"That's the Cave Master's mount. Brother Miao, don't neglect it."
Shi Xiang pointed at an unusually valiant dragon steed with a bright yellow body. Seeing Miao Yi's reaction, he cautiously reminded him, guessing that Miao Yi would be unhappy doing such a lowly job.
But this was nothing to Miao Yi. He was originally very interested in dragon steeds, so he was quite looking forward to the opportunity to interact with them.
Seeing that Miao Yi wasn't unhappy, Shi Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was mainly afraid that Miao Yi would be unhappy and talk nonsense to Cao Dingfeng, provoking Cao Dingfeng to settle the score with the couple.
"Actually, you don't have to drive the dragon steed out to graze every day. Once every five days is enough. After all, we still prioritize cultivation," Shi Xiang comforted him with a smile.
Miao Yi nodded.
After chatting about the dragon steed for a while, Miao Yi found out that Madam Shi Xiang had always been in charge of the Horse Deputy's affairs, and now it was considered a handover.
After the handover, Madam Shi Xiang left with a straight face.
Shi Xiang accompanied Miao Yi back to Miao Yi's cultivation residence, mainly introducing the situation of Transient Light Cave to Miao Yi. This was Cao Dingfeng's order.
Including the Cave Master, there were a total of eleven people in Transient Light Cave. Cave Master Yuan Zhengkun had a cultivation at White Lotus Fifth Grade. Cao Dingfeng and two other White Lotus Third Grade cultivators were Yuan Zhengkun's capable subordinates. The Shi Xiang couple also had a cultivation at White Lotus Third Grade. There were four other White Lotus Second Grade cultivators, and only Miao Yi had a cultivation at White Lotus First Grade.
Generally, the Cave Master's allocation was eleven people, mainly because they couldn't afford to keep too many people. It had to be known that for every person they accepted, they had to distribute the followers' incense and power of will every year.
As the two of them were chatting in the courtyard pavilion, Madam Shi Xiang came again, followed by two restless beautiful girls.
"These two girls were sent by Cao Dingfeng from Transient Light City to serve your daily needs," Madam Shi Xiang said to Miao Yi expressionlessly.
"Serve me …" Miao Yi sized up the two beautiful girls with their heads lowered. He was still a little unused to this treatment, mainly because he had never had proper contact with women before. He more or less felt a little embarrassed like a young man for his first time. He couldn't help but look at Shi Xiang and ask, "Does every cultivator have one?"
If every cultivator had one, then he was prepared to go with the flow and accept them. Otherwise, he would be a little embarrassed.
Shi Xiang chuckled awkwardly without saying a word.
Madame Shi Xiang said in an enigmatic tone, "How can we, husband and wife, have the fate of ordering maids to serve us? It's good enough that we don't have to be ordered around by others."
"..." Miao Yi was taken aback. He could tell that this couple's cultivation was the same as Cao Dingfeng's, second only to the Cave Master, but their statuses seemed to be very far apart. Cao Dingfeng really did order them around as he pleased.
Shi Xiang rubbed his nose. He wanted to save face and said, "Every cultivator in the cave has two maids. Aren't we husband and wife? If we keep a few maids by our side, what if I can't help but pamper them one day? Wouldn't it cause discord between us? So, I gave them to someone else."
Miao Yi chuckled and thought to himself, 'So he's afraid of his wife.'
He was just about to accept the two maids when Madame Shi Xiang glared at him. She pointed at Shi Xiang and said angrily, "Coward, don't try to stick gold on your face. It's obvious that you're being looked down upon. You took the maids assigned to us, and you still have the nerve to say that you gave them to someone else. If you have the guts, then snatch someone else's maids. Even if you pamper ten of them, I'll pretend I didn't see it! "
Shi Xiang smiled weakly and didn't say a word.
When he heard that there were so many inside stories, Miao Yi was taken aback. Two cultivators at White Lotus Third Grade didn't even have maids, and he, a cultivator at First Grade, had two maids. It seemed … He hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Big Brother Cao treats me well. It's better to let Big Brother Cao have these two maids."
Shi Xiang and his wife were taken aback at the same time. Madame Shi Xiang's gaze flickered as she said, "Since they've been sent to you, then keep them. Having someone by your side to help with the chores will save a lot of trouble."
Miao Yi shook his head. He stood up and said to the two maids, "Follow me."
The two maids obediently followed behind him. When Shi Xiang saw this, he immediately panicked and shouted, "Brother Miao, don't give us …"
Madame Shi Xiang glared at him, and Shi Xiang immediately shut his mouth in embarrassment.
To Madame Shi Xiang, if someone else intercepted her own maids, it meant that they were looking down on them. She couldn't take this lying down, but if she really had to keep two beautiful maids by her man's side, she really wouldn't feel at ease.
After Miao Yi left with the two maids, Madame Shi Xiang pursed her lips and said, "He didn't want to embarrass us by keeping two maids by our side. That's why he sent them away. This kid isn't bad!"
The maids sent to a cultivator's side would always be the cultivator's people, whether they live or die. Aside from running errands, the cultivator had the right to do whatever he wanted with the maids. So naturally, the more the better. He hoped that there would be beautiful women by his side.
When Miao Yi sent the two maids to Cao Dingfeng's side, Cao Dingfeng definitely declined them. But when he saw Miao Yi's sincerity, he accepted them with a smile. His impression of Miao Yi, aside from Chen Fei, had gone up another level. He personally saw Miao Yi off, and repeatedly told Miao Yi to look for him directly if there was anything.
On the way back to his own cultivation residence, Miao Yi gradually realized that it might really be inconvenient in the future without the two maids. He was afraid that he would have to do some of the chores himself. At least, his cultivation hadn't reached a realm where he could be free from the desire for good food. It seemed that in the future, he would have to do everything himself, no matter how big or small, just like when he was cultivating on the island.
When he returned to his residence, Shi Xiang was still waiting for him. He cheerfully pulled Miao Yi to their residence for a banquet.
Madame Shi Xiang had personally prepared a table full of delicious dishes to entertain them. Miao Yi naturally had to thank Madame Shi Xiang.
But as soon as he said 'Madame Shi Xiang', he immediately noticed that Madame Shi Xiang's expression had darkened again. Miao Yi naturally had to ask for the reason. "Madame doesn't seem to like me calling you 'Madame Shi Xiang'. Could it be that I've offended you in some way?"
"You don't know the inside story, so you can't be blamed." Madame Shi Xiang didn't hide it from him, because there were some things that Miao Yi would find out sooner or later. Rather than letting others look down on her after finding out, she might as well take the initiative to admit it. Thus, she told the truth.
It turned out that the so-called 'Shi Xiang' was a completely humiliating and sarcastic title. Shi Xiang's real name was Yan Xiu, and Madame Shi Xiang's real name was Luo Zhen.
The two of them were the most senior members of Transient Light Cave. The Cave Master and members of Transient Light Cave had changed one after another, and only these two people had always been here.
Whenever an enemy attacked Transient Light Cave, the husband and wife wouldn't put in any effort. When the Cave's troops were defeated, the husband and wife would surrender. The current Transient Light Cave's Cave Master, Yuan Zhengkun, had only conquered Transient Light Cave a month ago, and had just occupied Transient Light Cave's territory.
In order to protect themselves, the husband and wife once again surrendered to Yuan Zhengkun. This was already the tenth time the husband and wife had surrendered.
It could be said that the two of them had made a name for themselves by surrendering. Within Transient Light Cave, no one thought highly of the two of them. They ridiculed and humiliated them by calling them 'Shi Xiang' and 'Madame Shi Xiang'.
