72: Chapter 72 The Arrogant Purple Moon as a Maid! The Gradually Disappearing Morals!

"I don't know if your grandfather is powerful or not."

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, his tone as relaxed as if he were discussing today's weather.

"But I do know that you've fallen into my hands now."

He sized Ji Ziyue up and down, stroking his chin.

"It just so happens that I'm lacking a maid to serve tea and water here."

"What?!"

Ji Ziyue's eyes widened, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

"A... a maid?! This Young Miss is the pearl of the Ji Family! A Yuan Spirit Body! You actually want me to be your maid?!"

She was so angry that her cheeks puffed out like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

Ye Xuan ignored her protest and simply flicked his finger.

A golden stream of light instantly sank into Ji Ziyue's forehead, turning into a Restriction that sealed her cultivation, leaving only enough power to maintain her daily activities.

"If you don't want to be a maid, that's fine."

Ye Xuan pointed to the little squirrel nearby that was drooling over him.

"Then you can be its pet."

Ji Ziyue glanced at the squirrel gnawing on a nut, then looked at Ye Xuan's half-smiling expression, and immediately lost her nerve.

"I... I'll be a maid, alright..."

She lowered her head aggrievedly, having already cursed Ye Xuan ten thousand times in her heart.

To the side.

Yan Ruyu put away the chaos azure lotus and watched this scene silently.

Her gaze fell upon Ye Xuan, the admiration in her eyes becoming increasingly intense.

This was the man she followed.

Not only was his strength peerless, but even his style of conduct was so overbearing.

To dare to directly seize the little princess of an Ancient Families to be a maid—in the entire Eastern Wasteland, only this Young Master would likely do such a thing.

"Young Master."

Yan Ruyu stepped forward and asked softly.

"The Ji Family suffered a great loss this time; they certainly won't let it go. Should we change locations?"

Ye Xuan waved his hand and turned to walk toward the attic.

"No matter."

"Soldiers will be blocked by generals, and water will be covered by earth."

"If they still dare to come, it won't be as simple as seizing a maid."

His voice drifted from afar, carrying a sense of absolute confidence.

...

Early morning, Xuanyuan Sect.

The first rays of sunlight passed through the exquisite carved window lattices, spilling onto the red sandalwood floor.

The air was filled with a faint scent of ambergris, mixed with the bitter fragrance of the bamboo forest outside the window, making one feel refreshed.

However, for Ji Ziyue, this morning was simply the beginning of a nightmare.

"Splash—"

The sound of water broke the silence of the room.

Ji Ziyue was wearing a maid's uniform that was clearly ill-fitting. On her petite frame, the sleeves and hem were a bit too long, making her look somewhat comical.

She held a heavy copper basin filled with warm washing water, wobbling as she walked toward the bed.

"Pervert! Big villain!"

Ji Ziyue lowered her head, looking at the aggrieved little face reflected in the water, muttering frantically in her heart.

"This Young Miss is the pearl of the Ancient Ji Family! A Yuan Spirit Body! A future female Immortal! To actually make me do such menial work? To make me serve you while you wash your face? When my brother comes to save me, I'll definitely have him suppress you, this great Devil Head, for ten thousand years!"

The more she thought, the angrier she got. Her foot tripped on her long skirt, and her body suddenly tilted.

The water in the copper basin was about to splash out, heading straight for the figure still sleeping soundly on the soft couch.

Just then.

The person on the couch didn't open his eyes but simply extended a finger and tapped lightly in the void.

Buzz.

The basin that was about to flip and the splashing water droplets were instantly fixed in mid-air by a gentle yet irresistible force, then landed steadily on the nearby stand.

Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, sat up from the couch, and looked at the bristling little maid with a half-smile.

"It seems the little princess of the Ji Family is very dissatisfied with me."

Ye Xuan stretched, his tone lazy.

"What are you calling me in your heart? Big Devil Head? Pervert?"

