Chapter 10: Being a Maid Here Is Actually Pretty Good!
Dai Mubai forced a few words out between clenched teeth, his eyes filled with desperate pleading.
Tang San's expression turned solemn. He circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, his Purple Demon Eye activated as he reached out toward the grain of dust resting on Dai Mubai's shoulder.
"Up!"
Tang San shouted softly as he used the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon technique.
Yet it didn't move at all.
The tiny grain of dust seemed to have grown roots, weighing as much as a thousand jun!
Tang San strained until his face turned red and his neck bulged with veins. He even summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, but still couldn't budge it in the slightest.
"How is this possible?!" Tang San was horrified.
With his natural divine strength and the amplification of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he couldn't even lift a single grain of dust?
"Xiao San, stop wasting your effort."
Yu Xiaogang walked over with a pale face. Looking at Dai Mubai lying flat on the ground, a trace of complexity and fear flashed in his eyes.
"This is divine punishment."
"It is the manifestation of the will of that higher-dimensional world."
"Unless that Immortal Lord withdraws his will, Mubai will probably have to stay lying there."
Hearing this, the final glimmer of hope in Dai Mubai's eyes extinguished, leaving behind nothing but despair.
He was a prince of the Star Luo Empire.
And now he had to lie flat on the ground like a turtle being stepped on?
"Mubai, don't be too upset."
At that moment, Ma Hongjun walked over. Although he felt uneasy at the sight of Dai Mubai's miserable state, he still tried to sound casual.
"Think about it. That Immortal Lord is a higher-dimensional being. Normally, we can't fight him."
"And Zhu Zhuqing only went to wash swords anyway. She's just a maid. Maybe she'll get kicked out after a few days of work."
Oscar quickly chimed in.
"Yeah, Boss Dai. A real man knows when to bend and when to stand tall."
"Zhu Zhuqing just got a bit lucky. As long as we brothers stay united, we'll definitely become gods in the future. Then we can go to that world and regain our dignity!"
Tang San also patted Dai Mubai's mud-covered head with a righteous expression.
"Mubai, this is only a temporary setback."
"You have to believe that even if she goes to that world, her heart must still be in Douluo. After all, we are her true companions."
"As long as you endure the humiliation, there may still be opportunities in the future."
Listening to his brothers' comforting words, Dai Mubai still felt suffocated inside, but he could only force himself to accept it.
That's right.
Zhu Zhuqing had only gone to wash a sword. She hadn't married anyone.
As long as she still acknowledged him as her fiancé, then this humiliation wasn't completely real yet!
…
Primordial Immortal Court, Sword Pavilion.
Zhu Zhuqing knew nothing about what had happened in the lower world.
She was fully focused on carefully wiping the unparalleled ferocious sword in her hands.
After a full hour, when the final trace of Chaos Spirit Spring Water slid across the blade—
"Clang!"
The black sword known as the Great Luo Sword Embryo suddenly released a crisp sword cry.
Immediately afterwards, a visible stream of white energy surged out of the sword and flowed along Zhu Zhuqing's arm into her body!
"Mm!"
Zhu Zhuqing trembled slightly.
She felt no pain. Instead, it was as if her soul had been washed by a supreme sharpness.
Martial Soul: Hell Spirit Cat (Second Evolution in Progress)!
Soul Power: Rank 45 → Rank 47!
Just from wiping the sword once, not only had her soul power surged by two levels, but more importantly, a trace of sword intent had appeared within her martial soul!
It was sword intent originating from the Immortal King's sword.
From now on, every one of her attacks would carry an indestructible edge!
"So this is the Immortal Lord's blessing?"
Feeling the surging power inside her body, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze toward the sword became even more reverent.
"Alright, the task is complete."
"Pour out the sword-washing water."
At that moment, the older maid responsible for training them walked over. She glanced at the basin of somewhat murky water and casually instructed.
"Yes."
Zhu Zhuqing lifted the jade basin.
