Cultivating the "Imperial Five Spirit Formula", starting from the Cave Sky Realm, every time you break through a small realm, a wisp of imperial aura is born, which can be used to temper the flesh, temper weapons, or kill enemies directly.
It is extremely domineering and overbearing. As the "aura" of emperors, just a wisp is more powerful than all the true qi in the body combined.
Unfortunately, it is one-time use. After using it up, it will disappear. It can only be accumulated by constantly breaking through realms and cannot be used recklessly.
Xue Yi succeeded in breaking through the Cave Sky Realm and opened his eyes.
If Xiao Qingruo saw this, there would be a hint of overlooking the world’s dominance flashing in Xue Yi’s eyes at this moment, but it receded and disappeared instantly.
"Succeeded?" she asked.
"Yes." Xue Yi nodded.
"How many minor cave skies?" Xiao Qingruo asked again.
"A few dozen." Xue Yi said casually.
Xiao Qingruo pursed her lips displeasedly: "Are you still hiding things from me? Tell me honestly, otherwise I won't give you the best spiritual medicine next time!"
"Haha, just kidding." Xue Yi said with an embarrassed laugh.
In fact, he was telling the truth. Thirty-six minor cave skies can indeed be considered "dozens".
But she didn't believe it. No normal person would believe it either. There was no way around it.
"Six." He took a big cut from his own foundation and said.
Xiao Qingruo was still very surprised to hear this.
"Six cave skies... Plus the dantian, it’s seven cave skies. Your cultivation method is even more powerful than the Heaven Abyss Attainment Scripture. What grade is it?" she asked.
Xue Yi: "I don't know what grade it is either. Anyway, it's very powerful."
"Humph, even though this thing is so powerful, it will be even harder to kill you in the future."
Xiao Qingruo's tone was helpless, but her expression was joyful.
The stronger Xue Yi becomes, the safer she feels.
Although this villainous servant always tries to take advantage of her, she doesn't really suffer any substantial loss and can even supplement some "energy", so it's not a loss for her.
"Don't keep thinking about killing me. When I become a peerless expert in the future, you can come and be my servant girl. Wash clothes and cook during the day, serve me at night, your master will not mistreat you." Xue Yi joked.
What he got in response was a book thrown straight at his face by Xiao Qingruo.
"Get lost!"
"Sure!"
Xue Yi was already uncomfortably hungry. He hadn't eaten anything since morning until afternoon. Even with robust true qi, it couldn't offset the feeling of an empty stomach churning.
So he opened the door and said to the servant girls: "Who wants to get me something to eat?"
"Me, me!"
"Brother Xue Yi, I'll go!"
Zi Die and Xia Chan were the first to speak up, both wanted to curry favor with him very much.
These two were the most well-behaved, and were also the most attractive among the girls, although not as stunning as Xiao Qingruo, they were still as beautiful as celestial fairies. They were no less charming than young ladies from other prestigious families.
Xue Yi was satisfied and said, "Go on, two more of you come and give me a massage."
Then he walked to the rattan chair under the tree and sat down.
Servant girls Dong Xue and Qiu Tang hurried over and seized the opportunity to ingratiate themselves with him too.
When another servant girl Bi Yun saw that no one was serving Xue Yi’s legs, she came over to massage his legs.
"Tsk tsk, so comfortable~"
Xue Yi enjoyed being served by the servant girls. This life was even more comfortable than being a young master.
"Brother Xue Yi, don't forget about us in the future when you make it big." Qiu Tang said.
"That’s right, that's right. If the young miss loses her temper, please protect us a little, Brother Xue Yi. We are powerless little servant girls. The master could have us beaten to death just by getting angry." Dong Xue also said.
The life of a servant girl was pitiful.
If they were favored by the master, it would be better. As personal attendant, as long as they served the master well, their status was not low. There would be little servant girls serving them, and they might even be allowed to practice martial arts and cultivation.
