on the entrance there was written ji village.

' d.a.m.n you call this a village it's seems even bigger than whole city. '

" Its lady Yi she is back "

" I thought that b.i.t.c.h died dammit the village is not safe anymore "

" yes that s.l.u.t is here " some pedestrians were talking.

Guards also noticed her " Divine lady is here open the gates "

A large door was opened with a creek sound.

guards bowed down to her

" You flat lady why are following the divine lady" one of the guards said.

bai jie was furious he wanted to say ' of course I am flat you b.a.s.t.a.r.d '

but before he could say anything Yi Ying talked in " she my servant don't bother with her" it was a cold tone the guard felt a s.h.i.+ver down his back.

" Yes divine lady." the guard was scared he knew what others didn't what place this divine lady held in ji household which was lord of this village. he heard rumours that this divine lady was a beast which would eat humans she was also known as executioner of lord.

" forgive me divine lady." he kneeled down on the ground. but something unexpected happened the flat lady which was standing behind Yi Ying moved closer to the guard and sniffed him and went back.

the guard felt terror grip his heart will she eat him alive but he saw she went back.

" did she thought he wasn't tasty enough "

" I think so look how much hair he got on his body I think she also had her taste"

" shut up you old man you want her kill our whole family "said a old man's wife.

" I will grow my beard again " said the old man

Yi Ying who was watching bai jie wanted to shout ' what the h.e.l.l are you doing '

Bai jie lowered his head he realised he had done something wrong.

Yi Ying didn't say anything.

"Follow me servant. " Yi Ying said.

bai jie followed her no one stopped them any futher. Bai jie had never thought that a village could be this big this village at least had more than 50 thousand people living from what bai ji had seen. they crossed many markets shops and there were also variety of people some seemed wealthier and some poor.

it was very lively in the village there were also guards on patrol here and there. bai saw the wonders of civilization their architect was diffrent.

" we are here now don't act like a idiot" said Yi Ying.

Bai jie looked at the place infront of him which looked like a castle.

he followed her in it was a metal gate from looks of it it was black iron.

There bai jie saw a row of maids comming his way terror gripped his heart. Bai jie suddenly realised what he really gotten himself to if it was Yi Ying it was fine but when bai jie saw those maids coming towards him heart started palpitating. Yi Ying didn't knew of his metal issues niether he can't tell her it was too embarra.s.sing.

' it was a mistake biggest mistake ' bai jie was cursing himself. he was looking at them coming towards them he tried to hide himself behind Yi Ying.

Yi Ying was very happy on the other side she felt like bai jie was acting superb even she felt he was just a weak girl.

" ohh so lady yi knows the way back too I thought you had given up on my father " said a young lady she wore luxurious clothes. which clearly showed her status.

" young miss I am repaying the kindness that master ji showed me raising me up " yi Ying said.

" You have done something to father didn't you used tricks to gain the control of ji household" young miss shouted. " it was because of you that mother died early you have made her suicide "

" young miss don't bring things from past I don't know who spread this rumor " said Yi Ying without any emotions.

" Ohhh so where were you these days I checked brothels in the village but didn't find you there"young miss grinned she was taunting yi Ying.

Yi Ying still didn't show any dissatisfaction. she replied normally " young miss must have been a regular there to know such details. "

when bai jie heard it he was laughing ' nice one my wife ' he was also irritated by her ramblings. all he wanted was to run away from these people. there were more than 15 women surrounding them. he wanted dig a hole and crawl through it he was forcing himself to appear calm.

just as yi Ying spoke the whole place fell into suppressed laughter those maids were trying to hold back the laughter.

" You " this was all the young miss spoke could speak she had thought that she could nab yi Ying this time but she was utterly defeated. she ran away and two maid ran behind her yi Ying nodded to them.

Then all remaining maids bowed towards her

" welcome leader " they all had smiles on their faces. they all were living in ji household from young age and their only relative was their leader yi Ying.

yi Ying nodded to them. " meet our new sister minion " bai jie already told her about his fake name. he really like this name it was also for feel appreciation for tool minion has left him.

