You Will Serve Him

It had been almost 6 days since Admon had fallen asleep, Nalin and Vered were constantly hovering over the sleeping woman, waiting for her to wake up, she kept mumbling and screaming for help. Although everyone in the garden did not recognise her, they could not hide their concern, and even a creature as vicious as Nalin was curious about her.

"HAH!" The woman suddenly cried out and opened her eyes, her body writhing with pain and consequently moving her body on the bed as if all her muscles were contracting. Realising this, Nalin suddenly stood on her chest and said, "Don't worry, I will save you because my master wants me to." 

At that moment, an incredible spiritual qi began to come out of Nalin's feet and enter through the woman's chest. Normally she would have wanted to send this qi towards her dantian, but the woman's current problem was not her dantian, but the damage she was struggling with in her heart. 

She had suffered such a great amount of internal injury that she was really at a point of distress. Admon had managed to heal her abdomen, but she was dealing with not only bruises on her abdomen but also bruises on her legs, heart damage, muscle tears and dozens of similar problems. It was a miracle that she was even alive.

The qi that entered the woman's heart quickly spread to the whole body and began to heal the body from the root. The woman's body, which seemed to relax a little, seemed to have stopped contracting and continued to flow. A black film began to flow from her eyes and Nalin said, "Good for you, use the qi I gave you."

The woman did as Nalin said and put the qi into use, and this time dark layers began to flow from her whole body. The bed on which the woman was lying turned black and an incredibly disgusting odour began to spread throughout the room where she was staying. Even if Nalin hated this kind of odour, stopping now could really kill the woman. 

What Nalin was making her do now was called body purification, his body could not purify and utilise every bit of dirty qi from the outside, which meant that dirty qi would accumulate in the body. So, of course, it would be very helpful to have a strong master come in and purify the body.

As a result, the qi that Nalin transferred to the woman not only healed her body at an incredible speed, but also managed to purify her body easily because she was sober, almost the entire purification process, which would normally take more than a year, was completed in about a minute. The rest depended on what the woman would do with her qi, perhaps she could improve and strengthen herself.

The woman, meanwhile, had closed her eyes and had begun to cultivate in a horizontal position, and Nalin seemed quite surprised that she was capable of this. Indeed, the woman who was drawing qi at an incredible speed had already reached the Martial Demon Grandmaster level and was continuing to rise at an incredible speed.

It was certain that they would be here for a while.

"It's finally over, you had me worried woman." Nalin jumped off the woman's chest to the floor and began to wash her feet in the water that had fallen from the fountain, the little cat was very particular about cleanliness and the filth made her incredibly nauseous.

"It was you who saved me? Thank you very much, what do I owe you---" the woman was about to show a sign of politeness when Vered stopped her by saying "serve our master". The woman was looking at the cat on the ground and the snake coiled around it in a confused way and trying to understand what was going on.

"I beg your pardon, Your Highness?" she questioned, her curiosity piqued, yet she felt an involuntary fear.

"It doesn't matter if you are a princess now. Whether you are a god from heaven or a demon from hell, these ranks are irrelevant. We will give you the honour of serving my mightiest master." Vered answered very seriously and confused her even more.

"But my master! My home, my father is so me---" she was trying to finish her sentence again when Nalin stopped her and said "don't worry, we visited your kingdom and on my master's orders we destroyed all the traitors until not even their souls were left, now you belong to my master."

The woman was even more surprised by this and thought that her father had given up on her. Nalin and Vered were suddenly worried when tears began to flow down her face and Vered stepped forward and said "think about it, my master went out for the first time in 100 years and saved you immediately, why would someone so powerful want to save an ordinary person if he didn't want you?"

Even though the woman nodded her head as if she understood, she knew that there was no way to express her heartbreak. She had never expected her family, for whom she would have sacrificed her life, to give up on her so easily.

"What's your name?" Nalin suddenly said in a commanding tone, and the woman corrected herself and said, "Mery."

"What kind of demon are you?" Nalin questioned, and with that the woman transformed before their eyes, revealing her original form. Both Nalin and Vered had a very puzzled expression. Vered couldn't take it anymore and said "your father is a 7-tailed fox, but you are a bird I don't know...I didn't expect that."

Mery, as if she knew this very well, said, "Yes, that's why most demons hated me. I am an unknown creature and I was adopted by the royal family."

When Nalin noticed her sad demeanour, she let out her breath as if she had given up and said, "Whatever it is, this is your home now, get into our master's favour and stay as a servant. And I'll tell you in advance, if you want to live, don't tell our master about us openly, he ignores what kind of beings we are. All this garden, all this house, all these holy springs are nothing in his eyes, he is the greatest of the great."

With that, the only thing Mery had to do now was to train herself to take care of the place and get into Admon's favour.

That couldn't be too hard, could it?
