The Capable and Very Capable Maid

Mu Nuxin raised her brows. "Sister, are you planning to do something unspeakable to Brother Ningwei?"

Mu Nujiao panicked, her eyes darting about. "I-I only came to thank Brother Ningwei."

"Then why are you panicking? Why were you hiding in the closet? Look me in the eye!"

Mu Nuxin pressed forward step by step, her little thunder pressing against the great thunder as she stood on tiptoe and glared at Mu Nujiao.

"Brother Ningwei, does Sister want to sleep with you too?"

"No, I absolutely do not!"

Mu Nuxin turned pale with shock. "Does Sister want to offer herself to you tonight?"

"Of course not!"

Mu Nujiao was overcome with grief and indignation.

Mu Ningwei rubbed his forehead.

"Stop, stop. Quit arguing."

With tears in her eyes, Mu Nuxin suddenly pounced onto Mu Ningwei's bed, hugged him, and said pitifully:

"Brother Ningwei, I'm already yours. Even Dad approves of our relationship, so don't abandon me!"

Mu Ningwei pushed her face away. "Don't make it sound so suggestive. Uncle Mu merely entrusted you to me. He never said it had to be that sort of relationship."

Embarrassed and angry, Mu Nujiao pounced onto the bed and pinned Mu Nuxin down. "Well, well, you little brat. So you've been using a feather as an imperial decree."

"You said I was trying to take advantage of the situation, but it looks like you're the one trying to do that!"

Mu Nuxin gave an awkward laugh. "Sister suddenly appeared and startled me..."

Mu Ningwei remained expressionless. "Mu Nujiao, you're no better."

Mu Nuxin widened her eyes, then abruptly exerted force and pinned Mu Nujiao beneath her.

"Are you plotting something improper against Brother Ningwei too?"

Mu Ningwei: "Why did you say 'too'?"

Mu Nuxin's cheeks reddened.

Mu Nujiao's cheeks reddened as well.

Mu Ningwei took a deep breath and looked blankly at the sisters roughhousing before him. The view was certainly lovely.

Especially Mu Nuxin's nightgown. After all that tussling, it had slipped off her shoulder.

"What are you two thinking? I'm a man, after all. Aren't you afraid I'll lose control and have my way with both of you?"

Mu Nujiao lowered her head. "Mm."

Mu Nuxin pouted. "So Brother Ningwei likes both of us? You want to take both Sister and me for yourself? How greedy."

"Though... someone like me, who depends on Brother Ningwei, probably has no right to restrain you."

"Rather than having Brother Ningwei fool around outside in the future, and even having some young lady from another family become your proper wife instead of me, I suppose I could accept Sister becoming your proper wife."

Mu Nujiao looked up in shock.

At that moment, her mind went blank. She did not know whether she should be stunned by her sister's thoughts or bewildered by Mu Ningwei's.

Mu Ningwei rolled his eyes at Mu Nuxin and reached out to tighten her nightgown.

"You're practically exposed... I only want a wife I can truly connect with. As a normal man, you two are indeed both my type, but I won't force anyone. Don't worry."

Mu Nuxin seemed thoughtful. "In other words, as long as Sister and I work things out, Brother Ningwei will belong to us sisters."

"Sister, can you give up Brother Ningwei for my sake?"

Mu Nujiao sighed helplessly. "Nuxin, shut up. Stop fooling around. Let's pretend tonight never happened."

Mu Nuxin was dissatisfied. "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Stop."

Mu Ningwei raised a hand to halt the sisters' argument and looked toward the door.

"Someone's here."

Ding-dong~

The living room doorbell rang, and at the same time, Mu Ningwei received a message.

[Blue Bat: Benefactor, are you asleep? I'm outside.]

What was she doing here?

Forget it. At least she had shown up at the right time.

Mu Ningwei lowered his voice. "A guest has arrived. Go back to your room. I'll receive her."

After Mu Ningwei left the room.

The two sisters hurriedly got up.

"Nuxin, let's go back quickly. Don't disgrace the family."

"Mm... Sister, you go back."

With a thump, Mu Nuxin jumped onto the bed, pulled the blanket over herself, and said with flushed cheeks:

"The guest won't know this is Brother Ningwei's room. It's my room now."

"Y-You!"

Mu Nujiao was shocked by this maneuver for an entire year.

"No, you can't stay here. Who knows what you'll do to Brother Ningwei tonight? Come with me!"

Mu Nuxin curled her lips, lifted the blanket, and patted the space beside her. "I'll share half with you."

"..."

Mu Nujiao still wanted to say something, but upon hearing the door open, her expression changed and she lay down on the bed.

Mu Nuxin pulled the blanket over them and wrapped herself around Mu Nujiao like an octopus.

"What are you doing? Isn't it hot?"

Mu Nuxin sounded a little nostalgic. "Sister, it's been so long since we slept together."

