6: Chapter 6 Recruiting Twin Sisters as Maids

"I wouldn't dare accept the title of 'Heavenly'; the Karma is too heavy."

Lu Chen opened his mouth, waiting for the next grape.

"Call me Fellow Daoist Lu, or Emperor Yun is fine. Don't call me Heavenly Emperor. I'm not that arrogant; I'm a very low-key person."

As soon as he said this, Mo Wentian and the Su Family Ancestor bent their waists even lower.

Low-key?

You, old senior, split the Immortal Gate with one sword strike and stared back the Heavenly Tribulation. You call that low-key?

Then what counts as high-profile? Poking a hole in the heavens?

The Su Family Ancestor was drenched in cold sweat, not daring to utter a single word of nonsense.

"Emperor Yun, please forgive us! It was my Su Family's failure in discipline that produced such a blind and rebellious son who offended your Imperial Presence! Today, I have specifically brought him here bound, to be dealt with at Emperor Yun's disposal!"

As he spoke, his hands trembled as he held up a Storage Ring high above his head.

"This is a small token of my Su Family's sincerity. I hope Emperor Yun will appease his anger!"

Lu Chen glanced at Su Chen, who was tied up like a zongzi and already scared out of his mind, then glanced at the ring and curled his lip.

"Fine, just leave the things there."

However, although the Su Family Ancestor was kneeling on the ground in an extremely humble posture, a sliver of hope—or perhaps a desire to test the waters—remained in his heart.

Could it be that this Emperor Yun wasn't staying in the mortal world by force, but was instead severely injured while resisting the Heavenly Dao and is now just putting up a front?

After all, it was truly strange to be able to achieve Ascension but choose not to!

Once this thought arose, he could no longer suppress it.

He quietly released an extremely subtle wisp of Divine Sense, like an invisible tentacle, and cautiously reached out toward Lu Chen.

He only wanted to confirm whether the opponent was a real tiger or a paper tiger.

This wisp of Divine Sense was extremely well-hidden, and combined with his eerie Cultivation Technique, even a Quasi-Emperor of the same rank would find it difficult to detect without a special Physique.

However, just as his Divine Sense was about to touch the corner of Lu Chen's clothes—

"Hmm?"

Lu Chen merely let out an impatient monosyllable from his nose.

There was no earth-shattering pressure.

No collision of Law powers.

Poof!

The Su Family Ancestor's extended Divine Sense was instantly annihilated, failing to stir even a single ripple.

As for the man himself, he felt as if an invisible giant hammer had slammed violently against his Divine Soul, causing his body to jerk violently.

"Wa!"

A mouthful of hot blood sprayed uncontrollably from his mouth, splattering onto the bluestone floor in a shocking display.

His head buzzed, stars danced before his eyes, and the intense pain from his Divine Soul almost made him faint on the spot.

He was wrong!

Utterly wrong!

How was this an injured paper tiger?

This was clearly a slumbering Archaic Vicious Dragon!

Unfathomable! Vast as an abyss!

"Emperor Yun, please appease your anger! This old man deserves ten thousand deaths! This old man deserves ten thousand deaths!"

A strong desire for survival overwhelmed everything. The Su Family Ancestor didn't even bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth as he kowtowed frantically to Lu Chen, his forehead bleeding from the impact.

He grabbed Su Xuner and Su Qiyue, who were already stunned with fear behind him, and pushed them to the front.

"Emperor Yun! A small token of respect! These are the most outstanding Qilin Girls of my Su Family's generation, Su Xuner and Su Qiyue! I am willing to offer them to you, Emperor Yun, to serve tea, pour water, and act as slaves and maids, if only you will forgive my Su Family this once!"

Su Xuner's body was trembling.

Not out of fear, but out of humiliation!

She bit her lip hard, her nails nearly sinking into her flesh, but she didn't dare speak. She could only use her proud eyes to stubbornly glare at the man on the rocking chair who hadn't even looked her in the eye.

