Huh?
Someone's here?
Luo Ruying warmed Ning Yechen's hands and, holding Luo Hongye, got up and opened the door.
Outside the door, two men and a woman stood.
One of the men had a broad build, a resolute and handsome face, and a guileless smile.
The other man had long, pale hair and a very refined and elegant appearance.
And the woman had a waist like a water snake, a slender and graceful figure, and a beautiful and delicate face.
The three of them, dressed in simple clothes, stood at the door, smiling and bowing respectfully to Luo Ruying, calling out:
"Greetings, Madam."
These three were none other than the Chaos Demon Ox, the Titan Great Ape, and the Devourer of Heavens Divine Serpent from the Yao Domain Forest.
Previously, they hadn't fully transformed, always maintaining a half-demon form.
This was the first time they had completely transformed into human appearances and appeared here.
"Ma, Madam...?"
Luo Ruying looked at the three of them, somewhat bewildered.
She had no impression of ever having met these three, so why were they suddenly addressing her as Madam...?
Just as Luo Ruying was about to ask if they had mistaken her for someone else, Ning Yechen had already walked over from behind, smiling as he said,
"You're here."
The Chaos Demon Ox and the other two immediately bowed and greeted Ning Yechen, saying,
"Greetings, Young Master."
"Young Master...?"
"Do you know them?"
Luo Ruying turned her head and asked in confusion.
Ning Yechen nodded and began to explain:
"My wife, these three were once servants in my home."
"Since we plan to stay here for a while, I've called them over to help my wife with the housework."
"In the future, my wife can freely instruct these three with any household matters."
Ning Yechen had arranged for the Chaos Demon Ox and the other two to come today.
Coincidentally, he had fabricated a background story for Luo Ruying some time ago. Using this fabricated story, he could reasonably arrange for the Chaos Demon Ox and the other two to be in the house, allowing them to act as guards and also take care of the housework…
That way, his wife would have more free time…
Luo Ruying didn't feel the need to have extra servants in the house; she could handle everything herself.
But upon hearing that the three of them were once his servants, she thought for a moment and decided not to refuse, allowing them to stay.
There are plenty of empty rooms in the house anyway; it would be a waste not to use them.
"Come on in, all of you."
Luo Ruying chuckled, stepping aside to let the Chaos Demon Ox and his companions enter the courtyard.
Luo Hongye, nestled in her arms, was as shy as ever, timidly sizing them up.
"Hello, Miss~"
The Devourer of Heavens Divine Serpent raised a hand and greeted Luo Hongye warmly.
This was the little princess they would be serving in the future!
They couldn't afford to make any mistakes!
Must curry favor!
"Big brother, sister…"
Luo Hongye, though afraid of strangers, was always very polite to those who were warm and friendly to her, and she responded with a soft, timid greeting.
This voice struck the hearts of the Devourer of Heavens Divine Serpent and the other two…
What, what's going on with this child…
This was the first time they had seen Ning Yechen's daughter; they hadn't even dared to glance at her before.
She was also so sensible and polite!
Is she really that person's daughter…
Whenever they thought of Ning Yechen's figure, the Devourer of Heavens Divine Serpent and the others couldn't help but tremble with fear.
Yet, Luo Hongye before them was so petite and adorable, her timid appearance stirring a desire to embrace and protect her!
It was simply worlds apart from that person!
Of course, they only dared to think this in their hearts. If that person found out, they would be finished…
After entering the courtyard, Luo Ruying led the Devourer of Heavens Divine Serpent and the others to three adjacent rooms.
"These will be your rooms from now on."
"Yes, Madam," the Devourer of Heavens Divine Serpent and the others respectfully bowed in response.
Although they had never been servants before, upon hearing that Ning Yechen wanted them to disguise themselves as servants to follow him, they had stayed up all night reading books on the self-cultivation of servants!
For this, she had secretly observed how the servants and attendants in many wealthy families behaved.
She only wanted to be absolutely foolproof, without leaving any loopholes.
"By the way, I still don't know your names?"
After arranging the room, Luo Ruying chuckled and casually asked.
Even when she was the Empress, residing in the Immortal Palace, she would ask the maidservants beside her for their names.
She was never harsh towards attendants; even if they made mistakes, she generally would overlook them, never making things difficult.
She treated every attendant with respect.
The Devourer of Heavens Divine Serpent trio were stunned when asked for their names, immediately frozen in place.
Uh oh!
They hadn't thought about their names!
They had been hiding in the Yao Domain Forest for hundreds of years, focusing solely on cultivation, and hadn't even considered such a thing as a name!
Seeing the Devourer of Heavens Divine Serpent and the other two suddenly in a daze, unable to state their names for a long time, Luo Ruying's expression showed a hint of doubt.
It was just a name, wasn't it?
Why did it take so long to think about it?
The Devourer of Heavens Divine Serpent and the others saw that Luo Ruying seemed to have become suspicious, and hurriedly and anxiously fabricated names on the spot:
"I, I'm called Meng Niu…!"
"I am Bai Yuan…"
"This servant is Cai Se…"
"Hmm? Meng Niu… Bai Yuan… Cai Se…?"
Luo Ruying slightly furrowed her delicate brows. Why did these names sound so strange…
The Devourer of Heavens Divine Serpent secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, its heart pounding in its throat.
If they messed this up, that lord would skin them alive…
Fortunately, Ning Yechen stepped forward in time to explain:
"My lady, they are actually Meng Niu, Bai Yuan, and Cai Se."
"Oh…"
Luo Ruying smiled and nodded, no longer suspicious.
So it was their accents that were off, causing her to mishear…
She was just thinking, why were the names so strange...
Cai Se and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
These would be their new names from now on.
They were also names personally bestowed by the Young Master.
Ning Yechen glanced at Cai Se and the other two, immediately scaring them so that they were drenched in sweat and trembling…
"It's over, will the Master be angry…!"
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Luo Ruying saw the three of them trembling slightly and couldn't help but ask with concern.
"It's nothing, Madam."
"We just… it's getting cold, a little chilly…"
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I'll get you some clothes."
Luo Ruying smiled gently, placed Luo Hongye in Ning Yechen's arms, and turned to leave to get clothes.
Cai Se and the others were deeply moved.
Madam is so gentle…
Only Master is so scary…
"Daddy, will these older brothers and sisters also live here from now on?"
Luo Hongye lay in Ning Yechen's arms and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, they are here to play with Yeye, as Daddy asked them to."
"Yeye doesn't need to be afraid. If they dare to bully you, just tell Daddy~"
Ning Yechen spoke softly to Luo Hongye in his arms.
As he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and gave Cai Se and the other two a cold glance.
The meaning was self-evident…
If any of the three dared to make his daughter unhappy, they could disappear from here…
Cai Se and the other two were so terrified that their legs went weak, and they collapsed to the ground, trembling.
When Luo Ruying returned with the clothes, she saw the three of them shivering on the ground, and she was even more puzzled.
The weather had turned cold with the snow, but was it really this cold…?
