With a chuckle, a woman in an apricot-yellow dress smiled charmingly.
"My lord, you truly are in a hurry."
She then glanced around with her charming eyes and said to the other women, "Ladies, have you felt a bit tired on our journey? How about taking a bath first?"
The women nodded one after another.
"Indeed, I’ve been wanting to take a bath for a while now."
The woman in the apricot-yellow dress then smiled at Zhao Ya and said, "My lord, we ladies will go take a bath first, and then we’ll come to serve you, alright?"
As she said this, she suddenly winked at Zhao Ya, "Of course, if you don’t mind, you can join us for the bath."
Without waiting for Zhao Ya’s response, the women covered their mouths with smiles and then giggled their way to the bathroom.
As soon as they left, Liu Yuhuan sprang out and spat disdainfully on the ground.
"Join them for a bath if you don’t mind? Ugh, how shameless!"
She then looked at Zhao Ya, "My lord, do you truly prefer such vulgar women?"
While saying this, Liu Yuhuan’s face was full of defiance.
Indeed, although these women were considered beauties, they were still quite inferior compared to Liu Yuhuan.
Even though Liu Yuhuan hadn’t fully matured, her natural allure as a Fox Woman was truly astonishing.
Thus, Liu Yuhuan couldn’t understand why Zhao Ya would reject her and choose these women.
Zhao Ya glanced at her, "Who said I liked such women?"
"Then why did you...?"
Liu Yuhuan wanted to ask why Zhao Ya kept these women.
Zhao Ya suddenly thought of something, "Oh right, I have a task for you."
Liu Yuhuan was taken aback, "What task?"
"You don’t like those women, right? Then they’re yours. As long as you don’t beat or harm them, you can do whatever you want with them."
"Really, do whatever I want?" Liu Yuhuan asked in disbelief.
"Of course, I said you can do whatever you want, so do as you please." Then Zhao Ya yawned long.
"Alright, I’m going to sleep."
With that, Zhao Ya turned and went back inside to sleep, leaving Liu Yuhuan alone, rubbing her hands with excitement.
"Hehe, I see I misunderstood my lord earlier. He doesn’t actually like those vulgar women, that makes it easy," she thought of how she’d deal with them.
It was clear, she could do anything except beat or harm them.
For Liu Yuhuan, full of tricks and ideas, it couldn’t be easier.
However, those women were truly dawdling.
A full half an hour passed before they came out of the bathroom, every woman’s hair damp but faces even fresher, indicating they had applied makeup in the bathroom.
When they came out, they didn’t see Zhao Ya, but only Liu Yuhuan sitting in the chair.
These women were stunned, then an awkward expression appeared on their faces.
This was due to Liu Yuhuan’s appearance putting great pressure on them.
But as brothel courtesans they had their own specialties, and their innate competitiveness awakened immediately, every eye flashing with alertness.
"Who are you, where is Lord Shi?" the woman in the apricot-yellow dress first asked.
"I am the lord’s personal maid, the lord was too tired and went to sleep," Liu Yuhuan replied flatly.
"Hmm? Went to sleep?" The woman in the apricot-yellow dress looked shocked.
Knowing so many courtesans were gathered, any other man would die of excitement.
Yet he went to sleep.
How awkward.
However, the woman in the apricot-yellow dress quickly reacted, with a smile on her face.
"So you’re the lord’s maid, young sister, you don’t need to wait here, we can go to the lord’s room ourselves."
With that, the woman in the apricot-yellow dress took a step to go inside, but Liu Yuhuan stretched her leg to block the path.
"Who said you could go?"
"Hmm? Is there anything else?" The woman’s tone turned a bit hostile.
She stared jealously at Liu Yuhuan’s flawless face, then her gaze slowly shifted downwards, finally resting on her chest.
Only that flat chest gave her a shred of superiority, so the woman in the apricot-yellow dress deliberately puffed out her own chest.
"We’re here to serve the lord, what’s wrong with that?"
"It’s wrong, the lord doesn’t want to be disturbed when he’s sleeping, so he clearly said before leaving to have me assign tasks to you all,"
"Assign tasks?" The woman looked stunned.
"Yes, the lord likes to have a well-cooked mutton soup in the morning, so you women go to the kitchen now to prepare ingredients and cook it so that the lord can drink it in the morning."
"You’re telling us to cook soup in the kitchen?" The woman in the apricot-yellow dress looked incredulous.
"Why not? If not, clean the house. The lord doesn’t like chaos, the floor should be so clean it’s unstained."
The woman in the apricot-yellow dress was nearly amused by anger, raising a delicate hand to point at herself.
"Do you know who I am, telling me to do these things?"
"Does who you are have anything to do with me? If I tell you to do it, do it, or I’ll have a hundred ways to make you regret it," Liu Yuhuan said casually, crossing her legs.
The woman in the apricot-yellow dress’s eyes turned cold, "I am Wansheng Building’s leading courtesan, even the Dispatcher treats me with respect, yet you tell me to do this servant’s work. Do you really think being the lord’s maid lets you do anything?"
Liu Yuhuan chuckled, then lifted her head with a face full of nonchalance, speaking seriously and deliberately, "You’re right, I can do anything, and what’s a leading courtesan—aren’t you just a prostitute?"
With these words, the faces of the women present instantly changed.
They became extremely unpleasant.
The woman in the apricot-yellow dress trembled with anger, her voice shaking, "Fine...fine, I’ll leave now, and I’ll see what you can do."
With that, she truly turned to leave, and naturally, the other women were about to follow.
But at that moment Liu Yuhuan suddenly stood up from the chair, grabbed the woman in the apricot-yellow dress by her hair.
Unable to hold back from the pain, the woman cried out, but Liu Yuhuan forcibly pulled her down onto the chair.
Then Liu Yuhuan, like a mighty warrior, lifted her astonishingly long leg, pressing down directly on the woman’s chest.
"Dare to say another ’no,’ and you’ll never speak again?"
