The servant glanced at Zu An and hesitated.
The elder said, "Speak freely."
The servant then said, "I led the two young ladies to the herb garden to gather herbs. Everything was fine at first, but then Steward Pi suddenly appeared."
"Chief Steward Pi!" The Grand Elder's expression changed upon hearing this.
Zuan was curious about the background of this Steward Pi and why the Grand Elder would react this way.
The servant glanced cautiously at Zu'an before continuing, "As soon as Steward Pi arrived, he saw the young master's two maids and thought they were beautiful, so he tried to harass them. The older one protected the younger one, and a conflict ensued with Steward Pi..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zuan had already vanished from his spot and rushed straight towards the medicinal field.
The elder's expression changed, and he hurriedly chased after him: "Young master, don't be impulsive."
Zuan snorted coldly: "What, they've already bullied us to our faces, can't we even act impulsively?"
The elder smiled bitterly, "Young master, have you forgotten that Steward Pi is the master's... confidant? He is extremely favored by the master, and if you offend him, you will basically have no good end."
Zaun's face was ashen. He wasn't Donar, so why would he care about being the general manager?
The elder continued to quickly advise, "Young master, we haven't received the ancestral inheritance yet. We should keep a low profile. They're just a few women; it's not worth falling out with Steward Pi."
Zuan snorted coldly: "Some things can be compromised, but some things cannot. In the demon world, the strong are respected. If our woman is taken from us in front of others, how will the other races view our True Demon Clan?"
Sensing the anger in his voice, the Grand Elder immediately became anxious: "Young Master, you handled Steward Pi quite well the last few times, didn't you? You even gave him a maid last time, so why are you so impatient this time?"
His voice carried a hint of doubt as he spoke.
Zuan was startled, not expecting that a flaw had been exposed here, but he reacted quickly: "Times have changed. Before, I was so humble and submissive, but he didn't appreciate it. Instead, he bullied me even more. If I back down this time, who knows what kind of excessive demands this guy will make to the True Demon Clan later."
"At that time, other races will think that our True Demon race is weak and easy to bully, and they will all come up and take a bite. No matter how strong our True Demon race is, we will not be able to withstand it."
Upon hearing his words, the Grand Elder's expression shifted. What he said did make some sense; this Steward Pi was truly outrageous.
However, he couldn't help but laugh and say, "With so many reasons, young master, you must really like those two maids."
Sensing his relaxed tone, Zuan knew he had passed this hurdle: "I don't deny that this is part of the reason."
As they spoke, the two arrived at the edge of the herb field, where a group of demons were gathered.
Various demons were flying around the two women with mocking laughter, occasionally trying to touch their bodies, but each time they were blocked by the mature woman.
Jiang Luofu shielded Ji Xiaoxi behind her, completely unaffected by the various lewd and laughing demons around her, and used various skills to protect herself.
Ji Xiaoxi was also trying to fight back to help her share the pressure, but her cultivation level was too low, so her role was minimal.
Meanwhile, in the distance, a group of demon guards surrounded a plump, white demon, watching all this with smiles on their faces.
Especially when I saw Jiang Luofu showing off her beautiful legs with all sorts of flying kicks, I couldn't help but whistle.
The elder couldn't help but glance at Jiang Luofu again, thinking to himself that it was no wonder the young master liked them so much; they were indeed very beautiful.
Let alone those young men, even I, if I were twenty years younger, would probably be tempted by those legs.
The petite girl next to him had a timid and adorable charm that easily aroused a man's protective instincts.
"My beauty, don't resist anymore. Just give in to our steward. Our steward is very good at taking care of people."
"That's right. In our world, Steward Pi is second only to one demon and above all others. As long as you follow him, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."
"If you do not comply, your fate will be worse than death."
Several demons scurried around, leering and teasing him.
Although they have a torso and limbs like humans, they are bluish-gray all over, with two pointed horns on their heads and a long, thin jaw, making their heads look like an inverted triangle.
Some were armed with swords, while others were armed with weapons resembling lances, and they attacked the two women from all directions.
However, Jiang Luofu had eight flying swords resembling hairpins around her, completely protecting the two of them and giving them no chance to get close.
"Have you two not eaten? You can't even handle two women?" At this moment, a little demon bowing and scraping beside the plump white demon couldn't help but shout.
The little demon had earthy brown skin all over its body, a huge mouth that took up half of its face, and its body covered with all sorts of disgusting bumps, making it look like a toad demon.
Hearing his shout, the guards dared not hold back any longer: "This woman is really troublesome. Let's not be gentle with her, let's get serious."
The surrounding people responded in unison, intensifying their attacks on the two women.
Jiang Luofu immediately felt the pressure increase. Just as she was getting worried, several black swords of energy suddenly came from the side and directly pierced through the demons who were attacking her.
"ah!"
A series of screams rang out as all the attacking demons were nailed to the ground and killed.
The two women turned around and saw Zu An's arrival. Ji Xiaoxi was both surprised and delighted: "Zu..."
Jiang Luofu hurriedly interrupted, calling out first, "Master!"
Ji Xiaoxi reacted instantly and also called out, "Master!"
Her little face was rosy.
Jiang Luofu's cheeks were also a little hot at this moment. It was the first time she had called him "master" in front of so many people.
The key point is that the other person is younger than her and was once her student in Brightmoon City. That feeling is a strange mix of shame and unease.
Zuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two were safe and sound.
Hearing the two distinct voices of their masters and seeing the two women, each with their own unique charm, Zu An couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.
However, he quickly regained his composure and focused his gaze on the plump, white demon in the distance who was clearly the leader.
It's impossible to tell what his prototype is; he has delicate skin and a face like a demon doll with a full beard, creating a strange and eerie feeling.
This must be the Steward Pi that the Grand Elder was talking about.
Seeing Zu'an's actions, Steward Pi's face darkened, and the toad demon next to him jumped up first: "How dare you! How dare you openly kill Steward Pi's subordinates? Are you trying to rebel?"
