Heaven Slaying Blade

This vow, it's heavy!

Even the most wicked people would not easily joke about their own family. Therefore, this vow made by Rouge is even heavier than swearing on her own life.

Chu Mo reached out his hand, helping the girl up: "Your name is Rouge?"

"Yes, I was adopted by the queen at a very young age, given the name Rouge, and raised outside. I learned various... various harmful techniques, as well as martial arts." Rouge said, her head bowed, speaking softly: "It wasn't until a few days ago that the queen called me to the mansion. On the surface, I am just an ordinary maid, but in reality, I am here to deal with you, young master."

"I see." Chu Mo nodded: "Since you've already made your choice, don't use the name Rouge anymore, it sounds like a servant's name, with no family name attached. Would you mind... taking Chu as your surname?"

Rouge paused for a moment, and then her eyes instantly reddened. She was about to kneel again in front of Chu Mo.

Chu Mo stopped her with a serious expression: "Remember, from today onwards, you are not anyone's servant. Don't kneel to anyone arbitrarily, do you understand?"

Tears welled up in Rouge's eyes and instantly fell, yet she revealed a brilliantly captivating smile that was as breathtaking as a flower blooming in an instant.

"Rouge is a girl. My family never thought of giving me a name. In their eyes, Rouge would eventually belong to someone else. Now that my family is no longer here, not only did you take me in, young master, but you also gave me a surname. I don't mind, how could I possibly mind? Thank you, young master! Thank you!"

Chu Mo did not expect that his unintentional action would cause such a huge reaction from this stunning girl.

After a moment of thought, he said: "From now on, you shall be named Chu Yan."

"Yes!" The girl's eyes sparkled brightly as she murmured: "Chu Yan...sounds so nice, I finally have my own name!"

At the same time, Chu Yan, who had just received her name, was very aware of the value of this name!

Chu Mo does not allow her to act submissively like a servant, nor allows her to kneel to others at will... But in this world, where hierarchy is strictly respected, servants are servants! If a master asks you to kneel, would you dare refuse?

So it's clear that Chu Mo did not treat her like a servant. Now, he has given her things to do, and even given her his family name... To a certain extent, this is equivalent to considering her as his sister!

At the very least, from now on, everyone in the Fan Residence, including the kings and nobles in Yanhuang City, could not regard Chu Yan as a mere maid when they see her.

As for her age, she might be slightly older than Chu Mo, but that's not important.

What Chu Mo gave her... was more than just a new life.

To Chu Yan, today was indeed the most brilliant day in her decade-long life!

This New Year's Eve was also Chu Yan's lucky day.

"Alright, soon I will arrange for someone to prepare a room for you. From then on, you will live here. As for the other matters, we will talk about them later." Chu Mo said, casually handing over an elixir pill: "Eat this when you get back, the poison in your body will be cured. However, the process might be a bit uncomfortable, so get ready to use the latrine..."

"Um..." Chu Yan immediately blushed and rolled her eyes at Chu Mo.

Then, Chu Mo called a maid and instructed her to take Chu Yan to her prepared room.

The maid was awestruck by the sudden appearance of the beautiful girl, and a touch of disappointment crossed her mind. She hadn't expected that another woman of high status would appear at the residence so soon. Although she did not know the relationship between her and the young master, it was evident... that her status was much higher than theirs.

However, these petty thoughts quickly dissipated, for being able to come to this place and meet such a master was already a great fortune for them.

After sending off Chu Yan, Chu Mo sat there and drank a cup of tea, then couldn't help but laugh as he murmured: "I really have good luck. I wonder if the queen of the Prince's Mansion would cough up blood in anger if she knew the girl she worked so hard to groom for years to be her trump card has become my person? Speaking of the queen... she's been quiet lately. I hope she continues to keep this peace."

At that moment, Chu Mo had no idea that the queen he was talking about, Yuan Zidai, was furiously raging.

On this New Year's Eve, she, the most powerful woman in the Prince's Mansion, should have been in the palace banquet hall, chatting and laughing elegantly with a group of noble ladies.

