Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Thinking of this, Xia Liu felt a wave of sympathy for Murong Yan.

This girl must also be someone with a bitter fate.

Just now Xiaowu revealed a bit to him.

Her eldest sister bullies her constantly at home.

The most apparent sign is that there's not a single servant in this big courtyard, all thanks to her eldest sister's doing.

When Murong Yan was younger, her cultivation wasn't enough to be noteworthy, so bullying her was all too common.

Moreover, in front of family members, Murong Yan behaved very timidly.

This also gave her eldest sister the opportunity to exploit her.

Luckily, Murong Yan still has Xiaowu.

Otherwise, she would really be lonely and cold.

While Xia Liu was lamenting this, Xiaowu came over with a plate of water and a cloth.

Seeing the thick and massive gateway, Xia Liu's cheeks twitched.

Alright then, really being treated like a beast of burden.

The dignified Heavenly Mansion Chief, Supreme Elder of the Osmanthus Sect, Red Dragon Shadow of the Assassins Realm, the Middle East...

Forget it, Xia Liu picked up the plate and headed towards the main gate.

To be able to enter Kunwu, he endured it.

However, he would remember everything from today, and when he succeeds, Murong Yan won't escape punishment!

Halfway through cleaning the main gate, Xiaowu brought over a basket.

Inside were some meals.

Xia Liu glanced at Murong Yan leisurely lying on the deck chair.

Seeing she had no reaction, Xia Liu took the basket and began eating cautiously on the doorstep.

"Liu Xia, you did well, keep up the good work next time too."

Xiaowu winked at Xia Liu, then dashed over to Murong Yan's side.

"This guy's quite efficient at work. Later, find him a set of clothes. Since he's my Murong Yan's person now, he can't look too shabby."

Murong Yan seemed somewhat satisfied with Xia Liu's performance.

Bringing him back this time was indeed the right choice.

No more worries about cleanliness in the future.

Xia Liu felt bitter inside, but he endured. One day, he would make Murong Yan regret her actions today and in the future.

Commanding him would come with consequences!

"By the way, what's this guy's name?"

Murong Yan suddenly realized she hadn't learned the boy's name.

"His name is Liu Xia."

"Heh, Liu Xia, well indeed we should keep him then!"

Murong Yan sneered, showing an inexplicable eeriness.

Sitting at the threshold, Xia Liu felt furious. He's been commanded for over half an hour, and the girl didn't even know his name.

It's downright insulting!

Before Xia Liu finished eating, Murong Yan started urging him.

She found that after half the gate was cleaned, her mood was somewhat uplifted.

So she wanted to experience if complete cleaning would feel even more refreshing.

Xia Liu dared not say anything in rebuttal, quickly took a few bites, and then continued the remaining work.

Just before nightfall, Xia Liu finally finished cleaning the gate.

At this moment, compared to before, the gate was entirely different.

The gloss emerged.

In contrast to the surrounding pillars, it obviously looked grand and new.

Murong Yan left early.

She didn't want to praise Xia Liu too much.

She aimed to establish a stern and aloof demeanor in front of Xia Liu.

After nightfall, Xia Liu was taken by Xiaowu to a small room.

Wrong!

This gosh-darn place was the firewood storage room.

Firewood storage!

...

Ellipsis swirled above Xia Liu's head.

What could he say?

Treating someone like this just shouldn't happen.

Even if he had no merits, he toiled arduously.

After a whole day of cleaning the gate, this was the treatment he got, oh heavens...

"Here, these are the clothes the third miss gave you. Also, try not to scorn this place."

"Alright."

Xia Liu replied expressionlessly.

"Don't be like this; the third miss said that everyone must start from the bottom to gain more understanding in the future once they succeed. When you perform well, the third miss will arrange a suitable room for you. Think of this as temporary."

Xiaowu conveyed Murong Yan's intentions to Xia Liu.

She actually felt quite sorry for Xia Liu.

This guy would surely replace her to finish all those chores.

But to be tortured like this was truly pitiful.

Plus, he had such a handsome face and figure.

What a pity for such a dashing young man...

After sending Xiaowu away, Xia Liu, using the moonlight, laid down on the floor in the firewood room.

He certainly couldn't sleep, but he didn't wander freely outside.

Because he was on the territory of the Murong Family.

Before understanding the nature of the Murong Family, he couldn't make any improper moves.

Otherwise, the consequences would be hard to predict.

By early next morning, Xia Liu opened his eyes and saw two girls standing gracefully outside the door.

Xiaowu held a bucket of water in her hand.

Neither of them carried a cloth.

If Xia Liu guessed right, this bucket of water could be intended for pouring on him!

What the heck!

Xia Liu quickly got up.

Without being able to use his abilities, he didn't want to wear thoroughly soaked clothes.

When he pushed the door open and went out, Murong Yan was stunned.

The prepared serious speech seemed about to be scrapped.

"You're up early, get ready and start working!"

Glancing at the forceful Murong Yan, Xia Liu said nothing.

"The third miss is talking to you, answer quickly."

Seeing Xia Liu silent, Xiaowu scolded sharply.

"Alright, I heard you."

"So arrogant, if you don't tidy up two rooms by noon, don't think about having lunch."

Dropping those words, Murong Yan turned and left.

Being so stern was uncomfortable for her, so she retreated before being found out.

"Third Miss, just kill me!"

Two rooms—if they were like the firewood storage, no problem.

But if they were as big as regular bedrooms, Xia Liu really would work until his hands cramped with no end in sight.

"Liu Xia, work hard. The third miss just wants to scare you. Having lived in the mundane world so long, you surely understand social niceties."

"I understand, thank you for the reminder, Xiaowu."

How could Xia Liu not know, Murong Yan was full of flaws.

He just wasn't exposing them.

Anyway, being in the Murong Family's domain, once familiarized, he would find the entrance to Kunwu.

This matter isn't urgent, he's only been at the Murong Family for a day.

There's still plenty of time for exploration and discovery.

By midday, Xia Liu smoothly completed the task.

Seeing Xia Liu so efficient, in the afternoon Murong Yan assigned him more work.

This time, Xia Liu didn't finish until midnight.

After washing away the grime in a simple place, Xia Liu returned to the firewood room to rest.

On the second day, Murong Yan and Xiaowu came with water again.

Unfortunately, Xia Liu wouldn't give her the chance to pour it on him.

Today, as yesterday, Xia Liu worked late into the night.

However, this time there was a difference: during work, Murong Yan came to inspect.

Then, in a commanding tone, she asked Xia Liu to tell her about worldly matters.

Even though he was very reluctant, under pressure, Xia Liu shared quite a bit.

This is no difficulty for Xia Liu, with his vast experience, he could easily concoct stories to keep this naive girl spinning in circles...
