Chapter 15: I’m a Good Lackey
I snapped out of it, explaining nonchalantly: “It’s just a matter of perspective.” This explanation is the most convenient now.
“Tsk, I knew that idiot wouldn’t be able to pursue a woman?” Xuan Yue also laughed, as if she was sometimes at a loss for Mo Ming’s short-circuit.
Wow!! Okay, Mo Ming, you’re indeed recognized as an idiot, this time Xuan Yue didn’t say anything about how I could possibly attract Mo Ming.
Xuan Yue started to haughtily inspect me, with that kind of up-and-down eyelid movement: “You wipe them slowly, Chen treats these glasses like his own children, if you damage any of them, no one can protect you, don’t think you’re a Mary Sue just because you’re here, it’s because you’ve caught Chen’s attention…”
“…” I’ve never been so self-conceited, I’ve always been an honest lackey. I wonder, since my godfather sent me to the Palace, could it be that he has some other purpose, like… monitoring Xuan Yue?
I suddenly realized, Xuanyuan Chen’s personality, it’s definitely possible! Uh-huh! I need to keep an eye on Xuan Yue, so I won’t be clueless when Xuanyuan Chen asks me, he’ll definitely be dissatisfied!
I must be a professional and dedicated lackey!
Xuan Yue continued to haughtily say: “Let me tell you, in his eyes, you’re no different from a glasses-wiping machine in the mortal realm.”
“Yes yes yes.” I “humbly” accepted Senior Xuan Yue’s teachings, then looked at her puzzledly, “Senior Xuan Yue, why are you still in the Palace?”
Xuan Yue frowned, revealing a gloomy expression: “I’m injured, and the Palace can’t be left unattended, someone has to stay and guard it.” She looked at me again, “Don’t come find me for anything, I need to heal, and don’t play square dance music, Xia Xiaolan, even though you’re a mortal, please be a mortal with some taste! This is the Palace, not your mother’s square dance plaza~, you mortals are the most annoying.”
I lowered my eyes and murmured: “My mother… passed away.”
She paused, then said with an apologetic look: “I’m sorry…”
“It’s okay, I understand, I won’t disturb you.”
She nodded and turned to leave, but then looked back: “Xia Xiaolan, how… how did your mother die?”
Indeed, how did my mother die?
If it was the usual, if someone asked me this, I would definitely be very sad, but since learning that my mother is related to the Immortal Realm, what I want to do the most now is to find out the cause of her death, this has become the reason I stubbornly stay here, I want to give myself an explanation, I want to know all the truth!
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you by asking, I just can’t figure out why a mortal would come to the Immortal Realm… ” Her voice became softer, more tentative, her gaze also becoming more focused on me, “Could it be that your mother may have some… connection to this place? Perhaps you are a child of the Immortal Realm, that’s why you were brought back here.”
I lifted my face and looked at her calmly: “I don’t think so, my mother never mentioned anything about the Immortal Realm when she was alive.” Life is just like a play, all depends on the performance. If you think you can get information out of me, even though you are a goddess, you’re still too naive. When you go out, you must remember what father said, don’t reveal the family address, don’t reveal family information, don’t trust anyone. Especially since father specifically reminded me not to talk about my mother with anyone from the Immortal Realm.
She frowned slightly and nodded, apparently believing my words: “It’s possible, a god or goddess who fell in love with a mortal and descended to the mortal realm, if your mother was indeed in that situation, she wouldn’t have mentioned the Immortal Realm…” She thought for a while, then looked at me again, “If you are a child of the Immortal Realm, you will eventually awaken.”
“Awaken?” I looked at her puzzledly, she haughtily pulled at the corner of her mouth: “Regain your divine power, don’t you want that? Don’t you want to be a child of the Immortal Realm? Just like Harry Potter, don’t you hope that your mother might really be some kind of deity? You mortals love imagination the most, right? That’s why web novels are booming, it’s also brought us a lot of entertainment, the Immortal Realm is just too boring with only ancient books…”She shook her head disinterestedly.
I immediately asked: “Then what type does Senior Xuan Yue like?”
“Of course it’s N!” She immediately lowered her voice, and even glared at me angrily, “Why do you keep asking? Just do your job!” She then turned and left.
Haha, N? What N? It can only be NP, right?!
Hmm~~~I didn’t expect it, the elegant and refined Senior Xuan Yue, with an aura like a proud plum blossom in the snow, also likes NP~~~ No wonder she’s targeting both Fu Su and Xuanyuan Chen, this is a rhythm of wanting to embrace both beauties, right?
Eh? The Immortal Realm is different from our mortal realm, is this allowed? If it really is, I look forward to that day, watching Fu Su, Xuanyuan Chen, and Senior Xuan Yue get married, that scene, wow~~~~~~
“Haha haha—haha haha—” I laughed shamelessly, my saliva almost dripped onto Xuanyuan Chen’s glasses.
