Chapter 18 - Brother, Could You Make An Exception For My Maid?

Li Yu was so shocked at this moment as he watched the scene in front of him.

He had not expected that someone would push open the door all of a sudden, without any forewarning.

"Ops!!!!!" Li Yu sounded in shock.

He suddenly threw away the huge hammer in his hand and rushed to help the fellow that had been plunged away by him.

"Are- are you okay?" Li Yu asked nervously, as he knew he was in the wrong.

But it's not entirely Li Yu's fault though, as he was not expecting that at all.

"Boho!!! Bohoho!!!!"

The guard began to cry like a little kid who had been cheated so much that he couldn't take it anymore.

Li Yu gave the fitted guard a blank look for a while as he had never expected the cry.

"Mister, I'm so sorry, I never knew you were there," Li Yu bowed ninth degree to the guard with remorse in his voice.

The guard's head had begun bleeding profusely at this moment, and it had begun to swell up.

"ho!!!!! Please lord, please, let me be."

The guard was feeling that Li Yu was a jinx now. He wants nothing more than to leave Li Yu's sight Asap.

"Hun!! How can I let you be when I know I'm at fault here?" Li Yu asked unhappily.

He checked the guard's bloated head, and he couldn't help but become much speechless.

'What an unlucky guy…'

"Please wait here for some seconds."

Immediately after Li Yu, said that he ran off into the palace without looking back.

With heart beating heavily at a fast pace, the guard felt that he should escape now, but did not, after some thoughts.

'Bohoo!!!! My life is so pitiful.'

Li Yu finally came out after the time that would take for a cup of tea to boil.

In his hands were various leaves, a fruit, and a bowl of water.

The guard became blank when he saw all this.

'What does he want to do now??'

The guard began to hope for death to just come at this moment.

Li Yu who had noticed the untrusting expression on the guard's face decided not to comment at all.

He gently placed everything in his arms on the floor beside the guard.

"Take this."

Li Yu threw an azure blue fruit that was the size of an apple to the guard.

'What is this.'

The guard would have rejected it, but he knew that would be acting rude to his future lord.

He unhappily bit heavily into the fruit, and 'boom!!!'

The guard's brain suddenly exploded and stopped working for a second, in shock.

Tears began to fall from his teary eyes again.

"Young- young master, please is- is this fruit what I thought it was?!"

"Hun!!!! How would I know the fruit you're thinking of?" Li Yu asked speechlessly.

He had begun to think this guard of his has a sissy now, with all the way he's being emotional.

"Master is this a- a spi- spirit fruit?!"

"_"

Li Yu finally understand why the other party was behaving like that.

He had never taken the fruit seriously as it does not even worth mentioning in his previous life.

This sort of extremely low-level fruit would not even be found at all, which was why Li Yu had not thought of how the guard would react in the first place.

It might be because it's been a long time since someone had been here last or so, but all the spiritual fruits in the palace had fully ripened with nobody or anything touching them, save from some that had different bites on them which was most likely the work of some strange insects.

"I think it is." Li Yu answered without a change of expression.

The guard who had already come to that conclusion when the energy from the fruit had entered his body was so shocked that he does not know how to react at this moment.

Never in his entire life had he thought he would taste a spirit fruit that cost a fortune even for the rich people in his life.

He looked at the fruit which he had taken a large bite of and immediately felt like crying.

'why had I taken such a large bite from it, why?? I could have eaten it slowly so that I would be able to savor its great taste and energy.'

The guard was looking so lost now that he did not notice when Li Yu squeezed the medicinal grass and began to administer it to his head.

Li Yu was feeling so thankful at this moment that he had not used much strength to swing the hammer earlier, maybe the guard's head would have long been completely scattered.

"Ouch…"

The guard suddenly felt a burning sensation on his head, waking him from his stupor.

Li Yi who had stood by the side after he had finished doing what he was doing earlier couldn't help but nod in self-satisfaction.

The guard suddenly touched his head with a start.

"What- what do you apply on my head, sir?!"

"It's a concoction that would make your head stop bleeding and also lower its rise."

"Oh!!" The guard replied dismissively, not believing what Li Yu had said a bit, but chose not to say a word because he was still feeling gratitude for the fruit Li Yu had given him.

"Thank you for the spirit fruit and for treating my wound young lord," The guard gave Li Yu a bow that came right from his heart.

He had completely forgotten that it was Li Yu who had given him the wound in the first place.

"It's nothing," Li Yu lowered his head in embarrassment.

"That reminds me, young lord, why were you knocking on the door in the first place?" The guard's face was suddenly filled with confusion as he could not understand why Li Yu who was given house arrest in the name of grounding would want to come out.

"Yeah, that's right," Li Yu finally remembered why he had knocked on the door in the first place.

"I haven't seen my maid for more than a day now, had she not come here?"

The guard was abruptly filled with embarrassment, he scratched the back of his head while looking away from Li Yu's face.

"Do you know why she had not visited me?!"

Li Yu instantly knew that the other party knows something when he saw his expression.

"I- I, it- it was the patriarch that ordered me not to allow anyone to visit you, so I-"

The guard who was talking in a nearly inaudible voice was not able to complete his sentence due to overwhelming embarrassment.

'Why has he put me in such a difficult situation? I wouldn't have felt embarrassed at all if he had not given me that treasure!'

"Oh..."

Li Yu does not know how to react when he heard what the guard said.

'Is father trying to turn me into a lonely monk now?!!!'

"Hahahaha, my great brother, could you make an exception for my maid?!!!"

'_'

The guard's face was instantly filled with a funny look.

He had only been hearing different stories of how shameless Li Yu was, he had never experienced it first hand, apart from this moment.

"Is that possible brother?"

Li Yu smiled brightly.

The guard was finally able to react.

"No- no young master, please don't put me in an awkward situation, I don't dare do that sir."

The guard knelt on one knee with his head bowed like a knight.

Seeing this, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh deeply.

'I could only think of other means,' he thought unhappily.

"It's okay brother, sorry for the harm and for disturbing you."

Li Yu turned back and returned to the palace.

'That was scary!!!!!!'

The guard ran after Li Yu and quickly shut the door after him.

'How great would it be if I were to be given this sort of fruit every day, in no time, I would reach the ninth level of the Qi gathering realm, jumping 6 realms directly.'

Even thinking of this alone had made the guard deeply excited.

"Time to start a marathon training."
