Chapter 91, Full-Time Nanny
Standing at the entrance of Young Master Sang’s house, Master Yu Xia still felt a bit dazed.
She had changed into a plain cloth dress, with a wooden hairpin typical of common folk.
Clad in this rustic outfit, she arrived at the courtyard.
“Come, please enter.”
Young Master Sang beamed with a smile, leading Master Yu Xia into the yard.
“I’ll make it clear from the start: your job here is to take care of our family’s daily needs, such as washing vegetables, cooking, doing laundry, boiling water, cleaning the house… uh, in short, you’ll be a nanny or a servant. Got it?”
Master Yu Xia understood.
But she didn’t quite comprehend it.
It felt as if she had crossed over. One moment, she was a proud warrior defying the Demon Cult, and the next, she suddenly turned into a nanny?
“Our yard is quite large, and sometimes it’s hard to sweep the leaves. Just make sure the paths are clear. Also, remember to groom the cats and clean their litter every day…”
Young Master Sang eagerly explained the daily tasks, not caring if Master Yu Xia was listening.
“Of course, our family treats the servants well. The salary is negotiable, and you shouldn’t feel constrained here; just think of it as your own home.”
“Anyway,” Sang pointed to the three girls in the house, “Yan Rouwan, Shi Qingyan, Si Jingzhu, aren’t they all familiar faces?”
“Don’t feel estranged; just treat this as the Water Moon Sect.”
“For the next few days, let’s get along well,” Young Master Sang grinned broadly.
Master Yu Xia stared blankly, instinctively nodding.
Although everything was absurd and dramatic,
she seemed to have no choice.
Now that she had lost her cultivation, she had become a mortal. Whether she stayed in the Demon Cult or left, as long as she was targeted by her enemies, her fate would probably be worse than death.
Becoming a servant at Young Master Sang’s home seemed like the best option.
Listening to Young Master Sang continue to rattle off instructions, Master Yu Xia hesitated for a long moment before quietly asking:
“Why… do you want to take me in?”
“Aren’t you going to get revenge on me?”
“I am getting revenge on you,” Young Master Sang winked at her.
“Not just me. The three girls in the house are all waiting for their chance to get back at you too.”
Master Yu Xia gazed blankly into the house, then heard Young Master Sang lean close to her ear and chuckle:
“You don’t actually think being a servant is going to be easy, do you?”
“Let me tell you, being a servant in the Sang household is tough.”
“Now that you’ve made up your mind to atone, just obediently prepare to bear our oppression and persecution.”
“Hehehe~”
He laughed like a villain in a TV drama.
But Master Yu Xia didn’t feel much disgust.
On the contrary, it was completely different from the torment and punishment she had imagined.
She had already envisioned countless scenarios of how Young Master Sang might mistreat her after she became a mortal.
Like sending her to a brothel or handing her over to beggars on the street.
Or even tossing her into a pigsty.
But the only thing she never expected was for Young Master Sang to take her into his home.
Not only willing to provide her with a safe haven, but he would also take care of her meals and living expenses.
This was even a considerable grace.
But thinking of the fact that he was the one who caused her to lose her cultivation, Master Yu Xia couldn’t help but feel conflicted.
What on earth was this man thinking?
What did he mean by atonement…
What could it possibly mean? Master Yu Xia pondered silently.
“Alright.”
Young Master Sang finally finished all the instructions he could think of.
He clapped his hands with a smile and said, “Let’s go. I’ll officially introduce you to the family members.”
He brought Master Yu Xia into the house and began introducing everyone.
“First up, this is your daughter… oh, your former daughter. You can call her Miss Si.”
Si Jingzhu, who was sprawled on the couch browsing comic books, glanced at Master Yu Xia sideways.
After a moment, she scoffed, coldly turning away her gaze.
Clearly, she still harbored a significant animosity toward her.
Master Yu Xia didn’t dare to say much.
After all, she was no longer the proud Master Yu Xia.
Given what she had done to her, it wouldn’t be excessive for her to hate her.
“Call her,” Young Master Sang urged with a grin, looking at her.
Master Yu Xia trembled, her gaze wavering.
After a moment, she weakly called out:
“Si… Miss Si…”
Si Jingzhu cast her a sideways glance.
In an instant, she quickly looked away again.
“Good, next is your beloved disciple… well, your former disciple. You can call her Miss Yan.”
Yan Rouwan was smiling as she looked at Master Yu Xia.
She gently petted the cat in her arms, her tone slightly mischievous: “Oh my, isn’t this the Sect Leader?”
“How can I let the Sect Leader call me ‘Miss’? That would be too much of a breach of hierarchy.”
Master Yu Xia could hear the sarcasm in her words but kept her head lowered, not daring to retort.
Even though in her heart, she still looked down on this traitorous disciple who had turned to the Demon Cult.
But now that she was under the same roof, she had to bow her head.
Taking a deep breath, she slowly lowered her gaze, avoiding Yan Rouwan’s face, and whispered:
“…Miss Yan.”
“Oh dear, how embarrassing.”
Yan Rouwan’s smile widened.
A fleeting glance of satisfaction and delight crossed her eyes.
“Too bad I’m no longer a disciple of the sect, so calling you my master would probably tarnish your reputation.”
“… let’s just call you Aunt Yu,” she said, winking playfully.
She called it so affectionately.
Yet it felt so indifferent.
As if she were merely addressing a disposable servant.
Master Yu Xia pressed her lips tightly together, not uttering a word.
“Finally, we have Shi Qingyan… her situation is a bit special.”
Young Master Sang brought forward Shi Qingyan, who was only five years old, and scratched his head to explain: “She’s in this state due to some accidents, and can only appear like this in front of others.”
“But because of this, you’ll have to take good care of her.”
“At her age, she needs to grow, so make sure she has an extra egg at every meal, and her diet must be balanced with meat, eggs, and milk—nothing can be lacking…”
Shi Qingyan looked up at Master Yu Xia with bright, lively eyes.
But for some reason,
looking at this small and delicate girl made Master Yu Xia feel even more pressured than before.
“So, you’re Aunt Yu, huh?”
Shi Qingyan said slowly: “Our family has gotten quite picky about food because of Little Ying.”
“You better sharpen your cooking skills. Otherwise, we won’t let you off the hook.”
Master Yu Xia nervously nodded.
“I understand… Miss Shi.”
“And this is Jiao Jiao, and that’s Hei Xia. Grooming them and cleaning their litter while giving them dried fish is also part of your job, you know?”
After introducing the two cats, Young Master Sang looked at Master Yu Xia with a smile that didn’t seem innocent at all.
“If you have no further questions…”
“Then, please begin your work.”
