1620 Bertha, This Is How Much I Trust You! (2)

A figure with long green hair stepped down from the flying car and quickly entered the manor’s hall.

“Master!” The beautiful young lady half-knelt respectfully in front of Wang Teng.

“Bertha, it’s been a long time!” The hero smiled. “Get up, there’s no need for the formalities.”

The lady stood up.

“Sit,” he said, pointing at the chair next to him.

“I wouldn’t dare,” she replied.

“Sit when I tell you to.” His tone was calm.

“Yes!” Bertha’s heart jumped in surprise.

Her master was stronger than before; his current presence was a bit unbearable. However, she followed his orders to a T, so she quickly sat down.

“Relax, I won’t eat you.” Wang Teng said.

Her beautiful face suddenly turned red. No one knew what she was thinking.

Eat me…

How would he do that?

It wasn’t her fault. A beautiful slave like her was supposed to comply with such matters.

Many people would spend lots of money to buy slaves like her so they could have a good bite.

She was powerful and gorgeous, inciting people into desiring to conquer her.

Wang Teng looked at her, feeling at a loss. He didn’t know what she was thinking.

Why is it that all the women I’ve met recently look at me like that?

Do they think I’m a sick pervert?

Wang Teng was frustrated. He cleared his throat and said, “What are you thinking? Why do women like you think about such things?”

“???” Bertha was dumbfounded.

Master is truly shameless, playing the blame game.

He changed the subject with a straight face, “All right. Hurry up and get those nasty thoughts out of your head. Let’s get down to business.”

She asked after taking a deep breath, “Why were you looking for me?”

“My territories have expanded. I see that you’ve done a good job managing both the Milky Way and the Yulan Galaxy. It is now time for you to take on more responsibilities.” He then stood up and patted her shoulder.

This came as a shock to the young lady.

She already knew that Wang Teng had become an earl. Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

The addition of more territories was something she had foreseen, given his rise in status.

However, being handed the reins to manage the new territories was an unexpected move.

Nobles would often choose to assign a different person for each territory as a way to safeguard their interests. Not only would it decentralize their power, the administrators would keep each other in check.

Even if one of them had a problem, it would affect the others’ performance.

However, the young earl was actually assigning her to manage everything. Did he trust her that much?

Of course, Bertha was flattered by this.

She hesitated for a while before she commented, “Master, I’m afraid this isn’t appropriate.”

She wanted to refuse.

Being a mere slave, her life was in the young hero’s hands. She would be doomed if anything went wrong.

“You seem concerned,” Wang Teng said.

The response was blunt. “Yes, I’m afraid this is beyond my capabilities.”

“Have you forgotten about Round Ball’s existence? How does it feel to have its help so you can manage two galaxies?” he asked.

“Having Sir Round Ball guiding me is indeed helpful,” Bertha replied.

“Sir Round Ball?” The young hero’s expression was odd.

“Hehehe.” Round Ball’s snickering could be heard in Wang Teng’s mind.

“How vicious of you.”

The little helper cleared its throat. “Cough, I’m still an intelligent lifeform after all. I can’t be looked down upon.”

“Alright, I can’t be bothered with you.” Wang Teng then looked at Bertha. “Since you have Round Ball’s help, what is there to be afraid of? I will continue to have the fellow help you.”

The young administrator was still hesitant.

“Feel free to step into the role. I will give you full rights and the freedom to do so. I won’t blame you in case of honest mistakes, unless you start getting other ideas. If that were the case, I’ll…” Wang Teng left the sentence unfinished.

She was flustered by this, so she quickly replied, “Don’t worry. My life is in your hands, I wouldn’t dare have any odd thoughts.”

“There’s nothing to worry about, then.” Wang Teng smiled.

“All right.” Bertha smiled bitterly, “Looks like you want me to manage all your territories.”

“This represents my trust in you, Bertha.” Wang Teng patted her shoulder again.

She rolled her eyes.

He clearly wants to wash his hands off the responsibility. And yet, he says he trusts me.

Why should I believe you!

But this also showed his high regard for her work. It made her happy.

It was rare for a slave to achieve something as grand.

She sometimes thought her life had peaked.

After all, she was just a cosmos stage warrior. Not even the ordinary heaven stage warriors would have the authority to manage multiple galaxies.

Wang Teng made this possible!

The young slave looked at her master with mixed feelings. He was just a Baron when she was bought, living in unstable conditions.

However, he now had a firm foothold and became an Earl. His status had undergone a drastic change, giving her a surreal feeling.

“Oh right, how’s Hardy doing lately?” Wang Teng asked.

“He must be on Earth protecting your family.”

He nodded and said, “All right, carry on. I’ll have Round Ball message you if there’s anything.”

“Understood.” The young administrator got up and took her leave.

She sighed after walking out of the manor, fearing that her master would ask her to stay and warm his bed.

After all, she couldn’t refuse if he ever made that kind of request.

Unless she chose death.

…

Wang Teng stretched his back after watching her leave. Dumping all the work to his subordinate was a joyful experience.

However, he realized that he was understaffed after his rise in power.

The hero shook his head. Such matters can’t be rushed. It would all depend on fate.

Leaving the matter to rest, the young hero went back to the cultivation and resumed his meditation.

He had to admit it: the more techniques he mastered, the more time was needed for cultivation, even with the support of the system. Time management was critical if he wanted to keep making progress.

He sat cross-legged inside the room and began to work on the lightning domain he had obtained during the League of Talents.

His clone had already turned this domain into the Lightning Spear Domain during the elimination battle. His clone had explored the forbidden lightning zone, and the results were multiplied.

The efficiency to develop this attribute was greatly reduced when practicing on planet Yuming.

Fortunately, his accumulated enlightenment was great, which could save a lot of time.

The strands of enlightenment flashed in his mind, and his Lightning Spear Domain reached the fourth rank. Fluctuations surrounded his body; there were also faint arcs of energy leaping about. There was even a faint sound of thunder.

Just then, an extremely sharp aura made a sudden appearance in the arc filled domain. Sword glows were formed as the lightning scurried around, emitting a deadly and dangerous presence.

Golden Lightning Sword Domain!

That was the sword domain he obtained from the attributes dropped by the Third Prince; furthermore, it was a Combined Domain.

The prince’s domain was merely at the second rank. However, it had already attained the fourth rank in Wang Teng’s hand.

After all, his metal and lightning domains were fourth-ranked.

A combined domain would naturally reach the fourth rank, too.

Fortunately, he had already obtained the attributes for the Golden Lightning Sword Domain. He was familiar with the Combined Domain; it was just that his domain was stronger than the Third Prince’s, which was why he needed time to assimilate and test it.

Time passed slowly, and the two surrounding domains had completely fused into one. The golden and purple glows flickered and danced around non stop, forming dangerous sword projections.
