how about continuing this hug after you two put on some clothes?

One

"Die right here in my hands."

Two

"I will put a slave mark on your soul, and you have to be a maid and serve us all from now on."

"Come on, choose one, whatever choice you like; I will fulfill it for you," said Ronin with a calm look on his face. However, his words, as heard by her, made her feel like these words came from the ruler of hell himself.

"I... want... to be your... maid," Lin Fai said in a stammering voice with a fearful look on her face.

"Good choice," said Ronin and placed his hand on Lin Fai's head and chanted a mantra, and a symbol formed in her consciousness.

"Commoners are an eyesore to you, right? I will make you feel like what it is like to be an eyesore from now on," thought Ronin, with his lips curled up into a smile.

"Ha... I'm so envious," a young girl in the shadows near the Lin mansion murmured in a low voice with an envious tone.

If what she said is heard by Ronin, then I'm sure he will become speechless for at least an hour.

"Let's go," said Ronin, and he slowly walked out of the Lin mansion, followed by Zhen Xia and Lin Fai.

Ronin rented a carriage, boarded it, followed by Zhen Xia and Lin Fai, after he instructed the driver about the destination. After a few minutes, the carriage reached the destination, and all of them disembarked from the carriage, one after another. They entered the inn, with Ronin paying the money to the driver.

Ronin purchased a room for Lin Fai, and they all entered their respective rooms. Ronin sat on the bed, contemplating the battle he had just experienced a few minutes ago. He aimed to rectify the mistakes he made while fighting the Oldman to refine his fighting style. This way, he could perfect it without encountering significant issues, ensuring that enemies couldn't exploit it against him, preventing any potential losses in future fights.

The next morning...

"Wake up... Wake up..." Zhen Xia shouted, pulling the bedsheets away from Sese and Xu.

"Sister Zhen Xia, let me sleep for one more minute," said Xu, nestling into her bed with a reluctant expression, unwilling to wake up.

"Yeah, I want to sleep... I want to sleep..." Sese chimed in, hugging Xu with a stubborn look on her face.

"All of you, we are heading to a new place. If you don't want to come with us, we can leave you here at this inn," said Ronin with a playful smile on his face.

"A new place? Where are we going?" Two girls quickly sat up on the bed, eagerly inquiring.

"Shell City. You both need to freshen up quickly," said Ronin with a gentle smile.

"Shell City? Yay!" exclaimed the two young girls, jumping out of bed and rushing toward the bathrooms.

Inside the bathroom...

"What is this called?" asked Xu, holding a bar of soap in her hands.

"This is called soap. This is shampoo. This is a toothbrush, and this is toothpaste," explained Sese, pointing to the items on the small wooden table beside the bathtub using her little finger.

"Do you really remember all those weird names for these things?" Xu asked, a surprised expression on her face.

"Of course, these things were created by Father especially for all of us, so I'll definitely remember their names," Sese replied, proudly lifting her chin.

"There's foam on your nose."

*Spatter...*

Xu playfully splashed water on Sese's face, a teasing look in her eyes.

"You have foam on your cheeks too."

*Spatter...*

Sese retaliated by splashing water on Xu's face, matching her teasing expression. Both of them burst into laughter.

"When are you two going to come out of the bathroom?" Ronin called from the bedroom.

"Father, let us bathe for a few more minutes," a voice came from the bathroom.

"You created them. Even as an adult, it took me so much effort to leave them reluctantly and come out of the bathroom. Don't mention those two kids," Zhen Xia remarked, shrugging her shoulders as she looked at Ronin.

"Yeah, if only I didn't create them," Ronin thought, releasing a long, helpless sigh.

After a few more minutes, both of them slowly walked out of the bathroom.

"Father, I like soap and shampoo," Sese said, hugging Ronin's right hand.

"Brother Ronin, I also like soap and shampoo," Xu chimed in, hugging Ronin's left hand.

"Hmm, how about continuing this hug after you two put on some clothes?" Ronin asked, an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

Both little girls released their grips, their faces blushing, and hurriedly ran into another room after taking their dresses in hand.

"These two girls sure like you very much," Zhen Xia remarked in a teasing tone.

"Do you like me too?" Ronin asked, an amused look on his face.

"Hmph, I'm going to give a few tasks to our new maid servant," Zhen Xia said and walked out of the room, heading toward Lin Fai's room.

Meanwhile, in the Lin mansion main hall...

"Father, are we going to let him take my daughter away from me? Don't you care about your granddaughter anymore?" asked the middle-aged man, his face displaying anger.

"What? Didn't you see how that kid kicked my ass? If you're that brave, why didn't you go and fight with him instead of crying in front of me?" Oldman Lin retorted, his brows furrowed in annoyance.

"Father, are we just going to leave this matter like that?" asked a middle-aged man with a frustrated expression.

Before Oldman could reply to his son's words, a guard hurriedly entered the main hall and shouted, "Patriarch, three elders: Tu Faj from the Tu family, Taser from the Ray and Light Sect, and Kalyug from the Ryuko Sword Sect, have come to visit you."

"Three elders from two prominent sects and one prominent family have come to visit me personally?" exclaimed Oldman, a surprised expression on his face. He stood up from his main seat and walked out of the main hall.

As soon as the patriarch emerged from the main hall, he spotted the three elders and quickly approached them, wearing a feigned smile. "Elder Tu Faj, Elder Taser, Elder Kalyug, welcome to the Lin family. Please follow me."

All the elders followed Oldman Lin and arrived close to the main hall, entering one after another. Oldman Lin arranged three seats side by side near his main seat and then took his place.
