Chapter 1009 - 555: The Choice of a Natural Maid_2

Compared to a woman like Miss Lu who knows how to serve others, she doesn’t know how to attentively take care of women, so she has to learn from scratch?

"Oh, of course, I still want to know about your Gui Water days, sister," Huang’Er said, revealing her true intention, unabashedly asking, "Ms. Qing, when’s your Gui Water?"

"..." Ah Qing silently looked at her, feeling a faint pain between her brows.

Gui Water...

It’s about that monthly thing for women, right?

She had never discussed such topics with others before, given her identity...

It’s really strange.

Now she is forced to answer such questions.

Forget it.

Considering the girl’s earnest effort to help her with ideas, Ah Qing thought she could satisfy the girl’s curiosity a little.

"Ms. Qing?" Huang’Er thought Ah Qing was shy and said, "No need to be embarrassed, sister; there’s nothing unspeakable about Gui Water days, as our sisters here know each other’s days roughly."

It’s rather a mark of closeness.

After all, knowing each other’s days means one can care for the other when those days come...especially for those with a cold constitution, who suffer during their days, being cared for during their Gui Water days is unspeakably touching...

Women’s Gui Water days are the best time to emotionally connect.

Therefore, Huang’Er wanted to know Ah Qing’s days.

She blinked and chuckled, "You know my days, Ms. Qing... you’ve cared for me so many times, but I don’t know your days, which seems so unfair to you."

"Instead, it’s me who is at a disadvantage, right?" Ah Qing gave her a glance.

"Mm-hmm." Huang’Er nodded vigorously, "I also want to care for you, sister."

"You..." Ah Qing sighed, then pointed at her own pupils, "Look into my eyes."

"Your eyes, sister?"

Huang’Er looked over and saw pale green eyes. She was about to praise them when she suddenly froze.

She saw a flower seemingly bloom within Ah Qing’s pupils. The originally round pupils changed shape, becoming slender, adorned with faint golden sparkles amidst the crystalline green, adding mystique.

"So beautiful," Huang’Er couldn’t help but say.

"...Aren’t you supposed to be afraid?" Ah Qing was helpless.

"What’s to be afraid of about Ms. Qing?" Huang’Er waved, then tilted her head, "Why show me your eyes, sister."

"I am a Cyan Snake, to be precise, have Green-Scaled Snake lineage." Ah Qing pointed to her cyan-golden eyes, "Have you ever heard that snakes have a menstrual cycle?"

Huang’Er paused, then blinked, "Eh, snakes don’t have menstrual cycles?"

"Who hasn’t read a book," Ah Qing pinched Huang’Er’s face, "Even if one hasn’t seen a snake, have you never eaten an egg?"

Egg-laying creatures, where would they have a menstrual cycle...

"Oh... seems like it, huh?" Huang’Er nodded with half understanding, then said with a regretful face, "So, Ms. Qing, you don’t have Gui Water."

No chance to emotionally connect.

"Mm." Ah Qing nodded, then exhaled.

Actually, she was lying to the little girl.

The term "Half-Demon" was given in the Human Race, but actually, by appearance, they’re more accurately called "Half-Human."

Mostly human bloodlines, with only a few demon traits in them.

So, Ah Qing’s body is essentially no different from ordinary women in the Human Race.

Once, Ah Qing also relied on Gui Water to open Spirit Road for cultivation, as even a small support was precious back then.

But how old is she now?

Would you go ask Shi Qingjun if she still has Gui Water?

Ah Qing has standards; to conjure up Gui Water now, while not impossible... she can’t get past that psychological barrier.

Beyond description as youthful, it’s like regression.

So, she chose to lie.

Luckily her lie was seamless, and Huang’Er, an unsophisticated girl, is quite simple.

"Wait, if you don’t have Gui Water, then... how will you have children in the future?" Huang’Er’s eyes widened, discovering a blind spot, looking at Ah Qing’s flat belly.

"I..." Ah Qing’s fingers trembled slightly.

Pregnant?

Who?

Myself?

The topic shifted too fast, Ah Qing was momentarily dazed.

To give a child to the Demon Sect empress, go ask today’s cultivation realm who dares entertain such thoughts?

Ah Qing’s smile was somewhat stiff, yet she said, "I... I suppose I can’t get pregnant."

Actually, she wasn’t unable to have children.

But at her realm, achieving life continuation is indeed difficult; if the southern Shi Qingjun were stronger than her with propriety, the chance would double.

But Shi Qingjun is a woman, under the Heavenly Dao’s rules, both she and Shi Qingjun probably can’t leave descendants.

"Sister... you... well, that’s true." Huang’Er sighed, "After all, without Gui Water, how would there be children... but it doesn’t matter, take me as your biological daughter... just kidding."

Seeing Ah Qing’s worsening expression, Huang’Er waved with a laugh, "Ms. Qing, not having children doesn’t matter, among our building sisters there are few who even considered having children, so whether we have this ability doesn’t matter."

Just the number of meals together?

Where would the children come from?

Flower Moon Building from Zhu Pingniang onward has a tradition of sheltering homeless girls.

So this step is equivalent to rearing children and there’s no concern about where the maternal love will go.

"Speaking of which, Ms. Qing, you have no Gui Water, can’t have children..." Huang’Er’s expression became strange, "Doesn’t that mean you don’t need musk, don’t eat safflower, don’t take cooling soup?"

"What do you mean?" Ah Qing didn’t quite understand.

"I mean, sister, your constitution is practically born to be a courtesan," Huang’Er’s lashes fluttered, "No matter what, you won’t have children."

Ah Qing: "..."

Clenched.

Fist clenched.

Take a deep breath.

Looking at the worship in the girl’s eyes, she truly wanted to punch that little head into half-month of silence.

Why does everything she says come out so infuriating?

No Gui Water means destined to be a courtesan, talking about no need for musk...

"You think I’m born to be a red courtesan?" Ah Qing smiled softly, but if you look closely, her eyes are twitching.

But unexpectedly, Huang’Er wasn’t frightened by Ah Qing at all, instead said, "No one’s saying you need to be a red courtesan, it’s just... there are sisters who were red courtesans before coming here, their bodies weakened from long-term intake of cooling soup and musk...

Huang’Er said, lightly sighing, "If only the sisters didn’t have Gui Water, they wouldn’t be hurt like this."

Upon hearing this, Ah Qing pondered for a while, and didn’t rage further.

That’s right.

Nothing is strange.

"But Pingniang is caring, so it’s not much trouble," Huang’Er returned serious, reminded Ah Qing, "Ms. Qing, not having Gui Water, don’t tell the building sisters, or... you’ll surely be envied."

Ah Qing’s mouth twitched.

Doesn’t even have Gui Water, would she be envied?

"Sister hasn’t experienced it, doesn’t know how annoying it is, can’t eat cold foods, eat restlessly, sleep restlessly... it’s hated," Huang’Er mused how someone like Ah Qing, unburdened, would surely not understand how envious they are.

Ah Qing stayed silent.

Gui Water isn’t bad?

Once those girls start cultivating, they’ll know how sought-after Gui Water is.

Yet she didn’t explain, not feeling like dragging such a weird topic with the girl, so said:

"Wasn’t it about maidservants?"

As a maidservant, surely she has natural advantages.

She has no Gui Water.

Thus, Miss Yun only needs her, doesn’t need a second maid.

By Huang’Er’s logic, she’s practically born to be a maidservant.
