AugXiao Xun'er quickly shook her head, though her beautiful eyes remained fixed on the Purple Electric Marten in Ye Chen's hand.
A sixth-tier magical beast as a pet… and mastery over such terrifying power.
Just what kind of background does Master have?
A spark of curiosity lit up her gaze, but it quickly faded as she remembered her own situation.
What does his origin matter to me?
Right now, she was nothing more than a little slave girl, a plaything at the mercy of his whims, living a life without dignity.
The thought of the photo crystal in Ye Chen's possession made her heart sink further. In the end, she could only force herself to stop thinking about it....accepting her fate, at least for now.
Instead, she shifted her attention to the small, furry creature in his palm and asked softly, "Master… what's its name?"
"No name yet," Ye Chen replied casually. Then, his lips curved into a warm smile. "Why don't you choose one?
Didn't you say you wanted a companion? I'll let it stay here with you from now on."
Her eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"
Purple had always been her favorite color.....her dresses, her hair accessories… and now, this little fellow with its soft, violet fur and bright eyes.
The sight of it stirred a rare trace of joy in her chest.
"When has Master ever lied to you?" Ye Chen chuckled and gently placed the Purple Electric Marten into her hands.
"Little one," he said with a hint of amusement, "from now on, you'll stay here with… this sister."
Ye Chen had originally intended to say "mistress," but the word stopped at the edge of his tongue.
Xiao Xun'er was, after all, nothing more than his slave girl. In his eyes, she was far from worthy of such a title.
Perhaps… only after she had borne him several children would she have the right to be called "Mistress."
"Sister! Sister!"
The Purple Electric Marten was unexpectedly well-behaved. Perhaps it caught the faint, lingering fragrance of Ye Chen's presence on Xiao Xun'er, because it settled quietly in her arms, its soft voice calling to her without a trace of resistance.
"So good… so cute!"
Her delicate fingers brushed through its fur again and again, her expression softening. "Master, let's call it… Xiao Zi."
"As long as you like it," Ye Chen replied casually.
Holding Xiao Zi in her arms, Xiao Xun'er felt as though the emptiness in her heart had been filled...just a little.
A rare, bright smile bloomed on her face, like sunlight breaking through clouds.
Seeing this, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly in satisfaction. At least, for now, she wouldn't be thinking of ending her own life.
The photo crystal in his possession, combined with the Purple Electric Marten, would be a double layer of control.
Of course, Ye Chen hadn't given her Xiao Zi purely out of kindness it was both a companion for her and a watchful little spy under his command.
If Xiao Xun'er ever sank into despair again, the Purple Electric Marten would be there to sense it and stop her in time.
After making sure she was settled, Ye Chen asked if she needed anything else, brought her some daily necessities, and then left the small world.
...
"Where have you been fooling around again?"
Back at the manor, Ya Fei had already woken up. Her complexion looked much better, but her eyes narrowed in suspicion as soon as she saw him.
She took in his scent, her plump chest rising slightly with the movement, the curves forming an almost sinful silhouette.
"Brother Ye Chen," she said with a half-smile that didn't reach her eyes, "you've really turned bad. Tell me honestly.....do you have another woman outside?"
There was still a faint fragrance clinging to him, one she instantly recognized was not her own. The thought of it made her heart twist with a twinge of jealousy.
With her quick wit, she didn't need much to guess that Ye Chen had been with someone else.
It wasn't that Ya Fei couldn't accept the idea of him having other women.....she knew the kind of man he was....but what irked her was his restlessness.
He had only been in Wutan City for a few days, and she was right here at his side… yet he still couldn't resist going out to find another. The bastard was insatiable.
Faced with her sharp questioning, Ye Chen's expression stiffened slightly.
"Sister Ya Fei, don't overthink. Things aren't what you think they are."
She raised a brow. "Oh? Did that old fox Gu Ni put you up to something?"
Ye Chen had just opened his mouth to explain when Ya Fei's expression shifted, her eyes narrowing as her teeth clenched in restrained fury.
He paused, then let out a small sigh and said, half-admitting, half-deflecting,
"That's right… if that old fox hadn't tempted me over and over again, how could I have made such a mistake?"
Her beautiful face frosted over in an instant.
"What a shameless old man! I'm going to settle this with him!"
Before Ye Chen could even finish speaking, Ya Fei had already spun on her heel, her curvaceous figure swaying as she stormed out of the room, heels clicking like the drums of war.
