Chapter 78
She rolled sideways over the table and hid behind the cabinet. Without thinking twice, she grabbed the props at hand and threw them at Yao Shi.
"It seems that even the world's top mercenaries are nothing special."
He grabbed the cleaver from the cutting board and, in a few swift movements, chopped the thing Milutin had thrown at him in two.
Surprised by the sharpness of the cleaver in her hand, Yao Shi couldn't help but take a few more glances at the "weapon" in her hand.
"You, a killer who only knows how to sneak around and ambush from the shadows, are just as bad as me."
Milutin, who was hiding behind the cabinet, stretched out his right hand and gave Yao Shi the middle finger.
Just as she stretched out her fingers, two or three throwing knives grazed her fingertips and pierced through the iron basin in front of Milutin.
"Holy crap, you're serious, girl?!"
Looking at the iron basin that had been so easily pierced, cold sweat instantly soaked Milutin's back.
This girl is serious! It's just dinner, why is Yao Shi taking it so seriously?
"Because this is the first time the young master has asked me to cook for him."
Yao Shi turned her head to the side and looked at the terrible stove.
This was her first time cooking for the young master, so she couldn't let him down no matter what.
Even if she fails dozens, hundreds, or thousands of times, she will still present the best version of herself to the young master.
Yao Shi looked forward to it, hoping that the young master would show a satisfied smile when he ate the meal she had personally prepared.
If she can't even do something like this, what right does she have to call herself the young master's personal maid?
"I'm telling you, you little rascal..."
Hearing Yao Shi's words, Milutin sighed heavily and looked helplessly at the ceiling above his head.
Frustrated, Milutin rubbed his hair and stood up from behind the cabinet, placing the two swords he was holding on the table.
"Since you're so serious, let's give it another try..."
Milutin covered her head and waved her hand, "Forget it, what's the use of getting angry?"
She was just unlucky to have met such a persistent girl.
But the most unlucky one seems to be the young master... Hopefully, he'll be alright after eating that person...
Chapter 15: Too Many Maids Are Also a Problem (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets 10/10)
When Wu Liang returned home, it was already completely dark.
After a brief greeting to the butler at the door, Wu Liang pushed open the door and walked straight into the hall.
The opulent layout almost blinded him; it was still the same extravagant style, utterly devoid of any aesthetic appeal.
At least Wu Liang thought so after seeing the huge crystal chandelier and cashmere carpet in front of him.
It's almost the same type as those in the academy; in short, it's incredibly extravagant.
"Young Master, welcome back~"
Maids dressed in black midi skirts and white headbands stood at the door to welcome Wu Liang.
The delicate little leather shoes gleamed black, and the snow-white lace stockings encased the girls' slender legs.
With a sweet smile on her pretty face, she bowed to Wu Liang, and one of the maids placed slippers at Wu Liang's feet.
"Young master, there are four of us maids who will be helping you change today. Would you like to change here, or would you like to go to the changing room on the third floor?"
"Of course, we have listened to Miss Shi's explanation. If you do not wish us to help you change your clothes, we will not force you."
The maid squatted at Wu Liang's feet and raised her small face, her big, watery eyes full of vitality.
She had two small dimples at the corners of her smiling mouth, and her little tiger teeth glittered under the crystal chandelier, making her look a bit playful.
The small, gloved hands rested somewhat nervously on Wu Liang 'Wu Liang trouser legs, awaiting his command.
"Wu Liang really knows how to enjoy life..."
Wu Liang touched his nose and smiled helplessly, because he was controlling the male protagonist's perspective while playing the game.
The only thing known is that the other party's family is very rich and powerful, so the players' understanding of Wu Liang is not comprehensive.
After all, the game's portrayal of Wu Liang entirely on how much of a scoundrel and how vicious he is.
He, too, had no idea what Wu Liang's life was like as a villainous young master.
But judging from what has happened in the mansion in the last few days, and the scene before him, Wu Liang is enjoying treatment comparable to that of an ancient emperor.
"I really don't know what Wu Liang in the game was thinking. Why would he ignore so many beautiful maids and insist on competing with the male protagonist for a woman?"
"Maybe this is what they call game settings, otherwise I really can't figure out what's wrong with Wu Liang."
Wu Liang murmured with a wry smile, wondering if that villainous young master would have really fallen for He Xue Su Qian's group if it weren't for the mandatory nature of the game's settings.
He already has beauties like Yao Shi and Milutin around him, not to mention the adorable younger sisters in the Wu family.
"Young Master? What are you saying?"
The maid blinked her big, bright eyes at Wu Liang, who was talking to himself.
He tilted his head, looking somewhat puzzled; the young master had been in a daze since the beginning.
"It's alright, no need to trouble you, I can do it myself."
Wu Liang smiled calmly, although he had previously considered having the four maids in front of him help him change his clothes.