Mu Nujiao stopped struggling.

The two sisters nestled warmly together.

Until they heard Blue Bat's voice outside.

"Benefactor, please let me devote myself to you."

"!!!"

"Someone's stealing our home!" "Shameless woman!"

"Benefactor, I'm sorry for disturbing you so late at night."

Mu Ningwei shook his head. "What is it?"

"Mm, there is indeed something."

Seeing Blue Bat hesitate, Mu Ningwei stepped aside. "Come in. Tea or juice?"

"Whatever is convenient for you, Benefactor."

Mu Ningwei took out some juice and served Blue Bat.

"Go on. What is it?"

Blue Bat took a letter from her bag.

"It's like this. The Mu Family Head seems to have mentioned that you'll be participating in the National Prefecture Contest, so the Judgment Association headquarters and the Magic City Judgment Association have prepared two votes for you."

"Also, this is a letter of recommendation from Head Instructor Feng Li. With it, you can join any Judgment Association directly as a Judgment Envoy."

"Your reward, calculated according to the bounty, totals 368.5 million. It will be transferred into your account."

A Judgment Envoy?

The position did suit his high-level cultivation.

Mu Ningwei accepted the envelope. "Thanks for your trouble."

Blue Bat smiled and shook her head. "Benefactor, I applied to my superiors and decided to leave the Judgment Association. Head Instructor Feng Li and the others approved it, and they also gave me a bonus."

"Congratulations. You can enjoy life properly from now on. Remember to change your identity, and be careful of Black Pepper Court's retaliation."

Blue Bat said, "I've already thought of where I belong in the future."

She held Mu Ningwei's hand and gently pressed it against the great thunder, her expression gentle and her eyes filled with longing.

Mu Ningwei's expression became subtle.

You all planned this, didn't you? Why do you all like holding my hand?

"Benefactor, I can never repay your life-saving grace. You saved me at my most desperate moment. From then on, I decided to repay you with everything I have."

"Please let me devote myself to you."

"I will become your maid, remain by your side, and help ease your worries, whether in everyday matters or physical ones. As long as you agree, I'll pay you ten million every month as a token of gratitude."

Mu Ningwei: "?"

A paid maid who expected nothing in return, was capable, and very capable.

What kind of heavenly development was this?

Mu Ningwei smiled in relief.

Blue Bat smiled as well.

But perhaps she would soon be unable to smile.

Mu Ningwei pulled his hand back, retreated two steps, and took out a cross.

Countless strands of darkness bound Blue Bat, leaving her hanging helplessly in midair like prey ensnared by a spider.

"Benefactor?"

Mu Ningwei's gaze turned slightly cold. He summoned the Dark Throne, spread his legs and arms, and sat upon it.

"You aren't Blue Bat. Speak. Who are you?"

"Salang?"

Mu Ningwei knew that Blue Bat was an undercover agent planted by the Judgment Association within Black Pepper Court. She possessed an incomparably resolute will and had ultimately even been willing to sacrifice her life just to bring Salang to justice.

How could someone like her possibly behave this way?

It was not as if he were some kind of succubus.

That meant the woman before him was not Blue Bat at all!

Perhaps Salang had discovered Blue Bat's identity and had someone disguise herself as Blue Bat to deceive the Judgment Association, intending to get close to him and kill him!

Mu Ningwei opened his palm and slowly clenched it. The dark threads tightened accordingly.

"Whoever you are, die."

Her soul would give him the answer.

Blue Bat suddenly lowered her head, then raised it again. A serene smile appeared on her face as her eyes curved into crescents.

"As expected of Brother Ningwei. You actually saw through Xin Xia's methods."

Hm?

Hm hm??

Hm hm hm???

Who?

A trace of pain flashed through "Blue Bat's" eyes, and she said pitifully:

"Brother Ningwei, be gentle with her. Sister Blue Bat is Xin Xia's gift to you. If you ruin her like this, Xin Xia will be heartbroken~"

"Or does Brother Ningwei actually like this kind of play? If so, Xin Xia has nothing more to say."

The threads cinched around Blue Bat's body. She already had the mature charm of an older woman, and the pressure emphasized her taut, sensual curves.

Mu Ningwei was somewhat bewildered.

"Xin Xia? Shouldn't you be in Hangcheng? Didn't Mo Fan send you there?"

This time, it was "Blue Bat" who was confused.

She tilted her head and asked cutely, "Brother Ningwei, who is Mo Fan? Why would Xin Xia be in Hangcheng?"

Something was wrong!

Mu Ningwei suddenly realized.

Ye Xin Xia called him "Brother Ningwei." She knew him and had not forgotten their childhood memories!

Salang had not planted a forgetfulness bug in Ye Xin Xia!

Had his appearance changed this event?

The Blue Bat before him was actually Blue Bat, merely a puppet remotely controlled by Ye Xin Xia?
