As the day getting darker, the guests are slowly leaving one by one. To show her appreciation to the guests, Young Mistress An Guang is standing near the portal to personally bid goodbye to each of the guests. The 4 Maidens including her pet tiger are not far from her as well.
When the last guest left, Young Mistress An Guang yawns and stretches her arms.
As she stands from the podium, Light Mistress Guang Liang sees this, reappear next to her daughter before she softly says, "An An, it must be tiring for you. You can go back to your place now. The four of you should accompany her as well. Hu Hu, stop trying to sneak around... One of the servants will send your dinner soon. Be good and follows An An and the others."
The large white tiger whimpers and slowly follows the 5 young females. Dark Lord An Shenyuan sees this and says, "Bai Laohu is being so docile whenever he heard about food. Beloved wife, he has clearly broken the final stage of cultivation for almost a year now. He should be able to transform into his human form by now..."
Herbal Mistress Xuan chuckles and says, "Junior brother, your daughter favours his animal form more. That is why that glutton of a tiger continues to use his animal form to gain favours from her."
Left Chancellor Qing Yige who is standing next to the rather annoyed looking Herbal Mistress Xuan just smiles without saying a single word.
The other Elders are all looking at their oldest senior sister before they turn their attention at Dark Lord An Shenyuan who then says in his usual unsmiling expression, "Senior sister, I think that in regards to the Left Chancellor's temporary abode, it will be better if he stays at your place."
"An Shenyuan!!! Why should he stay at my place and not the others?"
Snow Lord Xue Yongheng smiles and says, "Senior sister, Qing'er and I share the same place so our place is quite 'pack'."
"Quite pack? What a load of bullshit!"
Fire Mistress Huo Qing then says, "Senior sister, your place is quite large with only you staying there. It is time for you to have your own companion."
The other Elders have already left earlier in order to prevent themselves from being forced by Herbal Mistress Xuan to accept Left Chancellor Qing Yige as their guest. After all, they too are still without any partner by their respective sides except for that Earth Mistress Tu Qianqian who, in fact, has 2 men staying with her. Both are equally her husbands, one is a renowned general while the other is a well-known merchant.
Light Mistress Guang Liang smiles before she softly says, "Senior sister, calm yourself down. You are going to get a wrinkle sooner or later. Be rest assured that I will prepare a place for him to live as he might be staying here for quite some time. Isn't that right Left Chancellor?"
"Light Mistress Guang is right. I will be Young Mistress An's teacher and guardian until further notice."
Dark Lord An Shenyuan frowns he heard what the Left Chancellor has just said but did not says anything other than holding onto his wife's hand before both of them vanished into thin air.
"That annoying loving pair... Fine. You will be staying with me temporarily."
Left Chancellor Qing Yige chuckles and says, "Thank you for your kindness, Xuan'er. No worries... I will do the house chores to show my gratitude."
"I do not need..."
Herbal Mistress Xuan then remembers that her place is a huge mess that looks like a dump. If he wanted to do the house chores, so be it.
"Then... I am looking forward to your service."
Back in her pristine white yet shimmering sleeping chamber, Young Mistress An Guang smiles and says, "Girls, An An seems to be cosying up with Grandmother Yin'an. I know that the old ones still have it in them. For aunt Xuan, she seems to be quite happy for having a free housekeeper. She will be shocked once that Left Chancellor bares his fangs..."
Her four companions laugh as they prepare her bath water which is a natural spring by the way. Various fragrant flowers are sprinkled as Young Mistress An Guang do not prefer any kind of fragrant oil other than the natural type of fragrance. Hence, a huge garden with all kinds of fragrance flowers is planted in it.
Once a week, they will prepare her bath water is a huge tub made from a humongous amethyst crystal which requires the 4 of them to use their inner energies whenever they wanted to empty the huge tub. The bath water is mainly warm goat milk mixed with warm cow milk and, not to forget, the various type of fragrant flowers.
Hence, Young Mistress An Guang's skin is not only fair but smooth with a natural scent of flowers emitting from her well-maintained skin. Even her long black hair is soft, smooth and shiny.
Young Mistress An Guang may not be as good looking as her parents, the Dark Lord and the Light Mistress but no one can say that she is not charming and somewhat pleasing to the eyes the more you look.
"An An... Your bath water is ready."
"En. All of you can leave now. I will call for you once I am done."
Bai Laohu who is done with his dinner intends to follow Young Mistress An Guang but someone pulls him by the tail. Bai Laohu turns his head and starts to growl but stops once he sees the one who pulls his tail, Air Maiden Yangzi.
"Bai Laohu... You are no longer just a white tiger. What makes you think that you are allowed to follow our An An when it is her bath time? Do you want to be castrated by the Dark Lord and Ancestor Zu? Follow me."
Bai Laohu, the white tiger, suddenly transforms himself to his mortal form, a handsome young man who stares at Air Maiden Yangzi as he smiles.
"Yangzi, it is a habit of mine. Sorry. Where are the other 3 Maidens?"
"They are preparing An An's sleeping attire. I will stay here for the lookout. Stay with me."
Bai Laohu smiles and says, "En... I will stay with you, always."
"Horny tiger."
"Yes. Yes. But you are the first one to see me in my mortal form."
Air Maiden Yangzi grimaces and says, "Do not remind me of that event! I was giving you your weekly shower then. Little did I know that you suddenly transformed while I was lathering and rubbing your fur with soap. Being naked as a newborn baby!!! I am still a pure and unmarried maiden!"
Bai Laohu gently takes hold of her hands and says, "I will take responsibility, Yangzi. After all, you have been taking good care of me since I was a tiger cub. In my eyes, you are someone that I must protect at all times. Second only to Young Mistress An."
Air Maiden Yangzi laughs as she gently rubs on his head, "Such a good tiger. Please take care of me then."
