Chapter 425: 418 Poaching my employees?

Sunrise, early morning.

When Shane awoke from the familiar bed, just as he had for the past few days, the beautiful and pretty maid was already gone.

Shane felt a bit melancholic.

"No more adorable maids to wake me up, help me change clothes and brush my teeth, and even take care of that morning business for men."

Melancholic, truly melancholic.

When he had them, he felt restless; only after losing them did he realize that he had failed to appreciate them in the past. How could others understand that emptiness in his heart?

Luckily, having lost an all-capable maid, the heavens had blessed Shane with a cute little loli.

"Huff... huff..."

In Shane’s embrace, Lilith had somehow wriggled under the covers at some point, comfortably asleep and sucking on her thumb, which was indescribably cute.

Looking at the super cute loli in his arms, Shane felt the emptiness in his heart dissipate a lot.

"At least it’s not like in my past life when all I had to hug when I woke up was a pillow."

As Shane thought this, he suddenly paused.

Wait...

"So in my past life, all I had was a pillow?"

Due to reincarnation, the memories related to his past life experiences were all gone, leaving only knowledge and technical common sense that wouldn’t affect this world. Thus, Shane shouldn’t have known about his past life circumstances.

This time, he might have unconsciously muttered something that he had experienced but had no recollection of.

Still, that didn’t seem like something to be happy about.

"...Is this hinting that I was a damned single dog in my past life?"

No wonder he had always felt something, as if his ancestral skills were too practiced.

Could it be that in his past life, he really only had his hands for company?

"Cried..."

Shane missed Luoqi a bit.

"At least, in this life, I’m the envied winner of life by everyone, with even the number one beauty of the Human Race as my wife."

Shane consoled himself and got out of bed.

"Um..."

Lilith seemed to wake up a bit, lifted her head slightly with sleepy eyes, unable to even open them fully.

"Be good, keep sleeping."

Shane stroked Lilith’s head, gently coaxing her like he was soothing his own daughter.

And without a doubt, it worked effectively.

Lilith seemed to feel assured and went back to sleep comfortably.

Only then did Shane tuck Lilith in properly and left his room.

...

Ever since Shane’s return, life seemed to have been restored to the Beizut household.

Previously, when Shane wasn’t around, the members of Vivian’s Team went on missions at the adventurer’s guild whenever they could. With Lasha gone as well, the place felt somewhat desolate.

Now, with Shane back and having brought Lasha with him, the Beizut family instantly regained its usual liveliness.

Stepping out of the room, Shane noticed the corridor and walls were incredibly clean, as if everything was sparkling, almost magical.

"...Another one of Lasha’s good deeds, I guess?"

Shane instantly perceived the truth.

In his mind, only Lasha could clean the house to such an extent that everything sparkled like brand-new tiles, giving people a feeling like they dared not dirty them.

"It seemed normal when I returned yesterday..."

It was only when Lasha was around that everything at home seemed like an unfathomable paradise.

"It seems that girl, although no longer serving me, is still doing the house chores."

Given Lasha’s character, she was probably taking it as her way of repaying for lodging, right?

Shane looked through the corridor window to the outside.

Sure enough, the outside garden was filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the vegetation and flower beds artistically pruned into various beautiful shapes, a sight to behold.

"Huh?"

As Shane admired the morning beauty, he suddenly felt surprised.

Because he saw someone who shouldn’t be there.

"Is that Jiasinta?"

Shane wasn’t quite sure.

The person he saw was one of the four chief lieutenants under Ai Yi, known as the Violent Dragon, Jiasinta.

"What’s he doing?"

Shane’s expression turned somewhat strange.

As he observed, Jiasinta was prostrated in front of You Lin in the garden, incessantly saying something.

Right then, Shane narrowed his eyes and silently activated the "Concealment" skill, heading towards the garden.

Behind him, Nadura yawned and followed Shane out of the mansion, unnoticed.

...

Beizut family, garden.

Just as Shane had seen, at this very moment, Jiasinta was incessantly talking to You Lin, who was lying in front of him.

"Believe me, I’m definitely not deceiving you."

Shane had just approached when he immediately heard Jiasinta’s enthusiastically persuasive words, which made the corners of his mouth twitch.

Unaware of Shane’s presence, Jiasinta continued his pitch.

"Among the Demon Clan, we of the Dragon Race are also a very special existence. Only after being guided by the Dragon Demon Lord and embarking on the path of Human Transformation can we undergo a true metamorphosis, becoming even more powerful."

"Look at me, just like you, I was only a dragon in the past. Back then, I had neither skills nor Unique Skills, and I could only rely on my Dragon Breath and powerful body to fight. Despite being of a high level, I could trample over ants on the ground, but when facing a true strong opponent, often, we mighty dragons are nothing more than their prey."

