Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
A moment later.
Lori no longer continued to rub Xi Wei’s back.
She was simply out of strength, with a sore back and weak arms.
She was now curled up in Xi Wei’s arms, as soft as if her bones had been removed. She didn’t want to move at all, her small rosy mouth slightly open, panting slightly, looking a bit tired.
A few strands of hair stuck playfully to her smooth forehead, adding a touch of allure to her already charming appearance.
She buried her scalding hot face in Xi Wei’s broad back, hiding her misty eyes.
Her whole body was flushed an alluring pink, it was unclear if it was from the steam in the bathroom or from embarrassment.
This wasn’t what Mrs. Chris had said!
Lori’s mind was a bit hazy at the moment.
Mrs. Chris had clearly said that if she rubbed the Master’s back like this while bathing, the Master would definitely not be able to resist.
But the situation now was… Xi Wei directly wrapped her in a bath towel and held her in his arms.
“The Master~”
Lori pouted pitifully in Xi Wei’s arms, letting out a whimpering, spoiled sound.
She felt like an idiot.
Hearing the little maid’s spoiled whine from his embrace, Xi Wei leaned down, nudged her delicate, fair nose, and teasingly asked.
“Who master gave you this idea again?”
“It was, it was Mrs. Chris and those maids…”
Lori bit her tender red lips, her eyebrows lowered, her soft little hands covering her face, feeling a bit flustered.
“Good heavens, I’ll have to talk to Mrs. Chris and the other maids another day. They’re teaching my precious personal maid all sorts of bizarre things.”
“Master, don’t.”
As soon as Lori heard that Xi Wei was going to settle accounts with Mrs. Chris, she immediately panicked. She put on a sad face, enduring the shyness in her heart, and pleaded:
“It was all because…”
“It was because Lori wanted to learn…”
Xi Wei heard this, pinched the little maid’s cheek, and asked with a wry smile, “What are you learning these things for? Are you in such a hurry? The Master isn’t going to fly away.”
“I am in a hurry…”
Lori pouted and mumbled softly.
She lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then hummed in a voice as tiny as a mosquito, “Lori is scared…”
“Scared of what?”
“I’m afraid the Master will be snatched away, and you won’t want Lori anymore. If there’s no Master, how can Lori, Lori continue to live?”
The little maid said pitifully, her eyes turning red, and crystalline tears began to accumulate.
Xi Wei immediately understood the reason behind it.
Perhaps it was because he brought back a fox-eared girl, and the little maid had a sense of crisis, fearing that he would transfer his affections, get tired of the old and fond of the new, and then abandon her.
Xi Wei held Lori, gently patting her smooth pink back, and softly comforted her, “Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you. Master swears to you, I will always be with you.”
Saying this, Xi Wei raised his fist, preparing to swear an oath to Walrice, the goddess who presided over oaths.
But the little maid raised her soft little hand and gently covered his mouth, looking at him with loving eyes, and said sweetly, “Master, you don’t need to swear, we can just pinky promise~”
Xi Wei understood Lori’s intention and couldn’t help but feel even more affection for the girl in front of him.
“Okay! We’ll pinky promise.”
The little finger of one small hand and the little finger of one large hand were linked in this misty atmosphere. Then, their fingers interlocked, holding each other tightly.
“Master, Lori wants a kiss~”
After pinky promising, Lori suddenly smiled playfully, her soft little hands hooking around Xi Wei’s neck.
As if sensing Xi Wei’s heated gaze, her tender pretty face blushed even more, and she playfully chided shyly, “Master, quick, quick kiss me…”
…
What was supposed to be a half-hour bath turned into one that lasted until late at night.
By the time Xi Wei carried Lori, who was wearing pajamas, out, the full moon had already risen to its highest point in the sky.
It was fortunate that he was a Sky Knight; this corridor connected to his bedroom and did not require guards.
Otherwise, it would have been too embarrassing if anyone had seen.
Back in the room, the little maid did not get down from his embrace. She still looked soft and limp, clinging to him tightly like a koala.
“Master… are we going to start acting now?”
Lori nuzzled Xi Wei’s chest like a little piggy, asking with a giggle.
“That’s right.”
Xi Wei had just nodded when the little maid in his arms changed her expression, quickly entering the role as Xi Wei had requested earlier.
Her expression changed from joy and adoration to panic and fear. Then, her voice trembled as she shouted, “Lori doesn’t want to warm the bed! Master, Master is a big bad guy, a big pervert, a pervert!”
As she shouted, she struggled in Xi Wei’s embrace. Although it was described as struggling, she was actually squirming softly.
The way she writhed made Xi Wei’s brow twitch.
“I can’t let this girl keep playing like this,” Xi Wei gritted his teeth, pretending to be evil, and pushed the fragrant, soft little maid onto the bed, saying hatefully, “No one can save you today. You must warm the bed for this young master, or I’ll eat you, Keke…”
“No, I can’t! Lori doesn’t want to warm the bed for the bad Master!”
“Wuwuwu, Lori is no longer clean~ I can only marry the bad Master from now on, wuwuwu…”
The little maid pretended to cry and make a fuss. She even managed to squeeze out two tears.
Just then, a familiar electronic voice sounded in Xi Wei’s mind:
“Ding! Host detected forcing his maid to warm the bed; behavior is wicked and inhumane. Reward Villain Points: 5000 points! Please continue your efforts!”
It worked!
“You stupid system, I’ve found a bug, haven’t I!”
Xi Wei grinned and gave the little maid’s tender pretty face two loud kisses.
“Alright, the experiment is complete. That’s all there is to it.”
“Is this enough?”
Lori stopped struggling, blinked her big eyes, and looked at him doubtfully, with two crystalline tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes.
“This is enough. From now on, every night before going to sleep, we’ll perform this act once.”
Xi Wei replied with a smile, looking very pleased.
“Master.”
“What is it?”
Lori tilted her little head, her cute big eyes looking at her Master, her gaze filled with inquiry and curiosity.
“Master, tell Lori honestly, do you have any strange preferences?”
“…It’s very late, let’s go to sleep…”
“Master, if you have any strange preferences, tell Lori, and Lori will seriously consider Master’s feelings.”
“Huuu zzzz… Hoooô zzzzz…”
“Master, Master?”
“Zzzzz… Hôôô zzzzzz…”
“Hmph! ╯^╰”
