Luli's face was full of disbelief; he had prepared so much, yet he couldn't max out Chen Axiu's loyalty. A casual action on his part unexpectedly achieved that.
Initially, Luli hadn't anticipated that as the loyalty of a servant approached its zenith, it became increasingly challenging to enhance. Luli's preparations were comprehensive — the white deer could accelerate cultivation, generous provisions of elixirs for Axiu and her father, a top-tier spiritual bow for Axiu, and even a storage ring.
In the past, such preparations could elevate loyalty by at least ten points, but now, it only increased by a few. The closer it got to the maximum, the more difficult it became to augment loyalty.
Had it not been for Luli unintentionally pulling Axiu, it might still be stuck at a pitiful ninety-nine. Fortunately, it reached completion.
When Axiu was pulled into Luli's embrace, she twisted her body slightly. Luli, now recovering from his astonishment, realized her loyalty was maxed out. It was truly hard to believe.
Luli couldn't help but look at Chen Axiu. There, Axiu, unable to resist, also glanced at Luli. The expression in her eyes resembled the one Xiaozhao used to look at him.
Could it be that this girl liked him? Luli shook his head; it should be an issue with loyalty. Did reaching full loyalty mean the servant would develop feelings for him? If that were the case, he decided not to recruit male servants in the future! His preferences were entirely normal.
Luli contemplated.
As Chen Axiu looked at Luli, for some unknown reason, her heart pounded like a startled deer. Now that Luli was holding her hand and pulling her into his embrace, Chen Axiu boldly used her remaining hand to hug Luli, pressing her face against his chest.
This was an instinctive reaction for Axiu. Luli, now fully awake, quickly released Axiu's hand, grabbed her shoulders, and gently pushed her out of his embrace.
Although Axiu, in terms of appearance and figure, was excellent, not quite a stunning beauty, she was undoubtedly a top beauty in Donglin City.
However, Luli's thoughts were not on her; they were focused on Luo Xiaozhao.
Guilty, guilty, Luli truly didn't mean it. However, this unintentional act had indeed filled Axiu's loyalty. Now, Axiu looked at Luli with a shy expression.
"Axiu, I forgot a few things. Take these too!"
Luli quickly took out a few bottles of elixirs to diffuse the momentary awkwardness.
Four bottles in total, each containing ten elixirs. They were Tiger Bone Elixirs, Leopard Tendon Elixirs, Rhinoceros Shell Elixirs, and Dragon Blood Elixirs, enhancing the servant's bones, tendons, skin, and blood vessels.
Each elixir required twenty Fierce Points for exchange, totaling eight hundred Fierce Points for these four bottles. Luli currently had over seventy thousand Fierce Points, so spending these was no concern.
The cultivation of a servant could provide Fierce Points to the master. Thus, Axiu's condition was of great concern to Luli.
Luli had already prepared the elixirs and handed them to Axiu, who accepted them.
"Remember, you can only take one elixir of each type daily!"
"Master, what kind of elixirs are these?"
"You'll know once you try them!"
Luli was unsure of the effects of these elixirs. The white deer had consumed elixirs to enhance its bones, tendons, and blood vessels before, but those were for demonic pets, different from what servants required.
"All right, go cultivate!"
Watching Axiu leave, Luli patted his chest, realizing that loyalty was finally maxed out. Now, he anticipated seeing the effects of the elixirs on the cultivation of his servant.
As Axiu took the elixirs, the effects would naturally manifest, and Luli wasn't in a rush.
Seeing Axiu leave the courtyard, Luli turned his gaze toward Xiaozhao's room. Unable to contain his excitement, he slipped into her room. Laughter soon echoed from inside, and when Luli emerged, he wore a satisfied smile.
"This girl, how perfect would it be if her body fully recovered?"
Luli thought, examining his hand.
"Right, I need to improve Xiaozhao's diet. Xiaoxing also mentioned she never had deer meat. I do have a few deer corpses in the system space."
Luli checked the system space and found several bodies of high-level deer demons, all at the Spiritual Attainment Realm.
Choosing a Five-Color Deer Demon corpse, Luli skillfully chopped off a thigh with the Crimson Sleeve Blade. After skinning and cleaning it, he marinated the meat with available spices.
Luli ignited a fire in the courtyard and began roasting the meat.
The thigh was substantial, sizzling in the fire. In no time, the aroma of the roasted meat filled the entire courtyard.
