Personal Maid Cao Ying

"Ying'er is my clan's hope. I beg you, Senior, to show mercy," the Cao Clan head said humbly.

It had to be said that, out of fear of Yang Ji's strength and ignorance of his background, he had truly humbled himself.

"You really are a frog at the bottom of a well. If your junior can lean against my young master's great tree, could that possibly be worse than the Pill Tower?" Yang Ji frowned and said displeasedly.

If they had said something like marriage, it might have been negotiable after some discussion. But a personal maid?

How could a prodigy of the Cao Clan become someone's personal maid??

Yet from Yang Ji's tone, it seemed that he truly did not regard the Pill Tower behind them as anything noteworthy.

"Brat, this old man is Mang Tianchi. Have you heard of me?" Mang Tianchi spoke at that moment.

The Cao Clan head froze upon hearing this.

He had indeed heard of Mang Tianchi.

Even the Cao Clan knew of Canaan Academy.

"Are you the headmaster of Canaan Academy, Mang Tianchi???" the Cao Clan head asked.

"That is correct. It is indeed this old man," Mang Tianchi replied.

"If that is the case, then Ying'er will be entrusted to you," the Cao Clan head suddenly said.

Mang Tianchi's achievements were immense. However, Mang Tianchi alone would not have been enough to make the Cao Clan head hand over the Cao Clan's "star of hope" for Lei Qi to take away.

Yet a long-established clan like his naturally knew of certain hidden sects and clans.

Mang Tianchi's origins were far from simple.

The Thunder Clan!

That was an "Emperor Clan."

A clan that had once possessed a Dou Di expert.

How could the Cao Clan head fail to seize the chance to build ties with such a clan?

This was an existence above the Pill Tower.

"You will not regret what you did today. My name is Lei Qi. If you ever need help in the future, come find me in Sky-Thunder City," Lei Qi said.

At that moment, the Cao Clan head could already determine that, although the others in this group were all powerful, the one who truly held authority was Lei Qi.

"Many thanks, Young Master Lei Qi." He immediately bowed in thanks.

The Cao Clan head was quite sensible. Once he had agreed to Lei Qi's request, he immediately arranged for someone to bring Cao Ying over.

Before long, an old woman emerged with a girl of twelve or thirteen.

Though she was only thirteen, she had already grown into a graceful young beauty. Her wine-red hair cascaded to her waist like a waterfall, while intelligence shone from her curved brows and bright, watery eyes. Her delicate, doll-like face bore a pair of plump lips as tender and alluring as rose petals.

Beyond a woman's charm, she possessed an indescribable wild beauty. The faintly frosty expression on her face added an entirely different flavor to her appearance.

It was difficult to imagine that a girl of merely thirteen could already be so well developed. This was hardly just the first tender bud emerging~

Though she still retained some childishness, it was certain that in a few years, she would become a beauty capable of toppling cities.

When the Cao Clan head saw Cao Ying arrive, he said gently, "Ying'er, this is Young Master Lei Qi. From now on, you will remain by Young Master Lei Qi's side. Whatever Young Master asks you to do, you will do."

Cao Ying froze, looking at the clan head in disbelief. Then a wronged expression appeared on her face. "Clan Head, Ying'er doesn't want to leave the Cao Clan."

She had heard the person who summoned her say that she was being sent to become a maid!

She had been treated like a princess in the Cao Clan, yet now she was supposed to become someone else's maid?

Moreover, thinking of the warning from that aunt earlier, Cao Ying felt wronged and afraid.

"You are not leaving the Cao Clan. You are merely serving at Young Master Lei Qi's side. It is your good fortune, and you must learn to cherish this opportunity," the Cao Clan head said again, ignoring the reluctance in the child's eyes.

"Clan Head..." Cao Ying's voice already carried a trace of tears.

It was clear that she truly did not want to leave this place.

But the Cao Clan head knew very well that they had no right to refuse. Even the Pill Tower could not interfere in this matter, and if it became a bigger issue, it would bring the Cao Clan no benefit at all.

"Alright, Clan Head Cao. I'll take her with me. Don't worry, she won't suffer any hardship by my side." Lei Qi had already walked over to the Cao Clan head, then pulled Cao Ying to his side.

Cao Ying wanted to resist, but she did not dare.

Though she was young, she was very intelligent. She clearly understood that this man would be the one to decide her future.

Even the clan head did not dare show him the slightest disrespect. If she failed to recognize her place??

What family didn't have servants? She had personally seen how her cousins treated those servants.

Lei Qi was naturally somewhat surprised by Cao Ying's obedience, but this was fine too.

"Let's go."

With an arm around Cao Ying, Lei Qi turned and spread his Dou Qi wings.

The next moment, their group departed from outside the Cao Clan's gates. Before long, they became streaks of light and vanished from the area.

After returning to the spatial ship, Lei Qi brought Cao Ying to his room.

After boarding the ship, Cao Ying had remained silent, standing obediently to one side.

Lei Qi did not pay her any attention either.

He knew that she would need time to adjust.

Besides, whatever he said to her now, the little girl would probably only think about asking him to send her back, wouldn't she?

In truth, Cao Ying was merely standing in the corner, at a loss for what to do.

No matter how intelligent she was, she was still only a thirteen-year-old girl.

She did not even know where Lei Qi intended to take her.

Three days passed in a row.

Cao Ying seemed highly adaptable. Every day, she attended to his washing, meals, and clothing at set times. Then she would stand there obediently.

"Little girl, your ability to adapt is quite impressive." After watching her for three days, Lei Qi discovered that she was not putting on an act. She seemed genuinely able to adapt.

After all, she was the one responsible for warming his bed every night.

As a personal maid, her aunt from the clan had already instructed her on such matters before she left.

Cao Ying naturally did not want this, but what choice did she have? From the moment she was sent away, she understood that Lei Qi was her everything. Could she refuse to obey?

"Does Young Master have any orders?" Cao Ying asked.

"Come sit."

Cao Ying was not particularly resistant to such a request. Besides, since they slept under the same blanket every night, she considered herself already Lei Qi's woman.

In truth, she simply did not understand.

Lei Qi had done nothing, but no one had told her such things. What could she do~

After Lei Qi called her over to sit, he examined her carefully. When Cao Ying pouted, her plump lips held an indescribable allure.

If he had not known she was still too young, Lei Qi felt that he might already have turned into a wolf.

Mm. By young, he meant her age.

This would take years, or perhaps there was no end in sight?
