--- Chapter 91 ---

"I am Yunlong's new maid!" Zhu Zhuqing's voice echoed in the area, which made Yunlong smile for some reason.

Hearing the black-haired girl's bold declaration, Yu Ning'er suddenly became quiet, and her entire body instantly stiffened.

'M-Maid...?' Yu Ning'er thought while a few things flashed in her head.

It took her a few seconds to recover, but as soon she snapped out of her daze, Yu Ning'er immediately shifted her gaze to her young master, who only had a smile on his face.

"Y-Young master, is it true?" Yu Ning'er asked with a slightly troubled look, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.

"It is true." Yunlong naturally replied, "Zhu Zhuqing is my new maid."

"So... Young master go this morning only to fetch this random girl?" Yu Ning'er reacted with a frown on her face, which somehow effectively offended Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing had never been called 'a random girl.' in her entire life, so when Yu Ning'er called her that, she really got disturbed for some reason.

"Well... She isn't a random girl." Yunlong stated that Zhu Zhuqing is one of the most vital pieces in his plan.

"Mm, I'm not a random girl..!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded her head in consent when hearing Yunlong's words.

"Yeah, whatever." Yu Ning'er ignored her and calmly gazed at Yunlong with a weird look on her face.

"Then, who is she?" She asked Yunlong, who only calmly shook his head.

"Just remember her family name." Yunlong said, which made Yu Ning'er enter a deep thought and remembered that he called the black-haired girl 'Zhu Zhuqing.' earlier.

Zhu Zhuqing's name rang in her head for a moment, and Yu Ning'er abruptly muttered, "Zhu Clan."

Yunlong's maids knew about his plan to conquer this empire, even though their knowledge about his goal wasn't perfect. They know he still lacked a few essential pieces to fully guarantee his success: the royal clans and families.

Yu Ning'er was really confused this morning because her young master suddenly went away. Still, after seeing the black-haired girl beside him and a few simple explanations, his intention became clear to her.

'Of course, since he already knew about her location, he went away and recruited her, but... Maid?' Yu Ning'er once again frowned and felt slight jealousy in her heart.

'Bai Xue should've told me about this.' She continued with a bitter taste in her mouth because she really didn't expect Yunlong to bring a girl.

Yu Ning'er genuinely felt happy for Yunlong but at the same time felt slightly jealous when looking at Zhu Zhuqing.

'I'm pretty sure that she knew nothing about my young master, except for a few shallow thoughts.' Yu Ning'er guessed ideally what Zhu Zhuqing had been thinking about Yunlong all this time.

"Ning'er, What's going on there?" Bai Xue's confused voice suddenly comes out of the building.

Bai Xue walked out and immediately noticed a heavy atmosphere in the front door, which put a frown on her face.

'Why did she become so quiet all of a sudden?' Bai Xue thought because Yu Ning'er usually never was this quiet when Yunlong was in presence.

She looked around a little and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who already shifted her gaze to her too. 'That girl, huh.' She calmly thought.

'This girl is also strong...' Zhu Zhuqing thought while looking at Bai Xue.

Even though not as strong as Yu Ning'er, Bai Xue's presence is weird enough to make her feel inferior. 'Wait, he already has two maids?' She suddenly realized.

"Why don't we enter first?" Bai Xue suddenly proposed with a gentle smile on her face.

"I also have prepared breakfast for you, young master." She continued while shifting her gaze to Yunlong, who only nodded his head at her suggestion.

"Well, let's go inside first then," Yunlong said while walking toward his residence, quietly followed by Zhu Zhuqing, who has been eyeing him with a confused expression.

They entered the house, and a nice-looking corridor with high-quality brown fur carpet immediately greeted them.

'This carpet was made using spirit beast furs...' Zhu Zhuqing speechlessly looked at the corridor because if someone wants to decorate a room using this kind of carpet, they must spend a considerable amount of gold coins.

'I wonder what Yunlong's background is?' She continued while staring at Yunlong's back with a curious gaze, but Yu Ning'er suddenly arrive beside her,

"Be careful. Curiosity killed the cat." Yu Ning'er indifferently said to warn Zhu Zhuqing, who frowned at her because this girl seemed to despise her.

They entered the dining room and saw Chu Xiaoyu, who calmly sat on a chair while munching a sandwich.

"You're finally back..." Chu Xiaoyu looked at Yunlong and put her sandwich down to a plate on the dining table.

"Another one?" Zhu Zhuqing muttered while looking at Chu Xiaoyu, who had a noble aura around her body, even though she wore a maid outfit.

"I'm back... Xiaoyu." Yunlong walked toward Chu Xiaoyu with a smile on his face.

"Mm, welcome back." Chu Xiaoyu responded with a nod and her usual stoic expression, which made Yunlong chuckle a little.

"Xiaoyu, let me introduce you to someone." Yunlong suddenly stated, which instantly put a frown on Chu Xiaoyu's face.

"She is my-." He introduced Zhu Zhuqing, but Chu Xiaoyu suddenly said, "Your new maid."

"I already guessed it..." Chu Xiaoyu responded while looking at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Well, her name is Zhu Zhuqing," Yunlong added with a weak smile on his face because he can tell his kuudere maid's jealousy right away.

He patted Chu Xiaoyu's head a little and said, "Let's talk while having breakfast."

They took a seat, but weirdly Yu Ning'er and Chu Xiaoyu seemed to surround him on each side and isolated Zhu Zhuqing alone on another side of the table.

'What an awkward breakfast.' Bai Xue thought while looking at this scene.

Zhu Zhuqing doesn't really mind this because the food she tasted was really fantastic. 'I never had these kinds of foods before.' So she thought while looking at a set of food, variated from fluffy white rice, warm soup, and surprisingly unique grilled fish.

"Well, Yu Ning'er, tell me what you think right now." Yunlong suddenly said, which snapped Zhu Zhuqing out of her thoughts.

"Young master. I want to test her?" Yu Ning'er boldly responded while intently staring at Zhu Zhuqing, which made Yunlong ponder a little bit.

"I don't mind... She can fight me." Zhu Zhuqing unexpectedly responded while suddenly placing her dining utensils.

'Hmm?' Yunlong thought while shifting his gaze at Zhu Zhuqing, who quietly stared at Yu Ning'er.

Yunlong could see a flash of invisible lightning flickering between their gaze, which made him shake his head. 'I know this would happen.' He thought.

"Are you sure? Yu Ning'er at level 37 now, you know." Yunlong calmly stated, but Zhu Zhuqing still firmly stared at Yu Ning'er with an undying fighting will.

"Mm, I'm sure." Zhu Zhuqing firmly answered.
