Ghost had been following Qian Chenzhou the entire time, completely unable to figure out what he was trying to do.
Hadn't he said they were going to see that worthless Yu Xiaogang? Why was he buying a woman and clothes? Was he really planning to visit Yu Xiaogang?
"Young master, is there anything I can do for you?" the woman asked cautiously.
His mind had gone blank for a moment, but he soon calmed down.
With all the preliminary preparations in place, it was time to begin the real task.
Qian Chenzhou walked ahead with his hands in his pockets. "I don't need you to do anything difficult. It's actually similar to your previous work. You know how to take care of people, right?"
The woman nodded. "I do. I'm very good at it."
From that simple exchange, the woman instantly understood the meaning behind his words.
After all, she had entered that building when she was around fifteen and had spent fifteen years there.
Over those fifteen years, she had no idea how many men she had taken care of.
Here, if she said she was good at taking care of people, no one would dare say otherwise!
After all, every man she had taken care of gave her a thumbs-up!
"How many years have you worked?" Qian Chenzhou asked casually.
"Fifteen years."
When he heard the answer, even Qian Chenzhou fell silent for a moment. But then he remembered this was Douluo Continent, where everyone developed early. Just look at Ma Hongjun in the distance—at such a young age, he had already gone there who knew how many times.
He quickly got over it.
After all, Xiaogang wasn't skilled at this. Having someone so experienced take care of him couldn't be better!
"How many people have you taken care of over those fifteen years?"
The woman froze. To be honest, she had never really thought about it, much less counted.
"Sometimes three to five a day. At my busiest, around fifteen or sixteen."
Even Ghost couldn't help baring his teeth when he heard that. He finally understood why this kid had gone to such a place—he was hiring a nanny for Xiaogang. He just didn't know whether worthless Xiaogang could withstand it.
After all, when a little lamb met a seasoned big bad wolf, it would be devoured without even scraps left behind!
"Mm, you have extensive experience taking care of people." The smile at the corner of Qian Chenzhou's lips could no longer be hidden. "Now I can rest easy."
"After you go in later, whenever no one is around, take care of him however you used to. Understand?"
"Understood!"
When the three arrived at the house, Bibi Dong, who was sitting by the window, saw Qian Chenzhou and instantly crushed the cup in her hand. In a few flashes, she was already at the door.
"What are you here for?!" Bibi Dong glared coldly at Qian Chenzhou. "Haven't you hurt Xiaogang badly enough?!"
"Don't be so angry." Qian Chenzhou spoke unhurriedly. "I didn't expect them to care so little about Xiaogang either. If I had known sooner, I would have had them do everything they could to treat him."
"So now I'm here."
Qian Chenzhou pointed at the woman beside him. "I spent a great deal of money to find this nanny for Xiaogang. She has fifteen years of experience taking care of people."
"No need!" Bibi Dong looked at the woman, who still carried the air of the brothel despite having changed clothes. "I can take care of Xiaogang myself!"
"Are you sure?" Qian Chenzhou rested his hand against the seam of the metal door. "Xiaogang is extremely weak right now. Can you really look after him every day? What if you leave one day and something happens to him? It would break my heart if Xiaogang couldn't receive treatment in time."
"You!"
How could Bibi Dong fail to hear the threat behind Qian Chenzhou's words? Her chest rose and fell violently.
If she could, she would have loved to kill the bastard in front of her with a single palm strike!
"Open it."
With a flick of Ghost's finger, soul power shot out, and the lock instantly broke with a clatter, falling to the ground.
Qian Chenzhou led the others inside.
After going upstairs, they found Yu Xiaogang lying pale-faced on the bed, his breathing much steadier than before.
"Seeing that Xiaogang is doing much better puts me at ease." As Qian Chenzhou spoke, he turned to Bibi Dong. "It's getting late. Shouldn't you be heading back?"
"What gives you the right to order me around?!"
Qian Chenzhou walked to Bibi Dong's side and crooked a finger at her.
Though Bibi Dong's heart was filled with hatred, she still had no choice but to bend down.
"Bibi Dong, you wouldn't want anything to happen to Xiaogang, would you?"
"Qian Chenzhou!" Bibi Dong felt the flames of rage burning in her chest, yet she still had to lower her voice.
How could she have once foolishly thought this brat was cute? He was clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing—and the most disgusting kind of vicious wolf at that!
"Whether you go back or not is up to you." With his hands in his pockets, Qian Chenzhou headed outside. "But you only get one chance. I hope you don't make the wrong choice."
Ghost paid Bibi Dong no attention at all and followed Qian Chenzhou outside.
Bibi Dong watched the two leave, then turned to the woman. "If anything happens to Xiaogang, I'll skin you alive!"
"No, no, it won't. I'll take very good care of him," the woman said immediately, trembling with fear.
After Bibi Dong left, the fear vanished from the woman's face. Looking at the man lying on the bed, she casually stripped off his clothes, and disgust immediately appeared on her face.
"Ah, this is the smallest one I've ever seen."
But the woman did not get to work right away. After all, he was unconscious, and she naturally preferred to save herself the effort.
As for taking good care of Yu Xiaogang, she would certainly give it her all!
She just didn't know whether Yu Xiaogang's soul power of a little over rank twenty could endure it.
"Young master, Bibi Dong followed us," Ghost quietly reminded him.
"Ignore her. I'm going back to cultivate."
In the bedroom, the maid had long been waiting. When she saw Qian Chenzhou return, she immediately pulled him into her arms. After all, the Grand Worshipper had said he needed a balance between work and rest. He had been cultivating lately, so he couldn't push himself too hard.
No matter how Qian Chenzhou struggled, he couldn't break free from the maid's arms. With the soft cushion of her chest pressing against his head, drowsiness gradually overtook him after having gone so long without sleep.
It was still part of his daily routine.
He practiced swordsmanship in the morning, but in the afternoon he did not go to the Library Pavilion. Instead, he studied and organized the knowledge he had recorded in his own courtyard.
During the rest of the time, he began tempering his body.
The training equipment he had commissioned earlier had already been delivered.
Though it looked somewhat comical and awkward for his small body to lift equipment many times heavier than himself, the maids still stood quietly at either side, keeping watch.
Every day, Qian Chenzhou received reports on Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang. He merely glanced over these unimportant reports before tossing them aside.
[Dual-God Tang San will descend in 1 year and 3 months]
After all, the system reported the time every day, forcing Qian Chenzhou to make the most of it.
