A group of dandy young masters were laughing and praising, yet Ji Lingtianâs face looked extremely unpleasant, a gloomy cold gleam flickering between his brows as he drained the goblet of red wine, his expression somewhat dark.
In the Situ Familyâs residence in Capital City, Situ Luoyun stood in the room, staring out of the window at the moonlight, appearing somewhat distracted.
Just then, the door to the room suddenly opened, and Situ Luoyun sharply turned around, only to see Yang Jian walk in, her expression changing slightly.
"Young Master Yang, itâs so late, and youâre not sleeping. Is there something you need from Luoyunâs room?" Situ Luoyun said indifferently.
"I thought the moon was very round tonight, the moonlight exceptional, and I wanted to invite Miss Situ to join me in moon gazing," replied Yang Jian with a brilliant and wicked smile at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Situ Luoyun.
"Iâm sorry, Young Master Yang, Iâm a bit tired and not interested in admiring the moon. Please, Young Master Ji, head back," Situ Luoyun flatly refused.
Yang Jianâs expression turned slightly unpleasant as he retorted, "Is Miss Situ really going to refuse my kind intentions?"
"Young Master Yang, Iâve already made myself quite clear. Please stop pestering me," Situ Luoyun said, furrowing her brows as she looked at Yang Jian.
Ever since returning to Capital City, she had been constantly harassed by this Yang Jian. If it werenât for some matters, she would have gone back to Zhonghai long ago.
"Situ Luoyun, ever since I was young, Iâve never failed to get what I want. You will definitely be my woman," Yang Jian revealed a cold smile at his lips, a confident gleam flashing through his eyes as he walked out of the room.
Situ Luoyun frowned and let out a soft sigh, a figure emerging in her mind, bringing a subtle smile to her lips.
No sooner had he left the room than a man approached him.
"Young Master, we have found a clue about that item; it is indeed in this auction," the man said in a low voice.
"Do you know who the mastermind behind this auction is?" asked Yang Jian, his eyes squinting, flashing with sharpness.
"We havenât found that out yet, but the forces behind this auction are certainly not simple and very mysterious. Most importantly, many people from the Hidden Sects have already come to the secular world, as if they have all set their sights on this auction."
"Hmph, if itâs truly at this auction, then I must obtain it at any cost this time. To ensure that, I will contact my grandfather to send a few more experts over," Yang Jian declared with narrowed eyes and a cold tone.
A new day arrived quickly, sunlight streaming into the room where Ye Luo and Ling Qingya lay in each otherâs arms asleep.
Before long, Ling Qingyaâs eyelashes fluttered open, and seeing Ye Luo in front of her, a sweet smile graced her lips; suddenly she remembered something and abruptly sat up.
"Oh no, Iâm going to be late," she exclaimed.
"Youâre the boss of the company, what are you afraid of being late for? Come on, wife, letâs sleep a bit longer," Ye Luo said, pulling Ling Qingya, trying to lie down again.
"Enough, get up now. Donât you want to see how those three are doing?" Ling Qingya spoke gently.
Upon hearing Ling Qingyaâs words, Ye Luo remembered Sakura Miko and her companions; with a scan of his Clairvoyant Eye, he saw that all three had woken up and were sitting in the living room.
Ye Luo got dressed and walked out, with Sakura Miko and her group casting their gaze upon him, their eyes flickering.
"You three seem to have recovered quite well," Ye Luo said blandly, looking at the three women.
"Thank you!"
Sakura Miko looked at Ye Luo with an indifferent expression and spoke with a somewhat cold tone.
However, Ye Luo was somewhat surprised; he hadnât expected that this girl would actually thank him. Perhaps it was because he had saved their lives, and she was moved.
"Who were the people that tried to kill us last night?" Ye Luo sat to one side, his face carrying a trace of puzzled expression.
"They are from the Ninja Association of the Island Country, and the one you killed last night was a son of one of the eight Elders of the Ninja Association," Mei Lun spoke up.
"Ninja Association? What kind of organization is this, and arenât you all from the Island Country? Why would they want to kill you?"
Mei Ya continued, "The Ninja Association is an organization that has risen abruptly over the last few decades. As soon as it appeared, it took over a large number of ninja schools in the Island Country and formed the Ninja Association."
"Now, all the ninjas in the Island Country have joined the Ninja Association except for those affiliated with the government and the Imperial Family. All the major schools have been acquired, and theyâve set their sights on our Sakura Ryuu."
"As a result, our master disagreed with joining the Ninja Association. They used despicable means to kill our master and took control of Sakura Ryuu, launching a pursuit against us. We brought our young miss and fled all the way here."
Sakura Miko, with a look of sorrow and pain, spoke with indignation, "I will definitely kill them, avenge my mother, and take back Sakura Ryuu!"
"With your current strength, you better wash up and go to sleep, stop daydreaming," Ye Luo retorted.
Sakura Miko looked into Ye Luoâs eyes and suddenly said, "I hope you can take us in."
"Why should I?" Ye Luo was taken aback.
"Because youâve slept with us!"
Sakura Miko said coldly.
Snort! Ye Luo had just taken a sip of water, which he now spit out, "Nima, thatâs some strong reasoning," he thought, leaving him at a loss for words. Even Ling Qingya, who had just walked out, was stunned.
"This... that... Arenât we supposed to be enemies?" Ye Luo thought for a moment and finally managed to say something.
"That was before. Now that Sakura Ryuu is gone, youâre no longer our enemy, and we are now your women, which makes you our master. Itâs only right for you to take us in," Sakura Miko stated coldly.
"So what you mean is, I am your master, right?" Ye Luoâs eyes twinkled for a moment as he looked at the three women.
"Exactly." All three women nodded.
Ye Luo thought for a moment and then said, "Alright then, from now on, you three are my female slaves, tasked with serving this handsome guy. Whether itâs kisses or something more, you canât refuse."
"Yes, Master!"
The three women adapted quickly, respectfully responding, it seems that no matter how strong these Island Country women were, they all had a side meant for servitude.
Just then, Ling Qingya came over, her eyes glaring at Ye Luo, "You really know how to take advantage of people in their time of need, making them your female slaves."
"It was their own choice, not something I forced them into," Ye Luo quickly replied.
"Alright, how do you plan to arrange for them?" Ling Qingya couldnât help but ask.
"Let them all move to that new villa. Today all of you are moving over," he decided.
Afterward, Ye Luo took Sakura Miko and the other two women to the new villa, settled them in, and then went to Luo Jingxuanâs villa to start instructing all the women to pack up and move in today.
