Jingyi saw everything in great detail.

After Luxuli, the rest of the wives also got to bounce on their husband’s lap, making noise without restraint, and seemingly without an ounce of shame for having a maid being right there as they went at it. Jingyi was a maid and property of their beloved after all, so there was no point in caring about her being here.

Since she had not been told otherwise, the lord’s personal maid continued to massage his shoulders and back the entire time. Doing her best to maintain her composure, despite feeling very much like dropping to her knees the entire time, this was making her so aroused that it was honestly obscene. Although it might look like Jingyi was holding on fairly well, the love juice dripping down her legs told another story. Due to being dressed nearly completely in white and with pants, the substance’s presence was clear for anyone to see.

And things did not stop with just one round of riding for each of them. Each went for several more rounds, doing their very best to try and milk their husband. But since, for once, they were the only ones performing the motions, Anoteros merely holding onto them with one arm, their intense expression of love had exhausted them before the lord.

The first to tap out was Hui. The meek librarian had the least stamina out of the bunch and ended up just falling asleep against the arm Edrick kept extended along the side of the tub. Still wearing a thoroughly satisfied expression on her face even when asleep. As though dreaming about further lustful acts.

The second to grow exhausted was Fanqia. Although the country girl had impressive endurance, it was safe to say that she also had the most mass to move up and down. So even the stamina earned from a harsh life away from the city was far from enough to deal with Anoteros. So she ended up joining Hui.

Of course, between Linmin and Luxuli, the demoness was the one to last the longest. She was quite literally a sex demon, after all, and only ended up getting tired out because she ‘over-ate’, Edrick’s white dew..

In the end, his four lovely wives, tired out of their minds, had to be taken to bed. Their husband did not immediately join them. Instead, staying behind for a little while with the headmaid, watching her clean the bathroom as she did her best to appear nonchalant and focused. Jingyi could not afford to look like she was expecting anything from her master. That would be deeply disrespectful.

Said master thoroughly enjoyed her plight, savouring it in full thanks to the crest he had placed upon her, telling him the full whirlwind of emotions and desires raging within that pretty maid of his.

Once she was done, Jingyi bowed deeply to Edrick.

“Master, is there anything I can do for you?” since he was blocking the door out of the bathroom, but not saying anything, she had to be the one to speak up.

Anoteros smiled. He now totally understood the appeal of having servants. Getting called ‘Master’ really had a nice ring to it. Something was exciting about people who truly believed themselves inferior to you, utterly dedicated to you, and always reminded you of it by the way they addressed you.

It was especially good with Jingyi, Lisha, and Yifei. Considering where they had started before ending up in that position, they loved and admired him wholeheartedly. He could be certain of it thanks to the crests, so there was no point in worrying about deception or anything like it. Truly incredible.

“Jingyi, you might have heard about it, but I am now capable of knowing a lot about those bearing my crests. Do you understand what that means for you?” he stepped up to her, pushing a strand of the girl’s hair behind her ear.

“Of course, Master”

“Don’t be shy… Are you not happy that you are going to learn what is special about you?”

“I am! But I dare not rejoice. I am aware that just because I am special, it does not mean that I will be valuable to you, Master”

Edrick smiled, grabbing her chin and squeezing her cheeks.

“You can rejoice. I’ll find a way to make you valuable… Not to mention, you are quite something. I am not sure what to call that condition of yours, I suppose ‘constitution’ only alludes to the physical… Mmh, no matter…” he lifted her head, as had already been discovered, Jingyi was a rare thing. She was naturally born with basically everything one could have that would be categorised as 'special'- A remarkable physique, a distinguished bloodline, a unique soul, a special mind, et cetera.

A magnificent specimen that he was fully intent on keeping close at hand.

“Listen, Jingyi… You were born with the ability to master a class of cultivation that is considered to fall under the umbrella of devil practice- Your innate physique and everything else is called ‘Eccentric Fangshi’, and it is tightly tied to necromancy and related concepts” he explained. Just like with Fanqia, he had known from the moment he had earned the ability to see detailed information about the people bearing his crests. But, just like with his first wife, he had wanted to learn about the subject and related topics. Unfortunately, there weren’t many avenues to learn about such taboo topics here, even Shu was not very useful in that regard.

“It is probably why you remain so thin, pale-skinned and physically weak overall, but not outright sickly. That unique constitution of yours aligns you closely with the concept of death and undeath, giving you corpse-like attributes… By the way, that is the case despite said innate constitution currently being dormant within you”

“Once you can awaken it, I suspect that you’ll be able to do things even without any precise knowledge of methods or the use of any cultivation techniques about the necromantic arts, so do not worry too much… And besides, the Elt family just so happens to have dealings with a sect that dwells in such topics. Once I return to my family, I’ll be able to get my hands on things to help you develop those powers”

Jingyi was a bit dumbfounded. Usually, when one would be told that they were born with an affinity for a dark, vile art, they could be disturbed… But her master did not care about that. He only cared that it was useful to him.

Besides, she did not have anything else but her master and his residence. The only other two people she had truly been interacting with were also maids here now, and she didn’t have any family left. So there was no point in worrying about the consequences or how she would be viewed for it.

And anyway, she only cared for how Edrick saw her…

“Master…”

“No need to thank me, you’ll do so by using your abilities to serve me, for now-” in a swift motion, he pinned the headmaid against the wall, rubbing two fingers in between her legs through her uniform.

“-You’ll do well to serve me with your body”
