41 A Ferocious Maid (1/2)

”I see you have met my daughter.”

The City Lord stated. Van found it rather strange. After all, she was right in front of him and that such a statement would usually be the start of a conversation. But of course, Van, being the high intellectual child at the age of 13 he was, could see the fury that laced the words that had come forth.

”Yes... I have! And she is a nice, well-cultured young lady that I can see will become a beautiful mature woman in the near future.”

Hao Daiyu blushed in response to Van's compliment. Hearing that come from her first friend, besides her father and servants, made her feel all tingly inside.

The City Lord's eyebrow started to twitch.

Making a move on my daughter right in front of me, are we?! I'll show you what for!

Suddenly, a lightbulb seemed to materialize inside of him as an ingenious idea spewed forth from the fountains of wisdom.

”Van, as your teacher, I must take the responsibility and time to teach you. I think this may be the perfect time for me to execute my duties as your newfound mentor.”

A malicious smile could be seen plastered to the City Lord's face as he approached Van slowly.

”No! I mean... I'm fine, thank you!”

Van screamed as he scooted away from the City Lord. Seeing that his pace wasn't nearly fast enough, he picked himself up and ran away screaming, City Lord on his tail. Tears started to drip out of the corners of Van's eyes as he thought of the unspeakable horrors to come.

I don't want to die!

Were the thoughts that ran through his head as he dashed off into the distance.

Hao Daiyu watched in shock as the Van and the City Lord commenced their chase that would lead to Van's demise, at least mentally. A few moments later, she collapsed to the ground, full of laughter. It was a beautiful melodious sound that attracted the attention of the many critters that had previously gone into hiding.

They all emerged and surrounded Hao Daiyu creating a picturesque scene that seemed to have come straight out of a page in a fairy tale.

Meanwhile, our main character was currently being chased by a demon. One that was very persistent and strangely of the human species, yet it was of the worse kind, an overprotective father kind.

What should I do?! How am I ever going to escape from this tragedy?! I was just trying to make friends here! Why did I have to make friends with someone with an overprotective father and not just any father! It's my own mentor!

Van looked around frantically, looking for a way out. The duo rushed past innocent palace servants that were just walking along the palace halls, doing their honest work. Van continued to look behind him to check if the City Lord was still there. Sure enough, the City Lord was hot on his tail, eyes blazing with unconcealed fury.

Van squeaked in fear and picked up his pace, infusing a bit more Qi into his feet, allowing him to take more strides in a second. All of a sudden, he found himself suspended in the air. He squeaked in fear, thinking that the City Lord had finally caught him.

This is the end!

He thought to himself as he was pulled up by the scruff of his neck. He was turned around so that his face was turned toward the face of the culprit. Van's expression turned to one of shock and then one of joy.

”Maria!”

Van exclaimed in joy as he recognized the face of the one who had taken care of him in the Celestial Heavens Palace as he was unconscious. He reached out his arms to hug Maria, thankful for her saving of him. Maria had a stern expression on her face as her eyes shifted from the City Lord to Van and back again.

”Maria, I can explain.”

The City Lord was sweating nervously as he tried his best to carefully compose an appropriate response to the angered servant.

”What are you two doing?! You've ruined the organization of the entire palace and thrown it into chaos!”
