Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was a night of binge drinking. Jiang Yi was drunk, and everyone left happy.

Jiang Yi’s concession and humility satisfied everyone. The crowd was previously going to resist Jiang Yi together in secret, but Jiang Yi gave them a big gift which instantly shattered the alliance. Instead, they started to fight against one another publicly or privately in order to get a bigger share.

In the Sky Thunder Island, people were the resources, the thunder stones, and the merits. Normally, everyone followed the rules, the newcomers could freely choose the chiefs to follow, and people didn’t actively compete for the labor. However, now that three chiefs died, it left so many subordinates. Jiang Yi clearly wanted to give them away, and so the group naturally needed to split them up carefully.

When Jiang Yi returned, the courtyard was all set. The five courtyards nearby were joined together. Niu Wang asked many subordinates to furnish and clean the room and made the yards very tasteful and lovely.

In Jiang Yi’s previous main hall, Feng Luan and the rest were drinking and having fun. Everyone’s face was reddened. Feng Luan and Qing Yu looked at Jiang Yi in an extremely eager way.

Jiang Yi peeped at Jiang Xiaonu and was relieved to see that she didn’t notice the ways that Feng Luan and Qing Yu looked at him. He found out she was also drunk and was in a stupor, and so he quickly said to the still-clear-minded Yun Fei, “Yun Fei, take Xiaonu to her room. She is drunk.”

“Young Master, I’m not drunk, and I don’t want Big Sister Yun Fei to take me to my room!”

Jiang Xiaonu obviously didn’t use to energy to expel the alcohol out her body. She stood up unsteadily and said, “Young Master, you take me to my room.”

“Alright! Everyone, go now, rest earlier.”

Jiang Yi circulated the essence force for one round to clear his mind. Under the instruction of Niu Wang, he held Jiang Xiaonu by her arms and walked towards a courtyard nearby.

A door was installed between the two yards. The courtyard next to Jiang Yi’s was newly decorated. Everything was new, and Niu Wang and his group put in quite a lot of effort. This courtyard solely belonged to Jiang Xiaonu as specially ordered by Feng Luan. Feng Luan and Qing Yu shared one yard; Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei shared one; Qian Wanguan and golden flood dragon shared one. As for the rest, Niu Wang arranged for them to stay in other places.

Jiang Yi took Jiang Xiaonu to the attic. He randomly went into a room and found the decorations were pretty okay. The quilt was brand new and let out a pleasant smell. The environment was much better than in the past.

Jiang Xiaonu seemed really drunk. Half of her body was leaned on Jiang Yi. A silly smile appeared on her face. She stared at Jiang Yi dimly and whispered continuous, “Young Master, Young Master, Young Master...”

“Yes, yes, I’m here.”

Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Xiaonu lovingly. This little maidservant was always so adorable. He held her up by the waist, put her on the bed, removed her shoes and socks, and tucked her in. Then he smiled and said, “Xiaonu, have a sweet dream!”

“Young Master!”

Jiang Xiaonu suddenly reached out her arms and held around Jiang Yi’s neck. She stared at him blatantly and said, “Young Master, do you like Xiaonu?”

Jiang Yi was dumbfounded, nodded, and said, “Of course, Young Master likes Xiaonu.”

Jiang Xiaonu blushed and lowered her eyes before murmuring, “Why doesn’t Young Master take Xiaonu?”

“Uh...” The link to the origin of this information rests in (f)ir(e).net

Jiang Yi’s body quivered. He looked at the pretty young lady in front of him and was enticed. However, he quickly said seriously, “Xiaonu, you’re drunk. Have some rest now.”

He freed himself of Xiaonu and placed her arms in the quilt again. He smoothed down the hair on her forehead, smiled again, and said, “Xiaonu, I’m leaving now. Goodnight.”

He stood up and was going to leave. However, when he turned back, he suddenly found tears shedding from Xiaonu’s eyes. When he was certain that she was indeed crying, he panicked. Sitting down on the bed, he asked again, “Xiaonu, why are you crying? Who is bullying you? Tell Young Master, I’ll tear him into one million pieces.”

