Earlier, after she finished taking a bath, everything in the room had already been clean, even the bed and cover had been replaced.
A smile couldn't help but formed on her beautiful angelic face as she kept thinking of Mo Xie.
She then sat on the table and placed the copper mirror on top of it, as soon as she saw the reflection, Shang Ting stopped.
"Who are you?" Shang Ting was shocked, her expression, a poker-face.
She tried tilting her head, opening and closing her mouth, even waving at herself.
"That is... that is me!?"
Shang Ting couldn't believe it, her facial features had completely changed! she couldn't even recognize herself!
Mo Xie came at the exact same time and spoke: "That is one of the benefits."
"Husband." Shang Ting looked at Mo Xie, she couldn't help but felt gratified.
Which woman would not yearn for beauty? seeing her transform from an average lady into a beautiful celestial like being, she couldn't help but be happy.
Mo Xie then withdrew something out of his storage ring, a necklace that has a beautiful green gem embedded on it, with an engraved word, 'Mo', clearly, stating that the one who will wear this is Mo Family's, Mo Xie's woman.
Mo Xie went behind Shang Ting as he placed it around her neck.
"Beautiful."
Shang Ting blushes as she looked at the ground, feeling extremely delighted inside.
Mo Xie smiled at her as he spoke: "Now, you should pick the servants and maids that will work under us."
Shang Ting nodded as she replied: "I will."
"Oh, once you selected them, please make them wear this and make them swear an oath as they hold it on top of their chest."
Mo Xie handed a bracelet with a black gem: "If the black gem turned white, you can accept them, but if nothing changes, reject them bluntly."
"I will."
After replying, she immediately headed outside and went straight to the gates.
As soon as Shang Ting opened the gates, around a hundred or more people are waiting outside.
Shang Ting was shocked, so are the mortals that want to be employed.
"A G.o.ddess..." One of them couldn't help but murmur.
Everyone immediately agreed.
Shang Ting then spoke: "Ah, please form a line, women, and men, we will only pick 35 female maids and 25 male servants."
Hearing her words, all of them started to form a line.
"Even her voice is beautiful..."
Everyone immediately agreed.
One after another, they started to go to Shang Ting, out of ten people, only two or three made the gem in the bracelet light in white.
Everyone started to have a theory amongst themselves, only those people that can make the black gem turn to white were picked?
Actually, the gem is an ordinary obsidian gem, it was then inscripted by Mo Xie, branding people with the mark of the Mo Clan, it will only light at the people who had truly made an oath to be a servant and loyal to the Mo Clan only.
It will also alert Mo Xie of a person that wants to betray his power, a powerful seal will open as it will make that person stunned until Mo Xie unseals it.
He had personally made this brand when he was a heavenly celestial, he called it 'The Nine Heavens Sealing Formation'.
It only took an hour for Shang Ting's quota to be finished, there are still around twenty people lining up.
Seeing the saddened face of everyone, Shang Ting felt guilty.
'Husband wouldn't mind if I added a few more right?'
"Let us continue." Shang Ting's words echoed to the remaining people lining up.
A smile crept in their faces as they spoke: "Thanks to Madame for the grace."
Everyone bowed with tears, if they can get the job here, they will be earning a humongous profit.
After Shang Ting finished, there was an addition of 3 male and 9 females.
"Haa, I hope my husband wouldn't get angry."
Shang Ting murmured, the ones that pa.s.sed due to her grace felt guilty, if their new mistress will be punished because of them, what will they even do?
"Everyone, follow me." Shang Ting spoke as she led the group in front of the mansion.
Mo Xie is already waiting for them there. he immediately saw that there are more people in this group, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Husband, sorry, I've added a few more." Shang Ting spoke as a slightly sad expression can be seen.
"No worries, as long as you want it, it will definitely not be a problem."
Mo Xie's words made the last people that were accepted sigh a breath of relief.
Although they are thinking of something too, how come a G.o.ddess was married to someone that looks extremely ordinary? but all thoughts stopped as Mo Xie's eyes descended from them.
Mo Xie scanned everyone, he then pointed at three people and spoke: "You three, come forward."
All of the ones that were called immediately felt afraid, the three of them are at the age between 20 to 24, two women and one man, they walk to the front and spoke.
"Master." All three of them bowed.
"The three of you, you three will have the highest positions within the servants, you three will manage everything, and plan for everything, cleaning, meals, and bedtime, you can ask my wife then in what you three will be doing after everything is done, also, your salary will increase by ten silver coins."
Hearing Mo Xie's words, all three of them were extremely excited, they already had a huge salary, but it even increased further.
"Yes, Master!"
Mo Xie then continued: "In a month's time, every one of you will have three days off to spend with your families or loved ones, but, don't simultaneously use it or we will have no one left to manage the manor."
"Yes, Master!" Everyone bowed, extreme grat.i.tude can be seen on their eyes.
As servants and maids, they might only receive a single day's off for a year, but now, they were employed by a new clan but immediately felt extremely blessed.
"Three heads, you can now delegate your jobs, but first, follow my wife to guide you on the whole of the manor to familiarize yourselves."
"Yes, Master."
"Follow me." Shang Ting smiled as she led the way for them.
"Yes, Madame!" All of them started to follow Shang Ting.
Mo Xie smiled as he started to walk at the gates too, he can already feel a lot of people gathering at the gates, he especially notified for people to come two hours after the servant's and maid's selection.
Arriving, Mo Xie opened the gates, and as soon as he did, there are about two hundred or more people outside.
There are also people at the 10-star gold ranked pract.i.tioners, Mo Xie smiled at the outcome.
These people are either lone cultivators or people that had run out of luck outside the wilds, clearly, they wanted to settle in, having a peaceful life is great too.
"First, I will start with the Elders recruiting, but before we start, I have to announce something."
Mo Xie paused as he looked at everyone before continuing: "All of those that will be accepted as Elders and Inner court Disciples shall have their surnames changed to 'Mo', if anyone has qualms with that, you are free to leave immediately."
Hearing this, about a quarter of the numbers immediately left, one is also a 10-star gold ranked cultivator.
"I also have a set of rules, it will be discussed later, but to those that only wish to use the Mo Family to your own advantage, I advise those with the mindset to leave."
A few others left, only half of the original numbers were left.
"Oh, that is great, lesser to picked to, I also forgot, You can still use your previous surnames if you want to, but if you are in a place within the territory of the Mo Family, you will have to use the surname, the only exception is when you are together with your families."
Hearing this, the ones left felt gratified, at least, some, 80% of the ones that were left behind were people that had no backgrounds or families left, hence, they could only travel or be a solo cultivator.
"And lastly, if there is punishment, there will also be rewards; after two months, everyone can start accepting a mission, but that will depend on an Elder if you are qualified, we will discuss this further once we finished."
Mo Xie looked at them as a smile formed on his lips and spoke: "And I bet, that as soon as you see the rewards, even the great clans will become envious."
After Mo Xie spoke, curiosity struck everyone.
"Now, we will start with forming an oath! let me warn you though, if you think that you can pa.s.s this half-heartedly, you have thought wrong."
Mo Xie's last words made a lot of them s.h.i.+vered, yes, there are a few of them that only wants to join to see the benefits and such, but still, what kind of thing can actually exploit their oath?
