Not as Planned, Fusion with Consequences
It took a few days for Xue Long's small army to return to the Capital of Heavenly Dou Empire. When people saw the Golden Dragon banners travelling through the streets they were elated to see their Crown Prince back!
It was one of those moments that they could breathe a sigh of relief their pillar was back! Not only that but others could see the elegance of hundreds of beautiful girls marching in perfect synchronised fashion.
Seeing elegance mixed with the armour which gives them valour these were the maids which their Prince has been working hard to create!
"So many people are looking at us…" Xiao Wu said with some nervousness that there were so many gazes!
"You are in the Prince's maid army, we are as famous as the Prince himself." Huo Wu said with a barely hidden smug look. The girl has been instructed to be the babysitter of this rabbit girl.
It was all thanks to her losing her cool. So, now she has to do this! Sometimes she hates her pride! This is simply annoying for her!
She would rather be with Prince!
The same could be said with the two cat girls who were quite shocked to see the amount of people who came to see the return of their Prince! People of Heavenly Dou Empire loved their Prince more than the Star Luo Empire does with theirs! Even funnier is many of the citizens don't even know how they even look! even the citizens of Star Luo capital haven't properly seen their Princes! That just shows the difference!
"You look nervous 'sister'." Zhu Zhuqing asked with a little bit of smugness as she saw how Zhu Zhuyun reacted to all of this. Though she is hiding her nervousness with her smug look…
"...Maybe I am… you don't look better either…" The older Zhu said with her smug tone as she saw how her younger sibling frowned.
While they are not allowed to fight each other it doesn't mean they can't verbally 'spar' with each other. This has been going on for several days. They looked like a pair of cats who were constantly hissing at each other. Something Xue Long found amusing about the pair.
"Calm down you two. We are in the middle of the returning parade. You don't want to disappoint the Crown Prince?" Shui Bing'er said with a sharp tone. As a member of the ice duo, she is responsible for freezing the pair when things go out of hand.
This happened a couple of times before with these two so she is now keeping a closer look at this.
Such behaviour is not acceptable within the ranks of Prince's maids. So swift and even brutal response was done by Shui Bing'er who was praised for her actions.
This is why the pair of Zhu sisters quickly stopped their bickering and resumed ignoring each other.
Seeing that it has stopped the Blue haired maid sighed in relief. She dearly hopes that Prince didn't sense this!
~~~~~~Later, Back in the Imperial Academy~~~~~~
The maids have shown where the new arrivals are going to live. They are pleasantly surprised with the living conditions they have!
'This is even better than what we had in the Zhu family estate!' Zhu Zhuqing slightly gulped down when she saw her room. Though she found the amount of items here a little bit unnerving!
They expect her to paint!? She never touched a paintbrush in her life!!!
Now she got a little bit nervous, same was with her older sister who was pale from nervousness. She was wondering what kind of punishment she will have to endure if she fails!
While Xiao Wu… the very first thing she did was end up laying on the bed… not that it lasted long as her whole body experienced goosebumps when she sensed the Spirit Energy in the air!
"T-This! Incredible! If I cultivate here I will reach rank 70 lightning fast!" Her bunny ears twitched from happiness as she swiftly changed from laying to sitting position.
She quickly started to cultivate! There is no time to waste!
While the new maids are starting to get accustomed to the new place they are going to live on the other side of the Imperial Academy a pair of people meet up.
"It has been 5 years. Today we are going to fight, what do you say?" Na'er asked with a no-nonsense tone. In truth, she didn't like this girl much. While originally she was antagonistic towards her for wanting to absorb her prince, that animosity lowered when she became part of the same group.
However, she still doesn't completely like her because Na'er knows the end goal of the girl in front of her. The only reason why she hasn't told the prince yet is that… there is no point.
Gu Yue is never going to be a threat.
And another one… a more selfish one, is that she wants to gain Gu Yuena's body. With such body and talent… the silver head knows she can be his favourite maid!
"...*Sigh* I will fight. Not that I have a chance to win." Gu Yue said with some disappointment. Though internally she was starting to get giddy! Na'er power and achievements! She wants to know what she has achieved!
"Good. Then we shall fight in the evening. Be ready. Come to the farthest arena we have. It should keep unwanted eyes away." After saying that the Silver-haired girl walked away.
Gu Yue looked at the retreating figure with a complicated look like she was having second thoughts about this…
However, this needs to be done. Gu Yuena in their original form. Staying separated for long was never part of her plan.
~~~~~~Later, Same Night~~~~~~
Gu Yue and Na'er were staring at each other for a few moments. The pair were standing on one of the Spirit Arenas
Far away from the Imperial Academy. Though they didn't notice someone was watching them from the roof of the said building. It was Xue Long who wanted to see this with his own two eyes.
His senses are far too sensitive not to know what was happening. The moment he sensed that those two were walking outside and towards the Spirit Arena, he knew it was the time for the rebirth of Gu Yuena. He wants to see this and to see how this is going to work. How are they going to pass the disappearance of Gu Yue and how are they going to deal with that?
