Chapter 426: Not strict with subordinates, but still sensible

"Come on, give me a shoulder rub!"

Xu Yang found a flat spot to sit down and instructed Huang Wu Jiu.

Upon hearing this, Huang Wu Jiu's expression changed for a while, her eyes showing some difficulty. But she finally pursed her lips, walked towards Xu Yang, and placed her slender fingers, like scallions, on Xu Yang's shoulders, gently kneading.

As a princess of the Ghost Phoenix clan, she had been pampered since childhood, never lifting a finger. She had never done anything to serve others, so this was her first time, making her feel particularly tormented and awkward.

But she couldn't refuse, because she had just signed a slave contract with this person. If she didn't obey his orders, she could easily suffer a backlash from the contract.

The creatures following Huang Wu Jiu were stunned to see their master actually obeying Chen Xu's words. Their eyes widened, their heads buzzed, and they were furious and bewildered, not knowing what to do next.

How would they explain this to the elders of the Ghost Phoenix clan when they returned to the upper realm?

More importantly, after signing the slave contract, they couldn't even attack Xu Yang, because master and servant were one, sharing both glory and loss.

Just as they were unable to come to terms with it for a long time.

Xu Yang's expression was calm and unperturbed as he asked:

"Wu Jiu, are you unwilling to rub my shoulders?"

Huang Wu Jiu heard the coldness in Xu Yang's words and quickly explained:

"No, it's not that. It's just that I've never served anyone before, Chen Xu…"

"You called me Chen Xu before, and I didn't blame you. What should you call me now?"

Xu Yang said casually.

"…"

Huang Wu Jiu said shyly, "M-Master."

"Mm."

Xu Yang responded and said, "Your technique is too rough. I don't like it. Get someone else to do it!"

Hearing this, Huang Wu Jiu felt very angry. She was a dignified princess of the Ghost Phoenix clan, and she would never normally serve anyone. Now, she was lowering her status to serve you, and you actually嫌弃her. How could Huang Wu Jiu endure such humiliation?

"Master, I…"

"Hmm?"

"I'll get someone else for you."

Huang Wu Jiu showed a forced smile and looked at the creatures under her command, pointing to one of the women and saying:

"Zhi'er, you serve Master!"

The woman Huang Wu Jiu pointed to was Qing Luan, whose name was Qing Zhi. Seeing her young mistress appoint her, she was unwilling. After all, this Chen Xu was, in her eyes, an insidious villain who took advantage of her young mistress's serious injuries and lack of combat power to force her to acknowledge him as her master. If her young mistress hadn't been injured by King Qing Yuan, this Chen Xu might not have been her match.

Too hateful!

Qing Zhi dawdled for a long time, not moving, seemingly disobeying Huang Wu Jiu's order.

"It seems you don't manage your subordinates well."

Xu Yang looked at Ji Daoxuan and instructed, "Old Zhu, help her out."

Ji Daoxuan understood. He strode towards Qing Zhi, like a demon lord, his terrifying aura rising, his eyes rolling with surging killing intent, making people feel cold all over.

Seeing this, Huang Wu Jiu panicked. She hurriedly knelt down in front of Xu Yang, lowered her head, and pleaded for Qing Zhi:

"Please, Master, spare Zhi'er this time for my sake. She will never dare to be disrespectful to Master again!"

Xu Yang lowered his head, sized up Huang Wu Jiu, reached out and hooked her chin, and said softly:

"What right do you have to plead for her?"

Huang Wu Jiu saw the coldness in Xu Yang's eyes, and she knew that it was completely over. Zhi'er, who had been with her for many years, might die today…

Hiss!

A miserable cry.

Huang Wu Jiu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Zhi'er she…

She clenched her palms tightly, causing her fingertips to sink into her palms because she used so much force.

She had deep feelings for Qing Zhi. Although they were said to be servants, they were like sisters. If Zhi'er died, she really didn't know what to do.

Just as she was out of her wits.

Ji Daoxuan brought Qing Zhi to Xu Yang, and then walked behind Xu Yang, just like a loyal old servant.

Xu Yang looked at Qing Zhi, who was covered in blood, without any pity, and said coldly, "Do you want to die or live?"

Huang Wu Jiu turned around, her eyes fixed on her, hoping that she would not do anything foolish again. Just listen to Master, so that at least she could save her life.

In fact, even without Huang Wu Jiu's hint, Qing Zhi felt that she was only a little bit away from death just now. That was because the old servant held back, otherwise she would be dead now. She struggled to stand up, limped to Xu Yang's back, and wholeheartedly played the role of a maid, serving Xu Yang.

"Your skills are indeed much better than Huang'er's!"

Huang Wu Jiu heard Xu Yang actually call her Huang'er, which made her feel a strange emotion in her heart. This emotion was very strange, making her body a little hot.

"Thank you for your praise, Master."

Qing Zhi replied obediently.

There is great terror between life and death. She didn't want to experience it again, so she instantly entered her role and called Xu Yang Master without any burden.

"Still sensible."

Xu Yang commented lightly, then looked at the remaining creatures and asked:

"What about you?"

The remaining creatures had just witnessed Xu Yang's methods and knew that Xu Yang might give Qing Zhi a second chance, but it was unlikely that he would give them a second chance. So, they all bowed down in front of Xu Yang and shouted:

"Subordinates, greetings, Master."

Xu Yang would naturally not relax his vigilance because of a word of Master. He instructed these people to open their minds. Like Huang Wu Jiu, he wanted to plant slave seals on their immortal souls, so that they would never betray him.

Huang Wu Jiu hesitated to speak aside. In fact, she had already planted slave seals on these creatures, so Xu Yang didn't need to do it again. But thinking of what Master had just said, that he didn't trust her, she didn't say any more nonsense, but watched quietly from the side, behaving like a pet. Maybe even she herself didn't realize that her attitude had undergone earth-shattering changes in a subtle way.

Xu Yang did so many seemingly useless things in order to establish authority. In short, he was CPUing Huang Wu Jiu. It was useless to just put slave seals on the immortal soul. Slave seals on the heart were useful.

Now, after the series of events just now, whether it was Huang Wu Jiu or her subordinates, they all had great awe of him and regarded him as their master. At this time, his goal was achieved.

While enjoying Qing Zhi's exquisite craftsmanship, he looked at Huang Wu Jiu: "Huang'er, I have important matters to instruct you to do, are you willing?"

"May I ask, Master, what is it?"

Although Huang Wu Jiu is not completely in Xu Yang's shape now, she is almost there.
