"..."
Jiang Lihua's eyes widened.
Her body stiffened slightly, her pupils contracting sharply.
'Did the Reincarnation Ceremony require taking off clothes?'
'Although that made sense, since I had already become Master's servant, I naturally had to be prepared to dedicate myself…'
'But doing it now… wasn't it a bit too soon?'
She secretly glanced at Ayato.
'But if such a handsome master... it didn't seem impossible.'
'But there was still someone else here. It was so embarrassing.'
"Actually, you only need to take off your outer clothes."
CC, unable to watch any longer, sighed: "This Ayato-sama of ours always says things that cause misunderstandings."
"Ou-outer clothes?"
Jiang Lihua instinctively looked at Ayato, and seeing him nod, she sighed in relief.
The next moment,
Jiang Lihua's fair little hands lifted, gently removing her white palace dress, leaving only white patterned undergarments.
Her cheeks flushed. She didn't even dare to open her eyes to look at Ayato.
Even if it was just her outer clothes...
It was still the first time she had exposed herself in front of a man.
She only felt her breathing grow heavier and heavier, her skin becoming hot.
This feeling was unprecedented.
'Could I be sick?'
"That's enough, it's fine now."
Ayato didn't let her wait long. He directly took out the Evil Piece and pressed it down.
"This is... chess?"
Jiang Lihua was somewhat confused.
'Did reincarnating as a Devil require such a thing?'
"Hiss!"
As her thoughts wandered, the cool touch made her suck in a breath.
Then, her pupils contracted.
Something was flowing inside her body.
Her blood, her cells, all seemed to be changing.
Especially her lower back and back... it was really itchy.
It seemed... like something was about to come out.
"Mmm..."
With a muffled groan, Jiang Lihua could no longer hold back. A pair of small and delicate Devil wings burst from her body.
A tail with a heart-shaped tip also slowly emerged.
"I... am I a Devil now?"
Looking at her wings and tail, Jiang Lihua blinked.
But her weak body seemed to have become much stronger.
And there was a strange power inside her body.
Instinctively, she raised her hand, and a faint light appeared in her palm.
"This is magic power, which every Devil has."
Seeing this, Ayato took out a book: "This contains many useful magics. Every one of my servants has a copy. Take your time to study it."
"Ayato's Servant Basics 2.0?"
Murmuring softly, Jiang Lihua reached out and took it, instinctively flipping through it.
After just a few pages, Jiang Lihua's eyes grew wider and wider.
'A Devil who kills gods.'
'An earthly king who reigns over all.'
'The arbiter of the Three Factions: Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils.'
'This was my master?'
The more she read, the more shaken she became.
'This... is really my new master?'
Instinctively,
Jiang Lihua looked at Ayato, a look of reverence in her eyes.
'This was no Devil's deal.'
'This... was simply a gift from heaven.'
She didn't expect to be hit by such a huge pie without even realizing it.
She also wondered if she really had gotten lucky.
Unknowingly, her eyes grew moist.
'So this was what it felt like to have a strong support?'
"Hey, why are you about to cry again?"
Ayato rubbed her head and said helplessly: "That's enough. My servants can't go around crying for no reason."
"Yes!"
Jiang Lihua straightened her back, wiped her eyes, and said: "Master, I will never cry again."
A strange expression appeared on Ayato's face.
'Good grief!'
'Why was she suddenly pumped up?'
Come to think of it,
He hadn't read this Basics 2.0 version himself.
'Could Utaha and the others have added some personal touches?'
'But...'
'It seemed to be a good addition.'
'The effect was surprisingly good.'
He smiled and said: "Among all the magics, I suggest you learn teleportation magic first. It's the most practical and essential magic to master."
"Yes."
Jiang Lihua nodded, then said shyly: "Ma-master, the book also mentioned the blessing. You see..."
Ayato gave her a deep look and said: "Don't worry, every servant gets one."
"Are you ready now?"
Hearing Ayato's words, Jiang Lihua's pretty face flushed, but she said firmly: "Yes. Please grant me the blessing, Master."
Learning of her master's greatness...
Her own shyness was nothing.
If she was hesitant and fearful, she would be letting down heaven's luck.
"In that case..."
Ayato smiled slightly and gently lifted her chin.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Jiang Lihua felt her heart begin to race. In her vision, only those ruby-like eyes remained.
"Mmm..."
...It was sealed.
Inside her body... it seemed to be burning...
Some kind of power... was flowing in...
"Congratulations, Ayato-sama. You've tricked another girl."
CC sat in a chair, resting her cheek on her hand, and said with a smile: "I wonder when you'll ever be satisfied."
"I am a Devil who wants to build a harem."
Ayato released this Empress and replied without flinching.
"Harem, am I part of my master's harem now?"
Jiang Lihua covered her mouth, her face growing redder, whether from shyness or excitement.
"Of course. All my servants are my wings."
Ayato pinched her little cheek and smiled: "And if there's anything about the blessing you don't understand, you can come to me anytime to ask."
"Yes, Master. I will work hard." Jiang Lihua nodded heavily.
CC looked at her a few times and said meaningfully: "It's best at night. Our master, being a Devil, is most energetic at night."
Jiang Lihua was stunned, then her whole body flushed pink, and she began to fidget.
"Oh, so you're not completely innocent?"
CC smiled ambiguously: "That's right. As the Empress, you should have had some necessary education."
She sighed slightly.
'It probably wouldn't be long before this new servant would be devoured by Ayato-sama.'
