Chapter 229 : : Thousand Fragrance Body

"Young Master Rex, is it really necessary for Patriarch Jiang to go himself and do all that work in person for such a long time? he is a capable person and I believe he can easily manage all that from here, so can't he stay here and manage all that work from here.

I know that I am not in a place to give such suggestions but it will be easier for me to check on him if he remains here," Lucia said with slight hesitation.

'Long time work? I sent him out? easy to work if he remains here?' Rex got a lot of clues after hearing her words.

"Lucia, didn't I told you not to mention it?" Jiang Shuang said in a slightly panicked tone.

The corners of Rex's lips curled upwards. He now already got the idea of what is happening.

'Appraisal: name & cultivation stage,' (Rex)

[Name: Lucia

Cultivation stage: Core Forming 7th stage]

'As I thought this bastard Jiang Shuang, I knew something was wrong when her name was of a different type from him. She doesn't even have Jiang surname so she shouldn't be from that Jiang family.

Although I don't know her origin, she is probably keeping an eye on him and restricting his moment. He is not a monk but a damn womanizer she probably stopped him from doing many things, that's why he is using my work as an excuse to put her here and enjoy his youth outside. No wonder he was so kind to me,'Rex thought

"Hehe… my important work was it?" Rex looked at Jiang Shuang with a smile harmless to humans and animals.

"Ahem… about that I consider every task given by Master Rex important so…" Jiang Shuang panicked when Rex looked at him that, so he spoke while averting his eyes in embarrassment.

"I am honored that you give so much importance to my tasks but now that Miss Lucia has made such a request I can't decline it. She is in charge of taking care of the whole castle from now on so I need to give her some face.

That's why I ask you to shift all your things from your previous mansion and to here in my castle permanently and from now on you can manage the work from here and only need to go outside for very important tasks. I will tell you in advance about those important tasks. Is that fine Miss Lucia?" Rex looked at her with a smile.

Right now Rex was behaving like an ideal gentleman to an extent that if Wang Xiu Ying was here she would even doubt if he was the real Rex and not a fake.

"I thank Young Master Rex for giving so much weight to my selfish request," Lucia thanked him.

Jiang Shuang deeply sighed. Seeing him like that Rex just laughed inwardly saying 'It's called payback'.

"It's not something you need to thank me for, we are going to live under the same roof from now on so it's natural if we take care of each other. You just arrived here so you must be tired, so go and take some rest," Rex maintained his gentleman attire.

"Then I will take my leave for now," Lucia bowed one more time before she left. During the whole talk, there was not much change in her expression.

After she left Rex's elegant posture changed and the aura of gentleman went back to the netherworld.

"You even told her my real name. Aren't you afraid she will leak the information? If she does and someone plot against me using that information then the contract… you know what I mean, right?" Rex put his hand around Jiang Shuang's shoulder.

"Don't worry Master Rex, she is a clever and responsible person. I have years of trust in her she won't reveal anything she sees or hears inside the castle to the outside world," Jiang Shuang said with a dull expression. He was unhappy because Rex wasted all his efforts in a single sentence.

"By the way who is she? she is way stronger than you and it doesn't seem like you hired her at all," Rex asked curiously.

"She is with me from the time when I was still a part of Jiang Family. She was an orphan that my wife picked up to train. Although she is younger than me but she is stronger than me, her cultivation talent is far superior to others that's why her cultivation base is above me too.

I on the other hand was never too good at cultivating, so I am the weakest even among all my brothers and sisters.

My wife told her to take care of me before she left that's why she makes sure that I don't get seduced by other women or get in trouble," Jiang Shuang explained.

'You getting seduced?…. give me a break, she is probably here so that she can save some innocent women from your clutches,' Rex sneered inwardly.

[It's funny when it's coming from you.]

"You said your wife told her to take care of you before she left what does that mean?" Rex asked in confusion.

"Sigh.. about that I was going to tell you anyway, you see…" Jiang Shuang sighed and was saying but Rex interrupted him.

"It's all right, I understand. I apologize for asking such a silly question," Rex said while patting his shoulder to comfort him.

"Huh? I think yo…." Jiang Shuang looked at Rex then spoke again but Rex again interrupted him.

