“I…” The maid clenched her lips as those eyes flushed a pink-red.

  “Go down, you don’t need to come back afterward.” Chu Ran orders, his patience wearing thin.

  The maid was very reluctant to leave but did not dare to say more. Giving a bow, she headed for the exit to only be stopped by what she heard next.

  “Remember, you don’t need to come to the Holy Land anymore.”


  The maid’s body froze as she turned her head stiffly over the clarification, “Lord, why are you evicting me from the Holy Land?”


  It took her so much to get into this great power. Even if it’s only as a maid to serve tea and water, but her family was still proud of her!

  If she were to be evicted, what would happen to herself? How would her clan treat her? Only she knows that better than anyone….

  “A person who can’t tell the situation is not needed in my service. You can leave now, I don’t want to see you again.”


  The maid no longer said more and fled away, but not before giving a fleeting glance at Bai Yan. There’s a strong level of hatred and resentment.

  “Lord, I’m back.” Bai Yan doesn’t give this any attention since this didn’t occur to the demon queen as something important. To her, this was the maids own inability to retain her post.

  Chu Ran formed a big genuine smile at the woman’s return. He’s showing regret, appreciation, and pride….

  Proud for being able to take in such a talented person, regret that he couldn’t have such a genius as his daughter-in-law.

  It’s a real shame. Such a good girl and my son can’t win her heart despite all those years of effort.

  “How long are you going to be back this time? Also, I quit drinking.”


  This girl most hated it when he drinks with his daughter. As a result, he would often have Chu Yi Yi be the scapegoat. But this time, he’s honestly abstained from alcohol.

  “I’m just coming back to see you guys, then I’m leaving right after.” Bai Yan explains by shaking her head.

  She doesn’t have too much contact with Chu Ran, but Bai Yan does know he loves her very much like family. If at first he accepted her for the gift she held, what came afterward were genuine emotions. Otherwise, who could put up with Bai Xiachen’s antics of causing trouble everywhere he went with Chu Yi Yi in the younger years?

  “Is that so.” Sighed the man, “I’m just glad you thought of us. Do bring these little ones often if possible. Yi Yi is getting wilder as she ages and I can no longer control her. She doesn’t like to accompany me so I’ve been getting more bored lately. It would be nice to play with the kids if possible….”


  “Grandpa Chu Ran, you don’t have to worry, I will definitely bring my brother and sister here to see you often.” The steambun spoke up with the sincerest voice.

  Bellowing out a pleased laugh: “I really envy your grandfathers. Of the three great powers, only I lack a third generational heir. Yi Feng, that boy loves you so much that I fear he won’t ever marry in this life. As for Yi Yi, she’s so wild and crazy at times, who would dare touch her. If this continues then I might need to make alternative plans.”


  “Oh right,” Bai Yan recalls one of the reasons she’s here to meet him, “Yi Yi wanted me to tell you that she’s leaving the Holy Land for the Celestial Realm. She is afraid of you stopping her so she asked me to tell you instead.”
