54: Chapter 54 The Vampire Maid Arrives! Those teeth are perfect for opening bottle caps!
"Ah... that was such a comfortable sleep!"
Zhou Mingyue stretched and walked out of the guest room with a yawn.
After a whole night of nourishment from the Spiritual Qi, she felt light all over.
Her skin was as good as a freshly peeled egg, and she even felt like she had a spring in her step.
"Morning, Boss! Huh? Who is this..."
Just as she walked into the courtyard, Zhou Mingyue froze.
She saw that beside the stone table, in addition to Su Yang, who was leisurely drinking tea, there stood a foreign beauty she had never seen before.
The beauty had rare, long silver hair, and her features were as delicate as a porcelain doll. She was wearing... well, a somewhat tattered black gothic dress, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.
However, the beauty's expression at the moment looked a bit... aggrieved?
She was holding a rag in her hand, clumsily wiping the stone table, and wiping away tears on the sly while she did so.
"Boss, is this... a new cosplay model?"
Zhou Mingyue leaned over to Su Yang and asked in a whisper, "This look is quite unique, is it the 'battle-damaged' style?"
"What model? This is our Agency's newly hired maid."
Su Yang put down his teacup and pointed at Mary.
"Xiao Li, say hello to Sister Mingyue."
"Xi... Xiao Li?"
Hearing this incredibly tacky name, Mary couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
But feeling Su Qingcheng's smirking gaze nearby, she had no choice but to swallow her humiliation, put down the rag, and perform a clumsy curtsy to Zhou Mingyue.
"Hello... Sister Mingyue, I am Xiao Li."
"Wow! And she's a foreigner!"
Zhou Mingyue's eyes lit up, and she excitedly circled around Mary.
"Her skin is so white! Her legs are so long! Boss, where did you dig up such a gem?"
As she spoke, she couldn't resist reaching out to touch Mary's silver hair.
"Don't touch me!"
Mary instinctively bared her teeth, revealing two sharp fangs, her blood-red eyes flashing with a fierce light.
As a noble Vampire Prince, being bullied by Su Yang was one thing.
How dare this ordinary human woman without any cultivation touch her?
"Mommy! Teeth! She has fangs!"
Zhou Mingyue screamed in fright, jumped directly behind Su Yang, and trembled.
"Boss! She's a monster! She's a Vampire!"
Su Yang backhanded a slap onto Mary's butt.
"What are you acting fierce for? Don't you know you scared the guest?"
"Put them away!"
"You..."
Mary was so ashamed and angry she wanted to die; her pale face instantly flushed bright red.
This bastard... actually hit her on that part in front of an outsider?!
But the binding force of the Master-Servant Contract made her unable to resist Su Yang's order.
She could only aggrievedly retract her fangs and stand to the side with her head lowered.
"I'm... I'm sorry, Master, I was wrong."
Watching the Vampire, who had been ferocious just a moment ago, get subdued by Su Yang in the blink of an eye, Zhou Mingyue poked her head out from behind Su Yang, looking at him with admiration.
"Boss, you're too awesome! You can even tame a Vampire?"
"Basic operation."
Su Yang calmly picked up a bottle of soda and handed it to Mary.
"Come on, perform a talent for Sister Mingyue."
"Open this bottle cap."
"Op... open a bottle cap?" Mary was stunned.
"What? You don't want to do it?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow.
"No... I'll do it!"
Mary took the cola with tears in her eyes, and under Zhou Mingyue's shocked gaze, she opened her mouth and gently bit it with her two noble fangs.
"Psst—" The bottle cap popped off right on cue.
"Wow! That's amazing! That trick is unique!"
Zhou Mingyue clapped and cheered, "This is even easier to use than a bottle opener!"
Mary: "..." I want to die.
Really.
As a Vampire Prince, she felt her dignity had shattered all over the floor, impossible to pick up.
"Alright, stop wallowing in self-pity there."
Su Yang took the cola, took a sip, and patted Mary on the shoulder.