She was the favored daughter of the Everlasting Su Family, a future Sword Dao Supreme!

Why should she be given away like goods to be someone's maidservant!

Why should she have to bear the consequences of the mistake her brother made!

This bastard 'Gou' Heavenly Emperor who bullies others with his power!

She swore in her heart that one day, she would personally wash away today's disgrace!

However, her younger sister beside her, Su Qiyue, was in a completely different state.

Su Qiyue's large eyes were filled with curiosity and admiration. She looked at Lu Chen's impossibly handsome face and whispered in amazement.

"Wow! Sister, he's really as handsome as the drawings in the storybooks!"

Far from being unwilling, she broke free from the Old Ancestor's hand and pitter-pattered closer to Lu Chen.

"Are you still taking disciples? I'm very good at eating—no, I mean very good at—no, I'm very talented!"

Lu Chen was stunned by this sudden directness. Looking at the little girl who had approached him, he subconsciously reached out a finger and pressed it against her forehead.

"Go play somewhere else."

Just then, the System's notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Hidden Mission Triggered: Subdue the Sisters!]

[Mission Description: Take the Su Sisters as maidservants, successfully train the tsundere elder sister, and satisfy the foodie younger sister's—stomach.]

[Mission Reward: Depends on completion level.]

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow.

Oh? There's such a good deal?

Only then did he slowly sit up straight, his gaze sweeping over Su Xuner and Su Qiyue.

Being looked at by him, Su Qiyue immediately puffed out her chest, her face full of expectation.

Lu Chen nodded.

"Indeed very talented, comparable to that cheap disciple of mine. Xiaoyao Peak is going to have two more world-class beauties all of a sudden!"

Su Xuner, on the other hand, felt insulted. Her pretty face turned bright red, and she turned her head away with a 'don't look at me' expression.

"Your Aptitude is so-so; you're not qualified to be this Emperor's disciple."

Lu Chen spoke lazily. His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Seeing as your Old Ancestor is so sincere, you can be Registered Maidservants for now."

He paused and added another sentence.

"If you perform well, I might consider making it permanent later."

Hearing this, the Su Family Ancestor felt as if he had been granted a grand amnesty, and he was so moved that old tears streamed down his face.

"Thank you, Emperor Yun! Thank you for your mercy, Emperor Yun!"

He felt as if he had just walked back from the gates of hell and didn't dare stay for another second.

He bowed several more times to Lu Chen, then grabbed the already broken Su Chen from the ground, transformed into a streak of light, and fled from the Yunxiao Holy Land without looking back.

He was terrified that Lu Chen would regret it in the next second and turn him into dust.

Quiet returned once more to the summit of Xiaoyao Peak.

However, the atmosphere had become somewhat strange.

Leng Qingqiu slowly stood up and walked to Lu Chen's other side.

Her cold eyes swept over Su Xuner and Su Qiyue with undisguised scrutiny and hostility.

It wasn't because of their strength.

But rather an instinctive vigilance from having her territory invaded.

Revered Master is mine!

What do these two women who suddenly appeared want to do?

Su Xuner felt that cold gaze and stared back, unwilling to show weakness.

When she saw Leng Qingqiu's unremarkable cultivation, a look of undisguised contempt appeared in her eyes.

'Just a Trash with a shattered Dantian who was only taken as a disciple because of her looks. What right does she have to look at me like that?'

Meanwhile, the airheaded Su Qiyue didn't feel the undercurrents at the scene at all.

She looked at Leng Qingqiu with an adorable expression, thinking this Senior Sister looked very elegant.

"Hello, Senior Sister! I'm Su Qiyue. Please look after me from now on!"

She greeted her warmly.

However, what she was even more interested in was the man who had laid back down in the rocking chair with his eyes closed.

She approached him once more, her large eyes blinking with stars.

"Revered Master, I'm hungry. Are you eating me? Bah, bah! I said it wrong..."
