"Why would the young lady think I'm a man?" Zhou Hong asked, feigning surprise.
"I don't know why, I just felt the strength from your hands wasn't as gentle as a woman's, and when you touched me, I just had this illusion of a man."
"Young lady, you worry too much. I am a woman, a proper one. If you don't believe me, I can take off my clothes for you to check."
"No need, I was just saying. Alright, you may withdraw now."
"Yes. When can I give you a massage again?" Zhou Hong asked.
"We'll see."
Zhou Hong had nothing more to say and turned to leave the young lady's boudoir.
The sky had already darkened. Zhou Hong now needed to return to where the maids lived.
"Xiao Cui? Where do you maids usually live? Hurry and show me the way." Zhou Hong immediately called out to the real maid within his sub-world.
At this moment, the real maid already knew what Zhou Hong had done to the young lady. This was because while Zhou Hong was massaging and bathing the young lady, he had enabled "video" for her. This meant that within Zhou Hong's sub-world, a virtual screen appeared before the real maid, Xiao Cui, allowing her to see everything Zhou Hong saw.
Zhou Hong had let her see this so that he wouldn't slip up and could receive her reminders at any time.
"You're too much...!" Xiao Cui, in the sub-world, seemed somewhat speechless at Zhou Hong. Fortunately, the young lady didn't know Zhou Hong was a man. Otherwise, if a young lady of her age were touched and groped like this by a man, she would surely go mad.
"What?"
"Nothing, but I'm more worried about you being retaliated against now," the real Xiao Cui said.
"Retaliated by whom?" Zhou Hong asked, looking puzzled.
"There are eight maids serving your young lady's courtyard. Two of them are her personal maids. These two personal maids are very strong and often receive guidance from the young lady. They are the ones she trusts the most and are usually the ones who bathe and help her get dressed. However, just now, you overstepped your bounds and took their job. Now, when you return to the dormitory, they definitely won't let you off."
Zhou Hong chuckled. He thought it was something serious. He had seen those two personal maids glare at him fiercely as they left.
However, Zhou Hong didn't take it to heart.
"You say these two personal maids are very strong? How strong?" Zhou Hong hadn't felt they were demons earlier and was afraid of misjudging them, so he needed to clarify.
"Just very strong, that's all. After all, the young lady often guides them. They are incomparable to other maids."
"You mean, those two personal maids are both Rank One Demons, or even stronger?" Zhou Hong asked.
"How is that possible? The young lady herself is only a Rank Three Demon. How could her two personal maids be Rank One Demons? Forget about talent, even if they had talent, they wouldn't have the opportunity."
"So, they're quasi-demons. And you still say they're strong," Zhou Hong scoffed dismissively.
"Even if everyone is a quasi-demon, there are still differences in strength."
"Alright, assuming everyone is a quasi-demon, I'm not afraid of anyone," Zhou Hong didn't take it seriously at all.
Afterward, guided by the real Xiao Cui, Zhou Hong arrived at the maids' dormitory area.
When Zhou Hong returned to the dormitory, as expected, the two personal maids were staring at him fiercely.
"What do you want?" Zhou Hong asked the two personal maids impatiently.
"Xiao Cui, you've grown quite bold. What kind of bewitchment have you cast on the young lady to get her to let you bathe her today, and to bathe her alone?" One of the personal maids blocked Zhou Hong's path, looking as if she wanted to kill him. The other personal maid also blocked his way.
"Heh, what business is it of yours?" Zhou Hong said with a cold smile.
The two personal maids seemed a bit taken aback. They felt that Xiao Cui today was different from usual. She had become incredibly arrogant. The previous Xiao Cui was a shy girl, but today she was fiery and looked down on everyone.
"Good for you, Xiao Cui. You think because you bathed the young lady once, you've climbed to a higher status and the young lady will support you? Don't be deluded."
"I will be deluded, and it's none of your business. Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite." Zhou Hong's gaze turned cold.
The other five maids in the same dormitory were staring at Xiao Cui in shock.
"Beat her soundly," the two personal maids also seemed to not want to waste any more words. They immediately lunged forward, intending to teach Zhou Hong a harsh lesson so she would behave herself in the future and not try to impress the young lady.
However, before the two maids could touch Zhou Hong, their vision went black. One of the maids was kicked out the door, hit in the groin by Zhou Hong.
The other maid, also before she could react, was slapped countless times in the face, her cheeks instantly swelling up.
The other maids were dumbfounded. In their eyes, these two personal maids were very strong, especially since they received direct guidance from the young lady, who even taught them some cultivation techniques. Yet, they were no match for Xiao Cui. This was not just a slap in the face for these two maids, but in a strict sense, it was also a loss of face for the young lady, as these two personal maids, even if not her disciples, were considered semi-disciples.
"Get up. Get up again and act arrogant," Zhou Hong said with a cold smile, looking at the personal maid lying on the ground, her face swollen into a pig's head. This personal maid's face was so swollen that she couldn't speak.
The other personal maid, who had been kicked out the door, had no facial injuries. However, she had been kicked in the central region of her groin by Zhou Hong. At this moment, that area looked like a large pumpkin had been hidden there, swollen to an enormous size.
Zhou Hong walked out the door and approached the severely swollen maid.
"You? You?" the severely swollen maid said, looking at Zhou Hong in terror.
"What 'you'? Do you want to die?" Zhou Hong said coldly.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Stop."
Zhou Hong hastily looked up, a cold sweat breaking out. He hadn't realized when Hei Xiao Lu had arrived. Zhou Hong hadn't sensed her at all. But it was understandable. Zhou Hong was only a quasi-demon, while she was a Rank Three Demon.
"Greetings, young lady." Zhou Hong immediately bowed.
Seeing their mistress arrive, the two personal maids immediately ran up, crying, to pour out their grievances.
Hei Xiao Lu looked at her two bruised and swollen personal maids, her heart filled with shock. She was shocked by Xiao Cui's strength. Her two personal maids, even without her true teachings, were considered very strong. At least among all the maids in the Hei Lan Mansion, their strength was superior.
