Chapter 327: Who’s the Strongest Maid in the Puhan Family

Chapter 327: Who’s the Strongest Maid in the Puhan Family

The Lin family encountered some hiccups during their grand celebration, resulting in far less joy than expected.

Oddly enough, this was the outcome Lin was hoping to see.

However, he intended to merely make a brief appearance, but instead found himself embroiled in a series of troublesome incidents.

The most outrageous part was that the Lin family mansion was saved, and he was bestowed the honorable title of Knight and Hero.

He believed he had helped Liu Shuqin uncover a remedy, but it turned out she hadn’t developed anything; he merely hinted at it.

What a mess he caused.

On his way to Chuzhen, he pulled off a miraculous stunt against the Dongwei People.

In reality, it was just a disaster triggered by a free meat feast.

If there were some sort of merit system, he could probably rack up enough points to obtain several sets of divine gear.

He had tried shouting to the void when no one was around: “Dog system, come out!”

Of course, there was no response.

Having lived a life without a system in his previous life, naturally, there was none this time around either.

Lin Nuo returned to Tianling Mountain, and Luo Xiaoxue naturally headed back to the royal city. This trip yielded many rewards, as she learned how to handle various matters from Lin Nuo and also grasped some truths.

The greatest truth was to be tougher against enemies and not to speak of mercy.

Of course, she couldn’t immediately implement this advice; it would take a bit more time to adapt.

In Luo Xiaoxue’s view, Lin Nuo already knew her identity as a princess but chose not to address it directly. Instead, he dropped some truths during their interactions for her to realize on her own.

On the surface, Lin the Hero pretended not to care about court affairs, yet he was subtly nudging her toward reasonable advice.

The matters of the realm were beyond her capacity as a mere woman to handle alone. Lin the Hero became her guiding light amid confusion, pointing the way.

Of course, Lin Nuo had no idea she was Princess Luo Xiaoxue. He was just chatting casually with her.

But knowing she was destined to be an Empress, he couldn’t be bothered to engage with her. After all, the principle was vividly apparent in her case. With the entire realm hunting him down and employing all sorts of cruel tactics, she certainly didn’t need anyone to teach her.

Luo Xiaoxue’s current goal was to resist the Dongwei organization. If their influence wasn’t quelled, the royal family would struggle to regain its former glory; without power, how could she stabilize the world?

After Lin Nuo returned to Tianling Mountain, the first thing he did was look for Mu Yiting. Life was tough without a few bottles of Pengkuo Water.

However, he couldn’t find Mu Yiting; it seemed she wouldn’t be back at Tianling Mountain for a while. After all, she was currently under Ling Meng’s command and wouldn’t be returning so easily.

Unfortunately, the Pengkuo Water he concocted didn’t taste right this time, while Mu Yiting seemed to have left out some crucial steps in her recipe, leaving him with only a half-baked formula.

He might not even have a proper recipe for making Pengkuo Water.

There was no choice but to wait for Mu Yiting’s return.

Lin Nuo first headed back to his residence, and Ruo’er followed him. She started tidying up Lin Nuo’s room, changing the bedding, washing and airing it out, and preparing food for him. Her maid skills were far superior to Qin Shili’s.

“Master, meal time~”

Ruo’er brought in a tray filled with dishes and rice, along with condiments and sweet soup for Lin Nuo.

“Sit down.”

“Okay~”

Just like before, Ruo’er, as the maid, sat at the table with her master, Lin Nuo. Unlike him, she used a little spoon to eat, resembling a cute, innocent little girl.

“Master is amazing! What was supposed to be just a formality turned out to be an act of chivalry! If it weren’t for you, the Lin family would have faced great peril~”

“Enough! I’m already regretting my existence!”

“Even the Immortals respect you greatly! It’s not that immortals are superior; there’s only you as incredible as this throughout the world~”

When it came to praising Lin Nuo, Ruo’er could talk endlessly for days and nights without stopping.

“Alright, enough of that. No talking during meals! Can’t you stuff your mouth with all that meat instead?”

Lin Nuo picked up a large rib and placed it in Ruoer’s bowl—a generous portion for the little fox to nibble on.

The little fox wiggled her fluffy big ears and tail, expressing delight. After all, being served meat by her master was a treat!

This rib is so delicious~ It must be because Master served it to me~

Looking at Ruo’er’s silly, adorable expression, Lin Nuo felt a bit helpless—he couldn’t figure out what this little fox was thinking again.

The two enjoyed their meal peacefully. Ruo’er wiped down the dining table with a cloth, then took out the bowls and plates together.

“Ruo’er, come back after you’re done tidying up.”

“Oh, okay~”

Under normal circumstances, Ruo’er would leave after cleaning up, but this time Lin Nuo instructed her to return.

Of course, it was good to come back! Spending time alone with Master was definitely great!

So she worked even harder, increasing her efficiency several times, and soon finished washing the dishes while humming a little tune and swaying her fluffy tail and ears as she bounced back to Lin Nuo’s room.

“Finished so quickly?”

“Yep, yep~ Ruo’er’s efficiency has always been this high~”

“Did you learn some kind of magic? Remember, don’t use your magic at Xuanyun Sect; I’m sure Dong Xiyan has told you about this. The rules of Zifeng Valley must be followed.”

“Ruo’er didn’t use magic~ It’s just that I’m faster at working now~ Must be thanks to Master’s wise teachings.”

“I don’t recall teaching maids how to work.”

“Anyway, it’s all Master’s credit~” Ruo’er squinted and smiled.

Lin Nuo patted her head and said, “Stop buttering me up. Learned how to flatter while at the Lin family, huh?”

“No way~”

Ruo’er held onto Lin Nuo’s hand resting on her head, seemingly unwilling to let him go.

“Ruo’er has achieved all that today thanks to Master’s help~ Without Master, there wouldn’t be a Ruo’er today, that’s just the plain truth.”

“Alright, can I let go of your hand now?”

“Can Master keep petting me? It feels so nice~”

The adorable Ruo’er squinted her eyes and smiled, her soft voice melting hearts.

“Do you foxes like to be petted on the head?”

“Not really~ Just Ruo’er wants Master to do it. If anyone else touches my head, I feel really annoyed.”

“You mean I’m not a person?”

“Aiya, that’s not it~”

Ruo’er panicked, realizing her slip of the tongue might have irritated her master.

“Master is a great hero shining with humanity! Ruo’er is just tongue-tied; please don’t take offense! If you want to reprimand me, feel free, I’m ready for any punishment.”

“My patience isn’t so small as to bicker with a maid like you. Now let go; you’re in my way.”

“Oh, okay~”

Ruo’er released her grip, and Lin Nuo gently patted her little head.

That fluffy little noggin was absolutely irresistible.

Ruo’er, like a lovable little pet, accepted her master’s petting, feeling utterly content as she squinted her eyes.

She thought how wonderful it would be to lie sprawled out on the bed, being petted by Master, while also licking him—it would be even better with double cultivation~