Then how do they do it at night?
Oh my goodness!
I’m too vulgar, no no, I have to stop, can’t think about it further, but I just can’t control it!!! Ah, once the plot hole is opened, it’s like an untamed wild horse!
Fu Su and Xuanyuan Chen are obviously cold and hot respectively, Senior Xuan Yue really knows how to pick ’em!
Goodness, is it taking turns?
One person per night?
Oh my! Why not just marry seven men, one per day, isn’t that better?
Eh? Then what about the children?
How do you tell whose child is whose?
Ohohoho, too vulgar, too vulgar, no no, Xia Xiaolan, you are an upright and positive girl, how can you think of such promiscuous things?
Can Senior Xuan Yue’s body handle it?
Oh my!
I really want to go shi…
So, while wiping the glasses, I was foolishly fantasizing about Xuan Yue, Fu Su, and Xuanyuan Chen all day long, fortunately the Immortal Realm has special protection for me, or they would have definitely killed me.
But, little Bai has been looking at me blankly all day, that expression is like saying I’m a snake demon, just smiling stupidly non-stop.
Xuanyuan Chen has too many glasses, I didn’t finish until it was dark outside.
I have the task of wiping glasses, but the kids in the Wasteland House don’t seem very optimistic, they try their best to kill the bosses every day, but they just can’t do it.
When I go out in the morning, they’re sleeping dead on the sofa, and when I come back in the dark, they’re still in battle mode, I don’t want to disturb them.
Until, on the fifth night when I came back, the four of them were playing cards in the living room.
Qing Ming’s face was covered in stickers, Mao Mao was sitting across from him, glaring angrily: “Qing Ming! How did you play the cards! How could you give them points!”
Qing Ming looked a bit innocent as he lowered his head.
Although Jiang Xuan senior’s face showed no expression, he obviously had the aura of a gambling master, the azure light in his eyes flashed with sharpness, his gaze sweeping over the cards on the table, clearly calculating the cards. Then, he calmly threw down: “One pair of kings.”
No one dared to follow, he smiled slightly and casually threw out the last card in his hand, the card slowly drifted down to the tea table, it turned out to be the three of hearts.
“Jiang Xuan senior won again!” Mao Mao angrily threw down the cards in his hand, “I’m not playing anymore, Jiang Xuan senior is too wicked.”
Jiang Xuan calmly sucked on the blood bag, smiling “slurp slurp”.
I walked towards them, and Xiao Bai climbed down from my neck, returning to Si yinuo. When Si yinuo saw Xiao Bai, he happily turned around, the silver eyes under his long white bangs looking at me happily: “You’re back…”
Jiang Xuan didn’t look at me, and started to organize the cards himself. After he lent me the bracelet to suppress my blood energy, he hadn’t directly looked at me for a long time, as if he was avoiding me a bit.
Qing Ming was scolded by Mao Mao and lowered his head, looking very regretful.
Mao Mao was sitting on the sofa, irritable and in a very bad mood.
“Didn’t you guys do any missions today?” I sat down next to Mao Mao, with Jiang Xuan senior on my left. He put the cards in order while sucking on the blood bag, saying: “Today is the fifth day, there’s not much point in doing missions.”
“En.” Qing Ming nodded silently.
I smiled: “So you guys are just giving up, not planning to complete the homework?” Typical slackers.
“En…” Everyone responded together.
I immediately looked at Mao Mao: “Since that’s the case, I’ve been holding back a lot of questions. Mao Mao, can the women in the Immortal Realm marry more than two men?”
“Yes, they can.” Mao Mao rested his face on one hand, also glaring at Qing Ming. I got excited: “Really? Really?”
“En. It’s true.” Jiang Xuan senior also nodded, in a scholarly manner like he was reading from a Wikipedia article: “The Immortal Realm has no system of monogamy, marriage is free and autonomous. During the first divine clan cold war, the clans started to intermarry with different clans to prepare for the alliance, which led to the phenomena of one woman with multiple husbands, and one man with multiple wives. Although the cold war period has ended, this marriage pattern has remained.”
“Ohh~~~~” My eyes shone, “Then a woman marrying seven men…”
“Sister Xiaolan, don’t think about it~~~~” Mao Mao was in an especially bad mood today, “This kind of situation is usually during clan alliances, it’s rare to have it voluntarily. We are all immortals and gods, why would one have to marry one woman or one man? There are better options available. And especially you, Sister Xiaolan, you are a mortal, whoever marries you would have to become mortal too. Even my brother, as dumb as he is, has never actually thought of truly being with you…”
I was stunned for a moment, eh? It seems I was misunderstood by everyone, then they all said to me: “Condolences…”
What? I’m not dead, why the condolences.
