Chapter 179: Zhuque: I Can Do It!

After leaving Liu Yunshuang’s house and returning to the Wang family estate.

Wang Haoran immediately sought out Wang Yuxiao.

Yesterday morning, Wang Yuxiao followed Wang Haoran’s original plan to release Zhuque.

Of course, releasing her was genuine, but Wang Yuxiao didn’t say anything about giving her an antidote!

During this time, Wang Yuxiao not only used her poisons but also got some odd Gu worms from Yun Ling’er.

According to Wang Haoran’s plan, once Zhuque regained her freedom, she would surely run off to reunite with Xiao Longchen.

As the two joyfully embraced during their reunion.

Suddenly, the poison would activate, and as an ordinary person, Zhuque wouldn’t have time to react before vomiting blood and dying in Xiao Longchen’s arms.

Wouldn’t this totally break Xiao Longchen?

Actually, Wang Haoran didn’t want to be this ruthless, but Zhuque was too loyal to Xiao Longchen.

With Xiao Longchen’s “Unwavering Loyalty Halo,” it was tough for Wang Haoran to turn a Seven Kill Envoy like Zhuque against him.

Despite everything he did to make Zhuque doubt Xiao Longchen, she still wouldn’t say anything against him, let alone help take him down.

Wang Haoran had thought of getting Xiao Longchen’s “Seven Kill Order.” With it, Wang Haoran couldn’t become the leader of the Seven Kill Hall, but he could at least strip Zhuque of her “Seven Kill Envoy” status, removing the “Unwavering Loyalty Halo’s” influence.

Unfortunately, his “Steal” skill was too unreliable.

Using “Steal” randomly took something from Xiao Longchen once every seven days, but all he got were socks, wallets, and the like.

Wang Haoran was speechless—did they want the richest man to become a petty thief?

Five times in a row, did he really have such bad luck?

No way! The system must be manipulating the odds!

After another failure, Wang Haoran cursed out the system.

Unable to steal the Seven Kill Order, Wang Haoran decided not to waste more effort on Zhuque.

She was just a supporting character with limited influence on Xiao Longchen, nowhere near as impactful as Lin Xiaowei. Continuing to spend luck points on her would be a loss.

But after Wang Yuxiao really let Zhuque go, Zhuque didn’t leave.

She seemed hesitant and said she wanted to talk to Wang Haoran.

Seeing her forced hesitation, Wang Yuxiao found it familiar.

So, she decided to keep Zhuque and asked Wang Haoran if he wanted to come by.

After hearing Wang Yuxiao’s report, Wang Haoran changed his mind.

At a villa not far from the Wang family estate.

Though Zhuque had been released from the underground, Wang Yuxiao wouldn’t let her stay for free.

So, Zhuque was ordered to wear a maid outfit, complete with black stockings and a lace cutout on the chest, serving tea, massaging shoulders, and legs.

Maybe because these were minor compared to previous humiliations, Zhuque accepted without much resistance.

When Wang Haoran arrived, he saw Wang Yuxiao sitting on the sofa with Zhuque kneeling beside her, holding a tray of sliced fruit.

“Come, little maid, massage my legs!”

At the command, Zhuque promptly set the tray down and gently massaged Wang Yuxiao’s calves with her small hands.

“Xiaojie, is this pressure okay?”

“Mm! Perfect!” Wang Yuxiao nodded in satisfaction, patting Zhuque’s head.

“Not bad, you’ve learned well in just two days! You’ve got potential!”

“…Xiaoxiao, you’re having fun, huh!”

Seeing Wang Yuxiao being served like a landlord by a maid, Wang Haoran chuckled and sat down.

Wang Yuxiao grabbed his hand.

“Come, hubby, let our little maid massage your legs too!”

No sooner had Wang Yuxiao spoken than Zhuque skillfully began serving Wang Haoran.

“Young Master, does this feel good?”

“…Switch legs.”

“Yes, Zhuque understands!” She quickly moved to massage Wang Haoran’s other leg.

Wang Haoran was surprised.

“Xiaoxiao, why is she suddenly so obedient?”

“Heh, that’s called skill!” Wang Yuxiao boasted, “I was modest before, but now I’ve shown my true skills, and she’s immediately compliant!”

After her boast, Wang Yuxiao turned to Zhuque.

“Little maid, didn’t you want to talk to my husband? Now’s your chance!”

Seeing both of them looking at her, Zhuque softly spoke to Wang Haoran.

“Young Master, can I stay here?”

“Stay here? You don’t want to return to your boss?”

“No!”

Since believing that her “Vermilion Bird Blood Burn Technique” cultivation was manipulated by Xiao Longchen’s “Seven Kill Adjudication Technique,” Zhuque had been troubled.

But under the influence of Xiao Longchen’s “Unwavering Loyalty Halo,” she couldn’t muster any negative thoughts.

In the end, a very conflicted Zhuque decided to lie low and live as an ordinary person.

Though being an ordinary person didn’t necessarily mean staying at the Wang family estate, she figured since she had been thoroughly “trained” by Wang Haoran, it was reasonable to let him take responsibility and feed her.

Recalling Wang Yuxiao’s words about Wang Haoran liking her and that they even argued over her, Zhuque felt delighted—

So, if I stay, I can endure humiliation first, then find a chance to turn the tables and dominate this bad yet handsome man.

“Can’t run now, can you? You naughty boy, now I can do whatever I want, touch however I want, kiss however I want!”

“Zhuque-jiejie, no!”

“Haha, too late! Still resisting? Now it’s time for your punishment! Mua~ Mua~ Mua~ Mua~”

It was because of these unrealistic desires that Wang Yuxiao noticed, so she deliberately told Zhuque that Wang Haoran didn’t want to see her and gave her three minutes to leave.

When the deadline approached, Wang Yuxiao pretended to be lenient, saying if she behaved like a good maid, she would let her stay.

Losing her cool due to her fantasies and the ticking clock, Zhuque quickly fell into the trap.

Now, she was quickly adjusting to her maid role, kneeling expectantly at Wang Haoran.

But Wang Haoran shook his head.

“No, Xiao Longchen’s mental influence is too strong. I can’t keep you here!”

“Then use that on me again, please?”

Zhuque pointed to her lips.

Wang Haoran understood; she meant the “Ability Block” kiss from the Jia family banquet, where he temporarily nullified Xiao Longchen’s “Unwavering Loyalty Halo.”

At that time, he tricked her into thinking he used a special technique to temporarily remove Xiao Longchen’s mental influence.

As for why he kissed her, it was just to take advantage.

But now, Wang Haoran couldn’t waste 100 luck points using “Ability Block” on Zhuque.

So, he refused.

“No, that method works only once.”

“Then I’ll stay inside forever!”

Zhuque quickly offered.

“Still no! What if Xiao Longchen comes looking for you?”

“It doesn’t matter! I won’t respond!”

“Really? You’re that confident? His mental influence is very strong!”

Seeing Wang Haoran’s doubtful look, Zhuque hurriedly assured.

“Really! Believe me, I can do it!”
