Chapter 56: Understood master!
Ashen's room, the next morning,
*Yawn*
Ashen woke up with a loud yawn.
Soon his eyes opened as he found himself alone in the bed. Shiyue had left and he smiled: "Looks like she didn't attempt an attack on me in the night. It seems she has learned from her past mistakes"
Ashen had a formation in his room that would attack anyone who released killing intent in the room. It would engage the attacker, giving Ashen enough time to wake up and get ready to fight.
Ashen desired to test Shiyue with this, to know how far she would go. If she had decided to kill Ashen, then he wouldn't show her any mercy. He would rape her mother in front of her and would kill Veli and Shiyue despite the world's will's retaliation.
That was just how he would treat anyone who would dare to go after his life, but since Shiyue was smart enough to not go there, he would be lenient and would give her a chance to serve him well.
However, right now, his plans were somewhat different. He had two days in his house before he would've to go to the entrance test to take care of Mo Fan and he planned to make full use of these two days.
First, he went in front of Ling Yun's room.
*Knock* *Knock*
He knocked before waiting for her to open the door.
The door opened a few seconds later, revealing the beautiful Ling Yun.
She bowed to Ashen despite her unwillingness. Ashen nodded before entering her room and closing the door.
Ling Yun's eyes widened in horror, fearing for the worst.
Ashen narrowed his eyes as he glared at her and asked in his cold voice: "You... Don't you know why have I brought you here?"
Ling Yun felt fear, seeing the look in his eyes, however, she replied nevertheless: "T-To be your maid!"
"Then why aren't you doing what a maid should do?" Ashen asked with his previous expression.
"Lord, I've prepared your tea and food in the kitchen! Isn't that what a maid is supposed to do?" Ling Yun asked with an expression as if she was being wronged.
Ashen, however, didn't agree with her as he said: "No, a maid should serve her master herself. She should inform him whenever the food is ready. She should serve him tea in his room. She should be ready to serve her master at the beck and call of his master. She should stay close to him. She should greet him and his guests with respect.
She should ask permission before leaving!"
He narrowed his eyes some more as if containing amber in them, he asked: "Now, Do you think you've done what a maid is supposed to do?"
Ling Yun's eyes widened as she listened to Ashen listing all these chores and some of them made her understand why he was angry.
She had ignored Veli and left without asking for his permission, that must've damaged his reputation.
Her head hung low as she nodded, it could be seen that she was apologetic: "I understand lord, I will do as you say from now!"
Her tears were on the verge of falling, never in her life had she been treated like this. No one ever scolded her and everyone praised her talent and beauty, however, now she was reduced to a mere maid.
Seeing her on the verge of crying, Ashen sighed: "Sigh... Don't cry, I'm sorry for being so harsh! It was just that you disrespected me and my guests. My guest complained about you so I had to act like this!"
Ashen patted her head before wiping the tears that had welled up in the corners of her eyes. He was so gentle with her that She felt confused about his real nature.
Veli glanced at his gentle expression as he was wiping off her tears, her red eyes shining with concern!
"So... Handsome..." For the first time, she noticed just how handsome Ashen was. Previously, only Mo Fan filled his head so she wouldn't even glance at any other man. Even when Ashen met her in the cell, She didn't focus on his face and didn't notice just how handsome this man was.
However, now that he was being so gentle with her, she couldn't take her eyes off his handsome face.
Her heart fluttered as she took her eyes off him, looking at the ground. She didn't want to feel this way, having Mo Fan as her sweetheart.
"Ling Yun, I know this is difficult for you, however, your relationship with Mo Fan forces me to treat you this way. You know Mo Chen wants Mo Fan dead and wanted to take you away with him. His plan was to threaten Mo Fan with you. Also, since Mo Chen is a womanizer, you wouldn't be safe from him and he would've forced you into his bed."
Ashen framed this lie, acting with a compelled expression as Ling Yun's eyes widened in shock.
Just what was happening in front of her?
She was confused.
"When I learned of this, I decided to save you. I just couldn't see someone innocent like you suffer such a horrible fate. As Mo Chen's friend, I couldn't oppose him openly and hence, I convinced him to let me keep you as my maid. Like this, I would be the bad guy and he could release the news of you taken by me to lure out Mo Fan!"
"What?" Ling Yun's eyes were wide open in shock to learn of this truth, though this truth was fabricated.
She looked at Ashen's face with an apologetic expression as she held his hand before expressing her shock: "T-then that means that all this time I misunderstood you? I thought that you were a bad person who was abusing his power and enjoyed humiliating me"
Tears appeared in her eyes as she apologized: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being so rude to you when you did so much to save me. I now understand why you did what you did. If I stayed in the sect, Mo Family would've taken me with them and I would've just become that Mo Chen's plaything. Thank You, Thank You, Young Master!
How can I ever repay you for saving me like this?"
Ashen made his signature gentle expression as he caressed her head gently, speaking with care: "You don't have to apologize, Ling Yun. I should be the one to apologize for treating you like a maid. However, I am compelled. If someone sees that you're not treated like a maid then Mo Chen would come to know that I lied to him to save you. That would break my friend's heart and increase trouble for me!"
"Hmm..." Ling Yun hummed in understanding before raising her head to ask: "But why are you friends with someone like Mo Chen? Isn't he a bad person? You said it yourself and if you took the trouble of saving me then you must be a good and kind person, So why?"
Ashen, smiling warmly at her, answered: "I'm his friend because he considers me his friend, he treats me kindly and helps me whenever I need it. He does what a friend should so isn't it my duty to treat him as a friend despite his bad nature?"
He asked gently, his voice soothing to hear. From Ling Yun's point of view, he seemed like the kindest person she had met.
She nodded in agreement as she assured: "Young Lord, I'm not an ungrateful person. Since you've saved me, I will do as you say. I will act as a maid as you've said!"
Ashen smiled softly, nodding in agreement before acting as if he remembered something: "Ah, also, call me master in front of others. It is what a maid calls her master!"
Ling Yun nodded in understanding: "Understood master!"
"Alright, I will take my leave now!" Ashen said before leaving her room.
His next destination was the milf next door.
He had three plans to conquer her.
First, to force her into his bed since she didn't have the world's protection, however, he was against this idea. If he forced her, where would be the fun in that?
It would be too easy for his own taste.
Second was to manipulate her. Inform her about the insect that had her life in its hand and threatened her, however, that would most likely wouldn't work.
She didn't seem like the one who is afraid of death, she wouldn't obey him with this.
Second was to make a deal with her. He would promise her that he would help her acquire the Bi family and become the head of it. To make her believe him, he would reveal his identity and ask for her body in return, however, that would be too much work.
His favorite was the third one. This route was his favorite to use on milfs. It would make sex with her more exciting for both of them.
He had given it a specific name in his past life and that was -
A Youngster can't control himself in front of a hot milf, route!
