Paul asked the guards to place the table next to the oak tree since girls liked to sit under it.
Thanks to this bit of work he had done they could sit at the table while still being in their favorite spot.
He wanted to start crafting the other things but just as he was about to start a maid came to inform them that the supper was ready.
During the meal, both girls were talking about what they had read in the books that they bought and they both discovered they liked to read.
This made Paul happy since he also liked to read and knew that aside from the pleasure of reading, the books contained knowledge and knowledge meant power.
What the girls did not know was that their master also liked to play board games and he was getting ready to craft some of them.
After all the learning and cultivation some fun time was definitely in order.
Paul already knew which games he would introduce to them first and it was just a matter of crafting them.
After their meal, all three of them went to cultivate their Qi since it was at a lower level than their mana.
Paul let the girls have the bathroom all to themselves and he used a wooden tub in the backyard since no one would peek because of the wall he had no problem with taking a bath outside after telling the maids not to bother him or go near the place he was cultivating at.
That night the girls matched their Qi and mana cultivations while Paul reached level 36 in Qi cultivation.
The next day girls busied themselves with reading while Paul was busy crafting a few things he wanted to make to let the girls have some fun.
The games he prepared were chess, reversi, and go since crafting them was easy and didn't require too much in the way of materials.
Another thing he made was a swing since he was sure that the girls would love it.
The ladies were a bit shocked when he climbed the oak tree and dropped down some ropes while tying the other end to the branch.
Then he got down and took out a thick plank with four holes drilled into it and put the rope through every one of them while tying a knot to make the plank stay in place once he was finished the swing was ready for use.
When he showed the girls how to use it they were skeptical but once they did use it they fell in love with it.
Paul was happy that he decided to craft it when he saw how much fun the girls were having.
He hid the fact that he also prepared some board games for now since he did not want to spoil the fun they had with a swing.
During all the happiness the girls invited the maids to have a try with Paul's approval and all of them had fun using it.
The sight of everyone having fun was enough to make Paul proud of his work and it also helped with the servant's attitudes towards him.
In the past, some people rented this place and they tried lying their hands on the maids which made them weary of Paul but after these three days that they were here he never so much as looked funny on a maid not to mention touch them and they all knew that the girls were spending their nights in his room which put them at ease.
Additionally he never once treated them as slaves and even let them eat good food and use the bathhouse which never happened to them before.
All of this made them jealous of Maya and Mia for having the good fortune of serving a man like this.
Especially since Paul declared them the ladies of the house which was unheard of as they were both his slaves.
Being named the lady of the house put them in the same position as if they were his wives and not mere servants.
Every one of the maids thought the same thing.
-If slavery for him looks like that then why the hell would they ever want freedom?
It also helped that Paul was Quite handsome and a cultivator to boot which meant that he could achieve great things in the future.
In other words, he was a perfect man in their eyes, too bad that they would only be able to stay with him while he was renting this place and then he would be gone leaving them to their miserable existence.
But for now, they would enjoy the time that they had since an opportunity like that was not coming their way too often.
All the servants in the house were enjoying their time here as their new young master never scolded them for minor mistakes and if they were diligent in their work then they would still have time to have some fun, in case of one of the maids who gathered her courage and asked if she could borrow a book to read it meant that she could read all she wanted once her duties were fulfilled.
Paul never liked slavery but there was no way that he alone could abolish it.
So he decided to make the lives of the slaves easier for them if he could.
As for the girls he kept them as slaves because, in the beginning, he wasn't sure if he could trust them but when he mentioned setting them free the day before, they both were unwilling and worried that he would abandon them once their contract was gone so he kept them as slaves for now.
They all had a lot of fun until a soft voice asked from apparently nowhere.
-Can I play too?
Everyone stopped what they were doing and searched for the source of the voice but they found nothing.
This was a strange thing to happen and Paul even used search magic to find the one who was speaking but it came back empty.
They were all baffled by this phenomenon until a small girl who might be five or six years old came out from behind the tree.
She was small and cute as all kids tend to be but her outfit was a dead giveaway that she belonged to a wealthy family.
Paul was shocked that she could get this close to them without being detected at all and even evaded his search magic, as far as he knew there was only one kind of mage that could accomplish this.
The little girl was blushing a bit when all the people around were looking at her.
Paul clapped his hands twice.
-Ladies, I think you have some unfinished chores to attend to.
He said and all the maids left at once since this was a subtle way of telling them to leave.
Then he focused his attention on the little girl.
-Little lady where did you come from?
Paul asked in a soft and friendly voice, not wanting to scare her.
-I'm not a little lady, my name is Qi Yue.
The little girl protested trying her best to sound mature but the effect was quite comical.,
-Ok Qi Yue then tell me where you live and do your parents know you came here?
Paul did his best to suppress his laughter.
-I live in the big house next to this one but did not tell Mommy I came here.
The little girl said as she was taught to always tell the truth.
In her eyes, they were doing something fun here and she wanted to play to so she wasn't doing anything wrong.
Paul immediately called a maid and instructed her to go to their neighbors and inform them that a little girl called Qi Yue was presently there.
He had a bad feeling about this situation and wanted to avoid any misunderstandings.