With Xiaoxing's lower cultivation, she needed rest after a night of cultivation. However, her nose twitched, and upon smelling the delightful aroma, she opened her eyes.
"What's that smell? So fragrant!"
Following the scent, Xiaoxing pushed the door open and saw Luli with the deer leg. She couldn't help but run over.
"Young Master, is this deer leg?"
"Yes, come and roast it!"
Luli immediately entrusted the task of grilling the deer leg to Xiaoxing.
The aroma intensified in the courtyard, attracting the attention of Luo Xiaozhao, who couldn't resist checking. When she saw Luli and Xiaoxing roasting meat in the courtyard, drawn by the enticing smell, she approached.
Sitting beside Luli, she naturally extended her hand to him, and Luli held it, pulling Luo Xiaozhao into his embrace.
Watching this scene, Xiaoxing puckered her lips in dissatisfaction. Although she was displeased, the aroma of the roasted deer leg drew her attention back, making her the typical foodie.
Gradually, Bier and Axiu also came out of their rooms. Axiu, after her appearance, had undergone noticeable changes. Her skin was fairer, and her complexion had improved.
Sitting beside Luli, Axiu allowed him to take a closer look.
After a thorough examination, it was evident that Axiu had indeed changed quite a bit.
"Did you take the elixirs?"
"Yes, Master. I followed your instructions and took one of each type!"
"How do you feel?"
"Master, see for yourself!"
Axiu handed her hand to Luli. As he held it, Axiu's body trembled slightly.
Luli was somewhat surprised; Axiu's calluses had actually fallen off. Now, her hand lacked the characteristics of a martial artist, appearing fair, slender, and flawless.
Luli couldn't help but examine it repeatedly; it had truly changed!
"Remember, one pill of each type every day!"
Axiu nodded gently, and Luli continued to hold her hand, somewhat amazed that the effects of the elixirs
were so remarkable, and this was just the beginning.
The removal of calluses was likely the effect of the Rhinoceros Shell Elixir, which specifically improved the skin and was most prominent.
As for the Tiger Bone Elixir and Leopard Tendon Elixir, which improved bones and tendons, the changes might not be as apparent. Regarding the Dragon Blood Elixir, enhancing blood vessels, its effects would take longer to manifest.
"Master, what elixirs did you give Sister Axiu? She looks so much prettier. Master, you're biased!"
"You talk too much! Eat your deer meat!"
Now that the deer leg was ready, Luli passed the task of grilling it to Xiaoxing.
The aroma continued to permeate the courtyard. Luo Xiaozhao, attracted by the fragrance, also walked over. Seeing Luli and Xiaoxing grilling meat, she joined them.
Sitting next to Luli, she naturally extended her hand, which Luli held, pulling her into his embrace.
Observing this, Xiaoxing pursed her lips in an unhappy manner. Although she was dissatisfied, the aroma of the roasted deer leg redirected her focus—she was a typical food lover.
Gradually, Bier and Axiu also emerged from their rooms. Axiu, after her transformation, showed visible changes. Her skin was fairer, and her complexion had improved.
Seated next to Luli, Axiu allowed him to examine her closely.
After a thorough inspection, it was clear that Axiu had indeed undergone significant changes.
"Did you take the elixirs?"
"Yes, Master. I followed your instructions and took one of each type!"
"How do you feel?"
"Master, see for yourself!"
Axiu extended her hand to Luli. As he held it, Axiu's body trembled slightly.
Luli was somewhat surprised; Axiu's calluses had actually fallen off. Now, her hand lacked the characteristics of a martial artist, appearing fair, slender, and flawless.
Luli couldn't help but examine it repeatedly; it had truly changed!
"Remember, one pill of each type every day!"
Axiu nodded gently, and Luli continued to hold her hand, somewhat amazed that the effects of the elixirs were so remarkable, and this was just the beginning.
The removal of calluses was likely the effect of the Rhinoceros Shell Elixir, which specifically improved the skin and was most prominent.

"Master, what elixirs did you give Sister Axiu? She looks so much prettier. Master, you're biased!"
"You talk too much! Eat your deer meat!"
Now that the deer leg was ready, Luli passed the task of grilling it to Xiaoxing. The courtyard was filled with a delightful aroma. As Luo Xiaozhao and Xiaoxing grilled meat, Bier and Axiu approached to join the feast.
