Originally, he was still worried that the Dark Gold Shadow Fire Bee and the Green Demon Bee were two different bee species, and they wouldn’t mate.

His worry was unnecessary.

All he needed to do was patiently wait for the Green Demon Bee to lay eggs.

After his bath, Qin Niu walked towards Wang Wanyan’s room. While the insects were busy procreating, he too must work hard towards the goal of soon becoming a father.

If he could have several children, raise them, and have them join him in cultivation, the Qin Family would gradually flourish.

He would also have the strongest support.

Father and son soldiers in battle, after all.

The next morning, Qin Niu wrestled out of the tender land, dressed, and left the room.

He didn’t wake Wang Wanyan, still sleeping soundly.

Having given her a tough time last night, naturally, he let her sleep a while longer.

“Master, good morning!”

The three maidservants were industrious, getting up early to prepare breakfast and boil hot water.

Upon seeing Qin Niu rise, they brought over the hot water for washing.

“Is it raining outside?”

“Yes, a light rain has been falling!”

Yu Qiu, the oldest of the maidservants, replied.

The other two maidservants were only around thirteen years old, a bit young, and also much shier.

They didn’t dare to converse much with their master.

Every time they saw Qin Niu, they would stand respectfully, hands held down at the front, shoulders slightly drooped.

“You three have been at my residence for some time now, are you getting used to it?”

“Used to it!”

The two younger maidservants replied softly.

“You and the two madams treat us very well, never scold us. I have food to eat, a good place to live, and the work is not tiring. It is good! Being able to serve you and the two madams as maidservants is my good fortune.”

Yu Qiu’s answer might have a hint of flattery, but her tone and gaze were very sincere as she spoke.

Her overall demeanor was also quite positive.

Her complexion had a hint of rosy health, her eyes were bright, indicating her life here was indeed not bad.

“As long as you work hard and serve me and the two madams well, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. I’m planning to go into the city today, and I see your clothing is quite worn. I will buy two sets for each of you. Just tell Xiao Qing your sizes.”

Qin Niu was fairly satisfied with the performance of the three maidservants over this period.

It was also time to give them some rewards to keep them motivated.

Adults work hard mostly to honor their parents, support their children, and improve the lives of their families and themselves— to have enough food and warm clothing.

They sold themselves to Qin Niu, becoming servants, which made it impossible for them to contact their families again.

Unless they had Qin Niu’s permission.

The maidservants generally wouldn’t take the initiative to contact their families.

Most of them were sold off by their parents or siblings, losing their freedom.

And others no longer had any family.

Some uncles or other relatives, upon seeing their niece’s parents dead or missing, might outright sell them off, then usurp their inheritance.

For the sake of money, human nature can be more terrifying than demons.

“Thank you, master!”

All three maidservants were overjoyed upon hearing that their master was going to get them new clothes.

Their smiles were evident on their faces.

“Yang Yao, this is the first time I’ve seen you smile; you should smile more in the future. That way you’ll look prettier, understand? If you always frown and look troubled, you’ll only grow uglier, and age especially fast,” Qin Niu told the maidservant with a beauty mark on her left eyebrow.

This maidservant was picked by Wang Wanyan, quite frail looking, but not bad in appearance. She was just exceptionally introverted, always seemed preoccupied, rarely speaking.
