Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 18 ---

"Well, don't be too shocked." Bibi Dongxue said while stared at her son. ​​

"We are saving them from those assassins yesterday, right." She added with a smile on her face, "So, of course, they want to pay us back."

"Really?" Yunlong said as he doesn't believe his mother as he knows just how cunning is she.

"You two want to pay us back?" He added while shifted his gaze to the mother-daughter maids.

"Of course, Young master. You're saving our life after all." Chu Yunxi responded with a bright smile on her face.

"Mm, thanks... Young master." Chu Xiaoyu quietly said while giving him a nod.

Yunlong is suspiciously staring at them before shifted his gaze back to his mother.

"Are you sure, only that?" Yunlong asked Bibi Dongxue as he could feel she planned something.

'Well, of course not. I gave Chu Yunxi and Chu Xiaoyu a promise and a little bit of intimidation before they immediately agreed to be our maid.' Bibi Dongxue thought while nodded her head.

"Well, I also accepted Xioayu as my disciple as she's talented compared to others." Bibi Dongxue said while giving Chu Xiaoyu a look.

"You accepted her as your disciple?" Yunlong shifted his gaze to Chu Xiayu while thinking about something.

'Doesn't that mean she would have two disciples after we go back to the spirit hall?' Yunlong thought, as he knows in the original story, Bibi Dong had one female disciple.

"Okay, only that?" Yunlong asked while shifted his gaze back to his mother.

"Yes, only that." Bibi Dongxue said while giving her son a calm look.

Yunlong released a sigh as he sat on the chair and stared at the food on the table.

"You are not the one who cooks these breakfasts, right," Yunlong said as he took out a bowl of warm soup.

"Mm, Yunxi is the one who cooks these breakfasts while Xiaoyu is still learning from her." Bibi Dongxue replied while giving Chu Yunxi an unusual gaze.

"Is that so?" Yunlong responded while taking a sip of the warm soup, which is surprisingly good.

"It's good." He praised Chu Yunxi's cooking before saying, " If she keeps cooking, doesn't that mean mother will not cook for me from now on?"

"I will miss your cooking, Mother..." Yunlong said with a sad smile on his face.

'Ahh! He's right...' Bibi Dongxue's eyes widened in shock as she suddenly realized this.

'Doesn't that mean Yunlong will not eat my cooking again?' She added in her heart while giving Chu Yunxi a sharp gaze.

"Ehem, Yunxi only cooks for us today, just to showcase her ability as a maid." Bibi Dongxue suddenly stated, which makes Chu Yunxi confused.

"I will cook for you tomorrow, so you don't have to miss my food." She added with a reassuring expression, to which Yunlong responded with a happy smile on his face.

'Why did Mistress suddenly change the deal?' Chu Yunxi thought while staring at Bibi Dongxue with a complicated look.

'We agreed to become maid as long she gives us her protection from those scums, but she also threatened us not to act unpleasantly in front of her or her son.' She added in her heart while remembering Bibi Dongxue's intense pressure, most likely at the titled douluo's pressure according to her guess.

"As long you two are on my side, you would be safe from those people, but... If you dare to do something bad to my Yunlong, I will personally eradicate you two from this world." Chu Yunxi muttered her mistress's unkind words, which makes her body shivering.

Yunlong is calmly enjoying the breakfast, but he's still constantly observing them.

'Well, it's okay... I guess. I would never have thought to have maids, though.' Yunlong thought before smiling at his mother.

After breakfast, Yunlong is lying on the couch as Chu Xiaoyu is quietly standing beside him.

"How old are you, Xiaoyu?" Yunlong asked the little girl beside him.

"Six years old." Chu Xiaoyu replied while giving him a poker face.

"I see... You are a lot quiet compared to yesterday. Did something happened?" Yunlong stared at her as he wants to know what is his mother doing.

"Nothing happened." She replied while keep maintaining her poker face.

"Young master, Xiaoyu is usually quiet if she's near people." Chu Yunxi interjected while placing a warm tea in front of Yunlong.

"I see..." Yunlong nodded his head while taking the tea.

"Then, what is her spirit rank? Xiaoyu's a spirit master, right?" Yunlong said while curiously staring at Chu Xiaoyu because she manifested a yellow spirit ring when fighting him yesterday.

"I'm at level 13 right now." Chu Xiaoyu responded as an icy blue sword appeared on her hand and a yellow spirit floating from her feet.

"Ohh, you should have innate full spirit power, right," Yunlong said while giving her a nod.

"I also have a spirit ring, you know." He added as a purple spirit ring floating from his body.

"Oh my, a purple spirit ring..." Chu Yunxi said with a shocked expression, to the point of making her covered her mouth in disbelief.

"Yunxi." Bibi Dongxue's voice echoed in her ear, which makes her turned her gaze.

Chu Yunxi stared at Bibi Dongxue, who gave her a knowing look, which somehow makes her body cold.

"I understand, Mistress." Chu Yunxi said while giving Bibi Dongxue a nod as she needs to tightly sealed her lips about this.

"Purple spirit ring..." Chu Xiaoyu's widened while staring at Yunlong like he's a monster.

'I know that he's powerful, but to think he would be this monstrous.' Chu Xiaoyu thought as, from their last clash, she vaguely know how powerful Yunlong is.

"What about a spar? We still have time before hunted another spirit ring, right." Yunlong asked his mother, who is nodded her head.

"Well, we still have plenty of time." Bibi Dongxue nodded her head.

'We still had a few days until the original came to the star dou forest, so it should be fine.' Bibi Dongxue thought while drinking her tea.

"So, do you want to spar?" Yunlong asked the girl beside him.

"Okay..." Chu Xiaoyu replied while nodded.

Yunlong and his little maid then walked to the backyard.

"Misstress, is this fine." Chu Yunxi said with a worried expression on her face.

"It's okay. I also want to see Xiaoyu's fighting prowess." Bibi Dongxue replied while lifted her body from the chair and walked to the backyard.
