Someone was here.
Luo Ruying warmed Ning Yechen’s hands and carried Luo Hongye to the door to open it.
Outside the door stood two men and one woman.
One of the men was burly, manly, and handsome, with a charmingly naive smile.
The other man had long white hair, looking very refined and good-looking.
The woman had a slender waist that resembled a snake’s and a slender figure. She was outstandingly beautiful.
Standing at the door in simple clothes, the three of them bowed with a smile and greeted Luo Ruying, “Greetings, Madam.”
They were Chaos Demonic Bull, Sky-Swallowing Python, and Titan Giant Ape from the Monster Domain Forest.
Previously, they did not fully transform and used their half-monster forms.
Now, it was the first time they took on complete human forms.
“M-Madam?” Luo Ruying looked at the three of them in surprise.
She did not remember seeing these three people before. She did not understand why they addressed her as madam.
Just as Luo Ruying was about to ask them if they had mistaken her for someone else, Ning Yechen walked over from behind and smiled. “You're here.”
Seeing Ning Yechen, Chaos Demonic Bull and the other two hurriedly bowed and greeted, “Greetings, Young Master.”
“Young Master? Do you know them?” Luo Ruying turned and asked quizzically.
Ning Yechen nodded. “Dear, they used to be my family’s servants. Since we plan on living here for now, I summoned them over. They can help us with the household chores. From now on, if there are any chores, just leave it to them.”
The three of them were here at Ning Yechen’s arrangement.
It just so happened that Ning Yechen had created a bogus background recently. Using his family as an excuse, he could make arrangements for Chaos Demonic Bull and the other two to stay in the mansion, serve as guards, and handle the housework.
This way, his wife would have more time for herself.
Luo Ruying did not feel that they needed servants. She could take care of the housework on her own.
But hearing that they used to work for Ning Yechen's family, she thought about it and decided to let them stay.
In any case, there was plenty of room in the mansion, and it would be a waste to leave them unoccupied.
“Come in, everyone.” Luo Ruying smiled and stepped aside to let them through.
Luo Hongye, lying in Luo Ruying's arms, was as shy as usual. She timidly looked at the three of them.
“Hello, Miss.” Sky-Swallowing Python bowed and greeted Luo Hongye enthusiastically.
She was the princess they would serve in the future!
They could not make any mistakes when it came to her!
They had to build a strong relationship with her!
“Hi…”
Even though Luo Hongye was shy, she was very polite towards friendly people and greeted them shyly.
Her greeting struck them straight in the heart.
It was the first time they were seeing Ning Yechen's daughter. In the past, they did not dare to look at her.
She was genuinely well brought up and polite!
_Is she really the Demon Lord's daughter?_they wondered.
Whenever they thought about Ning Yechen, the three of them couldn’t help trembling.
But Luo Hongye was young and cute. Her shy appearance triggered their protective instincts and made them want to hug her!
She was worlds apart from the Demon Lord!
Naturally, they only dared to think about it. If the Demon Lord found out, they would land themselves in deep trouble!
After entering the compound, Luo Ruying showed Sky-Swallowing Python and the other two to three rooms located close to each other.
“From now on, these will be your rooms.”
“Yes, Madam.” Sky-Swallowing Python and the other two bowed respectfully.
Even though they had never been servants, after hearing that Ning Yechen wanted them to pretend to be servants, they had pulled several overnighters reading up on how to be servants!
In order to pull this off, they had even secretly observed how servants from big families worked.
They tried to cover all ground and act professionally.
“Oh yes. How do I address you?” Luo Ruying asked with a smile after arranging the rooms.
Even when she was an Empress in the Heavenly Realm, she had asked the names of the maids around her.
She was never strict with servants. Even if they made mistakes, she would forgive them and never make things difficult for them.
She treated every servant with respect.
Sky-Swallowing Python and the other two were stunned when she asked for their names.
Oh no!
They did not think about their names before coming!
They had hidden in the Monster Domain Forest, cultivating for centuries, and it had never occurred to them to get themselves names!
Seeing their fluster and delayed reactions, Luo Ruying felt puzzled. Isn’t it just their names? Why do they have to think for so long?
They had triggered Luo Ruying’s suspicion. They hurriedly made up some names anxiously.
“M-ny name is Meng Niu!”
“I'm Bai Yuan…”
“I’m Qiang Se…”
“Huh? Meng Niu, Bai Yuan, and Qiang Se?” Luo Ruying frowned. Their names sounded strange.
Sky-Swallowing Python quietly gulped with his heart in his throat.
If they screwed up, the Demon Lord would probably skin them alive.
Fortunately, Ning Yechen stepped forward and explained just in time. “Their names are Meng Niu, Bai Yuan, and Qiang Se.”
“I see.” Luo Ruying nodded and stopped suspecting.
Their accents were different, causing her to think that she had misheard and their names were strange.
The three of them heaved a sigh of relief.
From now on, they would have new names.
The Demon Lord had personally given them names, no less.
Ning Yechen glanced at the three of them, making them instantly break out in a cold sweat and tremble.
Oh no. The Demon Lord seemed angry!
Seeing them tremble, Luo Ruying asked in concern, “What’s the matter? Are you okay?”
“It's nothing, Madam.”
“We were just… It's the weather. It’s a little cold.”
“You should have said so. Let me get you some clothes.” Luo Ruying smiled. She placed Luo Hongye in Ning Yechen’s arms and left to get some clothes.
Qiang Se and the other two were very touched.
The Demon Lord's wife was so kind.
Only the Demon Lord was scary.
“Daddy, are they going to live here?” Luo Hongye asked softly in Ning Yechen’s arms.
“Uh-huh. They’re here to play with you. Don’t be afraid. If they bully you, you can tell me,” Ning Yechen said gently to Luo Hongye.
As he finished speaking, he looked up coldly at the three.
His intentions were clear.
If the three of them made his daughter unhappy, he would personally take them out.
The three of them were so scared that their legs went limp and they sat on the ground shivering.
When Luo Ruying came back with the clothes and saw them trembling harder, she felt even more puzzled.
It was snowing, but it was not that cold.