" ahhhhh such a cute name minion we would be working together from now on " one of the maids asked. she nearly jumped on him.

bai jie felt he was gonna die of heart attack he was shouting in his heart ' stay away from me minion save me '. bai jie looked very scared.

which confused the maid.

but Yi Ying b.u.t.ted in at the right moment " she can't speak and I rescued her from bandits I don't know what they did to her but she is very sensitive to touch. so we should stay away from her she is still in trauma. " Yi Ying almost want to hug bai jie how great his acting was that trembling of body would almost fool anyone but what she didn't know he was really terrified he almost went into escape mode.

but her voice calmed him down. He couldn't understand that he could be fine with yi Ying while everyone other than her terrify him so much. he thought he had gotten over his fears but it still followed him in this life. it was like a

part of his brain was screaming run run away.

Other maids also saw how minion reacted to the approach of their companion. some maids eyes went red they looked at her terrified look.

" little sister you are at home now everyone here is like a sister. we won't make things difficult for you "

" look at her I don't even know what kind of things she had gone through what things had those beasts done to her. "

" look how she is trembling I feel like crying "

some were discussing about had things gone with minion.

bai jie felt like some display item. ' sister think all you want but please leave I can't handle anymore '

Yi Ying felt very happy with how he avoided her sister from hugging him he went as far as with this intense fear. she felt blessed by heavens where could she find such a man.

Most men would have hugged intentionally but not her husband.

"sisters don't scare her she had gone through alot and I have to introduce her to the Lord. " yi Ying said

bai jie also wished to say ' yes leave as soon as possible '

" yes sister master has been feeling very anxious these days when you were gone " said a maid with ponytail.

Yi Ying nodded. bai jie followed her like a chicken.

after a while they arrived in a hall. A middle aged man was sitting on a stone slab.

" Master Yi Ying is here " Yi Ying said.

The middle aged man opened his eyes. it was ji lan.

" what took you so long you said you were going to a tribe to buy herbs you know difficult it is when the other maids didn't have leader "

said ji lan " and who is the girl behind you. "

" Master I have rescued her from bandits she will be serving in ji household and took longer to get rid of those bandits " yi Ying replied.

while they were talking bai jie was calm again.

he activated his eyes of parasite he looked towards ji lan. ji lan had 60 meridians opened and his meridian were of double the size of his. it appeared like boss Zhao.

' could he be a qi gathering expert like him .'

bai jie thought. Bai jie also had a feeling that this man is hiding his true motives or who would grant such influence to a head maid.

' could it also be this world's tradition'

" its good that you think of the household even doing ch.o.r.es outside this woman shall be under your care do as you see fit next time take guards with you it could have been dangerous " said ji lan.

" yes master " yi Ying said then she felt a spirit wave. she knew ji lan had checked on her cultivation.

"Your cultivation what the h.e.l.l happened " ji lan roared.

" master while fighting bandits I have burn my cultivation to escape " said yi Ying hurriedly.

" don't you dare lie to me the cultivation technique I gave you shouldn't allow you to destroy it even if you want to " ji lan roared.

" this " yi Ying didn't understand.

bai jie also felt something wrong the cultivation technique he had invented provided complete control of his cultivation. he can destroy it at moments notice. could it be something was wrong with her cultivation.

Bai jie was right something was wrong with her cultivation technique her spirit energy which was cultivated using the cultivation technique ji lan gave him. spirit energy can be very easily extracted from her body minion also was able to completely remove her cultivation into bai jie.

while yi Ying told the half truth that she was unconscious while something happened to her cultivation. she didn't knew anything about what had actually happened. and minion was also beside her when she woke up.

" you should have told me the truth from begining dammit " ji lan hushed.

bai jie found it quite strange it felt to him like ji lan was talking about his own cultivation.

" you are dismissed go cultivate the cultivation technique again. my head made can't be a too weak it would be a insult to me "

said ji lan.

both bai jie and Yi Ying were ready to leave but ji lan's voice rang out again.

" A dog should know it's place isn't it little yi"

bai jie's heart turned cold he had added ji lan to his A list ( Absorption list - target to be absorbed ).

Yi Ying also felt this sudden drop in temperature she moved one step backward and intentionally stepped on his feet and said

" yes master "
