Chapter 744: A Night Without Sleep
Although I am not at the sect, with Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan managing things, Qingyang Peak is well-organized, and nothing is missing.
Liu Yu scanned the area with his spiritual consciousness and saw several inner and outer sect disciples working diligently among the intersecting spiritual farmlands.
The small paths in the mountains, pavilions, and towers were all kept impeccably clean by his subordinates.
"Not bad."
Liu Yu smiled, his gaze sweeping over the two women, expressing his approval of their work.
Under the guidance of the two women, he quickly arrived at his cave dwelling, which was fully equipped with everything he needed.
Sitting in the hall of the cave, the three discussed the events of the past years in detail.
After about two hours, the sky gradually darkened, and the two women coincidentally chose to return to their rooms.
Before leaving, their cheeks flushed slightly.
Although they had each cultivated to the golden core realm and owned their own spiritual mountains, they had no intention of returning today.
"Young master, the warm water is ready, and you can bathe at any time."
As Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan's figures disappeared, the head maid Wen Caiyi said softly.
"Let’s bathe and change."
Liu Yu nodded and stood up, heading toward the washroom, with Wen Caiyi following closely behind.
Watching her master's back, a hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes.
Although her talent was decent, due to resource limitations, she had only reached the peak of the mid foundation establishment stage after nearly two hundred years, and her potential had seemingly been exhausted, leaving her unable to advance further.
Furthermore, being a maid meant she had lost the freedom to marry without her master's permission.
In the center of the washroom, a clear water pool was steaming, making the surroundings hazy.
Liu Yu spread his arms, and a pair of soft, delicate hands quickly wrapped around him, the pressure just right.
As he explored her body, clothes fell away piece by piece.
"Hiss~!"
"It's still better with the familiar, who knows my preferences."
He sighed slightly, stepping into the water pool.
Liu Yu could certainly sense Wen Caiyi's loneliness, but he remained indifferent and had no intention of changing things.
Becoming his head maid was something many female cultivators desired; without any risk, she could receive resources far exceeding those of ordinary disciples.
That was precisely why Wen Caiyi was able to succeed in foundation establishment and advance to mid foundation establishment.
But the cost was losing what many cultivators considered precious freedom.
It was a fair trade; Liu Yu did not owe her anything.
There were many disciples with decent qualifications in the sect, but how many could ultimately succeed in foundation establishment?
If she hadn't become his maid, with her talent but limited resources, she would likely have turned into a pile of dry bones by now.
Moreover, Liu Yu had no habit of giving away women!
For those maids he hadn’t touched, as they aged and lost their beauty, perhaps one day when he was in a good mood, he might let them have their freedom back.
But for those he had been intimate with, receiving more resources than ordinary maids, he was not so generous.
What he did not want, he could not give to others!
The immortal way values personal interests; this world is cruel.
"Splash~"
The slight sound of water occasionally echoed, and under Wen Caiyi’s service, a peculiar bathing session soon came to an end.
After bathing and changing into fresh robes, Liu Yu felt refreshed.
Even the fatigue from his journey under the stars faded significantly, preparing him for the "great battle" that night.
After bathing, Liu Yu did not head directly to the training room or go to rest in his bedroom.
Wen Caiyi understood and brought out a tray.
On the tray lay several red jade tokens, each inscribed with familiar names.
"Young master, which lady's token should we turn first?"
Calming her emotions, Wen Caiyi respectfully asked.
