Chapter 435: Epilogue 2 – Become My Maid!

Emei Mountain, Great Emei Peak.

You Xue walked out of the side room and stood at the edge of a broken cliff, gazing at the sky.

It had just stopped raining heavily, and the sky was now clear and blue, with the scent of wet earth in the air.

A young nun approached You Xue: “Master, someone from the foot of the mountain is looking for you.”

“Refuse,” You Xue decided.

“But that person seems to be your family,” the young nun hesitated.

“Once I entered the monastery, my past life no longer concerns me,” You Xue firmly declined. “Is there anything else?”

“There’s another thing. The sect leader asked me to confirm whether you will participate in the Huashan martial arts contest in half a year,” said the young nun.

You Xue thought for a moment before handing the game console to Xia Yu: “Do you think I’m ready for the Huashan contest?”

Xia Yu pulled up You Xue’s character attributes: “If you play well, barely.”

“That means I’m not ready,” You Xue was painfully aware of her own skills.

“If you complete that family quest, you’ll be high enough level,” Xia Yu shared his experience.

“No, no,” You Xue threw the console aside and rolled around with her pillow. “I’m not going to see those people! They abandoned me and sent me up this mountain!”

“That’s because back home, you didn’t do any business activities, just kept spending the family money shopping. When the financial losses reached a certain level, it triggered the ‘sent away’ storyline!” Xia Yu said pointedly while looking at You Xue.

The girl keenly sensed Xia Yu’s implication. She turned her head, her expression serious: “Brother, you’re not suggesting something, are you?”

“I’m being explicit!” Xia Yu grabbed You Xue’s head. “You haven’t left the house even once in a year!”

“That’s not true! I clearly went out several times!” You Xue tried to pry Xia Yu’s hand off her head, but couldn’t budge it at all.

“Picking up packages and takeout doesn’t count as going out!” Xia Yu shook You Xue’s head.

“There’s also…”

Before You Xue could finish speaking, Xia Yu interrupted her: “Being dragged out to play by Liu Manman and others doesn’t count as going out either!”

With both types of outings rejected, You Xue had no grounds for rebuttal and chose to launch a personal attack instead.

“Brother is bullying me!” You Xue pouted as she picked up her phone. “I’m going to tell Sister Manman and Sister Weiwei.”

Helplessly letting go of You Xue, Xia Yu said, “At least tidy up your room a bit.”

Xia Yu looked at the ball-shaped blanket and the snacks and clothes scattered everywhere.

“The maids will do that!” You Xue put her phone aside. Since Xia Yu didn’t seem to want to force her, she didn’t need to call Liu Manman and Yan Wei either. It was rare to have this alone time with her brother.

Xia Yu sighed.

Why had his once diligent and capable younger sister become such a homebody?

There hadn’t been any changes in morality or personality, as far as he could tell.

Wait, actually there was one change.

Previously, You Xue had been enthusiastic about doing housework every day, even resisting having housekeepers and maids brought into the house.

But after arriving at the palace, You Xue couldn’t refuse the palace maids, so naturally she no longer had any housework to do.

So was the problem caused by the maids?

Had the maids made You Xue become so lazy?

Having identified the cause, Xia Yu quickly came up with a solution. He said to You Xue, “Starting today, you’re going to begin working as a maid.”

“Eh? Why?” You Xue looked at Xia Yu in disbelief. “You specifically said before that there was no need to work!”

“Going out to work isn’t necessary. You can work as a maid at home.” Xia Yu patted You Xue’s head, feeling this plan was perfect.

“I don’t want to, I don’t want to work! I’m still a child!” You Xue curled up on the bed, pretending to be a child. “I need a diaper change, Brother help me.”

Staring at You Xue for three seconds, Xia Yu walked toward the door.

Feeling something ominous, You Xue asked, “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to buy you diapers.” Xia Yu’s tone was serious.

“I was wrong.” You Xue assumed a dogeza position.

But Xia Yu ignored her and walked out of the room.

Ten minutes later, with You Xue anxiously waiting, Xia Yu returned.

He threw a bag of diapers and a maid uniform in front of You Xue: “You choose.”

You Xue could only choose the maid uniform.

Changing into the maid uniform in the dressing room, You Xue walked out.

Xia Yu gave her an ultimatum: “Clean this room thoroughly. I’ll inspect it tonight. If you fail, you’ll be lying in a baby cradle wearing diapers.”

With that, he walked out of the room.

You Xue pretended to pat the blanket, then called for help from the maids once Xia Yu was far away.

However, the maids had already been informed by Xia Yu and dared not help.

You Xue had no choice but to do it herself.

She had already forgotten when she last did housework. At first, she was a bit clumsy, but gradually became more skilled, regaining that familiar feeling.

While organizing the clothes, she unexpectedly discovered a digital camera.

Opening the camera, You Xue browsed through the photos. The pictures showed various scenic spots, all familiar places. Had she really enjoyed going out so much before?

There were also many photos of meals and rooms, but none were her own portions—they were Xia Yu’s.

These were commemorative photos taken after finishing housework.

Looking at these photos, You Xue felt happy.

Although her past self was busy, she felt fulfilled. Her current self, though relaxed, felt empty.

It was all the maids’ fault!

They did all the housework, leaving her with nothing to do, so she could only play video games to entertain herself!

And there were also sisters like Yaoyao, who tempted her brother every day. She could barely see her brother once a day, so she could only play video games to relieve her sadness!

And there was also Brother himself. When he had no time to play games at Yaoyao’s place, he would come to her place to play, making her develop bad habits!

They had deprived her of her simple happiness!

That being said, playing video games was indeed easy. Since there was still time, maybe she could play a few more rounds?

Exerting tremendous willpower, You Xue sealed the game console into its packaging box and shoved it into the cabinet.

She continued cleaning the room. The maids had already tidied up, so it wasn’t too messy, and she quickly completed the task.

In the evening, Xia Yu came to the bedroom and nodded in satisfaction.

“Starting today, my room is also entrusted to you,” Xia Yu looked at You Xue, expecting her to protest, but she remained surprisingly calm.

“Okay,” You Xue readily agreed but added a condition, “but you have to play with me every day.”

Xia Yu nodded: “Okay, every evening…”

“You can’t play video games,” You Xue added the restriction.

Xia Yu thought for a moment: “How about we forget about the maid thing?”

“No way!” You Xue proudly rejected Xia Yu and began making plans, “Tomorrow I’ll invite Weiwei Jie too. You need to free up your afternoon!”

Seeing his sister, who hadn’t been excited like this in a long time, Xia Yu agreed.

You Xue mischievously grabbed Xia Yu’s hand and solemnly swore: “Rest assured, sir, I will definitely dedicate my life to this maid career.”

“So let’s play games now?”

“Okay.”
