When they returned to the palace, Yun Wuji handed Cang Yue a maid outfit. "Since you want to be a maid, you need to dress like one."
He kept many costumes inside his Sky Poison Pearl. As for the reason, do you really need to ask?
"...yes, Lord Yun Wuji," Cang Yue nervously coughed and said respectfully, clutching the dress tightly.
"Call me Young Master or Young Noble," Yun Wuji corrected her as he walked away. "I'll wait for you in the main hall."
"Yes, Young Master," Cang Yue replied before heading to a nearby room to change her clothes.
Yun Wuji lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. He accepted Cang Yue so easily because she was beautiful, simple as that. He was a man who could be honest with himself; if a beautiful woman offered to become his maid and he was also attracted to her, why should he refuse her?
As for whether she had any ulterior motives? He didn't care. He was strong enough not to worry about such things. In the grand scheme of things, all the little tricks and calculations were insignificant. In the face of absolute strength, schemes and plots meant nothing.
He could just punch through it all, though he wasn't bald like a certain hero.
Yun Wuji sat near the balcony, gazing out at the beautiful garden. His eyes grew distant as memories of his past life surfaced. Back then, he was just slightly better than a corporate slave, never dreaming of owning such a luxurious palace or possessing such immense strength.
When he first arrived in this world, his goals were simple: become strong, create a harem of beauties, and enjoy life. Those goals haven't changed only now, he also needs to save this world to ensure he can keep enjoying it.
Unfortunately, he would never see his master again, which was his biggest regret. The only thing he could do was name his future son after his master when the time came.
"Young master," a soft voice interrupted his not-so-deep thoughts.
Yun Wuji took one last drag from his cigarette, tossed it aside, and turned to face Cang Yue.
She was dressed in a white and black French maid costume. The top part of the outfit revealed a deep neckline, exposing her cleavage. The short skirt barely covered her, showing off her thighs, which were wrapped in black stockings.
He looked at her leisurely, taking in how stunning she looked in the dress. His gaze lingered on her figure for a moment before settling on her thighs, wrapped snugly in black stockings.
Wuji didn't have a leg or tights fetish, but her tights were so sexy and alluring. If it were him in his past life, he wouldn't have minded being choked to death by them.
"Young master?!" Cang Yue felt his intense gaze and called out softly. She shyly tugged at the hem of her skirt, trying to cover herself.
"You look great," Yun Wuji said lightly, pulling his gaze away from her weapons of mass distraction. "Come here and give your young master a shoulder massage."
Cang Yue nodded and walked behind him, her trembling hands gently touching his shoulders.
"Are you afraid of me?" Yun Wuji asked, sensing her nervousness.
"No! It's just that I've never touched a man my age before," Cang Yue shook her head, explaining frantically. It was true she wasn't afraid of him; she was nervous, but not for the reason she stated. She was nervous because she could finally touch him! Her breath grew slightly ragged, and her cheeks flushed a bit.
Cang Yue never believed in love at first sight until some time ago when she met Yun Wuji. The moment her eyes fell on him, she felt her soul being sucked away. She wasn't sure what attracted her to him, was it his extraordinary look? His unique temperament? His domineering aura? Or perhaps his immense strength? She didn't couldn't come up with an answer, she only knew one thing, she was in love with this man!
"..." Yun Wuji silently closed his eyes and enjoyed her service.
Cang Yue used the opportunity to observe him up close.
*I know no one wants a detailed description of his look unless you are gay or didn't read the previous descriptions, so I'll skip it.*
Standing close to him, Cang Yue couldn't tell if it was an illusion or the effect of her feelings, but she sensed a warm and gentle aura from him. It soothed her mind and soul, making all her worries seem distant and fleeting.
"Hey, I know this might be sudden, but do you maybe like me?" Yun Wuji suddenly opened his eyes and asked, noticing her strange behavior. He thought it might be one of life's three major illusions, 'Could it be that she loves me?'. Even though he knew it could just be his imagination, he decided to ask anyway.
*The three illusions in life are a popular Chinese meme: 1- "Could it be that she loves me?" 2- "My phone is vibrating." 3- "I can do it tomorrow."*
Cang Yue's hand stopped moving, and her eyes widened in shock. Yun Wuji's sudden question left her mind completely blank. Her thoughts came to a halt, brain not found 404. No, it was even worse brain down 503!
Yun Wuji slowly turned his head and looked at her with an incredulous expression. He said, "Well, I'll take that as a yes." As expected of his genius, nothing could hide from him, he thought narcissistically.
"No, no, that's not true!" Cang Yue said, her voice shaking as she quickly stepped back. Her eyes moved around nervously, and her face turned bright red. She wrung her hands, trying to explain quickly and clumsily.
"So you don't like me?" Yun Wuji stood up and took a step closer, leaning in. "Here I thought you really loved me. It seems it's just me being sentimental." His face showed a sad expression as he turned around and returned to his seat.
"No! I didn't mean that I don't like you!" Cang Yue cried, grabbing his hand tightly. Her voice shook with panic when she saw how sad he looked. Tears started forming in her eyes, almost ready to fall as she tried hard to fix the misunderstanding.
"Hey, I was just messing with you, why are you crying?" Yun Wuji was surprised and quickly pulled her into a hug. He gently patted her back, trying to comfort her and calm her down."
"..." Cang Yue stopped crying, her arms instinctively wrapping around his back as she buried her head in his chest, feeling his warm and gentle aura.
After a while, Yun Wuji let go of her and looked at the girl clinging to him. With a teasing tone, he said, "Shouldn't maids serve their masters? Why do I feel like I'm the one serving you?"
"Ah! I'm sorry, young master," Cang Yue said, startled and pulling away from his embrace. She couldn't help but let out a quiet sigh of disappointment.
"I have an important question to ask you," Yun Wuji said, his expression turning serious as he looked at her.
"Yes! Feel free to ask me anything, young master!" Cang Yue straightened up and her expression became serious as well.
"Can I touch your tights?"
"..." Cang Yue was speechless.

Meanwhile, a team of five men crossed into the Blue Wind Empire's border, an elderly man accompanied by four middle-aged men.
"I didn't expect the young master's killer to be hiding in this tiny empire!" one of the men said disdainfully, looking down at the ground. To those from the sacred grounds, the profound aura here was thin and murky, making them feel utterly disgusted.
"If you think about it, it's actually a smart move," another man said. "That man must know he's angered our great Sun Moon Divine Hall, so he chose to hide in this tiny, remote place."
The third man said coldly, "All his efforts are meaningless. Anyone who offends us will die, no matter where they hide, even if it's at the edge of the world!"
"Shut up!" the old man commanded. Immediately, the other men fell silent and bowed their heads. With his hands clasped behind his back, he said slowly, "Stop wasting time and start searching for him!"