"Work hard, as long as you perform well, it's not impossible to reward you with a few sips of blood occasionally."
"Re... really?"
Hearing the word 'blood', Mary's eyes lit up instantly, and her throat moved involuntarily.
Although it was humiliating, but... that was the blood of a powerhouse!
Even just a single drop would have huge benefits for her current recovery!
"Depends on my mood."
Su Yang casually dangled a carrot, then turned to look at Zhou Mingyue.
"Mingyue, I won't be going out today."
"You take Xiao Li and go buy some things for our Agency."
"Mainly to buy her some clothes; this tattered look doesn't look like anything, people who don't know might think I'm abusing my employees."
"Alrighty! Don't worry, Boss, I guarantee I'll dress Xiao Li up beautifully!"
When Zhou Mingyue heard she was going shopping, she immediately perked up.
And she was going shopping with a Vampire! This was just too cool!
"Remember, don't let her run around, and don't let her bite anyone."
Su Yang gave a final instruction, then took out a talisman from his pocket and stuck it on Mary's back.
"This Yin-Locking Talisman can conceal the aura on your body, allowing you to move freely in the sunlight."
"If you dare to run..." Su Yang made a throat-slitting gesture.
"I wouldn't dare! Absolutely not!"
Mary shook her head repeatedly. Just kidding, that purple-eyed Corpse King was still watching from the side; she wouldn't dare run even if she had ten times the courage!
...
Watching Zhou Mingyue happily leave with Mary, Su Yang lay back down on the master chair.
"Finally, some peace and quiet."
He closed his eyes, preparing to enjoy the afternoon sun.
"Ring, ring—" The phone on the table suddenly rang.
Su Yang picked it up and looked; it was an unknown number, and the location showed—Hong Kong Island.
"Heh, they came pretty fast."
A cold sneer curled on the corner of Su Yang's mouth, and he pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds, then a slightly aged but resonant voice came through:
"Is this Su Yang, young friend Su?"
"I am Li Half-City."
Although the voice was calm, it carried a sense of authority from someone who had long held a high position.
"Oh, it's Boss Li."
Su Yang's tone was lazy, completely lacking any nervousness about facing the richest man.
"What? Is the coffin ready? When do you plan to send it over?"
The breathing on the other end of the line was noticeably heavier.
Apparently, this big shot who had dominated the business world for half a century was also choked up by Su Yang's unconventional opening line.
"Young man, don't speak so aggressively."
Li Half-City suppressed his anger and said slowly:
"Great Master Huang and Manager Zhao were ignorant and offended you, young friend; I have already disciplined them."
"I am a businessman, and I value harmony as the source of wealth."
"Regarding that plot of land in Locust Tree Alley, I would like to discuss it with you again, young friend."
"There's nothing to discuss."
Su Yang cut him off directly.
"One hundred million."
Li Half-City stated a number directly.
Su Yang didn't speak, just whistled into the phone.
"Two hundred million."
"US dollars."
Su Yang remained silent, just picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.
"Five hundred million! US dollars!"
Li Half-City's voice was already trembling; this was several billion RMB!
Buying a piece of broken land, it was simply insane!
But for those twenty years of life, he went all out!
"Young friend Su, a person should be content. This money is enough for you to live in luxury for several lifetimes."
"Boss Li, you might have misunderstood."
Su Yang finally spoke, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"I'm not short of money."
"And, your life, in my eyes..."
"Is not even worth a blade of grass in my courtyard."
"Beep—beep—beep—" After finishing, Su Yang directly hung up the phone.
Hong Kong Island, inside a Mid-Levels luxury mansion.
"Clang!" Li Half-City smashed the purple clay teapot in his hand to pieces.
His face, full of age spots, became twisted and ferocious with anger.
"You ungrateful brat!"
"Since you won't eat the soft approach, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
He turned his head and looked at a Black-Robed Person sitting in the shadows.
"Great Master, do it."
"I want to make him... lose his family and everything!"
