"Alright, alright, stop crying." Even as a woman herself, Luo Xi had no idea that women could shed so many tears.

She had no choice but to take out a clean handkerchief and carefully wipe away the tears on Liu Xiaoyu's face.

"You won't be pretty if you cry anymore. I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?" she said, touching her head as she spoke.

Feeling embarrassed that someone so big would pat her head like that, Liu Xiaoyu blushed as she accepted the handkerchief: "Master, I, I can do it myself."

Azure Dragon: "..."

Is this really Lady Luo?

When did Lady Luo learn the meaning of gentleness? And how to comfort people?

Isn't she more ruthless than the original poster in every fight and murder?

Jiuxian, with his face covered in black ink, stood there quietly.

"Master, why don't we find a place to rest first?" Qinglong suggested, barely suppressing the urge to burst out laughing, as he saw his master in such a disheveled state for the first time.

He dared to say that if he laughed out loud now, his fate would be many times worse than that of the White Tiger.

Oh no! He quickly pressed his head back with his hand, refusing to look at the poster's dark face.

"I'll go find a place to boil some hot water for you so you can bathe and change."

Nine Strings could see that Azure Dragon's shoulders were shaking, but he didn't say anything today, only nodding and saying, "Okay, let's go over there."

He pointed to a mountain villa not far from here, which should be where Big Beard and his men were staying. It was some distance away from here, so the fire hadn't reached it.

It's a good place to rest and recuperate.

Liu Xiaoyu overheard their conversation and quickly wiped away her tears: "Master, I'll go prepare your bathing things too."

After saying that, she left with Qinglong in a flurry of activity, completely different from her tearful appearance just moments before.

Rosie chuckled: "..."

However, it must be said that having such a subordinate has significantly improved my quality of life.

What should have been a simple shower turned into a full-service experience. Luo Xi dared to say that she had never taken such a thorough bath in her two lives.

It felt like even the individual strands of hair had been meticulously styled.

"Who taught you this?" Rose asked curiously.

Liu Xiaoyu paused in her massage of Luo Xi: "Yang Qing hired a nanny to teach her."

Luo Xi finally understood: "Don't overthink it. So what if they could bully you before? They're all gone now."

In chaotic times, whoever survives to the end is the winner.

Liu Xiaoyu's face was full of smiles again: "Yes, they are all dead, whether it is Yang Qing or Yang Erlang, but this servant is still alive."

So what if I deceive her? So what if I force her to do things she doesn't want to do?

"My lady, thank you!" she said sincerely. "If it weren't for you, I might..."

It's unclear when it started, but Liu Xiaoyu began referring to herself as a servant in front of Luo Xi. Luo Xi tried to correct her several times, but to no avail, so she could only let her be.

"Why are you saying all this? You're mine. If anyone bullies you, isn't that a slap in my face?" Luo Xi said.

"Hmm!" Liu Xiaoyu smiled at Luo Xi, but silently thought to herself: But I wasn't your person back then, yet you still saved me.

“My lady, I don’t think it’s a bad deal. You see, with these skills, it will be much easier to take care of you.”

Her smile reached her eyes: "Otherwise, with my background, how would I know there are so many ways to take a bath? When I first learned, I was dumbfounded."

Lying on the bed, Luo Xi was so comfortable she was almost asleep: "This skill is really good."

"Ten more taels of your monthly allowance."

Rose was never stingy with the people who worked diligently by his side.

Liu Xiaoyu wanted to refuse, but considering her master's uncompromising nature and the fact that he had stolen—no, taken—so much silver from the bandits' den, she remained silent.

That night, Luo Xi slept exceptionally well, and early the next morning, she happily led Liu Xiaoyu out of the room.

The fire at the site of last night's fight has been extinguished. Qinglong was leading people to clean up the mess when he saw Luo Xi approaching and bowed respectfully.

"Madam Luo, the Master isn't here. He made a breakthrough in his internal energy last night and is currently in seclusion."

Breakthrough? Luo Xi was taken aback. It seemed to be due to the spiritual spring water. It was worth it for him to drink so much.

"I understand. Tell someone to keep an eye on things and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Qinglong was taken aback: "Yes, Lady Luo!"

I wonder what they went through this time? I feel like their relationship has grown much closer.

"How's it going on your end? Have you dealt with all the remaining fugitives?" Rose asked again.

She was so tired last night that she fell asleep without realizing it after taking a shower. Qinglong was handling everything here.

Qinglong was unable to find anyone to report: "Not a single one escaped. This time, all the subordinates of the nearby Red Mansion were involved, and not a single henchman, big or small, from Shenxianju escaped."

"We searched their stronghold and found a lot of grain and silver. I had them transport it to you."

“No need.” Luo Xi raised her hand to stop her: “Have everyone take it all away. You’ve worked hard this time. Just distribute the stuff directly.”

Qinglong's eyes lit up; there was this benefit too: "Then what about the Lord of the Pavilion..."

“I will talk to him.”

"Yes, Lady Luo." Qinglong's tone became even more respectful.

Rewards for doing good deeds are something that has never happened to the landlord before.

Luo Xi nodded to him, then led Liu Xiaoyu around.

It was at this moment that Rosie realized that this was actually a huge farm, centered on this hilltop with white walls and blue tiles, stretching for miles with fields and orchards.

It's just that it hasn't rained for a long time, so it looks a bit desolate.
