As soon as Xiao Hong Xin finished speaking, Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but think he had misheard her.
“Hong Xin, are you saying you want to serve me? No way! I can’t honestly see you as a maid. Besides, I really don’t need anyone to serve me.”
Sighing dramatically, he added, “But if you want to stay, suit yourself. I’m going to continue my training now.”
At that moment, Xiao Hong Xin directly stepped in front of Jiang Xuan, blocking his escape.
“Young Master, it seems you didn’t listen to me carefully. What I meant was… it’s time for you to serve me properly.”
“Since Liu Yun-sama has already enjoyed that privilege, it’s now my turn to enjoy…”
Jiang Xuan: “???????”
“That sounds a bit odd, don’t you think? You just said I’m the young master and you’re the maid. How does it make any sense for me to serve you?”
“Oh? So, you’re refusing? It looks like you’ve forgotten something. You’ve served me a few times before, and it’s high time you remember…”
Jiang Xuan: “…”
At this point, Jiang Xuan’s inner thoughts were spiraling into a comedic crisis:
【What on Earth is this reverse madness? I can’t deal with this kind of maid! I remember when the Deputy Pavilion Master was all calm and collected. What happened? This is totally a ‘let the wolf into the house’ situation! Now, with Liu Yun out of the picture, if this maid gets pushy… I’m not sure I can resist! And with the Great Sage starting the ultimate mode, no way I can’t serve at all! Looks like I gotta whip out the big talk.】
Putting on a somber face, Jiang Xuan spoke with a quivering voice, “I’ve more or less forgotten everything from back then. Let’s consider it compensation for all you’ve done for Xuantian Pavilion, Hong Xin. But I made it clear long ago—we owe each other nothing now…”
He continued, “Now that you aren’t being pressured by Liu Yun anymore, it’s largely because I stepped in to plead your case. Honestly, you should know better than me that we… can never go back to the way things were. Please keep your distance…”
Hearing this, Xiao Hong Xin blinked, somewhat stunned.
While Jiang Xuan took the opportunity to slip away, seeking a quiet corner to resume his training in the ancestral dragon’s body technique, Xiao Hong Xin unexpectedly took hold of his hand.
“Young Master, you’re right; we really can’t go back. But please grant me one last request—just one more time, serve me, and let’s conclude our past on a perfect note. If you do, I promise… I won’t ever bother you again, and I will be a proper maid.”
Jiang Xuan: “????????”
For Xiao Hong Xin’s outrageous request, Jiang Xuan was utterly skeptical. This sounded just like Liu Yun’s often-said “last time” during their intimate moments, which had zero credibility.
Outwardly, he bluntly replied, “No way, I refuse! I won’t leave you with any lingering feelings. That will only harm you.”
“Are you really planning to be this heartless? You were so happy you even shed tears when you served me back then…”
Jiang Xuan: “………”
With a slight recollection of that cringe-worthy moment, Jiang Xuan considered it all a dark history. At that time, he had just begun his training and was in terrible shape.
As the saying goes, a flower-faced boy suffers betrayal and ultimately gives up his dignity, admitting his mistakes. Those… were just a few embarrassing memories.
As for now, bowing his head was out of the question… he had moved way past that helpless young boy.
Returning to the present, Jiang Xuan coolly rejected her again, “You can think of me as heartless. I no longer owe you anything. And I hope you start recognizing your own identity—keep those inappropriate thoughts to yourself.”
After saying this, he mentally high-fived himself for his cool comeback. Indeed, as he got stronger, he spoke with more confidence.
Just when Jiang Xuan thought he could wrap up this little episode, Xiao Hong Xin hugged him from behind, enveloping him in a different kind of aura.
A sultry voice murmured in his ear, “Young Master, you’re getting colder and colder. But if you refuse to give in, how will you handle it when I insist…?”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!!!!!”
………..
Outside Nangong Mansion, members of Xuantian Pavilion kept collapsing one after another, falling into deep unconsciousness as a few shadows stealthily slipped inside.
Soon after, these few figures decided to split up.
Meanwhile, inside the main hall…
Luo Sheng poured spirit tea for Nangong Liu Yun while casually asking, “Those bad women have already shown up. What does Little Junior Sister plan to do?”
“Well, since they’re not hiding their energies and are splitting up, let’s capture them separately.”
“Got it, I’ll follow your lead…”
As soon as she spoke, Nangong Liu Yun and Luo Sheng vanished from sight.
In another part of the Nangong Mansion, behind a fake mountain, Qing Qi just happened to find herself face-to-face with Lan Xin.
Seeing Qing Qi show up, Lan Xin’s anger flared up. She clearly remembered that it was this ‘pig teammate’ who caused her to be caught by Nangong Liu Yun.
“小蓝欣, long time no see… are you now working for my Little Junior Sister? Given our past camaraderie, let me ask you first, want to join my side?”
Lan Xin: “…….”
