In the dark forest near Wuyun Empire, it was a stormy night. Heavy rain fell from the sky, and loud thunder shook the ground.
Lightning flashed again and again, lighting up the forest for a moment before everything went dark again. Above the clouds, the stars still shone faintly, quietly watching everything below.
Deep in the forest, there were sounds of roaring and screaming, mixed with the rain and thunder. The roar was full of pain… but also anger and shameless arrogance.
The sound came from a young man lying in a valley. His body was covered in blood—his own blood. His clothes were torn and soaked, and he looked half-dead. Yet even in this state, he wore a roguish grin.
"Looks like my time has come to an end. Am I about to die in this nameless valley? Xue Xianxian, Luo Yan, Luo Ling'er, Cheng Xue, Cheng Mei, and my six lovely maids... I will miss you all in heaven, or I don't know... in hell."
After saying this, his breath started becoming weaker and weaker, like he would die soon. Second after second passed until he took his last breath and died... or so it looked.
After Long Chen "died," the sky above him—which was covered with black clouds and lightning sparking here and there—suddenly began to change. The black clouds started gathering directly above Long Chen. Lightning suddenly struck just beside him.
The "dead" Long Chen suddenly became alive and shouted with horror, "Heaven, do you want to kill me? I am very innocent! I haven't done anything wrong—just flirted with the Sect Master of Ice Cold Palace and made out... a video... and nothing else! Your promise...!"
As he was saying this, he suddenly felt a horrifying pain...

That day morning/ 12 hours Ago
That Day Morning
"Master!"
"Wake up!"
"Masteeerrrr, wakeee uuupppppp!"
Long Chen opened his eyes to see a little girl around 16 years old sitting on him. She had an average chest, white hair that cascaded down to her waist like flowing silk, and white pupils which made her more beautiful—like pristine snow under moonlight. Her skin was pale and flawless, almost translucent, giving her an ethereal appearance. Her delicate features—small nose, cherry lips, and slender neck—were perfectly proportioned. She wore a simple white robe that matched her hair, making her look like a fairy descended from the heavens. She was extremely beautiful—a heaven-defying beauty that could cause the decline of God knows how many empires.
"Good morning, Wei," said Long Chen.
"Good morning, Master."
"Master, Xue Xiantian has come. He told me to wake you up. Today, Miss Xue will be going to Ice Cold Palace."
"Wei, prepare my bath and ask Xue Ying to prepare Transparent Soul Poison, mix it with Love Adoring Poison, and make a small-sized ball that can fit in the mouth."
Hearing Long Chen's command, Bai Wei thought, 'Looks like someone is going to become Master's target'.
"Master, you look very handsome today," Bai Wei commented seductively as she started leaning her body atop Long Chen.
Long Chen was already awake. Her face came toward him as she closed her eyes. Seeing this, Long Chen also closed his eyes, and their lips met.
Long Chen started kissing Wei gently as his hands slowly wrapped around her waist. After a few minutes, Long Chen turned her over on the bed, pinning her down.
Then he slowly parted his lips. Lifting her chin, he saw her red cheeks like tomatoes. Seeing her, Long Chen couldn't help but pinch them.
"Master, you are a bad guy," Wei said in a low voice only he could hear, with her shy voice.
Hearing her blaming him, Long Chen couldn't help but show a surprised face.
"Oh, I was only asking for a kiss. You perverted girl, and you're calling me the bad guy? Oh heavens, where is justi—" Before he could shout, Wei fiercely started kissing him. Seeing her like this, Long Chen couldn't control his hands. He started opening her upper garment and groping her chest fiercely.
As they were busy kissing, ten minutes passed.
Knock.
Knock.
Hearing this, she pushed Long Chen aside and started wearing her clothes. While she was getting dressed, Long Chen opened the door.
There was another heaven-toppling beauty with a slightly bigger chest than Wei's. Her long red hair flowed down to her hips like flames dancing in the wind, and her red pupils blazed with an inner fire that could captivate any man.