But they were just ordinary little servant girls. Even serving in Lan Garden didn't make any difference.
For such little servant girls, the Holy Might Residence would bury dozens every month.
Xue Yi was easier to curry favor with than Xiao Qingruo, so they thought about establishing good relations to ensure their own safety.
Xue Yi said, "Don't worry. Although our young miss has an aloof personality, she is actually very kind at heart. She won't punish you lightly, let alone kill people. As long as you don't make mistakes of principle, at most she'll just spank you or slap you. She won't endanger your life."
"Yes, the young miss is really nice."
"If we weren't chosen by the young miss, we might have entered another young master's courtyard and suffered humiliation, or even get killed."
"Just being able enter Lan Garden is a blessing in itself."
The servant girls hurriedly said flattering things about Xiao Qingruo.
Actually, they didn't really think that way in their hearts. They were all scared to death of Xiao Qingruo.
When Xue Yi heard this, he just smiled. "Of course. I am also blessed by the young miss to get where I am today. Ah, Bi Yun's little hands feel really good, go up a bit, up a bit more..."
Bi Yun blushed as she massaged his leg. The shyness on the face of this charming girl was extremely moving.
After a while, the food arrived.
Xue Yi didn't continue teasing them. As usual, he had the servant girls deliver Xiao Qingruo's meal box first.
As for himself, he heartily enjoyed the sumptuous dinner outside.
"Any interesting news around the residence today?" he asked while eating.
Zi Die replied: "When I went to get food just now, I heard the cooks say that Eldest Young Master and Young Master Qi and the others left Ling Province heading for the Eastern Wilderness."
"Um, I knew about it. Anything else?"
"Xiao Ye from the Law Enforcement Squad booked a high-class courtesan from Spring Fragrance Building but got arrested because he didn’t have money to pay. It was Steward Shi Long who went to get him out himself."
"Haha, I can't believe that guy is so romantic. He even tried to get a free high-class courtesan."
"We also heard that the Four Elders seemed to have finished their seclusion recently and looked much younger."
"Oh? So the Holy Might Residence is even stronger now, that's good news."
Xue Yi also knew about the Four Elders, whose name was Xu Henxian from the Xu clan, the strongest of the Xu lineage, an over 400 year old granny.
But she didn't look old at all, with longevity realm cultivation, she could steal lifespan from heaven. She's probably nearing the pinnacle realm now, able to live for a thousand years.
Xu Henxian's appearance now probably looked only twenty to thirty years old.
"Any news about the Guards Division?" Xue Yi casually asked.
The servant girls all shook their heads. "It doesn't seem like there's any news from the Guards Division."
"I see..."
He wanted to ask about Zhao Ancheng getting injured, but it seems the guy hid it pretty well, keeping everyone in the dark.
But... the truth will come to light sooner or later!
Tomorrow morning Xue Yi has to go to the Guards Division for an assessment. He'll take that chance to expose Zhao Ancheng!
"Oh, Brother Xue Yi..."
At that moment, Zi Die suddenly had something she wanted to ask.
"What is it?" Xue Yi looked at her.
The little servant girl hesitated for a long time before finally working up the courage to ask: "I heard that personal guards can choose two servant girls to serve them. Do you need any...Brother Xue Yi?"
She's practically soliciting herself here.
Xue Yi smiled and said, "I haven't even passed the assessment yet, my position isn't secure. Also, I'll be busy following the young miss in cultivation in the future, so I don't plan on that for now."
"Oh..."
Zi Die revealed a disappointed expression.
The other servant girls also seemed somewhat let down.
Although being a personal guard's servant girl wasn't much better than being an ordinary servant girl in Lan Garden, there was still one advantage - she would be "exclusively owned" and wouldn't need to be ordered around by others anymore, greatly lowering the risks.
If she could even bear a child for the personal guard, she could obtain official residency status and become a formal member of the Holy Might Residence.
Unfortunately, it seems Xue Yi doesn't look upon them favorably.
