Summoning Ah Yin

The house Zhao Ming and the others rented was not far from Nuoding Academy, but it was relatively secluded.

It was an elegant three-story building, located not beside the main road but along a side street. The surroundings were rather quiet and deserted.

The three-story building was not particularly large, but its surroundings were excellent. Lush green trees encircled and sheltered it. High above, the canopies spread wide, covered in blooming pale blue flowers that gave off a faint fragrance, somewhere between musk and orchids. Ancient and elegant, they filled the entire street with their scent.

The interior was fashioned entirely from carved wood. It did not feel luxurious, yet it possessed an indescribable elegance.

The top floor was decorated with even greater care. Through the windows, they could see the flowers blooming thickly among the treetops. When the breeze blew, waves of faint floral fragrance refreshed the heart and mind.

"Hehe. I really do have great taste. This house is big and beautiful, and it's quiet too. It's perfect," Xiao Wu boasted, her eyes sparkling.

"Yes, yes. More importantly, the soundproofing is pretty good too." Zhao Ming nodded with a smile.

Ever since they had viewed this house together last time, Xiao Wu had fallen in love with the environment here.

But after asking about the price, she had been frightened and pulled Zhao Ming away. Yet Zhao Ming, who was not short on money, simply waved his hand and spent three hundred Gold Soul Coins to rent the entire building for a year.

After having a meal outside with Xiao Wu, the two parted ways. They had slept together before because Xiao Wu had not had a blanket. Now that they lived in such a large house, she naturally would not sleep with Zhao Ming anymore.

However, Zhao Ming was perfectly happy with that arrangement.

He still had many secrets that could not be exposed. It was not that he needed to guard against Xiao Wu, but there were some things she truly could not—and did not need to—know.

"System, I want to use the Ah Yin Summoning Card to summon Ah Yin." After returning to his room and locking the door, Zhao Ming spoke. He was eager to see what Ah Yin actually looked like.

"Does the Host wish to confirm?" the system asked.

"Confirmed." Zhao Ming answered without the slightest hesitation.

Ding, system summoning...

Ding, Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin has been successfully summoned!

About ten seconds later, the system's summoning was complete.

A graceful blue-and-gold figure appeared in the room.

She was an extraordinarily beautiful woman!

A blue-and-gold dress covered her entire body. Her noble and elegant temperament complemented her delicate face, one that seemed beyond mortal beauty. Her azure eyes were as flawless as Blue Crystals. Golden ribbons curled upward around the hem of her dress, while a faint fragrance drifted through the air.

Her waist-length hair danced in the breeze, filling the air with its fragrance. Delicate brows, a refined nose, rosy cheeks carrying a smile—she was breathtakingly beautiful. Specks of sunlight shone through the gauze window onto her face, making her skin seem crystal-clear, soft and smooth as jade.

"Beautiful!" Zhao Ming could not help but sigh.

As expected of the woman Tang Hao had loved so desperately. She truly possessed beauty capable of toppling kingdoms!

Zhao Ming's voice caught Ah Yin's attention. She immediately walked toward him in small steps, gave a slight curtsy, and called out sweetly, "Young Master!"

"Young Master?" Zhao Ming froze. Then he understood. Having read countless summoning novels, Zhao Ming naturally understood that the system must have wiped Ah Yin's memories during the summoning process and implanted in her the absolute belief that he was her master.

"The Host is correct. Ah Yin has already been fully modified. Her implanted identity is now the Host's personal maid, responsible for the Host's daily life," the system explained.

So that's how it is? This maid thing is really exciting. Having such a stunning beauty as his personal maid even made him feel a little wicked.

"Young Master!"

Seeing Zhao Ming staring at her without blinking, a blush appeared on Ah Yin's face. She looked at him shyly and called out again in a sweet voice.

"Ah Yin, you've been with me for several years now, haven't you?" Zhao Ming asked calmly.

"Young Master, who is Ah Yin? My name is Zhi'er!" Ah Yin looked at Zhao Ming in surprise.

"Young Master, you're not running a fever, are you? We were only apart for a few days. How did you become so muddled?" Ah Yin said anxiously as she placed a hand against Zhao Ming's forehead.

Hearing Ah Yin's words, Zhao Ming let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that the memories implanted by the system were very deep. At least, that was how it appeared.

"Zhi'er, thank you." Zhao Ming smiled faintly, took her hand, and spoke with deep affection.

"This is what Zhi'er should do." With Zhao Ming holding her hand, Ah Yin became flustered. A blush rose to her face as she hurriedly pulled her hand back.

"But no matter what, I should thank you." Zhao Ming smiled slightly.

Ah Yin could not help feeling puzzled. What was wrong with Young Master? Why was he acting so strangely today? Could he have hurt his head in a fall?

"Young Master, are you really all right? I... how about I take you to see a doctor?" Ah Yin asked with concern.

"Oh, I'm fine. Don't overthink it." Zhao Ming shook his head. "Um, you should go downstairs first."

To his surprise, Ah Yin's eyes widened even further upon hearing that.

And he says he's fine?! Young Master was never like this before!

"What is it?" Zhao Ming frowned as he looked at Ah Yin, who seemed hesitant and as though she had something to say.

"Young Master, I am your personal maid. In the past, I was always the one who attended you at bedtime." After hesitating for a moment, Ah Yin spoke resentfully.

"Pfft!" Zhao Ming nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

What did she say? Attend me at bedtime?

Right, being a personal maid seemed to include that duty. But this was a little too...

"Fine. Go warm up the bed first, then you can leave. I'll cultivate for a while." Zhao Ming said awkwardly.

"Yes!" Ah Yin answered happily.
