Description: "Begone, foul presence!"

Lucien observed the young girl clad in leaf clothing and asked with a kind smile, "What's your name?"

The girl's wide, innocent eyes sparkled as she sweetly replied, "My name is Erzhi, Young Master!"

"Oh? What was your original world like?"

Lucien's gentle demeanor quickly put the nervous girls at ease.

As they relaxed, their cheerful voices filled the air, sharing stories about their origins.

Lucien learned that the Deer Spirit Maidens came from a mythical world inhabited by sacred beasts.

In their world.

The sky was round, and the continents stretched endlessly for billions of miles.

Shooting stars falling to the ground created massive craters.

Ferocious beasts pursued stars, seized moons, and devoured constellations.

Ancient races like the Ba Snake and Heavenly Elephants roamed freely.

Their world exuded an aura of untamed wildness and primal vitality.

The Deer Spirit Maidens hailed from a vast family of spiritual beings.

Like many similar races, their spiritual forms were shaped by the essence of the Lu Tree's bloodline and resided deep within endless primeval forests.

Though initially bewildered and nervous about being summoned to this new world, Lucien's patient conversation and the natural bond between a lord and his summons reassured them.

Lucien noticed their worn, leaf-made attire and paused in thought.

With a wave of his hand, a stream of light shot out from his Small World, landing in front of the group.

As the light dispersed, twenty sets of women's clothing appeared, extracted from the Red Pavillion.

The Deer Spirit Maidens were astonished.

Though their innocent, loli-like faces displayed wonder, their tattered leaf attire lent them a pure yet pitiable look—a blend of angelic and devilish charm.

Lucien, slightly helpless, taught them how to wear their new clothes.

After changing, the Deer Spirit Maidens looked completely transformed.

Their short hair was tied into neat buns with loose strands framing their faces, giving them a playful, youthful appearance.

The clothes varied in style:

Some were simple and understated.

Others were brightly colored, adorned with floral patterns.

Each Maiden exuded a vibrant charm, stunning Lucien with their elegance.

He took a moment to explain basic territory rules and customs to them.

Thanks to the information infused into them during recruitment, the girls quickly adapted to their new lives.

Deployment to the Spirit Fields

Lucien led the Deer Spirit Maidens to the Spirit Fields, assigning each of them a plot of farmland.

The Maidens showed no fear of their plant-based duties. Instead, they happily entered the Spirit Fields, their presence immediately harmonizing with the environment.

As they stepped into the fields, their aura and temperament changed, as though they had become one with the land itself.

At the same time, the Spirit Grain plants glowed faintly, a clear sign of the Maidens' skills at work.

After ensuring the fields were in good hands, Lucien escorted the Maidens to the palace to assign them quarters.

Adjusting to Modern Living

The limited number of rooms required the Maidens to share accommodations.

These ancient beings had lifestyles vastly different from modern humans.

They only consumed fruits and vegetables from nature, avoiding grains entirely.

As innate spiritual beings, their bodies were naturally pure and untainted, negating the need for bathing.

Lucien had to explain many modern concepts to them, from basic furniture use to personal routines.

Once everything was settled, Lucien sighed in relief.

He headed to the Mysterious Restaurant, poured himself a glass of Frostfire Spirit Wine, and leaned back to rest.

As dusk fell, three familiar figures approached. Their delicate faces bore smiles, and their breaths carried a hint of excitement.

Lucien turned and asked, "Have you all completed your transfers?"

"Yes, Young Master!"

"Yes!"

"Yes, we have!"

The three women—Lin Daiyu, Qin Keqing, and Jia Yingchun—responded in turn.

Lin Daiyu walked over, snatched the cup from Lucien's hand, poured herself a glass, and took a sip.

"This wine is sweet and refreshing. It doesn't even make you drunk," she remarked, rolling her eyes playfully as she swirled the glass.

"This is no ordinary wine," Lucien replied with a faint smile.

Lin Daiyu glanced at him and asked, "Are those new recruits only for farming?"

"Support troops," Lucien explained. He then elaborated on the Deer Spirit Maidens' attributes.

"They primarily oversee the Spirit Fields. With their help, you'll certainly see better harvests. Plus, they can enhance your combat performance with buffs when needed."
