was from Spirit Hall, so wasn't she, as someone close to Chu Xuan, also a member of Spirit Hall?
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with that reasoning.
The upper ranks of Spirit Hall already knew her identity.
She didn't have to worry about anyone coveting her Soul Rings or Soul Bones, either.
In fact, if Spirit Hall learned she was in danger, they would even have to come rescue her.
That was because of Elder Huo Ling's reports!
With the God Child away from home, the protectors hidden in the shadows naturally couldn't afford to slack off.
They reported the God Child's situation to Spirit Hall at all times, allowing its upper ranks to make adjustments whenever necessary.
Hearing that the two were from Spirit Hall, Zhu Zhuqing breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
Spirit Hall was powerful, and she had recently heard about the descent of divine grace.
With Spirit Hall's great power, destroying the Zhu Family would surely be no problem.
But she wanted Chu Xuan to train her so she could take revenge with her own hands.
Besides, Chu Xuan's position in Spirit Hall was surely no ordinary one.
He was so young, yet his cultivation was so terrifying.
Everything pointed to her being extraordinary.
He might be the child of someone in Spirit Hall's upper ranks!
"Zhu Zhuqing greets Master."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke softly.
She was a maid now, so she ought to conduct herself like one.
Chu Xuan rubbed his nose. Actually hearing her address him that way still felt strange.
It was quite exciting, but why did it feel a little awkward?
"There's no need to call me that. Just use my name."
"That... isn't proper."
"There's no question of what's proper. My word is the rule."
"If you must call me that, do it in private. Otherwise, people might think I have some unusual kink."
"Yes, Master!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded hurriedly.
So he was worried about what outsiders might say. In that case, there was no problem.
"We're planning to go to Shrek Academy for some fun. If you want to grow quickly, Shrek Academy is a good place."
"When the time is right, I'll help you get some fortuitous opportunities."
Thinking of the opportunities near Suotuo City, he knew he had to get his hands on all those things.
Tang San was already locked up in Spirit City, so those opportunities would only go to waste.
He would find time to go and claim them.
There was also the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Once things here were settled, he would take some people to Heaven Dou City.
As for whether he would stay at Shrek Academy afterward, that would depend on how life at the academy went in the coming days.
If things didn't suit him, he would simply leave.
Then he could find an excuse to destroy the academy.
If he enjoyed his stay, there was no problem with remaining at the academy.
In any case, with his status, he could go wherever he pleased. No one could stop him.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
Master was going to study at Shrek Academy, so as his maid, she would naturally follow him.
Besides, studying at an academy did offer Soul Masters quite a few benefits.
Although venturing through the Soul Master World alone could also raise one's cultivation quickly,
the systematic education provided by an academy was a great help to a Soul Master's future growth.
Even though she had undergone extensive training since childhood, she still needed that help.
"Registration at the academy starts in a couple of days. We'll go over and have some fun then."
"Dai Mubai probably won't show up at the registration site."
Chu Xuan stretched lazily.
Dai Mubai had been injured this time, so he would probably need some time to recover.
Zhu Zhuqing also recalled the scenes shown by the Wheel of Time.
In those scenes, Dai Mubai appeared at the registration site and noticed something unusual about her at first glance.
There was a special resonance between the Hell Spirit Cat and the White Tiger Martial Soul.
As long as they were close enough, they could sense it.
"You'll sleep with Xiao Wu tonight. Don't let your mind wander to all sorts of things."
"Tomorrow, we'll take another stroll around the city and enjoy a leisurely life before academy life begins."
