7 – The Master’s Task
Suyun felt threatened.
She looked at the beautiful girl in a thin nightgown in front of her and felt a little unreal.
“I will come, don’t call the police, Xuejie.”
“Ha. Alright, it’s settled then.”
Qin Xue smiled at Suyun’s obedient demeanor.
“You’re not dizzy anymore, right? Go sweep the hall.”
“Mm.” Suyun replied vaguely.
However, when she lifted the blanket to get out of bed, she discovered a terrifying thing.
Where were her original clothes…
Only then did Suyun see that her originally thick coat had been replaced with white cotton clothes and pants.
This…
She looked up at Qin Xue, who was walking towards the door.
Maybe she thought her clothes were dirty… And she was also a girl; it wasn’t a big deal.
Speaking of which, this room is so big, is it just a bedroom?
Following behind Qin Xue, Suyun quickly arrived at the hall.
She had thought the bedroom was already big enough, but the spaciousness of the hall left her jaw dropped.
“Ah…” Suyun’s eyes widened in disbelief as she blinked.
Wow, this is the hall? Isn’t this a playground?
It might be a bit exaggerated, but it certainly looked bigger than the calculus classroom from the afternoon, which was pretty intimidating.
Is this the power of money?
Then, Suyun looked at Qin Xue’s back with a sense of reverence.
If she didn’t listen to Qin Xue, she might be quietly taken out, especially after biting the other person’s sister…
“Alright, you can clean here. The broom and mop are in the restroom.” Qin Xue walked to the sofa in the center of the hall.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Suyun looking around.
“What are you looking at?”
“Oh, sorry, I’m just surprised by how big this place is…” Suyun said with a hint of envy.
She still lived in a rented house. Even when she got to university, she was still planning to share a room with her parents.
Suyun had no complaints because her parents treated her well, providing her with good food, drinks, and clothes. During vacations, she would go back home for a month, renting a small place to stay together, saving a few thousand dollars a year that way.
“It’s fine.” Qin Xue didn’t seem to pay much attention to Suyun’s words, just finished the task arrangement and left, leaving Suyun standing alone in the hall in a daze.
Seeing that she was alone, Suyun searched for the restroom in the spacious house for a while before finally finding the broom.
This place could probably accommodate her entire class.
Back in the hall, Suyun gazed at the obviously expensive LCD TV.
Of course, that wasn’t the main point; the main focus was the clock above the TV, which showed the hour hand was between 10 and 11.
The dorm curfew was at 11:20.
“I’ve slept for more than five hours?” Suyun calculated, feeling a bit dazed.
What a… sigh.
Anyway, staying alive is the greatest luck, so she should just sweep the floor.
If it weren’t for Qin Xue’s sister, she might have slept through forever.
Then Suyun began to seriously sweep the floor, not missing any corners.
To be honest, if Suyun had been in a male body before, this hall covering hundreds of square meters would have really been too much; after finishing sweeping, she would probably be exhausted halfway through mopping.
But now, Suyun felt full of energy.
As she swept, she found herself getting faster, her eyes scanning for trash almost changing places every second.
I might fly!
……
In no time, Suyun stood back in the center of the hall looking at the almost sparkling floor, feeling a sense of achievement.
However, because she was going so fast, she almost knocked over an antique-like vase; thankfully, she reacted quickly and caught it; otherwise, she would have probably had to do household chores for Qin Xue for a lifetime.
Maybe even a lifetime wouldn’t be enough.
It would be better to slow down.
Suyun got a bit carried away; after all, experiencing this speed and strength was something new for her.
She had been quite worried about being weak every day in the future; what if she was out playing at night and a drunken, unruly person passed by? That would be bad.
But now, it seemed completely unnecessary; as long as she could absorb blood, she feared no one.
“Absorb blood…” Midway through her thoughts, Suyun froze again.
Getting blood today without being caught was purely good luck; next time it might not be the same.
This means Suyun could still starve to death or be captured for experiments because she couldn’t resist absorbing blood.
“…”
“Wow!” Suddenly, a scream echoed from the other side of the hall, creating ripples in this originally peaceful place.
Suyun turned her head and saw the girl she had bitten.
To Suyun, this girl now looked like a small cake, sweet and delicious.
No, wait…
“Uh, I’m sorry.” Suyun approached with the mop to apologize, but Qin Yuanyuan saw her coming and immediately ran inside.
“Sister, I’m going to be bitten!”
“Why did you bring this monster back?” Qin Yuanyuan shouted while running, and ended up tripping over her own feet right in front of Suyun.
“Wah…” The other party began to cry again.
“I…” Suyun watched this scene, not knowing what to say.
Clearly, she hadn’t done anything, yet this girl was already crying.
“Yuanyuan?” Qin Xue heard the noise and quickly ran out of the room.
She glared at Suyun.
“I didn’t touch her… she tripped on her own while running.” Suyun explained with a feeling of oppression and a hint of grievance.
“Yuanyuan, sister is here, don’t cry, there’s no monster here, no one will harm you.” Qin Xue squatted down and hugged Qin Yuanyuan, soothing her.
This loving scene touched Suyun.
She had once curled up in her mother’s arms like this, feeling the fullness of safety.
“Wah, but sister, you brought her back.” Qin Yuanyuan pointed accusingly at Suyun.
“Sorry…”
“That’s alright, she won’t dare to bite you again. If she does something bad, tell sister, and I’ll punish her for you, alright?” Qin Xue gently stroked Qin Yuanyuan’s soft head.
“Mm… then I trust sister.” Qin Yuanyuan looked up at Suyun and then immediately buried her head in her sister’s embrace.
Clearly, the other party was still quite afraid of Suyun.
“Yuanyuan, you should go back to the room and sleep, sister has something to discuss with her.”
“Okay, sister, hurry inside.” Qin Yuanyuan struggled to get up and walked to her room, closing the door.
Now only Suyun and Qin Xue remained in the hall.
“Is this your sister?” Suyun finally spoke after the others had left, initially afraid of scaring the timid girl.
“Her name is Qin Yuanyuan, my biological sister.”
“Oh, uh, sorry…”
“No need to apologize, I told you, if you don’t listen to me in the future, I’ll call the police.”
“This…”
Didn’t they just say to do housework? Why did it turn into a threat of calling the police if she misbehaved?
Suyun didn’t dare say it out loud.
She could only be thankful that the other party was Qin Xue. She looked well-off, beautiful, not greedy for her wealth or looks; as long as she contributed some labor, she was completely fine with it.
Qin Xue walked past Suyun, occasionally stealing glances at her.
“Finished cleaning? That was quick.
You need to come here every day; if I come home at night and see no one, you’ll be in trouble.
Here’s the key; the person outside will let you in. I’ll send you the address to your phone later, got it?”
“Mm mm!” Faced with Qin Xue’s series of instructions, Suyun could only nod wildly, fearing that the other party might change her mind.
After their conversation, Qin Xue handed Suyun her original clothes.
Finally, a person who looked like a butler sent Suyun back to the school gate.
……
“How wonderful…” Suyun looked at the cold, empty school gate in front of her.
Desolate and quiet, contrasting sharply with the bright large room she had just been in.
Suyun felt that what she experienced tonight was like a dream.
Qin Xue wasn’t just the university belle that everyone noticed; she was also a true young lady living in a villa with a butler.