Yet, she was currently in a convent in Yanhuang City. Although the table was filled with plentiful dishes, both meat and vegetarian, she didn't have any appetite.

Her once beautiful face was now twisted with rage.

In front of her was a young man, handsome in appearance, only his facial expression contained a softness that typically belonged to a girl.

It was Xia Jie, who had been made into a eunuch by Chu Mo's kick.

"Mother, don't be angry anymore. Things have already turned out this way, what else could we do?" Xia Jie's voice was soft and strange, somewhat akin to a palace eunuch.

"What else can we do? I want revenge! Not only do I want to kill that beast Chu Mo, I won't let that heartless brute Xia Jing off either!" Yuan Zidai spoke with cold eyes and gritted her teeth. "Do they really think I'm still that naive girl from a small family? Do they presume just because they're royalty, they can freely control others' lives?"

"Mother... You want to take revenge on my father?" Xia Jie's face displayed shock, looking somewhat incredulously at his mother.

Yuan Zidai looked at Xia Jie, laughing coldly: "You fool, can't you even perceive the state we're in?"

Xia Jie said: "What state? I'm the only male in the Prince's Mansion. Despite... Despite being harmed by that beast Chu Mo and losing that ability, I'm still the only heir to the Prince's Mansion!"

"Not for long." Yuan Zidai looked at her son, coldly saying. "Once that little beast Chu Mo cures that old brute, he'll quickly have a bunch of sons! Do you understand? When that happens, do you think he'll care about a useless wreck like you?"

"I'm not useless!" Xia Jie stood up suddenly, looking angrily at his own mother: "Even you speak of me this way!"

The shrill voice carried far.

However, there were hardly any people to hear it. Besides the servants Yuan Zidai brought to this nunnery, there were almost no other outsiders. The nuns originally cultivating here had long been driven away by Yuan Zidai. Otherwise, how could there be non-vegetarian food in such a serene cultivation place?

Yuan Zidai coldly looked at her own son: "Sit down!"

Xia Jie shuddered, sitting down with a face full of grievance and began to whimper.

This made Yuan Zidai even more irritated. She looked at her son, angrily saying: "Crying like a woman! You're getting on my nerves, and you're in my way here, get out, get back to the Prince's Mansion!"

Xia Jie stood up, with a wave of his sleeve, and stormed out, swaying his hips.

Yuan Zidai overturned the table full of abundant dishes, then hysterically yelled: "Chu Mo! I will tear you to pieces!"

Yuan Zidai, like a madwoman, smashed everything smashable in the room, then gasping heavily, gritted her teeth and said: "Come out! I agree to your terms!"

In the room, an old man appeared all of a sudden. Looking around fifty, with an ordinary face, he gazed at Yuan Zidai's voluptuous figure with lustful eyes while laughing lewdly: "Has the queen really decided?"

Yuan Zidai looked at the old man, a strong disgust flickering in her eyes. But she gritted her teeth and nodded: "I agree to you...."

The man was about to approach her.

Yuan Zidai took a step back: "Stop!"

"Still pretending to be holy? Haven't you already agreed to me?" The man's vulgar face showed a cold smirk. "I thought you were that favored queen."

Yuan Zidai coldly said: "I did agree to you but don't try to touch me before you show me Chu Mo's head!"

The old man, somewhat impatient, said: "A mere brat, do you really think he's a monster?"

As he spoke, the old man tried to approach again, but Yuan Zidai instantly took out a knife and held it against her throat: "If you come any closer, I'll die!"

"Fine... I'll bring you his head! If you still refuse me after that, don't blame me for using force!" The old man sneered, "Don't try to scare me by threatening suicide, I don't want you to die, you can't succeed!"

Yuan Zidai said: "Bring me that little beast's head, and I will surrender to you."

The old man's gaze wandered lasciviously over Yuan Zidai's curves and then disappeared from the room with a lewd laugh.

Yuan Zidai, as if drained of all strength, slumped onto a chair, staring blankly ahead.
