Liu Mei furrowed her brows, "Why though."
"Xiao Ye, they’re all your Beast Girls, they’re my sisters, you seriously can’t ignore any one of them,"
"Or we’ll gang up on you and chop off your balls!"
Xiao Ye twitched, sent a sound transmission to Liu Mei, and said,
"Ever hear of too many wolves chasing too little meat? If they all show up, I can’t handle it."
"At that point, forget once a week, having it once a month would be a miracle!"
"You’ve experienced it yourself, that feeling of not being satisfied... *How could I possibly satisfy so many Beast Girls by myself?*"
"Yeah, there are eight Beast Girls in total."
Liu Mei suddenly understood and nodded thoughtfully, "Alright then, let’s just have Xiaoxi and Xi’Er over first."
"Hey, can’t you make a clone or something?"
"One clone for each Beast Girl, wouldn’t that be perfect?" Her eyes sparkled.
Xiao Ye’s face went dark, "No way! I absolutely will not make a clone of myself just to fool around with my own Beast Girls."
"If I did that, it’d feel like I got cucked by myself!"
"It’s a matter of principle and my bottom line!"
Liu Mei rolled her eyes, "I was just saying."
Xiao Ye’s face stayed gloomy as he replied, "Funny, but don’t say it again."
Xiao Ye hugged Gu Qingcheng’s soft, delicate body and, after watching the sunrise for half an hour, headed downstairs to the first-floor living room.
Jiang Xue’an, as if possessed, brought over a basin of warm water, conjured a Sacred Realm Deep Sea Fruit from thin air, and squeezed it into the water.
"Master, Mistress, you two didn’t soak your feet together yesterday, you can do it today, right?" she teased with a cheeky smile.
Xiao Ye spoke speechlessly, "Foot soak in the morning? Little maid, are you bored or..."
He hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Gu Qingcheng looking at him, eyes full of expectation.
"Uh, nice job, little maid, morning is actually the perfect time for a foot soak, gets rid of dampness, yeah."
He guessed that he’d refused to soak feet yesterday with Sister Qingcheng, which had probably upset her, so now she was really attached to the idea of soaking feet together.
Jiang Xue’an got excited, immediately pulled off Xiao Ye’s shoes, and dunked his rough big feet right into the fruit-infused warm water.
Next, she took off Gu Qingcheng’s little white sneakers.
But when she saw those Jade Feet inside the black silk, she hesitated, "Master, I can’t take these off, help me out?"
This time, Xiao Ye didn’t refuse and chuckled,
"I, Xiao Ye, always help others out. Since the little maid asks, I’ll help you this one time."
He turned to the flustered, blushing Hang City Empress and said, "Should I just rip them off or take them off nicely?"
Gu Qingcheng lowered her eyes shyly, "However you like."
Looking at her, completely at his mercy, Xiao Ye swallowed hard.
"Ahem, Sister Qingcheng definitely likes it ripped, right? Did it yesterday, gonna do it again today!"
Yesterday, he’d really been tempted—his hands had itched to touch—but because of the misunderstanding that Gu Qingcheng liked someone else, he hadn’t dared cross the line.
But today, *I’m not holding back.*
*I’ll do it myself this time!*
Without hesitation, he hoisted the Hang City Empress’s long legs onto his shoulder and put those Jade Feet right in his lap.
The silk tore easily, revealing two exquisite, delicate, snow-white little feet.
"Hmm, nice quality," the punk even commented, "Good silk rips easy—that’s real quality. Sister Liu Mei, you know what I mean?"
Liu Mei nodded with total understanding, "Yeah, that’s what makes a good sock."
Back then, she’d made a pair of black silk stockings out of Venerable Level tough material, but no matter how she tried, they wouldn’t rip—one pair could last someone a lifetime.
She’d even thought she’d hit the jackpot with those socks.
Now? That pair’s long gone. If the silk won’t rip, is it even silk anymore?
Right then, Gu Qingcheng blushed and said, "Xiao Ye, could you let my legs down? It’s super embarrassing with you holding them over your shoulder."
Xiao Ye froze, then quickly let go and had her sit beside him.
Gu Qingcheng let out a breath of relief, put her Jade Feet in the basin, stepping right on Xiao Ye’s big rough feet.
Jiang Xue’an lit up with excitement and reached her little hands in, starting up her maid duties.
Scrubbing the feet of Master and Mistress!
*Liu Mei watched from the side, a little envious.*
*She shot Xiao Ye a glare.*
*Hmph! I’ve been with you for a whole month and still haven’t soaked feet together.*
*Qingcheng just started dating you and already gets to do it?*
Xiao Ye squeezed Gu Qingcheng’s soft, boneless hand, and said, "Sister Qingcheng, have you always been alone? Where are your relatives, your parents?"
Gu Qingcheng’s eyes darkened, her delicate face shadowed with sadness, and she replied,
"I have no family, always been alone. When I was twenty, studying at Kunpeng Academy in Devil City, my parents were killed in the Demon Beast Forest near Hang City—nothing left of their bodies."
"I searched for so long, never found their remains."
Her eyes brimmed with tears, her voice choked as she said, "They were probably devoured by Demon Beasts, not even bones left."
Xiao Ye paused and said, "Sorry for bringing up something painful."
"Your father and mother are watching over you, watching over us."
"From now on, I’m your family. Liu Mei is, too. All my Beast Girls are your family. You’re not alone anymore."
Gu Qingcheng nodded hard, "Yeah!"
Suddenly, Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng’s voice sounded in her mind, "Xiaogu, our parents aren’t dead."
"!" Gu Qingcheng was stunned.
"Old Gu, our parents really aren’t dead?" she asked in her mind, full of shock and delight.
Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng laughed, "Yup, our parents are alive! If you check the calendar, they’ll be back in Hang City in a few days."
Gu Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes lit up, "Where are they now? I want to find them!"
Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng hesitated, "Uh, our parents, more than a thousand years ago, the Hidden Imperial Race Ouyang Family kidnapped them, locked them up in an underground research lab, and forced them to be lab rats for Destiny Templates."
"Both of our parents have Destiny Attributes for their Templates."
"The Hidden Imperial Race, as the overlord of the Rule Domain and Blue Star’s strongest power, captured loads of Demon Beasts and humans with special Attributes from the Mortal Realm to study their Template data."
Gu Qingcheng growled in fury, "The Hidden Imperial Race? Daring to capture my parents? They should die!"
Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng said, "Don’t worry, that Hidden Imperial Race isn’t going to last much longer."
"By the way, Xiaobing’s and Xiaoxi’s missing parents—they were also taken by the Ouyang Imperial Race."
"Maybe because you all went to the Wu Family in the Rule Realm yesterday and showed off your peak Quasi-Emperor Realm power, the Ouyang Imperial Race got spooked and decided to let our parents go."
"Either today or tomorrow, our parents will be sent back to Hang City by the Ouyang clan."
Gu Qingcheng snorted, "And what about Xiaobing’s and Xiaoxi’s parents?"
Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng froze, "Still stuck as lab rats."
Gu Qingcheng clenched her fists, "Hmph, Ouyang Imperial Race, I’ll wipe you out!"
Beside her, Xiao Ye noticed Gu Qingcheng’s face flushing red and then turning pale, and his hand being squeezed super tightly, so he said,
"Sister Qingcheng, are your chaotic Rule Powers flaring up? After this foot soak, I’ll give you a massage."
"Then we’ll do all the couple stuff we’re supposed to!"