Originally, the water inside had been Chaos Spirit Spring Water. But after mixing with dust and impurities from the sword, it had turned grayish-black.
"May I ask where I should pour it?" Zhu Zhuqing asked carefully.
The older maid pointed toward a small garden outside the Sword Pavilion.
"Just pour it into that flowerbed."
"The killing aura in this water is too heavy. Ordinary plants can't handle it. Only the weeds in our Immortal Court are tough enough to endure it."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and carried the basin outside.
The Sky Screen followed her closely.
Across the Douluo Continent, countless viewers, especially Tang San, were staring intensely at the basin in Zhu Zhuqing's hands.
"That's Chaos Spirit Spring Water…"
"Even if it's dirty now, the energy inside must still be terrifying!"
"What will happen if it's poured onto something?"
Tang San's Purple Demon Eye flickered.
As someone skilled in studying herbs and poisons, he instinctively felt that the basin of water was extraordinary.
On the screen—
Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the so-called flowerbed.
It was just a patch of casually tilled black soil with several sparse, yellowing weeds growing within it.
One of the plants had slender leaves and a sickly blue color, looking as if it were about to wither.
"Why does that grass look a bit familiar?"
Tang San frowned.
Why did that plant resemble his Blue Silver Grass?
Zhu Zhuqing didn't think much of it.
She raised the basin and poured the water directly onto the dying blue weed.
"Splash!"
Half a basin of murky sword-washing water soaked the plant.
In the next second—
A miracle occurred.
Boom!!!
The originally dying blue weed trembled violently as soon as it touched the water, as if injected with ten tons of stimulants!
Its previously yellowing leaves instantly turned crystal-clear, shining with a sapphire-like brilliance!
Then its size began to grow wildly.
One inch.
One foot.
One zhang!
In just a few breaths, the weed that had only been ankle-high suddenly grew into a giant plant over three meters tall!
And golden patterns appeared on every leaf!
Those were the patterns of a king.
At the same time, an extremely rich life aura mixed with sharp sword energy erupted from the plant.
It was countless times stronger than Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul!
"This… this…"
At Shrek Academy—
Tang San felt as though he had been struck by lightning.
The teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a sharp crash.
He stared wide-eyed at the towering Blue Silver Grass, feeling as if his entire worldview had shattered.
"Is that still Blue Silver Grass?!"
"Why do I feel a bloodline pressure coming from it?!"
"No… could it be an ultimate evolution of Blue Silver Grass with offensive attributes?!"
At that moment, Tang San's mentality completely collapsed.
Why were they both Blue Silver Grass—
Yet his Blue Silver Grass was so weak, while the one in that world stood like a king?
Compared to the weed grown from that basin of sword-washing water, his martial soul looked like nothing more than rotten vegetables from a garbage heap!
"That was just discarded wastewater!!"
Tang San clutched his chest, feeling a stabbing pain in his heart.
"No… I refuse to believe it!"
"A random weed from that world is stronger than my martial soul?"
He stared at the Blue Silver Grass he had summoned in his palm.
What once seemed decent now looked unbelievably shabby.
Just then, the older maid passed by and glanced at the evolved Blue Silver Emperor Sword Grass.
She only frowned slightly.
"Tsk. This weed has quite strong vitality."
"It's grown so big that it's blocking the path."
"Find some time tomorrow and pull it out. It's unpleasant to look at."
Hearing that, Tang San could no longer endure it.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed backwards onto the ground.
That was the emperor of plant spirits.
Yet in that world, it was nothing more than a weed that would be pulled out for blocking the road?
This was not just humiliation.
It was complete dimensional suppression.
Dai Mubai was still lying flat on the ground.
Now it was Tang San's turn to collapse.
The entire Shrek Academy fell into a gloomy silence.
Only Zhu Zhuqing looked at the vibrant plant, a faint smile on her face.
She suddenly felt—
Even being a maid here, even if it was just pouring water, was actually pretty good.
