Chapter 34: Servitude

Chapter 34: Servitude

Upon hearing the soft and charming voice, an image of a delicate and pretty face, both innocent and charming, immediately surfaced in Xiao Cang's mind.

Xiao Mei?

Why is she here?

"Come in."

"Creak——"

The door opened, and a slender figure walked into the room.

Xiao Mei was wearing a tight pink dress, which outlined her impressive figure and eye-catching curves.

After closing the door, she moved lightly, the pink ribbon tied around her waist gently fluttering, just like a young girl's flowing hair.

"Brother Xiao Cang."

Xiao Mei came to Xiao Cang, revealing a charming smile. Her voice was enchanting, making one's heart tingle upon hearing it.

"Cousin Mei'er, why are you here?" Xiao Cang looked at Xiao Mei and smiled warmly.

Seeing Xiao Cang's handsome appearance, Xiao Mei's heart trembled slightly, rippling.

He's so handsome!

She was at the age of a young girl's first love, and she also had a bit of a hero-worship mentality.

In her eyes, Xiao Cang was simply the perfect partner template.

And she also knew that although she and Xiao Cang were of the same generation in the clan, their blood relationship had long been out of the five degrees, strictly speaking, they couldn't even be considered as cousins.

"Brother Xiao Cang, that…"

Xiao Mei bit her thin lip, finding it difficult to express her intentions.

A shy look appeared on her charming little face.

In front of other peers, she was the proud daughter of the Xiao family, second only to Xun'er. But in front of Xiao Cang, she was just an ordinary girl, at most… just a bit pretty.

But for a proud and strong person like Xiao Cang, there would never be a lack of beautiful women around him.

"Cousin Mei'er, if you have something to say, just say it." Xiao Cang said indifferently.

"Brother Xiao Cang…"

"I… I… I miss you."

Xiao Mei, with her fingers curling the ribbon around her waist, stammered, her cheeks blushing.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cang almost laughed out loud.

Miss me?

What a poor excuse.

Xiao Cang knew Xiao Mei too well.

Since childhood, this girl has always been different from others, with a strong utilitarian heart, belonging to the type of person who gets up early without profit.

Don't look at her calling him "Brother Xiao Cang" in front of him, but in her heart, she is always thinking about how to benefit herself.

Xiao Cang still remembers that when Xiao Mei learned that he would sneak into Xun'er's room from time to time at night to nourish her body with Dou Qi, she would open her window every night, hinting at him to nourish her body.

When he had just been promoted to a first-grade alchemist and had made some body-nourishing pills for Xun'er to eat, Xiao Mei was still trying to get some for herself.

It was also because of Xiao Mei's nature that Xiao Cang never liked this girl, even though Xiao Mei always had the charm and impressive figure that her peers didn't have.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Xiao Cang will reject Xiao Mei.

No one would mind having a sister who calls him "brother" sweetly by his side, especially when that sister is a high-quality beauty.

It's just that Xiao Mei shouldn't expect to get any benefits from him easily.

"If you miss me, why didn't you come to find me a few days ago?" Xiao Cang teased with a hook at the corner of his mouth.

"A few days ago, weren't you always with Sister Xun'er? I was afraid I would disturb you two…" Xiao Mei's voice was soft and charming.

Why is she still beating around the bush?

Seeing Xiao Mei like this, Xiao Cang already wanted to award her the title of Tea Art Master.

But to be fair, Xiao Mei knows how to use her advantages.

When she speaks, she is both gentle and charming, and her unique style makes even Xiao Cang, who has been through many battles, feel tingly.

"Cousin Mei'er, what exactly do you want from me? Just say it." Xiao Cang, not wanting to beat around the bush, said directly.

Xiao Mei hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother Xiao Cang, are you going back to Yunlan Sect?"

"Mm, in a few days, once I finish my business in Wutan City, I'll set off."

Xiao Cang nodded, then joked, "Why, want to drive me away?"

"No, Brother Xiao Cang, don't misunderstand. I just…"

"Just what?"

"I want to go to Yunlan Sect with Brother Xiao Cang."

As if she had gathered a great deal of courage, Xiao Mei lowered her head nervously after saying this, not daring to look into Xiao Cang's eyes, fearing that Xiao Cang would refuse.

"Go to Yunlan Sect?"

Xiao Cang was taken aback. He thought Xiao Mei was here to ask him for a Qi Gathering Pill or some other pill.

Who would have thought she wanted to go to Yunlan Sect?

"Yes, Brother Xiao Cang. I want to practice in Yunlan Sect."

Xiao Mei nodded again.

Ever since the first day Xiao Cang came back, she had this idea.

As the second-ranked girl among the younger generation, she not only has a good cultivation talent, but also has a rare vision and ambition among her peers.

She wants to become stronger.

But the resources of the Xiao family are limited and can't give her enough resources to help.

So, she wants to practice in the holy land of cultivation in the Gama Empire, Yunlan Sect.

But with her talent, she can't reach the threshold of Yunlan Sect's discipleship.

She had to bury this idea deep in her heart.

Until Xiao Cang came back, she rekindled hope!

Xiao Cang is the peerless genius of Yunlan Sect, and also the husband of the sect master. To take her to Yunlan Sect for cultivation, isn't it just a matter of a word?

So, she came.

No matter what, she had to fight for this opportunity for herself.

"No."

However, Xiao Cang decisively shook his head: "Although I have a certain status in Yunlan Sect, I can't do things that violate the rules of the sect."

Xiao Mei immediately showed a disappointed look.

She had finally plucked up the courage, but she didn't expect to be rejected directly.

But she didn't give up.

"Can you please take me with you, Brother Xiao Cang? I want to learn cultivation from you." Xiao Mei pleaded.

Xiao Cang looked at Xiao Mei's eager eyes and was surprised.

When did Xiao Mei become so ambitious?

But Xiao Cang reacted immediately.

Xiao Mei seems to have always been this kind of person.

Whether it was trying to get benefits from him when she was a child, or alienating Xiao Yan in the original story because of Xiao Yan's loss of talent, choosing to get close to other family members with higher talent, they were all proof that Xiao Mei wanted to go higher.

It's just that Xiao Mei's way of being ambitious not only won't attract favor, but will also make people dislike her.

Xiao Cang shook his head again: "The rules of Yunlan Sect are strict, even I, apart from wives and maids, can't just bring people up."

"Wives? Maids?"

Xiao Mei was stunned, murmuring these two words, her eyes gradually bursting with different colors, as if she had grasped some hope.

She didn't dare to hope that Xiao Cang would marry her, so she blurted out, "I can be Brother Xiao Cang's maid."

Xiao Cang: " So sudden?"

This time, before he could refuse again, Xiao Mei excitedly recommended herself.

"Brother Xiao Cang, I'm very diligent in doing chores."

"Sweeping the floor, cooking, serving tea, pouring water… I can do all of them."

"By the way, Brother Xiao Cang, I also learned a musical instrument that you particularly like, the flute! I play it really well!"

"As long as you like it, I can play it for you every day."
