Yan Ye looked at Lu Lingqiu in shock, his originally red face quickly turning pinker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally...have you finally waited for the day when you can devote yourself to your master?

But, I'm not mentally prepared yet...

What to do?

No, the opportunity is rare! You must not back down at this time!

Giving the owner physical and mental pleasure is also part of the job! Hmm!

"Xiaoye? What are you...thinking about??"

Lu Lingqiu looked at the girl in front of him with confusion, her body trembling and her face flushed. She was obviously going through a huge psychological struggle. The image of Xia Lianxing when she was having random thoughts vaguely appeared in her mind...

Sure enough, Yan Ye turned his back shyly, slowly stretched his hands to his waist, and gently pulled the bow ribbon wrapped around his body——

The spirit of the printed kimono style makes the uniform free from restraints.

gently relaxed from her body,

Her flawless, jade-like body was about to appear before Lu Lingqiu's eyes without any obstruction.

"Stop it, Xiaoye, stop it!"

Lu Lingqiu reacted immediately, rushed forward and grabbed her falling clothes again, turned his head and wrapped them back on her body.

"Eh? Master..." Yan Ye turned around in surprise, his true ocher pupils filled with confusion and confusion.

"Has the master regretted it?"

"What are you talking about, Xiaoye, wake up, you are not afraid of flames!" Lu Lingqiu clasped his hands together and wrapped her tightly, then turned around helplessly, wondering whether this child was possessed by Lianxing.

Already...

"Um?"

The girl suddenly remembered, yes, she doesn't seem to need to take off her clothes...

"Eh--?!!"

It's over.

Everything is finished.

So, in front of the master today, not only did you commit stupidity, but unfortunately, did you also expose your nymphomaniac side?

…

After a cup of tea——

Yan Ye had already used spiritual fire to get rid of the wetness on his body, and the two of them sat on the bed facing each other. The awkward atmosphere just now could not be dissipated for a long time.

Lu Lingqiu took a sip of black tea and broke the silence first:

"Did you not listen to me and take a good rest on time?"

"Ah I……"

The girl dodges her eyes and murmurs:

"I forgot...I'm sorry, Master."

"Hey, I've told you many times that work is work and rest is rest. They must be separated."

He shook his head and added:

"No one can complete a thousand work projects continuously day and night. Excessive fatigue will make people confused. Xiaoye, be kind to yourself, this is an order."

"...Well, I understand."

The girl lowered her head and spoke in a low voice, like a child who had done something wrong. Such a pitiful look reminded Lu Lingqiu of the time he and Mu Qing spent together at the Yugou Inn.

He suddenly realized that neither Mu Qing at that time nor Yan Ye now made any real mistakes. Instead, it was his neglect of caring for them that made them feel so wronged.

At this time, even if it is for their own good, you should not make any big claims. Doing so will only make them more sad.

Lu Lingqiu quickly thought clearly about the joints here, and he chose another way to solve the problem.

"Xiaoye, you must be very tired recently, right?"

he asked casually.

"Eh?"

Yan Ye was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head and looked at his master.

"I'm okay."

"Actually, I wanted to say it a long time ago."

Just when she was defenseless, Lu Lingqiu suddenly looked directly into her eyes seriously and said softly:

"You look really good after you take off the mask."

all of a sudden,

These words are like arrows,

It broke through the girl's heart wall in one fell swoop.

"Eh? Eh?? Eh-?!!" Yan Ye's cheeks that had just cooled down suddenly turned red again, and he could even feel that the temperature in the entire room was rising crazily!

"Calm down, calm down first. The house is about to burn down."

"me……"

She knew that the master rarely praised someone for being "good-looking".

Because in Jinghua Palace, every spirit envoy is very good-looking. And they are so "good-looking" that if placed in the human world, they would definitely bring disaster to the country and the people.

"Master...I, I'm very happy!"

His appearance was recognized by His Highness the Holy Spirit. Yan Ye's face, which had always been cold and serious, finally burst into a sweet and intoxicating smile.

Lu Lingqiu was stunned.

Sure enough, this is what spirit envoys should look like.

It would be great if we could keep them happy like this.

He knew that although his fire spirit might be a little forgetful from time to time, he was the most diligent, careful and efficient among all the spirits. None of the tasks he assigned to her had any flaws.

, basically everything was achieved perfectly by her.

Yan Ye, who is serious, talks less, works silently, and has no complaints, has always been the most worry-free for Lu Lingqiu. But because of this, he found that "worry-free" will gradually evolve into "worry-free" to a certain extent.

indifferent".

This is something he absolutely, absolutely must avoid.

"Xiaoye, I've really worked hard on you this time."

Lu Lingqiu once again solemnly expressed his gratitude.

"Eh? Master, this is what I should do! I..." She quickly stood up, looking a little flustered.

She didn't know why the master suddenly said this. Isn't it the duty of every spirit to complete the task perfectly?

"I often thought that after signing the "Flower God Contract", everything you did for me was a matter of course."

Lu Lingqiu sighed,

"However, now I understand that everything is due to your excellence.

Without your presence, how could I have developed Jinghua Palace to its current scale so smoothly.

Every time, I have been stingy with praising and rewarding you as you should have done, but now that I think about it, as the master, I am too selfish."

His words were profound and full of introspection. However, these words frightened Yan Ye.

"Master... that's not the case! It's not! Please don't say words like 'selfish'!"

The girl trembled and said:

"Actually... being able to be brought to Jinghua Palace by the master and survive... I, I am already very satisfied!

Only in the process of doing things for my master can I feel the meaning of my existence! If you had not looked back at that time, if, if, you just left me alone...

Now, even if I am alive, I will probably wander aimlessly in the endless abyss. In that case, it is really better to remain silent forever."

Yan Ye's eyes were sparkling, and tears were already welling up in her eyes.

Lu Lingqiu knew that continuing this topic would not only make her fall into an endless loop, but would also cause her to be affected by the negative emotions brought about by black memories.

He took a deep breath and said:

"That's it, Xiaoye. I've thought about it.

In the future, each of you can ask me for a reward after completing a task.

No matter what the request is, as long as it is something I can do, I will agree to it.

No, even if I can't do it, I will find a way to achieve it."
