Chiba Sakurako paused, blushing slightly, and then felt dejected, "But whether it’s an assistant or a maid, there are plenty in the world; they can be replaced by someone else."

"You’re wrong again." Ye Xuan waved his hand repeatedly, "There are indeed many assistants and maids in this world, but someone as beautiful, well-shaped, virtuous, and talented as you is a rarity. Where else could I find such an outstanding follower besides you?"

After saying this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but take several bold glances at Chiba Sakurako.

A real enchantress!

This girl is usually tempting enough as it is, and now she’s soaked through, looking so pitiful that it’s hard not to gush with emotion!

Just one glance, and Ye Xuan felt his wound was about to tear open.

The blood really was boiling!

But after hearing these words, a glimmer of hope ignited in Chiba Sakurako’s somber heart, though she still felt a bit skeptical, "Am I... am I really that special?"

"You’re as special as special can be."

Ye Xuan affirmed, "Not only are you special, but you’re also better than everyone else, which is why I especially need you. Otherwise, why would I save you and help you time and again? There’s no such thing as a truly selfless, overly kind person in this world."

Chiba Sakurako believed Ye Xuan’s nonsense.

Suddenly, she felt that her future seemed clearer, and hope reignited in her eyes. She pursed her lips and said, "So what do I need to do for you?"

"Didn’t I just say? Just serve me." Ye Xuan said, "As for how to serve, that’s up to me. Essentially, whatever I tell you to do, you do it. If I tell you to die, then you must immediately die. If I don’t say you should die, then you absolutely shouldn’t die no matter what."

Chiba Sakurako was overjoyed.

Ye Xuan’s words truly spoke to her heart.

She wasn’t born to have a strong will; execution is what she enjoys and does best.

Finding her own direction in life was nearly an impossible task, and the search only led to more despair. Her natural inclination dictated that she always needed someone to give her orders.

However, the person who orders her must be someone she trusts and admires.

Evidently, both Ye Xuan and the Sword God were people she trusted and admired.

"Okay!"

Chiba Sakurako showed a happy smile, "For the rest of my life, I will serve you!"

At that moment, Chiba Sakurako seemed like an innocent girl who had regained direction and a sense of home, her joy and simplicity making it almost easy to forget that she was once hailed as the goddess of the Northern Federation.

And indeed, there are quite a few women like Chiba Sakurako in this world.

No matter how high their achievements, how strong their abilities, or how clever their minds, their indecisive nature never changes.

Asking them what to eat for dinner would be torture for them.

However, if you tell them to cook a specific meal for you, they’ll be very glad, because they love to execute and loathe to choose.

A great psychologist defined this type of person as... the Loyal Dog personality!

This isn’t an insult; it’s a compliment.

Being with someone like Chiba Sakurako, how comfortable is that? Especially after gaining her trust, it’s almost boundless happiness.

Ye Xuan could almost imagine how easy and comfortable his future life would be.

At the same time, Ye Xuan felt a bit helpless.

To be honest, he didn’t want to take advantage of Chiba Sakurako because he respected her, and he respected the Chiba Family.

But there was no way around it; Ye Xuan could only do this. Otherwise, Chiba Sakurako might never find a new direction in life, spending the rest of her days in endless torment...

"Phew—"

Secretly exhaling, Ye Xuan grinned with satisfaction, "At least you have some conscience, knowing to be grateful, so it’s settled. From now on, you, Chiba Sakurako, are my maid, Ye Xuan!"

"Yes!" Chiba Sakurako bowed her head to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan suddenly felt a bit uneasy.

Not long ago, they were good friends, and now, in an instant, they had become a master-servant relationship with clear distinctions... Oh, Sword God, please don’t scold me from above, I had no choice!

Ye Xuan weighed the umbrella handle in his hand, raising an eyebrow and saying, "My pretty little maid, your observation skills aren’t great; I’ve been standing here for quite a while, and you’re still crouching?"

"Huh?"

Chiba Sakurako was startled, then suddenly snapped out of it and hurried to stand up and hold the umbrella for Ye Xuan.

But because she had been crouching for too long and had serious wounds on her abdomen, the rush to stand made Chiba Sakurako immediately feel pain and almost faint from dizziness.

Ye Xuan caught her in his embrace, feeling the soft touch. He shook his head with a sigh, "Never mind, never mind, serve slowly next time."

Ye Xuan held Chiba Sakurako as they headed towards the car not far away.

Chiba Sakurako leaned weakly in Ye Xuan’s arms, feeling the warmth emanating from him, suddenly realizing that the chill in her body had dissipated significantly, and her once cold and dark inner world was no longer bleak.

Chiba Sakurako is of the Loyal Dog personality, but she is also an extremely intelligent woman.

How could she not know her own personality defects? How could she not see that Ye Xuan’s so-called repayment was just giving her a direction to live?

To think there were still good people like him in the world...

Chiba Sakurako secretly observed Ye Xuan for a while, gazing at his well-defined side profile, her eyes filled with admiration and infatuation.

"Ye Xuan, thank you."

"I will definitely serve you well, I won’t disappoint you."

Chiba Sakurako secretly murmured to herself.

...

Money can make the devil turn millstones, and naturally, it can buy clothes at the airport too.

After driving to East City Airport, Ye Xuan first bought Chiba Sakurako a set of clothes, considering that in this cold weather, with injuries on Chiba Sakurako, if he didn’t ensure her warmth, it might be Ye Xuan taking care of Chiba Sakurako instead.

Chiba Sakurako went to the airport restroom to change clothes.

Ye Xiaoying, sitting next to Ye Xuan, suddenly sneered when Chiba Sakurako’s figure disappeared, "As expected, no man is a good thing. You’re not even this generous to your own wife, are you?"

"Are you kidding?" Ye Xuan glared and said, "I’m very generous to my wife, okay? If you don’t believe it, ask her; the Fossil Bracelet she’s wearing on her hand right now, I gave it to her. It’s worth a fortune!"

"Tch!" Ye Xiaoying curled her lip, clearly not believing it.

Ye Xuan’s stinginess was well-known!

"Believe it or not." Ye Xuan also didn’t bother to prove it to Ye Xiaoying and said, "Besides, Chiba Sakurako is now my maid! Buying clothes for your servant is just me, as the boss, showing some care, being generous!"

"Maid?"

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoying was shocked, and her gaze towards Ye Xuan changed, "Ye Xuan, are you still human? Killing your own father, beating your own brother for no reason, and now you want someone to be your maid? Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?"