But upon closer reflection, it was indeed a bit too shameful; as an ordinary person in his previous life, he still found it somewhat difficult to accept.
It's hard to accept this kind of thing, at least in the short term, but maybe after a while, my mindset will change.
"Then can I help you change your shoes?"
The maid smiled sweetly and, without waiting for Wu Liang to speak, skillfully rolled up Wu Liang's trouser leg.
It's clear that this isn't the first time she's served Wu Liang, at least that's what Wu Liang thinks.
"Okay, if you don't mind."
Seeing that the maid had already started to fight, Wu Liang felt it was inappropriate to refuse her any longer.
He simply let the other person fidget with his trouser legs and take off his shoes.
However, to be fair, he actually did a lot of exercise today.
Not only did he run over a thousand meters, but he also taught those thugs a lesson.
What if she has smelly feet? Wouldn't that be embarrassing? Wouldn't the smell bother the maid?
Suddenly remembering the amount of exercise he had done at the academy that day, Wu Liang looked at the maid in front of him with some concern. It would be embarrassing if he made her smell bad.
"Your feet don't smell at all, don't worry."
"Young master, you take a bath with a sachet every day, so there's no way you'd smell bad. Even when you sweat, you won't smell bad."
The maid noticed Wu Liang's right foot slightly retracting. When did the young master become so considerate?
She slowly raised her head to look at Wu Liang, and the maid was momentarily mesmerized by his handsome face.
Huh? Young Master Wu Liang's face is actually quite handsome?
"Ahem... Is that so... That's good..."
Wu Liang, who had already changed into slippers, coughed awkwardly twice. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there really was such a thing.
Although Wu Liang is a wicked young master, he still pays great attention to his personal hygiene.
They put a lot of effort into cleaning, using sachets and pouches to bathe their bodies and make them very clean.
It also leaves a faint floral scent on the body, so Wu Liang doesn't smell too much even when he sweats.
"Young master, then we won't go up with you. We'll prepare some tableware for you."
The maid, regaining her senses, quickly stood up and lowered her head to hide her slightly flushed face.
That feeling I just had was definitely not an illusion; the young master really had become much more handsome.
Moreover, it doesn't evoke fear like before; instead, it gives you an irresistible urge to get close to it.
"Okay, by the way, have you seen Milutin and Yao Shi?"
"They prepared dinner tonight, so why haven't we seen them yet?"
Wu Liang looked around, wondering where Milutin and Yao Shi had gone.
Didn't I ask them to prepare dinner? Why are they nowhere to be seen?
"Ah... Lady Milutin and Yao Shi..."
The maid raised her head and spoke somewhat awkwardly, but she didn't know how to explain.
After all, those two lords are still alive...
"Lady Milutin and Yao Shi are preparing for you in the kitchen. You should be able to dine shortly."
"Before that, young master, please go upstairs and rest for a while. We will come back to remind you later."
Another maid, wearing glasses, pushed up her glasses and said casually.
She occasionally gave the maids around her a meaningful look, reminding them that the young master couldn't know what the two adults were doing yet.
If the young master were to actually witness that hellish cooking scene...
P. S.: I have now paid back all the missed chapters for the October monthly tickets and the missed chapters for the Fire Scrolls.
After that, I started making up for the missed chapters due to monthly tickets and fire scrolls in November.
Chapter Sixteen: The Maids' Approval
"Has the young master already gone back to his room to rest?"
The bespectacled maid asked her companion, who was gradually descending the stairs.
The young master's early return was completely unexpected.
"Yes, young master has returned to his room. It feels like he's a completely different person since he came back from the hospital."
"I used to be quite afraid of the young master, but now the young master is... I feel like I'm starting to fall in love."
The maid who had changed Wu Liang's shoes earlier nimbly jumped down the stairs and said somewhat shyly.
A faint blush appeared on her fair face, as if she could hardly believe what had just happened.
The maid, feeling a little flutter in her heart, looked longingly towards the room upstairs.
Is this really the young master she used to know? She never expected him to become so stylish.
"Perhaps, as Miss Milutin and the others said, the young master is no longer the good-for-nothing he used to be."
The maid pushed up her glasses and spoke casually.
Perhaps the young master has truly awakened something extraordinary, which is why he has become so mature and charming.
The maids were delighted by the young master's transformation, which surprised the master and mistress as well.
The current young master is more in line with the identity of the eldest young master of the Wu family, and she is very pleased about it.
If the young master can continue to grow in this way, perhaps he will be able to gain the master's true approval.
"Are we really sure it's okay if we don't tell the young master the truth?"
"After all, the young master is the last person to dine; what if something happens..."
The two blonde maids behind her spoke with some concern.
Logically, they should have reported the situation in the kitchen to the young master beforehand.
After all, it's the young master who will suffer in the end. Wouldn't it be better to let him prepare first?
"I think so too. When I was about to tell the young master, Sister Lei stopped me."