Jiang Xiaonu closed her eyes and didn’t say anything. She just kept crying in silence. Jiang Yi was as anxious as ants on fire. He coaxed her for a while but to no avail. He suddenly shouted coldly, “Niu Wang, get in here!”

Jiang Xiaonu finally opened her eyes. She grabbed Jiang Yi, shook her head, and said, “Young Master, don’t scold him. It’s none of their business.”

Swish!

Niu Wang, who was guarding outside, rushed in as speedy as a wolf. He shouted at the doorstep, “Chief Jiang, I’m here.”

Jiang Yi took a glance at Jiang Xiaonu. She was shaking her head in tears. He said in annoyance, “Nothing, get lost.”

“Yes, Chief Jiang.”

Niu Wang scratched his head and didn’t know what he had done wrong. His face was full of fear. He quickly walked out, closed the door carefully, and continued to stand guard on the outside.

Jiang Yi then looked at Xiaonu and said, “Xiaonu, what’s wrong with you? Is it because I didn’t spend much time with you recently? Do you miss home... or is it something else? Don’t cry, please tell Young Master.”

Everyone had his weakness. This little maidservant that he grew up with and depended upon each other for survival was Jiang Yi’s weak point. Jiang Yi would willingly kill all people in the world for her. If she was wronged, Jiang Yi would wage wars even to the god. Right now, she burst out crying all of a sudden; he naturally got flustered.

Jiang Xiaonu wiped off the tears on her eyes. She looked down and kept silent for a very long time before raising her head and saying, “Nothing, Young Master, Xiaonu is okay. I just feel very sorry for the Young Master. You must suffer a lot over these months. Xiaonu is useless and can’t help Young Master with anything. Instead, I am a burden to the Young Master. Xiaonu feels that she is a good-for-nothing.”

“Silly girl!”

Jiang Yi was relieved, smiled bitterly, and said, “How can Xiaonu be a good-for-nothing? How many people can reach the Heaven Monarch Realm at your age? You have to know that the young masters and young mistresses from the Nine Thearch Clans may not be as strong as you. In addition, your Ink Feather Divine Art is so powerful; the sky’s the limit. As long as you continue to cultivate hard, you’ll definitely grow stronger. Till that time, you will not only be a help to Young Master, but you could also protect me.”

Finally, tears gave way to smiles. She widened her eyes and asked, “Really?”

Jiang Yi pinched her nose, smiled affectionately, and said, “Of course it’s true. When have I lied to you?”

“En!”

Jiang Xiaonu nodded, lied down, and peacefully fell asleep. Jiang Yi gently tucked her up and took a few looks at her before walking out.

“Silly girl...”

After Jiang Yi left, Jiang Xiaonu opened her eyes, and two streams of tears dripped down. She bit her lip and stared at the ceiling for a long time... before sighing softly. “Young Master, Xiaonu is not silly. Why can you... accept Sister Feng Luan and Qing Yu, but not me? Is Xiaonu really that awful?”

“Sigh...”

Outside the yard, Jiang Yi shut the door quietly. Looking at the bright moon, he sighed softly. He knew what was in Jiang Xiaonu’s mind, but he couldn’t take the leap. Jiang Xiaonu was always his younger sister that he grew up with. How could the younger sister turn into a lover?

Niu Wang stood on guard next to Jiang Yi. Upon seeing Jiang Yi staring blankly at the sky and keeping quiet, Niu Wang asked quietly in fear, “Chief Jiang, what’s happening? Do I do something wrong? Chief Jiang, please tell me, I’ll definitely correct them.”

“Correct your goddamn ass!”

Jiang Yi was moody right now. He glared at him angrily and shouted, “Get lost¹!”

Niu Wang’s eyes shrank, and his lips shuddered. With arms around his head, he literally started rolling on the ground.
