Jenna’s expression had frozen.

What did the Master of the house mean?

For a moment, she had forgotten all about her tripping and wondered if he was asking if he had fallen for him. After all, why would the Master of the house ask something so redundant and ridiculous?

But she quickly thought of something else- that strange breeze that wrapped around her leg!

Was this the Master’s doing!?

She barely raised her head up and blushingly glared at him, unable to believe he was still pranking maids like a child.

’Even Young Master Arc is better than this...!’

While complaining inside, she answered obediently, "Yes, a strange breeze made my senses experience a strange sense of weightlessness, and I fell while walking down the stairs."

She then saw his gaze flicker like a happy child who was successful in his prank, making her view of the Divine Emperor of Death flip upside down.

"I see. That’s great- I mean, you shouldn’t be falling down as an Immortal King. Hmm, I’ll have to reconsider hiring you."

The maid was stunned.

Jenna looked as though she was going to cry before she sank to her knees, "Master, I was wrong! If this lowly maid has done something wrong, please allow her to atone for her sins!"

Davis waved his hand casually.

"You have not wronged me. However, it’s not good for you to look down upon your Master. Otherwise, get going and do your work. There won’t be a second time."

"Yes...!"

Jenna trembled. How her Master managed to garner her thoughts was beyond her, but she didn’t dare probe, only able to whimper in front of him.

"Wait."

Just as Jenna barely managed to stand up with her legs that had gone limp and turned around to leave, the Master’s voice echoed, making her freeze on the spot.

"Here is the compensation that you deserve for working hard."

Davis placed a spatial ring on her hand so quickly that the touch of his hands couldn’t even be felt.

Jenna stood there, stunned for what seemed to be a long time in her subconscious. When she came back to it, the Master of the house was no longer in front of her.

But as she checked the spatial ring again, she confirmed that there were as many as a hundred times the salary she was paid, making her unable to believe what she was seeing.

This was as good as being paid for a hundred months!

The Davis Family’s monthly wages for their maids were already the highest paying jobs in the sanctuary, so for her to receive a hundred times the amount at once felt like a dream, but the most confusing thing was why did the Master give her this straightforwardly?

Had he taken a liking to her?

No, she felt that was impossible.

In that case- perhaps this was some kind of fetish the Master had?

"Master, where did you go...? I can take a prank or two..." She uttered hesitantly.

===========

In the air, Davis’s brows twitched as he saw Jenna mutter and look forlorn.

He didn’t hesitate to use Heart Intent against maids, so he was aware of Jenna’s emotions.

Could it be that maids truly like being bullied?

However, he felt he did his part.

The moment he had decided to make his attempt on this poor maid, it was bound to be dangerous. He imagined she could be heavily injured or even drop dead, as he had no way to tell how his experiment was going to go.

Of course, he wouldn’t have let her die, but still, he felt that this compensation was necessary.

Nonetheless, he continued to monitor her and saw if there were any changes. After all, he wasn’t naive enough to believe that one fate has been changed; it might not just end in backlash, but also cascade down in waves, leading to a calamity of any sort.

He was overseeing whether this small leg-pulling incident could extend into something bigger.

But even after an hour, nothing happened, so he relegated this task to his soul body to continue overseeing the maid.

However, a strange rumor had already spread!

"Have you taken a liking to Jenna?" Evelynn asked calmly.

Davis’s expression went amused. He said wryly, "It was an experiment."

"Oh, what kind of experiment?" Zenova asked curiously.

"Top secret."

"So..." Shirley raised her brows, "Do you like Jenna then?"

"..."

Davis didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

His concealment could elude many eyes, but there were still people who were stronger, like Lereza.

He felt someone must have snitched on him.

Nonetheless, his actions seemed to have been misunderstood, but it can’t be helped since his women have some become eager to just hook him up with others as though they were doing something good for him.

He turned to glare at Zenova, thinking it was this woman’s fault.

Back then, there were wives who played matchmaker occasionally. They were low-key and were not so open, but after Zenova came here, it was as though they were afraid that they couldn’t compete with her in who would supply the most happiness to him- since they knew his women were his happiness.