Ji Ziyue was so startled that she shuddered, her large eyes widening into perfect circles.

Does this guy have mind-reading powers?

"No... I didn't!"

Ji Ziyue shook her head like a rattle, squeezing out a smile that looked worse than crying, her voice trembling.

"Young Master, you are wise and martial, as elegant as jade. Ziyue was praising you! How could I dare curse you?"

"Is that so?"

Ye Xuan pulled back the brocade quilt and got out of bed, walking up to her and looking down at her.

"In that case, work hard. If I hear you grumbling in your heart again, I'll completely cripple your cultivation and throw you into the Yao Beast piles on the back mountain to feed the tigers."

Hearing the words 'feed the tigers,' Ji Ziyue's little face instantly turned pale. She quickly lowered her head and obediently picked up a towel to hand over.

"Young Master, please wash your face..."

When one is under another's roof, one has to bow one's head.

This Young Miss will endure!

After finishing his washing, Ye Xuan walked to the tea table in the outer room and sat down.

"Brew tea."

Ye Xuan tapped the tabletop.

Ji Ziyue suppressed her anger and picked up the teapot.

She looked at the back of Ye Xuan's head, and the bold thought of 'should I spit in it' even popped into her mind, but thinking of this guy's unfathomable methods, she immediately chickened out.

She honestly picked up the tea canister nearby, grabbed a small handful of tea leaves to put into the pot, then lifted the boiling water from the stove and poured it in.

However.

The moment the boiling water was poured into the teapot.

Whish—

An indescribable exotic fragrance instantly exploded within the room.

That fragrance contained rich fragments of Dao Laws. Just a single sniff made one feel their mind clear and every pore in their body expand.

"What... what is this smell?"

Ji Ziyue was stunned, the kettle in her hand nearly falling to the floor.

She was born into an Ancient Families; what good things had she not seen? But tea fragrance of this level was something she had only seen in the records of her Family's oldest ancient texts.

"Enlightenment Tea?!"

Ji Ziyue cried out in shock, staring fixedly at the teapot.

Moreover, the water used to brew the tea was no ordinary item either; it was brimming with Spiritual Qi—it was actually some kind of extremely rare divine spring water!

Using divine spring water to brew Enlightenment Tea?

This was too extravagant! Even a Great Emperor wouldn't dare drink like this!

Ye Xuan ignored her shock, picked up the teacup, took a light sip, and then casually placed the remaining half-cup on the table.

"The rest is a reward for you."

After speaking, Ye Xuan closed his eyes to rest his mind.

Ji Ziyue looked at the leftover tea. If it were before, with her pickiness and pride, she would have definitely smashed the cup in his face.

But now...

That alluring fragrance was like a hook, pulling at her very soul.

"I'll just have one taste... just one sip..."

Ji Ziyue swallowed her saliva, looked left and right, and seeing that Ye Xuan didn't react, she cautiously picked up the cup and took a tiny sip like a thief.

Boom!

The tea entered her stomach and instantly turned into a heat wave rushing toward her limbs and bones.

The majority of her Divine Power that had been sealed by Ye Xuan actually became active under the impact of this medicinal power.

The Bottleneck that had been stuck at the Other Shore Realm actually showed signs of loosening!

"So... so powerful!"

Ji Ziyue's large eyes instantly turned into stars.

This wasn't drinking tea; it was simply swallowing a supreme precious medicine!

Without another word, she tilted her head back and drained the remaining tea in one gulp, even chewing and swallowing the tea dregs.

After finishing, she licked her lips with lingering desire, and the way she looked at Ye Xuan had completely changed.

Although she was a maid, this treatment... seemed even better than being a Young Miss in the Ji Family?

One had to know that something like Enlightenment Tea was only qualified for the Old Ancestors to enjoy in the Ji Family; she usually couldn't even get a whiff of it!

"This trade... doesn't seem like a loss?"

In Ji Ziyue's little head, the thing called 'integrity' was rapidly collapsing.