He knows Na'er is an extremely responsible girl. So how is she going to solve the fallout? Gu Yue is a well-known maid by this point because of her Silver Dragon King Martial Spirit!
'Well, we will see it after this.'
As he thought about this the fight started.
Na'er was not using her Silver Dragon Spear, instead it was pure martial arts. Silver Dragon style vs Silver Dragon style.
Two Silver Dragon Martial Avatars were fighting one another. This looked like quite a fateful duel to decide one's fate. As Gu Yue and Na'er were giving each other everything. Gu Yue, as Na'er, had the upper hand.
'That girl, she is not using her cultivation base… ' Sure enough, the Prince saw that his first maid was not using her full power. She was making it more equal for the Silver Dragon girl!
Though… before long Na'er delivered a powerful clawed palm strike to the gut of Purple-ish black-haired girl. This made her cough hard before she was smacked away!
By this point, the duel was over as Na'er delivered a few more strikes.
Which ended the match fully…
The Silver-haired maid picked up Gu Yue… then light consumed the pair of them…
'Finally… let's see what you look like!!!'
As Prince thought about it he saw the light settling down… he finally saw her form!
'Not bad… she looks like a more perfect version of Na'er!!!'
~~~~~~Few Moments Ago~~~~~~
"It appears I am the one who won this," Na'er said as she picked up the defeated Gu Yue. The Silver Dragon girl was having slight difficulty breathing but apart from that she was okay.
'Stupid… Xue Long's training…' Internally she was complaining how he made her other half this strong!
"I have… to apologise….I am sorry…" After saying that Gu Yue started to glow… the glow has spread out and consumed Na'er who was baffled to see this. Very last moment she realised that she had no option in this! As the Silver Dragon King will always be on the top!
This… made her angry!
Sure enough, Gu Yue acquired all of the memories of Na'er… all the training, experiences… even the memories which made the girl fanatical towards Xue Long, as she saw everything she has experienced!
Most importantly… she knew stage three and four of Lotus Meditation, stage one to three of Arthan meditation… this was simply incredible! And the power she was feeling was quite intoxicating! She missed being this powerful!
"This is incredible…" Moments later Silver Dragon King manifested behind her. However… There was Silver Dragon Spear next to the dragon!
It was operating as another Martial Spirit!
'This is…how strong is the Spear by this point that it can stand as equal to Silver Dragon King!?'
[Powerful enough, you might have cheated but now you have my powers…AND my responsibilities…] That moment Guy Yuena freaked out as she heard Na'er voice in her head!
That moment she was assaulted with particular memories. In which Na'er was speaking with Qian Renxue…
The theme of conversation made Gu Yuena blush like a tomato…
The conversation was very simple and straight to the point. The Angel Girl is conceding her defeat and allows the maids to serve their Prince in all of their capacity.
And this means that they are allowed to deal with his pent-up frustration.
In other words, Na'er was thinking of serving him first before telling the other maids about this issue. And she wanted to do that as Gu Yuena!
"N-No! I-I won't do that!" The moment Gu Yuena said that she felt like she was going to lose it. Her stable powers started to fluctuate and…
'N-No way!!! You…'
[You will do it or I will do it. Take your pick. For your trickery, I won't forgive and our fusion isn't perfect. This means that I can resist so if you don't comply you will lose this state.] Na'er voice spoke with a chilly undertone.
'Na'er… you crazy woman! The prince already has his future wife!'
[We are his maids. YOU are his maid. You serve him and for your servitude, he makes you powerful. Have you forgotten that?]
This made Gu Yuena bite her lower lip. She can feel that the fusion will be undone any moment now! If that is to happen Na'er will beat her up to the point that she will need to spend days in the hospital wing…
'Fine! I will do it! Just stop this already!'
The moment she said that she would do it, Na'er calmed down and the recently reformed Silver Dragon King sighed in relief. For now, she is in the clear. However, she has her duties to do.
As she is going to pretend that she is Na'er… the Head Maid… According to the memories, the amount of duties she has is quite a bit… but at the same time they are flexible because it all depends on what the Prince wants… If he wants Na'er attention then she will be there, and Hu Liena will be the one who will do Na'er duties as she is serving the Prince.
After thinking about this, Gu Yuena started to walk towards the Imperial Academy building. Her destination is the Imperial Wing where the imperial family members reside when they are at the Academy. At this moment it's full of maids and the Prince who is running the whole thing.
The moment she was in front of the prince's doors she knocked on them elegantly.
"Na'er… come in." Hearing how the Prince is calling her Na'er made Gu Yuena's whole being twitch from unease… what will the Prince think that Na'er and Gu Yue are gone and that Gu Yue is at this moment pretending to be Na'er!?
That was just the worst! At least for Gu Yue as she could feel how Na'er at the back of her mind is judging her every single action!