He didn’t know where this confusion came from. How could all women be his happiness?

Hence, Davis felt it was all because Zenova claimed she could get ten thousand concubines for him, and it became somewhat of a famous saying this month. They were also worried he would be charmed and misled by it, so they took it into their initiative.

Once things got to this point, Davis knew he had to explain himself.

"I will absolutely not take ten thousand concubines, thousand concubines, or any concubines for that matter. Just stop it... I have no time for these ridiculous notions, nor do I like entertaining so many women. Other men couldn’t even handle one, and I can’t even handle the thirty-four of you, so are you trying to exhaust me to death?"

Davis scoffed, causing some to be stunned while many others laughed.

Right now, there were only Evelynn, Natalya, Isabella, Shirley, Mingzhi, Niera, Lea, Zestria, Yotan, Tia, Dalila, and Zenova in the hall.

All had left with Panqa to celebrate her pregnancy as they went to a nearby city for shopping. Hence, those who were staying here were just soul bodies or avatars. Even Zenova appeared to go with them to accompany them.

But those who all stayed here stayed for a reason since they were all heads of their department.

Evelynn, Isabella, and Shirley were the three heads of the Administration Department.

Niera was from the Treasure Department, Mingzhi from Law Enforcement, Zestria from Construction, Dalila from Alchemy, Natalya and Lea from the External Affairs Department, and there was no need to mention Yotan and Tia, who were the Legion Commander of the Reaper Soul Legion and the Karmic Guardian Empress.

They were all here to speak about the empire-building issues as well as the formation of the Shadow Wraith Legion.

Mingzhi pulled out the document Zenova submitted and placed it before Davis.

"Even if you don’t want to see other documents, look through these documents at the very least."

Along with Zenova’s document were the other documents that required immediate attention from him and were placed at top priority, such as the resource distribution to young talents, preparations to establish hidden powers in the Upper Realms to help maintain the intelligence branch of the Law Enforcement branch overseen by Mingzhi, Nightveil, and a few others.

Mingzhi seemed to have already succeeded in establishing an intelligence network in a celestial body near the Forgeheart Peak Upper Realm, and there were plans to extend into the realm for faster communication and quicker learning of news.

There were then pills that Dalila wanted to create, but didn’t have the specific resources to do so, so she put in an application.

After all, she had already made a berserk chaos-destruction pill, so her horizons were greatly broadened, but it was a pity that they couldn’t get any Supreme Law resources from the Elemental Dimension. It was incredibly rare, probably taken away by the powerful spirits, Realm Calamities, and perhaps even the Supremes.

He now wished World Master were here for him to supply resources of those caliber, missing the days when they weren’t that hard to come by.

As for the construction, it was a set of blueprints that contained the new layout, the ins and outs, secret chambers, and secret pathways, as well as hidden formations of the Davis Family Estate and several resorts or hideouts spanning out in the sanctuary and even other celestial bodies, especially the celestial body where they had sealed Zhao Yan.

Davis was quite melancholic.

His women worked so hard while he was enjoying the past four weeks, making him feel somewhat guilty.

He hid it with a firm expression before memorizing and then approving everything before praising them for their tasks individually.

Only then did their expressions become much more relaxed.

All they needed was some praise from him.

When he promised that he would look through all the pending documents, they were all motivated to do more work.

Zenova was in disbelief that these fairies would toil their glorious lives to work so hard, but she also felt a little jealous as she saw their unity. These so-called sisters should be at each other’s throats and trying to relegate all the tasks to the little sisters to work them to death, but they all took it upon themselves to see the work get done foolishly.

They could remain high and refined, free of most of the work like spoiled princesses, but they chose to work hard and remain unified throughout the process.

This was something she would’ve never dreamed of capable of happening in a harem, but now that she saw it was somewhat possible, she wanted to be a part of it and still remain watch over them like a big sister.

"What about the Shadow Wraith Legion?" She asked hesitantly.

Did he not want to approve of it?
