Miya

Yun Xi witnessed the whole scene from the side, becoming even more certain that something fishy was going on, and also more vigilant about the situation she was about to face.

In any case, since we're here, we should make the best of it, stay clear-headed, and be flexible in our approach.

This Old Fiend is clearly a master.

Seeing the Old Man's practiced and obsequious manner, Yun Xi's disgust grew even stronger.

This old man's practiced manner suggests he's done this dirty trick countless times. For a pittance, he's willing to use any means necessary, treating others as bargaining chips...

After the Old Fiend left with a smile, the butler-like man turned his gaze to Yun Xi, looking her up and down with an unfathomable look in his eyes.

After a few seconds, the Butler Fiend tone, his voice low and hoarse, as if coming from a deep cave. "Come with me."

These few words seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet atmosphere.

Yun Xi followed the Butler Fiend silently behind him, observing her surroundings as she went, secretly planning out possible scenarios and how to deal with them.

The Butler Fiend steady and slow, each step seemingly carrying an invisible pressure.

After entering the manor, Yun Xi did see many maids dressed strangely... These strange appearances varied, some beautiful and some ugly according to human aesthetics, but without exception, they were all extremely charming.

This charm is not just about differences in facial features, but about a deeper temperament and many other aspects.

Some maids had graceful figures, exuding an elegant charm with every gesture; others had bright, lively eyes, as if hiding endless wisdom and cunning; and still others had sweet smiles that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Of course, most importantly, the maids in the Changfu mansion are all high-level monsters, level 30 or above. Compared to other monsters in the city, this is a completely different world.

Originally, I thought that the lower-level strange things outside represented the general level of this city, but I never expected that such a high-level power was hidden in this governor's mansion.

During the time the Old Fiend lured her here, he only emphasized her charm, without mentioning anything about her strength. This means that the Old Fiend was also unaware of any information related to the maid's abilities.

This Old Fiend knew nothing about her strength or situation, yet he dared to send her here. He must have been blinded by such petty tricks and hadn't considered the consequences at all.

Another possibility is that the other party's true nature doesn't lie in these things, or rather, the Changfu (the government office) doesn't rely on the maid's initial strength...

Soon, the Butler Fiend led her to a side hall. His gaze was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Young lady, I'm sure that Old Fiend also told you that the salary in our City Lord's Mansion is extremely high. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will be rewarded handsomely."

Yun Xi raised her head slightly, met the Butler Fiend gaze, nodded obediently, and said, "Thank you, butler. I will definitely work hard."

The Butler Fiend once-over, then said, "There are many rules here, so you must remember them well. If you make a mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless." His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Please rest assured, butler, I will definitely abide by the rules."

The Butler Fiend snort and said, "Wait here for a bit, someone will come and assign you specific tasks in a little while."

After saying that, he turned and left the side hall.

Yun Xi watched his figure disappear through the doorway, pondering to herself that it seemed the butler was unwilling to reveal too much information to the maids who had just entered the manor.

However, the mayor is very lenient towards her, so it would be strange if she could get close to him so easily.

Yun Xi found it increasingly strange.

Either the butler is extremely confident that no trick can harm their mayor, or they have other means to control the situation...

If someone is truly so confident in the mayor's safety, then the mayor's strength is probably far beyond imagination, or perhaps the mansion harbors powerful defense mechanisms and mysterious methods that can quickly respond to danger.

If the mayor is exceptionally capable, then Yun Xi must be even more cautious. If there are mysterious means to control the situation, she must quickly figure out the pattern and find a way to break through.

Even if her strength surpasses that of others in the mansion, before meeting the mayor, she cannot ascertain the mayor's true strength...

Yun Xi's disguised identity is that of a low-level ghost, less than level ten.

With extremely high-level Disguise Rune, there's no need to worry about being exposed.

When the butler was watching her just now, Yun Xi could clearly feel that the simple glance it gave her seemed to be a special way of probing her, but it did not check Yun Xi's level or strength. Instead, it focused on her charm value.

So, it really is related to charm?

She looked around; the entire side hall was extremely simple, with nothing special except for a few ordinary tables and chairs.

Yun Xi could only calm down and wait for the next arrangements, while inwardly plotting how to gather information about the Mayor's Mansion without arousing suspicion.

Without knowing the mayor's strength, Yun Xi would not act rashly, lest she alert the enemy.

After all, if a lower-level person tries to identify information about a higher-level person, it will inevitably be detected, just like how Yun Xi could detect the butler probing her charm level.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, a middle-aged female ghost walked in. Her appearance was extremely ordinary by human standards, but she was surrounded by an elegant temperament that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze. She was very approachable and had a high level of charm.

Yun Xi's gaze fell on the middle-aged female ghost, and she couldn't help but admire her inwardly.

Her ordinary face seemed to be overshadowed by her unique aura, radiating an indescribable attraction. Every movement of the female ghost was elegant and composed, her eyes revealing gentleness and compassion, making people unconsciously want to approach her and be close to her.

When she saw Yun Xi, her eyes lit up and her smile became even more friendly, but there was something strange about that smile, or perhaps it was because she herself was strange.

Yun Xi under her gaze. Her smile was friendly, but it was as if she were wearing a mask, making it impossible to discern her true intentions.

"Hello, young lady, I am the Head Maid here, Miya." Her voice was soft and gentle, as if it had a soothing magic.
