Xia Die's voice itself was extremely pleasant, but at this moment it was like an ice pick, instantly piercing the girl's nerves.
Her whole body trembled violently, as if she had been struck by thunder, and her retreating steps instantly froze in place.
Fear, like an icy tide, instantly spread from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Her mind went blank, with only one thought echoing crazily in her heart:
What did I do wrong? Is the tea too hot? Or is the cup placed in the wrong position?
She knew that it was a great honor to be sent to pour tea for the Saintess Hall.
In their branch, the usually domineering branch executives, after the news of Saintess's arrival, fell silent, not even daring to breathe.
Except for the superior Soul Saint elder, no one else is even qualified to stand in front of the Saintess Hall.
She, a saint at the lowest level, is not even qualified to welcome him from a distance.
If she hadn't been young, a woman, and good-looking, she wouldn't have been able to get this job anyway.
But this honor also means that if you make one wrong step, you will be doomed.
"Report... report to the Saintess Hall..."
The girl suppressed the chattering of her teeth and buried her head lower, her voice trembling uncontrollably out of fear.
"Subordinate... My name is Nana."
Xia Die looked at the girl named Nana in front of him quietly.
Dark red single ponytail, wheat-colored skin, twelve or thirteen years old, and this familiar name... In Xia Die's mind, a vague figure overlapped with the girl in front of him.
It's her.
In the original work, the heroine had a pitiful background and was forced to join Holy Spirit Cult for her parents who were controlled by Holy Spirit Cult. Finally, with the help of Huo Yuhao, she betrayed and joined the supporting actress of the Tang Sect.
A poor man struggling with hatred and despair.
Xia Die's purple eyes showed no trace of emotion, but there was already a calculation in his heart.
This is a good chess piece.
She has good talent and a tough mind, and most importantly, she has a weakness that can be easily controlled and a wish that can be easily fulfilled.
"From now on, you will be my maid."
Xia Die's voice is still calm, without any emotional ups and downs.
"You are responsible for all my daily meals and meals, can you do that?"
Maid?
Nana was stunned when she heard this. She raised her head in surprise and looked directly at this Saintess Hall for the first time.
It was a face that was too delicate to look like a real person, with long silver-purple hair, elf-like pointed ears, and especially those indifferent purple eyes, which seemed to contain a dead starry sky. She only took one look at it, and her heart trembled, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
Become a maid under the Saintess Hall?
What does this mean?
Is it glory or a deeper hell?
Her heart was in chaos and she didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, Elder Lin, who had been waiting outside the door and dared not enter, appeared at the door like Gui Mei.
He obviously heard the conversation in the room, and a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Saint Disciple No. 6, Saintess Hall chose you. It is the honor you have spent eight lifetimes practicing."
The voice of this elder Soul Saint was filled with urgency. This was an excellent opportunity to show his loyalty and hospitality to the Saintess Hall.
He looked at the dumbfounded Nana and immediately reminded him, "Why don't you thank Your Highness quickly?"
"Yes... yes, Nana... Thank you Saintess Hall."
Being stopped by Elder Lin, Nana finally reacted from the shock.
Her knees weakened and she quickly knelt on the ground, pressing her forehead against the cold ground.
However, in the shadow where no one could see her, she bit her lower lip tightly, and what was surging in her heart was not joy, but biting coldness and humiliation.
She hates.
She hates Holy Spirit Cult, hates all Evil Soul Master here.
It was they who destroyed her family, used despicable means to control the souls of her parents, and forced her to wear this mask and become one of them.
Now, she actually wants to become the personal maid of Saintess, one of the highest symbols of this evil organization?
This is simply the greatest irony in the world.
But she didn't dare to refuse, let alone the right to refuse.
Here, her life is even more humble than that of an ant.
She didn't even dare to think about the consequences of rejection.
"Very good."
Xia Die seemed completely unaware of Nana's inner struggle. She looked past the kneeling girl and landed on Elder Lin at the door.
"Since you are already mine, Elder Lin, there are some things you should know how to do."
That look was very calm, but it made Elder Lin, a Soul Saint-level expert, feel palpitations for no reason.
He seemed to be stared at by a poisonous snake, and all the Soul Power in his body tensed up unconsciously.
What does this mean under the Saintess Hall?
Xia Die You don't need to have read the original work to know that an organization like Holy Spirit Cult must have countless dark ways to control its subordinates.
For peripheral members like Nana who are forced to join, grasping the souls of their family members is the most commonly used and effective shackles.
Elder Lin's mind was spinning rapidly, and he instantly understood the subtext of Xia Die's words.
Saintess Hall This is showing kindness.
Use a small kindness to buy the heart of a maid.
"I understand, I understand completely."
Elder Lin bowed quickly, his posture extremely humble.
He then turned to Nana, trying hard to force out a kind smile that became increasingly distorted on his ugly old face.
"Saint Disciple No. 6, no, Nana, come with me. You have been a member of the Holy Cult for many years and you are considered loyal. It is time to return your parents to you."
Parents... give it back to me?
These words exploded in Nana's mind like thunder.
She was completely stunned, completely unaware of Elder Lin's hypocritical smiling face.
In her world, only those few words were left echoing repeatedly.
She raised her head suddenly, not looking at Elder Lin, but subconsciously, with a hint of disbelief, looking at His Majesty Saintess Hall, who had always been indifferent as before.
This time, a very faint but real smile appeared on the corner of Xia Die's mouth.
"Go ahead."
Boom!
The entire world of Nana completely collapsed at this moment, and then reorganized in the next second.
She understood, everything was understood.
It's not Elder Lin's kindness, but the will of the Saintess Hall.
For so many years, she has endured humiliation, wore a mask, and dealt with enemies, even if her hands were stained with blood. Why?
Isn't it just to save the imprisoned souls of my parents one day and let them find true rest?
She originally thought that this wish was far away and could not even be realized in this lifetime.
But now, happiness comes so suddenly and so unreal.
This Saintess Hall, who had just made her feel humiliated and hated, helped her fulfill her long-cherished wish that she might not be able to fulfill with all her life's efforts, with just an understatement.
