The steward did not know what she was asking. Yun Jun Xianzi said, "Isn't it just climbing up step by step from the position of a subordinate? No matter how high you climb, you are still just a mere servant. For a hundred years, two hundred years, until death, you remain in a lowly position."
Yuan Bo echoed, "Yun Jun Xianzi is wise. There's no need to waste words with this slave. Let this old servant speak to her."
Yun Jun Xianzi waved her hand and looked ahead, "No need. The master is here."
Upon hearing the commotion, Xiao Ling Xianzi flew over.
"Xiao Ling pays her respects to Yun Jun Xianzi."
Yun Jun Xianzi smiled slightly, "Sister, long time no see."
Xiao Ling Xianzi looked up and returned the smile, "It's all my fault for being clumsy and busy with chores every day. I'll make time to visit you properly soon."
Yun Jun Xianzi said, "It's a promise then."
Xiao Ling Xianzi looked at the five corpses on the ground, slightly displeased, "But... what is Xianzi doing? Why did you kill the miscellaneous servants sent by my mansion?"
Yun Jun Xianzi said calmly, "They were killed because they didn't meet the required numbers accurately, and those five miscellaneous servants were disobedient. Sister taught them a lesson."
Ming Zhi Tian emerged from the side, peeking from behind a tree, "It's this wicked woman again."
Xiao Ling Xianzi said, "But my Xiao Ling Xian Mansion is indeed short-handed. It's not the steward's fault, and he is my subordinate. You don't need to trouble yourself to discipline him."
"Oh?" Yun Jun Xianzi's authority seemed challenged. "Sister, let me be clear. Setting aside his issues, as your master, how can I command respect if you indulge your subordinates in such actions? If you don't deliver this month, you can skip next month too. Wouldn't that throw the Three Gods and Ten Immortals into chaos?"
Xiao Ling Xianzi said, "Sister, I will also be blunt. As far as I know, the reason your Yun Jun Shen Mansion is short-handed is because of your excessively violent behavior. Kill those who displease you, kill those who stay silent, kill those who talk too much. I also heard that just a few days ago, a mere miscellaneous servant was thrown into the Nine Cold Pond, with no chance of survival, simply for looking at you too much."
Yun Jun Xianzi's anger flared, "What? Are you here to enumerate my transgressions?"
Xiao Ling Xianzi's tone was firm, "No, I just hope that Sister can cherish the small lives who have fearlessly contributed to your fruit garden and refrain from such excessive killing."
"!"
Yuan Bo was surprised that she would speak to Yun Jun Xianzi in such a manner, and he unconsciously took a step back. Even from a distance, he could feel the wrath emanating from Yun Jun Xianzi.
Even the guards and servants of Xiao Ling Xian Mansion broke out in a cold sweat.
"Enough!" Yun Jun Xianzi finally lost her temper, "Xiao Ling! I've been polite to you and called you sister, and you've truly taken yourself too seriously?"
Her aura as a second-stage Yuan Man Da Lun Wang realm cultivator erupted!
It crushed everyone present, leaving them breathless, including Xiao Ling Xianzi, a first-stage Da Cheng Da Lun Wang realm cultivator.
Xiao Ling Xianzi resisted the pressure and spoke, "Yun Jun! What exactly do you want? I've already said, if the numbers aren't met this month, I'll make them up next month!"
"Make them up?" Yun Jun Xianzi burst into laughter. "Too late! I don't lack manpower, and today, it seems I must teach you a lesson, or you truly won't take my Yun Jun Shen Mansion seriously!"
Suddenly, Yun Jun Xianzi spotted Ming Zhi Tian with his mechanical arm. He was conspicuous and caught her eye immediately.
"You brat... you're not dead?!"
Ming Zhi Tian clenched his fist, hesitating between fleeing and attacking.
Suddenly, a figure in white flashed by!
Shang Bai swung his sword, releasing a blade of energy that dispersed Yun Jun Xianzi's second-stage Yuan Man Da Lun Wang realm aura.
