I Got Maids in ATG c6

“Phew…” Xiao Tianlong sighed as he opened his eyes. Another session in a calming bath made him experience Enlightenment.

This was the second time the focus was on Profound Energy control and circulation.

It helped him immensely, and on top of that, the realm has stabilised.

As he got up from the bath, he immediately dried himself, pulled out the New Moon Profound Palace’s uniform, and dressed himself in it.

The bathtub needed to be emptied, so he used his profound energy to lift it up and spill the contents into the draining hole. 

Once done with his morning rituals, he left the bathroom and walked to see where his maid should be.

…

…

…

“Young Master…” Ye Hongling immediately stood up when she saw her Young Master stroll in. She looked nervous.

“Relax, I realised that I was hasty. I should have improved my physique before I made you take on your duties.” He patted her head with a small smile.

The girl immediately calmed down hearing that.

“T-Then…”

“Yes, you passed. Now come. I need you to reach [Nascent Profound] as soon as possible, from where you can accelerate your cultivation.” He grabbed her hand and effortlessly picked her up.

Ye Hongling blushed as she realised how easily he could manhandle her.

He took her back to his room.

“First, we will fix your Profound Entrances and purify the veins.”

“What?”

“Your profound entrances limit your cultivation talent, so I will open all of them to give you cultivation without bottlenecks.”

Her eyes widened to a massive degree as she heard of this in books! 

“T-Thats…” She didn’t finish her sentence as she saw the smirk.

“Indeed “

He took her to the bathroom. 

“Now, prepare water while I prepare herbs for you.” He issued orders to her as he began to pull off the herbs from his resource realm.

“O-Okay.”

After a couple of minutes, the girl submerged in the bathtub, and Xiao Tianlong left her to go to her session.

In the meantime, his senses picked up newcomers outside the grounds.

~~~

“I do sense someone was here. But I doubt a Throne would stay in such a place.” An Elder from Xiao Sect looked down on New Moon Profound Palace from his high vantage point in the sky.

An Elder was sent from the main sect to figure out what was going on.

His senses are telling him that there was someone here before, but now…

“Why not?” 

A young voice said from a higher vantage point.

The confused elder looked up.

His eyes bulged as he sensed a tyrannical force flowing around this youth, this individual's cultivation realm…

“...A-A-A Overlord!?” 

“Oh, so you know of this Realm?” He flowed down to his level.

“...Y-Yes… This one's name is Xiao Yemeng. I am an Elder of the Xiao Sect!” The old man cupped his fist while introducing himself. He was terrified! His whole body barely controlled himself not to shake from fear.

“Well, Xiao Yemeng, I am Xiao Tianlong, and I am part of New Moon Profound Palace.” 

“B-But why? Such a talent like you should join a better Sect! T-Thousand pardons If I speak out of my bounds.” The old man was both terrified and confused by all of this. 

“Sects are for resources. That much is certain, but I reached this point without anyone’s help. Why would I bother now?” Xiao Tianlong shrugged at the old man.

“...”

What he said made sense; however, it was absurd in the elder’s eyes. How did he do that!? What is his secret?

“Even so… how?”

“I trained quite a bit.” He said plainly to the elder.

“...”

Not that the old man believed in any of that.

“Regardless, you know that I am here… for a while before I decide to move on. So leave.” Xiao Tianlong motioned for the old man to scram.

Without a second thought, the elder turned around and flew away.

The Tyrant looked at the leaving form of the elder. 

‘So it has begun. It was only a matter of time until the worms showed themselves when sugar was around.’

For a second, he sighed. Now, he needs to be more aware of his surroundings, as ass-kissing will begin soon. 

After sending the elder of Xiao Sect away, he looked around and sensed that there were more people outside the New Moon Profound Palace.

Time to deal with them.

~~~

“...Eww…” Ye Hongling grimaced as the first thing she saw was black…smelly water!

She quickly got out.

The girl quickly noticed that she was lighter and more nimble! Her gaze promptly went to her hands as she sensed how quickly her Profound energy responded!

It was far quicker than before.

‘This is amazing!’

A quick check later, she noticed she was close to [Nascent Profound]! 

“Amazing, isn’t it?”

Her Master’s voice brought her out of her awe.

“...Yes…” She mumbled in a dumbfounded voice. 

“Good. Now clean the bathtub and fill it with fresh water, as I will prepare another session for you.” He began to pull out more herbs.

“A-Again? I think one is enough…” Ye Hongling, while happy, she doesn’t want him to use his resources on her like that!

“Oh, please, don’t tell me how to use my wealth. What you should be concerned about is how well you can serve your Master. That is the only thing you should bother with.”

Her blush returned as she realised that she was naked and her Master would look at her from time to time. It only made her self-conscious. 

“I-I understand. I apologise for stepping out of my bounds.” 

“It’s fine. You are new to this and are still figuring things out. For now, relax and just do what I tell you.”

She swiftly nodded to his orders and began to do as she was told.

