Chapter 156: Calling Her Lady (Part Three)

Shen Xitang looked disdainfully at Chu Ling.

“So, in what identity do you come to see Lu Ye?” Shen Xitang asked.

“I’m the young master’s maidservant!”

Chu Ling perked up and declared.

“And where’s your proof?”

Shen Xitang spread her hands.

“What proof?” Chu Ling was taken aback.

“Just because you say you’re Lu Ye’s maidservant, does that make you one? I could claim to be Lu Ye’s mother; does that make me his mom?”

“How dare you insult the young master!”

Chu Ling was furious.

Shen Xitang laughed happily, “I can insult him because we’re close! You’re going to try saying you’re his mom? Let’s see if Lu Ye doesn’t sew your mouth shut!”

Chu Ling was both mad and helpless.

She had come to apologize to Lu Ye, not to start a fight.

“No proof…”

The contract for her servitude was burned within the first three minutes of her rebirth.

“Without proof, how can you claim to be a maidservant? I’d even suspect Lu Ye doesn’t know you. Fine, fine, just leave. If everyone claiming to be Lu Ye’s maidservant got to see him, he wouldn’t have time to cultivate.”

“No, I really have important matters to discuss with the young master! You have to let me in, or if I delay his important affairs, you won’t bear the consequences!”

Shen Xitang showed no intention of moving.

Instead, she continued to block her way.

“Of course, if you can’t prove you’re Lu Ye’s maidservant, it doesn’t really matter. I actually have a way for you to prove it.”

Chu Ling held back her urge to lash out.

“What method?”

Shen Xitang smiled gently, and in that moment, the world seemed to lose its colors.

“Simple, just call me ‘Lady!’”

Chu Ling froze for a moment, then exploded in anger.

Even though she claimed to be Lu Ye’s maidservant, she had never truly positioned herself as one.

“Young master” was a habitual term.

Lu Ye had once said, among them, there would be no division between wives and concubines; he treated all women equally and cherished them greatly.

Chu Ling wasn’t even a concubine, so how could she really consider herself a maidservant?

Her status as a maid was akin to Yue Hongling, maintaining her position through a special title.

Didn’t she see how she called Bai Qiulan “Sister Bai”?

Now, asking her to call Shen Xitang “Lady”?

“You must be joking!”

Shen Xitang wasn’t surprised at all, shrugging her shoulders.

“See? Since you’re not Lu Ye’s maidservant, you have no ties to him. You can leave.”

“I’m not just his maidservant; I’m his wife! Let me in!”

Shen Xitang rolled her eyes so hard they almost hit the ceiling. “You don’t even qualify to be Lu Ye’s maidservant and you fantasize about being his wife. You’re just like a toad trying to chase a swan—too ugly for the play!”

“With a face that’s just okay, a body that’s just okay, and cultivation that’s just okay, you think you have the qualifications to be Lu Ye’s maidservant? If Lu Ye wanted to recruit a maid, he could find hundreds better from the Grand Dao Sect! What are you thinking?”

Chu Ling felt like her teeth were about to shatter from grinding them.

How was she a toad? How was she just okay?

Her beauty could topple empires, her waist was like a willow, every part of her body was perfectly toned.

Yet now, Shen Xitang reduced her to nothing.

Chu Ling wanted to rebut, but when she looked at Shen Xitang’s stunning features and flawless figure, she really couldn’t compare.

Compared to Shen Xitang, she was completely overshadowed, including that aura.

The aura Shen Xitang exhibited was just like the title she claimed.

Lady!

That was completely the demeanor of a lady.

It’s known that initially, Shen Xitang had wanted to appear as a cute little girl.

Bouncing around like a little rabbit; who wouldn’t love that?

But she thought it over, a loli? What kind of aura does a loli have? This system wants to be a queen! A queen that crushes everything and outshines all!

Chu Ling was being stared down by Shen Xitang, her aura weakening with each second.

Shen Xitang said nothing, just kept staring at her.

“Calling you ‘Lady’ really proves I’m Lu Ye’s maidservant?” Chu Ling gritted her teeth and asked.

Shen Xitang nodded.

“As the Lady, I can prove it!”

Chu Ling’s mouth moved, struggling internally—everything to win back the young master!

Some humiliation was worth it!

Finally, Chu Ling mustered all her courage and softly called out.

“Lady…”

Shen Xitang pawed at her ear.

“What? I didn’t hear you.”

Chu Ling bit her lip hard.

“Lady!”

This time her voice was loud enough, and Shen Xitang heard it clearly.

“Mhm!”

Shen Xitang responded.

“Alright, that counts as you proving you’re Lu Ye’s maidservant.”

Shen Xitang said with a smile.

“Then can I go see the young master now?” Chu Ling was eager to step inside.

“Outrageous!”

Shen Xitang shouted loudly.

“You a mere maid, what do you think you’re doing seeing the master? If you have business with me, you’ll report it first! Dressed so flamboyantly, looking like a little temptress, now you must change into plain clothes before you come back and explain what you need!”

Chu Ling’s eyes turned red.

She glared at Shen Xitang fiercely.

Shen Xitang met her gaze without fear, instead holding an expression of mockery and disdain.

“What’s wrong? Staring so wide? This is how you treat your Lady, showing no manners? A person like you isn’t fit to be a maid—can’t even do that properly!”

“Stabbing the master in the back, disrespecting the Lady, ignorant of rank and hierarchy, with empty hands and no shine in your eyes, daydreaming of climbing the social ladder, truly embarrassing!”

“If you’re a maid, then learn to follow the maid’s rules. When you were still with the master, people treated you nicely because of him. Now that you’re away from the master, what are you worth!”

“An innate sword body? I could throw a rock and hit a hundred innate sword bodies!”

Chu Ling’s eyes were bloodshot.

The Magic Sword trembled uncontrollably.

“What? You want to kill your Lady?”

Chu Ling endured the raging killing intent in her heart. She had come to ease the relationship, not to make it worse.

After hearing Yue Hongling talk about how green tea Shen Xitang was, making people furious, she hadn’t believed it much.

What was green tea? She thought it was utterly useless.

You fumble around, and others will just find you disgusting!

But now, Shen Xitang was showing behaviors that went beyond just green tea?

She really got Chu Ling riled up.

On the spot, she ran away in anger.

Chu Ling feared that if she stayed here even another second, her Magic Sword would just snap and take Shen Xitang’s head off.

Watching Chu Ling flee, Shen Xitang proudly lifted her chin.

So easily defeated!

This system is mighty!