Her voluptuous figure was barely contained in her crimson robe, which hugged her curves perfectly. Her face was mature and alluring—sharp phoenix eyes, full red lips that seemed to invite kisses, and high cheekbones that gave her a noble appearance.
Her skin had a healthy glow, and her every movement exuded confidence and seduction. A beauty mark beneath her left eye only added to her charm.
"Good morning, Master," she greeted Long Chen with a big smile.
"Good morning, Rong," Long Chen greeted her while eyeing her chest.
"Master, we have prepared the pool for your bathing. Today, Sister Yu and I will be accompanying you and helping you bathe." Said Zhu Rong with a bright smile on her face.
"Rong, let's go to the bath. Wei, go and tell Xue Ying what I said."
Hearing Long Chen's words, Bai Wei replied seriously, "Yes, Master."
As Long Chen went to the bath pool, there was another heaven-toppling beauty with blue hair and blue eyes. Her hair was like the deep ocean, flowing smoothly to her mid-back with a natural wave that made it look like water itself.
Her blue eyes were like sapphires—deep, mysterious, and enchanting, as if they held the secrets of the sea.
Her chest was well-developed, matching Zhu Rong's in size, and her figure was graceful like a dancer's. She wore a light blue robe that revealed her shoulders and collarbone, making her look both elegant and seductive.
Her face had a gentle beauty—soft features, a small smile that never left her lips, and an aura of calmness that could soothe anyone's heart. Yet there was a playful glint in her eyes that showed she was not as innocent as she appeared.
"Good morning, Master," she said with a smile on her face.
"Good morning, Yu," Long Chen greeted while eyeing her chest.
Seeing Long Chen's gaze on her chest, Xuan Yu said with a playful smile, "Master, do you want to see what is inside?"
"Yes, I wanted to do this many times before, but I controlled myself. Now you people are inviting a tiger for a meal—why would the tiger deny it?"
Hearing Long Chen say this, Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
"Master, you are wrong. We are not inviting the tiger for a meal. We are only inviting the tiger for seeing the meat, not for eating."
"What! Such a heartless decision! Who made it? Was it Xue Ying?" Long Chen said with surprise.
"Master, it's not the time for the meal yet. When the time comes, you will know," Xuan Yu said seriously.
"Okay, I understand. Let's bathe fast. I have to go meet Xue Xianxian—she will be leaving for Ice Cold Palace today."
"Yes, Master, let's bathe." Zhu Rong then took off Long Chen's clothes.
They helped him bathe and dress. While they were helping him, he was only staring at their chests. What was it about today that he was staring at their chests? That was simple—today they were wearing clothes which revealed half of their chests. Who would not be attracted to this? If he was not attracted, he would think himself a eunuch.
It was not like he was staring at other women. They were his women—not exactly women yet, but not less than women.
It was his 10th birthday when his father gave him six personal maids around his age. From where did they come? Why would Father give him maids on his birthday? On top of that, his maids' beauty could rival the princess of the empire. Only he and his family knew of the existence of these maids—the outer world did not know.
He was now near 18, which meant in a few months, this would be his 18th birthday.
As for the maids: the one who woke him up was Bai Wei—she was the youngest maid, around 16 years old, with snow-white hair and ethereal beauty.
After that was Zhu Rong, who had fiery red hair and a seductive mature figure, around 17 years old.
Then Xuan Yu with deep ocean-blue hair and a graceful dancer's body, also 17 years old.
Then came Hua Xin, who had beautiful pink hair like cherry blossoms, gentle green eyes, and a delicate innocent appearance with a modest figure—she was 17 and a half years old.
After her was Han Fei, who had striking purple hair that reached her waist, mysterious violet eyes, and a cold beauty that made her seem unapproachable—yet her figure was the most developed among all the maids except for the eldest, and she was also 17 and a half years old.
And last was Long Xue Ying—she was the eldest at nearly 18 years old, with silver hair that shone like moonlight, golden eyes that held wisdom beyond her years, and a perfect hourglass figure that made her the most mature and alluring of all the maids. Her beauty was so overwhelming that even Long Chen sometimes found it hard to control himself around her.