Once everything was prepared, she went back to the bathtub, and once again, Xiao Tianlong was left to his devices. He didn’t waste time, going to play with his pill creation.

There were so many herbs, fruits and plants available to mix and match and create something unique.

He already had an idea of how to make a pill-like sweet that would allow him to constantly consume it without worry that the pill’s effects would wear out.

The key is refining the essence until it becomes pure energy and then giving it the form of something sweet.

With a baseline idea in mind, he went to find a room where he could refine it.

He was thinking of entering his resource realm, but that would cause a misunderstanding, as he would leave this place, and he didn’t want to leave his cute maid behind. That is why he will create pills in one of the spare rooms in the Royal Palace.

Xiao Tianlong pulled out herbs, fruits, plants, and, lastly, the alchemist cauldron and began to experiment.

~~~

Ye Hongling opened her eyes as she sensed how her Profound Energy was humming under her fingertips. She finally did it!

Elders told her that she would reach [Nascent Profound] in her early twenties, but now she has achieved it in a day!

“Phew… this was intense…” She mumbled under her breath as she looked at the water. Only small bits of black dirt are floating at the top of the water this time.

The girl swiftly stood up and used her Profound Energy to clean herself, and then the wooden bathtub her Master had brought with him.

It was simple, but it did its job. The girl quickly cleaned it up before dressing in her New Moon Profound Palace uniform.

Once she had finished with the clothes, she glided out of the bathroom and went to look for her Master. She was over the moon with her speed of cultivation!

She was right to step out yesterday! Now, she will reach heights she could only daydream about.

After looking for a while, she ended up in front of a room that was smelling… unique!

Slowly, she opened the doors and poked her head inside.

What she saw inside was Xiao Tianlong floating in the air as flames surrounded him. Herbs, fruits, and plants surrounded by flames entered the floating cauldron. Moments later, a pill came out.

The process like that continued for a while.

All she could do was simply gaze at this with wonderment.

“Come over.” 

Ye Hongling turned stiff as she heard his voice. The girl walked over as she wondered if he is going to say something bad about her watching like that. 

But instead, he showed a bowl of colourful pills.

“Check it out.”

“...I can sense that they are potent…” The maid didn’t know what to say but commented on the power it was radiating.

His expression to that was a deadpan.

“Not that. I made sure that even Monarch would get a boost. What is important is the taste and how it looks! I used special herbs for the glassy look, for smell, I had several distinctive wood bark, and for a selection of colourful fruits for taste and colour.” He proudly said to her what he did.

“...Wait… Master… is this supposed to be food?” She looked at this with disbelief.

“But of course! Simply eating delicious food without any positives is… stale? So that is why I decided to ensure you get refined Profound Energy after consuming it.” He explained to her, offering her one of the ‘candies’.

“Go on, take one, taste it.” He motioned for her to take one. 

Ye Hongling slowly took one. She was a little bit spooked, as this one pill had more energy than her whole body.

She then looked at him, who motioned to consume it.

With a stiff nod, she brought it to her mouth and took a bite. Her eyes immediately grew big as she tasted a whirlwind of tastes!

“W-Wow…” she mumbled under her breath. After a bit, she swallowed the sweet, and moments later, this refined energy slipped into her Profound Veins.

The girl swiftly dropped into a Lotus sitting position and began to rotate her Profound Energy, circulating it.

Moments later, she experienced a Breakthrough, but it was not over, as more energy in her system needed to be integrated.

She did it again, and there was another breakthrough…

‘There is more?’ 

The girl was in disbelief as she continued to add it. 

Eventually, it stopped midway to [Nascent Profound Four].

This was insane to the maid as she just experienced two breakthroughs from eating something simple looking.

Not only that, but she didn’t need to refine it; it was already refined; all she needed to do was circulate her energy.

“T-This is amazing…” She softly commented as she got up from the ground.

“And the taste?” He asked cautiously.

“Oh, that… it was unique.” 

He rolled his eyes when he saw she was more impressed by the Profound Energy than the taste!

“B-But it was good!” She quickly improved her comment after seeing his reaction.

“Good enough.” He handed her a handful of…sweets before placing the rest…somewhere.

“Let’s go. I want to taste some deserts.” He motioned her to follow him, but Ye Hongling looked at the small pills in her hand. This was quite a bit of them!

“W-Wait, I need to put them somewhere. They are precious!” The maid looked nervious while holding them.

“Then give them to me. If you are that skittish, I will give them back after we return.” He sighed at her; it seemed she needed a storage ring.

“O-Okay…”

“We will go shopping after this to get you a storage ring.” 

Her ears perked up when she heard that.

“I do need you to carry your stuff somewhere. While Monarch Realm is a little bit distance away, for now, you will need a storage ring.” He commented with crossed arms as he motioned her to follow him.

Ye Hongling’s forehead had a few drops of sweat. She was… baffled a bit when she heard his comments. This was the first time in her life that she heard someone mention the fabled realm as if it was a pit stop mid-journey
