--- Chapter 58 ---

Yunlong stared at the red apple-haired girl with a curious expression because she is unusually calm in front of him and possessed a waste martial soul like him.

'She definitely at the same age as me, but surprisingly her spirit energy is only slightly inferior to Xiaoyu.' Yunlong thought while observing the red-haired girl.

'Wait, doesn't that means she knows how to cultivate her spirit energy?' He inwardly added while pondering about a few things, which changed his perspective on this girl.

"Are you by any chance a noble?" Yunlong suddenly said, making the red-haired girl's eyes widened in shock.

"H-How did you know..." The girl responded with a stutter while taking a few steps back.

"You're my father's subordinate?" She asked while staring at him with a frown, to which Yunlong responded with a shake of his head.

"Nope, I'm not. I'm just randomly speculating about your background, but your reaction confirmed it." Yunlong honestly answered, which left the girl speechless.

"You are probably only a lower class noble, a viscount? Maybe, a baron?" He naturally added while staring at the girl's green eyes.

"I-I was a baron daughter..." The girl quietly responded while lowering her head.

"Is that so? A baron daughter, eh." Yunlong commented with a little suspicious because even a baron should've their own land and soul masters.

Not only this red-haired girl didn't have a bodyguard, but she was somehow kidnapped by a group of ordinary people with a weak spirit grandmaster leader.

"How did you get caught by those bandits?" Yunlong suddenly asked, to which the red-haired girl reacted with a complicated expression on her face.

The girl dodged Yunlong's gaze while releasing sweat from her forehead, "I-I ran away from home."

"You ran away from home? Don't tell me your parents wants you to be engaged to high-class noble or something like that." Yunlong stared at her, who dumbly nodded her head in a daze.

'How did he know?! I definitely never met him before? Don't tell me he's guessing again?' The girl thought while nervously staring at Yunlong.

'The cliche of a romance story's heroine, eh?! Hah, don't tell me she also reincarnated person too,' Yunlong facepalmed himself while releasing a small sigh.

"Hey, look at my eyes," Yunlong instructed her, which made the girl instinctively raised her head and look at his sharingan.

Yunlong puts her in a trance as he checked her memory. After a few seconds of checking, he knows that she's not a reincarnated person like him. Still, he found something interesting about this girl.

'She surprisingly good with medicinal herbs. Not only she'd concoct a medicine and poison, but she also had a great mind compare to other noble girls in this era.' Yunlong praised the red-haired girl while pondering about something.

The only thing that makes Yunlong frown is her family, who bullied her because of her waste martial soul. Well, it's normal considering this world standard of a soul master and their martial soul.

Yunlong stared at her for a moment before flicking her forehead and then released the illusion, which brings her back to the real world.

"Ouch! My forehead, what happened?" The girl whimpered while brushing her own forehead because Yunlong's flick is very painful.

"You want to be my maid?" Yunlong commented with a smile on his face while looking at the red-haired girl.

"Mm, I want to be your maid." The girl firmly replied while staring at his eyes.

Yunlong is smiling at her and then said, "Sorry, but I refuse."

"I see... What?" The girl responded with a confused expression because she thought Yunlong will accept her as a maid considering just how nice he was yesterday.

"Why? Is it because I'm not from the spirit hall and less beautiful than them." The red-haired girl said while shifting her gaze at Xiaoyu and Yu Ning'er, who glanced at her with a calm expression.

"No, It's not because of that," Yunlong calmly shook his head while pointing his finger at her, "It's because I don't see any worth of recruiting you as my maid."

"Well, if you had something that makes me interested, maybe I'll consider your proposal to be my maid." He added while pulling his finger back, which leave the red-haired girl in a daze.

"Worth..." The red-haired girl quietly mumbled while taking a glance at Xiaoyu and Yu Ning'er.

"Well, I want to eat my breakfast. You can find me again later." Yunlong stated while giving his maids a glance, to which they responded with a nod.

They entered the bedroom and leaving the red-haired girl alone in the corridor.

"My worth..." The red-haired girl keeps mumbled while staring at the closed door.

"Give me a pudding!" Qian Renxue suddenly shouted while staring intently at her brother.

"Hah? What pudding? " Yunlong slightly smiled while making a clueless expression.

"The pudding you gave to them earlier, don't tell me you don't have it anymore." Qian Renxue said while shifting her gaze at Xiaoyu and Yu Ning'er.

"Really? I didn't remember giving them any puddings, though." Yunlong responded while bending his head a bit and then giving his maids a blink.

"Xiaoyu, Yu Ning'er, when did I gave you two puddings?" He asked his maids, who are shaking their heads according to his plan.

"You never give us puddings, young master." Xiaoyu quietly answered, which makes Qian Renxue speechless because she clearly saw them eating pudding a few minutes ago.

"Mm, what is pudding? I have never seen one." Yu Ning'er tilted her head in confusion.

"See, maybe you are just confused. You didn't remember that I only have one left, which I already give to you, no." Yunlong calmly stated, making his sister dumbly nodding her head.

'Did I hallucinated?' Qian Renxue frowned while staring at Yunlong.

"But, I definitely saw him eat pudding, and the scent is still lingering in my nose." Qian Renxue muttered while giving Yunlong a suspicious gaze.

Yunlong observed her with a calm smile on his face and said, "Well, let's have breakfast first."

--- After the breakfast ---

Yunlong opened the door, and to his surprise, the red-haired girl was still there.

She kneeled on the floor and then said, "Let me be your maid."

"You already know the answer for that, right?" Yunlong calmly said while staring at her.

"I know a lot about medicine, and I can be your personal physician maid." The girl suddenly stated while raising her head and firmly staring at him with her green eyes.

"The pill you gave me yesterday, I know it had three ingredients, which are; white grassroots, yellow-lined berries, and a portion of cinnamon extract." She thoughtfully added, which put a smile on Yunlong's face.

"Oh, impressive, then do you know the effect of my pill?" Yunlong questioned.

"It's relaxing mind and body, which is the effect of white grassroots. You add two other ingredients to lessen nausea effect and removing mild's taste from the white grassroots ." The red-haired girl perfectly answered.

Yunlong already knows about her capabilities, but he deliberately refused her and wants to test her.

"What is your name?" Yunlong asked, even though he already knows the red-haired girl's name.

"My name is Bai Xue." The girl calmly responded while bowing her head and said, "Please, let me be your maid."
