"Young Master, is breakfast ready?" Mingxi smiled knowingly, looking at the person who was wrapped up like a silkworm, and used her ultimate move.
"His Highness Zishu just informed us that he would be having breakfast with you."
Two snow-white arms emerged from under the covers first, followed by Ye Xiruo's sleepy face.
Mingxi automatically ignored the deep resentment on Ye Xiruo's face.
After absorbing the chaotic energy to cultivate in the morning, Ye Xiruo lay down to go back to sleep, but her sleep was unexpectedly ruined, and she was about to go berserk.
Mingxi pulled Ye Xiruo out of bed and quickly and gently took care of everything for her.
Therefore, when Zishu, Qingzhiyi, and Huarong arrived, they saw Ye Xiruo without the slightest imperfection. Even her makeup was exquisite and perfect, and her pinkish-purple clothes accentuated her snow-white skin.
"Junior Sister is as beautiful as a peach blossom today, and her beauty is captivating."
Ye Xiruo chuckled. It seems that the senior brother has become corrupt, and he can actually lie through his teeth.
"Why didn't you see my second senior brother?"
"The second brother went into seclusion yesterday."
"Oh." It seems that everyone except Zishu is in seclusion now.
"Why is Junior Sister looking at me like that? At my level, long periods of seclusion are no longer effective. I need to seek opportunities or improve my mental state."
"Oh." So, once Brother Xiu Qi breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he won't be going into seclusion so often. Ye Xiruo's mood brightened considerably.
"Let's eat! This morning's breakfast is crab roe buns, shrimp dumplings, crystal buns, egg pancakes, congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and lily and lotus seed soup."
Breakfast was brought over by Zhang Quan. Although Ye Xiruo didn't ask for it, she was clearly very satisfied with Zhang Quan's gesture.
"I really envy my junior sister's good luck; she actually discovered a master."
In response, Ye Xiruo could only say that if she weren't so weak, she could have easily advanced to the Grandmaster level. With top-quality ingredients in her spatial storage and a system that came with its own cheat codes, there was nothing she couldn't achieve.
This crab roe bun is so delicious! It's so much better than the crab roe bun from that supposedly 100-year-old shop that costs 500 yuan.
In the end, the four of them finished all the food again. Zishu ate the most, his chopsticks were incredibly fast and precise, and his eating manners were quite ferocious.
"Junior Sister, the people Master sent will be here soon. Why don't you wait a bit? I'll show you around."
Ye Xiruo nodded naturally: "Then I'll trouble you, Senior Brother. Remember to come back for lunch."
“We would have come back on time even if you hadn’t said anything,” Hua Rong laughed heartily.
"Young Master, this is a spatial ring that Xiao Li from the kitchen brought over last night. Please take a look."
Ye Xiruo thought about it and realized it must be the meat she had asked for before. Her mood immediately improved. Speaking of which, she hadn't eaten the deer she had taken from the kitchen last time. Why not have a barbecue today!
"Go tell the kitchen that I want to have barbecue for lunch today, and to have them prepare it in advance."
"Yes, Young Master."
Not long after Mingxi left, someone came to inform Ye Xiruo that her subordinates had delivered the items.
The visitor was a senior steward of the Danwang Palace, who rarely showed his face.
"Greetings, Young Master. You have the authority to select a total of twenty attendants, ten guards, eight stewards, and eight maids."
The head steward continued, "The maids are at the Foundation Establishment level, mainly responsible for your daily needs. The attendants mainly help you with miscellaneous tasks, and are also at the late Foundation Establishment stage. The guards protect your safety, and are at the Golden Core stage. The stewards help you with some shop-related matters."
"Thank you, Master, and thank you for your help, Manager. Let's start selecting now!"
"Young Master, you're too kind." The head steward squinted his eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashing across his wrinkled face.
"Mingxi." Ye Xiruo called out directly.
"Yes, what are your orders, Young Master?" Mingxi, who was at the Golden Core stage, had been sent by her master to take care of her long ago. If it was time to choose a maid, then Mingxi would be the one to do it.
"Choose eight maids from here, and they will be under your management from now on. The internal affairs of Ye Ruo Palace will also be entrusted to you."
"Yes, I will definitely not disappoint the young master."
Mingxi walked towards the row of maids: "Raise your heads, all of you." The people sent by the Palace Master, needless to say, are absolutely stunning in appearance; that row of maids are as fresh and beautiful as a row of scallions. It's a pity this isn't a beauty pageant.
Mingxi slowly spun around three times, then pointed her delicate white fingertips directly at the eight people: "The eight of you stay here."
"Thank you, Young Master."
"Stand aside and wait for the young master's instructions."
Mingxi released a slight amount of Nascent Soul stage pressure, and the maids' faces turned pale.
The guards were all dressed in neat black outfits, with similar attire and a similar aura.
"Where did these guards come from?" Could they have been trained from childhood?
"Young Master, some of these are orphans adopted by the Pill King Palace, some are teenagers rescued from outside, some were bought from the arena, and some were trained by our Pill King Palace from a young age."
Ye Xiruo's mouth gaped open. This was no longer the world she knew. In this world, buying and selling people was legal, and even killing was done at will. Might was the only thing that mattered.
"They have a contract with the Pill King Palace and will never betray us."
That's true. Compared to other forces, the treatment offered by the Pill King Palace is quite good. Ye Xiruo quickly composed herself and began to carefully select.
"System, ten mid-grade spirit stones, please do me a small favor."
"No bargaining on the price of 20."
"That's too much. I'm really broke lately, twelve yuan."
"Fifteen, no less."
"Thirteen, otherwise I'll go myself, tch." Ye Xiruo sneered.
"make a deal."
Thus, thanks to the system's cheating mechanism, Ye Xiruo quickly selected twenty attendants, ten guards, and eight stewards. The rest naturally followed the head steward back.
"Once the young master's strength improves, he can continue to make selections."
Looking at the forty-eight people standing neatly in front of her, Ye Xiruo suddenly felt immense pressure. She had to support all of them, and she desperately needed to earn spirit stones.
"Greetings, young master."
The sight of everyone kneeling on the ground almost made Xie Ruopo's union break down.
"Get up!" Ye Xiruo imitated Xiu Qiyu's icy face and aura, and to be honest, she really did look about five parts similar.
"From now on, you are my people, and I need your absolute loyalty. Of course, I don't keep useless people. Later, I'll have you level up in your areas of expertise with Mingxi so that I can make full use of your strengths and not let your talents go to waste."
"Yes, Master." (To be continued.)