"Didn't I say there is no need to say anything. I wasn't born yesterday, I understand these kinds of things. Let's go for a walk outside, it will calm your heart," Rex said with a resolute face

"But that's not what I me..." Jiang Shuang again made a failed attempt to speak a complete sentence.

"Brother Jiang, you can't live with the past, you need to move forward I think your wife also wanted that from you. You have a beautiful daughter to take care of, so why should you get lost in the past," Rex said while looking in his eyes.

Jiang Shuang remained quiet this time.

Rex noticed that his face was a little dark.

"Brother you seem a little angry? did something happen? what is it about?" Rex asked with an honest face.

"My wife is alive and kicking," Jiang Shuang said with a dark face.

"…" (Rex)

[That's why they say… having incomplete information is more dangerous than having no information.]

"You should have said that sooner and I was feeling bad for literally nothing." Rex snorted.

Jiang Shuang had the urge to punch him in the face but he held back.

"My wife is from Formless Water Palace, this sect is in a faraway place and she usually stays there to cultivate that's why she told Lucia to take care of me," Jiang Shuang explained.

"That aside, the scent Lucia use has a good fragrance, right? its smell was really good, do you know its name?" Rex said

'Wasn't it Miss Lucia a few seconds ago,' (Jiang Shuang)

"Master Rex if you want to use an excuse to change the topic then at least use a better one. I don't smell any fragrance and Lucia is a very simple woman I mean she doesn't buy jewelry, perfume or any expensive dresses and I have never seen her using any perfume all these years so your excuse is meaningless," Jiang Shuang said

"What! You serious? A woman that doesn't like jeweles…cough..cough... I mean, she is not using any perfume? so you really don't smell a sweet intoxicating fragrance with a calming effect?" Rex asked again

"As I said I don't sme.. wait you said intoxicating and calming effect?" Jiang Shuang asked in a little surprised tone

"That's what I am saying," Rex said in annoyance

"Master Rex's sense of smell is really strong. If I am right then it's because of her Thousand Fragrance body, she has a special physique but it's not as strong as other special physiques it has no offensive or defensive power. Although it can be used to confuse your opponent using his sense of smell but with if the opponent has good mental strength then even that is useless.

The only advantage is that it slightly raises her cultivation speed and makes her body acquire a unique fragrance but she can control it at her will, I mean she can suppress it so others cannot detect it but to think Master Rex still smelled it, I didn't tell you about it because it wasn't that noteworthy," Jiang Shuang explained.

Rex now understood that the fragrance was not coming from the perfume but her body, he also knows that there are many special physiques that are not that good but are just a little different from the normal people and this physique was also one of those, many people label them useless physiques.

'Well at least now I don't have to buy a room freshener,' Rex thought.

[They do say 'Be positive' but to think you took it to that level.]

"By the way tell me something, she is an orphan and takes care of you right now so…. she doesn't have a close friend or a …lover right? don't you dare misunderstood I am just asking to make sure that no trouble follow her here. Although you brought her here I still need to confirm that someone is not using her to acquire information on me," Rex said with a serious face.

"Didn't you saw her expressionless face, she is that serious all the time, you think she will have a lover, she doesn't even care about makeup or maintaining her good appearance, she is just natural beauty. She eats anything that is given to her and wears whatever she has…. she just doesn't know the word favorite," Jiang Shuang was speaking but then he noticed that Rex was looking at him with a disdainful expression.

"I never thought you were that type of disgusting person, you don't even give her choices even in eating and clothing," Rex said in a bad tone.

"Master Rex do you think I lack money to buy her food or clothes? I asked her countless time and even gave her money to spend but she only cares about her work. She takes her work as her duty, she highly respects my wife and is very grateful to her.

My wife also cares about her and trusts her that's why she left her with me so that she can take care of me and also freely live at home if I really force her to do something my wife will definitely kill me" Jiang Shuang said in a low tone.

Rex nodded after thinking for a while.

Rex was just about to walk out of the hall but Jiang Shuang suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Master Rex although I remember you said you don't care about other's race, you sure about that," Jiang Shuang asked with a slightly worried expression.

"Yeah I mean what I say, even if it's a demon as long he or she is a good person I don't care. But why are you asking that now?" Rex asked

"Although I am not supposed to tell you this because she won't like it, but she isn't pure human. One of her parents was likely Demi-Human so she also has some similarity to them," Jiang Shuang explained