"Considering the heroes throughout history, most of them have personally slain dragons to make a name for themselves."

"You are strong now, but that’s only because you haven’t met a true powerful enemy. Otherwise, you would only become a stepping stone for others to gain fame and accomplishments."

"Human Transformation! Only Human Transformation is the ultimate Transcendence for our Dragon Race!"

"Your level is even higher than mine. Once you undergo Human Transformation and awaken your Unique Skill, you will become the strongest existence in the Demon Clan aside from the six Demon Lords!"

"Come back to the Demon Realm with me. That is the future you should choose!"

Jiasinta went on persistently persuading like this, getting so worked up that his gestures became exaggerated and his voice was filled with high spirits.

Jesse and Lis stood by Jiasinta’s side. Hearing his impassioned speech, they couldn’t help but be moved, subtly wiping their eyes.

At that moment, Shane exploded.

Well done, Jiasinta!

"I thought you were up to something, but you’re actually poaching from under my wall?"

With Shane’s extremely displeased voice, the three people including Jiasinta were startled.

"It’s you?"

Only then did Jiasinta notice Shane, with an embarrassed expression appearing on his face.

"Hmph."

"Hmph."

Jesse and Lis still showed disdain for Shane, both letting out a cold snort uncontrollably.

"Roar!"

You Lin, who had been looking impatient lying there, suddenly perked up, lifting her head and making a plaintive noise at Shane.

That expression was just like saying "Master, look, he’s hitting on me."

"It’s okay now," Shane said as he pet the head that You Lin reached over, while giving Jiasinta a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "It’s not very ethical to dig at someone’s wall from behind, is it, Lord Jiasinta?"

"Cough, don’t put it that way." Jiasinta coughed to cover his embarrassment, but quickly regained his composure, chuckling, "As fellow members of the Dragon Race, I’m just offering a little advice to a rare junior. Please don’t misunderstand."

Wow, that thick skin, worthy of a politician, you almost had me convinced.

"Why are you here?"

Shane asked unenthusiastically.

"Naturally, I’ve come to see my master," Jiasinta shrugged, "We heard that the master had left the Royal Capital for a few days, whereabouts unknown. We were extremely worried, especially after hearing that Cosmos in Duke Sterling’s Domain was destroyed. At one point, we almost thought it was the master’s handiwork."

...Just how little trust do you have in your own master?

"Fortunately, it seems unrelated to my master, even though there was information that my master had been there. But since the Divine Race has come out to clarify, my master’s suspicion has also been cleared."

Jiasinta’s relieved tone prompted Shane to glance around.

Hmm, Ai Yi isn’t here, that kid’s life is spared.

I wonder if Ai Yi would be upset to know that her own subordinates always treat her as a troublemaker and a destroyer.

But there was Nadura, nodding repeatedly behind Shane.

"That’s right, this is the Dragon Demon."

To Nadura, this was the correct attitude and posture towards Ai Yi.

In front of Shane and others, Ai Yi was a completely different person.

Especially in the past, the ferocity of the Dragon Demon was almost notorious. It was only natural for her subordinates to worry about her causing trouble outside.

No, as soon as they heard Ai Yi had returned, Jiasinta immediately brought his two followers over.

However, Jiasinta also knew that at this time, Ai Yi was most likely still sleeping, so he didn’t go to disturb her. With nothing to do, he discovered You Lin and was immediately moved by her potential, beginning to poach from under Shane’s wall.

"By the way, I haven’t congratulated you yet, Lord Shane." It seemed as if Jiasinta had suddenly remembered something, sighing, "Who would have thought that the little adventurer I saw in the Audience Hall would become the first priority suitor for Princess Luoqi, who really favors you."

"What about it?" Shane raised an eyebrow, "Lord Jiasinta, do you also want to compete with me?"

As soon as Shane said this, before Jiasinta could reply, his attendants spoke up.

"Our master would never be interested in humans."

"That’s right, let alone a candidate to wield the Holy Sword. Dreaming that mere looks could captivate our master."

Jesse and Lis spoke dismissively.

Jiasinta did not deny his followers’ words.

However...

"Compared to Princess Luoqi, I’m more interested in your mount, You Lin," said Jiasinta with a sly grin. "How about it, Lord Shane, give me a chance to pursue your mount?"

Shane almost stumbled.

"Roar!"

You Lin also roared angrily, her voice just as disdainful as Jesse and Lis’s, as if saying, "You think you can pursue me?"

But Jiasinta seemed to not hear it at all, instead, he was thrilled.

Shane started to feel unnerved.

This guy, he wouldn’t actually pursue my You Lin, would he?

Goodness gracious! There’s a pervert here!
